Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 1016: Luna, She, Catch the Time
?
Speaking of it, the reason why Luna was discovered by Snape when she was out last night, the problem was with Aberforth.
Because of Luna's words at the time, suddenly the knot that had bound Aberforth for many years was opened, so that the latter, under strong regret, immediately drove away all the drinkers in the bar.
For things like this offending people, let alone Aberforth is still a member of the Order of the Phoenix—even if he has nothing to do with the Order, "that night there was a strange old shopkeeper with a big waist and a big waist, who left his customers and ran after a girl. The anecdote will spread like wildfire.
So in fact, let alone Snape, even Lupin, who was as far away as London, had already learned about the incident through Mondungus' channels.
And Snape, only through the rather specific description in the rumors, concluded that the night tour was Luna.
"...What did you do when you left Hogwarts so late last night?"
At this moment, Snape stood quietly behind the podium, looking at Luna in the seat and questioning.
"Huh?" Luna immediately tilted her head and recalled, "Professor Snape, where did you see me? Why am I not impressed?"
The entrance to the secret passage that she walked was completely inside the Ravenclaw Tower, and to enter the tower, you had to pass the bronze eagle knocker - this, even the school professor was no exception.
So Luna was really surprised at this time.
"Can you go through the wall like a ghost...oh, you are actually a ghost?"
Luna had already left the bar when Aberforth hurriedly drove the guests away, so it was impossible for her to know from the beginning how her night out was exposed to Snape.
Otherwise, with her extremely leap-forward thinking, she might be able to guess the source of the leaking wind like a flash of light!
However, no matter how ridiculous Luna's words were, Snape didn't pay much attention to it.
"Miss Lovegood, you don't need to worry about how I knew," he raised his chin, "Go ahead! After leaving Hogwarts last night, where did you and Aberforth go? London? ?"
"Oh! How do you know everything?"
After hearing Snape's question, Luna suddenly looked at him with a look of admiration inexplicably.
"I see, you are not only a ghost, but you are also a jack of all trades! Wait, if Miss jack of all trades is Hermione... then you must be Mr. jack of all trades!"
Hermione was named by Snape, and most of them were malicious irony.As for Luna right now, she slipped on top of his head, and Snape's eyes twitched with anger.
After waving his hand slightly impatiently, Snape skipped the topic again and finally said straightforwardly:
"In short, you not only left the dormitory last night, you even slipped out of school and went to London. In order to be punished appropriately, starting today after school, you go to—"
The punishment of the student should have been left to the dean of the student's college, and Luna was a little wizard in Ravenclaw, and Flitwick had to deal with it anyway.But Snape didn't want to care about so much now, so he could talk to Flitwick after a while.
After all, in the final analysis, he really didn't think Luna was not pleasing to the eye—even Luna's violation of school rules, he actually didn't think it was so bad.
To tell the truth, Snape punished Luna this time, really just to warn her not to run to London.
Obviously, Snape nowadays is no longer the somewhat absent-minded Potions professor.
Ok!Of course, his eccentricity towards the Slytherins seemed to be somewhat after all.
But before Snape could say the content of the punishment, he heard footsteps at the door.And then, the front door of the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom was opened from the outside, and Professor McGonagall suddenly appeared at the door.
"Severus, so you are here?"
It can be seen that Professor McGonagall came in a hurry because she only stood still outside the door, so she could not even see Luna sitting in the middle of the classroom.
But behind her, Flitwick, Sprout and Slughorn followed, and they were all closely following the corridor outside.
Just before McGonagall’s last sentence was finalized, she followed:
"From the Ministry of Magic, Mr. Scrimgeour sent someone to send an urgent message-you know, Maca gathered those Muggles who might have been hit by dark magic in the dungeon of the Ministry. And just this morning. , Those Muggles collectively changed without warning... the dungeon floor has been lost."
Just hearing this, Snape probably understood what Scrimgeour meant to send the urgent news.
"So, does he want to ask for help?"
He said it was asking for help, but everyone who knew the inside story knew that, in fact, he just wanted to ask Maca over.
However, no one knows where Maca is now, and Scrimgeour obviously knows.Therefore, in desperation, he could only directly find the current principal of Hogwarts, Minerva McGonagall.
"Huh..." Snape chuckled lightly, and said sarcastically, "It is estimated that at the moment, our ministers don't know whether Kwamaka has the foresight, or he should be blamed for causing serious trouble to the Ministry! "
Snape had never liked Scrimgeour.
This former Auror had always been mediocre, but taking advantage of the chaos that Fudge was killed by Voldemort, Maca, and the Order of the Phoenix intervened and intervened, he almost forced himself to the position semi-voluntarily.
And now, the stability of the British magical world is mostly dependent on Maca's reputation. Although he has done a lot, he is full of details.
Of course, at least in Snape's opinion.
However, no matter how he looked down on the current Minister of Magic, he still had to help.Just as Maca was happy to let Scrimgeour stay in that seat, at least this guy always believed that being on Maca's side was the most correct choice.
"Stop talking about it," Snape's sarcasm, McGonagall heard her continue, "Severus, anyway, I'm going to let you and Slughorn go for a trip— —Let’s take a look at the situation first! What to do, remember to keep in touch."
Some things McGonagall didn't say clearly, but Snape understood.
As we all know, the dungeon of the Ministry of Magic is not directly connected to the upper floor, and even the elevator cannot directly go down to that floor.And to say that the stairs leading to the dungeon can actually be completely cut off.
So, in fact, what Professor McGonagall meant is that if the current situation of the Ministry of Magic is not so bad that the isolation is breached, then just delay it!If it can be dragged back to Maca, that's the best.
After all, who knows what the Muggles below have become?
"Yes, I know--"
Because of this sudden incident, even Snape inadvertently forgot Luna's existence.But before he could remember again, everyone present suddenly heard a light voice, which interrupted Snape's answer.
"Professor McGonagall, if I can go to the area where Maca disappeared," Luna stood up suddenly from her seat and looked at the door calmly, "Maybe I can find where Maca is."
"What? You... are you serious?"
If you asked Professor McGonagall to let her go to London yesterday, it would definitely be rejected; but at the moment of the Ministry of Magic's accident, the possibility of the other party agreeing to her is very high.
It can be said that Luna was aware of this almost instinctively, so she spoke without thinking.
"Well, really!"
...
Luna relied on her talent and hard work to give herself the ability to perceive magic.
And this ability to sense magic with the spirit of the self surpasses contemporary exploration alchemy props in its subtlety. If used properly, it can even help Luna greatly deepen the study and application of spells.
However, the talent of magic spells and her spiritual talent are obviously completely different aspects.In addition, the study of magic is definitely not a day's work, but it can be put aside for the time being.
All she needs now is to use the basic utility of perception magic to detect traces that other wizards cannot perceive.
To be honest, it is still unknown whether or not the space where Maca is located can be found through this more detailed search.
Therefore, the word "maybe" Luna used before is not really humble.
The words were divided into two parts. When Professor McGonagall made a decisive decision and asked Flitwick to take Luna to London to try to find Maca, Snape and Slughorn appeared in accordance with the original plan. The fireplace foyer of the Ministry of Magic.
"Mr. Scrimgeour."
When the two arrived there, they immediately found that the hall, which should have been so crowded, was already empty.It must have been Scrimgeour's secret words, so he simply found any excuse and invited all the wizards from the Ministry of Magic who came to handle affairs.
"Ah! Professor Snape, Professor Slughorn, here you are..."
Scrimgeour watched the two walking towards him, and while greeting them, he glanced at the place where the two had just appeared.
It's a pity that the one who made him complain because he kept stuffing Muggles into the dungeon not long ago, but now he has no hope of showing up.
Brother, don't leave the mess and run away!
"Don't look, we haven't found where Maca is right now--" Snape said indifferently, "Of course, he will reappear in front of us sooner or later, there is no doubt."
No matter what happened to the Ministry of Magic, it would never be wrong to give Scrimgeour a shot first.If he confirms that he can drag it down later, his words will naturally play its role.
"Oh, yes, yes!" Scrimgeour smiled reluctantly.
