Chapter 1004 The Miscalculated Situation
The Ouagadu School of Magic in Africa was invaded by basilisks. Although a basilisk should not destroy a magic school with a long history, it is probably not a small disaster.
After all, not every basilisk is like the one in Hogwarts, restrained by Voldemort's remnant soul.
And once the basilisk is allowed to act unrestrainedly, the instant death sight is an extremely terrifying large-scale lethal weapon, and it is really "can stare at you to death at a glance".
"Thinking about it this way, how do you feel that Voldemort was not so vicious when he was young?"
After seeing off the children, Maca stood at the door of Black's old house, and a slightly strange thought flashed through his mind inexplicably.
After thinking about it, he shook his head again, and said secretly:
"No, it should be said that Voldemort in his youth hadn't become as paranoid as he was later - he was probably just on the way to form gangs and seek power!"
In fact, Voldemort had a special affection for Hogwarts from the beginning to the end, and he also quite understood the value of this magic school that allowed him to grow up.
Just like the principals of all generations, including Dumbledore, they all know that talents are the important factors that lay the foundation of the magic world and affect the development of the magic world.
And for the same reason, Voldemort never thought of completely destroying Hogwarts even though his soul was divided and his mind was repeatedly affected by the Bewitched Monument.
What he wants is control, not destruction.
But now, as a dark wizard who is also unwilling to die and forcibly breaks free from the cycle of life and death, Haierbo doesn't care about these things.
It can be seen from his wanton destruction and plundering of lives time and time again,
His purpose is only one - to rely on the study of magic to become stronger, strong enough for him to truly break free from the shackles of the rules of death.
To be honest, Maca really wanted to go to Africa and do a favor. Let alone earning favors, at least, that might allow him to dig out more clues about Haierbo's actions.
It's a pity that he obviously can't leave the British wizarding world at this moment.
In order to go to Blois Castle earlier, he made multiple preparations in advance, but even then, it can only be said that everyone has grown up enough.
Now if he wants to do it again, the result is already predictable.
"...Maka, is the 'new news' that the old butler just said is true?"
No matter what, Waggadu is also a magic school that ranks first in the world of magic. Hearing that the school was attacked by a basilisk, it seems that the situation is still very bad. Lupine on the side feels somewhat incredible.
Besides, why did Haierbo attack Waggadu? Does that mean anything to him?
"There are very few errors in the information of the Bulova family," Maca said, "and, something as big as this... It is estimated that it will soon spread to the magic circles of all countries!"
The catastrophe in London not long ago, the Muggles could still hide it, but in the wizarding world, it was spread all over the place in a blink of an eye.
In comparison, the situation of Waggadu this time is obviously more shocking in the magic world, not to mention whether there is still that secretive energy in the African magic world.
When Maca's voice fell slightly and Lupine gradually fell into deep thought again, Leni, who was deeply saddened by the parting of her friends, seemed to have thought of something, and asked belatedly:
"Bastard Maca, you... you don't know how to go!"
Probably because I cried a little hard just now, but now my heart is sensitive. Maca turned her head and found that her eye sockets were turning red again.
"Hey," Maca grinned at her, "I really want to leave, but I have to be able to! That guy Hai Erbo is smart, who knows if it's just another cover? As soon as I leave, I'm afraid that the British wizarding world will suffer!"
Having said that, he could only shrug his shoulders and say:
"Of course, if Hai Erbo himself shows up in Africa, that's another matter. As for now..., if the situation is really bad, I think the Federation will definitely not sit idly by."
...
The next morning, Hogwarts Great Hall.
As Maca said, it was only the next day that the international column of the Daily Prophet was specially transferred to the front page. And "Basilisk! Basilisk!" Such a simple and crude headline has occupied a large amount of page space.
However, Maca sometimes guessed wrong-yesterday he also said that it was impossible for such an astonishing event to be hidden from the vast wizarding crowd, but today's report only contained some rather rough descriptions throughout.
So much so that even the usually most convincing and captivating scene-of-the-magic photo was accompanied by a generic basilisk illustration in this headline.
It seems that Maca still misjudged the weight of what the old housekeeper said at the time, "The person sent there has not sent a message back yet".
"...the basilisk."
On the Gryffindor long table, Hermione read the article carefully from beginning to end, and then handed it to Ron who was asking her for it.
And the word "basilisk" that she whispered in her mouth undoubtedly has a very special meaning to the few people around her.
After being silent for a while, she added:
"According to ancient documents, Haierbo was the first wizard in history to breed a basilisk."
No need for Hermione to say anything, everyone can almost understand what she meant. At the same time, the problem that plagued Maca and Luping yesterday also caused everyone to fall into deep confusion today.
To be honest, the basilisk and the like didn't really shock Hermione and the others who had gone through many hardships. Moreover, everyone who has faced the basilisk for a long time also knows that the basilisk is not invincible.
But that guy Haierbo, why on earth is he making such a fuss all over the world?
"Hermione," Ron, who was reading the newspaper, suddenly put down the newspaper in his hand, and said abruptly, "Maka should...won't be going to Africa this time, right?"
Hermione nodded immediately after hearing the words:
"Well, he can't go..."
Although the answer was straightforward, everyone agreed with it in their hearts. But even though everyone knew it in their hearts, there was a little more silence in the expressions of each of them.
Even if you couldn't see Maca's figure from time to time before, you could still see it from time to time after all. No matter how bad it was, it was still possible to catch a few good glances at him during mealtimes or during class.
It seems that every time the existence of Maca is confirmed, everyone will feel more at ease in their hearts.
But now, knowing that Maca will definitely be by his side and won't really leave, it might be a long time before he can see him again.
Not long after, Harry suddenly patted the table and reminded:
"Don't think about it, Maca will never appear in front of us no matter how much you think about it. And the reason why he left us temporarily is to protect the entire British magic world? Listen to me, we should do whatever we want !"
"What?" Ron thought for a while, "It's almost time for the Quidditch match again, this time against Slytherin...Are you going to play?"
"Why not?"
For a wizard who can't fly by stepping on a book like Maca, broomstick practice is naturally indispensable.
And even if it's no longer a practice just for the Quidditch match, there's nothing wrong with taking part in the Academy Cup by the way.
After spreading his hands very calmly, Harry replied:
"There is also Hermione's formation practice - although it is difficult to call the seniors who have graduated to practice, there are also many r.a. members in the school. Since we have all been affirmed by Maca before, why not continue How about going down?"
After Hermione heard it, she couldn't help nodding and said:
"It's the right thing to do, and... maybe we should choose some more students to be our partners. Of course, we need to be as careful as possible when choosing."
As she said this, she secretly looked at Harry opposite.
I don't know what kind of psychological changes happened to Harry, but I always feel that he seems to be more determined than before.
Speaking of which, since the beginning of this semester, Harry still discussed the use of various spells with Neville as frequently as in the last few days at St. Mungo's.
As the number of conversations between the two continued to increase, Harry gradually changed dramatically.
But other than that, he seemed to have completely forgotten about the Gryffindor sword training that had been going on before Christmas. Until now, I haven't seen him go to the Response Room even once!
Hermione didn't know whether Harry's change was useful for picking up the sword, she could only guess based on her feeling, maybe the next time she saw Harry clenched the hilt, it was he who really started to chase after Maca's back It's that day.
Thinking about it this way, while Hermione, who is Harry's best friend, was happy, she couldn't help thinking about the direction she was going to take in the future.
"...Hermione?"
She turned her head slightly after being called out by Ginny who was sitting beside her.
"Everyone has finished eating, let's go! I want to go to the library before the first class starts, do you want to come together?"
"Oh, of course!" Hermione happily replied, "I was looking for information in the ancient books area last night, and I haven't found some of them yet! Just now I have time to go and have a look—"
While she was talking to Ginny, Harry and Ron also stood up.
However, when several people were walking towards the side door quickly, Hermione subconsciously turned back on the way. It can be seen that Luna at the long Ravenclaw table is still eating, but there is still a magic book spread out beside her dinner plate.
Today, many people are working hard, even with a free-spirited personality like Luna.
"...'Purity of mind adds to purity of spirit, from which the root of the spell originates'?"
Luna muttered to herself.
