Chapter 1011 Hermione Is Chasing
"I can't help it either."
In the underground potion preparation room of Black's old house, Hermione stared at the rune pattern left by Maca for a long time, but finally she turned around and shook her head.
"Just like what Professor Snape said just now, the characters used here should be ancient Phoenician characters, and they are also a very special variant. As far as the current research on ancient magic is concerned, the Phoenician characters should be It doesn’t have magic power, but the variant inside is the real rune!”
"Of course, the most difficult thing in this array is probably another rune that is the foundation of its structure. To be honest, I have never seen such a wonderful rune. Just looking at them like this, I can almost hear them talking to me."
A true scholar will always be fascinated by the mysteries of knowledge. Just like Hermione right now, after seeing Maca's research results on ancient magic, her mood is self-evident.
Of course, while deeply shocked by this rune array, the disappearance of Maca still affects her heart. This made her put aside the emotion in her heart for a while, and worry about Maca's whereabouts.
"Sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you here."
"It's all right," Lupine immediately stepped forward to comfort him, "At least you can recognize two runes. Professor Flitwick and I can only stand here stupidly."
"There's no time left for you to laugh at yourself and be depressed," Snape suddenly interrupted, "Although I still don't think Maca will cause any serious problems, what needs to be done must be done."
With Snape's usual style of doing things, it's natural that they couldn't see them messing around here. After saying this, he naturally began to assign the next thing to do.
"Granger, here is where you have the most in-depth research on Maca's magic. You can stay here and continue to study and try to see if you can get it out. Professor Flitwick, please go and help with Hagrid. Shaker and the others are searching for other clues together. As for Lupine, you can take me to the scene to have a look."
Having said that, he paused for a while, and said at the end as he walked out:
"It's very likely that there will be nothing to gain tonight. We will follow up tomorrow night and get ready to temporarily use potions instead of sleep."
Seeing Snape walking out of the preparation room door on his own, Lupine and Flitwick looked at each other and shook their heads.
"He's really very capable," the former murmured in a low voice, "it's just the way he always bosses around with a cold face,
It's really hard to like anything. "
Flitwick was about to say something, but Snape's voice suddenly came from the corridor outside.
"Lupine, stop dawdling, come out! I have class tomorrow"
"If Sirius is here, there must be a fight!" Lupine shrugged, and then said, "Here we come!"
To be honest, Maca actually guessed the general situation in Black's old house.
Because the impression I left on everyone on weekdays has always been relatively calm, and no matter whether that calmness is real or pretended, it will keep everyone from being too nervous in this situation.
It's just that this time, even he didn't expect that Snape went to the old house together, speeding up the whole search.
Of course, for now, it doesn't seem to have any effect on him.
"Is this the key to the abnormal flow of magic power in the space?"
After more than a day and night of speculation and perception, Maca followed the flow of magic power in the air and gradually came to this place.
Coincidentally, this is actually the inside of the bell chamber of London's Big Ben, where he had settled in the beginning.
Looking at the combination of a large number of gears, heavy pendulums and long poles that also only have black, white and gray, Maca stared at it silently for a while, but then shook his head again.
Yes, the abnormality of the flow of magic power seems to be the most intense here, but there is only a slight difference from the outside. However, some of the special magic objects that he originally expected did not seem to exist at all.
This is a typical Gothic building in the Victorian period. The clock itself, including the clock itself, embodies a complex, delicate and accurate aesthetic feeling. It is one of the outstanding works in the history of Muggle architecture.
However, what he can find from this bell tower seems to be limited to this.
"What's the problem?"
Looking back suddenly, the dial of the clock made of 312 pieces of white glass is shining slightly, reflecting on Maca's gloomy face.
And at this moment, the windbreaker wizard who happened to be walking on the street outside Big Ben suddenly raised his head. While looking at the huge bell tower in the distance, a pair of bright eyes under the brim of the hat revealed complicated emotions.
Big Ben has a height of more than 300 feet. At such a long distance, even Maca would not be aware that he was actually looking at the other pair of eyes through a layer of opaque glass.
Similarly, the wizard in the windbreaker under the bell tower didn't know that Maca was on the other side of the dial he was watching from a distance at this moment.
But the thoughts of the two are almost the same.
"What kind of intention does Hai Erbo create this black and white space?"
After quietly looking up for a while, the wizard in the windbreaker turned around again and continued walking along the street. As he walked, the thoughts in his mind kept changing.
Not long after, the figure walking alone on the street also shrunk a little bit as it went away until it disappeared in the distance of the road.
On the other hand, Hermione, who spent the whole night pondering under Black's old house, finally threw the manuscript paper aside helplessly.
To be honest, the Black family deserves to be a family of pure-blood wizards that has lasted for many generations, and the amount of books here alone cannot be underestimated.
Here, Hermione found some documents related to Phoenician characters, including translation records left by wizards hundreds of years ago.
However, it still does not break away from the scope of ordinary Phoenician letters, and it is of little help to the study of the Phoenician runes used in the rune array in Maca.
For the whole night, although Hermione had gained something, it could only be regarded as nothing.
"Hermione, it's almost dawn, you should go back to Hogwarts first! If you go back at this time, you should be able to sleep for a while."
Suddenly, Lupine's voice came from behind him.
Hermione looked at the scattered papers on the table, then turned her head to look at Lupine, and nodded silently.
She really wanted to work hard, but she also knew that the things in front of her could not be accomplished by hard work alone.
What's more, it's time for her to go back, Harry and the others don't know about this situation yet!
"Lupine, I am tomorrow, I mean, I can still come over tonight, can't I?" Hermione said softly, "You know, I want to try again. I remember that there seems to be some magic in Maca's office." documents."
"Really?" Lupine thought for a while, "It should be fine, but you have to remember to take some time to rest. After all, it's no good to just use potions like awakening potions to support yourself."
"Well, I see."
Not long after, Lupine sent her back to Hogwarts, and after watching her go in, he left alone again. And until now, the sky hadn't really brightened yet.
It's obviously not a big deal for them big men to stay up all night or something, and it's even more commonplace for Lupine. But when Hermione was still growing up, she was not as careless as Snape, and Lupine felt that he could still be a good father.
Probably because the relationship with Tonks has been getting better and better recently! This guy finally began to secretly think about how many children he should have in the future
On Hermione's side, after studying the ancient runes all night and returning to the dormitory, although she had already felt tired, she still didn't feel sleepy at all.
She waited until the sky just dawned outside the window, and she couldn't lie down anymore, so she turned over and got out of bed, got dressed, and rushed to the stairs of the boys' dormitory.
"Boom!"
"Get up! Harry, Ron, Neville get up!"
Breaking into the boys' dormitory is the privilege of ladies, and for Hermione, pulling Harry and the others out of bed early in the morning is a lot of work.
"I have something to tell you, hurry up! Ron, you"
He didn't know if he saw something he shouldn't see, and Harry, who was still dazed with his eyes closed, heard Hermione let out a low cry suddenly.
"Anyway, put on all your clothes and come to the common room!"
"boom!"
After the sound of the door being slammed shut, Harry struggled to open his eyelids and looked up at the opposite bed.
Immediately, he saw that Ron was hugging his body pitifully, and his quilt had already been lifted to the floor beside him.
"It's a good thing she tore off your quilt first," Harry said, "Ron, why did you sleep naked?"
"What naked! I'm still wearing underwear, okay!" Ron immediately defended himself, and then said, "Isn't the weather getting warmer?"
"Hey," Harry said with a curl of his lips, "just wait for Hermione's cold face in the next few days! It's much colder than the weather!"
About an hour later, Harry and the others, who had heard from Hermione what she had experienced last night, also walked towards the auditorium one after another with other students.
However, Harry's gloating towards Ron in the morning was completely covered up by his worries at the moment, and he no longer wanted to laugh at Ron.
But just when they passed the hall and walked into the side door of the auditorium, Luna, who arrived earlier than them, suddenly raised her head from the long Ravenclaw table, and looked at Harry and the others. Zhang has a slightly dull face. 14
