Chapter 1147 Slate Procurement Incident
"...I'll go with you. This time, Muriel must be rescued! If this drags on...I'm afraid we will run out of time."
Although he was a little concerned about the second half of what Martin said, Maca, who was standing aside and watching the changes, secretly nodded first—this time, Pansy's persistence and adaptability did not disappoint him.
He was thinking about it, and then he heard Martin finally say:
"Parkinson, I have read in the "Daily Prophet" that Hogwarts will restart the study tour activities next, and it seems that the Federation will pass it soon. According to my speculation... During the event, magic The Ministry will definitely assign Aurors to escort, and that is the best time for us to do it!"
After expressing his judgment, Martin solemnly exhorted:
"So, remember not to participate in study tours, and try to find a reason that won't be suspected to spare time! Do you understand?"
Having said that, he no longer had any interest in talking to Pansy, and immediately urged him to drive him out of the room.
It is worth mentioning that before leaving Knockturn Alley with Pansy, Maca paid a little attention to the situation in the house. He found that Martin didn't stay long afterwards, but chose to go out through the back door very quickly.
It is conceivable that there is probably only one reason for the other party to arrive at the appointment late and leave in a hurry:
That guy was obviously very careful, and he never gave up on his wariness against Pan Xi from the beginning to the end, so much so that he even gave up on this stronghold that he spent a lot of effort on setting up.
Not long after, in Maca's room in Hogwarts Vice Castle.
"Miss Parkinson, although it's a pity, your study tour seems to have to be canceled in advance!"
Since the whole process of Pansy's meeting with Martin went smoothly this time, Maca did not find an opportunity to show up on the way back, but returned to her room first after following the other party into the school area.
Therefore, when Pansy came to knock on the door in a hurry, she found that Maca was already waiting for her inside—if she didn’t know that Maca had no reason to lie to herself, she would even think that Maca had never been overturned at all. lane.
After all, when she entered the room, she saw Maca leisurely making tea by the fireplace.
After being stunned for a moment, Panxi followed Maca's topic and said:
"Missing the study tour... I don't think it's a big deal.
It's just that I don't know how to tell my family that I need to ask for leave. I think you can understand, because of the incident of the Flint family, now every family will be more inclined to support your decision... Father will not agree to my request for leave! "
In front of the fireplace, Maca waggled her fingers to adjust the flame while listening to Pansy's words. After hearing her embarrassment, he quickly turned around and smiled.
"Since it's about me, isn't it easy?"
He spread his hands and said casually:
"Anyway, you told Martin before that I doubt you, so naturally I need to show some 'doubt you' - you can write to your family directly and say that I asked you to take the initiative I gave up the qualification to participate in the study tour, and I ask you to go to the Ministry of Magic to cooperate with Auror's interrogation and investigation of Iluli..."
Having said that, Maca shrugged slightly, and then concluded:
"In this way, not only can you have a legitimate reason not to participate in the study tour, but it can even provide a natural convenience for you and Martin to 'sneak' into the Ministry of Magic, isn't it?"
Panxi Zhengzheng held hands and listened carefully, suddenly felt warm in his hands, and looked down to find that Maca handed a cup full of tea to him.
"Drink this cup of tea and go back to the lounge! After a while, it's time for dinner..." Maca himself was also holding a teacup, and after he took a sip, he said slowly, " Presumably Martin will not come to you again in the next few days, so you can relax and take a good rest."
...
Of course, Martin would not come to Pansy again, because in the few days after that, the pure-blood families in England seemed to have made a deal, and suddenly there was a lot of action.
Although the possibility is very small, no one can guarantee that after overthrowing the Flint family, Maca will not take advantage of the excitement and smash the next family.
For this reason, all the families all took the name of assisting the Ministry of Magic to clean up the law and order of the British magic world, and wandered around the entire UK.
However, Haierbo's deterrence in their hearts is still not small, otherwise they might have openly supported Maca directly. So this so-called "purge operation" was actually just messing with each other. Just seeing those guys running around in a big way, in the end nothing was done.
Maca naturally knew the thoughts of those families very well, but to be honest, he didn't expect that group of people to do anything practical. It is enough to make a statement like this.
In the past few days, Maca has focused his energy on preparing for the meteorite crash. Even the study tour plan he personally proposed was handed over to Professor McGonagall to cooperate with several deans. .
To be honest, for those of them who know about the meteorite, the pressure is still quite high—even Hermione and Luna, who are in charge of arranging the rune pattern, seem to be quite elusive these days.
But of course, compared to their seriousness and busyness, the other little wizards at Hogwarts were in a completely different mood. Even the fifth and seventh graders, who are about to face exams, are excited at the thought of traveling the world with their classmates soon.
It's a pity that they never dreamed that Professor McGonagall had already planned in his heart to let them go with their textbooks and homework!
After dinner one day, in Hagrid's "Fantastic Animal Paradise".
It has to be said that since Harry occupied the Room of Requirement, the magical animal breeding space left by Maca to Hagrid has really come in handy.
During this period of time, this place not only became Hagrid's special classroom, but also gave Hermione and the others a relatively secret gathering place.
In recent days, Hermione and Luna have come here to carve runestones from time to time.
Oh, OK! The two of them usually came with the two "coolies" Ron and Neville. In order to make a suitable stone slab, the two of them undoubtedly took a lot of thought.
After all, in order to prevent the remaining magic power from interfering with the runes, the stone slabs used for engraving cannot be made directly through transfiguration.
so……
"Neville, Ron, the trial slabs are really good. They are flat and easy to carve... But I'm worried that they might not be able to withstand a violent shock..."
Among the guardian trees transplanted by Hagrid, Hermione was examining some flagstones while talking to the two boys standing nearby.
On the other end, Hagrid would come in from outside the door with a large stack of stone slabs in his arms from time to time, and move them to this open space.
After hearing Hermione's evaluation, Ron hurriedly asked:
"Then... can't these be used?"
"Oh, no! I think it's okay!" Hermione immediately shook her head, "Stones that are too strong are inconvenient to carve, and... I'm just a little worried that they won't be durable, so it won't be a problem if you only use it once or twice. .”
"That would be great!" Ron breathed a sigh of relief, "You know, Neville and I are not very good at dealing with Muggles, it took us a lot of effort to order these slates. !"
Yes, as Ron said, they went to the Muggle world to order these slates.
Previously, in order to polish a suitable stone slab, they could only rely on their own hands, and they were almost too tired to straighten their waists every day. And if it weren't for the help of Hagrid, a giant half-breed with amazing strength, it might not even be able to keep up with Hermione and Luna's daily consumption.
Therefore, in order to prevent themselves from being unsteady with their quills, they finally came up with this method which is not only more labor-saving, but also more efficient when they are doing Muggle studies homework.
When Ron was talking about a few jokes he made when communicating with Muggles, Hagrid, who walked to them with a stack of slates, suddenly said:
"Okay, these are the last ones! I don't understand magic literature, but... is it really necessary to use such a large stone slab?"
Because Ron and the others were grinding stone slabs of this size during this time, they ordered the same size. But obviously, the two of them would not understand the difference in the size of the stone slabs.
Seeing Hagrid's question, the two also turned their heads to look in the direction of Hermione and Luna.
"Oh, it doesn't really have to be this big," Hermione shook her head, but then said, "However, if it's bigger, it's easier to grasp the details of the runes. It's slower, but the success rate will be lower." Much higher."
"And it's more stable to use."
Luna, who was squatting aside and looking at the slate, heard the sound and added.
"yes?"
Hagrid tilted his head and looked at the finished rune slab not far away, nodded thoughtfully and said:
"Well, I'm actually quite curious about magic literature... I'm not bragging, I've always been good at carving things, and I think this might be quite suitable for me!"
"Are you interested too?" Hermione said happily immediately, "I'll bring you my textbook tomorrow, and you can try to learn it too—the textbook written by Maca is very interesting, you will definitely like it!"
"...That's not necessarily true," Ron couldn't help muttering in a low voice, "Anyway, I couldn't tell which runes were which, so I didn't take this course at the beginning...It's easy to fall asleep after reading it for a long time .”
"Don't affect Hagrid's enthusiasm!"
Hermione stared at him habitually at that time, causing Ron to look away quickly, and Neville couldn't help snickering when he saw this.
"Okay! You two go back, Luna and I are going to start working... Time is running out, we have to finish before the event starts."
After finishing speaking, Hermione immediately threw them both out.
