Chapter 230
In the second event of the Triwizard Tournament, Maca won the undisputed first place.
When the scores of the four warriors were announced one by one, everyone had a "should be so" expression, but Maka, the person involved, didn't put his mind on it at all.
Seeing that everyone was calm, Bagman shrugged boringly, and then continued with what he had just said.
"...Then finally, of course it is the content of this third project!" He revived his inner passion and waved his arms exaggeratedly, "First of all, this newly dug vertical hole is 100 feet in diameter, and the deepest part is more Will be 5,000 feet underground! When this is all done, it will be divided into a full 500 floors!"
"What's even more astonishing is that these 500 floors will be connected in disorder with the temporary flyway network constructed by Principal Dumbledore himself, forming an unprecedented underground tower!"
"And what the warriors have to do is to randomly teleport to one of the floors through the entrances placed on the ground at that time, and find the entrance to the correct floor to obtain the mysterious magic item that will be used as this Tri-Strong Cup!"
"In each floor, there is a completely different kind of obstacle. But don't panic, it's all from the teachers and students of the three schools... that is, all kinds of puzzles thought up by our classmates and professors! Believe That's going to be very interesting..."
Under Bagman's extremely tense and passionate explanation, everyone has a general idea of the level they will face in a month.
"Do you have any questions?" Bagman asked, and seeing everyone shook their heads, he continued, "Very good... If you have no questions, let's go back to the castle, okay? How warm, it's really cold here..."
On the way back, Harry couldn't help reaching out and patting Maca on the shoulder.
"Hey Maca," he said, "what were you thinking? You didn't seem to be listening?"
"Huh? No, it's nothing... just some research problems..." Maca replied casually.
With the rule rune guide table at the back of the "Book of Sin", he has made considerable progress in understanding rule runes. But the deeper the understanding, the more he understood how difficult it would be to make such a form.
As a Muggle put it, the more you know, the more you discover your ignorance.
Only now did he understand a little bit how much mystery was contained in the three-dimensional rune array floating around his "future self" that night.
As soon as he returned to Snape's office, he opened the cauldron to see how the potion was brewing, and then continued to sit in the corner and read "Book of Sin".
Voldemort has returned recently, and today, Snape needs to go over temporarily to report on the situation. Including Dumbledore's affairs, including the process of the Triwizard Tournament, and of course including his-Maka McLean's related situation.
Barty Crouch Jr. was expelled from Hogwarts by Maca, and now within the school grounds, only Snape could pass on "reliable" information to him.
Until the evening, Snape finally returned to the office.
"McLean, get ready, Voldemort is going to meet you tonight." Snape said to Maca with his dead fish eyes still open.
"Is he going to settle accounts with me?" Maca looked up from the book and smiled.
"Maybe..." Snape sat down on the armchair, and said impatiently, "His current situation is a bit strange... I can't tell, but it's not the same as the previous Dark Lord."
Maca nodded and said: "As long as he doesn't dare to take the initiative, it means that his situation is not good...well, let's go meet him tonight and see what he plans to do when he comes back this time Big move."
"...Are you sure? I think..."
Snape thought for a while, and was about to ask Maca what preparations he had, when he heard a hasty knock on the office door.
"Is it her again?" Snape said irritably. "McLean, can you tell her not to keep running around here? When you're not around, she's rummaging through my potion cabinet, really..."
"Uh... I'll think of a way..."
Maca waved his hand helplessly, then stretched out his wand and pointed to the door of the office, and the door opened in response.
"McLean! Leni is hungry! Come let Leni have a bite!"
That's right, a bear kid came to Hogwarts recently... no, it's a wolf kid!
Under the arrangement of Dumbledore, Leni and Lena were successfully incorporated into Hogwarts and became two young wizards with werewolf blood.
Of course, their parentage is still a secret.
The person responsible for taking care of them is naturally Maca, the instigator. Although Maca himself is not very happy, Dumbledore has a lot to say.
"Since you let them have nowhere to go, you have to take responsibility, don't you?"
You are so right!
Maca, who originally planned to let Dumbledore, who was overflowing with love, carry the two small pots, reaped the consequences for himself, but in the end he took over this troublesome matter.
But who knows, sister Lena is easy to deal with, she is sensible and obedient, and never runs around. But the younger sister, who was only a few years younger than her elder sister, seemed to be turning over the entire Hogwarts castle, running around every two or three days.
Maca thought that she had made Leni a little scared already! The results of it? It's not like you dare to go all over the world to make trouble for you if you don't fight for three days...
"Little ancestor, what are you doing here? Won't you go to the kitchen to feed yourself when you're hungry?" Maca said weakly.
"The house elf is too skinny! Skinny, no one can eat it!" Lainie said loudly, tugging on Maca's arm, pouted.
"Still thinking about cannibalism?" Maca patted her on the head, and said angrily, "I'll go to the kitchen with me later, what can I eat, do you hear me?"
"I don't want it!" Leni stared awkwardly at her big watery eyes.
Ma Kaxu looked at her, and suddenly stretched out his hand, and a spider crawled out of his sleeve.
"Make trouble again? It will eat you next meal!"
After that night, the little girl quickly returned to her usual fearless appearance, but now she is most afraid of spiders.
Seeing the little acromantula crawling around on Maca's hand, Leni immediately shrank her head and dared not say a word.
"It's good to know that you're afraid, obediently go outside and wait." Maca waved his hand.
When Leni ran out to the corridor with her head down, he turned around and sighed softly.
"...Looks like I can keep some spiders in my office." Snape said angrily.
"That's a good idea..." Maca echoed, "To be honest, I feel like I have an extra child who is mischievous all over the place these days... Sigh, being a father is not easy!"
Snape glanced at him and replied coldly, "Congratulations."
It was only then that Maca came to his senses—oh, he groaned casually along with himself, and accidentally poked Snape in the sore spot!
"After I have a child, how about you being his godfather, Professor?" Maca said with a smile.
Snape clicked his tongue in boredom, and sarcastically said without raising his eyelids, "Your child? With that little girl from the Lovegood family? Or with Miss Know-it-all? Oh, or are you going to put yourself Send it to Chateau Blois in France to seek the endless wealth of the owner of the castle?"
Maca was almost speechless by Snape's words, and could only roll her eyes in desperation.
"Professor, actually... among the other female professors at Hogwarts, there are some who are very suitable for you." Maca said quietly, picking up the cup of black tea that was placed beside her.
"Huh?" Snape looked at him blankly and said, "What, are you going to introduce me to your Professor McGonagall?"
"puff……"
The sip of black tea that had just been poured into his mouth sprayed towards Snape's head and face, but was blocked by the opponent's wave of his wand in time.
"Professor..." Maca wiped her mouth, took a deep breath and said, "I suddenly feel that it really makes sense for you to have no friends..."
"Hmph!" Snape said nonchalantly, "It was because Potter couldn't talk to me back then—"
Having said that, he immediately realized what he was talking about, subconsciously stopped talking, and then his face became gloomy.
"You should go, McLean... Wait for me at the Pig's Head Pub in Hogsmeade at nine o'clock in the evening."
After that, Snape waved his hands coldly, signaling Maca to leave here quickly.
Maca shrugged, shook his head slightly, turned around and walked towards the door. But when he walked to the door and was about to close the door, he poked his probe inside.
"Professor, I will only love one girl for my whole life, and that is Miss Lovegood." He said seriously, "And you are my teacher and my friend... If you want to find a godfather for my child, I believe that only you are the most qualified."
After finishing speaking, the door of the office closed quietly, leaving Snape staring blankly at the closed door, wondering what he was thinking.
In the corridor, Leni giggled as if she heard something funny.
"Love forever? Just you? Hahaha..." She laughed, "Quickly, take me to see your girlfriend... Hahahaha..."
"What are you laughing laughing."
Maca pointed at her head again, and then she couldn't help chuckling.
He didn't know why he would say that to Snape. Although he knew that being friends with Snape was beneficial and harmless, it was not enough for him to say such words.
Maca is also a human being, and now that she has regained her emotions, she is even more human. And he, sometimes because of impulsiveness, will do some behaviors that he himself can't understand.
"...Maybe, Snape and I are really similar in character," he muttered to himself as the smile on his face gradually became heavier, "Well, it's like a...me who lost everything? "
