Chapter 315 Abnormal Case Report

( ) "... Maca and Dumbledore told us through their actions that we don't have to be afraid of Professor Umbridge, but we can't choose to confront her. The update is the fastest"

Hermione's words came to Maca from Luna's mouth.

To be honest, Maca recognized Hermione's sensitivity very much. If Hermione still chooses to join the Ministry of Magic in the future to contribute to the reform of the magic world, at least she won't be held back by some judgments on the situation.

The current situation is just as Hermione judged.

The battle between the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters is still going on, but because of Maca's repeated schemes, this struggle has already turned into the dark. The offensive and defensive situation that had been expanded by Voldemort to the entire British magic world was now finally confined to the "central area" of the Ministry of Magic.

The key point is that Voldemort, who was pushed again and again by Maca's campaign plan, not only lost people, but also lost "momentum". He wanted to dominate the British wizarding world, and without these two things, he would definitely not be able to do so.

That's why he gave up the previous "National Panic Operation", and instead set his target on the Ministry of Magic, the center of power, trying to make a final decision from the perspective of rights.

Leaving aside the disadvantages of doing so, at least the advantages are indispensable. After all, neither Maca nor Dumbledore can blatantly wipe everything away with a magic wand.

"Luna, you don't have to worry about these messy things, just study at ease and do what you like to do. When these troublesome things are over, I will go to Sweden with you to find the horned snoring beast! "

Maca sat behind the desk and gave her a relaxed smile.

Hearing what Maca said, although Luna seemed a little moved, she didn't nod immediately.

"... Maca...they seem to have a really good relationship."

Looking at the girl in front of her who was in a trance all day, as if she didn't care about anything, Maca really didn't want her to be involved in such a dangerous dispute.

But what she said now made Maca startled.

Luna is a kind girl with a clear mind. Perhaps it is because of her pure mind that she often knows people's hearts inadvertently.

Maca's protection for her, she must be aware of it, this is not a very secret thing, and this kind of protection is out of Maca's care.

Luna can feel,

It was as if a kind of warmth surrounded her and made her feel very comfortable.

But it is precisely because of this kind of protection that Maca almost ignores her true feelings: this girl who has been incompatible with others since she was a child and has always been wandering on the edge of loneliness is actually the one who yearns for friendship the most.

She was envious of the innocent friendship among the cubs, but because of the warmth Maca brought her, she subconsciously didn't want to go against Maca's wishes.

"...Let me think about it!"

Maca's words sounded endless, but the communication between him and Luna has always been like this, so it's not surprising.

Luna blinked her eyes lightly, not knowing whether she understood or not, but there seemed to be an innocent smile on her face.

...

On Maca's side, he was quite comfortable as a professor, but at Black's old house, he received a somewhat unusual report.

"...Do you think this case has something to do with Voldemort?"

In the reception room of Black's old house, Lupine frowned slightly as he looked at the report in his hand.

"You don't need to ask, it must be that he didn't run away!" Sirius said impatiently.

Because he was stuck in the house all the time, he felt that the dog hair on his body was about to get moldy, but he also knew that he really couldn't just run out casually, so he could only sulk.

"Kingsley said that the key issue is not whether it is related to Voldemort, but what kind of magic caused the symptoms shown by the wizard in this case." Tonks, who had just returned from the Ministry of Magic, said.

"Yeah!" Lupine thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "This is very different from what McLean said about the 'Black Death', but there are also some things in common. Both of them are confused. .”

"It's said that it's related to the soul, but I'm not sure if it's true." Tonks said casually, seeing that everyone else was looking in her direction, she waved her hand immediately, "Don't look at me , I just heard a few words from Maca."

Sirius clicked his tongue and sighed heavily.

"Since we can't judge, let's contact McLean as soon as possible!" Lupine pondered for a while, and then made a decisive decision, "Molly, please go and give McClain a password!"

"okay."

Mrs. Weasley responded, then turned around and walked upstairs quickly.

"Insane, in a daze for a long time, and then gradually fell into madness, and showed an extremely strong attack**... I hope this is just a case, otherwise..."

Following Lupine's words, the members in the reception room couldn't help showing serious expressions...

Not long after, Maca received a letter from an unknown sender. Looking at the symbol in the middle of the blank letter paper, he knew that he had to go back tonight.

Although he didn't know what happened, but since he was contacted, it meant that the Order of the Phoenix must have encountered a problem. It just seems that this problem is not very urgent, otherwise the coded letter sent should be in a red envelope.

That night, Maca hurried back to Black's old house.

"McLean, what do you think?"

In the eyes of everyone asking, Maca just shook his head slightly.

"It seems that it should be some kind of influence aimed at the soul. In this period, Voldemort obviously cannot escape the suspicion," he pondered for a while, and then continued, "However, this kind of thing can't be seen just by looking at the report. As for the specific situation... where is the victim? Where is it?"

"Uh... the victim?" Tonks hesitated. "Are you talking about the mad wizard, or the other two wizards who were killed by the mad wizard?"

"Of course it's the crazy one..." Maca shrugged.

"It should still be locked up in the dungeon of the Ministry of Magic!" Tonks said truthfully.

"Hmm..." Maca couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard the words, "Since you're in the dungeon, that means you can't visit as you please?"

"That's right! Scrimgeour's people are following this case now, and only Kingsley has contact with the case report on our side." Tonks nodded helplessly.

"Then he is working overtime because of this?"

"Kingsley? It's true that he's working overtime, but he's working overtime for the Order of the Phoenix, not the Ministry of Magic." Tonks spread his hands and said, "He can only get in touch with that case indirectly, and now he's going to The crime scene has been investigated on the spot, hoping to find some reliable clues."

"yes?"

As Maca said, he looked down at the report document in his hand, and handed it to Lupine casually.

"I'll go to Kingsley to have a look first. If it doesn't work, I can only rely on you to find a way to get close to that mad wizard." He said, "There was too much commotion in the Department of Mysteries before, and now I don't know much about it." It is suitable to go again.”

"If there is nothing to gain, I won't come back. I can't leave Hogwarts for the time being. You need to pay more attention to whether there are similar cases happening."

Speaking of this, he paused, and added: "If the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic find out before, find a way to bring the victim back, of course, the premise is to pay attention to safety!"

"Okay, I know what to do." Lupine nodded immediately.

As a result, Maca did not return to the Order of the Phoenix headquarters that night. Obviously, they found nothing special at the scene of the crime.

However, from Kingsley's mouth, he obtained some newly collected information.

Regarding the inexplicably mad wizard, his symptoms continued. Although there are occasional periods of a little calm, most of the time is still in a very unstable mental state.

The Ministry of Magic temporarily controlled it with magic, but the danger still exists.

It is worth mentioning that the "slightly calm" dazed time is still shortening continuously, and the time period of falling into madness is getting longer and longer.

If this continues, the wizard will go crazy sooner or later, and die of exhaustion after a long period of sleeplessness.

...

In the early morning of the next day, in the girls' dormitory in the Gryffindor Tower.

The weather is gradually cooling down recently, everyone has put on thin sweaters, and Hermione is of course no exception.

However, she had already gotten out of bed early this morning. Probably because the temperature was extremely low before dawn, she also put a blanket on her body.

While her roommate was still soundly asleep, Hermione was crouching at the desk in the bedroom alone, fiddling with something.

As if afraid of disturbing the sleep of the dormitory, the oil lamp on the desk only emitted a faint light, which slightly opened up the darkness before the sun rose.

As time passed bit by bit, a glimmer of the sun's rays finally appeared through the gaps in the curtains.

A flat beam of light quietly landed on the blanket on Hermione's shoulders and beside the desk, but Hermione, who was concentrating on the work at hand, didn't notice it very quickly.

When the darkness in the room was gradually dispelled by the rising sun, she finally turned her head and squinted her eyes to look at the window.

Under the sunlight, the curtains were outlined with a circle of golden light.

Hermione couldn't help stretching, and yawned deeply, then closed the square box on the desk again, then stood up and gently brushed open a corner of the curtain.

"Today is a good weather." On her face, there was a smile as vibrant as the morning sun. "Why don't you go to Maca to discuss it today? Anyway, it's almost ready!"

Just as she was talking, she turned her head and glanced at the box on the table again, with a slightly smug smile on her face.
