Chapter 344 The Crack on the Heart Wall

( ) "boom!"

The door of Black's old house was pushed open violently by a force, and hit the wall heavily.

"Ah——Which bastard has arrived? This is the house of our Black family, do you want to tear it down..."

Sirius' mother cried out again.

Of course Lu Ping, who was discussing the recent cases in the reception room, also heard it. They all left their seats with doubts and ran into the hall.

"Maka? You... What's the matter with you? Are you okay..."

When she saw Maca walking unsteadily inside, Mrs. Weasley hurried up to meet her, and reached out to hold Maca's arm.

"Well...it's okay, don't worry about me."

Maca gently pushed Mrs. Weasley away with his weak hand, and then stretched out his hand again. Two stiff human figures suddenly appeared from behind him and fell to the hall floor.

"Lupine, hurry up and interrogate...they are the wizards who are responsible for distributing that potion..."

"This...hey! Did you..." Lupine didn't move, he just stared at Maca's drooping face seriously, "Did you drink that potion yourself?"

"It's so annoying... Stop talking nonsense, and take it to interrogation quickly."

Maca shook his head, trying to make himself more awake, but because of another wave of vision, he almost fell down. Mrs. Weasley hurriedly supported him again.

"Answer me!" Lupine still didn't move, but his stubble-covered face became more determined, "Did you drink that potion yourself? Is it true that only those who have drunk it can find the right place?"

"Ah... yes, that's right... that's it." Maka couldn't help him, so she could only reply irritably.

"Why not let someone else do it? Or, just find a victim..." Feeling a little inappropriate, Lupine paused, but continued, "Otherwise, it's okay to let Kingsley lead the way, right? Is it? If I were him, I would definitely be willing to do it!"

"Impossible..." Maca slowly closed her eyes, and said dryly, "I have to do this myself... Otherwise..."

"What's going on? Maca, why are you doing this?" Mrs. Weasley asked excitedly.

"For what...?" Maca said dreamily,

"For what? Probably... I think that this matter is also my responsibility..."

"Responsibility?" Of course Lupine couldn't understand, and the answer was not enough for him to accept, "No matter what it is for, even if it is for everyone, you shouldn't do it!"

"You know, for the current Order of the Phoenix, you—Maka McClain, are very important! You shouldn't be so reckless!"

Having said that, Lupin paused.

"I said, this doesn't look like you at all?"

Upon hearing this, Maca shook her head lightly, her expression seemed a little lonely.

"Ah, do you know?" He said leisurely, "The Sorting Hat is really powerful! It can see through the essence of a person at once..."

"What?" Lupine subconsciously cast him a puzzled look.

"I mean, I don't have the courage of Gryffindor." Maca chuckled, "Well...Actually, I'm very scared! I'm afraid of losing important people, and I want to hide and cry secretly; I'm so scared... I don't want to make any friends."

"Only in that way can I be a good 'Maka McClain' and face the world rationally."

"However, since entering Hogwarts, I have had people worthy of respect and friends worthy of association... I also have a girl I really like..."

"So, I, a coward, am getting more and more afraid."

Hearing such words from Maca, everyone present had the feeling of knowing him for the first time.

To be honest, in the past, the impression Maca gave people around was nothing more than some "magic genius", "more like an adult than an adult", or even "Dumbledore's heir"... and so on.

But that was just a series of affirmations of his abilities.

As for "Maka McClain" himself, most of them don't have any more accurate understanding.

It was only when they heard him confide in his heart for the first time that everyone really felt that no matter how powerful and talented he was, he was actually just an ordinary person with troubles, weaknesses, and even some fears.

"Haha..." Lupine laughed abruptly. "Hey, I said...is that the Lovegood girl?"

"what?"

Maca, who was leaning on Mrs. Weasley, raised his head with difficulty.

"I mean, is the girl you really like, that little Lovegood girl?" Lupine repeated, smiling.

"Hmm..." Maca waved his hands, "Yes! Everyone should know about this, right?"

"That girl is nice, very cute," Mrs. Weasley joked.

"Oh, I feel the same way—" Lupine's face suddenly changed in the middle of speaking, "Hey! You are so reckless this time, could it be that she was involved in this case?"

"No, no, no." Maca said weakly, "It's not Luna, it's a friend of mine—my most important friend!"

"That is……"

"Lupine, don't ask...you quickly take them down for interrogation, I'm going to deal with it...you know."

Maca firmly interrupted Lupine's questioning, and then waved to Leni and Lena who were standing aside.

"Mrs. Weasley, can you help deliver a secret letter to Professor Snape? Thank you." He said, "I'm fine here, just let the two of them help me up."

"Mr. McLean, please be careful."

The two sisters, Lainilena, one on the left and the other on the right, supported Maca to the study.

Along the way, Lena was the same as before; but Leni, who has always been chattering non-stop, was also silent, which was a bit abnormal.

"Lenny, what's wrong?"

After Maca sat down on the sofa, he asked the little girl.

"Oh...it's nothing, bastard Maca..." Leni looked away unnaturally, "That...are you okay?"

"It's rare that you can care about me," Maca smiled, "It's okay, that's fine, you guys go out first!"

"that……"

"It's okay." Maca patted her on the head and repeated it seriously.

"Ok……"

After that, Leni took her sister's hand and left the study in a dragging manner.

When the door was gently closed by Lena, Maca immediately took a deep breath, then turned out a stack of records and spread them out on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

"Is it a hallucinogenic potion..." He pondered while flipping through the information, "No, it's not so much a potion, it's more about exerting the effect of the 'Riddle Crystal Flower' as efficiently as possible. "

"Judging from the detected formula, this intention is obvious... Moreover, some plausible places are also like mistakes made by students."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help showing a smile.

"This guy, Willie, is really not good at Potions..."

But at this moment, he suddenly let out a light snort.

"Hmm... Moonstone powder, which was originally used to regulate emotions and keep people calm, actually makes the ingredients of Mystery Crystal Flower more adherent... Is it a coincidence that happened because of a mistake? Willie is a blind cat Met a dead mouse?"

He was analyzing the potion alone in his study, trying to find an antidote that could eliminate the potion's potency.

Although he relied on his tenacious spirit and strong willpower to force himself to stay awake, this state would not last long after all.

And once you really sink into the hallucination, it will be difficult to wake up again.

Thirty minutes later, the door of the study suddenly opened, and Snape walked in with big strides as usual.

"Are you a Flobber caterpillar? To drink that stuff by yourself—" He scowled sullenly, cursing unceremoniously, "No, Flobber caterpillars are better than you, at least they eat and sleep "You kid, you don't even dare to sleep now, do you?"

The quill in Maca's hand paused, then raised his head with difficulty.

"Don't say that, the Flobber caterpillar is very great..." He smiled weakly.

"There is still strength to talk nonsense, it seems that at least I can hold on for a while..."

Snape slid the piles of papers on the sofa to the floor, then sat down, snatched the stack of papers in front of Maca, and flipped through them hastily.

After a while, I saw him shake the paper in his hand, and his face obviously became worse.

"What are these things? Can this be called a 'potion'? Is the guy who made this formula looking down on potion science?" He said angrily, "If this is a student in my potion class, zero Minute!"

"Oh, it's not easy. I think I've worked hard..." Maka leaned on the sofa and waved her hands softly.

He didn't want to tell Snape that the maker of this potion was probably a student in his class!

"This potion has such an effect, it's basically all thanks to the Mystery Crystal Flower, isn't it?" Snape threw the information in his hand in front of Maca, "As for the antidote, your thinking should be fine... ..."

As he spoke, he tore out a new piece of manuscript paper, and picked up a quill pen to write and draw.

"I'm in charge of the chain reaction and the calculation of the anti-magic formula, you continue to do your pharmacological deduction... Hurry up and move! You boy, time is running out, right?"

"It sounds like I'm going to die soon, the flag () can't stand up randomly..."

Maca muttered lazily, took another breath, then bent down and continued writing.

Immediately, the study became quiet again, only the rustling sound of the quill tip rubbing against the paper, and Maca's heavy breathing.

Outside the window, the darkness became thicker and thicker. It was a night without moon and stars.
