Chapter 490 The Tenderness of Moths to the Flame

A genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! "Harry, Professor Snape said that he is going to find your mother."

Hermione's words not only surprised Harry and Ron, but even Maca, who was about to rush over to stop Snape and ask him to understand, stopped running.

"What... what do you mean?"

Of course Harry, who knew nothing about Snape's past, would ask this question. But Maca was already well aware of those stupid things. He only heard Hermione say this, and he immediately understood the true meaning behind Snape's seemingly inexplicable actions.

If you only look at the surface, then there is actually only a simple sentence - Snape has taken refuge in Grinwald!

Once the cause and effect are known, it is much easier to deduce the intermediate process. Obviously, Snape really wanted to take Hermione hostage. If Grinwald missed Maca, Hermione in his hand would become a powerful weapon against Maca.

It's a pity that the mysterious floor-to-ceiling round mirror is too powerful. After all, Snape and Greenwald overestimated Maca's magical power, so that this last plan became a useless plan.

Thinking of this, the complexity in Maca's heart is simply indescribable.

He didn't know whether Grinwald had come up with all these scheming schemes alone, or if Grinwald and Snape had come up with them together, but it didn't matter now. The important thing is that these conspiracies are completely aimed at him alone.

Greenwald and Snape acted separately, because they saw that he was incapable of doing both. No matter which side succeeded, the outcome would be the same.

Maca was in a daze, and Snape had stepped into the circle of influence of the mirror. But seeing that his whole body was shaken, a ray of soul flew out of his body and flew straight towards the mirror.

Maca could even vaguely see that the translucent phantom that was exactly the same as Snape was opening its arms, and it flew across the air in an instant, and plunged into the hazy mirror with great eagerness.

Although he couldn't see the other person's expression, Maca felt that it was probably wearing the purest smile.

"On the other side of that mirror, is it really possible to find a dead person?"

Maca thought for a while, then smiled wryly and shook his head.

Even if Greenwald was not mistaken and the mirror was indeed leading to where Dumbledore was, Snape would never have found Harry's mother in that white world. Judging from what Dumbledore said at the time, the dead will not be sent there, it is not the place where the living and the dead should go.

There is the so-called "edge of hell", the closest place to death.

If you want to take Dumbledore's words, it is a transitional place where "there is still a long way to go before the real 'death'".

Maybe Dumbledore could find what he wanted there, but if Snape went, it would probably be worse than dying. No, not just Snape, even Greenwald might be the same.

Maca didn't know how Dumbledore got there, but he could still understand that even if this mirror could lead there, it would never be the right path.

However, he also knew that he couldn't stop Snape.

Snape's love for Harry's mother, Lily, is probably one of the most stubborn loves in the world. That love has gone deep to the extreme, a love that cannot be stopped by anyone or anything.

For this love, Snape could desperately protect the Harry that he hated so much, because although Harry looked like his father James from inside to outside, his blue eyes Same as Lily.

In a world without Maca, Snape could give up everything for Lily and die silently; and in this world with Maca, he would still do so.

Snape was never a fool, he certainly wouldn't fully believe Grinwald's words, but even if there was only a sliver of hope, he would throw himself into the mirror like a moth to a flame,

Just for that one ten thousandth hope.

In the distance, Snape's body fell into the snow, the remaining body temperature melted the icy snowflakes and soaked his clothes. That kind of scene seems to tell the whole world that this man with a gloomy face from beginning to end, his chest is also hot.

Maca stared blankly at the figure lying on the snowy ground, and watched the flying snow slowly cover him up, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

Snape was also his teacher and friend. Although it was obvious that the other party betrayed him this time, it was really hard for him to be angry with this man. He was just thinking, if he changed himself, would he do the same?

This answer was not difficult to come up with, but it made him smile bitterly for a while.

Before they knew it, Hermione, Harry and Ron had already left. What they said after that, although Maca listened to it for the time being, she didn't care too much. Because about their stories, you already know almost everything you need to know.

Right now, there are naturally still many doubts in his heart, but there is only one that is always lingering in his mind.

"Professor Snape," Maca asked softly in his heart, "can you tell me why it was Hermione you held hostage instead of Luna?"

Snape, who was very close to Maca and had frequent contact with him, knew that the person in Maca's heart was the Lovegood girl. But even if he knew, in the end he chose Hermione, which made Maca's chest tighten.

Yes, if Hermione was used to threaten and force him, he would still submit obediently, but this was just Maca's way of thinking. If Snape were to stand in Maca's position, Hermione's weight would definitely be far less than Luna's.

That being the case, why did Snape choose to hold Hermione hostage? This is really intriguing.

Just like Snape knew Maca quite well, Maca already knew Snape quite well. But this kind of thing, the more you understand, the more painful and helpless you will feel.

In Maca's silence, the remaining time flew by like running water. Not long after, when he suddenly found that the clock-like ticking sound in his ears disappeared, he knew that his short time and space journey had come to an end.

There was no time for him to delay any longer. The moment after the ticking sound stopped, he quickly took out the time converter and flicked the hourglass in the golden ring again.

As the strange scene like last time repeated itself, the day returned to night again, and the blizzard slowed down again, but Hogwarts was also heading towards the crisis that completely destroyed it.

Maca, who had been moved to another snow field, immediately determined his position, and consciously moved himself further away from the position where he appeared last time.

This time, instead of sweeping away the snow on the ground, he randomly chose a tree trunk and leaned against it, closing his eyes slightly and meditating secretly.

In fact, he had roughly sketched out the first step of the plan to save Hogwarts in his mind, and now he had to seize the time to reorganize his thoughts before starting his action immediately.

Not long after, Macafu opened his eyes again, and after a random glance towards the distance, he disappeared on the spot with a burst of space distortion.

On the small hill in front of him on the right, he was still hesitating when he went back in time for the first time, and was unable to move an inch under the shackles of the rules of time.

...

Four forty-two in the morning, Granger's.

Hermione was sitting pale on her bed, looking silently at the man sitting at her desk. She didn't know why this man came into her bedroom in the middle of the night, let alone what this man was going to do.

It's not that she hasn't asked, in fact, she has asked several times just now.

But except for the fact that the other party told her to shut up impatiently at the beginning, he just didn't bother to pay attention to her later. There was eerie silence in the bedroom right now, but she didn't know what to say anymore.

Her academic performance has always been at the forefront of Hogwarts, she can guess that the surrounding walls, doors and windows must have been cast with silence spells. But even without the spell, she wouldn't choose to call for help, because the only people living around were Muggles.

But at this moment, another unexpected guest ushered in outside the bedroom window.

The person who came was of course Maca. At this moment, he was stepping on the magic book and stopped firmly on the side of the window. He could clearly sense the spells in the room. In addition to the Silencer spell, there were other early-warning protection spells.

But did he come here just to eavesdrop while blowing the cool breeze outside the window?

of course not!

Although the last trip back in time was not what he wanted, he was still forced to take action. And the act of blocking Voldemort's soul back into his body made him understand the rules of timeline convergence.

So, since no matter what he did, he couldn't change the established fact—if he took the initiative, would it be the same?

This time he came here in a hurry just to test it out.

The exploration of magic is always inseparable from deduction and experimentation, even the study of the rules of the world is the same. Being afraid of the shackles of the time rules is an expression of caution, but Maca also knows in his heart that if he wants to really understand, being cautious alone will never succeed.

At times like these, bold assumptions and real steps forward are equally essential.

Before at Hogwarts, he knew the first half of the action process; but now at Hermione's house, most of the interactions between words and deeds are unknown.

Here, he can let go of his actions and see to what extent the influence of the constriction rule has been affected.

These thoughts flashed through Maca's mind like lightning, he didn't hesitate any longer, and suddenly sank down, opening the door of Granger's house silently.

He really wanted to know what kind of changes would happen if he stepped into the unknown reality. Mobile phone users please browse and read for a better reading experience.
