Chapter 492: Paradox and Deceit

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! When Maca saw Snape's wand suddenly light up, he thought of a scene where a spell was shot at him , I also thought of the scene where the spell was shot at Hermione.

He thought that the spell might be control magic, and he also thought that it might be interference magic, and he was even ready to break the killing spell once.

But he never expected that Snape's spell would be a universal counter-curse.

The so-called universal counter-spell is a counter-spell that has wide applicability but can only end part of the curse effect. If a wizard doesn't know how to break a common spell, he will try it with this spell.

Now Snape was using this spell, and it was Hermione's magic rope and the Silencing Curse that he had lifted. Because of this, Maca, who reacted quickly, hesitated for a moment.

At this moment, the seasoned Snape firmly grasped it in his hand. He didn't try to attack Hermione or Maca, but made another move that Maca didn't expect.

Following a burst of space distortion, Snape decisively disappeared in front of the two without the slightest hesitation.

Although Snape may be very clear about the extent of Maca's magical strength, but he is not going to leave immediately. The meaning behind his Apparating Curse made Maca unable to help being silent for a while.

Obviously, Snape didn't want to fight him. For Snape, holding Hermione hostage was probably the last bottom line in his heart. Facing this student who satisfied even his picky self, he couldn't wave his magic wand at all.

To say that in the current world, there is probably only Maca who can make Snape do this.

"... Maca?" Hermione climbed out of bed, rubbing her wrists and said softly, "Thank you for coming to save me...how did you know?"

When Maca heard the voice, she put away the complicated emotions lingering in her heart, and smiled slightly at Hermione.

"It's more complicated to say," he said casually, "but, in fact, even if I don't come, you will be fine..."

"How come! You don't know, when Snape suddenly appeared in front of me, I was taken aback! Seeing his cold face, I thought he was going to kill me!" said these words Hermione looked terrified at the time, and it seemed that she was really terrified.

"Anyway, there's no—"

Maka hadn't finished her sentence when suddenly her expression changed and her heart jumped even more.

"What's wrong?" Hermione asked strangely.

"No, um... let me think about it..." Maca shook his head and said, "Let me think about it."

After all, he sat down directly on the edge of Hermione's bed, propped his chin and fell into deep thought. Seeing that he was fine just now, but now he suddenly put on a solemn expression, Hermione immediately didn't dare to disturb him anymore.

Maca groaned silently, frowning tightly, as if he had encountered some huge problem; while Hermione was also sitting on the side of her bed, looking at Maca beside her, her cheeks Slightly flushed.

How could she have imagined that Maca would sit on her bed and share a room with her that day. Although there was nothing charming about it, it also made Hermione blush and heartbeat for a while.

Leaving aside the fact that Hermione's side was full of fantasies and full of girlish feelings, Maca's side actually ran into a big problem.

According to his original speculation, his meeting with Snape this time should not change the facts he saw last time. This is inferred from the so-called "rules of closure".

He thought there was nothing wrong with this rule, because he had proved it with his own actions. If there is no constriction in the time rules, what is the last time Voldemort's soul left the body early? What is the situation where he is forced to make a move?

But now,

Snape and Hermione had indeed separated, and what he had seen would never happen again. Maybe, Snape would come back later? Then Maca handed Hermione to Snape honestly?

Such a ridiculous thing, no matter how you think about it, is impossible.

So, what does this represent?

"paradox!"

Maca secretly chewed this strange but familiar word, but a chill could not help but rise behind his back.

He will come to Hermione's house this time precisely because he heard some truths during the last trip back in time. But if it continues like this, the last self will not be able to learn this clue.

And if he didn't get any clues, would he still come to Hermione's house?

No one can tell him what the consequences will be if a paradox is triggered during the time travel. He only knew that there were several wizards who disappeared completely because of abusing time-space converters in history.

Knowing that there will be great risks, he can no longer look at this matter from the perspective of a researcher. Because he understands that this is a life gamble, and there is a high probability that he will be defeated.

Obviously, in the face of the rules of time, his strength is still very small. If you still bite the bullet and persist in this situation, then you are not confident but mentally retarded.

"The Sorting Hat can see clearly! I'm really a Hufflepuff through and through..." Maca sighed, then turned to look at the girl next to her, "Hermione, I need you to do me a favor .”

"Ah - oh - of course," Hermione came back to her senses immediately, subconsciously responded, and then asked blankly, "What, what's the matter?"

"...Accompany me to be a liar!"

Maca was talking and laughing, and the expression on his face was quite weird, like a wry smile but mixed with some other emotions, which made Hermione even more confused.

...

The backtracking time was originally only five hours, and it didn't take long for the sky to dawn. And just as the blizzard became more violent again, a momentary space distortion suddenly appeared in a snow field near Hogwarts. The next moment, a pair of familiar figures appeared out of thin air.

The pair of figures just stood there without saying a word, with their heads raised slightly, staring quietly at Hogwarts Castle not far away.

That was Snape and Hermione - or rather, Maca and Hermione turned into Snape.

Speaking of which, Maca has deceived quite a few people in his life, but this time the one he wants to deceive is himself.

As a little liar who used to cheat people for a living, Maca knew very well in his heart that sometimes, he was the hardest person to deceive, because it was the stupidest behavior to deceive himself; But it is also the best target to deceive, because the person who knows oneself best is often herself.

Not to mention, today's unheard of scam still has a script that is sure to succeed.

"Can't you see it?" Maca looked up at the front, and secretly said in his heart, "That's right, at this point in time, that long river of souls is almost at an end."

Although you can't see the meandering river of soul, and here you can see yourself standing on the snow slope in front, the self who has not experienced time going back.

Not too long has passed since witnessing all of this, and Maca knows exactly what to do next. When the man left with the Portkey, it was time for him and Hermione to start acting.

At this moment, he was waiting quietly, and so was Hermione beside him.

Maca had told Hermione the whole process beforehand, and in order to ensure that there would be no mistakes, he also specially corrected the lines according to the script. With Hermione's cleverness, the chances of screwing up were pretty slim.

Besides, the leading role this time is still himself, and most of the time, Hermione just needs to memorize the lines.

Soon, as the Portkey was activated, that self disappeared into the distorted space. And it was at this moment that Maca took the lead and walked forward slowly.

Hermione, who was beside him, saw it and immediately followed him.

In the past, in this world where Maca exists, Buckbeak was saved by Maca, and Sirius and Harry were not besieged by dementors. However, the event where Hermione applied for a Time-Turner to aid in her studies did happen.

For Hermione, it is not difficult to understand what Maca revealed to her before.

Of course, in order not to affect Hermione's emotions, Maca didn't tell her about the disaster that was about to happen at Hogwarts.

Right now, when Hermione looked at the "Maca from the past", she still had some doubts in her heart—why did the Maca look so weird back then?

During the moment when the two thoughtfully walked forward without saying a word, they left two clear footprints behind them. And these two series of footprints gradually disappeared in the wanton wind and snow.

At this moment, a sudden crackling sound resounded through the entire mountain area, and at the same time brought a signal for Maca's next move.

When Maca took Hermione over the snow slope in front of him, Dang even saw Harry and Ron without any surprise.

"stop!"

Although she didn't know the specific reason from Maca, Hermione knew that the person Maca wanted her to deceive appeared.

That's right, since Hermione couldn't tell the whole truth, Maca changed some parts of the plan. Hermione didn't know at this moment that the person she was really trying to deceive was that other Maca standing somewhere far behind!

It was a convoluted deception, from start to finish.

"Don't go any further," Maca said coldly, imitating Snape's annoying tone, "if...you don't want to die yet."

He didn't hear this at the time, but he knew that now was the time to call Harry and Ron to a halt. As for what kind of words Snape would use to stop others, isn't it simple?
