Chapter 512 End or Beginning?

coming!

Even if the distance is very far, it is still very easy to see if someone is present at a certain location when the mountains and plains are covered with snow.

Not long after, when the figure in the distance crossed another hillside and was about to step into the range that the ancient mirror could have affected, Maca, who was in invisibility, suddenly pulled back the staff.

The soul rule rune was dragged to the front of him at once, and then it was thrown directly in the direction of Hogwarts Castle. And he himself flew upside down along with him.

Immediately, the power covering the ancient mirror spread out in a blink of an eye, protecting the people in Hogwarts Castle again before the shock appeared.

In fact, this is the only point that is difficult to control with time, because he can't accurately estimate the timing when he stepped into that range. If there was anything wrong, the self who had pretended to be Snape would have immediately noticed something was wrong.

Therefore, he had to come out first and use his own eyes to judge where that point in time was.

However, using the soul rule on a large scale requires more mana consumption, and then it is necessary to maintain it until the self lying in the snow and pretending to be a corpse leaves. In order to avoid the deviation of the timing of use, it is necessary to be precise in both receiving and releasing.

When Maca saw a phantom that looked like Snape suddenly appearing in the distance, flying towards this side with open arms, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, he watched the figure fall heavily to the ground from a distance, and at this last moment, he finally entered the countdown stage.

This scene is actually rather strange, because in this short period of time, the three maca happened to stand in a straight line. The one farthest away stood on a high snow slope, while the one in the middle turned into Snape and fell in the snow, and the one beside the castle quietly maintained an invisible state.

Although these three are Maca herself, they each represent every stage of this incident.

From the one who discovered Snape's clue at the beginning, to the one who found out that Snape was indeed involved, and then to the one who learned the truth from Snape.

This Severus Snape didn't seem to be a main character from the beginning to the end, but the development clues of the whole incident were indispensable to him. Without his participation, Maca may still be trapped in the loop of time until now, and he still has no idea.

Thinking of this, Maca couldn't help turning his head and glanced around the ancient magic mirror. Both Greenwald and Voldemort fell into the snow, without any breath.

These two dark lords who were once all-powerful in their respective eras had no sense of existence at this last moment. One of them willingly threw himself into the ancient mirror, while the other was sent to another place by Maca.

Maybe they will all come back, but maybe they won't... In any case, it must be a long time before we can meet them again.

Not long after, when the figure in the snow in the distance got up and left, Maca immediately rushed to where the mysterious ancient magic mirror was. And the next moment, he waved his hand casually, and with a simple floating spell, he took the mirror and ran straight out of the school gate.

With a twist in the space, Maca disappeared together with the ancient mirror representing disaster.

...

For every wizard who has lived in the wizarding world for a long time, taking Muggle transportation is a very important thing. Pure-blood fanatics will be cranky, and other wizards will be very curious.

At this moment, Ron, Harry and Hermione were sitting in the carriage, and there was a large group of people gathered in other seats next to them.

Naturally, the twins of the Weasley family would not be absent at this time. In addition, many members of R.A. also came. But this time the leaders were several members of the Order of the Phoenix.

Right now, except for Harry and Hermione, who both looked helpless, most of the others looked excited. Even Lupine, who has always been more stable on weekdays, stretched his neck to look left and right,

He seemed to be comparing the clothes of other Muggles to his own, to see if he was wearing the right clothes.

"...Really, I mean it!" In the corner of the carriage, Neville was emphasizing again and again with his neck flushed, "I met that fellow Malfoy on the Knight Bus, and he also went to the funeral !"

"No, it's impossible, isn't it?" Fred raised his eyebrows and said, "The kid can go to the funeral? You might as well say that Flobber caterpillars will turn into butterflies!"

"A Flobberworm can only turn into a Malfoy, not a butterfly," added George, grinning.

"This has nothing to do with the Flobberworm!" Neville said angrily, "I actually met him!"

"Then he hasn't done anything with you yet?" Fred obviously didn't believe it at all.

"Neville, you probably fell asleep." George shrugged and joked, "Or you will meet him in the future, and you just had a dream with a prophecy?"

"Oh—could it be said that you have the blood of a prophet?" Fred nodded and said, "It's amazing! It's amazing!"

Teasing Neville has always been a regular activity in Gryffindor College, especially Fred and George, who like to make fun of him. It's just that others know what is enough is enough, but the two of them have never had that string in their heads.

Neville was obviously very angry with the two of them again, but he was never good at words, and he could hardly open his mouth when the two twins spoke together.

Fortunately, it didn't take long and finally arrived at the station.

In central London, everyone got off the bus, jostling behind the Muggles. Neville pursed his lips, and immediately shrank to Harry's side, leaving these little friends between him and the twin brother.

They all followed Lupine who led the way, boarded the escalator outside the subway station, and came outside the station.

To say that all of these people were dressed as Muggles, but apart from Harry and Hermione, Tonks probably looked more normal among them.

She was wearing a black jacket with a lapel and a pair of ripped jeans, and her bright purple hair made her look even more fashionable.

However, the other big and small wizards looked very strange. Some are jackets worn under shirts, some are old-fashioned suits with basketball shoes, and some even wear nightgowns as outerwear. For Muggle's dressing habits, wizards obviously still have a considerable lack of understanding.

At this time, Neville suddenly left Harry's side again, and rushed a few steps towards Lupine. He seemed to use the excuse of asking a few words to avoid the Weasley brothers who were pushing towards him.

Today is still the Christmas holiday. Although it is only a few days before the end of the holiday, the Christmas atmosphere on the street is still quite strong. Everyone walked on this still cold street, looking at the large number of Muggle customers in the shops on both sides, each looking for the difference between wizards and Muggles.

Probably thinking that Ron was a little too fond of joining in the fun, Lupine, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and reached out to give him a hand, lest he be taken into the store by the group of shoppers rushing to an electrical store. Son.

"Arrived."

Sure enough, not long after, Lupine pointed to a department store.

This is a department store that looks quite historic, and there are even some cracks on the old red brick walls. Because of the Muggle Repelling Curse, compared with the two nearby stores, this place looks quite deserted.

And on the lintel of this department store, there is a sign of "Taotao Co., Ltd.", which doesn't look like a store name at all.

It can be seen from the outside that most of the dummy models in the window are missing hands and feet, with the wigs on their heads tilted to one side, each posing inexplicable poses. On them, there are old-fashioned clothes that are at least ten years old, and the matching is obviously very problematic.

Right on the gate of this department store, a "Closed for Renovation" sign hangs on the doorknob, which is already covered with thick dust.

Behind them, there might be Muggles passing by the side of the road, but most of them walked forward in a hurry as if they didn't notice this side at all.

Only occasionally, once in a while, one or two people will glance at this side, but then look away indifferently.

"Here." Both Tonks and Lupine waved to the first-timers, gesturing them to stand in front of the window, "Are you ready?"

Everyone nodded, indicating that they had probably stood up.

Tonks shrugged, then turned around, leaned in front of the window and looked in, where there was a rather ugly-looking mannequin.

"Hello?" Tonks said, "We're here to see Maca McClain."

The recent weather is indeed quite cold. As she spoke, the water vapor she exhaled made the window glass foggy.

Immediately afterwards, the dummy in the window nodded slightly as if hearing her words. Then it raised its stiff arm again and beckoned inside.

"Okay, let's go!" Tonks turned around and said, then pulled Ginny's arm through the glass, and disappeared before everyone's eyes as if blending into it.

A few friends who had never been here before looked at each other for a while, and then followed behind them, biting the bullet and heading towards the window glass. In just a blink of an eye, they found themselves in an extremely crowded waiting room.

Here, there are rows of wooden chairs and a large number of witches and wizards of all shapes and sizes. Most of these wizards don't look normal. They either lack something or have something more on their bodies. They are almost the same as the dummy in the window before.

"Does Maca live in a place like this?" Harry couldn't help thinking, "Is there something extra about him?"
