Chapter 975: Science and Magic
When death gradually became a habit, Miriam thought that she would never shed tears for someone's death again.
But it wasn't until the moment when Asa's accident came that she realized that even if there were no tears in her eyes, her heart would still be filled with sadness, making her breathless.
When Sirius took her to identify the familiar man in the temporary ward at the back of the hall, Miriam finally realized that she might not be as strong as she thought.
This opposite sex, whom she had known since childhood, was lying motionless on the ground, lifeless.
"... Asa."
While looking at the face with slightly closed eyes, Miriam couldn't help calling out softly, and she felt her voice trembling slightly involuntarily.
Miriam hadn't been able to see him since Hai Erbo took him away and imprisoned him. But knowing that it was impossible for him to survive, Miriam never gave up searching—even if it was just like now, it would be good to see him one last time.
"Mr. Black, this is indeed my companion Asa..." Miriam looked at the place silently for a long time before she said softly, "You said just now that he is actually already dead, right?"
Sirius had been standing by the side without saying a word since just now.
In fact, as soon as he saw Miriam's expression, he knew that the man who lurked in disguised as a wounded patient had already been identified.
When Miriam asked about the details, he nodded and said:
"Yes, he should have died a long time ago, but he was endowed with terrible fighting abilities by using black magic. As for his consciousness, I am afraid that it ceased to exist a long time ago..."
"Is it by that Hai Erbo?"
"I guess so!"
In fact, for Miriam, the answer is no longer important. Now that even Grandpa Lavin has died, there is no need to delve into many things.
Otherwise, she was afraid that she would gradually understand that, in fact, the whole life of these children was an unknowing mistake.
"Mr. Black, do you know... In fact, we were all just ordinary Muggle children, and should have died a long time ago. If we have to say it, it is an incredible adventure that we can live until now It's..."
"And now, Asahi has finally returned to his original destiny."
"Really, I don't know what the meaning of our lives is. Maybe... dying as a Muggle back then was the most real thing for us."
When she said these words, Miriam's eyes seemed a little erratic, as if she was recalling the bits and pieces of her childhood.
After a long time, she turned her head again and said:
"I don't know...can I have a funeral for Asaph? A normal Muggle funeral...well, will it bother you?"
Sirius thought for a while, then nodded.
"Ask Maca after he wakes up! It should be all right after he checks for...Mr. There are a lot of things to say to him 'alone'...I'll wait for you outside."
After finishing speaking, Sirius left the room and went outside into the corridor.
"Ma--"
As soon as he came out, he saw Maca leaning against the wall, making a few vocal gestures to him.
"Are you awake? Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Sirius lowered his voice knowingly.
Maca immediately waved his hand.
"It's enough," he replied casually at first, and then laughed, "Sirius, what's wrong with you today? You're so considerate and you leave her alone space... This is not like your usual style what?"
Faced with Maca's ridicule, Sirius shrugged noncommittally... In fact, he saw his past in Miriam.
Both Harry's parents died that year, and he and Lupine lost two of their best friends.
But now looking at Miriam's peaceful appearance mixed with sadness,
He suddenly discovered that even though everyone is experiencing similar stories, everyone's choices are different.
At that time, he chose to let his anger burn unscrupulously. Even after staying in Azkaban for ten years, the anger could not be extinguished.
Miriam, on the other hand, chose to suffer silently, that's all.
If it was him who was still young, Sirius would definitely scoff at this, but now, for some reason, he wanted to agree with Miriam's choice.
Of course, even with a change of heart, Sirius was still Sirius. He would not easily express such thoughts in his heart.
Seeing that Sirius didn't seem to want to answer, Maca smiled again indifferently.
"Since you gave her time to be alone, I'll come back later!" He said, "As for the funeral, of course it's fine, but it will definitely take a while... See you later."
Looking at Maca's leaving back, Sirius shook his head, not knowing what else he thought of.
...
Speaking of which, Maca did wake up earlier, and it has only been six hours since she fell asleep.
However, this is really because there is still a very important thing waiting for him to do!
After asking someone in the hall, he went straight to the stairs, and went straight up to the sixth floor of St. Mungo's without stopping.
Sarah had already gone back to Hogwarts after the formation stopped. But perhaps because Victor and his son are still here, Sinista stayed here.
At this moment, the sixth floor has been restored to its previous furnishings like the hall, and the afternoon tea room and the gift shop for visitors have reopened.
"Oh, you are indeed here!"
Maca poked her head into the tea room, and soon saw Sinista's figure, and the old Victor sitting opposite her.
After Hermione's "nosy", the father and daughter who had never met each other finally put aside all the obstacles between the two sides, and truly confirmed each other's existence.
In this period of so many disasters, this family relationship is undoubtedly extremely precious.
Since Maca barely participated in the whole process, and even heard most of it indirectly from Hermione, he was actually not very clear about the details.
But this did not prevent him from using this as a topic to sit down and chat with the father and daughter.
"Professor Sinista, I heard you guys were talking about Diagon Alley just now... do you plan to let Mr. Victor come to live in the magic world?"
As he spoke, he naturally sat down on a table next to him.
But leaving aside old Victor, Sinista's immediate reaction was not to answer Maca's question, but subconsciously said like Sirius:
"McLean, are you up now? St. Mungo is fine now, why don't you take a rest?"
"Oh, why do you ask this question every time you meet everyone?" Maka wondered, "Don't worry, I'm rested well...really!"
To be honest, if only one or two people ask, he can tell himself that everyone cares about him. But if he was told to sleep more when he met everyone, it made him feel a little strange.
Not only Sirius and Sinista, even the people I met in the hall and on the stairs just now, it seems that everyone I know can't help but say this greeting to myself.
Still, it's always an act of caring, isn't it?
Putting aside some doubts in his heart, Maca didn't intend to go around in circles anymore, and then said directly:
"Well, actually, I'm here to find Mr. Victor... I know you are a Muggle professor of astronomy, and this time, I need your help."
After getting acquainted with Sinista, old Victor was obviously very different from before.
Although he was still wearing the coat of a cleaning volunteer, his entire face was still messy with hair and beard, making him look a bit unkempt.
But now, there is a light in his eyes, he is no longer like an old drunk soaked in a wine barrel all day long like in the past.
Hearing Maca's question, the old man quickly nodded and said:
"Astrophysics, to be precise."
This can also be regarded as an opportunity for him to meet Sinista's mother. If he hadn't loved Xingkong as much as Aurelia, the two would not have met and combined so smoothly, and there would have been no such bizarre life development afterwards.
Although Maca has some concepts about "Astrophysics", it is just a general impression. Seeing that old Victor answered seriously, he was not easy to answer.
Fortunately, the purpose of his conversation is still very clear.
"Mr. Victor, let me tell you the truth! I don't know much about science, but there is a problem that I think can only be solved with the participation of science..."
"Is it something about the wizarding world?"
Old Victor suddenly became curious.
As an old-fashioned Muggle scholar who has always had a close relationship with the magic world, he also wanted to explore the mysteries of magic from a scientific point of view. Whether it is the wizarding world or the Muggle world, the mentality of all researchers is actually almost the same.
It's a pity that what Maca did this time was not a pure research, but wanted science to help him solve a real crisis.
After thinking about it for a while, and secretly considering the subsequent impact of revealing the truth, he waved his hand and cast a silencer spell around him.
"Mr. Victor, this matter is very important... Whether you can help or not, at least please make sure not to tell anyone other than us."
After getting old Victor's nod, Maca said slowly:
"Presumably you also know about the recent 'Hale-Bopp Comet'? I have to say, it will bring us a very bad disaster... There are only three months left."
