Chapter 1016 Luna, she seized the right time

?

Speaking of which, the reason why Snape discovered Luna's going out last night was because of Aberforth.

Because of Luna's words at that time, the heart knot that had been bound for many years was suddenly opened, so that the latter immediately drove away all the drinkers in the bar under strong remorse.

Such offending things, not to mention that Aberforth is still a member of the Order of the Phoenix—even if he has nothing to do with the Order of the Phoenix, That night there was a strange old man with a big waist and a big waist. The shopkeeper abandoned the guests and ran to chase a certain girl The anecdote will spread like wildfire.

So in fact, not to mention Snape, even Lu Ping and others in London have already learned about this shit through Mundungus' channel.

And Snape, only through the rather specific description in the rumors, concluded that the night walker was Luna.

... What did you do when you left Hogwarts so late last night?

At this moment, Snape stood quietly behind the podium, looked at Luna in the seat and questioned.

Huh? Luna tilted her head immediately, recalling, Professor Snape, where did you see me? Why don't I remember?

The entrance to the secret passage she walked was completely inside the Ravenclaw tower, and to enter the tower, one had to pass through the bronze eagle knocker first—even the school professor was no exception to this point.

Therefore, Luna was really a little surprised at this time.

Can you walk through walls like a ghost... Oh, you are actually a ghost, right?

When Aberforth violently drove away the guests, Luna had already left the bar first, so it was impossible for her to know how her night out was exposed to Snape from the beginning.

Otherwise, with her jumpy thinking, maybe she can guess the source of the leaking news like a sudden flash of light!

However, no matter how outrageous Luna's words were, Snape didn't pay much attention to them.

Miss Lovegood, don't worry about how I know, he raised his chin and said, Tell me! Where have you and Aberforth been since you left Hogwarts last night? London? ?”

Oh! How do you know everything?

After hearing Snape's question,

Luna suddenly looked at him inexplicably with an expression of admiration.

I see, you are not only a ghost, but also a 'know-it-all'! Wait, if 'Miss know-it-all' is Hermione...then you must be 'Mr. know-it-all'!

The nickname Hermione was given by Snape, most of which were malicious sarcasm. And now Luna was put on top of his own head, and Snape's eyes twitched in anger.

After waving his hands a little impatiently, Snape skipped the topic again, and finally said directly:

In short, you not only left the dormitory last night, but even slipped out of the school and went to London. In order to give a proper punishment, after school today, you go to—

The matter of punishing the student should have been left to the dean of the student's college, but Luna is a little wizard of Ravenclaw, so Flitwick had to deal with it no matter what. But Snape didn't want to worry about it so much now, at worst, he would just talk to Flitwick later.

After all, in the final analysis, he didn't really dislike Luna—even Luna's violation of school rules, he didn't think it was so bad.

To be honest, Snape punished Luna this time just to warn her not to go to London again.

Obviously, the current Snape is no longer the somewhat absent-minded Potions professor of the past.

Ok! Of course, he seemed to have some partiality for the Slytherins after all.

But before Snape could say the punishment, he heard footsteps at the door. Then, the front door of the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom was opened from the outside, and Professor McGonagall suddenly appeared at the door.

Severus, so you're here?

It can be found that Professor McGonagall came in a hurry, because she only stood still outside the door, so she couldn't even see Luna sitting in the middle of the classroom.

But behind her, there were three people, Flitwick, Sprout, and Slughorn, who were all closely following in the corridor outside at the moment.

Just before Mag's last sentence was settled, she followed up:

Over at the Ministry of Magic, Mr. Scrimgeour sent an urgent message—you know, Maca gathered all the Muggles who might have been under the Dark Arts into the Ministry of Magic's dungeon. And just this morning , those Muggles collectively mutated without warning...the dungeon floor has been lost.

Hearing this, Snape probably understood the meaning of Scrimgeour's urgent message.

So, he wants to ask for help?

He said he was asking for help, but those who knew the inside story knew that he was actually asking Maca to come over.

However, no one knows where Maca is now, and Scrimgeour obviously knows it. So in desperation, he could only go directly to the current headmaster of Hogwarts, Minerva McGonagall.

Hmph... Snape chuckled lightly, and said sarcastically, It is estimated that our minister doesn't know whether to blame Kwamaka for his foresight, or to blame him for causing great trouble to the Ministry of Magic!

Snape had never liked Scrimgeour.

This former Auror has always been mediocre, but taking advantage of the chaos when Fudge was killed by Voldemort, and Maca and the Order of the Phoenix intervened again, he almost half-forced and half-voluntarily took the position.

But now, the stability of the British magic world mostly depends on Maca's prestige. Although he has done many things, they are all trivial.

Of course, at least that was how it seemed to Snape.

However, no matter how much he looked down on the current Minister of Magic, he still had to help. Just like the reason why Maca was happy to let Scrimgeour stay in that position, at least this guy always firmly believed that standing by Maca's side was the most correct choice.

Stop talking about that now, Snape's sarcasm, McGonagall pretended not to hear, and she continued, Severus, anyway, I'm going to let you and Slughorn take a trip— —Let’s go and see the situation first! How to deal with it, remember to keep in touch.”

Some things McGonagall didn't say clearly, but Snape understood.

As we all know, the dungeon of the Ministry of Magic is not directly connected to the upper level, and even the elevator cannot directly go down to that level. As for the staircase leading to the dungeon, it can actually be completely cut off.

So, what Professor McGonagall actually means is that if the current situation of the Ministry of Magic is not so bad that the isolation is broken, then simply delay it a little longer! It would be best if it could be dragged until Maca came back.

After all, who knows what the hell the Muggles down there are turning into now?

Yes, I know--

Due to this sudden incident, even Snape had inadvertently forgotten Luna's existence. But before he could remember again, everyone present suddenly heard a light voice, interrupting Snape's answer.

Professor McGonagall, if I can go around the place where Maca disappeared, Luna suddenly stood up from her seat and looked at the door calmly, Maybe I can find out where Maca is.

What? You...you mean it?

If she had gone to ask Professor McGonagall to let her go to London yesterday, she would have been rejected; but at the moment when the Ministry of Magic is in trouble, the possibility of the other party agreeing to her is very high.

It can be said that Luna realized this almost instinctively, so she spoke without thinking.

Well, really!

...

Luna relied on her talent and hard work to acquire the ability to perceive magic.

And the ability to sense magic power with one's own spirit surpasses the contemporary detection alchemy props in its subtlety. If it is used well, it can even help Luna greatly deepen her study and application of magic spells.

It's just that the talent of Charms and her spiritual talent are obviously two completely different aspects. In addition, the study of magic is definitely not a day's work, but it can be put aside for the time being.

All she needs now is to use the basic utility of sensing magic to detect traces that other wizards cannot perceive.

To be honest, it is still unknown whether the space where Maca is located can be found through this more detailed search.

Therefore, the word maybe that Luna used before was really not because she was being modest.

The conversation was divided into two parts. When Professor McGonagall made a decisive decision and asked Flitwick to take Luna to London to try to find Maca, Snape and Slughorn followed the original plan and soon appeared in the Fireplace foyer at the Ministry of Magic.

Mr Scrimgeour.

When the two arrived there, they immediately found that the hall, which was supposed to be full of people, had become empty. It must be that Scrimgeour secretly had something wrong, so he simply found some excuse and invited out all the wizards from the Ministry of Magic who came to handle business.

Ah! Professor Snape, Professor Slughorn, you are here...

Scrimgeour watched the two of them walking towards him, and while meeting them, he also glanced several times at the place where the two of them appeared just now, rather unwillingly.

It's a pity that the one who made him complain because he kept stuffing Muggles into the dungeon not long ago, no matter how much he wished for it, he didn't show up now.

Brother, don't leave the mess and run away!

Don't look, we haven't found out where Maca is yet— Snape said indifferently, Of course, he will reappear in front of us sooner or later, there is no doubt about it.

No matter what happened to the Ministry of Magic, there was nothing wrong with giving Scrimgeour a shot first. If it is confirmed later that it can be dragged on, his words will naturally have their due effect.

Oh, yes, yes! Scrimgeour forced a smile.
