Chapter 30
Regarding the cause of the accident, Maca asked a few words when Kevin left. Although the other party said that it was temporarily inconvenient to disclose to the public, they still revealed a little bit of the situation under Maca's questioning.
Those were two dark wizards who had fled from the American magic world to the UK, and the British Ministry of Magic had taken over the relevant search agreement. According to Kevin, they were actually a couple on the run. The husband was a dark wizard, but his wife was just an ordinary wizard.
No wonder that woman has been nervous. It seems that she was just forced to do nothing. Maca shook her head.
Even if she is forced to do nothing, it cannot be condoned. The danger of a black wizard is very great. Kevin said seriously, And no one can guarantee that she will not transform into a new dark wizard in the future.
Maca believes that what Kevin said is indeed very reasonable. For those real groups of dark wizards, appeasement and connivance will only make them more wanton and arrogant.
But so what? Maca doesn't want to be against anyone, as long as they don't mess with him, he doesn't want to take the initiative to provoke those guys whose brains have been completely broken.
Learning all kinds of profound and complicated magic knowledge is enough to consume energy, and he doesn't have so much leisure time to mess around.
Moreover, this time he used the spell outside the school, and Auror went to help him clear the record, what next? If something goes wrong, or if there is any misunderstanding, it will definitely be a big trouble.
In the following days, Maca took Luna around again.
Hyde Park, Tower Bridge, Trafalgar Square, the River Thames, Buckingham Palace, all places in London that can be visited have been visited. Looking at the road scene on the street during the day, and going to the theater to listen to the opera at night, this kind of life is simply a kind of enjoyment.
Ah—time is never enough. Maca sighed, and took Luna back to Lovegood's house.
By the way, no one told you about the abnormal situation when you... used Floo powder? When Maca appeared in the fireplace of Lovegood's house, Xenophilius Can't help but ask.
Oh, yes, Mr. Weasley also asked me, but I don't know. Maca was also puzzled by this, He also specially asked the maintenance personnel of the Floo network to re-adjust the fireplace in his house, Even refurbished it myself, but it didn't help at all.
He had consulted many books at Hogwarts, but the structure of the Floo network and the preparation of Floo powder had always been a mystery, and he had no idea about it. But this is not something that can be known by just asking anyone, and in the end this matter was shelved.
In short, it may have something to do with the soul, but it's just a guess at the moment. Maca thought secretly.
To be honest, he doesn't understand himself better than others. Since ancient times, the in-depth exploration of the mysteries of the human body has always been the bottleneck of many researchers, whether wizards or Muggles.
The vacation will end in a few days, Maca said suddenly, I plan to organize my study notes in the last few days, and I won't go out recently.
Sorry, Luna.
Huh? No, I should thank you. Luna smiled slightly, I had a very happy time, a very pleasant Christmas holiday.
...
Maca went back on the evening before school started, and he brought a lot of messy things, most of which were Christmas presents that everyone gave him. Although it is not a great thing, and even some of it is a snack, but this is everyone's heart.
For example, it included a large bag of rock cakes that Hagrid gave him. Maca felt that he would never eat them in his life, but he could at least keep them as a special souvenir—their shelf life was extremely long. up.
In fact, after Christmas Day passed, Maca received some late gifts one after another.
And in this batch of gifts, there are many useful things.
Dumbledore had sent him a Nimbus 2000 broomstick - it was obviously impossible to keep Maca from joining the Quidditch team.
Other teachers mostly sent books, all kinds of books, and even their own notes. For Maca, the gifts from these teachers really fit his heart.
What I have to mention is that Snape actually gave him a gift!
Well, although what Snape sent didn't look like a Christmas gift, Maca understood that the Felicia he sent was obviously rewarded.
What Snape sent the school owl was a small note.
'Shenfeng Wuying'... and its cracking spell 'Quick Healing'.
Maca looked at the note, there was a mantra on the front and back, and a simple and concise mantra analysis was written on it in small print.
...This is a great gift. Maca was a little emotional.
This is an offensive spell invented by Snape. It is concealed, fast and powerful. If there is no counter spell, there will probably be another content in the Unforgivable Curse.
Oh! Welcome back, Maca. Hermione waved happily to him as dinner at Hogwarts began, and she also just arrived today.
With the exception of Hermione, many people are welcoming Maca. In Maca's mind, it's probably due to his own gifts—they haven't seen such enthusiasm in normal times.
At the guest table, the professors also nodded kindly to him. Maca looked at Dumbledore's wicked smile, and couldn't help thinking that it would be better not to go there.
He greeted the professors from a distance, and then went to Hufflepuff's long table.
It's about to start again! Charlotte pushed Ermi who was sitting next to Maca away, and slapped Maca's back as usual.
Maca reluctantly let her shoot, because refusing would only make her shoot harder. .
The start that Charlotte mentioned naturally refers to Quidditch training. Although he received the Nimbus 2000 from Dumbledore this time, he felt that there was still time to take it out before the match, and there was no need to show it off everywhere.
After all, not to mention the effect of secrecy, it's better to keep a low profile, isn't it?
In the following days, although it was rainy and rainy all the time, the little badgers of the Quidditch team were still full of energy. Known for their hard work and steadfastness, they will not stagnate because of a little trouble. Maca, a lazy little badger, was squeezed among them, so he couldn't help showing some energy.
In order to make himself look more serious, Maca also proposed several creative tactics. With the unanimous affirmation of the players, his ideas received full cooperation and support in the practice.
Maca regretted this for a while, because in this way, the amount of training has increased a lot.
Of course, Maca had a lot to do besides Quidditch training.
Recently, he has been using all kinds of potions to nourish himself and enhance his efficiency, and the effect is amazing. Too many potions can be used, after all, there will still be side effects of various drug precipitation, and they cannot be used for long-term support.
Fortunately, a series of related research is coming to an end, and if nothing unexpected happens, another new potion will be born soon.
The inspiration and cause of this study all started from the sudden accident during the Christmas holiday.
For every wizard, the wand he owns is part of his life. Although wizards can replace wands after accidental damage, it is common knowledge in the wizarding world that a wizard cannot carry two wands at the same time.
Once a wand is bonded to its owner, it creates exclusivity over other wands. When two wands are held by the same person, the fellow gets nothing but a pair of thick, long, stiff, and untidy chopsticks.
But what if your wand is taken from you? Maca doesn't want to be in that situation again.
After comparing all the possibilities, he decided to work on potions, which he was best at.
Generally speaking, most potions are used by swallowing. Because once most potions come into contact with unknown substances in the air, their properties will undergo a rather complicated chain of drastic changes, and the consequences will be quite unpredictable.
Therefore, Maca gave up the original idea of trying to study volatile hypnotic potions, and turned to those simple and crude research and development directions.
The by-products of past experiments are a bunch of good examples of materials of a single nature that don't experience cascading upheavals. On this basis, Maca tested a highly volatile and flammable medicinal liquid, and used it to toss a bottle of rather dangerous liquid potion-this thing will really explode!
As long as there is such a small amount of fire-attribute material as a primer, a very powerful adherent magic flame can burst out in an instant.
According to Maca's judgment, the difficulty of this magic flame is almost a weakened version of the Fiendfire Curse; but its burning effect on those objects with magic power may not be much weaker than Fiendfire.
It's just a pity that the safety of carrying this thing cannot be guaranteed, which is a shortcoming that cannot be ignored.
Maca gave this trial work an equally simple and crude name——Fireflame Bottle No. 1.
At noon the next day, when Maca was sitting in the library during the break after lunch, writing long lines of potion formulas in his notebook, Hermione walked in quickly and excitedly.
Marca, I've found it! she said. I've found Nick Flamel!
That's not easy. It is said that he is now back in France. Maca said with a smile.
Uh, I mean, I found the information on Nick Flamel! Hermione whispered, I found his name in the Guide to Medieval Witchcraft!
Oh, yes, that's right. Maca nodded, So, you already know what's hiding behind Hagrid's three-headed dog?
I think so - it's the Philosopher's Stone! said Hermione, lowering her voice.
After getting Maca's affirmation, Hermione left happily. Maca looked at her back, but secretly thought that the main event was coming soon.
In fact, he also considered whether he wanted to join in the fun, but after thinking about it for a while, he decided to let it go. From the current point of view, his going will not have much effect, and maybe it will disrupt Dumbledore's plan.
After all, it was always Harry and Voldemort's business, so why should he make more mistakes?
