Chapter 712 Outside the Library at Night

... Ron, can this... really be lent to her?

Of course it's better not to.

That--

I know what you want to say, but now... well, it's better to give it to Hermione first! But we have to follow later... Let's do it! At that time, I will follow Hermione secretly, and you, just go to Mary Look for him in Ka's office. After the lights are turned off, he seems to basically stay in the office and go to bed very late...

In one of the boys' dorms in Gryffindor Tower, Harry and Ron were quietly discussing what to do for a while.

It's just that today's Hermione obviously cannot be changed by the two of them.

Speaking of which, what happened to Hermione?

After the two of them more or less made a plan to continue looking for Maca for help, Harry finally expressed his doubts. Although Hermione always liked to go to the library on weekdays and was far more interested in books than other students, Harry had never seen Hermione who seemed to bury herself with books like today.

Didn't she say it herself? Ron sighed, Looking for clues to the Horcrux.

I know that too... Harry said, glaring at Ron sullenly, Hey, you understand what I'm asking, don't send me off with such innocuous answers.

Oh—— Ron couldn't help scratching his scalp when he saw this, Harry, don't embarrass me. Among the three of us, Hermione thinks the most. Her thoughts... yes, I have So little guessing, but I don’t have any confidence in guessing right! If I guess wrong, maybe not only can’t solve the problem, but it may even make the current situation worse...

Uh, so we can only go to Maca first? Harry suddenly said helplessly.

To be honest, he hated feeling powerless, especially when something seemed wrong with his best friend.

However, Ron nodded affirmatively.

If it was Maca, he would definitely be able to quickly understand Hermione's current state and find the most suitable solution. He said, Actually, if you want me to say, Maca may not be best at those powerful monsters. Magic, don't you think?

Well, Harry nodded immediately after hearing this, Then... the time to turn off the lights is coming soon, after everyone has gone to sleep, we will send the Invisibility Cloak to Hermione first, and then—

Then, we will split up according to the plan just now. Ron continued.

About an hour later, the dormitory was completely dark as usual. Neville, who is used to going to bed early and waking up late, and Seamus and Dean, who are always energetic during the day, have already fallen into a sweet dream. .

So, Harry took out the Invisibility Cloak that had been prepared from under the bed, and walked out of the room with Ron.

This is already the sixth school year at Hogwarts, and the two of them have long been used to night tours in the castle. Feeling the darkness along the way, they walked smoothly from the stairs to the common room.

As for the matter of wandering around the castle without being invisible for a while, it is naturally within reach. Even on Hermione's side, if she hadn't decided to stay in the library for a long time, she obviously didn't need things like an invisibility cloak or a disillusionment spell.

When the two arrived at the last flight of stairs from the boys' dormitory leading to the common room, they nodded to each other in the dark for confirmation, and finally stepped into the lounge that was only illuminated by a little moonlight.

As expected, Hermione came out a little earlier than they did - she was already there waiting.

Oh, Harry... got it out?

Seeing Harry and Ron appearing at the doorway one after another, Hermione immediately stood up from the sofa chair by the window.

Ah, um... Harry pursed his lips, didn't say anything more, and simply stretched out his hand in Hermione's direction, It's right here, you... you can use it...

Is it here?

Since the invisibility cloak is completely invisible with the eyes,

Only after touching the real thing in Harrito's hand, Hermione grabbed it in her hand.

Thank you, Harry!

Not to mention that Harry's invisibility cloak is very special, even ordinary invisibility cloaks are very precious nowadays. Because the fur of the invisible monster used as its production material has never been something that can be mass-produced, the value has always been very high. Even the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic have to go to the warehouse to sign for it when they need to handle the case.

No matter what state of mind she was in right now, she was very grateful for Harry's loan of the Invisibility Cloak.

Then I'll go first... After thanking Harry, Hermione said quickly, You guys go back! Don't worry, I'm just going to check again, and I'll go back to the dormitory to sleep soon.

After finishing speaking, she hurriedly turned around and walked towards the doorway leading to the corridor outside. Before going out, she put on the invisibility cloak, and disappeared from the sight of the two of them in a blink of an eye.

Seeing that the portrait was gently closed again, and the Fat Lady's sleepy voice could still be heard faintly, Harry and Ron waited for a while in the common room, and then began to act.

...

The corridors of the castle at night are still as dark as ever, especially in the interior corridors without window openings.

Hermione naturally went to the library, so even if Ron couldn't see where Hermione was, he didn't have to worry about finding the wrong place. And the office of the professor of Ancient Runes that Harry was going to was also on the library floor.

Therefore, there was no need for the two of them to separate until the door of the library.

Of course, on the way down, they must also pay attention to the movement before and after. It was an hour past lights-out time, and the professor in charge of the night watch should have gone back, but there was still Filch and his cat wandering around. Moreover, Peeves, a spirit monster who always wanders around at night and makes trouble, is also the object they need to pay attention to.

However, Harry and Ron knew all of this already.

Filch's patrol route and rest time don't change much, and Peeves usually plays ball against the wall on the first floor or occupies the auditorium to get his principal addiction, except for Filch's cat, which is not easy to predict Other than that, everything else is fine.

However, none of them expected that there was a figure standing at the stairs on the second floor. When the two just found the figure, the other party waved at them directly, as if they were there specially waiting for the two of them.

Behind the man, the moonlight outside the window became a special background. Because of the backlight, Harry and Ron couldn't see who it was for a while.

It's just that, in the case of being discovered, it doesn't seem like a wise move to run away. The other party was obviously not Filch's idiot. If it was a certain professor, it was impossible for them to successfully slip away without being found out.

There was no way, Harry and the others could only bite the bullet and walk down the steps, while still thinking about what kind of explanation they should make for a while.

Hush.

Harry was about to say something, but he heard the other party immediately put his index finger on his mouth, motioning him to silence. And it wasn't until this moment that he and Ron realized that the one standing there was actually Maca whom he planned to find later.

But after telling Harry to stop talking, Maca waved his hand in the corridor towards the library, as if casting some kind of spell. After that, he beckoned to the two of them again, telling them to hurry over.

Hermione is already in the library, I put a silencer over there, Maca waited for the two of them to stand next to him, and then said, Now, tell me first, what happened? What's the matter?

After Harry and Ron heard it, they looked at each other again. In the end, Harry reached out his hand to indicate to Ron, saying that it was better for him to talk.

Ron nodded, turned his head and explained to Maca: Actually...we're not quite sure what's going on. It's just that, after that incident this morning, Hermione said to go to the library...

As soon as he said this, he suddenly realized one thing—they had nothing to say to Maca about the horcrux hunt, but since they had made up their minds to do it by themselves from the very beginning , what I want to say now feels a bit halfway.

It's just that this thought just flashed in Ron's mind for a moment. After all, the most important thing now is Hermione's affairs, and everything else is secondary.

Well, actually... Ron spread his hands helplessly, We've been investigating things about Horcruxes for a while...

When Ron said those words, both he and Harry were ready to be accused. Because they all know that terrible black magic items such as horcruxes are absolutely forbidden even to read related books.

But they didn't expect that under the moonlight, Maka's expression didn't change much.

Are you looking into Horcruxes? Are you... Forget it, let's not talk about this. He just raised his eyebrows, but then skipped the topic first, So, Hermione is going to the library Has the library checked the information?

Yes, yes! Ron nodded, but quickly shook his head again, But it's more than that, in fact... Hermione is very strange today, she stayed in the library for too long, except Eating and going to the bathroom, and never leaving once at other times, now...you see, she doesn't even plan to let go of her bedtime at night!

Hermione...

After hearing Ron's narration, Maca sank to think about it.

Since it was said that the time when Hermione changed was after she cleared up the misunderstanding with the African wizard in the morning, the problem probably lies there. However, other possibilities cannot be ruled out.

Not long after, Maca's expression became a little complicated.
