Chapter 897 Meteorite Crisis!
The familiar bridle path, the familiar iron fence gate, and the more familiar lawn, lights, Christmas trees... and the outline of the castle that was mostly covered by snow.
Even the sweet smell of Christmas pudding permeated the air, rolling quietly between the mouth and nose with the wind.
In just a blink of an eye, the gloom and desolation of Azkaban suddenly turned into the tranquility and warmth of Hogwarts. But at this moment, in Maca's heart, this warmth seemed to be unstable as if it had fallen into an ice cellar.
...How is it? Are you surprised?
A muffled voice came out from the big lump of ice, if it wasn't for the silence around, it would be hard to hear what was said.
Maca didn't answer.
He just raised the magic staff in his right hand silently, and then punched the pestle on the ground. Then the hard black stone made a solid click sound.
There is no doubt that at that moment just now, he, the rune pattern, and even the layer of black stone under the glyph slab have all been transferred here...
And the so-called here is in front of the gate of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Maca licked his lips, the prickly touch made him feel very uncomfortable.
That's right—
He glanced behind him, and the faint blue light had quietly faded away... Many curved stone slabs had finely interlaced cracks as the magic power dissipated.
It was a pleasant surprise.
Before the words were finished, Maca suddenly thrust his staff forward, and the sudden explosion of the floating spell threw the piece of ice that was as tall as a person into the air.
In the next second, a beam of dazzling almost scorching light emerged from the top of the staff, blasting the ice cube and the people inside into frosty white powder.
It's a pity that some of the most important things in that lump of ice have already left silently.
call……
Looking up, looking at the heavy snowflakes flying in the drowsy night sky, the coolness brought by the snowflakes being melted by the body temperature also grew on his face.
But at this moment, Maca, what he wanted to see was not the snow, but a certain boulder that was approaching here.
To be honest, he did think about this plan enough, and even put the extremely low possibility of Haierbo snatching the body of old Youn on the spot into the ranks of vigilance.
But he never expected that Haierbo would forcibly cut out the running rune pattern, and move it to the vicinity of Hogwarts with the magic of space movement.
Judging from the appearance of the scene, if the space within the campus had not been reinforced by the founder, he would have allowed the formation to appear directly in the center of the school.
But... Of course, for a meteor falling from the universe to the ground, such a small distance is nothing at all.
There are still three months.
Maca stood still and nodded, then waved his hand to clean up the black stones and carvings on the ground, and then restored the messy horse path and lawn.
In three more months, when the earth rotates to a fixed position, the huge rock from the universe will break into the atmosphere along the established path and land here precisely.
As far as the accuracy of the data given by Ewan Ravenclaw was concerned, the error will not even exceed three feet by then.
Perhaps, this will be the biggest crisis that Hogwarts has faced since ancient times.
...
Tut Tuk.
There were two knocks on the door, and Mag, who was concentrating on sorting out recent materials, suddenly raised his head.
Please come in.
The last three days and two nights should be the happiest time in the school.
Although it was already late at night and wandering outside the school grounds had stopped, everyone should still be playing around in the auditorium, or other classrooms, or corridors. Even the professors at the school were laughing heartily with the little wizards at this time.
At a time like this, who would come to the principal's office to look for her?
No, it would not be too unusual for that child to come before today. It's a pity that he has left for the time being.
With Professor McGonagall's Come in, the office door opened.
Good evening, Professor McGonagall.
Maca?
It can be seen that Mag looks very surprised. Because in her impression, Maca is a person who sticks to what he says, and once he says some decisions, he will definitely do what he thinks.
When Maca proposed the idea of resigning temporarily, McGonagall tried to retain him several times, but failed. But who knew that within one night, he would appear in front of her again.
Aren't you... Mag was startled, and then said again, Oh, of course I hope you can stay—we can discuss some things together, and you don't have to bear it alone. But...you Why did you come back so soon?
Maca turned around and closed the door, then walked lightly to the chair not far from the desk and sat down.
Because there are some things that don't need to be done anymore.
He said, but there was a wry smile on his face. You know, this kind of expression is extremely rare on him.
What happened? Seeing this, Mag hurriedly asked
However, Maca didn't know where to start with Professor McGonagall's questioning.
In the past when Dumbledore was still there, Maca had a lot of exchanges with him in secret. For example, he discussed with Dumbledore how to plan against Voldemort, and he also cooperated in staging a drama of escape from prison.
But since Dumbledore left, it was difficult for him to find someone who could actually help him.
Although, Maca has never been the kind of person who needs to mention everything.
With no one to tell him what to do, he still struggled to solve many problems, even the crisis that the Devouring Mirror almost destroyed Hogwarts by himself.
But this time, some things must be said.
Professor, Maca said in a deep voice after being silent for a moment, please prepare for the evacuation of the whole school within three months.
Evacuate the whole school?
Hogwarts has never had a history of requiring teachers and students to evacuate the castle. Even in the wizarding wars of the past, Hogwarts Castle has always been one of the few last lines of defense in the British wizarding world.
There are all kinds of defensive magic left over from ancient times here, and there are also many powerful wizards, and there have even appeared several times the world-renowned powerhouses in the magic world.
For Minerva McGonagall, who has always been proud of this school, evacuating the whole school is simply equivalent to abandoning the family... No, it may be much more serious than that.
But since this sentence came from Maca's mouth, Mag couldn't help but pay attention to it.
...why? Is this happening... no, I mean, what the hell is 'going to' happen?
Maca heard the words, sighed slightly and said:
About three months later, a huge rock flying from space to the earth will turn into a meteor and fall at the gate of the school.
Space? Meteor? Hogwarts? McGonagall asked in amazement, How do you know? Did any prophet make a prophecy?
No, there is no need for prophecy. Maca shook his head and said, Because I 'picked' off that meteor...
To be honest, his words are even more terrifying than the meteor will fall at the school gate just now. If it wasn't Maca McLean who said this, I'm afraid McGonagall would drive the speaker out of the principal's office.
This...why? Professor McGonagall's chest stagnated, and he held back for a long time before he said incredulously.
Not far away, Maca, who was sitting on a chair, leaned on the padded back of the chair and thought for a while before speaking again.
Professor McGonagall, he sat up straight, and asked quite seriously, Do you know a wizard named 'Ewan Ravenclaw'?
Maca still couldn't tell Professor McGonagall too much, because some things involved too much.
Therefore, he could only choose to mention many things casually, and only select the information related to the meteor fall to inform the other party cautiously.
Just like the secret of the old Eun's identity, Haierbo's Horcrux, and the Star Reaching Project to destroy the Horcrux with meteors.
And, of course, the terrible failures of shooting yourself in the foot when lifting a rock not so long ago.
In the final analysis, it is actually not complicated, and it can be summed up in one sentence, that is——was severely slapped by that cunning Hai Erbo.
...So now it seems that Haierbo tonight has actually been concealing his real purpose. From the beginning he tried to pretend to be Youn to be discovered by me, then he showed his strength to force me to fight him, and then used The old Eun's soul induced me to seal his actions, and let me start the last step of the formation thinking I had seized the best time.
Maca believed that he was not wronged at all for losing this time, but the price was really too heavy.
After listening to his narration, Mag couldn't help asking:
So, can't you change the trajectory of that meteor again?
Yes, yes, Maca said immediately, It's just that it's too late in time—I was able to design the formation map only after I had the data of old Eun. But even with such detailed data, and it took a lot of time...
If you wait for the meteor to smash the land into ruins and then calculate the result, even if you can make a new rune array map again, it will obviously be useless.
so……
So, in short, get ready to give up the castle! Then... I will try my best to think of other ways.
Finally, Maca said such a sentence, stood up, said good night, and left.
Mag originally wanted to stop Maca, trying to understand his thoughts more. But when Mag saw his slightly tired side face, he just opened his mouth and let him disappear at the door of the office in silence.
Ugh……
