Chapter 388 Disorderly Clues

Maca is now on his way back to the office, because it is still class time, almost no one is walking in the corridor, it is very quiet.

The sound of his regular footsteps echoed in the hallway, tapping.

His expression hadn't been too bright since he emerged from Umbridge's office. Obviously, he had just forcibly captured the other party's memory with Legilimency and chanting the incantation, but what he learned from it did not give him much explanation.

This time, it was the first notice on the bulletin board that made him make up his mind to use tyrannical means to forcibly obtain information. At the end of the notice issued by the Ministry of Magic, "Rufus Scrimgeour" was written in place of the minister's signature.

So where had Cornelius Fudge gone?

In Umbridge's memory, Maca learned the most intuitive situation. In this regard, the truth was not beyond his expectation—the timid Fudge was quietly taken away by Voldemort.

In fact, Fudge was already under Voldemort's grip at the beginning of the school year. It's just that his timid character seemed to dissatisfy Voldemort.

But even so, Voldemort would never choose to get rid of Fudge easily. Between Maca and Voldemort, Fudge, the Minister of Magic, played the role of a balance point.

After all, the Ministry of Magic is still full of ordinary wizards. Even if Voldemort wanted to add more manpower, he would give up this blatantly stupid behavior because of Maca's reaction.

After all, it was Voldemort himself who chose to avoid frontal combat and tried to attack Hogwarts "within the rules".

But now, because of Dumbledore's inexplicable death, the situation is bound to change.

Although Dumbledore's funeral has not yet been officially held, the news has already been released. Voldemort, who became more and more suspicious, naturally would not choose to "take advantage of the situation" hastily.

But after excluding this most direct way of coping, what is left is of course "testing".

The disappearance of Cornelius Fudge is obviously a tentative act made by Voldemort in response to Dumbledore's death.

After today, what kind of reaction Hogwarts will make, and how much reaction it will make, will become reference information for Voldemort's side.

And the second thing Maca wants to confirm is of course the truth about the Minos incident.

First of all, Maca knew about Umbridge's conversation with the black Bombay cat decoration plate. It can be said that not even every sentence, every word, or even every slightest movement escaped the search of the powerful Legilimency.

In order to present the memory in the clearest state in his mind, the Legilimency used by Maca has exceeded the general safety standard, which is bound to damage Umbridge's spirit.

But when he saw those eyes hidden behind the mist in Umbridge's memory, he did so without hesitation.

"Could that be... Gellert Grinwald?"

Maca felt that this was very possible, because it didn't look like Voldemort's eyes at all - flat, wise, firm, and deep.

He had seen that look in another wizard before. Of course, the previous headmaster of Hogwarts, the great white wizard Albus Dumbledore.

Not to mention the difference between Grinwald and Dumbledore, but Maca knows that these two former close friends and old enemies are "true wizards" with absolute belief.

Regardless of whether this belief is good or bad, all beliefs are a kind of "desire", which has nothing to do with secular moral standards.

The bleary eyes he had seen in Umbridge's memory undoubtedly held some kind of pure faith.

If those eyes were really Greenwald,

Doesn't that mean that Umbridge had contact with Voldemort and Greenwald at the same time?

"...'The tombstone of evil will eventually change hands'."

Reminiscent of Trelawney's prophecy, reality does seem to be shifting in that direction.

For Maca, it is obviously the best state for the Monument of Bewitching to remain in Voldemort's hands, because Voldemort's Horcrux magic is like a series of shackles, which can firmly lock the disaster behind the Monument of Bewitching.

But if the Monument of Bewitching really falls into the hands of Greenwald, the future development will become unknown again.

"Maca!"

A voice interrupted his thoughts, pulling him back to reality from the chaotic speculation.

"Harry?" Maca looked at the anxious boy in the front of the corridor, "What's wrong? It's still class time—did something happen?"

Seeing Maca who had just turned the corner of the corridor, Harry rushed up to meet him, and Hedwig, who was standing on his shoulder, swayed for a while.

"Huh? Is your owl hurt?"

That snow-white owl has always been beautiful, but now it looks disheveled and not in good spirits.

"Oh—yes, Hedwig she—" Harry said, pausing suddenly, "No, Hedwig's just wait... Maca, you have to read this! It should be written by Sirius... ..."

Maca reached out to take the crumpled parchment handed over by Harry. Seeing that it was written in dark red, she couldn't help but took it up and sniffed it under her nose.

"Blood book?" He asked inexplicably, "Is his magic power exhausted?"

If the magic power is not exhausted, the text can be displayed with a single tap of the magic wand. If you are proficient in using the spell, you can write a large paragraph of content in just a few seconds, and you don't have to use blood to write.

"What happened to him... shouldn't it be?"

To be honest, when Maca heard the news that Sirius had secretly left Black's old house, he wasn't worried at all. Because before that, he had already let part of the giant eight-eyed spider hide on several members who might be in danger.

Sirius, who has never been peaceful, is naturally one of them.

So, what kind of crisis did he encounter so that the alienated giant arachnid could not protect him?

"I'll deal with this matter, you go back to class first!" Maca raised the parchment in his hand, and said to Harry, "I will find him—"

Immediately afterwards, he took out another bottle of potion and stuffed it into Harry's hand.

"Give your owl a drink, and it will be all right soon."

Seeing that Harry still seemed uneasy, Maca didn't say anything more, he just patted Harry on the shoulder, and then walked on.

"Maca—"

Harry couldn't help shouting towards his back, but he didn't know what to say and what to do.

Maca turned her head and glanced at him, as if she suddenly thought of something.

That was the third thing he saw in Umbridge's memory, a conversation between Sokas and Umbridge. In terms of time, it should be the time he met Sokas in front of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office.

"Umbridge probably won't come to trouble you again, but you still have to be careful, especially that boy from Minos named 'Sokradis'!"

Maca said, hesitated for a moment, then shook his head again.

"No, apart from that boy, other refugees from the Minos School of Magic must also pay attention! Do you understand?"

The conversation between Sokas and Umbridge was not so clear. While Umbridge did have some discussions with that Sokas about trying to confuse the Hogwarts students, no specific plans were mentioned yet.

If you have to say it, it can only be regarded as a pre-planning discussion at best.

And for some reason, Maca felt that Sokas didn't seem to be that interested in disrupting Hogwarts, and there was a little perfunctory hidden in his plain attitude.

According to what Umbridge said to the contact person on the decorative plate, Sokas should also be from there... There may be some hidden secrets that Umbridge doesn't know.

...

"... Sokrades? Anyone else? Maca said?" Hermione asked in surprise.

On the stone steps leading to the dungeon, Harry caught up with Hermione and Ron, who looked just like him, both preoccupied and preoccupied.

"That's right!" Harry nodded, "At first he only mentioned that 'Sokradis', but then he added that other people should also pay attention..."

"Oh... then... Helen should be okay?" Hermione hesitated, "She's a good girl..."

Hermione said with a worried face, lifted the shoulder strap of her schoolbag again, and accelerated her pace again - because the class bell rang again.

"Anyway, the first thing to pay attention to is the 'tongue twister', that's for sure!" Ron leaned forward and said, "By the way, how is Hedwig? Where's the letter?"

"Maka said he would take care of it," Harry said dully, "Although I can't rest assured, it must be the most correct decision to leave it to Maca. No matter how worried we are, we can only wait..."

"As long as we keep working hard, we will be able to help sooner or later." Hermione patted Harry's arm and pursed her lips.

The three of them walked down the stone steps with heavy steps, followed by two consecutive potions lessons. Thinking of facing Snape's difficulties under such circumstances, Harry couldn't help but want to skip class.

However, when they came to the corridor in the basement, they were awakened by an annoying voice.

It was Draco Malfoy, standing at the door of the classroom, waving a piece of parchment in his hand, speaking so loudly that he could be heard from such a distance.

"... That's right! Sokas got Umbridge through the reorganization of the Slytherin Quidditch team early in the morning, almost automatically! I dare say, if I go, that's all I can do Soon - you know, my dad knows her very well, and dad is often invited to the Ministry of Magic..."

As he was talking, Malfoy suddenly paused, and then he put on a smile and said, "As for Gryffindor... It's not me, whether they can pass the application is still a big problem! Isn't it?"

Behind Malfoy, the slightly thin Sokas just stood there with a smile, and he didn't show much reaction to the surprises thrown at him by the other Slytherins.

"Harry..."

Hermione turned to look at him, as if worried that he might act impulsively again.

"No, I'm fine—" Harry shook his head expressionlessly, "Maka just reminded me of what to pay attention to, and I won't forget it so soon.") Download the free reader!!
