Maca was choked by Voldemort's neck all the way to the gates of Hogwarts, but at this time she was not as tight as she was at first, but she still had no intention of letting him go.

Standing in front of the enchanted gate, Voldemort paused, then pointed at the door with Maca's wand, but did not react in the slightest.

"Damn! It's rebelling against me—" Voldemort said hatefully, "you, use it to open the door, you don't need me to teach you how to do it, right?" ”

Maca took the wand, but her neck was still in Voldemort's hands! Although the other party didn't say anything like "no movement", the sense of threat was still vague.

With a wave of his wand, he probed the door, and immediately saw a barrier appearing on it.

"Protection lifted."

Maca swung her wand in two arcs, and a pillar of magical light struck the center of the magical barrier. But Marka's spell was obviously weaker than that of the spellcaster, and it took a while to completely remove the barrier.

The main entrance to Hogwarts was opened by Maca!

"Well done—" Quirrell, who was controlled by Voldemort, suddenly had a terrifying smile on his face, and the hand around Maca's neck tightened slightly.

But before his words fell, Maca turned his hand and it was a stun spell, he didn't even recite the spell this time, it was a silent spell! Caught off guard, Voldemort was knocked out of the air, and even the Philosopher's Stone in his hand fell to the ground.

"The Philosopher's Stone is flying." With a wave of her wand, Maca summoned the Philosopher's Stone into her hand.

But before he could cast the next spell, he saw Voldemort pounce on the door, and with a "crackle", the space immediately distorted.

"Oops!" Maca turned around, but someone was quicker than him.

I saw a red light as fast as lightning, with the momentum of piercing space, and hit the center of the area that had become distorted by the illusion of distortion, it was Dumbledore!

Maca faintly heard Voldemort snort, and in an instant, the spatial distortion calmed down.

"How?" Maca asked busily.

Dumbledore shook his head slightly as he walked this way.

"He's definitely hurt, but he's not necessarily going to die."

Maca couldn't help but frown when she heard this—he didn't expect that Voldemort would still have the strength to move under his close-range stun curse. This vitality is as tenacious as a cockroach.

Unfortunately, Maca's silent spell wasn't enough to cast a powerful spell, otherwise he might have been able to leave Quirrell, possessed by Voldemort, at Hogwarts.

At this time, Dumbledore walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and whispered, "Fortunately, you have recovered the Philosopher's Stone, otherwise the consequences will be much more serious than this." ”

Hearing this, Maca nodded, and he raised the magic stone in his hand to look at it, but his mood became strangely heavy.

"Voldemort must have hated me now, but more importantly—"

For Maca at this time, the most terrifying thing is not Voldemort's escape, but everything is biased towards the unknown trajectory. Although he doesn't remember much, he can at least remember some of the main points. But now, my memories have become untrustworthy.

In particular, he already knew clearly that it was he who caused this series of great changes!

"The butterfly effect."

Maca whispered to herself, her eyes never off where Voldemort had disappeared. In his eyes, the starlight on the distant wall was reflected, which looked extremely deep and tranquil, but seemed to be filled with deep gloom.

Maca stood there silently, unconsciously, in a trance......

But no matter what kind of mood change Maca has, the things that should continue are still going on, and time will not stand still for him alone.

How Dumbledore thought about this incident and how to arrange the follow-up treatment, Maca lost interest in following and observing.

As he hurried past Hermione, who had been untied by Dumbledore, the little girl with misty eyes was smiling joyfully at him. But he didn't even look at her, he just staggered past her, and walked towards Hogwarts Castle with heavy steps.

"Maca—" Hermione shouted, but Maca didn't seem to hear her.

"Bang bang!"

Standing in front of the door of the Ravenclaw Tower, Maca knocked rudely on the door.

"Quack, what's wrong? Looks like the world is about to end? The bronze eaglet on the knocker blinked, flapped its wings and landed on top of his head.

"It's nothing, I've gained something from the runes on the Scroll of Truth, so I'm here to talk to you." Maca didn't want to talk much about what happened not so long ago.

"Gah? Is it! So fast? The bronze eaglet said in surprise, and took Maca directly to the Ravenclaw chamber again.

In the Chamber of Secrets, Maca shows Kitty the power of cooling runes.

Seeing this, the bronze eaglet nodded and said, "Yes, you are already qualified to explore the next test!" If you pass the test correctly, you'll have a chance to see the true charm of the rule runes—"

At this point, the bronze eaglet suddenly landed on the table in front of Maca, and said solemnly: "-and, the danger of breaking the rules!" ”

"Dangerous?" Maca was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.

Although his knowledge of the rule runes was still in a state where he had just touched the edge, if such a mysterious thing was not applied properly, unforeseen dangers would definitely occur. This is something that can be understood with his ass, and after Bronze Kitty mentioned this, he naturally had some guesses.

"And what's the next test?" Maca pondered for a moment, then looked up and asked.

The bronze eaglet tilted his head, and said with a few quacks, "This test will take a lot of time, because you need to enjoy a long trip to the ocean. ”

"Uh, how long?" Maca frowned.

"The trip will take as long as you travel from here to Albania." "On the way, you have to go to another place...... Shelf No. 1, take down the topmost copy of Elis's Voyages—"

With a wave of her wand, Maca moved the bookshelf away, and in the distance she saw an unusually large, thick-sealed book, lying horizontally on top of the others.

"Quack, that's the one, the biggest!" The bronze eaglet shouted.

With a wave of her wand again, she controlled the big notebook floating in front of her. He placed the large, heavy notebook on the table and gently opened the cover.

"You can take your time on the road and turn to the end, where there's a nautical chart in it." After the bronze eaglet finished speaking, after Maca unfolded the chart, he continued, "The route marked with red ink is your journey this time. Take a good look! See that little cross halfway through? It's a small island, too—"

Speaking of this, Kitty paused before continuing: "It's also where Rowena and Ravenclaw met. ”

"What?" Maca looked stunned, and conjectures flashed through her mind.

"It's a not-so-secret secret," Bronze Kitty shook his little head, "to be honest, this matter doesn't matter to you. But if you want to find out, when you get there, you can take a look around. ”

"Okay, everything after that will be said when you come back, I wish you a pleasant trip! Quack! Kitty's shrill laughter gave Maca a headache.

"I said, what is this in Albania...... Lake Ricquini? And then, what to do? Looking at the unfamiliar place names on the map, Maca hurriedly asked.

He didn't want to go to the place and continue to think about what to do.

"Diving down, of course - what do you think?"

Maca nodded knowingly, and said to herself, "I don't know if one summer vacation is enough, I hope it's time-"

"Wait," he said suddenly, a complicated look flashed across his face, "Since you have this opportunity, it's better to ......"

After talking to the Bronze Kittyhawk, Maca continued to look through the large number of books on the shelves. He even planned to bring more useful books with him for the trip to peruse.

The books here are not all about the theory of magic, but also many of the experiments that have been successful or unsuccessful. Although it has been a long time since then, and many studies have lost their timeliness, it can still be used as a reference for ideas, but it can still make maca extremely rich.

After all, these are the books of the famous witch of the time, Rowena Ravenclaw!

This time, Maca had been here for almost three full days, squatting in this secret room every day except for the necessary tasks that needed to be resolved.

Incidentally, he missed the final Quidditch match in Hufflepuff because no one could find him.

Surprisingly, although Ravenclaw had a leading base point throughout, it was Hufflepuff's great beauty Charlotte who ended the game by catching the Golden Snitch. This couldn't help but make the teachers and students in the audience cheer warmly for her.

When Maca came out again, Harry had been on his bones in a hospital bed for three days. Madam Pomfrey's potions worked, and his bones had long since healed, but Madam Pomfrey insisted on observing him for a few days before letting him go.

When Maca arrived that day, he found Dumbledore there. Not only Dumbledore, but Hermione and Ron were there to accompany Harry.

As Maca stepped through the door of the hospital room, Hermione was the first to spot him.

"Maca! You-"

As soon as she spoke, she immediately remembered the scene three days ago. Not only was the experience of fighting Voldemort's wits and courage, but what impressed Hermione the most was the moment when Maca passed by her at the end.

He couldn't even remember what Maca's expression was, but Hermione still remembered it vividly, as if that moment was still in front of her.

Hermione couldn't help but shut her mouth at the thought of her gloomy face, a mixture of resentment, surprise, and regret. She didn't know what Maca was thinking, but she was as smart as she could vaguely understand that it wasn't something that others could easily touch. She didn't want to, she didn't dare to touch it.

No matter how smart Hermione was, after all, she was only a teenage girl, and she didn't understand how to deal with this vague and complex psychological state in her heart.

"Huh?" Maca looked at her and said, "Oh, Hermione, was it okay that day?" Did it hurt anywhere? ”

"No, no......" Hermione replied in a low voice.

"That's good, it's okay." Maca smiled and nodded, and then made her way to Harry's bed.
