"Malfoy lied to you," Hermione said to Harry. "You see? He's not going to meet you there at all - filch knows someone's going to the prize showroom. Malfoy must have told him!"

Harry thought Hermione might be right, but he obviously didn't want to agree with Hermione.

"Let's go," Harry turned.

However, things are not that simple.

As soon as they had walked ten steps, they heard the ball handle of a door rattle and something jump out of a classroom in front of them.

That's a ghost! As soon as he saw them, he screamed happily.

"Shut up, Pippi! Please, you'll get us fired." Ron said bitterly.

Pippi giggled. He didn't care what Ron was talking about.

"Annoying freshmen, wandering around in the middle of the night. Tut, tut, tut, naughty, naughty, you will be caught." it imitated the branch hat and said in a strange tone.

"Pipi ghost, do you want to know how the silver blood on blood man barrow came from?" Maka looked at it for a while and suddenly said.

"Eh?" Pipi ghost was surprised when he heard the name, showing a trace of timidity. "How did you come?"

"Hei hei, I tell you, barrow always liked eating ghosts, and so did after his death..." Maka's face suddenly became very gloomy, and her tone of voice dragged on for a long time, looking a little gloomy.

"I saw him passing by just now. Did you see him?"

"Oh! No -"

Pipi screamed and ran through the wall.

"Oh, Marca, you're so cool!" said Ron, and Harry and Neville nodded in agreement.

"Spirit monster?" Hermione was a little strange. "What does this have to do with Pipi ghost? Isn't it a ghost?"

"I asked blood man barrow - Pipi ghost is a noisy ghost, it's not a ghost." Maka shook her head. "It can touch entities, but ordinary ghosts can't do that."

"You talk to blood man barrow! He looks terrible, doesn't he?" Ron said in surprise.

Maka shook her head again. While greeting everyone to walk up, she casually explained: "blood man barrow is a good guy. Don't be frightened by his appearance. He has always been loyal to Hogwarts, both before and after his death. Araho hole is open!"

The others were distracted by his sudden taking out his wand and reciting the spell. They looked back and found that they had unknowingly come to the end of the corridor.

"Go find a place to hide first, at least avoid Phil first..." Maka said and stopped.

"What's the matter, why don't you go in?" Ron asked in a low voice.

"... I think," Marca stepped back, turned his head and smiled awkwardly, "it might be a better choice for us to meet filch."

Maka slammed the door shut again, and there was a deafening roar inside.

"What a big dog," Harry seemed to take a look before the door closed.

"Yes, a dog with only three heads." Maka spread her hands, and then immediately said, "run!"

As if cooperating with Maka's words, the door panel shook violently, and the big dog must have hit it madly inside.

They went back into the corridor and ran away. It was like a gallop. Filch must have been busy looking for them elsewhere. They didn't see him, and they didn't care at all - they just wanted to escape the monster as far as possible.

Harry and his party ran to the portrait of fat lady on the eighth floor before stopping, but they found that Marca was gone.

"I saw him running downstairs. It should be back to hutchpatch's dormitory." Hermione gasped.

In fact, instead of going directly to the dormitory, Maka first went to Hogwarts' kitchen and got something to eat - he didn't eat much dinner. Now he ran back and forth and felt a little hungry.

……

For Maka now, "rest" is a very luxurious behavior, because he always feels that there is not enough time.

After their night trip to Hogwarts with Harry, Marca is back in study and research. Not only is magic medicine, the progress of other subjects should not be too slow, at least not too lax until they are not afraid of actual combat.

After all, there is another Voldemort in the dark! He didn't want to be unable to escape when the Death Eaters attacked.

When the stealth potion is configured, he will break into the forbidden book area at night. If possible, he also wants to study the so-called "black magic" to see what is different from other magic in essence.

Time always slips by inadvertently. When you look back, you find that a lot of changes have taken place around you.

On Halloween, when Maka met the mysterious Slytherin girl in the library again, he found out. Unconsciously, he has spent nearly two months in Hogwarts.

"Excuse me, do you know where the books on 'how to cultivate wrinkled figs' are placed?"

It was a flat tone without ups and downs, a problem almost the same as last time, and standing behind Maka. This made Maka look at the girl silently. After a while, he took one out of the large number of books stacked in front of him and put it in front of the next seat.

"I happen to have it here. You can sit down and read it," Maka suggested softly.

To Maka's surprise, the girl obediently took out the armchair, then put down her notebook and sat down quietly beside Maka. He thought the girl never listened to what others said!

After a while, Maka watched the girl turn over the thick book back and forth, holding a light green feather pen in her right hand, but she didn't write a word in her notebook.

"Is there any difficulty?" Marca couldn't help asking.

"There are too many steps and too many words. I don't know where to start." the girl looked up and said solemnly.

For the first time, Maka saw clearly the mysterious girl's appearance - big round eyes, delicate nose, and delicate skin with almost a sense of transparency, all announcing that she was a very delicate and lovely girl.

Well, as well as a few strands of hair tips looming under the brim of her hat, her hair seems to be white, a kind of white that looks very unhealthy.

She probably didn't like others to see her hair, so she stuffed it all in her pointed hat.

"... remember: wrinkled figs and deciduous plants have strong roots and can survive in winter. The water demand is small, and the watering interval is 1-2 weeks; the fertilizer demand is medium, and the fertilization interval is 3-5 weeks. Dragon manure is the best..."

Maka looked at the book and recalled it. Then she sorted it out and said it step by step. The girl didn't seem to worry that Maka would remember wrong. She wrote it down word by word with a feather pen.

Maka watched the girl write down the last letter and was about to say something, but she suddenly closed her notebook and put the book back on the stack in front of Maka.

Then, in Marca's surprised eyes, she got up silently and left the library without saying a word.

"- again?" Marca touched her nose and whispered to herself. "Is it because I'm too annoying? Or does she don't like other people's help? Or is she simply too introverted?"

When she woke up the next morning, Maka smelled a delicious roast pumpkin floating in the corridor. To be honest, Maka doesn't like pumpkins. He doesn't like all the food made of pumpkins. The smooth taste of pumpkin pulp makes him feel tired of the whole person.

After the first class in the morning, Maka walked through the crowded corridor with everyone. The next class is Professor flavy's spell class, so she had to go upstairs.

"... no wonder everyone can't stand her," Marca suddenly heard Ron's voice in the crowd. "To be honest, she's like a nightmare."

Then he found a girl bumping her head into his arms.

"Oh, Merlin's up! I think it's a little too sudden. I'm not ready yet... Hermione?" Marca looked carefully. This messy long hair is not Miss Granger. Who is it?

"I think she heard you." Marca heard Harry's voice again, but she didn't see where they were.

"Oh, yes, I'm sorry." Hermione didn't seem to realize who she hit.

"Well, it's all right. I mean, what happened, Hermione?" Marca looked down at her and found her eyes red. "Who bullied you?"

"Ah! Maka, no, nothing..."

Hermione looked up at him and couldn't wait to run away. Maka looked at Hermione who soon disappeared into the crowd and felt a little confused - what happened?

It is the so-called "those in the game" that when you are in an environment, you will always ignore something because of the richness and variety of things around you. Until Marca came to the door of the restaurant at dinner time today, he overheard the conversation between two Gryffindor girls.

"... did you see Hermione today?"

"I just found Hermione. She has been crying in the women's bathroom and won't let anyone comfort her."

Maka suddenly regained her mind. When she looked at the colorful Halloween decorations in the restaurant, he reacted - Chilo should have been putting the troll in by now!

"The third floor? Is it Myrtle's bathroom?"

Maka thought and ran back quickly. She didn't feel right until she reached the second floor.

"What's Chilo's purpose... Oh! Magic stone!"

In the past two months, Maka has been devoted to the ocean of magic knowledge and has almost forgotten the magic stone.

"So, where is it convenient to introduce trolls and escape from the crowd?" Marca calmed down and thought for a while, and soon came to the conclusion that Hermione was in the basement!
