Chapter 115 Dumbledore's thoughts
"...Mr. McClain, this is the specific situation," Celine said. "To be honest, my mother only fainted for a moment and woke up quickly. So, we didn't pay too much attention."
"But later on, my mother's health became weaker and weaker... We also visited St. Mungo's many times, but we could never find out the reason."
Maka nodded and suddenly asked: "So, is there nothing else in that swamp?"
Celine shook her head and said: "No... or in other words, we couldn't see anything. After all, the poisonous fog there was too thick and there was no way to go deep."
"Manchak Swamp..." Maka thought carefully, "Ghost Swamp...Voodoo..."
Words popped out of his mouth one by one, which were some information he knew.
But after a while, Maka finally shook her head.
"We have to do some on-the-spot investigation over there in the United States... Send your mother back to the bedroom first, and I'll think of a way... At least I have to get rid of those things attached to the soul first." Ma.
Ka said so.
"...Based on your mother's condition, she has reached a critical point and will never be able to survive our return from the United States."
The problem this time is indeed very troublesome. As far as Maka is concerned, he has no confidence that Celine's mother can fully recover.
Can the soul that has been swallowed up be spit out again?
"It seems that I have to trouble Principal Dumbledore this time..." Maka rubbed her frown and thought to herself.
To be honest, although they are all soul matters, Celine's mother's situation has nothing to do with his own emotional isolation. This matter can already be confirmed.
But judging from an intellectual point of view, it is a matter of course to stay away from such obvious troubles - in fact, Snape is probably doing just that.
But Maka, who has been denying this way of judgment and trying to find her own emotions, did not choose to avoid it.
Besides, he is indeed very interested in things that can only devour souls.
When we came out of the "Snow Witch", it was already snowing heavily outside, and it seemed like it wouldn't stop for a while.
Maka tightened her robe tightly and stared at Fengxue as she walked towards the secret passage...
Hogwarts Castle is still empty, the students are still enjoying their happy holidays, and it will remain empty for a while.
But Dumbledore never had much time for vacation.
At this moment, he was still sorting out various information in the principal's office, and also preparing documents to be sent to the Ministry of Magic. To be honest, throughout the year, Dumbledore had only a few days when he was truly free.
Just as he was immersed in various affairs, he seemed to notice something and suddenly raised his head and looked at the door.
At the same time, after several regular knocks on the door, a voice came in.
"...Professor Dumbledore, my name is Maka McClane, and I need your help with something."
Hearing this voice, the wrinkles on Dumbledore's face seemed to relax.
He has been waiting, waiting for the child McClain to come to him for help - even if it is a small favor.
This child is indeed quite smart and very independent. Judging from the way he interacts with people and handles things, it seems that there is no need to worry too much.
He is not like the original Tom Riddle. He is better and more capable than Tom. But what Dumbledore values is his sincere heart that is deeply hidden.
As a wizard, a wizard who will eventually become powerful, this is particularly important.
But now, the child McClane is embarking on the old path that he once gave up. That path is too bumpy and difficult, and the burdens he has to bear are coming one after another, so much so that Dumbledore himself can't walk on it.
He was really worried about whether this child would be crushed, crushed, and take the wrong path in confusion.
As a teacher who taught students like Voldemort, Dumbledore chose to wait this time.
He will no longer rashly encourage the students he values, but he will not interfere casually or force correction. What he is doing is to believe in a smart child and give him guidance when he actively seeks help.
That's all.
"Please come in." Dumbledore said loudly.
The door opened automatically and Maka quickly walked in without hesitation.
"Professor," Maka said, "You must have heard about the witch yesterday -"
Dumbledore nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"When I went to visit her mother today, I discovered some strange conditions." Maca continued, "I judged that the therapist at St. Mungo's misdiagnosed her mother's illness, so I personally performed a surgery on her mother.
examine."
He emphasized his tone and said seriously: "I found some strange things on her mother's soul - it was a smoke-like thing, they were constantly eating and devouring the soul..."
"And now, her mother's soul is incomplete."
Dumbledore couldn't help but grimace when he heard this.
Devouring souls, anything involving this situation is generally not a trivial matter.
Immediately afterwards, Maka briefly talked about Manchak Swamp, but Dumbledore immediately shook his head.
"I know that place," he said calmly. "You must not go there unless you have to."
After that, he said to Maka: "Bring her mother here...or, do you want me to do something else?"
Maka shook her head and said: "No, it's just this matter. This is a bit beyond my ability - I only have a superficial understanding of the soul."
"There is absolutely no way to start at the moment, and her mother can no longer afford to wait."
Dumbledore stared at Maka for a while, and then said: "Then let's do it, MacLean, bring her to me."
After saying thank you, Macash left in a hurry.
"The mind is firm and the goal is clear..." Dumbledore looked at the closed door and nodded secretly, "I have lost my feelings, but I am not immersed in this efficient and clear mentality. I am still affirming the past.
That self...this is the most precious thing."
…
After New Year's Day, everyone went back to school, and Scabbers unexpectedly returned to Ron's bed, which made him a little happier - but he looked even more listless.
The next day, school started.
Spending two hours in the playground on a cold January morning was the last thing anyone wanted to do; but Hagrid lit up a huge fire filled with fire monsters for everyone's amusement, and the students had a lesson
It was an unusually good lesson - they collected dead branches and leaves to keep the fire going, and the fire-loving lizards jumped up and down on the broken, red wood.
The first divination class of the new semester was much worse than this.
Professor Trelawney was now teaching them palmistry, and she lost no time in telling Harry that the lifeline on his hand was the shortest she had ever seen.
Soon, the morning class was over.
"He still looks sick, doesn't he?" Ron was talking about Professor Lupine, who had the last class in the morning.
They were walking in the corridor and were going to have lunch.
"What do you think happened to him?" Ron asked curiously.
At this moment, there was a loud and impatient "beep" sound behind them. It was Hermione. She had been sitting under a suit of armor, sorting her schoolbag. There were too many books, and the schoolbag could not be closed.
"What are you talking about to us?" Ron asked her impatiently.
"That's the sound of a car horn..." Harry was afraid that Ron wouldn't understand, so he explained.
"Nothing." Hermione said haughtily and put her schoolbag back on her shoulders.
"No, it's something." Ron said, "I just said I didn't know what was wrong with Lupine, so just-"
"Ah, isn't that obvious?" Hermione said, with an air of superiority that drove people mad.
"If you don't want to tell us, then don't tell us!" Ron shouted.
"Okay." Hermione said arrogantly and left.
"She doesn't know," Ron said, glaring angrily at Hermione, "She just wants us to talk to her again."
Harry shrugged and said, "You should be more polite. Didn't Hermione find Professor McGonagall specially for Scabbers... Although Scabbers was missing at the time..."
"Yeah, yeah," Ron sighed, "Okay, I think I should...but, I couldn't help it when I saw her look like that!"
"She also resisted telling Professor McGonagall about the Firebolt. You should also endure it!" Harry is really in a good mood now. He is going to ride the best broomstick on the field!
And recently, he has become more and more proficient in the Patronus Charm, which is also an exciting thing.
"Let's continue talking about Professor Luping..."
One week after the semester started, Ravenclaw and Slytherin played a game.
Slytherin won, but the score was very close.
According to Wood, this is good news for the Gryffindor team. Because if Gryffindor beats Ravenclaw, it can still occupy the second place.
So Wood increased the training time to five times a week - meaning Harry only had two nights a week to do homework.
Even so, Harry didn't look as tired as Hermione.
Hermione had taken too many classes, and the course load was finally starting to show on her.
Every night, Hermione would always appear in a corner of the common room, with various textbooks spread out on several tables in front of her: arithmetic charts, various magical dictionaries, illustrations of Muggle lifting heavy objects, and various ranges
Extensive notes... She rarely talks to others, and if someone disturbs her, she speaks in a bad voice.
"How did she cope?"
Ron muttered to Harry one evening as he was finishing a paper assigned by Snape on various undetectable poisons.
Harry looked up and saw Hermione sitting behind a pile of crumbling books, almost out of sight.
"She looks like Maka lately..." Harry said, "Well... what to deal with?"
