"...Yes, this piece is placed right here. Make sure it is aligned with the piece on the opposite side...to the west! Ron, you have to go further to the west and it will be on your right!"

It was already approaching noon, and just when Pansy thought of "Miss Know-It-All" on the second floor of the black market room, the real Miss Know-It-All was in the vestibule of Hogwarts Castle, instructing Ron to place the rune tablets.

To be honest, the weather outside today is pretty good, so it seems a bit of a pity to spend a whole day with the cold stone slabs.

However, putting Ron's thoughts aside for now, at least Hermione didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"Ron, cheer up! This is to protect our school. Even if it is too late to be completed in the end, I don't want it to have any malfunctions during its actual operation. Do you understand?"

It's definitely impossible to be too late, after all, Hermione has reported too much in these five days. But of course, having more time for debugging is naturally the best thing.

And the fact is just as Hermione said, sometimes many things are just fine for daily use, but will fall apart when the critical moment comes.

Accidents always catch people off guard.

"Oh, of course! I understand!" Ron quickly calibrated the tool again and gestured loudly, "I will pay close attention... Oh!"

As he was speaking, he suddenly waved his hand in the direction of the school gate behind Hermione.

"Sirius? Why are you free to come to school?"

Hearing this, Hermione turned around and immediately saw that unruly figure.

"Sirius!"

"Well, good afternoon..." Sirius also waved to the two of them, saying hello very casually, "I think you can guess the purpose of my coming here."

"Yes, I think we can indeed make a rough guess," Hermione freed up a hand and pointed towards the back of the castle, "Maka is in the castle, you know, it's the same guest room."

She first told Sirius the location of Maka, and then said with some helplessness:

"It's just that we can't guess the specific reason why you came to him...and I think you probably won't tell us, right?"

Sirius, who happened to be near Hermione, heard it and couldn't help but smile.

"You are wrong about that," he spread his hands, "I am not Lupin, and I don't think many things need to be avoided in front of young people... What's more, you are not young anymore!"

Having said this, he suddenly turned his head and looked towards Ron again.

"Speaking of which, you Weasley family can't escape this matter this time. I think you can at least come and listen... By the way, where is that boy Longbottom?"

…

Naturally, Maka didn't know about Sirius coming over at this moment.

Although he pays attention to many things at the same time, sometimes he even gives people a feeling of "knowing everything" similar to Dumbledore.

But in the final analysis, it was just because of his previous lifestyle and habits that he paid more attention to the construction of an intelligence network than ordinary people.

He is not a prophet, nor is he an illusory god. He is just an ordinary person who is lucky enough to become a wizard.

And right now, he happened to be dozing off doing something that ordinary people would do.

These days, as the preparations for many things were reaching the last moment, he was really busy to the point where he couldn't spare time to sleep at night.

Otherwise, given his character, he probably wouldn't have let Pansy and Iluli go to the Ministry of Magic.

Just now, he had reorganized several steps for dealing with meteorites. After finishing it, he was quite sleepy and felt that he should at least take a nap to rest instead of continuing to use magic potions to support him.

.

However, this time, he rarely missed an obvious thing. In a state like his, he usually doesn't have a good dream.

"Um... no, Professor Dumbledore, I won't learn this secret method..."

He was lying crookedly on the armchair, half lying and half sitting, with his eyes closed and talking in his sleep. It sounded like he was learning some new magic from Dumbledore in his dream.

It's just obvious that he doesn't seem to like that unknown magic at all.

"No, really...Professor, I don't want to study anymore...Don't come here again! And...I said, put your wig back on!"

Just when Maka said this last sentence in his sleep, several familiar magic waves suddenly came from outside the door, causing him to wake up from his sleep.

"Tuk-tuk."

The next moment he woke up, there was a knock on the door.

He did not open the door immediately, but first rubbed his slightly sour eyes and shook his head subtly.

"Oh!" Maka murmured softly, "Dumbledore is actually bald? If this is true, it would be terrible... Should I go and melt the ice coffin now to check it out?"

After muttering this, he raised his hand and waved towards the door, and the door opened immediately.

"Sirius... you came at the right time! I should thank you."

"What's wrong?"

Sirius looked at Maka and walked in while asking.

"Thank us for what?"

"Well, I just had a nightmare. I dreamed that Professor Dumbledore wanted to teach me a very powerful special secret method. But after learning that secret method, I would..."

Maka stood up and said casually, but then waved her hand again.

"Forget it, forget it! The more I think about it, the scarier it becomes. I'd better not say it anymore. Seeing that you still have time to ask these questions, it shouldn't be something important, right? Do you want to sit down and have a cup of tea?"

"No, no need!" Sirius quickly shook his head and said, "I have been drinking tea almost all morning, and my stomach is already full of water... I am feeling uncomfortable!"

And just as he was answering, Ron and Hermione, who followed behind, seemed to be very interested in the dream Maka was talking about.

They wanted to hear what could actually make Maka feel "scared".

But before the two of them could speak, Maka seemed to have guessed their curiosity and stretched out her hand to stop them from speaking.

"Don't ask, it's just scary!"

After saying that, he waved his hand back and let the teapot jump to the iron frame of the fireplace where the flame had just been lit.

"Anyway, sit down first! There are beds and chairs, you can sit wherever you want!" Maka gestured and then said, "Sirius, if you have anything to say, I'm listening!"

"Then let's get down to business first!" Sirius pulled a small bench against the wall and sat down without restraint. "Actually, I mentioned it just now. I've been in Marl for the whole morning.

Let’s have tea at Fuji’s house! You know, Lucius and I never get along, so we basically didn’t talk.”

"After so many storms, he is obviously much better than before!" Maka shrugged, "Of course, you can think of him whatever you want, I have no objection."

"Maybe it's better! It's not important..." Sirius curled his lips, "This time I went to Malfoy's house mainly because some pure-blood families agreed to get together at his house today to discuss things about them.

The future development direction of the family."

Ron, who had just sat down on the edge of the bed, was surprised when he heard this:

"Sirius? You just said that this matter has something to do with our family...don't tell me that my dad also went to the party, right?"

The Weasley family is well-known as "pure-blood traitors". No matter how you think about it, it is impossible for them to participate in such a pure-blood family meeting. No wonder Ron is so surprised.

"Huh? Oh... no," Sirius immediately shook his head and said, "Of course Arthur didn't go. It's just that although he didn't go, your Weasley family was mentioned in the meeting..."

When he said this, he suddenly turned to Maka.

"Maka, you should already know about the two lives of the McNeil family and the Rohr family, right?" Sirius said, "This gathering of families was mainly caused by that incident. As for me, it was also because of that incident.

Only after finding out the attitudes of those two families would they go to the Malfoy family to join in the fun."

"Yes, I know, Kingsley mentioned it to me." Maka nodded and said, "Why, those two families still suspect that I did it?"

"How can it be!"

When Sirius heard this, he showed a look of contempt on his face.

"Those guys are all very smart! How dare they make trouble after watching the Flint family fall? Let me tell you, this is how it should be treated for those purebloods. The stronger they are, the less they can stand up.

!”

After a short pause, he turned to explain:

"On the contrary, the Rowe family has always been vague about the death of people, and the McNeil family even said in front of Lucius that it was definitely Heerbo's doing. As for why he did this

You are eager to express your attitude in front of the Malfoy family, and you should understand it without me telling you."

Of course Maka can understand that the McNeil family is probably trying to use Lucius's mouth to seek refuge with him.

"If several of their family members didn't work in the Ministry of Magic, they probably wouldn't be so anxious." Maka smiled, "Sirius, don't always look down on them so much. You know, supporting a family can even

Coming from a big family is by no means an easy matter."

"Are you compromising for the sake of your family?" Sirius raised his eyebrows and said, "Maybe a few are like this! However... a pure-blood family is different from an ordinary big family. Think of my miserable Black family!"

I have to admit that what he said is also true. Most of the pure-blood families that have survived to this day and age have some secrets that are speechless.

After a moment, Sirius turned back and said:

"In short, almost nothing was decided at the pure-blood gathering in the morning. There was only one thing. They had a plan... They planned to form a pure-blood family alliance that would remain neutral forever."
