"Maka."

"Um?"

Hearing Harry call her, Maka immediately turned her head and cast a questioning look at him.

But the other party quickly shook his head again.

"...No, it's nothing." He said.

But it was obvious that the expression on Harry's face at this moment could not be concealed by a simple "nothing".

Then, Harry saw his eyes return to the broken body deep in the auditorium, and his pair of emerald eyes inherited from his mother became exceptionally deep.

Maka subconsciously touched the bag on her lower back, and then nodded silently to herself, as if confirming something again - his "Book of Sin" notes were lying there quietly.

.

"Let's go! No matter what twists and turns 'it' has had in the past, it is obviously dead now. And anyone who is dead must have embarked on a new journey... While there is still time,

It’s enough, let’s go walk some more elsewhere in the castle!”

Maybe...or "definitely".

When Maka and Harry saw the black mutilated corpse, they must have suddenly realized something in their hearts. However, neither of them spoke out about this matter, but both made a tacit choice.

Leave your thoughts where they belong.

"good."

Harry responded and learned the previous lesson. This time he took the lead and walked through most of the auditorium with his sword, then strode to the right towards the side hall door.

Maka also clung to Harry's back.

Of course, in the process, the two of them obviously inevitably got closer to the podium, and at the same time, they also got closer to the terrifying mutilated body full of doubts. However, neither of them looked sideways as they passed by the podium.

Go and take a look at it.

"Squeak——"

"Kacha."

As the door was gently pushed open and then slowly closed behind the two of them, everything in the auditorium was locked in their memories... at least for the time being.

"We'd better choose a few locations first. After all, the school is quite big, isn't it?" Maka and Harry stood side by side in the corridor outside. After looking at both sides, they casually said, "Harry,

Where do you think we should go first?"

Although Maka is acting very relaxed at the moment, in fact, the current situation between the two of them may not be that good.

The black fog that disappeared without a trace in the auditorium reappeared wherever it left. Although the fog in this corridor was not too thick, as long as you looked at both ends of the corridor, it looked like

Telling them that they are about to step into the abyss of mist that makes them unable to see their fingers.

It had been confirmed just now when passing through the black fog at the main entrance of the auditorium. Even Maka's perception ability was greatly limited in the dark fog, otherwise he would not have shown any signs of violence.

hesitated.

As for Harry, the challenges he will face are naturally more severe.

But at this moment, Harry didn't show any hesitation.

"Go to the eighth floor first, and then search from top to bottom!" He said solemnly, "Although Hermione said that you don't have to be deliberate, at least under no unavoidable circumstances, I still want to do my best to ensure that the entire

How safe the plan is.”

The so-called "ensuring safety" naturally does not ensure the safety of him and Maka, but the safety of Hermione and Luna who will come later.

"Well, I agree with this too." Maka agreed happily.

…

The moving staircase, which was enchanted by Rowena Ravenclaw, had been completely shut down since the castle was partially destroyed and rebuilt.

Until now, although this castle that once left glorious traces in the history of magic has a new owner who is powerful enough, the "owner" does not seem to have had the idea of ​​repairing it.

But maybe because of this, at least Maka and Harry didn't have to walk blindly through the maze-like movable staircase - the two of them flew directly from the middle to the eighth floor.

Naturally, the two of them had nothing to say about their memories of this school. Even though they were completely immersed in absolute darkness where vision failed along the way, they didn't go the wrong way at all just by occasionally touching the furnishings around them along the way.

"Hmm... Thirteen feet long, embroidered with bouquet, this is it," Maka said softly, stroking the old fiber texture on one side of the corridor, "I hope our Mr. Barnabas won't be here today.

He was beaten, even though I couldn’t see it.”

"You can't see it, and neither can the troll."

Harry in the darkness received a rare chat from Maka.

There was no way, even with Harry's endurance, which had been tempered for many times, it was natural to feel pressure in such an environment where he was in darkness and could encounter powerful enemies at any time.

So much so that even he who had repeatedly chosen to avoid having too many conversations with Maka could not help but start a fight now.

"Yes! Well, is that really the case?"

Also in the darkness, Maka seemed to be quite happy that Harry finally took the initiative to talk to her, and her tone of voice became obviously lighter.

But he actually knew in his heart that the stupid Barnabas on the tapestry at hand would definitely not be beaten by the troll again. Not only this tapestry, in fact most of the magic tapestry and portraits in the castle were already

It lost its original "vitality" and became no different from those works in the Muggle world.

Just thinking like this... would be too lonely, and would also have a negative impact on the morale of the two of them, so it's better not to care about some insignificant truths.

"Then, the 'non-existent thing' will still let it not exist, let's continue walking!"

Maka and Harry did not go to the other side of the tapestry to "look". Besides, they couldn't see anything now, and even turning their heads was unnecessary.

After stopping for a while to chat to relieve their tense nerves, the two of them continued to move forward.

"You're already here, let's go to the principal's office by the way!" Maka said casually.

To be honest, in the entire Hogwarts castle, the principal's office is actually not a place with many secrets - there are many more mysterious places in the school!

Back then, each of the four founders had their own rooms, and the principal's office was also the office location chosen by the first independent principal of Hogwarts after he took office. In order to show that his salary was not higher than that in the school.

Anyone who has ever chosen a bland old storage room for their office.

It was only when the portraits of the previous principals were hung there that it gradually became very special.

"Suddenly I miss those strange passwords given by Professor Dumbledore." Maka muttered as she walked.
