Hogwarts Rising Again

Chapter 276 Magatha's Arithmetic
Maureen originally wanted to go to the library, but met a familiar person on the stairs on the fifth floor.

"Magatha, I thought you went to relieve the water retrograde with Professor Victor." Maureen saw Magatha sitting on the stairs in a contemplative state, and greeted him aloud.

Magatha frowned, and when she saw Maureen, her eyes lit up.

"Don't talk!"

Magatha jumped up with a "swish", and ran towards Mo Lin with the magnifying glass, and began to observe Mo Lin with the magnifying glass.

"I figured you were going upstairs next, didn't I?" Magatha asked.

He is already walking on the stairs, what is he doing if he doesn't go upstairs?Does this still count?

But Mo Lin felt that it was better not to mention this point.

"That's right! You're right!"

Mo Lin reached out again and pushed away the magnifying glass that had touched his nose.

"Damn it!" Magatha stomped angrily.

"What's the matter? Are you not happy after the calculation is correct?" Mo Lin asked.

"It's not worth being happy, on the contrary, you should be ashamed!" Magatha gritted her teeth and glared at Mo Lin.

"Why be ashamed?"

Mo Lin touched his nose innocently, why did it seem to be his fault again?

"Because... because I guessed right just now." Magatha blushed.

"Isn't it right to guess?" Mo Lin asked strangely.

"My God! Guess right? Guess? Don't insult me!" screamed Magatha.

Mo Lin quickly raised his hands: "I don't quite understand this, I didn't insult you, did I?"

"I'm an arithmetic seer! Maureen, an arithmetic seer!" Magatha said loudly, her voice as loud as a female unicorn: "Arith seers advocate magic arithmetic, we all use calculations, It's not about guessing, 'guessing one thing' is the greatest insult to us!"

Looking at Magatha's appearance, she seemed to want to crush the word "guess" on the ground.

Mo Lin suddenly realized, and he comforted him casually: "Actually, it doesn't matter. Sometimes guessing is more accurate than arithmetic divination. Life is full of uncertainties. If you calculate correctly what will happen next, there will be no surprises, right? ?”

"Surprise? We arithmetic fortune tellers don't need surprises!" Magatha snorted.

Arithmetics may have no friends.

Maureen couldn't help complaining.

Think about a friend who wants to throw a surprise party for you on your birthday, but the arithmetic fortune-teller looks at your friend's eyes and has already calculated everything, knowing who will jump out from behind the sofa next.

Wow, what a surprise.

"Your arithmetic divination is actually similar to the essence of divination. You can see things that others can't see. Sometimes it's not a big deal to get it wrong." Mo Lin comforted.

Magatha retorted: "We are different from divination! What we can see is real, not as general as divination. Who will be defeated by whom, when and how, the fortuneteller can't tell, too Fake what they did."

"That's not necessarily true." Mo Lin thought of Mrs. Rhea. Mrs. Rhea's divination skills are very superb. Her crystal ball can see many specific things. He said pertinently: "Some fortune-tellers are still very powerful."

Magatha made a mocking nasal sound, she obviously looked down on the Seer.

Mo Lin didn't intend to argue with Magatha on this issue. He thought for a while and asked, "By the way, since you are so good at arithmetic and divination, can you figure out the origin of the sculpture outside the castle? Can you figure out what is in the depths of the Forbidden Forest?"

Magatha glanced at Mo Lin, and then said: "Arithmetic fortunetellers can't calculate everything, we can only calculate specific things."

"But you must know something, right?" Mo Lin asked, "I think the school must have asked you and Professor Victor to settle this matter. After all, you are very observant and can interact with expressions without talking. You can see what the other person thinks..."

Mo Lin still felt that the facial expressions among the arithmetic fortunetellers were very strange.

"That's the quality that a real arithmetic fortune-teller needs! Thank you for saying that." Magatha sounded a little happier, and said, "I did count. On the second day of school, Principal McGonagall let me go gone."

it is as expected.

"Then what did you figure out? I don't remember this thing being recorded in the school history." Mo Lin said.

Magatha hesitated for a moment, as if she felt that she had nothing to hide from Mo Lin, she said: "That stone door is very strange, it belongs to the four founders, it is true, because it is very special, so the four founders all Without leaving any historical materials, they don't want others to care about this door."

"Don't want others to care about this door? Why?" Mo Lin asked curiously.

"I can't count the thoughts of people who didn't appear in front of me!" Magatha raised her voice, "I don't know why, I only know that this door contains an aura that I don't want to be discovered."

"Oh." Mo Lin nodded, it is already very good for Magatha to be able to count to this point.

After a while, Magatha said again: "This door has a long history, with a history of 2898 years. It will only appear at special moments."

"A special moment?" Maureen was puzzled. "What is a special moment? I remember that it didn't show up when Hogwarts was hit hard more than 20 years ago. Isn't that a special moment?"

"It has nothing to do with the school. It's not to protect the school, but to prevent a certain thing from happening. It seems that something big is about to happen." When Magatha said this, there was a trace of doubt in her eyes, "I don't know how to describe it. , but when I calculated it, I felt the same, I couldn’t see what would happen, but I just felt inexplicable heart palpitations.”

Maureen opened his mouth, and Magatha's statement seemed a bit mysterious.

"And it's related to something deep in the Forbidden Forest!" Magatha added.

"It's related to something deep in the Forbidden Forest?" Mo Lin was even more puzzled, and he asked, "Does Principal McGonagall know what is deep in the Forbidden Forest?"

"I don't know, none of us know, but that's why it looks very strange." Magatha frowned, "Something must have happened in the depths of the Forbidden Forest, but it doesn't belong to the territory of wizards. There are horses in the Forbidden Forest." Humans and other magical humanoid creatures exist."

Even Principal McGonagall doesn't know?
This is really weird.

"But that's not the point!" Magatha said loudly with resentment on her face: "The point is why I can't figure out what you're going to do next?"

"I'm going upstairs next time, didn't you figure it out?" Mo Lin spread his hands and pointed to the stairs behind him.

"I didn't figure it out! I guessed it out, and that doesn't count!" Magatha said angrily, "It's the greatest insult to me to guess something!"

Mo Lin sighed, how could the brains of arithmetic fortune tellers not learn to turn around?
