Hogwarts Rising Again

Chapter 304 The Missing Ghost

"Why can't you participate?" Mo Lin was so used to the elusive Magatha that he didn't even bother to reach out and remove the magnifying glass.

"Dumbledore Cup, next Saturday, you have to go with us." Magatha said naturally.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about that."

It was only then that Maureen remembered that there would be a so-called academic competition next Saturday.But recently he is not interested in anything, all his attention is only on the magic leap, and he also thinks about how to defeat his other self.

"You actually forgot about this? This is a very important event!" Magatha was shocked, "Do you know what this academic competition means?"

"I know, the school's honor and so on." Mo Lin said casually, he still didn't know anything about the process of this competition.

Magatha tapped her hand with a magnifying glass and frowned. She seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, she said again: "I came to you today not just for this academic cup."

But Hugo quickly snatched the white from the side: "Don't talk, let me do the math, you are here to study Molin, right!"

Hugo suppressed his voice on purpose, imitating Magatha's clear and doubtful voice, with a lifelike expression, and clasped his hands in a circle, shining on Mo Lin like a magnifying glass.

Both Lily and An Ran couldn't help laughing.They often heard Magatha say this to Maureen, and they were used to it.

Magatha gave Hugo a hard look: "If I were you, I wouldn't be so proud. Your homework in Potions class last week was terrible and needs to be redone. You will know this afternoon."

Hugo opened his mouth and was shocked. He made up the Potions class last week because he burned the cauldron during the class. When Magatha said this, he immediately felt weak and flustered He said calmly, "You...you...don't talk nonsense, okay?"

Magatha showed a disdainful expression.

"Okay, I don't have time to joke with you. I have serious business!"

Magatha fiddled with her curly hair and said, "Molin, I heard that you were the last person to see the bloody Baron last time?"

Maureen nodded: "Well, that's it..."

But he soon felt that something was wrong: "Wait, what is the last person who saw the bloody Barrow?"

Hugo and An Ran also sat up straight, looking at Magatha puzzled.

"You really don't know!" Magatha looked a little smug, but then stomped her feet and whispered, "Damn, you guessed right again."

"What do you mean? Magatha." Mo Lin asked.

Magatha coughed, cleared her throat and said, "The bloody Barrow is missing."

"Missing?" Mo Lin was slightly taken aback, "When did it happen?"

"I don't know. No one cares about where a ghost goes. After all, they are always floating around, and they don't have a fixed dormitory." Magatha disagreed.

Mo Lin felt that something was a little strange. Why did the blood man Barrow come to tell him to find "Crossing Arcane Time and Space" last time, and now he is missing?
Mo Lin asked, "Then how did you know he was missing?"

"Ghost meetings, the ghosts of Hogwarts hold a meeting every month to discuss matters related to ghosts. It's nothing more than some strange ghost gathering activities. It's boring anyway." Magatha didn't care about ghosts Not interested, she continued: "Usually, the blood man Barrow is the host, but yesterday the blood man Barrow didn't come, and those ghosts searched the whole school, but they couldn't find him, so Nick, who was almost headless, went to the principal. gone."

"Maybe he just went out for a walk after being bored at school, and he will be back soon." Lily said beside her.

"There is a possibility. Although they are just ghosts, Principal McGonagall thinks that they are members of Hogwarts after all. Ms. Gray has disappeared, and no one can cause trouble, even if it is just a ghost, so let me count it. thing."

Magatha narrowed her eyes and looked at Mo Lin suspiciously: "I don't know how to count ghosts, because they don't leave any traces when they do things. If there are no traces left, my arithmetic divination will not work. But I I heard that you were the last student to see the bloody Baron."

Many people knew that the prankster Peeves called Master Maureen at noon that day.Now when everyone sees Peeves trying to play tricks on people, some students will tell Peeves loudly, "I am covered by Maureen!", and Peeves will stop when he hears that it is "Master Maureen".

Mo Lin seemed to be the spokesperson of the Bloody Barrow.

"I was indeed the last to see Baron the Bloody, but I don't know where he went. He's from Slytherin, I'm from Gryffindor, and I haven't seen him a few times." Maureen spread his hands, and he told the truth: "I see Nick very often."

"Then why did he look for you? What did he say to you?" Magatha asked.

Mo Lin thought for a moment, then shook his head: "He just asked me about the Forbidden Forest, you know, I went to the Forbidden Forest that day, and he was very curious about it."

"Just because of this?" Magatha bent down, staring at Molin with her big eyes, trying to use a magic formula to figure out whether Molin was lying from his eyes.

But she failed again.

To others, Magatha is like a natural lie detector machine, able to figure out from a person's expression whether the other person is lying or not, and what the real situation is. It is impossible for anyone to lie in front of her.

But only the existence of Mo Lin invalidated all the arithmetic and divination formulas Magatha had learned.

This frustrates Magatha.

"if not?"

Maureen didn't tell the truth, and what Barrow the Bloody Man said to him that day came back to his mind. Knowing that the invisible man would put others in danger, he didn't intend to tell Magatha about it.

Magatha took out the Morin Research Manual, scribbled a few more strokes, and said solemnly, "I don't think you're telling the truth."

"What do you think? I always thought that you like to be rational, but now you are going to be emotional?" Mo Lin deliberately emphasized the word "feel".

Magatha was a little annoyed. She used magic formulas to figure out each other's intentions when communicating with others. She never used such unreliable things as "feeling" and "guessing".

"Pretend I didn't tell you." Magatha closed the manual with a snap, "No matter what, I must do well with what the principal told me. I will observe you for a while to see if you have lied."

Magatha glared at Mo Lin unwillingly. She gradually realized that she would miscalculate Mo Lin every time. On the contrary, if she tried to guess, she could always guess almost exactly.

But with Magatha's absolute belief in arithmetic divination, it is impossible for her to succumb to the word "guess".

Don't guess, absolutely don't guess, even if the sky is falling, refuse to "guess"!Be a principled and proud arithmetic fortune teller unswervingly!
After Magatha left, Maureen fell into deep thought again and began to take this matter seriously.

Bloody Barrow is missing?But why?

"She's gone away." Hugo turned his head, and he asked in a low voice, "Molin, do you know something?"

"I don't even know when the bloody man Barrow left." Mo Lin didn't lie about this, he didn't know the bloody man Barrow, and it was impossible to see what the bloody man Barrow was thinking at that time.

"Maybe he is looking for Helena, after all Helena is the person he likes, isn't it?" An Ran said.

"But Helena disappeared during the summer vacation. If the bloody Barrow wanted to find Helena, why did he wait until now?" Hugo refuted An Ran's opinion.

Morin felt that Hugo was right. It was unlikely that the bloody Barrow left Hogwarts because of Helena, and most likely, like Helena, he was looking for the answer to the so-called invisible man.

So what is the answer of this invisible man?
