Hogwarts Rising Again

Chapter 602 Conclusive Evidence
Mo Lin had already walked back from the divination tower, and the thoughts in his mind were spinning rapidly. For some reason, the raging anger in his heart calmed down at this moment.

"But——I haven't heard that magic can be cast like this?" Sweet still didn't quite believe Maureen's deduction.

"No, you've seen it, we've all seen it," Mo Lin said.

"When?"

"The night the Stone Arch was opened, the night Magatha was attacked, or anytime, in fact, we should have thought of it long ago. Any wizard is no stranger to this kind of magic, but he just didn't think about it carefully."

Maureen picked up the extremely thick book from his schoolbag, which was the book that Anok had opened.

"What if Mars went into an octave orbit?" Sweet asked.

"It's never a good thing."

Mo Lin rubbed his chin, he was thinking, now he is only one step away from the truth, as long as he proves that point, then all the truth will be revealed.

"Who do you suspect?" Sweet asked, frowning.

Mo Lin didn't speak, his heart was as calm as a cold stone.

-

During Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the afternoon, Mo Lin sat in the last row as usual. He didn't have time to attend the class, but was just flipping through his book.

Hugo and Sweet were sitting next to him. Sweet was thinking about what Maureen said, while Hugo was full of doubts. He knew even less than Sweet.

"You mean that when Mars reaches the eight-degree orbit, something will happen to the stone arch?" Hugo asked.

"Yes."

"What does the accident at the stone arch have to do with me?" Hugo asked puzzled.

"Odea said that to you, didn't she?"

"But we don't know what the octave orbit means. Professor Sinista said that this is an ancient saying that can no longer be investigated." Hugo said.

"I have found out this statement." Mo Lin said simply.

Hugo immediately became interested. When the centaur Odea mentioned this to him, he still felt it was very strange. He deliberately read many boring astronomy books, but he failed to find out the meaning.

The sudden mention of this in Trelawney's prophecy made him suspicious and curious.

"I always thought it was just Trelawney talking nonsense - well, what the hell does that mean? On my birthday or something?" Hugo asked impatiently.

"It means a day in March."

"March? Isn't that the month? What day is it?"

"This is what I need to figure out." Morin said, "The only thing I'm sure of is that there are two days that meet this requirement, but I can't be sure which day it is."

"Which two days?"

"Give me time to investigate to be sure," Mo Lin said.

Hugo was surprised: "Do you think this matter has something to do with me?"

"I don't know what it has to do with you yet, but I found a fear-based magic in a book in the restricted area. This magic will become very powerful that night. If someone sees him , it’s like seeing what that person fears the most.”

Maureen said in a low voice.

Hugo exclaimed: "Oh, you mean that Rose and the others who were attacked were all because of this evil magic?"

"Yes, this magic will turn people into what I fear the most, but I don't realize it." Mo Lin said.

"Ability similar to Boggart?" Sweet asked.

"Almost, but scarier than a Boggart."

"But who could it be? Who would do such a thing?" Hugo still couldn't figure it out, "Who would attack Rose and the others for no reason? They didn't do anything wrong, did they?"

"You've made up your mind, haven't you?" Sweet asked.

Mo Lin was silent for a long time before he said: "I don't have evidence, as long as I find that evidence, I can confirm what I think."

"What evidence?"

Maureen picked up a pen and drew a very weird symbol on the paper. This symbol was like a W letter pierced by an arrow from the middle.

He said: "I have been looking for this symbol. If you cast this fear magic on people, when the magic hits the victim, a magic trace will be left somewhere around the victim's position. This magic trace is Invisible, it looks like this, and the fire spell will make it appear."

"Then have you found this magic trace?" Hugo asked again.

Maureen shook his head: "I haven't found it yet, maybe it's covered by something, or it's in an imperceptible place, because I don't know where Rose and the others got the magic."

"We can ask where she went before she was attacked that day, and search for each place." Hugo said immediately.

Sweet was pondering, he was not as impatient as Hugo, but asked, "What if we find this trace of magic?"

Mo Lin said slowly: "If I find this magic trace, it means that I can confirm whether the person I suspect is right, and I can further find out what he is going to do."

"The pattern is familiar—"

Sweet pulled Molin's parchment over, looked at it for a long time, and suddenly said in surprise: "Wait, I remembered, Professor Singer used this pattern in a certain class, you won't—"

Maureen lowered his head and took a deep breath.

"Are you really doubting him?" Sweet looked at Maureen incredulously, "What are you thinking! How could it be him?"

Sweet is very aware of Anok's strengths. Not only is Anok good in class, his magic level is also top-notch, and he is easy-going and easy-going. He doesn't believe that Mo Lin would suspect Arnold Gram.

"I have no evidence." Mo Lin said in a low voice.

"I don't understand what you think! You know him better than anyone, don't you? You spend more time with him than anyone else, don't you know what kind of person he is?" Sweet wrinkled Said with a frown.

"Sometimes I don't even know who I really know." Mo Lin said disappointedly.

Hugo, who was beside him, was also very surprised. He said anxiously: "But what about this matter? Professor Singer's class is my favorite, and I even quit the divination class on purpose, just to take his class. Just because he doesn’t assign useless papers means he’s not a bad guy—”

"You think things too simply." Mo Lin shook his head.

"This is just your speculation." Sweet said sullenly.

"That's why I need evidence. I don't have evidence. I only know what this mark means because I have been with him for the longest time. If I can really find this mark, it will confirm what I think in my heart." Mo Lin slowly said Said.

"Then shall we tell Professor Francis about this?" Hugo glanced up at Professor Francis who was explaining a kind of tree that can electrocute people not far away, and said in a low voice: "This kind We can't do it alone."

Maureen shook his head: "I don't want him to help."

"Why?" Hugo was puzzled.

"Because you want to face Professor Singer by yourself?"

Sweet saw through Maureen's mind.

"This matter can only be done by me. You just need to help me find this fear magic imprint and confirm the guess in my heart. I will solve the rest by myself."

Maureen closed the book.
