Chapter 560: Jerky

"This……"
In that small attic, Maca held a lantern in her hand, and circled in it. It can be seen that the four walls of this attic are engraved with unusually dense alchemy symbols. Some of them are connected with each other by lines, while others stand alone and appear extremely complicated.
Looking at the symbols, Maca also had a headache.
He had studied it before, and the symbols of alchemy had very different rules of representation from the various ancient magical runes he had learned. Compared with the runes of ancient magic literature, the symbols of alchemy are more of material elements with practical significance than the so-called "meaning" of the subjective spirit of ancient magic scripts.
In fact, Muggle's chemical theory is derived from a leapfrog development branch of alchemy. If they are both, there may be more similarities.
"Mr. McLean?" Old Edward couldn't help trying to call him when he saw Marka not talking, just staring at the walls.
"Huh?" Marka turned back subconsciously. "Oh, sorry! I look a little fascinated ... Speaking of this, every time Mr. LeMay enters his laboratory, will he play this little game here?" "
"Small game?" The old housekeeper was quite unclear, so he said, "What do you mean? I only know that when the owner usually returns to the laboratory, he will use his wand to click a few times on these four walls. It's the same. I never figured it out. "
"At least for Mr. LeMay, this is a small game." Maca shrugged. "You should understand-use it to review your basics of alchemy, just like wizards often use Runi. Text combination to make a password like that. "
"Oh, that's it—" said old Edward thoughtfully, "I've never been talented in alchemy, and the master hasn't taught me some basic knowledge, but it's a lot when I come up. Symbol, where do I remember? "
"It's really not easy!" Maca nodded in understanding.
He did not remember the symbols himself, but because he had memorized a lot of messy ancient runes, and some of the alchemy symbols directly inherited some ancient characters, which would inevitably make him concrete. Meaningless.
Therefore, he did not try to memorize many symbols of alchemy. Because he knew very well that the direction of his research was not the system of alchemy at all, and he did not have more energy to spend on it.
The reason why alchemy is also a development branch of the wizard is because these two dissimilar systems have a common research point. In magicology, it is called "soul magic"; in alchemy, it is defined as a basic element-soul element.
It can be seen that although these two systems have very different developments in the study of matter, they have similarities in spirit.
"Mr. McLean, what do you think about this ... well, this 'mini-game'? Is there any solution?" Old Edward asked helplessly.
Maca hesitated for a moment, then shook her head slightly.
"I don't know yet ... Actually, I don't have much research on alchemy," he said, "but it doesn't seem to be completely hopeless, I think ... I'll spend more time on it."
As he spoke, he pulled out a book and carefully checked it against a form above. It can be said that if the puzzle on the wall is interpreted completely from the perspective of alchemy, he has no possibility to solve it; but if some theories of soul magic are used as the reference point to directly analyze the puzzle itself, The results are not certain.
Soon, Maca devoted herself to research, and stopped talking to the old housekeeper.
...
All night long, Maca's life was extraordinarily long, and Harry's side was definitely not good. To be precise, he has insomnia!
The sky had shone slightly, and Harry felt that he might be the first to discover the dawn of Hogwarts, even before Filch, who was in charge of the vigil patrol.
In the boys' bedroom in the Gryffindor Tower, Harry lay wide on his bed, his eyes widened, and even those eyes were not bloodshot, but he couldn't sleep.
Since learning the technique of cerebral occlusion, he sleeps very sweetly every day. How can I know that he has insomnia again today. Compared to waking up with a scar on his forehead, he felt quite uncomfortable last night. Voldemort was no longer in his head, and some were just the figure of the red-haired girl.
"Ha! Another day!"
Harry sat up helplessly on the slatted bed, and held his bent knees again. This night, he lay down and sat countless times, but still didn't let him leave the confusion in his head.
He still remembers that Ron suddenly got up inexplicably in the night, half-opened with sleepwalking, and asked him what to do when the spider was forced to perform tap dance. Hell, how did he know what to do?
At that time, he was so upset that he let Ron go and talk to the spiders directly. What else can I do? Don't jump if you don't want to jump!
Who would have thought that Ron would suddenly lie back and fall asleep again.
Is that guy going to negotiate with the spiders in a dream? Harry didn't know, and didn't want to know at all, because his head was already full of Ginny Weasley.
Is this a feeling of love? No, Harry thought it was not, at best it was just an emotional upset by the situation.
"For Ginny, if you like it, you must like it, but this is probably not the kind of love between men and women."
Harry thought so, trying to persuade himself in this way, so as not to make himself sleepless all night and all night. But he found that this didn't work, whether he couldn't sleep or he couldn't sleep at all!
He sighed, and immediately lifted the quilt, putting on his own clothes. As for the glasses, it was already mounted on the bridge of the nose as long as the day was not bright.
When he had cleared himself up, Harry relaxed and quickly left the bedroom. Although upset, there is no need to let this chaotic mood affect other students, they are all still sleeping!
"what!"
Just at the exit from the bedroom to the common room, Harry gave a quick step, but the next moment he wanted to give himself a slap.
Yes, he saw that someone in the common room arrived earlier than him, and that was a girl. However, it was not Ginny who did not react in his first reaction, but her good friend Hermione!
God! What happened to myself? What do you think of this so you can think of Hermione as Ginny?
"Harry?" Hermione heard his whisper, and turned away from her chair. "Good morning, uh ... what's wrong with you?"
Harry knew that his eyes must be red as if bleeding, because he could clearly feel the sourness in them.
"No, it's okay--" He blinked vigorously, perfunctoryly.
"Did you sleep?" Hermione thought for a while, "Oh, it was because of yesterday evening? I heard someone said, you thought yesterday that it was a gust of wind towards the dormitory ... let me guess, because You bumped into Ginny? "
Hermione's head had always been clever, let alone the fact that she had caused it in the first place. Obviously, she could not guess it.
"... well, that's right."
Harry hesitated, and finally nodded weakly. As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes and walked to Hermione, sitting down casually.
"That said, you went to meet her, but you failed?" Hermione reluctantly said, "Otherwise, I'm going to create a less obtrusive opportunity for you today?"
Harry waved his hand quickly, signalling that he didn't need it. That feeling will come again? No, one time is enough for him. He doesn't feel like trying the second time.
Seeing this, Hermione flattened her mouth angrily ~ EbookFREE.me ~ and glanced at Harry.
"Is it so difficult? Don't you think that inviting a girl to date is the ability that any guy should have?"
"No, I said it yesterday-it's not like that." Harry closed his eyes with a headache. "Okay, okay! I'll try again today, the last time--"
"I don't think so!"
Harry had just finished saying that, and a voice suddenly sounded from behind them.
"Ginny?" Hermione was surprised for a moment before she apologized. "Oh, I'm not ..."
"No, it's okay, I understand." It was Ginny who came. I didn't expect her to get up so early today, and her face seemed a little tired, "Hermione, I know you are kind But I don't think it's necessary to do this. Harry likes who is his business, and I don't want to force him to do something for personal reasons. In that case, it is not true Harry. "
"Ginny……"
While looking at her, Harry gradually realized the sincerity in her expression. Just as different people show different personalities in love, what Ginny shows may be an emotion called "understanding".
It can be seen that she still likes Harry, but she doesn't have to like Harry. Rather than eagerly chasing her, she hoped that Harry would like her with her own will. Even if it did not end up, Harry would still be her favorite Harry in her memory.
"You ..." Harry opened his mouth and hesitated a few more times before trying to ask, "Do you like me? Uh ... you know, I've always been a little slow."
This is probably the first time he has tried to understand Ginny's idea, because at this moment, he is really moved by the "understanding" shown by Ginny.
