Chapter 23: Timid Malfoy

The temporary selection test came to an end with an unsurprising ending, and Maca successfully became one of the youngest players in the history of Hutchpacz and Hogwarts.
According to his strength, this title has to be added with the word "strongest" to make it more accurate.
As expected by Maca, his study time has really shrunk significantly. But the training plan was very substantial. As Maca became more familiar with the various formations, Darren designed a new practical tactics. This is the strongest Hitchpatch in years, so they also have the idea of ​​competing for the Quidditch Cup!
新 This new tactic is the latest winning strategy arranged around the basic score. It can be said that the joining of Maca has made everyone eager for the Quidditch Cup, which is rarely seen in the low-key boys.
Because of this, the members of the team unanimously expressed that they would never go out. In the next showdown with Slytherin College, Maca will appear as a surprise soldier, and you must beat the snakes who always like to do small moves!
As a result, Maca seemed particularly busy in the days to come. Either in the library or at the Quidditch Stadium, whenever Maca starts practicing, there will always be several senior Hitchparch seniors wandering around the stadium. It seems that this surprise plan is really implemented thoroughly by these industrious and low-key uncles.
Unconsciously, Christmas is coming.
On a particularly cold morning, everyone found Hogwarts covered with a thick layer of snow. The beautiful white scenery outside the window is telling everyone that the first snow of Hogwarts this year has been unknowingly sent to the ground in everyone's sleep.
There was a layer of hard ice on the lake behind the castle, and the students rejoiced. The sledges stacked in the utility room are finally ready to be used, so you don't need to take the dangling boat when Christmas holidays!
The Weasley twin brothers have recently been punished for enchanting a few snowballs, making them chase around Chilo, and accidentally hit him on the back of his turban. .
At that moment, Maca was just passing by a window upstairs, and the scene seemed to make him feel happy, Voldemort's bad luck!
A few owls delivered mail in the snowy night, and experienced many hardships, even losing their feathers. They must rest for a while under Hagrid's care before they can continue their work.
It seems that Omaha's owl Mafa is very new to snowy days. This may be because in its hometown, Sumatra, you can never see the scenery of ice and snow!
Maca watched it hovering at high altitudes, sometimes flapping its wings to climb high, and sometimes swooping low. From a distance, it seems that no one would think that it was just an owl.
In recent nights, Maca has been walking in the forbidden area, and her understanding of black magic has gradually deepened. But he still has no plans to study the most dangerous banned books. He thinks that the time has not yet come, and there is no need to ask for trouble.
So, while accumulating a little bit of experience in preparing potions, he started to compete with deformation. To be precise, this is a long and endless road to death with various biological and non-biological materials.
Since there are no shortcuts, I have to learn Hermione. At least, the research and memory of various materials can also help the progress of potions to a certain extent.
Speaking of which, Christmas has holidays.
教授 Prof. Sprout came to register the students who stayed on campus last week. Maca hesitated and signed it. He intends to visit Luna during the holidays. He has been busy since the beginning of school. It is also a good choice to go out and relax at Christmas.
Alas, he found that since his patron saint practiced, he had missed a little bit of Luna. He felt that he should have a sister-like emotion to Luna!
It's impossible to say that he is actually a loicn?
不 "No no no, this is absolutely impossible." Maca shook her head and was amused at her thoughts.
Now, Maca was on her way to the potion class classroom. He had a few questions to ask Snape.
But when he hurriedly walked around the corner of the corridor, he found a huge Hagrid-he was purring and hugging a fir tree larger than him.
He originally blocked the spacious corridors so tightly that he couldn't get through.
"Hey, Hagrid, do you need help?" In the gap between the branches, a head pierced across, it seemed Ron.
"No, I can do it, thank you, Ron."-Sure enough, Ron.
"Can you get out of the way, don't stand in the way?" Maca suddenly heard Malfoy's cold, dragging voice coming from behind the fir tree.
"Do you want to make a few pocket money, Weasley? I was thinking, you probably want to go to the hunting field after graduating from Hogwarts? Hagrid's cabin is compared to your original home, It must look like a palace! "
Ron's head receded from the branch immediately, and Malfoy's satire remarkably offended him.
"Weasley!" Maca heard Snape's voice.
"Someone provoked him first, Professor Snape." Hagrid stuck his shaggy head from behind the tree and said, "Malfo just insulted his family."
"Anyway, it's against Hogwarts school rules by hand, Hagrid." Snape said in a smooth tone. "It's a wise choice to take the initiative to penalize like McLean. Five points deducted. Weasley, you should be thankful that I didn't punish you to clean the trophy. Alright, let's go, you all. "
When Malfoy aside, when he heard the name "McLean", he immediately showed a gritted teeth, and it seemed that he hated Maca lightly.
他 When he took Crabbe and Gore deliberately rudely past the tree, knocked the needles off the ground, and walked forward with annoyed faces, he saw Maca.
Malfoy immediately removed the anger from his face, pretending to walk across the hall from the other side. But his deliberately staying away from Maca exposed the timidity in his heart.
"It seems that the effect of punishment is still there."
Marka glanced back, but happened to meet Malfoy's hateful look. He saw Maca looking over, and immediately turned his head back.
"... but maybe not enough." Maca smiled, and then went forward.
"Professor Snape, excuse me," Maca said to Snape, who was heading for the restaurant. "I don't know if you have time to help me answer a few questions about potions."
Snape turned around and looked at Maca coldly before raising his chin to signal that he wanted to ask.
"Oh, that's it--"
Just at the stall where Maca asked, Ron couldn't help but whispered to Harry: "I really admire Maca, I can still ask questions normally under the eyes of Snape's frozen dead ..."
"Look at me, when Snape's best attitude is when Maca goes to ask him questions." Harry took a moment to glance at Snape's expression, and then continued, "It doesn't seem to be much better . "
"I can't even understand the progress of Maca in the potion class," Hermione said with regret, "Although I often go to him to discuss some topics, I have nothing in his notebook recently. can not read it."
In fact, in the recent situation, although Maca was talking to Snape to ask questions, in the end, it would basically become a discussion of a certain potion theory. While Maca learned a lot, in fact, Snape also got some more innovative inspiration in the topic.
Of course, the amount of knowledge of the potion master is not a joke. In most cases, the discussion ends with Snape's correction of Maca.
What I have to mention is that in Snape's deep heart, it seems that there is gradually a shadow of the student Maca. Because in many discussions, UU reading www.uukanshu.com he keenly noticed that Maca had a philosophy of magical research that was almost in line with him-ignoring all standards of good and evil for the purpose.
他们 In their hearts, black magic and white magic have no substantial distinction and can be used. The difference lies only in the ethics of the users, and nothing more.
Maybe even Snape didn't realize it, but Snape, who had been trapped in the more terrible darkness, noticed it.
After dissolving the doubts encountered in the research, Ma Ka and Snape said individually, and then came to the Harry trio who was waiting for him. Behind him, Snape stared at his back expressionlessly for a while, before turning abruptly to the restaurant.
I'm afraid that only Dumbledore really understood what Snape was thinking.
玛 When Maca came to Hermione, they were talking to Hagrid.
"Oh! You're finally done, just follow me to the restaurant to see! It's amazing!" Hagrid laughed happily, the fir tree in his arms trembling with his laughter , More conifers have fallen.
"I'll help you Hagrid, you're going to shake the needles on it!" Maca pulled out her wand and cast a floating spell, allowing the fir tree to float on top of everyone's heads, and followed him.
哦 "Oh-no need, I mean, thank you," Hagrid said embarrassedly.
Alas, Harry, Ron, and Hermione followed Hagrid and his fir tree and came to the auditorium with Maca. Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick are both there, busy decorating Christmas decorations.
"Aha! What a great floating mantra, Mr. McLean," Professor Flitwick said happily. "Let it be in that corner-that corner, okay? This is the last one."
