The Silent Witch of Hogwarts

Chapter 175 Traveling with Lupin

Chapter 175 Traveling with Lupin

It was another early morning. Wearing a magic hat and a black robe, Loila walked through the forest, carefully observing her surroundings with her wand in hand.

Behind her followed Lupin, who had a smile on his face.

Why is Royla with Lupin?

It's definitely related to the magic circle.

Mr. Lupin sent a letter a few days after returning from Knockturn Alley in Loila.

In this letter, Mr. Lupin first inquired about Voldemort, and it is clear that Dumbledore had told him about it.

Mr. Lupin was unusually serious in his letter. He hoped that Loila would not be so reckless, but he was also glad that Loila had resolved the matter.

That jerk Dumbledore—

Following this, Mr. Lupin provided a very important clue.

"I discovered a site in the mountains of Greece—it might be related to a magic circle. Would you like to come and see it?"

'

"certainly!"

Almost instantly, Loila waved her wand to summon her hat and cloak, then jogged to the outside of Hogwarts Castle and used Apparition.

The speed of their actions startled Mr. Lupin. — Thinking of this, Loila blushed slightly and pursed her lips. Why did she always end up in such awkward situations?

Could it be that the curse of Defense Against the Dark Arts is actually meant to bring bad luck? — Loila thought about it carefully; she had always been unlucky.

But none of that matters anymore! I'm going to—

"Ouch!" Loila was pondering the magic circle when she slipped and tripped over a tree trunk. Luckily, she quickly waved her wand to keep herself from falling.

"Are you alright?" Seeing this somewhat comical scene, Lupin couldn't help but smile.

"N-nothing!" Loila patted her robe and stood up hastily. It would have been so embarrassing if she had fallen to the ground! She was already an adult, so why was she acting like a child?

Seeing Loira's embarrassment, Lupin coughed and changed the subject: "We're almost there."

"Ah—that's great." Loila bit her lip and nodded, clutching her wand as she followed Lupin.

Mr. Lupin seems to be in good spirits lately—when I last saw him with Loila, he looked quite well; although his robes were still worn out, his complexion was much better.

He always looked tired before, which made Royla think about what Dumbledore had made her do—although she didn’t know why, Royla felt happy seeing that Mr. Lupin was in good condition.

"whee----"

Hearing a soft laugh behind him, Lupin pursed his lips and shook his head. He hadn't seen Miss Hamilton for a while either.

When they met again, she was still the same as before.

They were equally shy, equally friendly, and equally worrying.

Of course, Lupin didn't think he was in a position to worry about Miss Hamilton; he was still counting on her help.

However, this time, I discovered a remnant of a magic array, which should be considered as helping Miss Hamilton, right?

Lupin shook his head. He felt immense pressure every time he thought about it; after all, he owed Miss Hamilton so much, and had given so little in return.

"It's still my own ability—" Lupin sighed softly—"Miss Hamilton actually managed to defeat Voldemort? It's hard to believe she's just a twenty-year-old girl—"

When Lupin first learned of this from Dumbledore's letter, he even wondered why Dumbledore would allow such a thing to happen—though this thought only lasted a moment, Lupin also felt a slight sense of surprise—

Fortunately, Miss Hamilton was alright, after all, she was different from me—and seeing the smile on Miss Hamilton's face.

Lupin knew that she was still the same as before; fighting Voldemort had not added any pressure to her, nor had it changed her in any way.

I doubt I could be as strong as Miss Hamilton.

Alright—now is not the time to think about these things—Lupin felt a little strange. When Miss Hamilton was not around, he would always worry about her—but when she appeared, he would subconsciously feel a little anxious—or rather, inferior.

But this time he had finally been able to help her—Lupin smiled and stopped in his tracks.

"This should be it, Miss Hamilton," she said, looking at the massive rock before her. "This is the entrance to the ruins—"

Before he finished speaking, Roy had already strode to the stone.

"This is—a magic lock array?" Loila pursed her lips excitedly, raised her wand, and carefully examined the stone for a few seconds before revealing a satisfied expression.

"This is a rather complex magic array. In addition to using the blood of invisible beasts as dye to reduce their presence, it also uses the blood of fire dragons —"

"If the crack fails, I might be reduced to ashes on the spot, hahaha."

Looking at the girl laughing in front of him, Lupin couldn't help but twitch his lips—what was there to be happy about?

Fortunately, he hadn't tried to crack it at the time—Lupin was pleased with his caution.

Loila, who was engrossed in the magic circle, was unaware of Lupin's thoughts; her mind was completely absorbed in the magic circle.

This is no ordinary magic lock array—most magic lock arrays are relatively simple, at most adding the blood of an invisible beast, but the array in front of us actually contains the blood of a fire dragon—this dye not only contains astonishing magical power, but is also difficult to control.

Aside from herself and her father, Loila had never seen anyone else create a magic lock array using fire dragon blood—or rather, she had never seen any other magic array experts.

None of that matters. What matters is that this means there must be some incredible magic array within these ruins! Perhaps even those legendary magic arrays that I've never encountered before!

"Hmm, the legendary magic circle!" This is the name given by Loila herself. In this field with almost no scholars, it seems that Loila has monopolized the naming of magic circles.

But if you were to ask what the definition of the legendary magic circle is—Loila would probably only think of the Deathly Hallows.

According to my father, each of the Deathly Hallows has a unique magic circle engraved on it.

The Elder Wand is engraved with a spell that enhances magic but prevents the user from achieving their desired effect; the Invisibility Cloak is engraved with an invisibility spell far more subtle than a regular Disillusionment Charm; and the Resurrection Stone—

Loila pursed her lips and shook her head. This was the most dangerous Deathly Hallow that her father had mentioned, and even the magic array on it was the same.

Loila restrained herself from thinking about the resurrection stone—after all, it was an ominous stone.

But now, I might discover a new magic circle! A magic circle that rivals the magic circle on the Deathly Hallows!
