Hogwarts Rising Again

Chapter 546 Missing Things

"What happened? What did you say about Magatha?" Hugo asked as he walked into the dormitory.

"She was attacked at the divination tower, it was serious."

Mo Lin briefly told Hugo what had happened, and also told about Magatha being attacked and seeing Lily in the divination tower.

Hugo was very surprised: "How could this be? It's impossible for Lily to attack Magatha—she has no reason to attack Magatha, isn't she? Maybe—maybe you are really wrong."

Although Hugo and Lily quarreled every day, the two of them played together since they were young and knew each other's personalities very well. Hugo still didn't believe that Lily would do such a thing.

"I didn't say it must be Lily who attacked Magatha."

When Mo Lin said this, he paused, and continued: "But before the truth comes to light, I need to consider any possibility."

Lily has become extremely strange recently, completely different from before, and other people may not care about such obvious personality changes, but Molin and Hugo are very clear that Lily was not like this before.

"But you said that when Magatha's accident happened, Lily was in the principal's office." Hugo said doubtfully, "Maybe you really misread it."

Mo Lin didn't refute Hugo's words, and he didn't want to. It's pointless to argue with Hugo now, what he needs is evidence.

Lily wasn't cast with the Imperius Curse, or someone else's Polyjuice Potion, that's for sure.

Magatha told Mo Lin last time that a complete arithmetic and divination magic system has been developed in recent years, which can calculate the identity of a person based on his expression and behavior.

If it's compound decoction, no matter how subtle the other party's disguise is, they are not the same person after all, and their movements and habits will reveal flaws.Magatha knew Lily, and when she was pestering Maureen, she would help Hugo and Lily do the calculations.

If Lily was in disguise, with Magatha's talent, she could tell the difference.

Unless there is someone like the old witch who uses more advanced arithmetic and divination magic than Magatha to disguise Lily, then it is possible to deceive Magatha.

But any divination and camouflage magic is useless in front of Mo Lin. The old witch can hide it from others, except Mo Lin.

Maureen put aside the scarlet death scythe in his hand, more and more mysteries in his mind, the most important point is why Magatha went to the divination tower at night?

Last time, Maureen asked Magatha to calculate whether Lily was "Lily", but Magatha said that everything was normal, but tonight she went to the divination tower strangely.

Could it be that Magatha has been thinking about this matter all along, and just happened to find something tonight, so she went there by herself?

Who attacked her that night?

"Did I miss something?"

Mo Lin thought about what happened at night, and he always felt that there was something unreasonable at night, as if something had been overlooked by him, but he couldn't say what was missed.

Magatha went to the divination tower for no reason, and was attacked by black magic on the tower. At that time, it happened that Professor Trelawney and Lily went to the principal's office to complain that the Halloween event affected the rest.

He saw Arnock near the stone arch, and when he was going to ask Arnock, he fell into memory for no reason, and saw the man in black who was dressed similarly to himself. Is all this a coincidence?
Also, why did Arnock go to Stone Arch at night?

"Magic is gone, spirit is gone, advertising is forever, my name is Ulla, and I speak for myself!"

Ulla is still promoting its expired ad on Hugo's shoulder, but its voice is limp, the magic is fading, and Hugo's clothes are slowly changing back to normal.

"It's magic time."

Hugo looked at Ula who disappeared from his shoulder with some regret, and said: "Although this chatterbox has inserted an unscrupulous advertisement all night, but hell, I actually miss it a little bit—"

Maureen's Death Scythe is also gradually fading, and his magic time is approaching, and Thanatos on his chest is also making its farewell declaration.

"Death is not the end of all things, but another starting point. We live desperately just to die with dignity."

Thanatos' magic dissipated, and Maureen resumed his drab black school uniform.

"Why can't I always understand what your skull is saying?" Hugo muttered.

Mo Lin thought for a while and said, "Actually, what it said still makes sense."

-

At this time, the door of the dormitory opened, and Sweet came in from the outside with his schoolbag on his back.

"Sweet, I haven't seen you at night, where have you been?"

Hugo said hello.

"library."

Sweet put her schoolbag on the bed.

Hugo widened his eyes and said incredulously, "What are you doing in the library at night?"

"Writing a dissertation on potions class." Sweet replied indifferently, "The castle is too noisy at night, there is magic to block the sound in the library, so you won't be disturbed."

Sweet is a weird but hard-working person. When everyone used Professor Singer's magic mirror to dress themselves up for Halloween, Sweet chose to study in the library, always out of tune with everyone.

"It's over, I haven't written that paper yet!" Yu Guo came to his senses and turned to look at Mo Lin, "Mo Lin, have you written it yet?"

Mo Lin shook his head: "It's the day after tomorrow, and I'll write it tomorrow."

"Did something happen tonight?" Sweet asked.

"Something happened." Mo Lin nodded and asked, "What happened outside?"

"I came back from the library just now and saw many professors maintaining order." Sweet said, he pondered for a while, and then asked, "Did Magatha find you?"

Maureen froze for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "Magatha found me——what do you mean by that?"

"When I was in the library, Magatha came to ask me where you were," Sweet said.

Mo Lin stood up abruptly and asked, "When did it happen?"

"About two hours ago, she ran to the library and asked me where you had been, and said she wanted to find you." Sweet replied while sitting on her bed.

"Two hours ago?"

Mo Lin recalled it carefully. At that time, ghosts were performing in the auditorium, and many students were playing around noisily. Mo Lin should still be in the auditorium at that time.

"Then what did she say?" Mo Lin asked.

Sweet said: "I said you should be in the auditorium, and she said to herself that she figured out that you should be in the library at this time, and then she left the library."

"Is she still not learning to be good?" Hugo muttered, "Which time is it right to count Mo Lin?"

A light suddenly flashed in Mo Lin's mind!
He always felt that something was wrong at night, as if something was missed, but he couldn't say it, and now he realized that he had missed that thing!
