Hogwarts Archmage

Thinking of Esther no longer painting, although Ma En did not object, she was still a little curious. Her painting skills were very superb.

Turning his head and glancing at Esther, who just found some suitable content and handed it to Margery, Ma En asked: "My dear, you don't seem to draw much now, why?"

Esther thought about it for a moment: "It seems that I haven't painted for a long time... maybe it's not needed anymore."

"Need it? What else do you need for this thing?"

Margery raised her head and moved her neck and wrists, and answered for Esther: "Of course, before I met you, Esther needed to draw to relieve her mood. But now that she knows you, she doesn't need to do anything. I have you."

"Do I still have this effect?" Ma En said pretending to be in disbelief.

"That's~" Margery and Esther looked at each other and smiled. She only said half of what she said. She watched Esther change little by little, becoming peaceful and no longer depressed. Esther Becoming special is not as simple as stopping painting.

After finishing speaking, she copied the last pharmacy information on the parchment paper, and took some boring summaries from the side, interspersed them and bound them together into a thick book as thick as a thumb. Margaery let out a sigh of relief: " Finally finished second grade.”

Ma En casually took the booklet that will be used next year and flipped through it a few times: "You did it so fast?"

"Of course it's fast. You don't have to worry about writing the summary. You can use it with a little modification. The rest of the potion formula is also simple, and it's not a magical elixir."

"Speaking of the elixir...Margaery, do you remember that traitor?"

Margaery thought for a moment: "You mean the guy who died for 20 Galleons?"

"Yeah, you said that if we made that kind of medicine and gave it to the old guard..."

"Marn! Absolutely not!" Margaery's voice became very serious, "You can defeat them, make them prisoners or even kill them, but you can never use this method to win victory. That is Pandora's demon. box."

"Okay, okay...I'm just imagining it. Of course I know that thing is dangerous..."

"I can't even think about it!"

"Okay, is it okay that I was wrong..." Ma En sighed, feeling that he was indeed extreme.

It was still very early, only 09:30, and they only watched two games before being kicked out by Professor McGonagall--not that they should be mentioned, mainly Marn, and the remaining two people were purely innocent.

A few people were idle for a while. Ma En felt that it was too boring and planned to go to Sirius to discuss future plans.

After saying hello to the three girls, Marne called Patrick and together they went to Sirius's residence in Hogsmeade.

I have to say that having a phoenix is ​​indeed a lot more convenient. You can go anywhere quickly. More importantly, teleportation through a phoenix is ​​much more comfortable than apparating and portkeys.

He tried asking Dobby to take him out, and it felt like... the elf's teleportation method was very rough, and since others didn't know, Ma En didn't want to try it a second time.

When he came to Hogsmeade, Sirius was also very bored. He was playing with himself with a set of chess pieces...

"Good morning." Ma En greeted.

Sirius raised his head: "Huh? Marne? Good morning, you didn't go to the game?"

Marne told him what happened just now, and Sirius sighed sadly: "Harry is like James in every way, but his physical fitness is a bit worse. I may be able to arrange a place for him to exercise during the summer."

"Not necessarily. Muggle guns are very useful. You can give him two pistols."

"A gun? The kind of thing that is filled with powder and ignited? That thing is too inefficient. I've seen it before."

"Ignition?" Ma En frowned and glanced at him: "The thing you mentioned is now an antique. Just install one now and shoot with a bang."

"Is it useful?"

"Very, very easy to use...much faster than Kedavra..."

Sirius nodded: "Then I'll give him a few blows later... Are Muggles so powerful now?"

"What do you think? Otherwise Old Walder would be so anxious. If he settles down for more than ten years, with his methods, he can wipe out half of the wizarding world just by winning people's hearts."

"Maybe he just wants a head-on confrontation...Who knows what will happen in the future."

"Stop it, buddy, have you forgotten that he has a good friend? You can clearly see how many leeks you have eaten today next year."

Sirius thought for a while: "You mean Grindelwald? That old guy is indeed very powerful, but he is mysterious. Last time I saw him, he told me that I had good luck, but my destiny has deviated from it. Weird words like that.”

Then you must be lucky, otherwise you would have died in a few years, Ma En thought.

Seeing that the two people were about to start arguing, Ma En brought the topic back to the purpose of coming here: "Okay, let's talk about something serious."

"what's up."

"I think we can't continue like this. Have you heard about what happened at Hogwarts two days ago?"

"Are you talking about Comptin? I heard that it's a pity for that person."

"Yeah... I think we can't continue to wait for others to come to our door."

Sirius rubbed his chin: "You mean to take the initiative?"

"Yes, we took care of so many wizards with just a little movement last time. Why don't we make it bigger this time."

"This requires an opportunity, but after what happened in the past few days, the entire nearby area has been reinforced like an iron barrel, which is very difficult."

"We can open a crack for them." Ma En made a slight distance gesture with two fingers.

Sirius frowned: "This is difficult, they are not that stupid, and they are very dangerous. Once they make a mistake..."

"We can make another layer of protection, leave a gap in the outermost layer of protection, and make the inner layer of protection stronger."

After thinking for a long time, Sirius said: "Then give me two days. I will clean up the spies I have raised to prevent them from leaking the information."

"Spy? Do you still keep this thing?"

"Patrols and guards are boring... You have to find something to do. It's a pity that these guys have learned wisely after suffering a loss last time. The spies sent are only responsible for delivering messages and do nothing else. They can only make do with it. …”

"Then get rid of them all. Keeping them will be troublesome."

"Well...I'll leave one behind and let him go out to deliver news about the gap..."

"No need," Ma En waved his hand and said, "I have someone more reliable..."

"who?"

"Do you remember Peter Pettigrew who came to you to learn Occlumency?"

Sirius was stunned: "Did he sneak in?"

Ma En glanced at the luxurious decorations around him through the fire in the little star's body, and smiled without saying a word.
