Chapter 149 The Strange Hogwarts
"Hmm... and then it means this..." Loila muttered, holding the quill pen. The feathers brushed against her face, making her feel a little itchy and also a little annoyed.
The last cipher was exceptionally complex—it was no longer just Parseltongue. Loila was certain she had memorized all of Parseltongue and could even communicate with Miss Nagini, who had transformed into a snake, without any problems.
But they still couldn't decipher the cipher in front of them—it didn't look like dragon script—nor did it look like fairy language—
It's not Veela language either.
Loila tried all the languages she knew, but all attempts failed. The text was then encrypted using a script she did not understand.
But what kind of script is this?
Loila let out a frustrated sigh and leaned back in her office chair.
"No results?" Nagini stood beside her, holding a cup of coffee, and said softly, "Maybe you should relax a bit."
"Relax...?" Loila pursed her lips and shook her head. She felt relaxed right now—studying magic arrays was a really interesting thing—
Look at this snake-like magic circle, that's the energy storage magic circle—and this moon-like one is the connection magic circle—
"Or do you have any other magic arrays?" Nagini asked casually, "For example—magic arrays that haven't yet achieved a breakthrough?"
"Ah—" Nagini's words reminded Loila that she still had a magic circle she had obtained from Mr. Riddle—now that Mr. Riddle was gone, she had not yet broken the magic circle.
That's not good. If I find Mr. Riddle and she finds out I haven't made any progress, that would be a bit embarrassing.
Although Loila has given up hope of finding Mr. Riddle, since it wasn't taken by a student, the only possibilities are a professor or someone from another school.
No professor would ever take it from each other—Roy didn't think anyone would do that—even the worst Dumbledore wouldn't do it.
Lost in thought, Loila gently waved her wand and pulled the magic circle from a pile of parchment documents.
Thanks to Miss Nagini's arrival, Loila's office is now much tidier—it used to be piled with all sorts of parchment and bottles and jars.
Miss Nagini spent a lot of time cleaning, but the price was that Loila often didn't know where things were—even chaos has its own order!
"This magic circle—" Nagini shook his head subconsciously upon seeing the magic circle that Loila had spread out on the table: "It looks rather evil."
"Evil... evil?" Loila whispered, "Magic circles... magic circles aren't evil."
Magic circles are the most sublime and outstanding art, how could they be evil?
"What I mean is—" Nagini thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't give me a good feeling."
This made Loila blink; she remembered what Luna had said.
This magic circle reminded her of the harassing horseflies.
Could it be a magic circle to summon harassing flies? After all, harassing flies can't be seen—
However, this is unlikely, since creating life with a magic array is impossible. It's more possible to transfer a portion of life into another person.
However, such a magic circle does not seem to exist. Loila had never heard her father mention it, nor had she seen it in any of the magic circles that followed.
If such a magic circle exists, it must be the most evil and dangerous one, right?
Loila shook her head to clear her mind of these random thoughts and turned back to seriously examine the magic circle in front of her.
Believe it or not, after studying the magic array in the secret chamber, Loila seems to have gained some new insights into the magic array in front of her now—for example, she feels that the magic array in front of her seems to have some kind of connecting function.
It seems to be connected to some kind of magic circle —
That's interesting—could it be some kind of magic circle in Mr. Riddle's diary?
Of course, this was just Loila's guess. After observing the glowing magic circle for a long time, she sighed softly.
It seems there's still no breakthrough.
Looking at the clock hanging in the office, Loila nodded slightly and then put away the magic circle.
It seems to be noon already, I should go eat now — I think I made plans with Luna to have lunch by the Black Lake today — maybe Luna will have some good ideas?
Loila thought that if Luna were to learn magic circles, she would definitely be very good at it.
Nagini, who was standing nearby, seemed to understand Loila's meaning. She gently put down her coffee cup and transformed into a small snake, which then slithered into Loila's sleeve.
"Ah!" Loila suddenly screamed, then blushed and waved her hands wildly, "Nagini—Miss Nagini, don't go in there—"
"Hiss hiss hiss." Miss Nagini replied to the apology in Parseltongue before emerging from that somewhat dangerous place.
Miss Nagini—she's really—she's really wicked—Loy blushed. She slapped her face to calm herself down, realizing that Miss Nagini seemed to particularly enjoy teasing her like this.
This is clearly not a good thing — but when she thought that she was her friend, Loila felt that nothing mattered anymore. After all, a friend would never hurt her, right?
Even the later, wicked Mr. Riddle helped him discover the secret chamber and learn new magic circles —
Thinking this, Loila shook her head and walked out of the office, then down the stairs to the balcony. As she left the office, her hair had turned red, and she had a few small freckles on her face. Her clothes had also changed into Hogwarts school uniform.
She preferred to have dinner with Luna this way.
However, as she walked down the corridors of Hogwarts, she sensed something strange—
Why is Hogwarts today so...so embarrassing!
Loila subconsciously pursed her lips and carefully avoided the pairs of male and female students—although it was common to see students being affectionate at Hogwarts—
But it seems, it seems, that it wasn't nearly as exaggerated as it is today!
On almost every bench in the corridor, a couple sat whispering to each other.
"Your hair is as smooth and fluffy as a feather!"
"Really? I think your smile is just as charming as Mr. Lockhart's!"
"————" Loila trembled and quickly lowered her head and quickened her pace.
Is Hogwarts under some kind of curse?
Or have they all taken aphrodisiacs? — How come they're all so — so blatant!
And sitting together, mouth to mouth, etc.—wouldn't that involve children?—Luo Yi remembered that's how her parents explained it.
Even Lord Grindelwald explained it this way —
Loira felt it necessary to tell Dumbledore or Professor McGonagall about this! If there had been children when they were students...
This is seriously affecting my studies!
Loila walked quickly past another corner with her head down. This road, which she used to know very well and which was almost deserted, was now full of couples.
Take a deep breath —
Calm — Cold.
Loila felt her face was probably as red as her hair—even though they didn't seem to notice.
But it's still very—very embarrassing!
Fortunately, this phenomenon decreased significantly as she approached the auditorium—it seemed she wouldn't encounter any danger while fetching her food.
Thinking this, Loila gently pushed open the door to the auditorium.
Then she saw Mr. Lockhart, dressed in a white tuxedo, standing on a high platform, surrounded by a large group of fairies dressed in white fairy costumes.
Have I stepped into some other world?
