The Silent Witch of Hogwarts

Chapter 697 Drawing

Is Voldemort about to attack?

As Loila inscribed the magic circle, she felt a little anxious.

It's perfectly normal to be anxious in this situation, after all, Voldemort might launch an attack tomorrow, and the engraving of the magic circle isn't even half finished—

What should I do?!

Loila felt that she had reached her maximum speed—after all, it wasn't just her, but also seven or eight clones working together to inscribe it, but even so, inscribing a magic array of this size couldn't be accomplished in just a few days.

The engraved magic circle covers almost the entire Hogwarts campus, and then you have to center it around the Room of Requirement. Just running around the huge campus is a waste of time.

"Clatter".

As Loila was thinking this, her hand slipped and she made a mistake in engraving a certain spot. Looking at the messy lines in front of her, which were caused by her own wild thoughts, Loila covered her head in frustration.

This is no longer just a simple mistake—several hours of work have been ruined in an instant!

Her pointed ears trembled with anxiety, her hand gripping the wand tightened suddenly, and even her face turned bright red.

Huh? Was it this hot at Hogwarts before?

Loila knelt on the ground, looking at the oversights before her, feeling a little weary.

If it really doesn't work, just give up.

No! Absolutely not! This was the only thing Loila didn't want to give up on. She pursed her lips and took a deep breath.

This is a strategy I came up with myself, and it does indeed have a chance of success—it's just that time is too tight right now. If only I could try a little harder—if only I could replicate myself more often at once—

Unfortunately, none of these things are realistic right now.

"Loila".

"Hmm?" Just as Loila was getting a little impatient and preparing to correct the mistake, she heard a light, melodious voice.

That's Luna.

She was standing beside him, gazing thoughtfully at the magic circle on the ground.

"Is this a mistake?"

"Hmm...hmm." Loila nodded with a slightly helpless pursed lips: "This part...this part has a mistake, we have to...huh?"

Loila suddenly looked at Luna as if she had realized something: "You understand—did you understand, Luna?"

"Why can't you understand it?" Luna asked, tilting her head. "Didn't Royza teach us magic circles for many years?"

Luna blinked as she spoke, "And Loila is a very capable professor, you know."

"Let's forget about 'amazing' and all that—" Loila pursed her lips shyly, then said, "After all, we both made mistakes—"

"Isn't making mistakes normal?" Luna said casually, nodding magnanimously to Loila. "Besides, it's hard not to make mistakes under this kind of pressure."

"Luna, you know—" Loila looked at Luna with some surprise.

"Of course I know." Luna nodded gently. "Professor McGonagall told us about it in the Great Hall this morning."

"Make sure the students who are afraid of danger get out of Hogwarts as soon as possible." She said, squatting down next to Loira. "Voldemort is about to attack Hogwarts."

"Then—Luna, you should leave here quickly," Loira said with some worry. "Hogwarts will be very dangerous—"

—It's very dangerous.

"And I also—" Loila reached out her right hand and felt a slight stinging pain.

"So let's go quickly."

"I won't leave." Luna shook her head firmly and looked at Loila, saying, "Loila, I'm not a child anymore."

"Hogwarts is not just your home, it is also my home, and the home of all the students who choose to stay."

"We will all protect it."

"But—but what if—" Loila was very worried that something might happen to Luna, after all, Voldemort was no pushover for a child—

Okay, Luna is really not a child anymore. At least when she stands in front of Loila, she is much taller than Loila.

We used to be about the same height—thinking of this, Loira suddenly felt a pang of感慨 (gan3 kai3, a feeling of deep emotion, often mixed with nostalgia or regret) how quickly time had passed—and also a touch of感慨 (gan3 kai3, a feeling of deep emotion, often mixed with regret or regret) that Luna really seemed to have grown up—

But this is also very dangerous.

"Isn't Loila in danger?" Luna asked softly, reaching out to take Loila's hand as she spoke.

"Loila has protected me many times, and I want to protect Loila too." She blinked as she spoke, "And—I'm not afraid."

"Voldemort will not win."

Her words made Loila's ears twitch, and then she gripped Luna's hand slightly tighter.

Her hands used to be soft, like marshmallows, but now they are slender and defined—these are no longer the hands of a student, but the hands of a wizard.

Thinking of this, Luo Yizhuang decided not to say anything more. She didn't like to undermine someone's firm confidence.

"So, Loila, please let me help you," Luna said, bending down and squatting beside the magic circle. "Although the magic circle is very complicated—it can only succeed with our help, right?"

Loila instinctively wanted to refuse, but—Luna was right.

It would indeed be difficult to complete the magic circle work by myself alone, and I would definitely need the help of others in such a short time—besides, Luna had already stayed behind to fight Voldemort—compared to this, the magic circle engraving was really not a dangerous task.

"I—I understand." Loila looked at Luna gratefully, then took out a copy of a magic circle diagram.

"Luna, could you draw a magic circle for me that runs from the second floor to the third floor?"

"Of course." Luna took the blueprints, nodded seriously, and said, "It's not just me who can do it."

"The Pinecone Party members are all willing to help you, Loyal," Luna said, holding up the blueprints. "With everyone's help—"

Even the most difficult magic array will surely succeed.

Her words left Loila biting her lip in silence.

Yes—although I couldn't possibly do it alone, with everyone's help—

And so, within just one hour, the remaining Pinecone Party members at Hogwarts were mobilized.

As a support group for Professor Hamilton, they naturally had a great interest in magic circles. Even those who didn't know magic circles had studied them for quite some time because of their interest in Loila, and they never missed a single magic circle class.

Therefore, these well-trained students immediately devoted themselves to engraving the magic circle, and their figures could be seen all over Hogwarts.

With such efforts, the engraving of the magic circle should be successful before Voldemort arrives, right?

Shouldn't that be okay?
