Behind those torn pages were long paragraphs of diary-like statements and exclamations. The first piece of content that caught her eye made Maka slightly surprised.
This is a short story about the stupid snake he met today. The writing method is a bit unfamiliar - it is not a good article that can leave a deep impression on people.
However, it was this little story that made Maka nod thoughtfully.
"I had planned to write it down before, so it seems that it has been written down..." He thought to himself, "It seems that I am not suitable for writing stories..."
As he thought about it, he turned another page.
Probably inspired by the previous story, this one tells about his experience of dealing with the basilisk. And after that, there are also werewolves, trolls, dementors... and the list goes on.
The narrative is bland, but the content is quite rich. And it can be seen that in the process of writing these stories, the author himself is also savoring those slightly faded memories.
From time to time, I can see some specious thoughts, which makes Maka smile.
When Maka turned a certain page again with a smile, the following content made the remaining smile on his face gradually cool down.
Because in the blank space at the top of the story, these words were written in red ink:
"Plan failed!"
The handwriting was very sloppy. Although the font was still neat and smooth, Maka understood how anxious the "he" who wrote this sentence was at that time.
"...What happened?" Maka couldn't wait to read on.
The wording of the following story is very concise. It is more like writing a plan results report than telling a story.
At the same time, these words also happened to put the plan that Maka had always kept in mind on the paper at a glance. But when the plan reached the final step, the ending shocked Maka.
In fact, since he received the detention investigation notice from the Ministry of Magic at the end of last semester, he had already initially finalized this plan.
Before anyone came from the Ministry of Magic, Maka took the time to have a detailed conversation with Dumbledore. That conversation was candid. Except for some secrets that must not be exposed, he told the respectable white wizard many things.
Among them, the most important content is this huge and highly targeted plan.
The beginning of this large-scale plan involving complex interpersonal relationships was the extreme incident of his imprisonment in Azkaban.
Needless to say, Dumbledore had to take more than half of the credit for Maka being imprisoned in Azkaban in a very short period of time.
The other half, of course, is when Maka uses her advantages to cover up her disadvantages and convinces Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic, that she is fully prepared.
It can be seen from those "plan reports" that the plan went very smoothly at the beginning. These include Maka's escape from prison, the riot at the World Cup finals, and of course the inaction of the Ministry of Magic and the well-deserved satirical reporting by the Daily Prophet.
It even included the fact that Maka deliberately let that sloppy Tarino spread the news about Voldemort's return.
Combined with Voldemort's story of Maka being tortured by the Cruciatus Curse and releasing a group of die-hard Death Eaters, it can be said that Voldemort already believed 80% of Maka's position.
The reason why Maka did this was because he wanted to get the "Hufflepuff's Gold Cup" hidden in Bellatrix's vault without Voldemort being aware of it...

"Tom Riddle's Diary" - obtained secretly from the secret room incident;
"Ravenclaw's Diadem" - Found in the Room of Requirement;

"Marvolo Gaunt's Ring" - please Dumbledore, retrieve it safely from Gaunt's old house;
"Harry Potter"—TBD.

The record on the page is very concise, but it is already a fact that five of the seven Horcruxes are in hand. Next, according to the original plan, he would pretend to completely fall to Voldemort's side.
When Hufflepuff's gold cup was obtained, the entire plan reached its final stage.
However, in the following content, even the handwriting became much neater, and the ink was far more vivid than the previous text. Obviously, it was something I started writing again after a long time.
———
How long has it been since you wrote on this? Let me think about it, it's been nearly three years, right? In the past three years, I have been fighting against it, constantly absorbing the contents of the Scroll of Truth, constantly studying the usage of rule runes, and constantly deepening my understanding of the rules during the battle.
Wait, I think... let's start writing from three years ago.
Yes, Voldemort was dead, but the plan completely failed.
Thinking about it now, I have overlooked one of the biggest uncertainties - how did he resurrect? The last battle was very difficult, and the unknown power was beyond my imagination!
The use of rune arrays and Horcruxes to induce Voldemort's soul resonance was very successful, and the weakening effect of the soul fragments detonating the resonance was also obvious.
Even the most uncertain part was successful because of Harry's trust. As expected, Voldemort couldn't use the Elder Wand perfectly, and Dumbledore's method really worked!
But he was not dead, or in other words, Voldemort was dead, but he also released something even more terrifying than Voldemort!
Hundreds of wizards in the British magical world have been controlled by "it", and they have all turned into monsters wrapped in black energy.
But fortunately, "it" doesn't seem to have real consciousness, which is fortunate.
…

Clearly, things were starting to take a turn for the worse. As the previous sentence said - the plan failed!
From beginning to end, Maka's purpose in formulating this plan was just to get rid of Voldemort as soon as possible in exchange for a peaceful life, but things seemed far from being as simple as imagined...
After that, the text above became closer to a diary. Moreover, the number of times I write has become much more frequent. But the content is nothing more than some trivial battles and casual conversations with Luna in leisure time.
After dozens of pages, this lengthy text suddenly disappeared. What followed were a few scrawled words that made Maka’s hair stand on end—
"Luna, dead."
Just these few words, I just wrote them over and over again, using all my strength to write each stroke, almost scratching the thick parchment page in several places.
Seven or eight pages in a row were written repeatedly as if possessed by a maniac. The emotions and emotions contained in them were so intense that even time could not dilute them.
Even though Luna was sleeping quietly on the hospital bed right now, within his sight, Maka couldn't help but sweating on her palms.
Luna? How did she die? Why didn't I protect her
Questions appeared one after another, and Maka turned back several pages before seeing the next content.
———
Yes, Dumbledore is right, I shouldn't be depressed because of this... I still have the power, and in this case, I can't abandon the lives of everyone around me because of Luna's death.
But it is a pity that Dumbledore paid the price with his life in order to let me understand this truth.
I shouldn't have let him go alone outside the castle to resist "it". If I had gone together, maybe the result would have been completely different... Damn it, what on earth have I been doing in the past five years
In the past five years, apart from shamelessly pretending to be crazy and enjoying Hermione's undivided care, what else have I done
Even Harry has overcome his inner fear and truly mastered the Sword of Gryffindor; even Neville has become a qualified pharmacist, even though he is only good at herbal medicine; even Ron is working hard to become stronger and no longer When a drag…
But what am I doing
…
———
There is a sense of regret everywhere in these words. But Maka could understand that feeling, yes, if something happened to Luna - no, he didn't even dare to think about it!
After that, things seemed to be progressing.
With the help of the bronze eagle, he found a clue left by Rowena Ravenclaw. Although the direction of the clue was very vague, it didn't even explain what was hidden behind the clue.
But one thing is very clear - the information involved in that clue is obviously the same as the "thing" he is facing now.
The one who resurrected Voldemort should be an evil magic item called the "Bewitching Monument".
"… Well?"
While Maka was reading carefully, she heard Luna snorting softly on the hospital bed.
"What's wrong?" Maka immediately raised her head and looked at her gently.
"...What are you looking at?" Luna stretched out her hand from under the quilt in a daze, and gently stroked Maka's eyebrows, "Don't always wrinkle it, mom said, you will get wrinkles..."
"Your mother is right."
Maka smiled slightly, but his heart could not relax... There was no way, no one could relax after experiencing such a terrifying thing.
He looked back out the window, then put Luna's hand back under the quilt.
"Sleep a little longer, it's not dawn yet!" he said softly.
Luna nodded and gradually narrowed her eyes. After a while, as her breathing became heavier, she apparently fell asleep again.
Maka looked at her face and then looked at the heavy handwriting before. The invisible pressure instantly made him breathless.
The moonlight outside the window is still clear, and occasionally the night wind blows in through the window, carefully moving the curtains. All this seems to be not much different from usual. However…
"This is the worst day ever."
