Because at this point in time, she has come outside the influence range of the floor-standing circular mirror. In order to avoid being exposed, Maka's current location is a little far away from Hogwarts.
But no matter how far away it is, in this environment where the mountains and fields are covered with snow, there is still no problem if you want to see one or two people. Especially since the other party didn't know that there were travelers across time and space hidden in the mountains behind them.
At this moment, the long river of souls has reached its end, and only the last few are left in the vestibule of the castle. When the remaining soul was sucked into the mirror, I should have left here with the portkey and rushed to Hogsmeade Village to look for traces of Harry and Ron.
However, what confuses Maka now is why the two people who appeared in his field of vision suddenly appeared here? To be honest, just the two of them walking together is confusing enough, let alone the two of them appearing at this time and at this place at the same time.
More importantly, the two people seemed to be looking ahead silently, looking at themselves who were about to leave here. Maka couldn't guess even a little bit of what they were thinking right now.
One of those two people was named Severus Snape; the other was named Hermione Granger.
For a moment, Maka looked at the two inexplicable people standing at the foot of the distant hillside from a distance, and those two inexplicable people were also looking at her past self from a distance.
All three parties remained silent, just standing there quietly, as if waiting for something.
In fact, Maka now really wants to go and ask for information at all costs. After all, there are too many unclear things here. But he knew that now was by no means the best time to show up rashly.
On the contrary, if he passes now, it will inevitably add more complications to the already messy facts. Hogwarts' misfortune had already befallen him just now. His operation this time was destined to fail, and he could no longer add unnecessary burdens to the next operation that was bound to continue.
During this moment when the three parties, who were almost impossible to appear at the same time, waited quietly, the last ray of soul was also included in the world in the mirror. With a burst of space distortion in the distance, the self at this point in time finally left here.
Just as Maka was focusing on Snape and Hermione, trying to find some clues from their actions, the two people took steps one after another and walked slowly forward.
What's going on? Are they going to Hogwarts? There is now a real restricted area over there. If Snape and Hermione walked in, wouldn't their souls be sucked away immediately
Knowing that there must be something fishy that he didn't know about, Maka still didn't act rashly. He had to watch for a while to accumulate more useful information for the next action.
But Snape and Hermione didn't walk very fast, and they didn't mean to talk to each other.
In other words, even if he uses magic to eavesdrop, he will not hear any conversation at all. This couldn't help but make Maka feel helpless.
If they just walked into the sphere of influence of the round mirror, wouldn't he not be able to get even the slightest clue? What's more, neither Snape's death nor Hermione's death was what he wanted to see.
"I really don't know what tricks they are playing without telling me!"
Maka thought about it, and finally gritted her teeth and stamped her feet, making up her mind. Now that they were still far away from the soul restricted area, he could wait and watch for a while, but if they didn't stop in the end, he would have to take action.
After all, he would never be able to bear it if he just watched Hermione die in front of him.
Snape and Hermione had no idea what he was thinking, so they didn't stop for a moment. Although they walked slowly, they moved forward steadily one step at a time in the snow on the ground.
Maka's face was as calm as water, but her right hand was tightly holding the staff's body, and she was also constantly following in their direction. It can be seen from the long-distance soul magic before that if he wants to save people, I am afraid he will not miss it.
But he still didn't expect that before he could follow him any farther, a crisp crackling sound suddenly sounded in the endless snow-capped mountains.
Maka saw it, and Snape and Hermione probably saw it too. Those were two people who shouldn't have been here!
"Harry? Ron?" He paused, and his face immediately showed even more surprise than before, "Sirius indeed taught Harry about Apparition, but... why are they here? When the time comes?"
That's right, what Maka saw right now was Harry and Ron apparating in front of them. Why they appear here and what they want to do is also an unsolved mystery.
Maka suddenly discovered that since he went back in time this time, he had indeed seen more things. But not only has no one of the already confusing mysteries been solved, but it is constantly increasing.
Greenwald's conspiracy had already upset him enough, and now weird things were springing up one after another, like bamboo shoots after the rain. But these things have only come to light, and we don’t know what kind of chaos the root system buried in the soil will become!
The so-called "the more you know, the more you will discover your ignorance", this sentence is applied here, and there is no sense of violation.
It was at this moment that the situation, which had been reduced from three parties to two, turned back to three parties again. The complex situations intertwined in it have become even more difficult to distinguish.
By the way, Harry and Ron appeared a little closer to the front than Snape and Hermione. As long as you climb two small snow slopes, you will soon enter that extremely deadly desert.
The destination of the two hurried little lions was obviously Hogwarts Castle.
"Are you all rushing to reincarnate?"
Maka, who said he couldn't wait any longer, slipped his foot and was about to activate his swiftness and rush forward, but what happened next made him stop his forward momentum again.
"stop!"
"Don't go any further, if... you still don't want to die."
Maka didn't hear these two sentences, after all, he hadn't cast the corresponding magic yet. But just because he couldn't hear, it didn't mean that he didn't have eyes and couldn't see, because Snape and Hermione happened to have climbed over a hillside and were standing behind Harry and Ron.
The moment the two parties met, Harry and Ron stopped and turned around suddenly.
Maka, who knew what new development would happen next, waved the staff and quickly extended forward with the magic. Not long after, he heard the surprised sounds of Harry and Ron.
"Bat... Professor Snape?" Ron shouted in surprise, "And Hermione?"
Harry didn't speak, but his eyes wandered back and forth between Snape and Hermione, and the surprise and surprise on his face was not much less than Ron's.
"Harry, Ron..."
Hermione just responded to them, but didn't say anything more, but Snape suddenly snorted coldly.
"Why are you here?"
Even Maka, who couldn't see his expression, could guess that Snape's face must be gloomy and irritable now. This was the emotion he would definitely show when he saw Harry.
"We... we are going to inform Maka about the disappearance of Hermione... uh..." Ron opened his mouth several times, but when the words came to his mouth, they came out weird, "Hermione, why are you talking to Si Snape... um, are you with Professor Snape? We went to your house! But we couldn't find you... "
Seeing that Ron couldn't continue, Harry, who was also confused, shook his head in embarrassment, feeling that his mind was about to become a mess.
"...We thought you..." Harry just muttered a few words and then closed his mouth again.
Although neither Harry nor Ron could explain clearly, it was obvious that they were greatly relieved after seeing Hermione.
Even if they didn't have a good impression of Snape, after all, the friendship between Maka and Snape was there, and they wouldn't express their feelings in front of each other about this Potions Professor who always had trouble with them. of disgust.
"Hermione?"
Although Ron's words were a bit messy before, it was not to the point where people couldn't understand. Seeing that Hermione didn't speak after hearing this, he felt that something was wrong.
However, despite his call, Hermione still didn't speak, which made Harry and Ron feel uneasy.
"Snape! Why doesn't Hermione speak?" Harry, who had no good impression of Snape in the first place, no longer worried about anything in this situation, "What did you do to her?"
"Harry."
Ron seemed to feel that it was not good to ask such a question, so he called him in a low voice with some hesitation. But Harry, who had become quite impatient before coming here, ignored Ron's reminder.
"Snape! Why don't you say anything? What on earth do you want to do!" Harry took a step forward and said loudly with a hint of anger, "Could it be that... Hermione's disappearance is because you captured her?" ?”
"snort!"
Snape, who seemed a little silent just now, snorted again. Listening to the tone, it was obvious that he was full of impatience.
"Potter... I remind you, don't stare at me with those eyes of yours!" He suddenly sneered and sarcastically said in a disdainful tone, "Humph... Looking at you like this, you are still Gryffindor? I see you The college’s emblem should be a wild boar instead! He’s so aggressive when his brain gets hot, he’s just like your damn father…”
This kind of cynicism was actually not uncommon between Snape and Harry. But under the current situation, Harry, who couldn't bear his anger, naturally became even more irritable.
"What are you talking about!" He moved his hand and shouted angrily, "You are not allowed to speak ill of my father - the upside down golden clock!"
