“…… That's the way it is. Mr. McLean, I will severely punish him for this incident that has disturbed many wizards in various countries. Obviously, before I left the tribe, I had already memorized everything they needed to pay attention to, but I didn't think it through after all. ”

In the staff lounge at Hogwarts Castle, the old witch who had been on the lookout for Maca, one of the leaders of the African delegation, was candidly apologizing for the riot.

Beside her, the African wizard who had drawn his wand in full view of everyone stood with his head slightly down. Except for the fact that he had just told the actual situation in the language of their tribe under the questioning of the old witch, he did not dare to say more nonsense.

On the other side, there were Harry and the others, who were still sitting there confused...... Of course, only Luna was as relaxed and casual as ever, and she even had the heart to look at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window.

In addition, it stands to reason that Maca is sitting in the middle of the two sides of the incident, temporarily acting as a mediator in what seems to be a dispute......

It's a faculty lounge, but since the professors have their own offices, and even Filch has his own administrator's office, no one usually comes here.

When Maca received the report and went to the edge of the Forbidden Forest to check on the situation, she invited everyone involved to a quiet place that was perfect for arbitrating disputes.

At least the house-elves are diligent, and although it is often vacant, it is still clean and tidy.

"No, it's okay, it's not his fault either." In response to the old witch's apology, Maca waved her hand slightly, "This matter has been basically clear from the moment Luna stepped forward at the end and caused both parties to stop immediately. So, since it was just a misunderstanding, and it didn't cause any real damage to anyone in the end, then this matter is considered a thing of the past......"

The small contradictions and disputes between countries almost all end in a muddy way, not to mention that this time it was really a misunderstanding. Of course, if Harry had been harmed this time, Maca might not have been as "easy-going" as he is now.

At the end of the day, he can't be a qualified person in power. Although he himself has a good sense of the big picture, it is only cognitive, and it is basically impossible for him to choose certain sacrifices.

After defining the nature of the commotion, Maca asked curiously, "But does Luna really look that much like the female ancestor of your tribe?" Belch...... I don't mean to be offended, but believe me and you should understand? ”

To put it bluntly - even the human race is completely different, can it really be that similar?

The moment she heard Maca's words, the old witch glanced at Luna again, and then nodded earnestly.

"Yes," she said, "though it's only a side face carved into the lintel of the ancestral temple, it's really ...... It's so similar......"

Just as Maca had spoken to the old witch at this point, the latter had already spoken on behalf of the African wizard. The reason why the other party drew his wand after seeing Luna was only because after seeing Luna, he mistakenly thought that Luna was the reincarnation of the ancestor of their tribe, and then wanted to salute her.

Compared with the more prosperous and advanced European magical world, the cultural subject of the African magical world is still in a relatively backward stage, and the number of wizards like the old witch who is highly integrated with the international magical world is not large.

However, in recent years, thanks to the continuous efforts of several principals of the African Vagado School of Magic and Magic, coupled with the support of a prescient tribal elder like the old witch. Even with the large population of tribal shamans in Africa, the situation is gradually improving.

Just like this competition, they have brought out a group of young people from the tribe who are suitable for training, even if it is good to have a long experience and broaden their horizons.

Luna's "face-to-face" with the other party's ancestor for no reason didn't bother Maca too much, and he wasn't the kind of person who didn't know the inside story of the magical world in other countries. It's like that, anyway, people don't insist that Luna is the meaning of "ancestral reincarnation", in short, this is the end of the matter.

After seeing off the old witch and the others of the African delegation, only Harry, Hermione, Alexander, and Luna were left in the staff lounge...... And, of course, a maca.

"Speaking of which......" Maca suddenly turned her head and looked at Luna, who was still looking up at the window, and asked, "Luna, nothing bad happened this time, but thanks to you." But how do you know that the other person is not hostile? ”

Maca's question undoubtedly also represents the doubts in the hearts of Harry and others. Luna's sudden outburst was so shocking that no one could react.

Otherwise, they would definitely stop her at all.

From what they knew, Luna didn't have the slightest chance of knowing the truth. Otherwise, with Hermione's keen observation, there should not be any obvious traces missing, and it would not have developed to the point of almost being out of control.

"Huh?"

Luna, who was enjoying the blue sky and white clouds outside, heard this, and a hazy smile appeared on her face.

"Because of his eyes," she said, "you said that when you talked about Celestial Mind and Occlumency...... The eyes are the windows to the soul. ”

……

While Luna was using her soft voice to dispel everyone's confusion, the old witch and the others who hurried back to the guest room in the self-teaching staff lounge had surprisingly serious faces.

"Ancestor, my induction...... Isn't that true? ”

The African wizard at the center of that incident was undoubtedly nervous.

In fact, the explanation given to Maca in the faculty lounge before was not false, it was a real answer. The face of their clan's ancestor did bear a striking resemblance to Luna's, and it was true that he wanted to salute and say hello at the time.

However, the reason for taking out the wand was not just to salute, but also to use African magic to sense Luna.

Since the old witch had noticed it as early as the first meeting with Maca, it was not a very wise thing to lie in front of Maca. Even she is only "possible" to be able to tell a lie without the other party noticing.

Therefore, after asking about the situation in the tribal language, she chose to avoid the risk of being discovered by Maca by saying half and leaving half behind.

"That's right," the old witch affirmed the young man who had been selected from the tribe, "you have done a good job, and I will give you the reward you deserve when you go back this time." But—"

She said as she spoke, but shook her head with some embarrassment.

"That little girl named Luna does have the blood of an ancestor, but for some reason, the blood in her body is extremely thin...... Anyway, it shouldn't be dangerous. With just the slightest bit of blood, nothing will happen......"

"Then ......," the young wizard whispered beside her, "Ancestor, do we still want to ......?"

"Don't do anything," the old witch knew what he was thinking, and immediately warned sternly, "have you forgotten what I said before?" Don't do anything forbidden unless you have to! This is not our territory. ”

……

The conversation that took place in a room of the African delegation was obviously unknown to Maca's side. Right now, he was still in the faculty lounge, taking advantage of this busy opportunity to chat casually with Harry and the others.

Last night, after setting a trap to capture two black-robed cultists, he chased after several alienated eight-eyed giant spiders that were stalking out in an attempt to capture the fleeing accomplices.

It's a pity that those black-robed disciples may be at the level of regular Aurors in other aspects, but they are only incredibly fast. Coupled with the fact that they are also wizards, it makes sense to use the Transfiguration Charm to leave.

When he chased down the place where the men had disappeared, the remaining fluctuations of their illusion were already indistinguishable.

So, although the harvest was there, it was limited to the two petrified believers. As for the overnight pursuit that he did not hesitate to spend his sleep time on, it was equivalent to a wasted effort. And because he has put a lot of energy into the alchemy competition during this time, he can't help but feel a little tired today.

For him, chatting with Harry and the others was a pretty good break.

It's just that he doesn't know that what is happening these days is not only what he is seeing in front of him, but that some stories that are closely related to him are moving forward without telling it.

At this moment, near the entrance of the Hogwarts school, which was constantly crowded, Earns, who had not followed Alexander and the others to the staff lounge, had just caught a glimpse of a familiar back.

Due to the event, the school gates are open during this period, and only when the young wizards go to bed at night will they close with defensive spells. Therefore, this figure was particularly natural in the crowd of people who went to Hogsmeade Village.

Or more accurately, it didn't make anyone other than Enns suspicious.

“…… Draco Malfoy? ”

Ens, who was also in the flow of people, was not far behind that back. He seemed to be paying attention to the other party casually, but he was hesitant in his heart.

It's Hogsmeade Day, but it's a "special Hogsmeade Day" when almost no one goes to Hogsmeade Village. His instincts told him that Malfoy's movements were suspicious and worth following.

Merely...... Does Thannes Taon still dare to follow?
