Chapter 1875: An Inexplicable Pause
"Goo...... Gollum ......"
A series of bubbles tumbled, floated upwards, and burst on the surface of the lake. Maca raised her head slightly, not knowing what she was thinking, but she floated in the water for a moment before she rolled over and continued to dive towards the slightly deeper bottom of the lake.
There were some aquatic plants underneath, swaying slowly with the current, only to sway violently when Maca approached, and then to go on with their uneventful routine.
Soon, after rounding a mound at the bottom of the lake, a dark grotto hidden deep underwater was revealed to Maca.
He had been here before, so he knew that he would be able to enter the stone temple beneath the bottom of the lake.
It's just that...... In fact, it can be seen that since she came to the Albanian side today, Maca has been hesitating without doing anything. It's as if there are still a lot of thoughts that are holding him back, preventing him from completely making up his mind to do things.
Even if he knows that in order to change some of the status quo, some things are actually inevitable and must be done by someone who is responsible for it. And he is the one who has to take responsibility because of a thought.
Unless he can be like Helbo, he can regard all the obstacles around him as a burden, and he can easily abandon it if he has no use value.
Yes, he's also experienced first-hand what it's like to be ruthless—that's where it started. But it is precisely because of this that he understands that he is by no means a person who can give up his ties for granted.
Just imagine, when a person who has been deprived of emotions and emotions will still forcibly use reason to piece together emotional thinking to make decisions when encountering things. How can this kind of person be separated from human affection and sophistication?
"Whew-"
Suddenly, Maca exhaled again, causing them to turn into bubbles and move away from her. After a few seconds of silence, he frowned slightly, and silently sank into the dark grotto passage.
"Whoa!"
When Maca emerged from the other end, she was already in a waterhole at the other end. There was no light in the dark cave, and you couldn't see your fingers at a glance.
He raised his hand to summon a cloud of light, and then floated out of the pool and landed on the stone steps ahead. After habitually dusting off his robe, which did not touch half a drop of lake water, he walked up the steep steps to the depths of the cave.
The sound of dry footsteps reflected between the walls of the cave that were gradually widening around them, and slowly overlapped together, reaching the bottom of the cave.
……
"Luna, it's time to eat—"
In recent days, the sound has been heard in a corridor of Beauxbatons Castle, and it is no exception today.
Fleur walked to Luna's room door with a steady walk with a basket, and then knocked on the door with a familiar hand.
Speaking of which, Luna's previous injuries were almost healed, and she was able to get out of bed and walk around on her own long ago - in fact, she hadn't been in bed all the time lately.
However, Fleur could feel that Luna was clearly reluctant to go out. Whenever I came to look for her, I always found her alone in the room, either reading a book at the table or basking in the sun in front of the window.
So every time she had a meal, Fleur would often bring food to her room and dine with her.
To be honest, Fleur actually likes the feeling she feels when she's with Luna. She thought the girl was funny, quiet and cheerful, and it would take a long time for her to realize that Luna was actually a very considerate girl.
"Oh, Fleur you're here...... Come in......"
Hearing Luna's response, she unscrewed the doorknob, pushed the door open, and walked in.
"Luna, didn't you say last time you drank all the butterbeer you brought out? Lo and behold, yesterday I asked Mrs. Lopez to bring us a few bottles...... Oh! What are you doing? ”
Fleur walked inside and lifted a bottle from the dining basket, only to look up to find Luna lying on the table, quietly staring at a small object.
"I'm practicing magic," Luna said without looking back, and then she reacted, and quickly turned around and said, "Oh! Butterbeer ...... It's nice that my oak stopper necklace is just two stoppers away! ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Fleur saw the little thing that had just been staring at Luna suddenly jump up from the table, and then "click" and landed on top of Luna's head.
This time, Fleur finally saw clearly, it was a small gray flying squirrel.
"What kind of magic are you practicing? Transfiguration? ”
Fleur said, placing the basket and bottle on the small round table beside her, then walked over to Luna and shook her index finger in front of the flying squirrel.
The next moment, after staring at her finger a few times, the flying squirrel suddenly opened its mouth to bite, which frightened Fleur and withdrew her hand.
"Haha!"
At that moment, the little flying squirrel didn't bite down, but Luna laughed happily.
"It's not Transfiguration," she said with a smile, "it's heart-to-heart communication." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Fleur saw Luna raise her hand, and the flying squirrel jumped from the top of her head to the palm of her outstretched hand. Then, with Luna's other hand pointing to the bed, the flying squirrel leaped into the air almost at the same moment, spread its limbs and glided over, then tumbled on the soft quilt.
"This ...... Isn't this a Imperius curse? Fleur looked at it and couldn't help but ask a little stunned.
"No, no, it's not the same - if she doesn't want me to force her to do it, that's the Imperius Curse! Julie is my new friend. ”
Luna shook her head, then got up from her chair and walked briskly over to the small round table in the dining basket. After rummaging for a while, she took out the bread from it, broke off a small half, and sent it to the little flying squirrel.
"Hey! Don't eat in bed—" Fleur reminded, and when she saw that the little flying squirrel was already holding the bread and began to nibble on it, she had to shake her head helplessly, "Okay! Anyway, come and eat! ”
She opened the bottle and filled two cups with her, then laid out the contents of the basket one by one on the small round table, and beckoned Luna to come and sit down.
Soon, I saw Luna pick up the cup and smell it, and then the mood that was still very good dropped a little.
"Maca prefers the butterbeer at the Hog's Head Bar."
"Hog's Head Bar?" Fleur thought for a moment and said, "Oh, I remember, it's the old pub in the corner of Hogsmeade...... There's a big-bearded wizard in there. ”
"Well, that's Dumbledore's brother......"
As she said this, Luna suddenly seemed to feel something, and she was stunned with her cup in her hand.
