Chapter 864: Time is Ticking
"Ron......
"Hmm."
"Uh...... You sit first, sit down first! β
"Oh, okay."
"That...... Hey, I mean...... Would you like something to drink? β
"Maka, I'm not thirsty...... Seriously, don't worry, just say what you know! β
At noon that day, Maca called Ron into her office. But to be honest, it's hard for anyone to talk about this kind of thing.
He kind of understood what Hermione had experienced this morning...... I feel like I'm in a dilemma.
"No," Maka thought for a moment, and suddenly asked in reverse, "Ron...... Before I say that, I want to ask you something. For example, what should a person do if they fall in love with someone they shouldn't like? β
When Ron heard this, he was suddenly stunned.
"You're saying she shouldn't like me?" He said in a daze, "Or ...... Are you referring to the previous time when I liked Hermione? β
"No, it's not like that!" Maca immediately shook her head and said, "You don't have to think about anything else, just tell me what your answer will be to this question." β
"Hmm...... You know, I'm going to choose to step away. Ron really didn't think much about it this time, and said bluntly, "If you really like each other, then you should know how not to embarrass them." β
Speaking of which, he also spread his hands at Maca.
"Think from someone else's point of view," Ron squeezed out a helpless smile, "Maca, that's still what you made me understand, isn't it?" β
To see a Ron who has become so open-minded, Maca is still very relieved in the end. It's a pity that he has to let such an open-minded Ron face the subversive test of "that" next, which makes people a little unbearable.
"Yes, you're quite right," asked Maca after a pause, "Well, there's one more question - if you say that someone found something...... And understand that if the other person knows about it, both of them will feel very painful......"
ββ¦β¦ Should that person tell the other party about it? β
"Both of them will be miserable?" Ron confirmed with a puzzled expression.
"That's right." Maca replied.
"That'...... Still don't talk about it, right? Ron hesitated, but it didn't take long for him to shake his head, "No, let's say it!" I think if I keep talking about it, the 'other person' might be more relaxed, but the first person will probably be ...... sooner or later."
He didn't know how to describe it, so he simply didn't say anything and shrugged his shoulders at Maca.
Maca nodded, understanding Ron's choice.
"Then I'll say," he said again in the face of two questions, "and it wasn't complicatedβthe Ravenclaw named 'Troye Vinci,' he was a boy. β
He's a boy.
It's a boy.
Boy.
β¦β¦
"Uh...... Well? Ron blinked, "What did you just say he was?" β
But Maca didn't repeat what he had said, he just smiled subtly.
"Don't worry, you heard me right."
However, Ron preferred to believe that he had misheard.
β¦β¦
Maca could almost imagine that Ron would be incredibly complicated in the days to come. But compared to the citizens of Haifa, Israel, this little bit of his bad thing is nothing at all.
Overnight, the whimsical Sirius turned the entire city of Haifa upside down.
He started at the location of the Heeberg School of Magic, and walked around the perimeter in circles along the way, starting a fire irregularly as he ran.
If you look at it afterwards, you will find that most of the buildings he picked were unoccupied, and when he really didn't have to pick them, he would set them on fire after he had taken the Muggles out of the house.
After a long time of igniting fires all over Haifa, the flames that spread everywhere finally turned most of the city red.
Sirius, however, was not at all worried that the fire would hurt too many people, for Helbo would soon understand that he was simply throwing dirt on the water.
And once Helbo understands this, will he let the situation continue to worsen?
Now Helbo needs time, although he also tossed it hard at first, and even the Ministry of Magic was burned to the ground.
But it was a ploy he used to deter, cover up, and win over.
Now that the plan is progressing well, he naturally doesn't want to focus more attention on himself after achieving his goal.
The so-called "everything should be known in moderation" is often a truth that people must understand when doing great things.
It's a pity that Helbo understands this truth, but Sirius can also imagine it.
A seemingly huge city fire, but in fact thunder and rain, was extinguished in a short time. Some of them were done by the Muggle fire brigade, while others were later sent by Helpo.
Even Sirius himself helped destroy two places in the end.
Of course, his behavior is somewhat superfluous strictly speaking, and it will definitely delay some unnecessary time. For this reason, he was almost surrounded by the men sent by Helmpo to hunt him down.
Thankfully, the city was filled with smoke, and he was eventually able to escape in his Animagus form.
ββ¦β¦ Remus, how's it going? Doesn't that sound exciting? β
After returning to his makeshift hideout, Sirius began to deal with some of the scrapes and bruises on his body, and he recounted the whole process to Lupin as he drugged himself.
If you look at it from his point of view, it's a thrilling action. And to be honest, being able to come back without danger this time, his Animagus transformation really helped a lot!
"What you do is not 'emotional'?"
Lupin shook his head helplessly, with a "I can't help you" expression.
"But then, we won't be able to stay here for the time being......," he pondered, "and I'll write a note to Kingsley in a moment, asking to return." It is estimated that in three days at the latest, the situation in Israel should be greatly changed! β
At this point, Sirius, who had healed his wound, tossed aside the roll of bandage in his hand, looked up and pouted.
"I don't want to go back at all...... Okay, though! We really need to avoid it. β
Such a big disturbance has been a serious violation of the International Secrecy Law promulgated by the Federation.
If Muggles were to be made aware of the existence of wizarding and wizarding worlds, the consequences would be unpredictable, and the responsibility alone would be enough for a large number of people, led by Arkinbad, to resign.
If nothing else, the International Confederation of Wizards will definitely put aside all the plans that were still in preparation. Except for ordering all the men to go straight to Israel, he didn't think about anything else.
"Are your wounds all bandaged?"
Lupin couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw Sirius being extremely intelligent this timeβit seems that this guy who is always stubborn will also have a weak heart?
"When you're done, come and change my medicine!"
Regarding the topic just now, he didn't say anything more, and said lightly: "It's inconvenient for me to work my waist." β
β¦β¦
This day, in fact, passed quickly for many people.
For example, Ron, he was stimulated a lot, and the whole day was basically spent in a daze; Another example is Maca, who finished class in the morning and barely solved Ron's problem at noon, and spent the whole afternoon researching.
And another example...... In fact, Helbo also felt that today's time was like flowing water, slipping through his fingers without paying attention.
Speaking of which, Sirius caused him this big mess, and it really caused him a lot of trouble.
Of course, he was not afraid of the International Confederation of Wizards, but the forcible cut-off of his original plan annoyed him.
Now that he hadn't gotten the Demon Summoning Technique, and second, he hadn't reached an agreement with some of the surrounding forces, it was as if his recent busy work had been completely wasted.
"It seems that without coming up with something that really works, the city alone may not be able to control it."
Underneath the school, Helmbo stood in a slightly empty chamber.
In fact, the Heeberg Academy of Magic originally did not have an underground secret room, and this was simply a huge room that he had carved out by himself.
At the moment, Helmo is magically controlling a pen, carefully sketching various patterns and symbols on the flat ground.
Obviously, he was constructing some kind of magic formation.
If Maca's rune array looks like a magic circuit diagram, then Helbo's one looks like a real ancient magic array.
If I had to compare it, it might be more like the kind of array that Rowena left behind - yes, the magic array that immersed Maca in a story and sealed her emotions with it.
Looking at Helbo's expression at this time, you can know that even he looks quite serious when he is drawing the magic array.
Or, a wizard of his level would understand how terrible the consequences would be if something went wrong!
However, if you want to talk about this underground secret room, you have to talk about the locations around this unfinished magic circle.
It can be seen that in the large darkness near it, there seem to be figures standing. None of them moved in the shadows, and the light from the torches near the magic circle could only faintly see the outlines of some human figures.
In fact, as long as they noticed the creepiness of those figures, it would be difficult for most people to care about what was going on with the magic array in the middle.
