"Sirius, I've made it clear to those elves, you can take them to London now and settle them for the time being. If anything happens over there, they'll be a pretty reliable ......."

"Besides, the spiders I raised—the ones you've seen—are those alienated eight-eyed giant spiders. A large number of them were left in London by me last time...... You bring Hachi with you, and it will help you mobilize some of them for battle when you need them. ”

On the edge of the Forbidden Forest, Maca, who had just returned from the elf's territory, was talking to Sirius about his plans.

Truth be told, from the moment he realized that the meteorite was going to fall on Hogwarts, he had already guessed that Helmo would not miss such a good opportunity.

And in order to prevent Helbo from doing another London raid while he was dealing with the meteorite, Maca thought it would be a good idea to let the elves in the Forbidden Forest take care of him.

With the magical talent of these unenslaved "wild" elves, and the cooperation of his more and more spider friends, the power that can be exerted should not be underestimated.

"Well, unless it's Helbo himself, it should be more than enough!"

Sirius nodded, and then said with a little curiosity:

"Can spiders only mobilize a fraction?"

"Yes...... At least until I remove the threat of meteorites and go to London, only a small part of what can be freely called upon to you. And the rest of them, I have other uses. ”

"Okay!"

Sirius shrugged, then watched as Maca gently summoned a spider the size of a thumb nail from her sleeve and naturally handed it to him.

"What does it like to eat?"

"Huh? Are you interested in raising a few as well? Maca smiled and said, "The eight-eyed giant spider's favorite food, that must be people!" Although their bloodlines have changed, they are still eight-eyed giant spiders in their background...... Well, in case of a fight with the dark wizard under Helmo's hands, remember to keep an eye on it, and if you smell the blood, you may be a little impatient. ”

"I'll take care of the kids."

Hearing Maca say this, Sirius didn't answer, but was preempted by Hachi, who was standing on the back of Maca's hand.

"That's good—"

Maca nodded in satisfaction, and then let Hachi climb onto Sirius. Seeing that Sirius seemed a little uncomfortable, Maca suddenly waved his hand and said:

"Don't worry about it, you just have to go about it - I don't think it's stupid enough to sit on your ass!"

"I hope so!"

Sirius thought for a moment, and saw that there didn't seem to be anything else to say, so he finally said:

"Then I'll go to London and find a place where I can hide such a large group of elves, and when I'm ready to hide, I'll pick them up—"

"Oh, no, no," Maca shook her head, "Did I forget to say that?" You can just take them to St. Mungo's - there's a lot of space in the underground storage room! ”

"You've already told the dean?"

Sirius's question made Demaka stunned for a moment, but he soon said unconcernedly:

"Well, that's not the case...... But I'm sure he'll agree! That's a good-hearted man! ”

As he spoke, he suddenly turned his head as if he felt something, and looked in the direction of the castle. And in the next moment, the top of the Astronomy Tower, located at the highest point of the castle, suddenly erupted with a soft light.

"Oh! Did Hermione and Luna start the trial start? ”

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the light rush upwards like a beam of unexploded fireworks, and then hang steadily over the castle.

After that, just a few seconds of waiting, a translucent magical shield began to form from the ball of light in all directions. Judging by the speed at which the shield is formed, it should soon be possible to envelop the entire castle in it.

But at the moment when the magic shield was about seventy percent formed, somehow, both Maca and Sirius noticed that the entire shield suddenly vibrated slightly.

Immediately after, the two of them saw that the shield layer seemed to be unable to hold on, and it crumbled and disappeared from the edge little by little.

Calculating the time, the whole process from the appearance of the light cluster to the complete collapse of the magic shield lasted about a minute.

"It's okay!"

Maca nodded, as if not disappointed by the apparently failed result, and even gave a not-so-bad evaluation.

"Is the combination error tolerance rate of the ancient magic text so low?" Sirius wondered.

"Yes! After all, the more complex things are...... the more afraid of mistakes," Maca spread her hands, "and it can run on the first test start, which is already very good!" Hermione and Luna were very attentive. ”

……

"Oh! Failed - what went wrong? ”

At the top of the Astronomical Tower, Ron craned his neck to look at the position of the dissipated light, obviously regretful. And at his feet, the core rune plate of the formation carved by Maca himself, the brilliance on it was fading little by little.

Neither Hermione nor Luna answered Ron's questions, as they were crouching over the drawings discussing the pros and cons of the trial.

Ginny, who was standing on the edge of the observatory looking at the scenery, suddenly spoke:

"Isn't it normal to fail? If it could be done the first time, it would be too easy—"

"But...... Isn't that easy? When Ron heard this, he said with a bitter face, "In order to order the slate, our pocket money was exchanged for Muggle pounds and spent!" ”

When Ginny heard this, she just pursed her lips and glared at him.

"Money junkies!"

"Don't gossip there, come here, we need to go to the back and move a few slates......" Coldly, Hermione suddenly turned around and beckoned, "There are five slates in total, and they all have to be readjusted." Also, we need to inspect all the slabs to see if there is any damage. ”

"All of them?" Ron blinked and sighed in a daze, "Merlin is on top...... Wouldn't we have to run all over the school? ”

Hermione said as a matter of course:

"It's just the first time – every time we start after that, we need to check the slate, you know? Remember what I said, and don't let me remind you next time...... The fog in London is suspicious, and we must complete this array as soon as possible, without any further delay. ”

"Oh! Of course, I'll remember! ”

Ron nodded honestly, and immediately ran to the stairs in the middle of the observatory.

"Where are you going?" Seeing this, Hermione hurriedly shouted, "Didn't you hear what I just said?" Go adjust the slate first, then check it out! I haven't even said which slabs they are! ”

Just as Ron stopped in embarrassment, Luna, who was beside Hermione, suddenly spoke:

"Hermione, take Ron to the east! Ginny and I got to the west - the numbers were already set anyway, so it would be quicker to do it separately! ”

"Well, so be it!"

With that, Hermione rolled up the blueprints on the floor and headed for Ron.

"Hermione looks a little anxious," Ginny whispered as she looked at Hermione's back, her brother Ron, who already seemed to be being reprimanded again, "Is it ...... Is she going to rush to London as soon as this array is finished? ”

Luna saw that there was a worried look on Ginny's face, and then she smiled cleanly.

"That's right! It must be so. ”

"Yes...... Didn't Maca say it all and won't let us go? ”

Although I can understand Hermione's feelings, after all, her home is near London. But Maca said so, she still insisted on going, will it affect Maca's preparation?

And to be honest, as careful as Maca naturally will not forget Hermione's family, presumably he will also ensure the safety of the Grangers.

Luna, however, seemed to understand Hermione's thoughts. I saw that she was walking towards the stairs with Ginny as well, and said softly in her voice as clear as ever:

"Because...... That's Hermione! ”

Perhaps only Luna, who is good at inadvertently perceiving people's hearts, will understand that Hermione wants to go to London, although she is worried about her family, but more of she wants to do something for people.

Whether it was an innocent Muggle citizen, a terrified ordinary wizard, or even the Aurors and strikers who were busy dealing with anomalies, Hermione probably wanted to help in any way she could.

And in fact, it may also be like a gathering of things! Most of them had similar thoughts, but they were more or less sensitive and eager to do such issues like Hermione.

"Then you'd better persuade her!"

Just as Luna and Ginny had come down from the Astronomy Tower and were about to run west around the castle, Maca's voice rang out from behind them.

"Huh?" Luna suddenly stopped and turned back, and said in surprise, "Maka, how did you come after us?" I don't seem to feel it at all? ”

"Because I came here secretly, like listening to what you're talking about......" Maka smiled slightly, "and since I came here secretly, how could I let you find out?" ”

After that, he deliberately repeated:

"Tell her not to think about going to London again...... Maybe you'll be able to go to the Burrow for a while after you're done with all the work here! I'll let Hermione's mom and dad go to your house and disturb them! ”

This last sentence he was clearly saying to Ginny.

Obviously, the Weasleys were a good place to be, and the Weasleys were more hospitable than the other, and both were very fond of children.

Truth be told, even Maca herself would love to stay at their house for a while longer.

Soon, though, after a moment's thought, he shook his head.

“…… Forget it, I'll go and tell her myself! ”
