Chapter 2033: Goodwill?
"Filius, you'reβ"
When Professor Flitwick returned, he brought in a large number of students, and Sprout and the others were a little surprised.
"I've seen Minerva," Flitwick said, waving his wand to make the students lie down on the deck one by one, "just ...... She's in a strange situation, and she's already gone to the back cabin just in case. β
With that, he recounted the fact that Professor McGonagall had not heard the previous screech, and mentioned that McGonagall had taken the initiative to isolate herself from everyone.
Snape furrowed his brow at first, and his face showed a slight hesitation.
Clearly, like McGonagall, he was concerned about the fact that the already unclear scourge had been mixed in with an element that was inconsistent with most of the facts.
However, at about the same point in time, McGonagall, who had already walked to the rear cabin area of the Change alone, had a new guess because of a coincidence that was not a coincidence.
β¦β¦
"Click...... Click...... Click......"
The sound of footsteps, echoing through the deserted aisles, became somewhat distinct.
McGonagall was making her way down the passage to the office she had left before, but on the way, as if she had thought of something, she made a slight detour past the professor's rest area.
Since she had already known that most of the professors had been called to the deck by Tia when she met Flitwick earlier, there was naturally no one on the rest area at this time.
Yes, except for Trelawney and Bubhaji.
"Tuk-tuk."
After reaching for a hatch, she decisively reached out and knocked on it.
"Who?"
"Kerrydy, it's me, McGonagall."
Before she could finish speaking, the door opened from the insideβit was the Muggle Studies Professor Kerreddy Bubbaghy.
"Professor McGonagall, are you here? Come on in! β
Bubaji hurriedly turned to the side and tried to let McGonagall into the room, but McGonagall immediately waved her hand and refused her.
"No, for some personal reasons, I'd better not go in...... What happened to Sybil? β
"Still asleep!"
Bubbaji was a little surprised by McGonagall's refusal, but she wasn't the one to get to the bottom of everything, after all, she wasn't very good at those serious magical studies, and even if she did, it would be in vain.
Seeing McGonagall mention Trelawney, she subconsciously glanced back inside, and then said worriedly:
"Professor McGonagall, you know! Sybil has been in bad form since the last time...... This time it happened again, and I was worried that she wouldn't be able to hold on. β
Speaking of this, she said with some shame:
"But let's be honest, the terrible beep from before...... Oh, I barely made it through myself. When I passed out in front of me, I thought I might not wake up. β
That's right, when that mental attack was launched before, because Bubaji's willpower was not as strong as that of other professors, she almost fainted on the spot like the students. But fortunately, she woke up on her own afterwards and did not end up in the same situation as most young wizards.
After all, no matter what, she is still an adult wizard with some accumulation. Even if magic studies such as spell science are not her specialty, the strength of her mental will is always stronger than that of ordinary students under the accumulated spell casting exercises.
But...... Just as Bubaji feared, it was not easy to say about Trelawney in the room.
I remember last time because she had already experienced a very special prophecy, the prophecy was clear and large-scale, and it was actually a bit too much for her.
Originally, with her prophetic bloodline, her spiritual strength alone would definitely not be lost to anyone on the ship. But now, she who has consumed too much because of the prophecy may not be able to withstand the spiritual impact of this time.
And perhaps because of this, Bubbaghi, who already knew something about the situation outside, did not take Trelawney to the deck, because although the latter was still fainting, no one knew if she might burst out at any time like those little wizards.
"Carredy," McGonagall said after a moment's thought, "this time...... Did Sybil say anything in his sleep? You know what I mean - is there anything like prophecy? β
There is no doubt that McGonagall made a detour to ask this question at the moment, knowing that she had better not approach anyone else.
Today, Trelawney's prophecy is so credible that she would like to hear it as a reference. Especially...... So far, the accident is still in a state of confusion.
Unfortunately, she soon saw Bubaji shaking his head.
"No," she said, "Sybil didn't say anything, but ...... It's always been a peaceful feeling. β
However, the next moment she said this, the two people on the other side of the door suddenly heard a somewhat muffled murmur in the room. Because of the silence, they could hear very clearly.
ββ¦β¦ Goodwill...... Wandering at sea...... Goodwill ......"
It's just such a fragmented dream, and it can't even be considered a complete word, let alone a prophecy. McGonagall and Bubaji couldn't help but glance at each other, and both saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
"It's Sybil...... But what does that mean? Bubaji said in a daze.
Honestly, if it weren't quiet enough here, you might have misheard those few words. But even if they heard it all, they already didn't know what to do.
For Bubaji's question, McGonagall thought for a while, and could only shake his head.
"Maybe it's a reminder, right?" She frowned slightly and said, "'Goodwill'? Could it be ...... Is there any help coming? Is it Maca? β
Even if you force thinking, it is very far-fetched, and if you think about it for a while, you will feel that it is ridiculous to think about it randomly.
Perhaps, is this really just an ordinary dream quote from Trelawney? It's as if you've read a book by Gilderoy Lockhart and you're trying to write a profound and subtle one, which only makes people laugh when you look back.
"Kerreddy, you stay here and take care of Sybil...... Remember to be as careful as possible, and if that doesn't work, go straight to Severus on deck and find them! β
After admonishing Bubaji, McGonagall eventually left on her own, feeling more confused.
