Chapter 1322: The Girl's "Little Conspiracy"
"What a good boy! They don't deserve so much responsibility and suffering at this age......"
The Queen, who had barely spoken from the beginning, looked at Harry and Neville, who were exchanging experiences with each other, and suddenly couldn't help but mutter.
Then, she turned her head to look at Maca, who was standing not far from her, and added:
"And you...... Mr. McLean. If I'm not mistaken, you and those two children must have been born in the same year, right? ”
In just over a month, Her Majesty will celebrate her 71st birthday. As a member of the British royal family who experienced the Second World War, she not only saw the noise of war, but also experienced the severity of war.
"Oh yes." Maca shrugged her shoulders and said jokingly, "Your Majesty...... In fact, I also feel that the burden of guarding a city and a capital is indeed too heavy for us. But there is no way, who makes the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility? ”
"If it were possible, I would still like to be able to live a dull and leisurely life, and even now I have been looking forward to it like that."
As she spoke, Maca spread her hands, and then turned to say:
"So, in order for this city to settle down as soon as possible, please let us do our best to solve this unreasonable disaster without any worries!"
The queen couldn't help but shake her head lightly when she heard him say this.
"I know that you all want me to leave London as soon as possible...... But you know what? When World War II broke out when I was 13 years old, many people suggested that my sister and I take refuge in Canada. But my mother said: 'Children must not leave without me, I must not leave without the king, and the king cannot leave under any circumstances.' ’”
Speaking of this, she paused slightly, and then said categorically:
"Now I'm the Queen...... That is to say, I cannot leave this city that is suffering, let alone the people who are going through the test of life and death. ”
This sentence may sound to the ears of others, perhaps it is the majestic declaration of a "king"; But when the white-haired queen in front of her said it, it was more like she was simply stating a fact.
To be honest, in this day and age, the status of queen or king is not so much a supreme power representing the head of a country as a hereditary honorary profession. Even if you still retain some power, in fact, it is very likely that you will not need it for the rest of your life.
On this basis, if something big happens, the obligations derived from those powers will become an irresistible burden.
Maca stood in place, looking at the old man who was more than enough to be his grandmother, and finally shook his head and said:
"Alright! I think we do have to respect your choice as Queen of England. ”
"McLean First"
The old bishop Davidson, who was sitting on the side, wanted to say something, but saw Maca wave his hand and asked him to stop what he was talking about. Then, he turned his head and said to the back:
"Harry, Neville, you two stay here! Until I get rid of all those black-pupil wizards, stay here and do your job as a guard. Also, Mr. Davidson, please come with me, there are a few places that I think should be focused on defense......"
After leaving Harry and Neville behind, Maca beckoned the old bishop out of the large drawing room and into the front hall.
And when the old bishop thought that Maca was going to give some incisive advice, he listened to Maca point to the front garden outside, and said casually:
"It's probably impossible to persuade the queen to cooperate with the evacuation, and my advice is to go back and use the spell to 'convince' her. It's just that for now, there are still quite a few powerful enemies roaming around in clusters outside, so you'd better wait until I'm almost cleared before stealthily withdrawing from London. ”
After lightly and casually giving such a helpless solution, Maca suddenly reminded again:
"Then, remember to evacuate quickly, although I left Harry and Neville to you, and with their ability to handle many unexpected situations, it is not absolute. I believe that in the future, Helbo's methods will be sharper...... After all, this time there is no room for error on our side, but he is obviously the same! ”
"Can't you just find that guy and let you drag him down?" Old Davidson said with some confusion, "I've heard that you've 'killed' him many times!" Even if he can't kill him, can he do it again? ”
"Since you all know that he can't be killed, then why didn't you notice that he is stronger every time he is resurrected?" Maca said a little helplessly, "So far, in terms of personal strength, I am already on par with him." And even if I try to kill him again...... Next time, I wouldn't dare say that there are still a few people in this world who are his opponents. ”
In fact, that despicable Helmpo has not fully recovered to his peak condition until now, and Maca is somewhat aware of this.
It's hard to imagine how powerful such a wizard who has lived from antiquity to the present can finally become...... Of course, Maca didn't want to know at all.
"Alright," after a slight pause, Maca sighed, "I have to go, time is running out." ”
……
"Luna, thank goodness you really live...... Wake up! You don't know, if you lie down so coldly, I may not be able to forgive myself for the rest of my life......"
In fact, until Maca left St. Mungo, Hermione was still holding Luna tightly and refused to let go. And her face was already full of tears.
There is no doubt that in the past few days, she really thought that she had said goodbye to Luna. And even if Luna didn't die because she wanted to save her, she couldn't bear the difference between life and death, let alone Luna saved her twice in a row.
On the other hand, Luna only stunned for a while, and then let Hermione's two arms strangle her, and a calm smile appeared on her face.
"Hermione?"
She didn't know that she had saved Hermione's life, and she hadn't known that she had almost died...... All she knew was that she seemed to faint in a daze when she got up at night to go to the bathroom.
However, this does not prevent her from making her own interpretation of everything in front of her.
"It's alright, Hermione...... Anyway, aren't I standing here? You have to trust Maca, he will take care of everything! So no matter what happens, don't be afraid. ”
After sensing a slight grunge from Hermione's arms, Luna pulled out one of her arms and reached out to touch Hermione's long, tousled hair.
She was trying to soothe the other party, just like she had done when she had appeased Maca before.
But a moment later, when Hermione finally calmed down, what the other party said made Luna puzzled. Hermione leaned into her ear and sobbed softly:
"Luna, I'm not going to fight you for maca anymore...... Because I have understood that only a person like you, who is smart, brave and can perform miracles at a critical moment, can really help him and deserve him. And I'm ...... No matter how much preparation you make, you can only stay in place in the end, and you can't even move! ”
"Huh?"
Luna was a little confused by Hermione's words, but she didn't ask anything. Because her intuition tells her that there are some things that are the right choice not to figure out.
However, that's all that happened before, but Hermione's mentality is obviously not what she wants to see, is this still the competitive and even occasionally reckless Miss Hermione Granger in the past?
Luna may have liked Maca, but Hermione was also a good friend of hers, and she didn't want her proud friend to suddenly change.
You know, the Miss Granger who has to fight for everything is the Miss Granger she knows.
"Hermione."
With a little effort, Luna pushed Hermione away from her. After seeing that her face was full of tears, he took out a handkerchief printed with red cherries and wiped it for her, and then whispered in a voice that no one else around could hear:
"You know what? In fact, there is no need for us to fight for maca, because no matter what, it should be his choice, right? Since you've already confessed, it's up to me next time, and then ...... We don't have to worry about him, let him do it himself! ”
"Uh...... Huh? ”
When Hermione showed a "still have this hand" expression, Luna hugged her in turn.
"Alright! So do it! After this matter is over, let's go and embarrass him and see what he can do! ”
So far, the three of them have been through so much, it is absolutely impossible to say that Maca still doesn't have Hermione in her heart.
It's just that the continuous events have left Maca with no time to think about these personal issues.
Seeing that Luna was about to run to the side to find Ginny after finishing speaking, Hermione hurriedly said:
Luna...... How can this work? You"
"Shh
Luna jerked around and raised her index finger to Hermione's side, motioning for her to say more. Then he waved his hand casually, and turned to Ginny, who was worried about Harry's revisit.
Hermione looked at Luna's brisk back, and the tip of her nose couldn't help but feel sour.
“…… Luna. ”
After whispering, Hermione finally pursed her lips and sat down on the edge of the bed, not noticing a slight sigh in Ron's eyes at the end of the bed.
