Ron's words, of course, are more just an expression of helplessness.

It's just that, due to Harry's appearance, Troye can't say half a sentence anymore. And the conversation between him and Ron can only be interrupted temporarily.

Ron, who had finally tried to solve this problem, fell short for this, but he couldn't blame Harry for his sudden appearance, and it was really difficult for him.

Of course, compared to this little thing, the upcoming Christmas is undoubtedly much more attractive.

Generally, the Christmas holidays at Hogwarts start before they arrive. As is customary, after a sumptuous Christmas dinner, everyone can go back to their respective homes for the real Christmas.

But this year, when the "Hogwarts Christmas Eve Special Notice" appeared on the bulletin board, everyone was surprised to spread the topic.

"Still sleeping? Don't sleep! This year's Christmas holidays won't start until after Christmas Day—"

"Merlin is in school, do you want us to stay in school even for Christmas?"

"No, no, no, there are three days and two nights before and after Christmas, and there are activities in the school! It is said that the professor of each course will design a special project with a Christmas atmosphere! Of course, if you don't want to participate, you can also submit an application to go home early. ”

"Oh! That's not bad......

"Hey! I'm not done yet—the announcement also says that the Weird Sisters, Lorcan Deys, and many other big stars in the wizarding world will be coming, and they'll all have special stages! ”

"Lorcan? Did I hear me right? Didn't he never accept invitations and only sing at psychedelic shows he held? Oh...... Then I'm definitely not going to go, even if Voldemort is standing in front of me, I won't go back! ”

"Yo, I don't know who used to be in the middle of the night and huddled in bed and shouted for mercy......"

Discussions similar to this conversation are now happening everywhere at Hogwarts. In fact, in the wizarding world, there is no less phenomenon like this in the Muggle world.

For example, the Weird Sisters, a popular group in the wizarding world, have made a huge wave of their creative style of playing rock and roll on classical instruments, attracting a large number of young wizards from all over the world.

As for the "Lorcan Dees" mentioned by the little witches just now, she is a singer-songwriter with a rare bloodline such as a half-blood vampire.

His psychedelic songs, based on the past entanglements between vampires and Muggles, topped the Succubus Music Weekly pop charts for 19 weeks.

It's just that because of his pedigree, there are often some wizards of anti-humanoid blood who slander and belittle him, either explicitly or implicitly, so that he will not accept any invitation to perform in a fit of anger.

However, this time, Lorcan Deis actually came to perform on the Hogwarts stage, which really surprised his fans.

Unbeknownst to them, this was just the result of a letter from Maca to the Vampire Tolerance Society.

"Oh, Hogwarts will be open to the public...... I bet there must have been people inside and outside the school those days! That's hilarious! ”

……

While the young wizards in Hogwarts Castle are excited about the inevitable grand Christmas, Maca, who is the main organizer of that event, is now working an inconspicuous uninhabited island.

As you can see, this small island is full of cluttered and dense trees, and due to its tropical location, the jungle is quite hot and humid.

But Maca just sat on a large boulder that she didn't know where she got it, and was intently carving a curved stone slab.

If you look around him, you will see that he is surrounded by hundreds of finished stone slabs of similar size and shape, covered with all kinds of different symbols and lines.

In fact, in recent days, he has come here almost every day to carve stone slabs, and often does so for hours. If he didn't have a class schedule in the morning, he would even sit on this island until the afternoon.

Fortunately, he still has a class for a while today.

No, seeing that he sat there with a calm expression for more than two hours, he suddenly casually put the half-carved stone slab beside him, and then stood up and patted the back of his robe.

"Almost, Christmas Eve is still a few days away, and it will definitely be done before then."

In fact, if it weren't for the small error in some of the tests during the period, he could have done it earlier, and then the time would not have been as tight as it is now.

Muttering so secretly, he activated the portkey in an instant, and appeared in front of the school gate in the blink of an eye.

As the lesson of Ancient Magic Literature was finished, Maca did not leave the classroom immediately, but stayed at the lectern and waited for Hermione to come and ask questions.

Lately, Hermione would often ask him after class to ask him about some deeper knowledge of ancient magic texts, thinking of the practical application of Rune that Hermione had shown Harry and Ron last time, and this "Miss Jack-of-all-trades" was afraid that she was going to stumble to the end in this subject.

This must have been a good thing for Maca, and if Hermione could achieve something in the future, he wouldn't always have to study the magic script alone.

As far as academic research is concerned, no matter how strong a person is, there is a limit, and cooperation and inheritance are indispensable.

After all the doubts in Hermione's stomach were solved, the two of them walked to the auditorium together, ready to have lunch today.

Since the Christmas notice on the bulletin board in the morning became a hot topic, there were so many students in the auditorium who were talking about it that even Maca couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

As long as everyone likes it, it couldn't be better!

"Did Harry go up there again? Missing out on lunch? ”

Parting from Maca with her, Hermione made her way to the Gryffindor table and sat down in her old seat. Only later did she realize that the chair diagonally opposite was still empty.

"Huh?" Ron munched on his food, nodded and said vaguely, "yes! It seems that he is really determined this time...... Well, but it's definitely not okay not to eat it, I'll send it to him in a while. ”

In the past two days, Ron's appetite has increased dramatically, and he has eaten a lot before, but now he has obviously eaten more. Hermione shook her head helplessly when she saw him still stuffing something into his mouth as he spoke.

"Are you going to eat yourself like a pig?"

But when Ron heard this, he just shook the fork in his hand disapprovingly.

"I can't control myself!"

The depression is difficult to dissipate, so he has to use food to suppress it - Ron has embarked on a road of no return to fight violence with violence.

“…… Take your liking! Hermione pursed her lips, not bothering to say anything more about him.

Once everyone had finished their meal, Ron slipped Harry's lunch to the Room of Requirement, while Hermione hurried back to the common room to think for herself about what she had asked Marka.

A lunch break was about to pass, and Ron came running over with a lunch basket, looking a little anxious.

"Hermione," he leaned over the table, lowering his voice and said hurriedly, "something is wrong today, Harry hasn't come out yet!" ”

Since the Bing Room and the Gryffindor common room were on the same floor, Ron's first choice was to turn over to Hermione first.

When Hermione heard this, her face suddenly changed slightly.

But she remembered vividly that Maca had said that as long as Harry was left alone, no one would be harmed. And it was this sentence that made her not panic immediately.

"You go back and guard first, I'll call from Maka's side."

Without waiting for Ron to respond, Hermione immediately stood up and rushed to the door of the common room.

After a while, Maca, who was still drinking tea in her office and taking a break, suddenly noticed that a source of magic power rushed out of the door like the wind, and then a series of knocks rang out on the door.

He flicked the door open with a flick of his hand, and then turned to look in the direction of the door.

"Hermione, what's wrong?"

Knowing that the other party was in such a hurry, there must be something urgent, so he didn't talk nonsense.

"It's Harry—" Hermione said as she panted, leaning against the doorframe, "Ron said he went in before lunch, but still ......"

Before she could finish speaking, Maca understood what she wanted to tell herself.

"Spent the whole noon in there?"

As he walked out, he thought for a while.

But as he had told Hermione at the beginning, if Harry had only been left alone in the enclosed space, nothing would have happened. And even if there was someone else next to him, it would only be the "other person" who would have had an accident, and Harry himself would have been fine.

However, theories are only theories, and everything is especially uncertain. Instead of pondering here, it's better to go over and have a look.

"You and Ron leave that hallway in a moment, don't get too close, you know?"

The two of them ran briskly forward, and Maca gave Hermione a shout.

"Hmm."

Seeing Hermione hurriedly respond, Maca was naturally not at ease, and deliberately reached out and patted her shoulder.

"I'll repeat, don't get too close! Remembered. ”

When it comes to danger, the power of the Gryffindor Sword is definitely not to be underestimated, and in some ways it is even more terrifying than the Monument of Bewilderment and the Mirror of Devouring at the same level.

It's just that its characteristics make it relatively dangerous, so Maca will feel comfortable letting Harry, who seems to have been approved by the sword, try to control it alone.

It didn't take long for Hermione and Maca to reach the hallway outside the Responsive Room, where they saw Ron in a hurry.

"Ron, you stay out of the selage with Hermione and leave it to me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Maca walked back and forth in front of the blank wall.
