Whenever turmoil occurs, children are always the hope for the future.

Recently, even Maca can't help but think of this like everyone else, so he deliberately stirred up the fighting spirit of the two "little flames" of the Werther family.

Because to be honest, maybe the Werther family does have a very good bloodline, so that the talents of these two children seem to be very good. If they can be cultivated well, they will at least become the backbone of the rebellion against Helbo in the future.

However, let's tell the truth more bluntly! No matter how talented a child of their age is, it can only be regarded as a burden until they really grow up.

That's the price of trying to keep hope.

Yes, maybe the truth is always not so pleasant, and sometimes even cruel. However, we can only face it, measure it, and face it...... For the sake of a few possibilities in the future, and protect more fires from being extinguished.

After all, a dead "hope" obviously can't be called a "hope", can it?

Merely...... Obviously, Maca, who has been thinking about these general directions, does not actually have the "realization" that he should have on the surface. Because he has actually forgotten that in the eyes of others, he is probably also a "super great flame of hope".

No matter how good he was, in terms of appearance and age, he was just a minor the same age as Harry and the others!

"Maca, next...... Just give these two children to me! I'll take care of them. ”

Lupin looked at the older child who had stopped his brother, and then at Maca, who seemed to want to provoke the two children again, and finally couldn't help but take this kind of child-educating chores onto himself.

He certainly didn't think Maca was doing something wrong. Seriously, Maca did a great job, and even if he were to come, it would be difficult to make a child with a dead heart speak so quickly with just a few words.

It's just that if you have to worry about Maca to worry about these things, isn't it a bit too much?

Although Lupin also forgets Maca's real age from time to time, this is obviously not a reason to let Maca do everything, if Maca's "best hope" falls, then it should really be desperate.

"Dead hope is not hope" is just as valid for Maca.

"Huh?"

Seeing that Lupin took the initiative to take care of things, Maca paused slightly.

To be honest, if it were someone else, he would probably have to think about it, but he still quite agreed with Lupin's ability in this regard. So after a pause, he nodded his head as well.

"Okay...... Then you can take them to settle down first! I'll just come to the mercury statue in the square in a moment! ”

Yes, Maca still has a lot to do, especially those that are difficult to find a replacement for him. So don't add unnecessary things to him.

Maca watched as Lupin quickly walked away from the two children who had re-shut their mouths, and only after they had both walked out of the new hall of the Ministry of Magic did he turn to look at Sirius again.

Well, of course, he was mostly looking at the living corpse behind Sirius, being held hostage and guarded by two Aurors.

Aside from the two Werther children, this is also a big problem. The thought of the scene where Charlotte would have known about this in case he couldn't help but start to have a headache.

"Sirius, did you notice anything else besides those two children? For example, are there any other living corpses wandering around? ”

Seeing that Maca suddenly asked about this, Sirius was stunned for a moment, but quickly shook his head and said:

"No, he's just the one - in fact, there is a tendency for the 'dead' to increase in the outer parts of the London fog at the moment, but in general there are not many of them. I haven't seen two of them together anyway! ”

"Really?"

Hearing this, Maca couldn't help but nod slightly.

"Maca?" Seeing this, Sirius frowned slightly and said, "Did you think of something again, can you tell me about it?" ”

"Huh?"

When Maca, who was thinking about something, heard this, she smiled at Sirius.

"It's nothing, I just want to know what Helbo is doing and what he's thinking at the moment - there are a lot of bodies in the city of London that haven't had time to deal with, and if this continues, they will all become Helbo's army of troublemakers. If there is a sudden and significant increase in the number of 'dead' on the border, it may mean that Helbo no longer needs to hide in the fog to accumulate strength. ”

At this point, Maca waved her hand again, and then continued:

"Of course, according to what you said, this possibility has clearly not yet materialized. That said, we should still have time. ”

Seeing that Maca mentioned the possibility of Helmo personally ending, Sirius couldn't help but tense his nerves.

For those of them who can only be said to be ordinary modern wizard powerhouses, even if they are the subordinates that Helbo made before, it is tricky enough. If Helmo personally led a large number of living corpses out of London, then except for a few people such as Maca, Harry, and Neville, it seemed that the others would only have the option of "shrinking and defending".

Blocking Helbo head-on is by no means something that ordinary people can do! They can only go up to die.

"Maka, seriously...... Do you have any great ideas? ”

Since they all talked about this topic, although Sirius didn't ask very clearly, he still understood what he meant as soon as he heard it.

"It's a pity, when the time comes, I'm afraid I won't have more ways than you!" Maca shrugged her shoulders and said, "I've been thinking about it for a while, but you've seen it - I have almost nothing to do other than save people. I have to admit that Helbo is indeed a very formidable enemy. ”

Maca is also very helpless, even now that Helbo has not fully controlled the demon's body, he can only hold on when the other party fights directly. If Helbo completely occupies that almost indestructible shell...... Unless Maca can pick up the Gryffindor Sword, there may still be some hope of defeating the other side, right?

However, that is simply not possible - the Gryffindor Sword, which requires pure courage, I am afraid that I will not be able to match him in this life.

"Or ...... Find a way to train Harry again? ”

As soon as this thought came to my heart, it was extinguished by Maca herself.

"Let me think about it again! There is still a little time to ......" he said, suddenly raising his voice and shouting at the door, "Tonks! I know you're there - come in! ”

Seeing Tonks immediately walk in from outside the door, Maca turned to Sirius and said:

"Let Tonks take you to this cell, and leave Mr. Norman Witt there, and your two brothers will keep watch down there...... I'll have to think hard about what to do with him before I decide. ”
