“…… Well, I see, I'll negotiate with the International Confederation of Wizards, and I'll leave it to you on the school side, Professor McGonagall. ”

In the Headmaster's Office, Maca had just discussed with McGonagall what to do about the previous commotion.

It stands to reason that this kind of incident, which involves casualties, is undoubtedly bad for a game. But fortunately, thanks to Sarah's blessing, the solution was quite timely, so there was no excessive chaos at the scene.

"Oh, yes." After discussing with Professor McGonagall, Maca suddenly continued, "Madame Maxim and Steward Lemay should be back tomorrow, and I think it's time for us to make the final preparations for the meeting." ”

"Really?" Professor McGonagall, who was sitting behind her desk, quickly looked up when she heard this, "So, you've already replied?" ”

Maca nodded.

"Just now," he said, "I went to Sita and borrowed a barn owl...... Alas, if I had to say, I'd rather it fly safely to its destination. ”

"There's no way around it," McGonagall shook her head, but paused as if she had thought of something, "...... Ah, speaking of which, Mr. Potter came to you just now, and it looks like something urgent. ”

"Harry? That is, when I went to the owl shed to send a letter? ”

When Maca heard this, she immediately went through the recent events in her mind.

Truth be told, the appearance of the bald old man was a reminder that the wizarding world was not as peaceful as he had imagined. But after a quick glance through his memories, he couldn't find anything that would make Harry anxious.

"What's the urgency?" He couldn't help but ask.

"I asked Potter too, but he didn't say." Professor McGonagall put down the quill in her hand and said as seriously as ever, "There are always troubles of one kind or another at this age, and you are about the same age as those children, and you are their teacher, I think there is no one better suited to guide them than you." ”

At this point, McGonagall's usual serious face also had a slightly more kind smile.

"If you have time, take the time to visit them...... It's not just about studying, sometimes, even in everyday life, you need a suitable mentor. ”

Seeing this, Maca couldn't help but sigh - Professor McGonagall's smile had noticeably increased recently. If you want to say that she used to be just like a stern teacher, now she occasionally makes people feel easier to get closer.

"Oh, you're right, I'm secretly keeping an eye on them—" Maka laughed, "after all, Harry, they're all my friends!" Well, I'm going to just check it out......"

Even though he had to go to Harry and ask him why he was looking for him, Maca's time was precious. So after saying goodbye to Professor McGonagall, he immediately turned and left the Headmaster's office.

Seeing the door to the Headmaster's office close again as Maca left, Professor McGonagall took a sip from the teacup on the table, but did not take her eyes off the door on the other side.

"No one's life is perfect, Mr. Potter, they may need a suitable 'life coach' to look back and see the future, but you ...... Why not? She stared softly in the direction Maka had left.

……

Almost as soon as Maca left the Headmaster's room, Harry and Ron were sitting on opposite sides of the same reading table, looking at each other without saying a word. There was a tense atmosphere in the air in the library.

"Harry, if you don't leave, it's almost time to close."

Although he didn't speak, Ron's eyes and expression conveyed this meaning to Harry. However, he no longer wanted to look at the face of Mrs. Pince behind Harry, who looked like she was about to eat someone.

"I know, but—"

Harry nodded quickly at Ron, again not wanting to say anything.

They both knew that if they didn't speak, there was nothing Mrs. Pince could do with them until the closing time finally came. But if you open your mouth at this time, you will definitely be kicked out of the library.

"Why don't we go see Hermione again?" Ron thought for a moment, then closed his mouth and tilted his head in the direction of the bookshelf behind him.

"Hmm."

Harry nodded again, then stood up first.

When the two of them walked around the reading area towards the large number of books, they could clearly feel the sight coming from behind, which couldn't help but make them smile bitterly and exchange a helpless look.

The volume of books in the Hogwarts library is staggering, as there are no clear criteria for the collection and storage of books. However, because of this, although there are a dizzying number of books here, the quality of the content is uneven. In the end, there are only a small number of books that will be used in study and research.

At the moment, the library area where Harry and Ron go is the magical theory area where few students will actively look it up.

Of course, they don't go to that shelf on weekdays, because the books there are boring, and they don't always get it right. This is what Professor Flitwick mentioned to them in class, and I believe that will not be wrong.

But......

"Hermione."

After navigating an aisle between bookshelves, Harry and Ron finally found Hermione's location. Sure enough, Hermione's state was barely the same as the last time they visited—except for the books in her hands had changed.

"Hermione, uh...... I said, it's time for us to go......"

Harry's voice was muffled, for he was still worried about whether Mrs. Pince would hear him.

Thankfully, even though he was surprisingly quiet, the library was so quiet that Hermione couldn't hear it. After all, the extreme situation of focusing on not being able to hear others is not absolutely impossible, but it is still very rare.

"Huh, Harry?"

Hermione, who was immersed in the contents of the book, looked up at Harry and Ron, then stood on tiptoe and glanced at the magic clock on the wall, and raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Oh, I'm so involved in reading, I didn't expect it to be so late?"

Hermione sighed with a little surprise, her expression relaxed, and it seemed that there was absolutely no reason for Harry and Ron to become anxious and worried.

Seeing that both of them were waiting in the aisle by the bookshelf, Hermione immediately closed the books in her hand and stuffed them back into the shelves.

"Then let's go! Otherwise, Mrs. Pince herself would have come and chase them out—"

She greeted Harry and Ron very naturally, and walked ahead of them. But behind her, in the eyes of Harry and Ron looking at her back, the deep worry didn't lessen much.

Soon, the three of them hurried out of the library door under the cold gaze of Mrs. Pince's eagle and rabbit.

"Oh, Mrs. Pince's eyes are scary," Hermione chuckled, "isn't it good that students like to read?" I wish she hadn't ...... like that."

"Ahh ”

As for Harry, he wasn't as eloquent as Ron in this situation, especially now that Ron Weasley was getting more and more accustomed to scrutinizing himself and others.

So, he didn't know what to say, so he simply closed his mouth.

Obviously, the atmosphere between the three of them has become a little more subtle......

However, Hermione didn't seem to notice this change at all, and still walked forward with the same brisk steps as before.

But as the three of them had walked a short distance in the hallway, which was empty, Hermione suddenly slowed down and turned her head to look over Harry.

"By the way, Harry—" she said abruptly, "can you lend me your invisibility cloak for a while?" I need to use it at night. ”

"Ugh."

Harry was stunned for a moment, he opened his mouth, but he didn't decisively agree.

"Well, that...... Is there something going on at night? ”

Seriously, he couldn't stand the he'd say - wasn't the answer?

"yes, I want to go to ......the library to read a book for a while after the lights go out for a while," Hermione said with a natural expression, and finally said deliberately, "Don't worry, I'll take care of my rest, after all, my body is also important." ”

Yes, it was because of that that it was hard for Harry and Ron to persuade her of anything. But they both knew very well that Hermione had been in the library for almost a whole day, and had not even left her books for a moment, except for the auditorium and the bathroom.

"Hermione—"

Ron couldn't help but want to say something again, but when he saw Hermione's eyes that suddenly looked at him, he couldn't say anything more.

Today's Hermione is undoubtedly anomalous, but this anomaly is not manifested in behavior, but from her gaze, intentionally or unintentionally.

The look was like saying, "Don't try to persuade me, or we might not be 'best friends' anymore." ”

"Harry?"

After glancing at Ron, Hermione looked at Harry again, obviously trying to continue the conversation about borrowing the Invisibility Cloak.

Harry was stunned again, and finally had to nod.

"I see," he said helplessly, as if giving up, "when the lights go out, wait for me in the common room, and I'll bring you ......."

"Thank you so much!" Hermione immediately laughed and said, "I'm not very skilled in the Illusion Charm, so it would be great if I had your invisibility cloak." ”

Harry and Ron both sighed as they looked at the back of Hermione, who had turned again and walked briskly down the stairs—neither of them knew how many times they had sighed today.

And just around the corner where Harry and Ron couldn't look at her, Maca looked at Hermione's departing figure and frowned slightly.
