Being at Hogwarts these days has been like being away from calamity and many distractions. The mountains and high altitude block the strange fog and the army of living corpses, making this place like a paradise on earth.

Everything was beautiful except for the people – even if it was too good to be true.

"Maka, look! This pot of valerian seeds has already emerged. ”

When Willy came running from the first greenhouse with a flower pot in her hand, Maca was sitting in the forecourt garden not far away, basking in the sun.

"Hmm," he said, putting down the book in his hand and looking at the flower pot in Willy's hand, casually, "yes...... After all, it is also the season when they start to thrive, and the fertilizer mixed with the chemical is also effective. ”

As he spoke, he reached out and touched the soil in the basin - it was slightly moist and fluffy enough, and it seemed that Willy had turned over the soil for them very carefully.

"Then don't let them stay in the greenhouse any longer," he said, pointing to the flower bed not far away, "plant them there!" Bask in the sun and blow the wind, just remember to keep the soil moist. ”

Seeing that after Willy answered, she put down the flower pot and ran back to the greenhouse to get a shovel and a watering can, and Maca couldn't help but smile slightly.

After glancing at the tender green seedlings in the pot at his feet, he lowered his head again and continued reading where he had just seen on the page.

And it's worth mentioning that the book in his hand doesn't seem to be a sophisticated magic book - it's just an ordinary collection of miscellaneous tales from the wizarding world.

Yes, Maca looks a little wrong right now, he seems to be a little too "laid-back"!

However, since returning to the UK, what behaviors have he behaved that seems "right"? Not to mention Willy, just Mr. Blois, who has been following him for the past few days, can always feel that the current Maca McKellen is undoubtedly "abnormal".

However, as long as Willy is able to live her life the way she likes every day, then everything else Blois, the father, doesn't care very much.

"Click, Click......"

After a while, Willy trotted to this side, carrying an iron bucket with a lot of things in one hand and the hem of her robe in the other. Behind her, a long flower pot staggered and floated all the way to the garden.

As she went up the steps, she stumbled and almost tripped over.

"Look at your feet, be careful." Seeing this, Mr. Blois couldn't help but be concerned.

But Willy just looked back at the whole row of flower pots, then spread the hem of her robe and shook her hand:

"It's okay, the pot didn't fall off."

"Monsieur Blois means yourself," said Maca, who could not help but say, "be careful not to fall." ”

"Oh."

Willie answered, but quickly ran to the flower bed, and after laying down the many pots, she picked up a shovel and buried herself in the soil.

As for Willy's state of being completely devoid of other thoughts as soon as she touched the flowers and plants, Maca could only shrug her shoulders helplessly.

"Hmm...... Valerian. ”

Suddenly, Maca seemed to remember something, and looked at the tiny seedlings and muttered. After a moment, he nodded abruptly.

"Oh, that's the time!"

He remembered that the first time he talked to Willie in the library was this "Valerian". At that time, Willy seemed to have encountered some problems when cultivating valerian, and wanted to go to the library to find relevant books, but because she couldn't find them for a while, she asked Maca quite impromptuly.

Now that I think about it, I don't know if it was because she thought of the scene when she first met Maca after going to the greenhouse a few days ago.

Shaking her head slightly, Maca put the little memory aside and reimmersed herself in the comfort of enjoying the afternoon nap.

To be honest, Hogwarts is actually not bad with only three people - what Maca was looking forward to when she first entered the wizarding world was probably such a pleasant time!

But just a few minutes later, Maca suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, causing his shoulders to jerk. If he hadn't reacted immediately and secretly stifled the discomfort, he would probably have coughed.

"Tsk."

After smacking his tongue in his heart, his brow soothed slightly, and then calmed down again.

The whole process, except for a slight shrug of the shoulders, did not show any unusual movements, and although Willy and Monsieur Blois were not far away, they did not notice.

Apparently, Maca had become more cautious since she realized on Winchester's side that Willy's father could somehow sense part of her own anomaly.

After that, about an hour passed. Only when the sun had gradually moved westward overhead did he put down the book in his hand again and stood up from his chair.

"Willy, Monsieur Blois, you continue to bask here in the sun and grow flowers...... It's time for me to do some research. When I come out, we'll start preparing dinner for the day. ”

For the past few days, Maca has been like this every day - before breakfast and after dinner, doing written research in the castle, spending more than half a day with Willy to enjoy a peaceful time, and then going to the Forbidden Forest in the afternoon to do some magical experiments alone, life is very regular.

"Oh, okay."

Hearing this, Willie rarely stopped what she was doing, turned around and nodded at Maca.

"If you want help, call me."

"Of course, of course."

Maca smiled in response, and gestured to Mr. Blois again, before walking towards the Forbidden Forest with a rather idle step.

A few minutes later, in front of the huge stone gate in the depths of the Forbidden Forest, in the elf settlement, Maca finally couldn't help but cover her mouth and cough lightly.

There was no dramatic coughing up blood, and after coughing, he seemed to be completely back to normal. And the next moment, he stretched out his hand and easily pushed open the door that old Aslan couldn't open, and walked in step by step.

"Bang!"

In a short time, the stone door closed behind him, and the cave was pitch black.

Of course, Maca clearly didn't care about the darkness inside the cavern. He didn't even call for light, and just walked into the depths of the cave.

A few hours later, the stone door of the cave was opened again, and Maca, as if nothing had happened, walked out of it again with a calm face, and slowly returned in the direction of the castle.
