Chapter 790: A belated invitation

It's hard to say whether Harry has grown up or not, maybe they have gradually matured physically, but a person's psychology is not something that is clear at a glance.

After observing the invisible beast named "Demi", Maca sat in Hagrid's hut for a while, and then walked with Hagrid to the Great Hall.

In the faculty chair of the auditorium, Maca also deliberately ate slowly, of course, to see if there was anything unusual about Hermione and the others.

In Azkaban before, although Maca didn't fully believe that Ewen Ravenclaw, the last reminder left by the other party was indeed very reasonable.

You can't always go wrong with keeping an eye on the people around you.

However, after paying attention to the three Harry at breakfast time, and Hermione in the ancient magic class in the morning, he found that he seemed to be a little worried.

Well, except that Harry's words seem to have gotten a little more?

And for about a week since that day, Marka's life at Hogwarts seemed to have been uneventful again. During the day, I teach and do research, and at night, I continue to do research and go to bed on time.

Occasionally...... It was only occasionally, and he would occasionally go to the Astronomical Tower to observe the stars in the sky. The luminosity of the comet, which the Muggles named "Hale-Pop", can already be seen with the naked eye.

This is one of the reasons why Maca is not interested in wizard astronomy, because only stars that can be directly seen or "perceived" by wizards can be included in the range of measurable and usable.

So, when Maca craned his neck to look at the starry sky, he was more just admiring the wonderful landscape.

That's right, he wasn't even interested in picking up the monocular he had at hand.

For wizards living in modern times, even the magical mysteries of the planet they live on are constantly being ignored and forgotten, how can they touch the infinite universe?

You know, according to Maca's knowledge of wizarding astronomy, almost every star has its own magical meaning.

These "meanings" are not very clear at all, but they are deduced by a large number of ancient wizards from generation to generation, and accumulated with reference to various events and experiences.

If you revive the wizards who studied astronomy in ancient times, and look at the observations of modern Muggles, I am afraid that you will be frightened by the countless stars and die again on the spot.

However, although Maca did not want to study the astronomy of the wizarding world at all, she had to try to think and understand the comet in the sky that was gradually flying towards the sun.

Before you know it, a week has passed.

……

In recent days, the weather has gradually cooled down and the rain has started to increase.

Also, it's almost October. At this time, it usually rains at Hogwarts, then the wind gradually becomes stronger, and finally it cools down rapidly, turning into a heroic snow that spans the end of the year and the beginning of the year.

For the past week, Miriam and Asaph had been living in a Muggle settlement. The two of them lived a very peaceful life, except for eating, drinking, sleeping and sleeping every day, they just went out to enjoy the Muggle life on the premise of keeping a low profile.

Because, during this time, they were just waiting for news from the Augustinian family, and there was no other task other than that.

"The Augustinian family is really calm, how many days have passed?"

That evening, Miriam sat on the sofa in the living room, resting her slender legs directly on the glass coffee table. I saw her eating snacks while watching TV, and she still took the time to complain from time to time.

To put it nicely, she has a personality; But if you want to put it more objectively, it is "not the slightest bit reserved as a beauty".

"It's okay, didn't the boss tell us? As long as there is no big change in the British wizarding world, we don't need to be too anxious about this 'deal' with the Augustine family. And if you look at the boss's information, I think it's them who should be in a hurry, aren't they? ”

On the other side of the living room, Yasaph sat directly at the bar near the kitchen area. It was closer to the fridge, making it easier for him to get a cold beer at any time.

At the moment, they were trying not to use spells as much as possible, after all, this was London, and they didn't want to offer the British Ministry of Magic the possibility of being aware of their existence.

"Well, that depends on when they can't take it anymore," Miriam said vaguely, shoving a snack into her mouth, "By the way, it's your turn to stay home tonight...... Stay careful, the Augustinians could send someone over at any time. ”

"I know," Asaph said, taking a sip of his wine, "that every day that passes, there is a greater possibility that people will come, depending on whether they will come 'today' or 'tomorrow.'" ”

Miriam, who was on the couch, shrugged her shoulders indifferently when she heard this.

"What do you think would happen if that McLean found out about this deal?" As she spoke, she felt that her words didn't seem to be accurate, so she simply said, "No, I mean, how would he react to that?" ”

Asaph put down the bottle and thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"Who knows?" He said, "Although we have dealt with him once, and we have been repaired a lot, our knowledge of him is really limited to information. What he would think, I can't figure it out anyway. ”

"yes!" Miriam couldn't help but shake her head as she listened to Asaph's words, "Just like we can't figure out what the boss thinks, McLean, who single-handedly created many miracles, is also a genius wizard who is completely different from us. ”

"If I had met him, I would have thought he was just a lucky young man," she said, "but now...... Trying to speculate on the mind of a genius may be an ignorant intention, right? ”

"Well, it's all temporary," Asaph sighed, "and since it's impossible to guess, don't bother with that god, just follow the plan given by the boss." ”

As the two talked, the sky gradually darkened. Although it had been rainy all day outside, they knew at this time that another night was coming.

Miriam glanced out the window, then gathered her legs and stood up from the couch, twisting her waist and moving her muscles.

"You'll be back at 2 a.m., right?" When Asaph saw her get up, he said casually, "Remember to bring me some food back today, so I don't have to do it myself." ”

"Okay," Miriam replied as she walked to the door, "but that bar only has fish and chips, and it tastes a little bad...... Don't blame me for not warning you beforehand! ”

"Huh! Can't you change it? ”

Before Asaph could say more, he saw the door slam shut.

"Don't change!"

A faint voice came through the door, and Asaph was depressed for a while.

"I always feel ...... Since the end of the last mission, this girl has become more careless than before? He looked at the closed door and muttered to himself with some confusion.

But when he turned his head and saw the pile of empty bottles on the bar, he rubbed his forehead helplessly.

"Forget it, looking at these bottles, I suddenly feel that I am the one who is least qualified to talk about her."

To be honest, the strength of Maca at that time was shocking to the whole team. If you compare it to Maca's age, the invisible impact is even more difficult to calm down.

They are a group of elites who have experienced many lives and deaths, and under the consciousness that everyone holds the consciousness of death, they have extremely high quality both physically and mentally.

But sometimes, death isn't the only thing to be feared. When people find out that their efforts may be just a joke in the eyes of others, this feeling of total denial is enough to overturn absolute self-confidence in one fell swoop.

"It's the same child who has no parents, why is there such a big gap?"

Asaph drained the cold beer in one gulp, then pushed the empty bottle against the bar, and when he withdrew his hand, he brushed the ends of his hair from his forehead to the back of his head.

The moisture on the walls of the bottle stuck to his hands and touched his scalp through his fingers, sending a sporadic chill to Asaph's brain.

But at this moment, there was a slight knock at the door, which brought his mind back to the reality in front of him.

"Oh, is it finally here?"

Asaph rubbed his face, and then he got up from the stoolβ€”the slight alcohol did not make him drunk, but the thoughts of the past few days had made his mind somewhat foggy.

"Click."

He walked to the door and unscrewed the doorknob, and soon saw the man standing outside the door.

The other party is a wizard, this is clearly recognizable, because the other party is wearing a simple and elegant exquisite wizard robe.

And the embroidered mark on the family crest on the collar of this young wizard clearly shows the power he represents.

"Excuse me...... Does Miss Miriam live here? ”

Asaph looked at the clear-eyed "little white face" and somehow felt a little disgusted. Of course, he has never been an emotional person, and he has always been good at his superficial disguise.

"That's right," he said slightly, "are you Young Master Augustine?" ”

Of course, Asaph knew exactly what the mission was looking like, and Miriam had already shared with him the general feeling of what she had actually seen.

Recognize the wrong person, that doesn't exist.

"Exactly," said Marlius, standing outside the door, with an uncritical slight bow to Assaph, "you must be the 'other companion' that Miss Miriam mentioned, right?" My father invited, hoping that the two of them could enjoy their faces at home, and there would be no problem in the next two days. ”

With that, he actually took out two very formal invitations and reached out and handed them to Asaph.
