"Why are you hiding there? When did you come over? ”

When she said this, Hermione was inexplicably a little weak-hearted. But perhaps because she had long been accustomed to having the upper hand in front of Harry and the others, even though she was still a little apprehensive at the moment, she had put on a questioning posture on the surface.

However, before Harry and Ron, who were also weak-hearted, could speak, Neville hurriedly cleared up the relationship and said:

"Hermione, I'm just here, and I don't know anything! It was Ron, too, and he was going to pull me in there - I didn't hear a word about what you and Luna were talking about! ”

"Really?"

Hermione looked him up and down, but finally nodded at the thought that Neville really never lied.

On the other side, Luna also said:

"Neville has just arrived! Harry and Ron followed along the way! ”

"What?"

When Hermione heard this, she glared and looked at the two clumsy stalkers again. When she stared at the beads of sweat on both of their foreheads, she whispered to Luna, who was sitting beside her:

"Since you've seen it all, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Because...... Because you're not saying you're playing hide and seek! Luna said innocently, "Although I haven't played this kind of hide and seek yet, I can't help you cheat?" You'll have to find out for yourself—"

"Oh......"

Listening to Luna's explanation, Hermione suddenly remembered that she seemed to unconsciously agree with the statement "playing hide and seek", and then couldn't help but hold her forehead and sigh weakly.

"Forget it," she finally waved her hand after a moment, then glared at Ron and Harry across from her again, "Luna don't mention it for now, you ...... What the hell is going on with the two of you? ”

Right now, she and Luna were sitting on the stone chairs on the edge of the square, while Ron and the three of them were standing in a row in front of them, looking like a picture of a parent training a child.

Among the five people present, only Luna was far less embarrassed and serious than the other four, and her face still had a bright smile.

"Ron, Harry, you've lost—"

"Luna, don't talk yet."

Hermione reluctantly motioned for her not to speak yet, and then waved her hand at a few boys and said:

"Neville doesn't mention it, you two say...... Why are you following me? ”

Ron and Harry couldn't help but glance at each other in response to Hermione's question, and only then did the former turn his head and whisper:

"Hermione, I think we should be asking you if we need to ask—where have you been? Why didn't you come in when you passed the gate of St. Mungo? That's why we subconsciously follow you. ”

"yes!" Harry chimed in, "You...... Is there something you're hiding from us? ”

"I-"

It may be that the question between the two of them was too straightforward, and it struck Hermione's heart at once, so that she couldn't help but show a little hesitation and chagrin that she wanted to hide.

Hermione, however, knew that Sirius's affairs were too sensitive for Harry. So even at this point, she still has no intention of telling those guesses.

After all, even if she took another 10,000 steps back, it was only her personal conjecture and worry at the moment, and Lupin had just categorically denied her idea.

She really didn't want Harry to be put in danger on the spur of the moment because of her "crankiness".

"I see," Hermione nodded abruptly after a moment's thought, "I'm wrong about you this time...... I think you're worried about me, thank you...... Trust me, though, it's okay! I was just...... I've been figuring out how to defend Spiral, and as you know, Maka and I mentioned doing something. ”

"Ahh Hmmm......"

Ron nodded with some relief when he heard this.

"As I recall, Maca also mentioned the curved slate you experimented with last time...... Do you want to use that? ”

"I don't know, because I don't have any idea of forming, so ......" Hermione said, spreading her hands, "it's not, well, a little bothered." ”

Because it happened, Ron and Harry ...... Harry, in particular, seemed quick to accept Hermione's claims. It's just that although both of them began to nod slowly, Neville on the side was not.

He knew very well that since Maca would make such a request to him, it meant that Hermione and the others were indeed very likely to want to sneak away to London. After all, it's rare for maca to be out of purpose.

So as for Hermione's words, although Neville still didn't interject, he always felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"Neville, what's wrong with you? Feeling unwell? ”

Suddenly, Luna, who had been watching all this curiously since the beginning, seemed to notice Neville's hesitation in an instant.

"Oh, is it because you haven't eaten breakfast yet? Hungry? She thought about it, and then touched her stomach and said, "I didn't eat either!" As soon as I woke up and found that Hermione was gone, I immediately ran out to look for her—"

After being reminded by Luna's words, Hermione subconsciously glanced at Neville, who had been temporarily ignored, and then immediately sensed something from the residual expression on Neville's face.

She obviously didn't know what Neville was thinking, she just ...... Neville, who is not good at hiding his thoughts, still completely revealed the hesitation in his heart.

"Well," Hermione, who felt a little strange, waved her hand after a slight pause, "Luna, you and Neville should go back and have something to eat first!" We've all eaten, so head to St. Mungo's first and come back soon! ”

"No, no."

Neville, whose mind was full of chaotic thoughts, said almost reflexively:

"I've already set up the observation room while you're away, and Maca has been placed with the wounded, so it should be going on by now. He also said...... Yes! ”

Neville reacted as he spoke, and quickly closed his mouth, his face suddenly becoming a little delicate.

"What?"

When Hermione and the others heard this, they all looked at him, obviously waiting for him to continue.

In particular, Neville's appearance of leaking his mouth suddenly made everyone even more curious, and even Luna looked expectant to hear what Maca had to say.

"No, no...... It's nothing," Neville, who couldn't lie at all, swallowed his saliva and shook his head stiffly as he looked at so many pairs of eyes staring at him, "That's it...... So that you don't have to go over...... Yes, that's it! ”
