The news of the Flober caterpillars climbing up to beat the willow cocoon had spread long before Maca returned. When those anxious crises slowly subside over time, such seemingly dispensable anecdotes have become an indispensable seasoning for young wizards in their busy study and life.

If someone like Luna was curious about some strange biological phenomena, I am afraid that he would have put aside his homework and rushed over to observe it constantly.

However, this time, Luna did not run to enjoy the spectacle in the first place, but went to the school library immediately after class.

"Hermione?"

If you want to find someone in the huge Hogwarts Castle, it is actually very difficult. Even if everyone's schedule is similar every day, when and where they will be, it is basically decided by the class schedule, but it is not easy to find.

But if you're looking for Miss Hermione Granger, head to the library! That's a good idea. Even if she may not be there at the time, if you wait patiently for a short time, she will most likely appear in your sight as usual, straddle her large satchel and slightly raise her chin.

When Luna walked briskly and rhythmically to the door of the library, she caught a glimpse of Hermione, who was sitting at the reading table and writing about various textbooks and materials.

That was her best friend lately, and since having this friend, Luna's mood has become more and more cheerful. Well, although she didn't know why Hermione took the initiative to come and befriend her that day, what did it matter? It was enough for her to understand that Hermione had no ill intentions.

"Oh...... Luna? ”

Hermione's quill paused, and she looked up and smiled at Luna, who was walking towards her.

"Hermione, it's time for dinner in a moment, why don't you come with us today?" Luna pulled out the chair next to her and sat down gently, "I hope today's dessert is a peach-based soufflé." ”

"Really?" Hermione lowered her head and wrote a few more strokes, casually echoing, "That sounds good." ”

Whether it's Hermione or Luna, everyone is growing up with the passage of year after year. But even though these two little girls who could only be described as "cute" have now become slim girls, the changes can be said to be quite huge, but their personalities seem to be as clear as they were in the past.

Luna, in particular, has a slightly ethereal voice, but it still has a purity that seems to penetrate people's hearts, like the dew drops in the morning, crisp and clear.

The more time she spent with Luna, the more Hermione could feel the indescribable serenity of being with this girl. She believed that even if Hogwarts was still faltering under Voldemort's threat, just being with Luna would be able to easily wash away the uneasiness in her heart.

Just as Hermione looked at Luna's long pale blonde hair and thought casually, Luna looked at her with those quiet gray eyes.

"Hermione, why didn't you say everything you wanted to say when we went to find Maca today?"

Upstairs at the Three Broomsticks Bar that day, the two of them actually talked a lot. As the conversation progressed, Hermione finally shared some thoughts with Luna.

Most of these ideas are different, pointing to all aspects, but in the end, they are basically related to maca. In fact, the issue of employment course selection that they mentioned today is one of those ideas.

But there are some decisions that are hard to say without adequate preparation. Especially Hermione, a girl like her, who is more rational than her, is more likely to be stubborn because of some trivial issues.

"Wait...... Wait a minute......" she pursed her lips slightly, shook her head, "I'm not ready yet, and...... You know, that's really hard ......."

"Hermione," Luna suddenly reached out and placed her palm gently over Hermione's quill hand, "you've always been smart, and you can do it if you say it - you can ask someone, and they'll tell you." ”

"Oh, thank you...... But ......"

"I will also accompany you, we can work together." Luna took her hand and said, "Besides, we still have Maka, he's so powerful, he'll definitely help us solve a lot of problems." As long as your idea is completed, everyone will really be able to live without worries......"

"Hmm......" Hermione hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, "yes, you're right, I was too careful this time...... While caution is always necessary, courage is also essential, and when it's time to try, start as early as possible! ”

"Wisdom, courage, shrewdness, and hard work, all of which are done well at Hogwarts." Luna still squeezed Hermione's hand, sending her a warm hint of encouragement, but those eyes drifted away in a trance.

……

With Hermione's academic performance, of course, it was enough for her to put aside her homework once in a while and have a casual chat with others. But for Harry and Ron, the most important thing right now is homework and exercises.

At this moment, they were in the common room in front of piles of books and parchment rolls, working hard for the exam.

As for what Fred and George had just said, "The beating willows are covered with white cocoons, and there are actually Flober caterpillars there," they didn't have time to think about it.

In the near future, it will be the last day off of the school year – the Easter holidays. By then, there will be only six weeks left until the end of the term.

. LS exam, it can be said that it is imminent.

However, at this time, they found that the history of magic of the two of them was still hovering between passing and failing, and maybe they would face the miserable reality of failing the course, making up the exam, or even repeating the grade.

In normal times, the study life at Hogwarts is actually quite relaxed, but correspondingly, it will be extremely strict during the exam. There is only one chance to retake each failed subject, and if you fail to pass it, it will inevitably lead to repetition.

I believe that no matter which student you are, you will not want to be treated as a younger student by a student who entered the same year, and it would be too bad to be like that!

It's a pity that probably both of them have put too much effort into Voldemort's attack before, so that in the past time, they have been practicing hard to improve their dueling strength, and gradually fell behind a lot of purely written courses.

What's worse is that all those things need to be memorized!

"Harry, I think I'm done......," Ron said angrily, "I didn't think there was anything wrong with it before, but now that I see such a thick copy of A History of Magic, I know I'm finished." ”

"Don't talk nonsense," Harry said weakly without even raising his head, just staring at the book, "Don't worry about face for a while, let's go and beg Hermione together!" If it's just memorizing notes, maybe the two of us can save ......."

"What is face? A staple for dinner today? Ron flipped through the pages with a bang, and said with a thoughtful expression, "Add some sweet sauce, maybe it tastes good......"

"Stop talking this nonsense!" Harry said angrily.

Ron pursed his lips and flipped through a few more pages, beads of sweat already oozing from his head.

"If I really fail the exam, my mother will have to kill me!" He screamed, "Merlin is on top!" Gryffindor's prefect needs to retake the exam, what will others think when they hear it? Maybe you'll repeat a grade...... Oh......"

"Don't worry! There's been so much going on this semester, and you've barely done what a prefect should be doing. As long as you don't mention it yourself, few people remember that you're actually a prefect,......" Harry said, waving his hand, "I'll remember me, for example, when I heard you say that." ”

"Oh......" Ron wailed when he heard this, "don't say it so clearly, it's too cruel." ”

Everyone had already rushed to the auditorium, and few people were left in the common room. It's just that Harry and Ron, two brothers and sisters, are worried about their exam results, and they have a faint sense of loss of appetite.

Of course, it wasn't because of this that they didn't go to the auditorium to eat with everyone, after all, no matter how anxious they were, there were still more than two months, and they could still have time to fill their stomachs.

"Well, so it says...... Why hasn't Hermione come back yet? ”

Ron snapped the book in his hand shut, stood up and glanced at the doorway, apparently in a hurry.

"Sit down! Didn't she say she'd go back to the break room first? Since she said so, she will definitely be back, we just have to wait. ”

Harry scribbled a few more words on the parchment in front of him, then dropped the quill into the inkwell, picked it up and blew it.

It was at that moment before the words were finished that the portrait of the fat lady gently opened.

"Are you in a hurry? Sorry for the delay......"

It was Hermione who came in, and she hurried past the two of them, and walked straight to the stairs that led to the girls' dormitory.

"Since you've been waiting until now, let's wait a little longer!" She walked briskly and said casually, "I'll put down my schoolbag and get down, and I'll ...... soon."

To Ron and Harry's eyes, she was like a gust of wind blowing through the common room, and in the blink of an eye, she disappeared again at the top of the stairs, leaving the two of them staring blankly at each other.
