Chapter 730: Silver Eagle Speaks
For the current maca, mirrors and stone tablets are not easy to place, and where to store them has become a new problem that must be faced.
After thinking about it, he decided that it would be more appropriate to keep both within his reach.
Right now, with his ability, he can seal both things. It's just that compared to the Monument of Bewitchment, which has been studied more deeply, the ancient mirror seems a little reluctant - Helbo has casually recalled it to his side before, and that is the best proof.
In the afternoon, just as Maca was still far away in the old forests of the mountains of Albania, she was outside the door of the Ravenclaw common room......
"Huh?"
The bronze eaglet, who had just returned from Rowena's chamber with Luna, suddenly let out a sigh.
"Just talking about that kid, he came back—"
Halfway through the sentence, it seemed to feel that something was not quite right, and it couldn't help but tilt its little head.
"No, no, it's not wrong to fluctuate in mana......" it crouched on top of Luna's head and muttered to itself, "it's spiritual...... Is it too sunny? Is this still the little maca with a bad stomach? ”
"Huh?" Luna was puzzled, "Little one, do you know Maca too?" ”
"Don't call me 'little guy'! Gah-"
……
Luna and the bronze eaglet are obviously not able to talk together, in short, the spiritual wavelength can never match.
So, instead of listening to the chaotic conversation between the two, it is better to learn about some of the movements in the principal's office first.
A few minutes ago, when it was usually only McGonagall and Charlotte on weekdays, the number of people visiting here today was not small. In addition to Ens, who had just arrived here, there were actually three other distinguished guests who had come from afar sitting quietly.
"Steward Edward, I think what happened today will go down in the annals of the wizarding world. Mr. Nicol Mailer's selfless spirit is truly worth learning from my generation......"
Professor McGonagall sat in the chair next to her desk, and the people she was chatting with were Edward, the old housekeeper of the House of Lemay, and Madame Maxime, the headmistress of Beauxbatons.
Moreover, Fleur also came to Hogwarts as an escort today, but the real reason why she came here was, of course, to have fun.
It's just that everyone's expressions don't look good at this time. Professor McGonagall and Edward, the old butler, had been chatting, but both of them were so absent-minded that the topic seemed clichéd.
Among all the people present, the one who wanted to speak the most was Ens.
"Professor McGonagall!"
After patiently listening to the bland and tasteless polite words for a while, Ens finally couldn't help it.
"Professor McLean is in danger! Why are you-"
Ens wasn't the kind of person to be so forthright about his concern.
But this time, it was Maca who saved him from his near-mortal situation, and even put himself in danger, which undoubtedly made him feel indebted.
That's why as soon as he returned to Hogwarts, he thought hard about finding Maca as much help as possible.
However, just now, Professor McGonagall, after listening to Enns's account, immediately sent out several notices, as if she was summoning someone. But then she sat back down in her chair with a stiff face, and continued to talk to Edward about the boring topics.
This was very difficult for Enns to accept.
But Professor McGonagall only shook her head at Ens's indignant words.
"Mr. Taon, I can understand the urgency in your heart, but this matter is not urgent." Her eyes drooped slightly, and she said softly, "Wait a little longer! ”
In terms of Maca's strength, McGonagall can't be said to be familiar, but it's not strange either. As far as she knew, if it was a big problem that Maca couldn't solve, it wasn't something that a few more people could solve.
Seriously, this is not the first time she has experienced this feeling of powerlessness.
But as long as she is still the headmaster of Hogwarts, Minerva McGonagall must be responsible for the school, and Maca is naturally a member of Hogwarts.
If something really happened to Maca, she would have been mentally prepared to take on everything, including the part that had been borne by Maca before.
The next moment McGonagall said the words "Wait", a startling silver streamer appeared outside the office window, startling everyone in the room.
Professor McGonagall looked back abruptly, only to realize that it was a somewhat familiar silver eagle outside.
"It's Maca's patron saint—"
She immediately got up and opened the window, and saw that the eagle had shrunk a little, and then came in through the open window, flapping its wings and landing on the bird's shelf that had belonged to Phoenix Fawkes.
And then, the eagle spoke.
"Professor McGonagall, the original plan needs to be slightly changed - as soon as the event is over, notify the temporary market in the vestibule to be disbanded, and all the activities for tonight will be cancelled. I'll probably be back at Hogwarts around midnight...... Make sure there's no one outside the castle, and there's something weird I don't want anyone to see. ”
Deliver messages with the help of the Patronus Charm, a magical technique that Dumbledore had originally taught to the members of the Order of the Phoenix.
Of course, no one would use it unless it was urgent, because it was too much work to maintain a Patronus from a distance, let alone a thousand miles away several times like Maca.
"Professor McLean, are you alright?"
Hearing the silver eagle's sudden maca voice, Ens couldn't help but immediately ask a question, but he didn't get an answer. It didn't take long for the eagle, with its silver-white halo flowing all over its body, to dissipate silently.
"Mr. Tawon, this is a one-way message, and you can't hear Maca when you speak." McGonagall explained to Ens first, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She was no less worried about Marka's situation than Enns, but because of this, her heart was much heavier than Enns.
"McLean's ability is obvious to all, and his deeds have been heard of by us in the French wizarding community now!" Madame Maxim smiled as well, "It seems that this time he seems to have solved another remarkable matter!" ”
In the seat beside her, the old butler Edward nodded his head, obviously agreeing with this.
"I knew he was going to be fine—"
Even Fleur, who was standing behind, muttered softly, causing Charlotte not far away to glance at her, but the hand that had been clenched before was immediately released.
And it was at this moment that there was a knock on the door of the office.
"Please come in."
Professor McGonagall glanced subconsciously over the other side, then waved open the door as she spoke.
"Good afternoon, Professor McGonagall."
Soon, with a slow greeting, there was another person in the office.
To be honest, the outside of the principal's office is actually not very large, and now there are seven people in total, which seems a little crowded.
"Miss Lovegood?" Professor McGonagall bowed, "Is there anything wrong?" ”
"Oh, uh-huh......" Luna stood still in the middle of the office and gently touched a spot on the inside of her robe, where there was a pocket on the inside, "Professor, did Maca just come here?" ”
Professor McGonagall was stunned, but shook her head.
"No, I don't think so," she said, "Professor McLean isn't in school at this time, and if you have any problems with your studies, I'd suggest you go to the library and look through the books first." You know, what you understand by yourself is easier to forget than what you get from a teacher. ”
"Really?" Luna looked left and right in the office, "Okay...... Thank you for your answer, then Professor McGonagall, goodbye! ”
With that, she turned around very simply, and departed as easily as she had come.
But everyone else in the office looked at her back, and there was an unspeakable wonder in their hearts - what the hell is this blonde doing here?
"Don't worry, Miss Lovegood has always been like this."
Charlotte explained to Luna on the other side, and Professor McGonagall nodded her head to confirm Charlotte's words.
"But she must have discovered Maca's Patronus, right?" McGonagall thought for a moment and said, "Did you just accidentally see it outside the castle......
……
On the other side, in the hallway outside the door of the principal's office.
"Hey! Little girl, why did you come out like this! Ask clearly before leaving! ”
The bronze eagle flew out of the pocket on the inside of Luna's robe and landed on her shoulder, grumbling into Luna's ear.
Luna, however, just shook her head.
"Didn't Professor McGonagall say that? Maca didn't come back......"
"You believe what she says!" "I'll tell you, little girl! Just now, Lord Eagle, I definitely felt the fluctuation of Maca's kid's magic power, it was clear! Ah...... That kid, why didn't you come to me all the time? How long has it been......"
When Luna heard this, she turned her head and looked over her shoulder.
"Little one, what are you going to do with Maca?" "If there's nothing very important," she pondered, "it's best not to bother him...... He's busy every day! ”
"Of course it's important! What is the unimportant thing about Lord Eagle? The bronze eaglet muttered dissatisfiedly, and then said loudly, "Forget it, I can't tell you about this anyway...... Also, little girl! They all said don't call me 'little guy', don't you have any memory? ”
Before it could finish speaking, there was a sudden chaotic commotion outside the castle, and the direction from which it came seemed to be on the other side of the arena.
"Gah? What's wrong with it? ”
