Chapter 1584: What needs to be done has to be done
Can an imbalance in magic cause a coma?
The answer is "yes", but it doesn't really matter because it only causes a short period of syncope. Moreover, this unconscious state of coma is still a kind of "protection" for the patient.
"Miss Lovegood's magic is on the verge of rioting, once she wakes upβ"
"I know."
Maca interrupted Blois, and then saw him pull out a few potion vials and hand them to Hermione, who was standing nearby.
"Dreamless Sleeping Agent! Now feed Luna a bottle first, then every six ...... No, feed another bottle in five and a half hours to make sure she's asleep all the time. β
Maca, of course, knew what Blois was trying to sayβthe magic of the rampage combined with an active mental will would result in uncontrollable magic of unknown effect.
Like the Silent Ones, who are also demonically rioting, the destructive power they can inflict is undoubtedly staggering, and they are more likely to hurt themselves...... Of course, Maca refers to the out-of-control children of the past, not to the very few individuals who are able to control the magic on their own.
Correspondingly, wizards like Luna who suffer from magical imbalance are basically around 18 years old, and the consequences of their magical riots will obviously be more serious.
So, even if it's sleep, Maca wants to keep Luna in the most peaceful state.
The potion "Dreamless Sleeping Elixir" was originally developed specifically for this type of disease. Although, because it is cheaper to prepare, many people have always used it as a substitute for sleeping agents.
Hermione reached out and took the potion bottle that Maca handed her, and after a moment's hesitation, she put aside the doubts in her mind for a moment and walked to Luna's bedside first.
Not long after, after watching Hermione feed the potion to Luna, Maca, Blois, and Maxim left the cubicle first.
"McLean, you...... Is there a cure for the imbalance of mana? β
Blois asks because of the rare number of cases and the fact that there is no definite treatment so far.
"I don't know," Maca could only shake her head first, "or if you have to say it, there is still a way...... It's just that, at least until I really get to the point where I can't do anything, I don't want to use such brutal means to solve the problem with her. β
What do you mean by "brutal means"? Of course, it means forcibly suppressing the magic in Luna's body, so that they are completely silent. As long as the mana is inactive, then the mana imbalance will automatically "heal", although ...... That price would inevitably be to turn Luna into a Muggle as well.
Undoubtedly, this was not the first time that Maca had done this to a person, as he had used this method in the event of the Silent One.
However, in today's crisis-ridden environment, no matter how little, Maca hopes to keep some possibility of self-preservation for Luna. If Luna really turned into a Muggle, it would be equivalent to completely depriving her of the possibility of continuing to grow, wouldn't it?
"Let me think about it...... Hermione, you just have one person here to take care of Luna, and the rest of the time you go to Paris with Mr. Butler. β
β¦β¦
"Maka, so you're here."
When Kingsley inquired all the way to the hallway to the door of Luna's cell, he finally saw Maca's figure.
"You know, it's almost time, I'll be on my way to the Muggle Prime Minister and the Queen in a moment."
"Oh," Maca, who was leaning against the wall and contemplating, couldn't help but look up at Kingsley, "I don't have anything special to say...... It is to paraphrase them as much as possible to see their true attitudes and thoughts about this disaster. And, of course, there's the question of how wizards and Muggles will get along in the future. β
Conversations like this are certainly not a problem for Kingsley, and Maca is still very relieved.
"I see."
"Then go ahead! You've made this trip...... You know, it's still important to be safe. β
Seeing that Kingsley nodded in agreement, Maca told him to go directly to the Muggle Queen's hideout, which would probably lead to a hearty royal breakfast.
After all, even if the queen is currently living in a small estate that is far from being comparable to Buckingham Palace, the queen is the queen, and she is definitely not much worse in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
After watching Kingsley quickly leave her field of vision, Maca leaned back against the tin wall behind her and sighed softly.
Obviously, even though he is suffering from Luna's unexpected illness, he still has to do what he needs to do. He understands this.
What's even more worth mentioning is that when you look at Kingsley just now, you know that he must have already sensed the dullness in Maca's heart.
Yes, even if the other party does not express his doubts in order to take care of his feelings, in order to cause as little trouble as possible to others, Maca herself should at least show less of this unsettling posture.
"McLean, are you alright?"
Seeing that Mr. Blois, who had been standing on the other side of the aisle, was kind and concerned, Maca could only smile and shake her head to indicate that there was nothing wrong with her.
"Mr. Blois, I don't think I'll be able to figure anything out for a while, so ...... Please take Luna to Paris first! He thought about it for a moment and couldn't help but confess, "Fortunately, this magical imbalance itself is not a fatal disease, and with the help of the dreamless sleeping potion, at least she won't get sick and hurt herself and others." β
"Oh, of course that's fine!" Blois nodded immediately, but then frowned, "But...... So, where are you going? Is there anything my Blois family can do to help? β
"Uh...... No, it's nothing. Seeing the other party's question, Maca said very decisively this time, "I'm going back to Hogwarts Castle this time, if there are no accidents, I will probably be able to return to France by this time tomorrow - I will go directly to Blois Castle to find you at that time!" β
As mentioned earlier, no matter what confusion and doubts there are, what needs to be done still has to be done. And today, what awaits him is a big thing that has to be done.
"Of course, time ...... I'll wait for all the evacuees to move away. β
After saying this, Maca couldn't help but glance in through the crack in the hidden door, and looked at Luna who was sleeping quietly on the bed, and he couldn't help muttering to himself in his heart:
"I wanted you to enjoy the meteor...... Although, that wasn't a good thing in the first place. β
