Hogwarts had one accident after another, and finally some parents couldn't bear it anymore.

Even during this time, Gilderoy Lockhart would occasionally conduct placating propaganda activities in front of the public, but the frequent occurrence of incidents made his propaganda effect continue to decline.

The next morning, as nearly twenty of the students' guardians arrived at Hogwarts to request a meeting with Professor McGonagall, the Daily Prophet reporter quickly got the news and hurried in.

Predictably, tomorrow's newspaper will certainly not be good.

Of course, these parents are parents after all, and it is natural for them to think about the safety of their children. In this regard, there was nothing wrong with their actions, and there was nothing to prevent them from taking their children.

Because of his affection for Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall naturally kept it repeatedly. But even if the students are willing to stay in school, most of them can't resist their parents.

Eventually, eleven Hogwarts students were suspended and three students were withdrawn, including five Ravenclaws who had been injured in last night's incident.

Of the young wizards who were still recuperating from their injuries, the more serious ones had been transferred to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries, while the less serious ones had been taken home directly.

Truth be told, that number will definitely increase tomorrow when the relevant report in the Daily Prophet comes out. As a result, there will inevitably be a rift in Hogwarts' reputation.

After sending off the parents with a smiling face, Professor McGonagall's mood was noticeably lower.

Not long after Dumbledore died, and even his public funeral had not yet been officially held, this kind of thing happened. Professor McGonagall felt a deep sense of guilt.

She could clearly feel that the gap between herself and Dumbledore was indescribable.

As for Maca, Professor McGonagall is well aware. Just by looking at the teacher's attendance sheet, she knew how much energy Maca had expended for the school and how much trouble she had quietly solved.

But Professor McGonagall knew better that no matter how capable and talented Maca was, she was just a child!

Leaving a child tired from running around, and even having to fight all kinds of darkness, Professor McGonagall's unbearable heart almost piled up. But if this is not the case, I am afraid that Hogwarts will not be in such a simple situation as having a dozen students drop out of school now.

Professor McGonagall let out a rare sigh as the parents took their children and walked towards the main entrance of the school, accompanied by Filch.

"McLean, if you're tired, you can rest a little more."

Maca, who was standing on the side of the castle gate, turned her head and glanced at Professor McGonagall in surprise. Because in the other party's tone, he heard a clear mildness.

Minerva McGonagall, who has always been serious and tough, will not show softness easily.

To be honest, no matter how strong a person is, he will show weakness in certain situations. This was true even for the Wisdom Group like Dumbledore, let alone the others.

Maca knew that Professor McGonagall must be under too much pressure.

"Professor," Maca said softly, "I'm fine, just selling some strength every now and then. On the other hand, it's hard for you to keep the whole school running, and you have a lot more responsibility than I do. ”

He paused, then reinstated, "Don't set too high a goal for yourself because of Professor Dumbledore, it will only create more unnecessary pressure on yourself." It's not the same as it used to be, and your burden is definitely heavier than that of Professor Dumbledore. ”

"All we need to do now is everyone give their best - please don't put all of Hogwarts on yourself."

As a school principal with a long history and a global reputation, it must be difficult to walk on thin ice, even if there is an "agent" in front of the principal's name.

Maca couldn't do that kind of errand, so he knew better what it contained.

While Professor McGonagall was blinded by the pressure, Maca didn't mind trying to clear the way for her, for he could, and could only do.

“…… Good boy. ”

Professor McGonagall pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled sideways at him, as kind as a normal grandmother. In the next moment, her face was covered with sternness again, as if the glimpse that Maca had just seen was just an illusion.

"McLean, you've worked hard all this time. However, the situation will definitely be more serious in the future, in case of any more trouble, I hope you can continue to work with me to protect this Hogwarts that belongs to everyone! ”

"Of course." Maca said slightly.

"Besides," Professor McGonagall paused for a moment, then continued, "it will soon be Christmas, and the Christmas dinner will be followed by a holiday - Dumbledore's funeral will be held in public during the holidays. ”

"Well," Maka immediately agreed, "the public funeral is just to convey our confidence to the public, and there is no need for all the students to participate. After all......"

After all, most of the funeral this time will not be peaceful - this is what Maca did not say. But even if he didn't say it, Professor McGonagall knew it.

Declaring that Hogwarts is confident enough to resist foreign enemies will not only reassure parents a little, but also show the forces of darkness their resolve. In addition, whether Dumbledore is dead or not will also become a jealousy in the hearts of dark wizards who intend to get their hands on Hogwarts.

Because of this, although there will certainly not be any large-scale and large-scale all-out attacks, small-scale temptations are most likely inevitable.

Not to mention Greenwald, at least Voldemort will definitely not miss this opportunity.

After Maca and Professor McGonagall had a few more words about the Silent One last night, Professor McGonagall quickly left, still with countless tasks to complete.

Maca thought about it and went back to the hospital ward to accompany Luna.

Although he actually wanted to take Hermione to Rowena's secret island, trying to convince those elves as soon as possible. But right now, he really didn't want to leave Luna's side, because it would always make him uneasy.

Just like this time, even if he was more or less vigilant from the beginning, he was always on the lookout for those refugees from Greece. For this reason, he even deliberately avoided too much contact with Luna, for fear that Luna would be targeted by some ill-intentioned people.

But who knows, in the case of a lack of skills, there is almost an irreparable tragedy.

He didn't want to do this again!

So, he decided to wait for Luna to fully recover, and then take her with him to the island to meet the elves. As long as Luna was left with him, it would at least reassure him.

“…… Aren't you going to do things today? ”

In the hospital room, Luna leaned half-back on a raised pillow and looked at Maca with misty eyes. Her words were still ethereal and free, as if what happened last night had nothing to do with her, and she didn't care at all.

"Well," Maka smiled gently, "I always feel like I haven't sat with you for a long time, and I'm here with you for nothing." ”

"Really?" Luna tilted her head, stared at Maca up and down, and said with interest, "I heard that you went to the United States, did you encounter anything interesting?" ”

"Of course there are, and there are quite a few!" Maca nodded, "By the way, there's one thing you'll definitely be interested in – I saw a thunderbird over there!" ”

"Oh-" Luna seemed a little surprised, and even her trance eyes became much clearer, "Then there must be a wind!" They create storms ......"

"That's right, it's windy." Maca smiled and said, "It's said that they are close relatives of the phoenix, but apart from the tail feathers, I really don't see where they are 'close'?" Ptarmigans are bigger than I expected, and in my opinion, they are at least as big as the fire dragons......"

By the sunny window, Maca deliberately picks out a few things from a peaceful perspective and slowly shares them with Luna. Although the darkness he encountered was obviously deeper than the light, he really didn't want to pollute this pure-hearted girl with those disgusting people and things.

As the two of them talked, time passed little by little, and they seemed to return to the leisurely time when they had been together quietly in the mountains behind Lovegood's house.

……

However, Luna and Maca deliberately suppressed the gloom, and Hermione's side was completely depressed.

Regarding Helen, Hermione's heart is very complicated. She obviously had a crush on the girl, and when she learned that Helen had somehow become the murderer of her classmates, it took her a while to accept the fact.

But after she accepted it, there was endless remorse in her heart.

Maca was not mistaken last night, when Hermione and the three of them quickly arrived in the foyer and had a brief meeting with Maca. And Luna, who was held in Maca's arms, was naturally also seen by them.

Hermione thought she was going to be jealous, but when she realized afterwards, she was full of worry. Luna is a good girl, and although she often does some strange things, her heart is undoubtedly pure and kind.

A girl like Luna, not only can't she feel jealous calmly, but she can't stop blaming herself for believing in Helen.

Harry and Ron both understood Hermione, who was silent because of this, because they were also secretly afraid.

In the aftermath of this incident, the mood of the three little lions of Gryffindor House all fell into a low point. It is precisely because they believe in the power of friendship that they are even more suspicious of it.

Although Maca caused some misunderstandings at the beginning, at least the ending was good. But this time, what is in front of them is the truth - someone has really cheated on their friendship.

In the midst of this silence, Ron, who was also in a heavy mood, suddenly raised his head.
