"Sarah, come out for a moment!"

As he shouted these words, a silvery-white mist of light suddenly lit up from Maca's hand and fluttered towards the Dementor in front of her.

As soon as the Dementor felt the power of the Patronus Charm, he immediately turned around and fled. But the Santa hat on top of its head was still hanging strongly, and it disappeared into the shadows of the depths of the corridor with it.

At this moment, a sweet-looking little girl suddenly pushed open a door next to the corridor and came to Maca's side.

"At first, that alchemy puppet still needs you to help me adjust it, and it has been pausing for a long time in places I can't see."

"Okay."

Sarah then nodded, and without saying a word, followed the path where Maca had come.

But behind her, Maca looked at her departing back, and after a while, she slowly shook her head.

"Still no emotional feelings...... Is it the wrong direction? ”

This Sarah is the alchemical android who asked Maca to find emotions not long ago, but the fundamental flaws in her soul have never made her a real life.

Recently, Maca has made a breakthrough in her research on soul rule runes, and she wants to try to make some remedies for Sarah with something she has newly figured out.

It's a pity that although Sarah, one of the pinnacles of alchemy, has flaws, how can it be easy to repair them?

Now that Maca asked her to make some alchemy dolls for her own activities, Sarah did it beautifully; But on Maca's side, his help to Sarah is limited.

Fortunately, Sarah didn't seem to be in a hurry at all - she had waited so long that she probably wouldn't mind waiting a few more years.

Putting Sarah's shortcomings aside for the time being, Maca suddenly looked around the hallway, and once again summed up her experience of being a talent.

"Well, no problem." He bowed slightly.

After Sarah had adjusted the alchemy doll and returned, Maca and her left the eerie "L" corridor through the doorway beside her.

And when the two of them walked through the doorway and walked outside, we found that the scene in the corridor just now was actually shaped with the help of the Room of Requirement.

"When the time comes, just move the interior to the hallway outside the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom."

As she spoke, Maca suddenly stretched and yawned heavily.

"Okay, you go back to sleep...... he said in the middle of his sentence, "Oh, I forgot, you don't need to sleep, do you?" ”

"Yes," Sarah nodded, "but I usually go to bed at night." ”

Even if she can't sleep, at least she has to pretend to be asleep - this may have been a little troublesome for Sarah at first, but now, she is more yearning and looking forward to it.

"Looking forward to my incompatible self, sooner or later I will be able to integrate into this world" - at this point, Maca can still feel it to some extent.

"Well," Maca waved at her the moment they parted, "good night." ”

"Professor McLean, too, have a good dream!"

Sarah smiled a sweet smile familiarly, even though she knew it was just a smirk, but it was still extraordinarily bright.

……

After returning to the office, he did not go to sleep.

Maca has so much to do these days that he doesn't want to spend too much time sleeping. It wasn't until after three o'clock in the morning that he would catch up on his sleep for a while, and the rest of the time he basically took a refreshing potion to the top.

And that's the problem.

If he's so busy, why would he have to tinker with any Christmas activities? Even after Snape refused, he took over the Defence Against the Dark Arts activities that were supposed to be the responsibility of the other party.

But as long as Maca doesn't say it, then the others will never understand until the answer is automatically revealed.

At this moment, as he had done a few days ago, he spread out the parchment roll on the slightly crowded table, and began to write and draw with his head rustled.

After some time, Maca suddenly stopped the quill in his hand, and looked at his expression as if he had thought of something.

"Oh, that seems like a good idea."

At about the moment when Maca said this, the deepest part of the Auror office of the British Ministry of Magic ......

"Lupin, Sirius, Scrimgeour is going to ask me to pick someone from my office to take a trip to the wizarding world of Israel, you see...... How to choose? ”

It was Kingsley, who was now the head of the Auror's office. Now that both Lupin and Sirius have been sent to the Ministry of Magic by Maca, the two have naturally become Kingsley's subordinates.

But this "subordinate" was only nominal, because Kingsley himself knew that in terms of ability and experience, none of the two predecessors and colleagues of the Order of the Phoenix was worse than him.

So when he encountered this problem, he took advantage of the opportunity of the night shift to find these two people to come to his office overnight to discuss.

"Do you have to get one over?" When Lupin heard this, he couldn't help frowning, "This is not a good idea!" ”

On the Hogwarts side, Maca and McGonagall, the two pillars of the Order of the Phoenix, unanimously decided not to worry about the affairs over there for now, and Lupin naturally understood the danger.

Sirius, on the other hand, was very casual, as he had always been bold.

However, he did not open his mouth to express his opinion, because he also knew that it was clearly Lupin who was better at using his brain.

"Well, I know it's not a good idea," Kingsley said, spreading his hands, "at least for the people sent there, it's going to be bad......"

Hogwarts and his side of the news and information have always been secretly and continuously, judging by Maca's decision, Kingsley also knew that there must be something wrong there.

It's just—

“…… But if we change our position to that of the Ministry of Magic, it wouldn't be a bad idea to send someone over to follow us up. Kingsley concluded.

In fact, he saw this from Scrimgeur's point of view - as the Minister of the British Ministry of Magic, it is undoubtedly the responsibility and obligation of a person in power to keep abreast of the current situation, and this cannot be said to be a wrong decision.

"I understand."

Lupin nodded, and was silent for a moment, as if he was pondering some other question. After a moment, he somehow smiled wryly.

"I suddenly realized that since the Order of the Phoenix was led by McLean, a lot of things have become much easier." "Thinking back in the past, when we first faced Voldemort, almost everyone was risking their lives to do things. But now......"

"That's what you think?" Sirius couldn't help but complain, "Seriously, I've had enough...... Kingsley, or you'll let me go! I'm good at stealth scouting—"

"Alright," Lupin waved his hand, "don't interrupt!" I'm just wondering if some of the sacrifices are worth it...... Although sacrifice is always unpredictable, the danger of it can be estimated to some extent. ”

There's nothing wrong with valuing life, but when something requires a life to pay for, the balance between the two becomes a huge challenge.

At the end, Lupin couldn't help but sigh lightly:

"I don't even remember what Dumbledore's mind was like in the first place......"

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Maca's personal charm is obviously not as great as Dumbledore's, and her leadership talent is not as strong.

At least half of his position in the Order of the Phoenix was supported by his astonishing magical abilities and his wisdom in handling matters.

And the prominence of Maca's ability made the other members of the Order of the Phoenix easier. Until Voldemort and Greenwald both fell, everyone finally became a salted fish of the Order of the Phoenix.

But at this time, Sirius said:

"Dumbledore is gone, what else is there to say - besides, I think Maca himself found out about this, otherwise why would he suggest that we all run to the Ministry of Magic?"

"He's trying to get us to take over the Ministry of Magic!" Kingsley lowered his voice and joked, "When I become minister, the Auror office will be handed over to Sirius, and then Lupin will go to the Wizengamot to get a seat!" In this way, the Ministry of Magic will be renamed the Phoenix Ministry! ”

After Kingsley's interruption, all three of them laughed.

But let's be honest, if Lupin and Sirius stay in the Ministry of Magic, there's a good chance that his joke will come true in the future.

After a slight relaxation, Lupin continued the topic he had just said:

"It's a big deal to send someone there, so let's send a letter to Hogwarts to be on the safe side! Of course, we can also add our own thoughts to the letter......"

Finally, he glanced at Sirius beside him.

“…… If Hogwarts disagrees, for the sake of the bigger picture, I'm sure Marca or Miss McGonagall will tell Scrimgeour about it. But if they do agree, I think the three of us will have to go together. ”

It's not impossible to let other Aurors go, and even if someone else is the head of the Auror office, maybe they will directly pick a new person and throw it over to fend for themselves.

But the three people present were obviously not that kind of people.

"I think so," Ginsley chimed in, "at least one person is certainly not enough...... I'll start writing now, so go back to your seats! ”

Although the Aurors office had an Auror on duty every night, there was hardly anything going on at night. Sirius planned to get some sleep and wait for the second half of the night to replace Lupin.

But shortly after leaving Kingsley's office, before he could lie down on the couch, a figure suddenly rushed in through the door.
