"In this interview, we can see more than just what Maca has to say about ancient magic and ancient wizards...... What he wants to convey to the people more is obviously his unyielding confidence in the face of Helbo! ”

To be honest, it's really rare for Ron to express his opinion in such a serious way. What's even more surprising is that he still makes sense this time.

Across the table, Hermione raised an eyebrow at him in surprise.

"I can't imagine that you can still talk through your brain!"

"Why can't I talk with my brain?"

For Hermione's joking compliment, Ron argued with a bitter face and dissatisfaction, but then he could only sigh and say:

"Alright! I'll admit, I'm saying this mainly because I have faith in Maca. ”

When Hermione heard this, she immediately nodded and said with a smile:

"I thought you had suddenly opened your mind! I can actually analyze Maca's intentions from this interview report, but after you say this, I can understand! ”

It's normal for them to joke with each other, and as soon as they heard Hermione make fun of Ron, Neville and the others who were sitting nearby immediately followed suit, laughing and laughing at Ron's aggrieved look.

However, everyone, including Ron himself, actually knew that Hermione was actually praising Ron's words in disguise.

Of course, as for the content of the interview about Helbo in the Daily Prophet, everyone can talk about it, after all, even Maca does not mention it too explicitly.

Soon, the conversation naturally returned to the upcoming Hogwarts Study Tour.

It was clear from the lively atmosphere of discussion that everyone was very interested in this event.

However, after a period of excitement, Hermione, who had always been sensitive to changes in the demeanor of the people, noticed that one of them seemed to be suddenly much less interested.

"Neville?" When she realized this, she immediately asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Neville hurriedly shook his head at Hermione's inquiry.

"Oh, nothing...... It's true! ”

"Really?" Hermione said hesitantly, "Neville, if you have anything to say, say it!" Aren't we friends, and there is no need to have too many scruples between friends! ”

Hearing Hermione talk about her friend, Neville hesitated for a while, but nodded honestly.

"Hmm......" he pursed his lips, "I might ...... I can't join you all at this event. You know, my parents and grandma-"

Is it a parent's signature issue?

No, it's obviously not such an easy reason to solve - Hermione pondered for a moment, and then said with a little abruptness:

"You are not worried about the situation of your family, so you want to take the opportunity of the study tour to go to St. Mungo to accompany them, right?"

"Hmm," Neville nodded again, "I'm sorry...... It's rare that in a period like this, there are days when everyone can be happy together, but I ......"

"Neville, I'm here too!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by Hannah, who was sitting next to him.

"No, such a good event, you don't have to-"

"Neville!"

Hermione spoke again, and Neville still hadn't finished his sentence.

"There's nothing to be sorry for, we can all understand your thoughts about staying with your family...... Ron, Ginny, you say yes! ”

"That's right!"

Ron then followed Hermione's words.

"And," he said earnestly, "Neville, you're not supposed to say 'I'm sorry' to us—do you think we're the kind of people who don't make sense?" ”

Don't look at Neville's seemingly different person over time, as if he is much more reliable than in the past. But in front of these friends, he is still the honest boy who is quite introverted.

Hearing Ron's rhetorical question, he hurriedly shook his head.

"No, of course you're not!"

"That's it!" Ron patted him on the shoulder and laughed, "Like Hermione just said, aren't we friends?" As long as you still regard us as friends, then don't have so many scruples! ”

And at this moment, Ginny, who had been sitting next to Hermione, suddenly reached out and grabbed Hermione's arm.

"That'...... Why don't I go? She whispered, "You see...... Harry, he's still in the Room of Requirement, and we don't know what happened to him...... In case he came out of it during his study tour, someone had to stay outside to meet him. ”

Ginny's words immediately quieted down a few friends around her.

"Hmm."

After a moment of silence, Hermione finally bowed her head slightly:

"Actually, I was thinking about it just now...... Oh, yes! Someone has to stay. ”

To say that the scene of the big guys discussing the study tour just now is obviously not fake, because they are undoubtedly fantasizing about everyone laughing together.

But at the end of the day, it seems that all these concerns make them only able to fantasize after all, and once those colorful soap bubbles are punctured one by one, it seems that all that is left is reality.

"Besides...... If Harry hadn't been here, we probably wouldn't have been able to really have fun! ”

Although the words were not completely explained, Hermione's meaning was actually very clear. I saw Ron spread his hands with a look of regret, and then said very firmly:

"Then let's all stay! When we graduate, we'll be able to take advantage of the time before work to go on a trip together – with Harry! ”

……

The changes on the side of the Gryffindor long table, Maca sitting here in the faculty chair are naturally in full view.

While noticing that Hermione and the others were gradually becoming less interested, although he could not think of Neville's decision at once, it was obviously not difficult to guess what Hermione and Ginny were thinking.

"Although I can understand your concern about Harry...... Unfortunately, Harry in the Requirement Room aside, at least Hogwarts Castle will not be able to keep anyone else. ”

With a slight shake of her head, Maca hurriedly stuffed the contents of her plate into her stomach. After cocking his neck and draining the juice in one gulp, he finally got up and walked straight to Hermione's side.

"Have you eaten them all? If you're done eating, come out with me! Marca stood behind Hermione and spoke, then suddenly turned around and beckoned to the Ravenclaw table, "Just in case, Luna, you can come too!" ”

After saying hello again, he didn't stay where he was, turned around and left first by the side door. After all, Hermione knew about the meteorite fall, but he hadn't thought to let the other students hear about it.

Looking at the back of Maca walking out of the doorway, Hermione and the others looked at each other a few times, and they couldn't help but be a little puzzled - they would never have thought that Maca could guess the conversation they had just just by looking at it from a distance.

"What could it be?" Ron couldn't help but wonder.

Hermione thought for a moment, glanced at Luna again, and then whispered:

"It could be 'that thing'...... As you know, last time Maca gave me the task of setting up the Script Array with Luna. ”

"Oh, that's why you called Luna with you?" Ron tilted his head, still wondering, "But what are we calling for here?" Only you and Luna understand the ancient magic script, and we are just coolies? ”

"Who knows?"

Hermione also shook her head a little puzzled, seeing that Luna was already coming this way with two slices of toast covered with jam in each hand, she didn't think much about it, put away the Daily Prophet in her hand and got up to meet the other party.

"Luna, it's not impossible to take it away, but don't wipe the jam, right? Be careful not to rub it on someone! ”

"But...... I love the blueberry jam today. ”

As she spoke, Luna opened her mouth and took a big bite on the toast in her left hand, revealing a happy and satisfied expression.

"You know, blueberry jam isn't available every day!"

"That's it! Don't talk while eating, you can't hear clearly-"

Hermione sighed helplessly, and then beckoned her to speed up her pace, keeping up with Ron and the others who were already walking in the direction of the side door.

Maca didn't go far, and there was no one outside the auditorium when everyone hadn't finished their breakfast. When everyone came out of the side door, they turned their heads and saw him standing on the bulletin board.

"Marka," Hermione stepped forward and asked quietly, "are you asking about the Mowen Array?" Luna and I were already experimenting with the slates – and we thought it would be more efficient to use them to arrange them. ”

"Then Neville and I were helping them with the slates, the simple menial work," Ron said, shrugging his shoulders, "I have to say, this job is a good fit for me...... It all made me think I had a talent for making slate! ”

"It's a very special talent," Maca said, laughing and crying, "all right! It's not the main thing to call you out, but I think you're doing a good job...... It's nice to use slate, and you can even put away the undamaged ones later. ”

As he spoke, he suddenly turned to say:

"But what I'm trying to say is actually about the study tour program - if I'm not mistaken, you're planning not to participate in the event, are you?"

"How do you know?" Ron was surprised.

"Look at the way you just looked, is there any other possibility besides worrying about Harry?" Maca asked rhetorically, "Besides, Harry is also my friend, you would think of it, then I can't think of it?" ”

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and then said in a deep voice:

"But I have to tell you that Hogwarts Castle will need to be closed during the event, whether you participate in the study tour or not. As for the reason...... Hermione, don't I need to say more? ”
