A breakfast didn't take much of the young wizards' time, and most of the students from the third year and above were looking forward to the Hogsmeade trip, including the sixth- and seventh-year students who had been there many, many times.

After all, as Hogwarts students, there are so few places to relax and have fun.

It's just that there are always so many students, and the meal process is still so unhurried. For example, Harry and the three of them, and Miss Lovegood, who is still immersed in the enjoyment of food.

“…… Well, you had a great time eating today, too? ”

On the faculty chair, Maca glanced at the Ravenclaw bench a few times, and when she saw the happiness on Luna's face, a knowing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Alright, while it's still early, let's go and finish what needs to be done!"

After hastily sweeping the contents of the plate into her stomach pouch, Maca immediately left his seat and walked briskly to the Hufflepuff table.

"Mr. Taon, will I visit my office after breakfast?"

Yes, since she heard about it from Ewen Ravenclaw last time, Maca was going to ask Enns about it again.

Although Elpo's resurrection itself meant that there must have been something wrong with Salazar's backhand, Maca thought it was necessary to find out.

As for why he picked today......

Obviously, students below the third grade are not qualified to go to Hogsmeade Village, so today is just an ordinary school day for them.

When Ence, who was having breakfast with the other students, suddenly looked back at Maca and nodded a little puzzled.

"Okay, Professor McLean."

Although Ens didn't know what Maca was looking for him, that didn't stop him from simply agreeing to the interview.

For him, Maca is his savior, so even a child like him who is difficult to trust others, in his heart, Maca is much closer than the bastard dad at home.

After seeing that Ens had agreed, Maca didn't say anything more, but left the auditorium and went straight back to the office.

"Maca doesn't seem to talk to students very often, does she?" Looking at the back that disappeared through the side door, Ron asked curiously, "Could it be that the homework turned in is too wrong?" ”

"No, I don't think that has anything to do with homework," Harry said slowly, looking at Ens not far away, "That's just a Hufflepuff first-year, and there are no electives in first-year." ”

"Oh, yes......" Ron thought for a moment and nodded abruptly.

As the two were talking, Hermione, who was sitting across the long table, suddenly felt as if there was someone behind her. And in the next second, a familiar voice immediately confirmed her feelings.

"Hermione, shall we go to Hogdmore together in a moment?"

The voice was so clear to Hermione's ears that she knew it was Luna speaking just by hearing it. And the moment she made out it, a thought somehow flashed through her mind that made her feel heartily frightened.

[The one who stands between me and Maca is her!] 】

Could it be that I have been holding back for too long, which has caused pathological changes in my psychology? No, Hermione didn't feel like her sanity would lose to her sensibility...... However, the thought just now was obviously her own thought!

"Hermione?"

At the Gryffindor table, Luna looked at the back of Hermione's head and called her again. But Hermione didn't look back, but took a deep breath first, as if to calm her heart.

After Hermione paused for a moment and suppressed all the distractions in her heart, she put down the Daily Prophet and slowly turned around.

[Maca is mine!] Maca is mine! Maca is mine! 】

Seeing Luna's face at such a close distance, Hermione's heart suddenly came to her heart with these three more words, so that she couldn't help but clench her fists.

No, that's not right...... Something must be wrong...... How can I think that?

"I'm sorry, I ...... I'll have to go with Harry and Ron......" Her voice seemed to be a little hoarse, with a faint hint of patience.

When Luna heard this, a pair of ethereal eyes couldn't help but sweep over Hermione's face, and there was suddenly a little more thought in her expression.

"Well, actually, I can ...... with you," she mused, "and like the previous times, we all went around together, and I thought it was more interesting than when I was alone." ”

[She doesn't deserve Maca!] Only I am the best choice for Maca! 】

"No!"

A third thought crossed her mind when Hermione jerked up from her chair, and the chair beneath her was pushed away by the crook of her leg with a screeching grinding sound.

She wasn't looking at Luna beside her, or ...... I didn't dare to look at it.

"I'm sorry."

With such an apology, Hermione shook Luna aside and walked out of the Great Hall with her legs open like a gust of wind.

However, the volume of their conversation just now was not loud, and the sound of the stool feet rubbing against the ground at the end was more abrupt, attracting the curious eyes of some of the surrounding students.

“…… Hermione? ”

Luna stood blankly in place, and after a moment's pause, she couldn't help but tilt her head and make a puzzled expression.

"I'll go see what's wrong with Hermione."

With that, Ron hurriedly got up and left his seat, trotting in the direction Hermione had left. Harry was left sitting in his place, his head slightly bowed, and the last piece of grilled sausage in his mouth.

"That'...... I'll go first? Luna thought for a moment and looked at Harry.

To be honest, this inexplicable situation, I'm afraid no one has figured out what is going on.

Especially the few Gryffindor students sitting on either side, looking at Luna, then at Harry, and finally at the doorway in the side porch, each face seemed to have a big question mark written on it.

"Ah, okay." Harry didn't look up, just responded to Luna in a calm tone.

Luna stared at Harry a few more times before leaving on her own.

And the moment Luna turned around, Harry finally raised his head, but the depth in his eyes was not noticed by anyone, including the professors in the faculty seats.

"Unexpectedly, that Miss Granger's willpower was even stronger than I expected...... Hum...... Funny modern wizards, funny modern magic ......"

He chewed vigorously on the roasted sausage in his mouth, muttering to himself in a voice that only he could hear.

……

Half an hour later, Hogsmeade Village.

"This young lady, you have such a good eye!"

"This thin quills is carefully made with good horn carving tail feathers, and the production technology is provided by the craftsmen and consultants of the head office, whether it is the selection of the pen barrel or the hardening of the nib, it is the quality assurance of our 'literati residence brand quill'!"

"And most importantly, this new quill uses our latest abrasion-resistant technology, and the magic cured on it will allow you to buy a new quill for less than 10 years......"

I don't know when the literati quill shop in Hogsmeade Village actually had an extra salesman.

As soon as Hermione looked down at the new products on display in the cupboard, the other party's mouth turned up and down unusually neatly, and she read out the sales lines that she had memorized so well at a super fast speed that Hermione was stunned.

"No, I'm sorry, I'm just going to take a look first......"

Not to mention whether the statement that "you don't need to replace it within ten years" is unreliable, just by looking at the price sign under the quill, Hermione has lost the desire to buy.

As a child with a pair of dentist parents, Hermione's family situation is still very good, and she has not been short of money to spend since she was a child.

However, her parents' money is not blown by the wind, and she will naturally not spend money indiscriminately.

"Can you show me the pheasant tail feathers?"

"Oh, okay, please wait."

Seeing that he failed to sell his sales, the salesman was not discouraged. In fact, a fine quill like the one just now was not intended for students, and he just gave it a try.

In case a local tyrant student comes to buy one, won't his sales performance go up?

As long as you see that people are interested, you will sell it, and if you fail, it will be a waste of saliva, but if you succeed, it will be an objective commission!

In a business like selling quills, he can only focus on fine products to increase his income.

While Hermione was picking out a new quill on the other side of the cupboard, Harry and Ron were just looking around in the back. They didn't need to buy a new pen themselves, and this time they came to the Literati Habitat to accompany Hermione.

"Hmm...... What happened to Hermione in the auditorium before? Ron looked at an expensive quill and wondered, "Could it be ......"

【Maca! It's Maca's fault again! 】

"Snort-" Ron pouted suddenly, a little self-loathing, "It seems that my inferiority complex can't be changed in this life?" ”

For this kind of jealous and complaining thoughts, he has already tossed in his heart thousands of times.

But due to Maca's persuasion, Ron has developed a habit of frequent objective introspection, and over time, this habit has been deeply engraved in his life.

"Well, that's right...... It was Maka's fault in the first place. Ron thought about it, and couldn't help grinning, "If there is more than one guy that girls like, they should be hung on the gallows and burned to death!" ”

Just as Ron was considering whether to set up an organization such as the "Anti-Flame Triangle Cult", an acquaintance suddenly walked in at the door of the store, and his attention was immediately drawn to it.

"Luna?" Ron immediately glanced at Hermione, "It feels bad! ”
