Old Aslan pushed open the door to the Great Hall of Hogwarts in silence.

When many people gathered around him to ask questions, he did not answer immediately, but after thinking for a moment, he waved his hand at all the people gathered here according to his previous words:

"Pack up and get ready to leave Hogwarts."

"What? Why? When many wizards heard him say this, they couldn't help but ask, "What happened?" ”

"Don't ask," said old Aslan, "in short, pack your things, and go at once." We...... Heading south, head first to the Yorkshire Dales. ”

Before he could finish speaking, he turned decisively and walked out onto the lawn, as if intending to wait there for everyone to pack up and go out to gather.

And after watching Old Aslan's behavior like this, after looking at each other for a while, although their hearts were full of confusion, out of respect and trust for the respected old knight, they still moved one after another.

After about half an hour, everyone regrouped on the grass in the vestibule and stood in front of old Aslan.

"Old sir, though...... But we have to let all of us know why, right? The middle-aged wizard who had been used as an assistant to old Aslan and helped him deal with a lot of trivial matters couldn't help but say, "What did McLean say to you just now?" ”

This sudden departure is a very confusing thing for everyone. If you look at it logically, it may be understood that old Aslan and Maca discussed some new plan by the lake.

However, looking at the look on the old knight's face when he returned, it seemed that this was not the case at all.

But for some reason, although old Aslan was treated very rudely by the other party on Maca's side, he didn't seem to mean to say what happened to him at the moment.

Seeing that the other party asked, he just shook his head, and then said:

"The Yorkshire Dales is at the junction of the north and south of England, and is a clear junction in the density of living corpses in the information given by Miss Granger - and the terrain is easy to defend, so we moved there as a new stronghold, which is more suitable for the next step in the recapture of the city of Birmingham in conjunction with the Resistance Alliance."

"But—" The wizard looked back at Hogwarts Castle and couldn't help but say, "Isn't all the work we've worked so hard to build up to now in vain?" This is the school that all of us used to be, Hogwarts! ”

However, Old Aslan frowned slightly and said:

"After all, this castle is just a thing, is Hogwarts just such a superficial existence in our minds?"

With that, he glanced in the direction of the lake, as if by accident, and then turned away with a wave of his hand.

"Let's go! I'll leave it to Mr. McLean, we have a bigger task on our shoulders than repairing a castle, so don't waste time. ”

Before he finished speaking, he walked straight to the school gate and took the lead.

Seeing that he had obviously made up his mind, everyone suddenly had to reluctantly look back and watch, and followed him one after another.

But at this moment, Kate, who had been standing in the crowd and was puzzled and confused with everyone...... That is, the "Kate Statham" who led a team straight to Weymouth to contact Hermione some time ago finally ran two steps as if he remembered something, and chased after old Aslan.

"Wait...... Wait a minute......"

Seeing that Old Aslan didn't stop, she chased a few more steps, and then simply grabbed the other party's sleeve.

"Grandpa! I said wait! Mr. Weasley, they haven't come back yet! ”

Listening to Ms. Statham's anxious name, she is the granddaughter of old Aslan? Not to mention that she hadn't told Hermione about it at the time, not even the companions who had gathered behind her.

"Kate ......"

Old Aslan's footsteps finally stopped, but not because of Charlie Weasley, whom Ms. Statham mentioned, but because of her "grandpa".

"Have you forgiven Grandpa?" The old man looked at her and hesitated to ask.

Perhaps it was because the scene in front of them made the big guys feel quite puzzled, and there was curiosity in the wonder, everyone stopped and watched silently behind them.

"Is Miss Statham the granddaughter of Old Sir Lao? I always thought that she was just like us, just like ordinary alumni who came spontaneously and got together by accident! ”

"Don't talk, let's see the situation first......"

Whispered conversations like this erupted in the crowd, but soon fell silent again as Ms. Statham spoke.

"Is this the time to talk about this? I just wanted to remind you that Mr. Weasley hasn't come back from his patrol! They're the ones I brought in from Weymouth, and I can't leave them here, no matter what happens! ”

"It's not like you're leaving them here," said old Aslan, shaking his head, "isn't Mr. McLean here?" You should know that they are friends. ”

Hearing his words, Ms. Statham seemed to finally realize something, and subconsciously glanced in the direction of the lake.

"Grandpa, what the hell are you and him-"

"Let's go!"

Old Aslan raised his hand, interrupting her question.

……

While the elder Aslan and the others were leaving the school gate, Charlie was still flying in the wind on Nobeta at the other end of the school.

He had already handed over the closer area to the two squads, and he himself had gone to the farther area to reconnoitre.

There is no doubt that Hogwarts is a place that means a lot to many people. This is true for the old Aslan and their "returnee alumni", and naturally the same is true for Charlie and Hermione and others.

That's why Hermione sent him with two squads to follow Ms. Statham here, after all, Hermione thought that they would have to return to this place sooner or later.

And now, Charlie, who was sent to ensure the safety of the school and assist the old Aslan in rebuilding the campus, is naturally doing his best to "take care" of this old place that he misses so much.

"I don't know if Maca will take the time to come back and have a look." Charlie sat on the back of Nobeta's neck and looked at the rest of the mountains, and the fog that could already be seen a little farther away, and suddenly muttered, "What do you say, Nobeta?" ”

"Gollum—"

Nobeta, the fire dragon, let out a low roar as if she understood him, not knowing what he was talking about—at least even Charlie, who was proficient in dragon science, couldn't understand the language of dragons.

But at this moment, Nobeta suddenly turned her head, and then circled and roared a little uneasily.
