Valentine's Day is over.

Some people may think that this day passes too quickly, and some people may think that this day passes too slowly, but these are really inconsequential thoughts. Because in the days that followed, time poured like water, and people subconsciously thought that life had completely turned into a bold water pipe - and the kind that forgot to install the faucet.

As for what Valentine's Day is, it is in the past, and among those little wizards who are busy studying, how many can still remember it?

After that, not to mention the remaining ten days of February, even March was a flash. Everyone had just looked up from the mountain of revision tasks, but they were stunned to find that Maca had already returned at some point.

The nearly two-month trip to France did not make much change in Maca. On the contrary, there is a part of the Hogwarts students that has changed that is noticeable.

Harry and Ginny, for example, went to the Quidditch pitch every day during this time - yes, Ginny was selected as a substitute for the Gryffindor team through her own efforts. Judging by her increasingly skilled technical movements, it was only a matter of time before she became a full-fledged member.

Another example is Ron and Lavender, their wonderful couple finally broke up, and the latter took aim at Neville's boy even more incredibly. Of course, Neville's attention is basically focused on Hannah, and the story between the three of them is still to be seen!

Another example is Hermione and Luna, two girls who can't get together no matter how you look at them, and they surprisingly become good sisters. Although they never talked for long, their relationship was not badly affected by this, and they were often seen walking side by side among the bookshelves in the library......

Well, during Marka's absence, there were so many changes in Hogwarts that I couldn't talk about it for a while.

And just as these changes are taking place gradually, it seems that summer is coming.

“…… No, forget it! Maka walked in the corridor leading to her office, casually glanced out of the window, and secretly said in her heart, "Summer in England, I really look forward to it, but it's a pity that ......"

That's right, summer in the UK is always something many people look forward to. Unfortunately, what everyone is looking forward to is not the heat, air conditioning and delicious ice cream, but the opportunity to finally lie on the lawn and bask in the sun!

Because in England, summer can only be described as "warm", especially in the north where Hogwarts Castle is located.

Maca withdrew her gaze from the window, shook her head, and walked on.

He had come back yesterday, and had already taken his first class since his return, after thanking the previous Demon Literature Professor, Ba Buring, for being a substitute teacher. Speaking of which, in order to make up for Maca's vacancy this time, Ba Buring interrupted her trip to the East to investigate the ancient magic scriptures and rushed back, and he really had to thank him a few times.

After returning to her office, Maca lit the fire and made tea for a while, and then sat down behind her desk, opened the curtains and enjoyed the rare sunlight these days.

It can't be helped, it's been raining a lot lately. And in the hellish weather of the UK, when it rains, you must add clothes and bedding, otherwise you will wait to be frozen like a sieve!

And when he squinted his eyes in the warm sunshine, the days after Valentine's Day he had spent in Fort Blois quietly came back to his mind.

If I have to say, there weren't so many things to remember about those days. Except for the occasional hoeing and planting flowers with Willy, most of the rest of the time is spent in the laboratory. Before he could start solving the problem for Willy, he needed to do a lot of theoretical research, and after coming to a reliable conclusion, he would have to repeat and verify the more obscure calculations.

As for whether Willy's bloodline curse was finally solved, this question ...... Well, sure enough, let's talk about it later! For now, at least, Maca doesn't want to think about it for the time being.

In addition to this, there is another thing that deserves his careful consideration. On the evening of the day after Valentine's Day, Willy's father found him and relayed him an important piece of information. And the most crucial figures in this matter are the three mysterious black-robed wizards who came to visit Fort Blois that day.

"McLean, do you know your Werther family in the British wizarding world? I have something here that you might need to know......"

At that time, Willy's father really said it, and when Maca heard it, her brows furrowed on the spot.

"You really know, don't you?" "I don't know exactly what kind of contact you had with that Werther family, but now, you have to at least be careful—the Werther family will also send representatives to participate in that alchemy tournament." ”

"The Werther family?" Maca, who was standing at the table at the time, immediately asked, "Mr. Blois, since you say that, it means that they have already sent someone to contact you, right?" ”

"Yes," Blois nodded slightly, "they want to invite me to work with them to plot Nicol Lemay's alchemical legacy...... I accepted this cooperation. ”

Needless to say, the reason why Willy's father accepted the so-called "cooperation" is probably inseparable from his maca. Not to mention mentioning the matter to him afterwards, the meaning is self-evident.

In other words, if the Nawit family wanted to do something about that event, he could get first-hand information from Mr. Blois.

But what exactly does the Werther family want to do? For now, that's still an unsolved mystery.

“…… Anyway, let's go meet with Charlotte first! Maca stretched out in her chair, "And Delphi, it's time to visit the kid at Fisher's house...... I don't know how Voldemort is doing lately? ”

……

On the other hand, compared to Maca basking in the sun, Harry and the others were much more burdened.

Lately, the professors and Hermione have been reminding them that . . LS exams are approaching all the time ahead. With each passing day, the closer they got to the exam, the pressure kept increasing on the little wizards.

Like Hannah, who was distraught by Neville's unexpected confession, the pressure was much more pronounced. In today's herbal medicine class, she suddenly burst into tears, sobbing and saying that she was so stupid that she almost didn't deserve to take the exam, and that she wanted to drop out of school now......

Well, she's the first student of the year to receive a tranquilizer from Madam Pomfrey.

And apart from the students, one professor doesn't seem to be in good shape.

Hagrid had been overly concerned about the giant baby Flober caterpillars lately, spending his days in the backyard circling them outside of class before being "affectionate" by his older brother because Hagrid had forgotten to accompany him these days.

Trust me, Hagrid looks really bad with a blue nose and a swollen face, because he's already bloated enough.

Hermione, on the other hand, is smiling more and more these days.

"Luna, you should use more weight here, remember to do what the book says......"

At the reading table in the library, Hermione pointed to a Potions textbook and patiently tutored Luna, who was sitting next to her.

During this time, she discovered that Luna was also very intelligent, and she was very quick to digest and absorb all kinds of knowledge. As long as she is willing to learn, she can put it all into her mind after studying it carefully.

It's just that sometimes, her cleverness can hurt her. Because she always likes to add more imagination to some step-by-step learning content, like potions, and it will be difficult to mix without rigor.

But that's why Hermione was able to find the right way to get along with Luna so quickly. It is only in the process of learning that their communication will have a common benchmark, so that she will not be overwhelmed by Luna's leapfrog thinking.

However, why she became friendly with Luna is unknown for the time being.

“…… No, it's not! Luna, look at the book, don't change the calculation formula! Hermione pointed to the textbook again and whispered, "This is it, voila!" Here it should be...... Oh wait! ”

As she spoke, she suddenly paused, and the books that had been taken off her eyes fell to the entrance of the library.

"Luna, it's Maka—" she said suddenly, "yes...... I think we can go and talk to him, what do you think? ”

Luna looked up in confusion when she heard this.

"Really? Oh...... All right? ”

Luna answered very simply, but just looking at her trance-like expression, it was really impossible to determine whether she had heard what Hermione had said.

Seeing that Luna responded quickly, Hermione began to hesitate again. Although she had already made a decision, after all, even Luna had already talked to her, and now the two have become good friends...... But for her, discussing with Maca still has a completely different meaning.

"Hmm...... Where's Maca? Luna looked left and right and said dreamily, "Has he had lunch?" Well...... It's just been a short time since class, so I guess I haven't eaten yet, right? ”

"Let's put the lunch problem aside!" Hermione pursed her lips and said, "Luna, you say-"

However, Luna didn't let her finish her sentence this time.

"Let's go!"

As soon as Hermione spoke, Luna stood up, grabbed her by the crook of her arm, and pulled her towards the door.
