Chapter 1171: Bad News and Good News

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Read the letter for yourself! I'm going to ......" was halfway through when Hermione suddenly paused slightly, "Hmm...... No, it's up to you and Ginny to tell Maca! ”

"What's the matter?"

Ron said as he took the letter Hermione had handed him over. But to be honest, just seeing Ginny's worried expression on her face immediately gave him a bad feeling.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

To Ron and Ginny:

I think you must be together, after all, you're still in school. And now, I have to tell you a very bad thing:

Fred and George go to Diagon Alley before the fog appears, saying that they want to talk to the manager of the Jumping and Frolicking Magic Joke Shop about a cooperation, and Ashley and Mary go with them.

However, several of them did not return for the rest of the night.

Dad went to look for them at night, and Mom didn't sleep all night and wanted to go out, but Dad said before he left that he would not allow her to leave the Burrow......

To be honest, I didn't fall asleep last night...... All right! It doesn't matter how well my business is.

Just this morning, after my father continued to go out to find someone, my mother couldn't wait at home, so she told me to stay at home and went out too.

……

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

These contents were almost swept away in Ron's eyes, but every time he saw a sentence, his face changed a point.

Obviously, the contents of this letter are terrible!

And after seeing that his mother, Mrs. Weasley, also went out to find someone, Ron couldn't help but take a deep breath first, and then continued to look down:

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

……

Ron, Ginny, I knowβ€”I've been in bed for too long to be able to go to London and find someone. Not to mention that my current magic is very bad, and I haven't fully recovered my physical strength, so it's really not suitable for going out.

But, you know what? I'm the only one left in the family now.

And I'm ...... Nothing can be done.

So, I wrote to both you and McLean – yes, I sent him another letter just in case McLean was out there too. And that's probably the only thing I can do well......

So now, I'm going out too...... Stay at home any longer, sooner or later I won't be able to take it!

From your foolish brother,

Percy

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

"Oh! What about Ginny? ”

It didn't take much time to read the letter in a hurry, but when Ron looked up, he found that his sister Ginny was no longer with him.

"She can't wait, so she's going to the side of the fort," Hermione said, "believe you're done?" Let's go! ”

"Ahh

Ron paused for a moment, then started running.

"Good! Let's goβ€”"

It must be said that Ron is very understandable that Percy can't wait at home.

Because of this feeling that he can't do anything when he knows that everyone is in a hurry, he has actually experienced it repeatedly over the years.

And thinking about it this way, as the youngest child in the family, Ginny should also be constantly feeling this kind of powerlessness, right?

A short time later, when Ron, Hermione, and Luna ran briskly down the tower and rushed all the way to the hallway in front of Maca's room, they found Ginny waiting anxiously in front of the door.

"You're hereβ€”"

As soon as she saw Ron and the others, Ginny hurriedly said:

"Maca is not in the room!"

"Absent?" Ron covered his head and said, "Oh...... So where would he be now? Could it be ...... He went straight to London after receiving the letter? ”

"No, he didn't." When Luna heard this, she suddenly spoke, "Even if the matter is urgent, Maca will definitely talk to us before leaving...... You say yes, Hermione? ”

"Oh...... Well," Hermione paused for a moment, then nodded, "yes, that's right, that's it!" ”

"And where did he go?" "Is it the place he goes back to regularly but never tells us exactly where it is?" ”

Everyone remembers that Maca would often leave the castle alone and go to a place that seemed to be known only to him. As soon as Ginny noticed that Maca was not in the room, she immediately remembered it.

Hermione frowned when she heard Ginny say this.

"It's very like......ly," she said, "that if that's the case, he's usually gone for half a day...... I don't know if the owl can find the place he went to. ”

As she spoke, Hermione paused suddenly, as if she was making a decision. But soon, she nodded slightly, and then turned to say:

"Pay attention! I have something to sayβ€”"

"You're asking if we should go to London ourselves?" Ron snatched Hermione's words out before he decisively said, "Of course! Mom and Dad, they don't mention it, at least we need to find Percy as soon as possible...... I can understand his feelings, but it's so dangerous for him to go to London alone! ”

Although they did not know the current situation in London, the suspicious fog alone was enough to conjure up a lot of bad things.

In addition, the disaster in London last time is still like yesterday, which is really unrelieved.

"yes!" Ginny on the side followed suit, "Ron is right, we should go to Percy first!" ”

"Well, that's it."

Hermione saw that they all knew what she wanted to say, and she didn't need to explain any more.

But at the moment when she wanted to beckon everyone to run back, Luna's figure, who was standing not far away, made her retract her right foot that had just stepped out.

"Luna......" she asked, hesitantly, "you...... Are you going to go with us? Or stay here and ...... with Maca."

In the impression of their friends, Luna usually prefers to follow in Maca's footsteps. It can even be said that when she encounters certain options, she often subconsciously stands in Maca's perspective to make choices.

Especially in recent years, as her feelings for maca have increased imperceptibly, this tendency has become more and more obvious.

So at this moment, Hermione couldn't help but feel that Luna might not go to London with the others...... Well, no, she wasn't sure what Luna's choice would be, she just couldn't help but guess so.

This time, however, Hermione had guessed wrong.

"Of course I'll go too!"

Almost as soon as Hermione finished asking, and before she could finish speaking, Luna nodded unusually decisively. And immediately after, she added:

"Don't worry! If Maca had known, she would have agreed to let us go! ”

Luna would still take Maca's thoughts into account. But this ...... Will Maca say yes?

To be honest, Hermione really didn't know - she had always felt that Maca didn't usually put them in danger; But at the same time, Maca occasionally respects their choice for some reason.

And what is the basis by which the two reactions are distinguished, Hermione can't tell...... Perhaps, only someone like Luna, who makes choices based on intuition, can vaguely understand what Maca really thinks in her heart, right?

Of course, this is not the time to ponder these things.

Hermione didn't think much about it, and when she saw that Luna had also said that she wanted to go to London together, she immediately snatched the letter from Ron's hand, took out a pen from her bag and wrote a message to Maca.

"That's it!"

After a few strokes, Hermione shoved the letter directly into the crack of the door, then put away the pen and turned to leave.

"Let's go! It stands to reason that Percy shouldn't be able to use the Transfiguration Charm right now, so it's likely that he went straight from the fireplace to Diagon Alley...... Oh, and it dawned on me that we didn't even know if there was fog in Diagon Alley too. ”

"You'll find out when you go see it!"

These were the last words Ron said before leaving Hogwarts.

……

Hermione, they were gone, without Maca knowing.

But in fact, when they didn't find Maca in the Vice-Fort and decided to go to London on their own, Maca never left the school at all.

Yes, he didn't even go to that cave in the Forbidden Forest, he stayed in the castle all the time.

"This magic fluctuates...... That's right, it's coming from within. Looks like it's going to be ......."

While Hermione and the others hurried out of the school gate and the phantom departed, Maca was still by a familiar wall on the castle floor, feeling the magic that had penetrated it.

This fluctuation was quite subtle, and if it weren't for the fact that Maca's ability to sense magic had reached a high level, perhaps even he would not have been able to detect it.

Therefore, even if Luna has gained the ability to perceive magic now, she still fails to feel the subtle magic anomaly in the castle after all.

That's right, if she could feel it, maybe she could think of where Maca had gone.

After a moment, Makawu nodded to himself, and then turned and walked back. While walking, he still secretly pondered in his heart:

"Here, Hermione and the others should still be trying to tune up the Astronomy Tower, right? Hey, I'm going to go over there now and tell them the good news, and I'm sure they'll all jump with excitement! ”

While thinking this, Maca couldn't help but slightly speed up her pace and trot all the way in the direction of the Astronomy Tower.

However, as soon as he climbed to the stargazing platform at the top of the tower, he found that there was no one here. Only the sequential magic stone slabs on the ground, there are still some remnants of magic that have not completely dissipated.

"Haven't you already run it successfully once before?" When Maca saw it, she couldn't help frowning, and said suspiciously, "Since it has been successful, there is no need to move the stone slab arrangement on the periphery...... So where did they go? ”

After a moment's thought, he walked to the edge of the high platform and looked down twice, but he didn't see half a figure.

"Could it be to go to the kitchen to celebrate the completion?"
