Gently tear the fluffy and moist dough and squeeze in the creamy whipped cream, then spread a thick layer of strawberry jam...... From the moment the dessert plate was placed in front of the two of them, a rich sweet fragrance instantly hit the nose.

When you put the freshly made sweet muffin in your mouth, the first bite is the cream and strawberry jam pouring out of the dough. Evoked by the mild and sweet taste, there is undoubtedly an indescribable happiness.

It wasn't until Hermione and Luna had recovered from the silence of enjoying dessert that Maca smiled and asked:

"How does it feel?"

"Great! Maca, you should open a dessert shop in Diagon Alley, and when I get a job after I graduate, I'll eat it every day! ”

Luna's reaction was as happy as ever. As she spoke, she reached for the tray on the side of the table, and Maca slapped her "greedy claw" aside.

"The last piece is reserved for someone else, don't fight its idea." He said angrily.

"Oh-"

Luna, though obviously still wanting to eat, retracted her hand with a look of regret.

Compared to the greedy Luna, Hermione is obviously much more reserved. I saw that she first looked down at the empty plate in front of her, and then said:

"Maca, this muffin is really good, did you make it?"

If so, then he's too good – not only can he be a professor as a peer, but he can also be a temporary therapist at St. Mungo, and now he can make such delicious desserts.

And yet—

"Well, is it really delicious? That's how good you can say......" Maka smiled a little smugly, but spread her hands at the end, "Of course, I didn't do it! ”

Seeing Maka's initial reaction, Hermione thought this was what he did! But who knows, Maca, who was still smiling smugly in the first half of the sentence, suddenly denied her conjecture later.

So what are you so proud of there!

"Oh, but!" "I didn't do it, but I found the person who made it...... Hannah, you and Neville come out too! ”

After shouting back, he turned back and said:

"I think you're going to be a little confused if you were suddenly called here to wait today, right? Actually, it's like this......"

"Katherine Pierce, a young patient in the Spell Injury Division, you know that too, right? In fact, although everyone may not know, today is actually her birthday......"

"Oh, you mean little Cathy?" Luna nodded immediately, "Is it a birthday...... A fantastic day. ”

Unlike Luna, who had been in charge of the patients on the second floor, Hermione knew about the mother and daughter. Therefore, when she heard Maca mention it, her mood was obviously lower.

After a slight pause, she sighed softly:

"That'...... Do you want us to surprise little Cathy together? Well, it would be best if she could be happy. ”

"Now, this is it." Maca pointed to her face and chuckled, "That's why I had to let you gather here first—it wouldn't be a surprise if you brought this face with you later!" ”

"Ahh Hermione subconsciously touched her cheek, "But...... Okay, I'll take note. ”

As Hermione tried to look more cheerful, Hannah and Neville walked over from the kitchen, and Neville could be seen holding another tray in his hand.

"I gotta say, Hannah's craft is really good." "Especially for desserts, I think little Cathy will love her birthday cake." ”

After admonishing both of them, Maca finally led everyone out.

In the hallway outside the dining room, Harry and the others were already waiting.

"Everyone is together, let's go!"

……

"Click—"

The doorway of the ward rang with the sound of the doorknob turning, causing little Cathy, who was sitting on the hospital bed to flip through the magazine, to look up suddenly.

Just then, she saw Maca coming in through the door.

"You're here!" She closed the magazine and said happily, "Where's the sweet muffin?" Brought, right? ”

"Cathy!"

Mrs. Pierce, who was accompanying her, seemed to think that it was rude for her daughter to talk to Maca like this, but she really couldn't bear to blame her daughter, so she could only call her softly.

But just this soft call from her mother also made little Cathy subconsciously restrain a little. Although her eyes looking at Maca were still full of anticipation and urging.

"It's all right, Mrs. Pierce."

Maca smiled at Madame, then went to the end of little Cathy's bed, and handed her a plate of cream and jam muffins in her hand very usually.

"Let's eat!"

"Huh-"

Little Cathy looked at the plate of muffins and swallowed her saliva secretly, but she still stretched her voice and said a little awkwardly:

"Isn't there anything more special to say? Treat me like a child again! Miss Ben is not such an easy person to be fooled! ”

From an angle that her daughter couldn't see, Mrs. Pierce smiled bitterly at Maca very apologetically, but Maca naturally didn't care about little Cathy's willfulness.

"Oh, my beautiful Cathy," he said with a smile as he held the plate in one hand, "I was rude just now—then enjoy this delicious plate of muffins!" ”

"That's pretty much it!"

When Maca finished speaking, she immediately took the plate of muffins in her hand, picked it up and took a big bite without saying a word.

Seeing that her daughter had glued the whipped cream to her face without realizing anything, and was still happily chewing on the muffin, Mrs. Pierce could not help but show a touch of emotion.

"Thank you."

She nodded to Maca again, gestured in thanks, and immediately looked down at her daughter's face again.

This time Maca didn't say anything more, he just stood quietly on the bed, smiling as little Cathy finished the muffin, and Mrs. Pierce gently wiped the cream off her face.

"Well, it's delicious," little Cathy said elegantly, ruffling the ends of her hair on the side of her ears, "and you can be proud of Miss Ben's compliments, Maca!" But I still have to remember to bring an extra one to my mother next time. ”

"No, no, I don't-"

"Yes, my young lady."

Marka didn't wait for Mrs. Pierce to finish, and immediately gestured in the direction of the door:

"In that case, don't wait until the 'next time' - let's just do it today!"

Before the words fell, the door of the ward was opened from the outside, and Hermione and a group of friends rushed in from the outside. This room, which was originally quite spacious, became crowded in an instant.

And while the mother and daughter were a little stunned, Maca seized the opportunity and said:

"By the way, I would like to add another ......"

"Happy birthday to little Cathy!"

As if she was frightened for a long time, Cathy on the hospital bed blinked her eyes and said a little reluctantly:

"I ...... Just call me Cathy, I'm not small...... Wait, how do you know my birthday? I don't remember telling you? ”

As she said this, her big bright eyes flickered faintly, and there seemed to be a moist glow flowing in them.

After a bit of commotion, Maka stepped back a little and made room for Neville and Hannah, who had already begun to serve cakes to the front of the bed.

Looking at the smiles on the faces of the mother and daughter, the expressions on his faces still didn't seem to have changed much.

"Maka, you seem to ...... Not so happy? ”

Because little Cathy's hospital bed was surrounded by "ladies" at this moment, Ron and the others, who couldn't squeeze in, could only stand on Maca's side before they knew it.

Seeing Maca's seemingly unchanged smile, Ron couldn't help but ask.

But Maca shook her head.

"No, of course I'm happy," he said, "but ...... How so? And that's to be expected...... It's just the joy of planning. ”

"What do you mean?" Harry asked, blankly, "You mean...... This birthday celebration should be up to us, right? In that case, you will be 'surprised' too, right? ”

"It's not me—" Maca said, waving her hand, "What's the use of surprising me?" ”

As he spoke, he chuckled again, and then followed:

"I mean, little Cathy." He nodded his chin towards the bed, "Don't think she's just a child's play—seriously, she's a lot more mature than you think!" ”

"Listen, what would you think if I told you that I had already told her what it was?"

Maca's words stunned Harry and the others, and then an incredible look appeared in those eyes.

"Really? You...... She knows? Ron was stunned, "But...... Oh! It's hard for me to believe......"

However, as if still not letting go of their little hearts, Maca continued:

Not only that, but she also knows about today's birthday celebration. In fact, it was I who secretly discussed the decision with her...... And in a little while, Mrs. Pierce will have to tell little Cathy the so-called 'truth'. ”

"Of course, this is not predetermined...... I might have to push her again later. ”

But when she saw that several of them were stunned in place, Maca could only push them one by one first.

"Come back to your senses, don't be here in a daze," he reminded in a whisper, "and the reason I'm saying this to you now is to remember to help get Hermione and them out for a moment—you know, when necessary." ”

"Uh...... Oh. ”

Seeing Ron and the others answering one by one, Maca turned her gaze to the hospital bed again. In the crowd, little Cathy was still smiling so sweetly.
