Chapter 2011: On the eve of dinner

“…… So I think we have to find a way to reach out to Maca, at least face to face and hear his explanations of these actions. Otherwise...... Even those of us who have watched him grow up to the present may still be able to understand him, and I believe that even if something is wrong, it is probably just because of Haier's fluctuations. But what about anyone else but us? ”

Sirius spread his hands and said very seriously:

"This is undoubtedly a very serious matter – by this time, almost all of us have lost the power of maca in this disaster. The more times like these, the more we need the support of all people, but we must not go wrong again! ”

At this, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and turned his head to look into the bar.

"Charlotte, you're the youngest of us, and you're Marca's classmate, so you're probably closer to him—do you have any thoughts on what I just said about Maka?"

However, Charlotte's answer was more crisp than everyone expected.

"I don't know."

She said in a daze, and then lowered her head again, and said while wiping the bar:

And, maybe not just me, almost everyone never really read his inner thoughts. Sometimes you feel that he is very close to you, but sometimes you can feel very clearly that he is far away from you, even if you try your best to reach him. ”

Like Safina, Maca always wore a mask. The only difference is that Safina's mask can be seen and touched, but Maca's mask seems to have long been integrated with him.

Therefore...... This is indeed very strange, why is a "hypocritical" person like Maca always able to gain the respect and trust of so many people?

Perhaps, whether it is "inconsistent on the outside" or "consistent on the outside", anyone who can consistently implement the practice of thinking about others will definitely be a respectable person.

"Well......" Sirius couldn't help but groan slightly after hearing Charlotte's words, and then turned around and said, "Anyway, we'll have to pick one, or some people, to come out and meet Maka—"

However, before he could finish his words, everyone heard the goats in the small garden outside "bleating" twice, which made him subconsciously stop.

"Here," Aberforth said casually, a little nonchalantly, "either Arthur or Molly...... My little darling saw only one person. ”

Aberforth Dumbledore had a mediocre theory of magic, a great level of dueling, and a good knowledge of goats—all of which everyone knew. Merely...... Of course, Aberforth obviously didn't know much goat language, he was just familiar with the personality and habits of the goats he raised.

After a moment's pause, Sirius suddenly waved his hand at Lupin and said:

"Alright! I'll take a break...... You can say 'that thing'. ”

With that, he stood up, went back to the bar and re-picked up the glass he had just set aside, then turned and leaned against the bar, looking at the door and taking a sip.

Scotch Friars is a Muggle wine, lacking the unique magic of flame whiskey, but it's still very good. And more importantly, Sirius doesn't pick.

Just as the amber liquor slid down his throat, Arthur Weasley walked in through the door with a "jingle bell". It can be seen that he is also carrying a large dinner basket in his hand, which is covered with a cloth, and it seems to contain a lot of things.

"Oh! Is it all that early today? Luckily, Molly came into the kitchen early today—it's almost ready, and today's dinner was hearty! ”

Arthur said as he walked briskly to the table and placed the large basket on the table.

"What are you talking about? You don't have to stop and wait for me, just keep going! He laughed and said, "It's going to take a while to put everything in here!" Not...... You can't use spells all the time, and sometimes it's a little inconvenient. ”

"I'll help you."

Charlotte whispered, then walked out from behind the bar and went to Arthur's side to work with him.

Yes, it seems that Arthur was right, and Mrs. Weasley did prepare a good dinner today. After all, today is also the day when the people of the Blois family bring supplies over, and everyone will live a little more luxuriously on that day.

And it was just as the two of them were laying out the various foods that Lupin finally spoke.

"Then I'll take out a special letter I received today and show it to you!" He pulled out the letter he had read to Sirius again, placed it on the table, and said, "I'm sure you've seen it too—Professor McGonagall's handwritten letter from the Change. ”

To be honest, the news McGonagall had told in this letter was no worse than the recent situation of Maca, which Sirius had just mentioned, both of which were surprising.

"The ship is coming back." Lupin said succinctly, "We all know that the Change has always maintained a certain amount of contact with the front line during this period of time, and many things and many things have changed...... Children may not be told too much, but the professors should know it. So, I'm actually curious—why did Professor McGonagall choose this point in time to return? ”

Yes, it was a very puzzling decision, and it was not at all in line with Professor McGonagall's sensible and cautious style.

Unless......

“…… I think there may be something unusual even at sea! Seeing that everyone else was also puzzled, Lupin finally said his thoughts directly.

And his speculation seems to have reminded everyone, and many people have a sudden expression.

You must know that the change was loaded with sufficient supplies before it officially set sail, and the huge space in the cabin expanded with the Traceless Stretching Charm was enough to make all the teachers and students drift on the sea for a long time. For the sake of the students' safety, Professor McGonagall probably wouldn't have returned easily.

Therefore, this incident immediately caused everyone to fall into all kinds of thoughts, especially Lupin's reminder, which made everyone frown.

After a moment, Kingsley suddenly seemed to think of some key point, and couldn't help but speak:

"You say, Professor McGonagall, where will they choose to land?"

Is Beauxbatons? Or go straight to Armstrong? Anyway, although the letter hasn't been written yet, McGonagall seems to be thinking about it. But...... It can't be Hogwarts, right?
