It was about six o'clock in the afternoon. The kitchen where we usually eat has been decorated with joy.
There were all kinds of food on the long table, and more than half of them were Ron's favorite, which was obviously prepared by Mrs. Weasley with her slow maternal love.
Above the sumptuous dining table, a bright red banner hung down with the words "warm congratulations to Ron and Hermione on their election as prefects".
In every corner of the kitchen, they were decorated with beautiful ribbons, as if they were celebrating some festival.
"I think we should have a party instead of sitting and eating as dry as usual!"
Mrs. Weasley watched Hermione, Ron, George, Fred and Ginny come in and said happily, "your father and bill are on their way back, Ron... I asked the owl to send them a letter. They are all very excited!"
Fred and George looked at the banner and rolled their eyes in turn.
Sirius, Kingsley, lupin and Tonks are already here. Lena is still helping Mrs. Weasley bring more food. It seems that Mrs. Weasley will not stop filling the table.
"Miss Lena, hasn't Marca come down yet?" Hermione asked Lena who had just come out of it.
"Mr. McLean, Lenny has gone to call him," Lena said quietly, putting down the fried chicken leg in her hand.
"That guy always stays in his study. Won't he be bored?"
On one side, Tonks grabbed one from the plate full of fried chicken legs and was exchanging his teeth from one hand to the other. It seemed that he had been burned.
"I don't think so," said lupin with a smile. "He is a research maniac. He has looked like this since I first saw him... But today is different. Molly asked him to help deal with the Bogart hidden in the desk in the living room on the second floor just now."
"Yes!" said Weasley, "it's time to clean up the living room, too."
"He always thinks too much. It's okay to clean it up early in the morning." Sirius said angrily. "Anyway, I don't want to see any old things in this house again - it's best to throw away the portrait in the corridor!"
……
At the same time, in the living room on the second floor.
"Bastard Maka! My sister asked Laini to come and call you - eh?" Laini, who had just run to the door of the living room, suddenly stopped talking, stared at the inside and shouted, "bastard Maka! Are you stealing delicious food behind Laini's back? It's disgusting!"
"I've already reminded you not to treat human beings as food, don't you remember?"
In the dark living room, Maka, squatting by the desk, looked back with a rare trace of anger in her tone.
Lenny was obviously startled by him. She shrank and closed her mouth. She didn't dare to speak any more - this was the first time she noticed anger in Marca.
Even if it was just a trace, it was enough to make Lenny afraid.
Maka sighed gently, looked back at the dark shadow on the ground and shook her head slightly.
In the shadow of the ground, a man fell into a pool of blood. A clear smell of blood spread in the living room, stimulating the two people's olfactory system.
It was a Bogart, and Marca certainly knew it, and he didn't panic.
At the beginning, when he temporarily lost his emotions and emotions, Bogart could not feel his fear, so naturally he could not change the corresponding scene to intimidate him.
But now, Maka really has the emotion of "fear".
Everyone will have fear, even the crazy guy like Voldemort, and Marca will not lack this inevitable emotion.
There is no doubt that what Maka is most afraid of now is death, and it is not his own death, but the death of the girl he cares about most.
Looking at Luna lying in a pool of scarlet blood, Maka's face was not good-looking.
For parties such as Harry, Marca can let him take the initiative to contact Voldemort, the "old enemy of fate" without guilt; For friends like Hermione and Ron, because Marca clearly knows that they can't leave Harry, he can also support them in their efforts to deal with Voldemort.
But for Luna, the girl who makes him want to protect, Maka just wants her to stay away, stay away and stay away. It's best to always stand outside this circle that will hurt or even die.
However, even if he deliberately let Luna stay away and live quietly beside her father, would she really not bump into her for some unknown reason?
Marca's not sure. She's never sure.
At this moment, it is just an ordinary Bogart who has become the dead Luna. But how can he guarantee that Luna will not really become a cold one at a certain moment in the future
"Call -"
Maka took a deep breath, and the magic wand she had been holding in her hand flashed, and the Bogot that turned into Luna disappeared in a moment.
He was silent for a moment, then got up and walked towards the door of the living room.
As she passed the still timid Lenny, Maka reached out and patted her on the head, showing her usual gentle smile.
"Sorry, I'm in a bad mood occasionally - you've been doing very well these days. Let's meet the person you've always wanted to see later!"
With that, he walked steadily to the other side of the stairs.
Lenny subconsciously touched her head. It took her a while to react to what Maka said.
"The person you want to see..." she muttered, "Uncle fenriel?"
Lenny looked dazed. After thinking silently for a moment, she pursed her mouth and chased downstairs.
……
"Maka, I'm waiting for you!"
When Marca showed up at the kitchen door, Hermione stood behind the table and waved happily.
"HMM." Maka nodded. "Hermione, Ron, Congratulations!"
"Thank you!" Hermione smiled, blushing slightly.
"That Bogart has been cleaned up?" asked Tonks excitedly with a greasy mouth. "How did it scare you? I really want to know what else a guy like you would be afraid of?"
"I'm also a normal person, okay?" Marca said with a curl of her mouth. "As for what I'm afraid of... I won't tell you if I tell anyone. Die!"
"Hey! I said --" said Tonks discontentedly. "Tell me what's the matter! I can't... hey hey... I won't make fun of you with such a thing... HMM, probably?"
"All right, all right, the most important thing tonight is to celebrate Hermione and Ron. Don't go around me..." Maka took two steps aside and let Lenny in behind. "Now that we're all here, let's start!"
"Well, I think I can raise all the cups!" Mr. Weasley, who had just returned home, took the lead in raising his goblet. "Congratulations to Ron and Hermione! Congratulations on their election as Gryffindor prefects!"
Everyone raised their glasses with a smile and clapped hard. Hermione and Ron were flushed with joy.
Ron, in particular, became the protagonist of the party for the first time in his life! Well, it's one of the protagonists, but it's enough to make him happy that his chest is about to explode.
But just then, he took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"I'm really happy today. I've never thought of becoming the prefect of Gryffindor..." Ron said, shaking his head in embarrassment. "No, I never thought it was a lie. I've secretly fantasized many times..."
"Ha ha ha -"
His sister Ginny immediately laughed recklessly. It can be seen that no one else was laughing. She could only hold back her red face and put away her wild laughter.
Then she secretly stared at Fred and George, but saw the twin brothers snickering at their baby sister.
Obviously, Ginny was fooled by the two living Brothers - they must have discussed it before dinner, but in the end, she was the only one laughing, like a little fool!
Fortunately, Ron didn't care. He coughed and continued: "however, I never thought I could be the prefect, but it's true... To tell the truth, even now I think so."
"But since Professor Dumbledore gave me this opportunity, I will work hard for this unexpected surprise..." Ron sincerely said, "and the one who can let me recognize myself and understand the importance of efforts is the one I want to thank personally today..."
"He is my good friend - Marca!"
Almost everyone was surprised, including Ron's parents, the Weasleys. After all, in everyone's impression, Ron is not a introspective child.
But today, Mrs. Weasley and Mr. Weasley read a flash called "growth" in their son's words.
"You should thank yourself. After all, no matter how much I say, it won't change if you don't want to."
Maka smiled and nodded. He was really happy to see Ron's growth.
Still remembering the ending of Ron described in the book of sin, Maka couldn't help but want to do something for this "good friend".
Because Ron is different from Harry and Hermione, if he wants to grow up, he will inevitably encounter more difficulties and obstacles.
Harry and Hermione have confidence above the average, while Ron always has inferiority complex. If he doesn't break through this biggest obstacle, he can't really grow up.
"No! Marca! I know you've helped me more than anyone..." Ron shouted. "So I bought you a gift with the money my mother bought me rewards and the little pocket money I saved -"
"Bang!"
As soon as Ron bent down, a large golden crucible appeared in his arms.
"The latest fully automatic stirring gold-plated crucible!"
