Chapter 444

"... Luna... Luna?"

As soon as she ran to the lawn under the Ravenclaw tower, in the moonlight, Maka immediately caught a glimpse of the familiar pale gold.

Luna fell to the ground on her side, wearing a rather strange set of pajamas. At a glance, there seemed to be no obvious injury.

Maka hurried forward, half kneeling, picked up the girl's upper body and let it lean on her legs. Then he examined her with a little anxiety.

"... fortunately, it should be just that the head was hit and fainted."

A moment later, Maka finally breathed a sigh of relief. After carefully feeding her a few small mouthfuls of magic medicine, he picked Luna up.

Only then did he have time to observe the situation of other students.

Roughly counting, there were nine little wizards who fell from the tower. Three of them were obviously scratched directly by the black fog, and some parts of their body had been eroded gray and black shrinkage.

Fortunately, when the black fog rushed straight towards the tower, Maka's patron saint deflected its flight direction a little, otherwise it would be worse now.

Just as Maka cast another floating spell to bring them back to the castle first, Professor McGonagall and other professors rushed to the castle.

"McLean?" asked Professor McGonagall anxiously. "What happened just now? What was your patron saint talking to --"

She asked quickly, but when she saw Maka's appearance, she was startled.

"... you... Maka, are you okay?"

When Maka heard the speech, she looked at Professor McGonagall with some doubts. Then he looked down at each other's eyes. The wizard robe he was wearing was full of dark red dripping blood, and even some sticky fragments that could not be distinguished.

"Oh, it's all right! It's not my blood..." Maka said quickly. "I'll talk about it later - I don't fully understand it now. In short, take the students in first and check and treat them immediately."

He held the little wizards who were mostly in a coma with a floating spell, held Luna in his arms and walked quickly to the gate of the castle. Behind him, Professor McGonagall and Professor spraot had the same worry on their faces.

The little professor flavy looked calm. He just frowned, as if thinking about the word "silent" mentioned by Maka just now.

Snape, who stood at the end, still stretched his expressionless face. He watched Maka striding ahead and the girl in Maka's arms. He paused a little before he followed up again.

Probably because the noise just made was a little big. Many students were awakened one after another. At this time, some students ran out of their dormitories and came to the hall through the public lounge of their colleges.

Professor McGonagall yelled harshly and drove them all back.

In a hurry, Maka glimpsed Hermione and the three of them. Maybe they saw not only themselves, but also Luna in a coma in his arms.

But Maka obviously doesn't have time to explain anything to them for the time being.

All the way to the school hospital, Mrs. Pomfrey waited in the corridor - her office was on the other side of the corridor, but she was safe and sound.

It's just that the ward is a mess.

There is not only a big hole in the outer wall, but also the interior is very messy as if swept by a hurricane. Joshua shrank into the corner of the room and seemed to have fainted.

Then professor flavy quickly cast a repair spell. For a moment, all kinds of damaged objects immediately hung up and began to piece together one by one.

The collapsed hospital bed squeaked and straightened the bed board, the torn sheets and bedding automatically closed the cracks, the falling portrait was rotated and hung back on the nails on the wall, and the broken bedside table was pieced together and butted one by one

When the last brick was automatically filled into the brick hole in the crashed wall, everything became as intact as if it had never happened.

Of course, except for the big spider lying in a corner of the ward.

After taking a look at the dead "little eleven", Maka first placed the little wizards floating behind him, Joshua in the corner and Luna in her arms on the empty hospital bed one by one.

"... there's another spider here," Professor flavy said hesitantly, staring cautiously at the little eleven with four pairs of spider legs bent. "Did we miss one before?"

"No, I raised it." Maka said in a heavy way. "In fact, I stayed here to monitor it, but I didn't think..."

"Surveillance?" Professor spraot looked sideways. "What are you watching?"

"Have you forgotten?" Professor flavy soon showed a thoughtful look when he heard Maka say, "there should have been a patient in this ward before."

Maka nodded softly.

"Professor Snape, did she take the antidote you made?" he turned his head and asked.

"That's right." Snape's expression was a little gloomy. "But it takes time for the antidote to work. She shouldn't wake up tonight."

"Maybe there are other reasons?" Maka seemed to be absent-minded and replied casually, "maybe it's because of the silent person's physical problems, or something else..."

He gave a little meal, but immediately waved his hand: "Professor, Mrs. Pomfrey, let's check for the students first and think about others later."

Then he took the lead in walking to the nearest bed.

The moon tonight is quite bright. The cold silver glow not only lights up the broad school court outside the castle, but also makes the ward transparent.

While carefully examining a student eroded by the energy of the silent, Maka seemed to catch a glimpse of some dark shadow in the corner of her eyes.

He immediately turned his head vigilantly and looked out the window at the lawn, but he didn't find anything.

"... what?"

Maka frowned and said in her heart that she shouldn't look at the eyes. But the lawn of the school court is so flat that you can see everything from here. You can't hide people at all.

Still worried, he decided to go outside and explore carefully after confirming that the students were all right.

……

Late at night, after several rounds of searching inside and outside the campus, Maka returned to the ward again.

After careful examination of the students, the casualties caused by the accident have been determined.

In addition to Helen Shane, there were ten other students, including Luna. Three of them were seriously injured because of the erosion of the silent energy. Others were only physically injured to varying degrees.

If this had happened in the Muggle world, those bruised students would have died young. They have to be glad that it happened in the magic world after all.

As long as it is pure physical damage, in most cases, as long as you still keep your breath, it is very likely to recover quickly with the help of powerful healing potions and recovery spells.

And those students who were hurt by terrible magic obviously had to be even more grateful.

Because there is not only Snape, the heavyweight potion master, but also Marca, who has learned a little about the silent.

It may take some time, but it's probably only a matter of time to recover.

As for Joshua, who fainted, he was incredibly unscathed. Judging from his physical state, it's more reasonable to say that he fainted from fear than from injury.

However, at the moment, Maka obviously doesn't have much mind to concentrate on treatment for them. He was more concerned about Miss Lovegood, who lay asleep in the hospital bed.

Well, even if the girl didn't really get hurt.

In fact, Luna woke up once just before Maka left the ward to search. She was in good shape, but there was a faint bruise on her forehead. She probably hit it somewhere.

When she saw Maka with a worried face, she was still in a trance. She smiled at Maka leisurely and asked him if he wanted to go to the mistletoe to find a hook for Christmas.

Now Maka was sitting on the bench beside her hospital bed, quietly watching the soft outline of her face. Light golden fine long hair spread between the pillows, with the clear moonlight, shining like fog like magic.

This calming picture calmed the agitation in Maka's heart a little.

Until now, he had enough to organize his thoughts and repeat what happened tonight in his mind several times.

The first is the secret manor where the silent hide. Zoe, who appears in the phenomenon of replaying the curse, seems to want to say something. It was a pity that before she could finish, she was dispersed by greenward who suddenly controlled the old wizard Lenny.

There is no doubt that Zoe obviously knows something about the truth, or some clues close to the truth. And these things greenward absolutely doesn't want Maka to know.

He still remembered that Zoe said he had read part of the memory of the old wizard Lenny.

However, Lenny herself was decisively blown up by greenward, which directly led to Maka having to change all her clothes.

Well, not to mention the trivial matter of changing clothes. The key is that while Lenny turned into a rain of blood, Hogwarts was suddenly attacked by the silent.

That Helen Shane is really not a good man. Maka always has a vague guess about this. However, in this situation alone, he couldn't help but have an inexplicable feeling in the bottom of his heart.

It's like

"I always think... Something should have been missed." Marca's eyebrows tightened again.
