Chapter 445

Hogwarts' accidents one after another finally made some parents unable to bear it any longer.

Even during this period, gidrow Lockhart would conduct appeasement publicity activities in public from time to time, but the frequent occurrence of events made his publicity effect decline continuously.

The next morning, with the guardians of nearly 20 students coming to Hogwarts to meet Professor McGonagall, the reporter of the prophet daily soon got the news and hurried to Hogwarts.

It can be predicted that tomorrow's newspaper will not be very good-looking.

Of course, after all, these parents are parents, and it is natural for them to think about the safety of their children. In this regard, there is nothing wrong with their behavior, and no one can stop them from taking their children.

Because of his feelings for Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall naturally kept him. But even if the students are willing to stay in school, most of them can't beat their parents.

In the end, 11 students dropped out of Hogwarts and three dropped out, including five Ravenclaw injured in last night's incident.

Among the little wizards who are still recovering, the more serious ones have been transferred to the St. Mungo magic injury hospital, while the less serious ones have been directly taken home.

To tell the truth, this number will certainly increase as soon as the relevant report in the prophet daily comes out tomorrow. As a result, Hogwarts' good reputation will inevitably crack.

Professor McGonagall was obviously depressed after he forced his smiling face to send off the students' parents.

Dumbledore had not died long before his public funeral was officially held. Professor McGonagall felt a deep sense of guilt.

She could clearly feel the unspeakable gap between herself and Dumbledore.

As for Marca, Professor McGonagall knows very well. Just look at the teacher attendance list, she knows how much energy Marca has consumed for the school and how much trouble she has quietly solved.

But Professor McGonagall knows better that no matter how capable and talented Maka is, she is just a child!

Professor McGonagall could not bear to let a child run around tired and even struggle with all kinds of darkness. But if not, I'm afraid Hogwarts is not such a simple situation that more than a dozen students quit school.

Professor McGonagall sighed very rarely as he watched the parents with their children walking towards the main gate of the school accompanied by filch.

"McLean, if you're tired, you can have a rest."

Standing on the side of the castle gate, Maka turned her head and looked at Professor McGonagall unexpectedly. Because in each other's tone, he heard a very obvious gentleness.

Mileva McGonagall, who has always been serious and tough, will not easily show softness.

It can be said that no matter how powerful a person is, he will show weakness under certain circumstances. Even if Dumbledore is as intelligent as he is, let alone others.

Marca knew that Professor McGonagall must have been under too much pressure.

"Professor," Marca whispered, "I'm actually fine. I just work hard from time to time. On the contrary, it's you. It's very difficult to maintain the operation of the whole school. Your responsibility is much heavier than me."

After a pause, he turned to counsel: "don't set too high a goal for yourself because of Professor Dumbledore, it will only create more unnecessary pressure on yourself. Now it's different from the past, and your burden must be heavier than Professor Dumbledore."

"What we need to do now is for everyone to do their best - please don't put the whole Hogwarts on themselves."

As a headmaster of a school with a long history and world reputation, he must be struggling and walking on thin ice, even if there is an "agent" in front of the headmaster's name.

Marca couldn't do such a job, so he knew more about the weight involved.

When Professor McGonagall was blinded by the heavy pressure, Maka didn't mind trying to clear the obstacles for her, because he could and could only do it.

"... good boy."

Professor McGonagall pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled at him, as kind as an ordinary grandmother. Then in the next moment, her face was again covered with severity, as if the glance that Maka had just seen was just an illusion.

"McLean, it's been a hard time for you. However, the situation will be more serious in the future. In case of any new disaster, I hope you can continue to guard Hogwarts with me!"

"Of course." Maka nodded slightly.

"Besides," Professor McGonagall paused a little and quickly continued, "it will be Christmas soon, and after the Christmas dinner, there will be a holiday - Dumbledore's funeral will be held publicly during the holiday."

"Well," said Maka, who immediately agreed, "holding a funeral in public is just to convey our confidence to the public. There is no need to let all the students participate. After all..."

After all, most of the funeral will not be peaceful - Maka didn't say that. But even if he didn't know what to say, Professor McGonagall knew it clearly.

Declaring that Hogwarts has enough confidence to resist foreign enemies can not only reassure parents, but also show determination to the dark forces. In addition, whether Dumbledore is dead or not will also become the fear of the black wizards who intend to touch Hogwarts.

Because of this, although there will certainly be no big scene and strong full-scale attack at that time, small-scale temptation is mostly inevitable.

Not to mention greenward, at least Voldemort will never miss this opportunity.

After Maka and Professor McGonagall talked more or less about the silent person last night, Professor McGonagall, who still had countless work to complete, left soon.

Maka thought and went back to the hospital ward to accompany Luna.

Although he really wanted to take Hermione to the secret island of Roy Na and try to persuade the Elves as soon as possible. But now, he really didn't want to leave Luna, because it would always make him uneasy.

Like this time, even though he was more or less vigilant from the beginning, he was always on guard against the asylum students from Greece. For this reason, he even deliberately avoided too much contact with Luna, for fear that Luna would be watched by some evil people.

But who knows, in the case of separation and lack of skills, there was almost an irreparable tragedy.

He doesn't want to do this again!

So he decided to wait until Luna was fully recovered, and then take her to the island to see the elves. As long as Luna is left by his side, it can at least reassure him a lot.

"... aren't you going to work today?"

In the ward, Luna leaned half against the padded pillow and looked at Maka vaguely. Her words were still ethereal and free, as if what happened last night had nothing to do with her.

"Well," said Marca with a gentle smile, "I always feel like I haven't sat with you for a long time. I'm here to accompany you today."

"Really?" Luna tilted her head, stared at Maka, looked up and down, and said with great interest, "I heard you went to the United States. Did you encounter anything interesting?"

"Of course, there's a lot more!" Marca nodded. "By the way, there's one thing you'll be interested in - I saw a Thunderbird over there!"

"Oh -" Luna seemed surprised, and even her trance eyes became much clearer. "It must be windy! They will create a storm..."

"Yes, the wind is strong." Maka smiled. "It is said that they are close relatives with the Phoenix, but I really don't see where they are 'close' except the tail feathers. Thunderbirds are bigger than I thought. In my opinion, they are not inferior to the fire dragon in size..."

By the sunny window, Maka chose some things from a peaceful point of view and slowly shared them with Luna. Although the darkness he encountered was obviously deeper than the light, he was really unwilling to pollute the pure girl with those disgusting people and things.

During their gradual conversation, time gradually passed, and they seemed to return to the leisurely time when they were quietly together in the back mountain of Lovegood's house.

……

However, Luna and Marka deliberately suppressed the gloom, and Hermione was completely depressed on their side.

Hermione's heart is very complicated about Helen. She was obviously very fond of the girl. When she learned that Helen had somehow become the murderer of hurting her classmates, it took her a while to accept the fact.

But after she accepted it, endless regret came out of her heart.

Last night, Maka did not read it wrong. At that time, Hermione and the three of them quickly rushed to the lobby and had a brief face-to-face meeting with Maka. And Luna, whom Maka held in her arms, was naturally seen by them.

Hermione thought she would be jealous, but later she found out that she was full of worry. Luna is a good girl. Although she often makes some strange actions, her heart is undoubtedly pure and kind.

A girl like Luna not only couldn't calm her jealousy, but also couldn't stop blaming herself for trusting Helen.

Harry and Ron understand Hermione's silence, because they are also secretly afraid.

In the aftermath of this incident, the three little lions at Gryffindor college fell into a low mood. It is precisely because they believe in the power of friendship that they will have doubts about it.

At first, although Maka caused some misunderstandings, at least the outcome was good. But this time, what was in front of them was the truth - someone really deceived their friendship.

In this silence, Ron, who was also in a heavy mood, suddenly raised his head.
