"Crackle."

A slight explosion sounded in Maka's office. The sudden magic wave immediately woke Maka who was still sleeping.

Now it is the next morning. Although the sky in the East is only slightly bright, it also means another day is coming in a hurry.

Maka opened her eyes and glanced at the bed, then yawned greatly.

"... lark?" he asked vaguely. "What's the matter so early?"

At the same time, Maka finally rubbed her eyes and sat up, leaned against the copper bedstead at the head of the bed and looked at each other.

Yes, the space within Hogwarts's courtroom is reinforced, so similar spells such as phantom movement can't take effect here. But the gifted abilities of the elves can still work smoothly, which is more curious.

However, although Maka is interested in studying the difference between the two, she has never been able to spare her spare time.

"McLean, there's something old lark needs to tell you," the old elf said softly with his back bent slightly. "Yesterday, an invisible creature appeared near the fortress site. At first, we caught it, but then at night, we took advantage of the opportunity of several left behind people to sleep."

"Invisible creatures?" Maka immediately thought of the invisible beast. After all, he just helped Hagrid catch it yesterday. "Oh, run away? Won't you sleep in turn?"

"Hmm..." old Lacker suddenly said, "that's a good idea."

When Maka heard the speech, she couldn't help smiling helplessly.

The elves who stayed as guards were not temporarily decided last night, and the object of their guard was not invisible animals - it was just convenient.

In fact, what they guard is the stone gate leading to the Dragon Cave.

"Well, as long as it doesn't go in," Marca nodded. "I know about it."

"Then old lark went back."

Before the voice fell, the elf elder was also very simple, and immediately disappeared in the room with another weak explosion.

"Invisible beast..."

Maka sat on the bed and thought a little, but soon shook her head.

"Well, to be on the safe side, go to Hagrid's later!"

Although he felt that the invisible beast would run there was purely an accident, he still wanted to be more cautious under the current circumstances.

Anyway, it doesn't take much effort to find Hagrid. If it's OK, it's right to get up and take a walk in the morning.

Now that she's awake, Maka won't plan to sleep back or anything. So he quickly got out of bed, solved the personal hygiene problem neatly, and then put on his clothes and came to the outer room of the office.

But it's too early now. Even now, the sun has just revealed a shining forehead. At this point, everyone is still sleeping in bed!

Therefore, Maka was not in a hurry to go out, but made herself a cup of tea and looked through the information for a while.

In the days since Voldemort's defeat, the intelligence update at Black's old house has not been completely broken. Only a few people, such as Sirius and Mundungus, are still walking around.

In addition, the information they harvest has to be screened by lupin, so the amount of materials that can be sent to Maka is much less than before.

A moment later.

"There seems to be no big news this week."

While sipping the special godigan tea in the cup, Maka looks like an ordinary office worker reading the morning paper.

"Except for the previous' little commotion '."

After murmuring a little, he turned over the last page of paper and then stuffed it into his waist pocket.

"However, there are too few people on Lupin's side after all. Many things may not be hit by them, let alone dig out specific intelligence."

That's true, but sometimes even if there are enough hands, it's hard to catch. In some cases, it's luck to find clues in advance.

Maka didn't think any more. After drinking the tea in the cup, she stood up and walked out of her office.

……

"Woof... Woof... Woof!"

"Ya Ya, shut up! Don't scare little Demi... Hey, it's okay! Ya Ya is just afraid because she can't see you... It's actually very timid... Come out quickly! Little Demi?"

"Woof, woof!"

"Stop, you stupid dog."

"Wuwu..."

Maka stood in front of Hagrid's hunting house, listening to the noise coming from inside, and her right hand, which was about to knock on, paused slightly.

"What is Hagrid doing..."

While hesitating slightly, he waited for a few minutes with doubts. After all, it sounds like Hagrid is obviously busy!

But when Maka found that there was almost no tendency for the noise to stop, he finally reached out and knocked on the wooden door in front of him again.

"Bang bang -"

"Woof, woof, woof!"

"Toothy, don't cry." Hagrid continued after another reprimand. "Who is it? Sorry, I can't open the door at the moment. I'm afraid little Demi will slip out as soon as I open the door..."

"It's me, McLean," cried Marca. "Who's little Demi? Is it the invisible beast?"

"Oh, Marca!"

Hagrid's tone seemed a lot lighter when she heard that Maka was coming.

"You're just in time. I'll open the door for you!" he said happily. "Of course, I mean - if you can help me stop little Demi when the door opens?"

A door opening is so big, which is obviously much more convenient than catching invisible animals on the grass last time, so Maka immediately answered.

"You drive! I'll help you stop the little guy -"

The voice dropped a little. Maka waited at the door for a few seconds. Soon he saw the wooden door of the hut pushed open gently.

Just at that moment, Maka didn't take any action for the moment of opening the door, but looked calmly at the door opened by Hagrid.

"Maka?" Hagrid looked at him suspiciously. "How..."

Before he finished, Marca waved her hand and went straight into the house.

"The little guy is very smart. He probably has a hunch that he can't slip away from me, so he didn't choose to run away."

"Oh, is that short-term foresight?"

Hagrid nodded immediately, and then immediately closed the door again.

Behind him, Maka came to the small round table and sat down. It was like going back to her home.

Of course, Hagrid never regarded him as an outsider.

"Yes!" said Maka, "it's a very convenient talent... Hey, a bald old man took the boss's effort to draw a tattoo on himself in order to get a similar ability!"

After make complaints about the old man who was still kept in Azkaban, Maca turned to look at the firewood pile in the corner of his left hand, and even waved to the other side.

"You're little Demi?" he shouted. "Come here and let me see."

After Maka's opening, the invisible beast really lifted the stealth effect.

But this is not because of Maka's words - invisible beasts can't understand human language. It just realized that Maka could clearly "see" himself.

But Hagrid obviously didn't know that.

"Oh, can little Demi understand you? It's amazing..."

"No, no, I'm just trying to say hello to it," Marca shrugged. "Don't you even try to talk to the frober caterpillar? It's the same."

"Oh, so it is."

Hagrid seemed to regret it.

Maka was sure that if he claimed he could communicate with the invisible * *, Hagrid would have to chase him until he learned it!

But now I can finally see 'little Demi', and Hagrid seems a lot more at ease.

So, taking advantage of Hagrid's distraction to observe the invisible beast, Maka also looked at the little guy. After a while, he took back his eyes and shook his head secretly.

There is nothing wrong with this invisible beast. There is no abnormality in magic wave. It is just a simple rare magic creature.

"Hagrid, I wanted to ask yesterday... Where did you get the invisible beast?"

Of course, Maka knows very well about the super high value of invisible animals. To be honest, it's not easy for him to get an invisible beast, so he's also very curious about it.

However, when Maka asked this, Hagrid was rarely coy.

"This..."

Maka looked at his strong hands twisted together, hesitating like a girl who had not been married, and couldn't help getting goose bumps all over her.

But when he saw this side of Hagrid, he was more or less counting.

"Yes... Mrs. Maxim?" Maka asked tentatively.

"How do you know?" Haggard's eyes widened. "I haven't told anyone this time?"

"Come on!"

Maka waved her hand, but she stopped studying. He just thought it would be nice if the two giants were mixed together.

"Oh, by the way," he turned away from the topic, "I heard that the little guy ran away again yesterday? And ran to the forbidden forest... He came back by himself?"

"Marca, do you know everything? You know it just at dawn?" Hagrid said in surprise. "Well, at least you don't have to keep it a secret... Harry and the three helped me. Well, they've really grown up..."
