Harry, it's hard to say whether they have grown up. Maybe they have gradually matured physically, but a person's psychology is not obvious at a glance.
After observing the invisible beast named "Demi", Maka sat in Hagrid's cabin for a while, and then walked to the auditorium with Hagrid.
In the teaching seat of the auditorium, Maka also deliberately ate slowly in order to see if Hermione and others were different.
In Azkaban before, although Maka didn't fully believe in Eun Ravenclaw, the last reminder left by the other party was indeed very reasonable.
Always pay attention to the people around you. It's always right.
However, after paying attention to Harry three at breakfast time and Hermione in ancient magic class in the morning, he found that he seemed to be a little worried.
Well, except Harry's words seem to have changed a little more?
Since that day, about a week, Maka's life in Hogwarts seems to be flat again. During the day, I teach and do research. At night, I continue to do research and go to bed on time.
Occasionally... Only occasionally. He occasionally goes to the astronomical tower to observe the stars in the sky. The luminosity of the comet named "Hale Pope" by Muggle can be observed intuitively with the naked eye.
This is actually one of the reasons why Maka is not interested in wizard astronomy, because only stars that can be directly seen or "perceived" by wizards can be included in the measurable and usable range.
Therefore, when Maka looked up at the stars, he was only purely appreciating the beautiful landscape.
Yes, he's not even interested in picking up the single telescope at hand.
For wizards living in modern times, even the magic mysteries of their own planet are continuously ignored and forgotten. How can they touch the endless universe?
You know, according to Maka's understanding of wizard astronomy, almost every star has its own magical meaning.
These are not very clear "meanings", but they are deduced by a large number of ancient wizards from generation to generation and accumulated with reference to the experience of various events.
If we revive the wizards who studied astronomy in ancient times and take a look at the observation results of modern Muggles, I'm afraid they will be scared to death on the spot by countless stars.
However, although Maka didn't want to study astronomy in the magical world at all, she had to try to think and understand the comet that gradually flew to the sun in the sky.
Unconsciously, a week passed.
……
In recent days, the weather is getting cooler and the rain is beginning to become more.
Yes, it's almost October. It usually rains in Hogwarts during this period, and then the wind gradually gets stronger. Finally, with the rapid cooling, it turns into a heroic snow across the end of the year and the beginning of the year.
Millian and ASA have been living in a residential area in Muggle for the past week. They had a peaceful life. In addition to eating, drinking and sleeping every day, they went out to enjoy Muggle life on the premise of keeping a low profile.
Because, during this time, they were just waiting for the news of the Augustine family, and there was no other task.
"The Augustine family is really calm. These days have passed?"
That evening, Miriam sat on the sofa in the living room and put her slender legs directly on the glass coffee table. I saw her eating snacks, watching TV, and taking time to complain a sentence and a half from time to time.
To put it better, she has a personality; But if it is more objective, it is "there is no reserved as a beautiful woman".
"It doesn't matter. Didn't the boss tell us? As long as there are no major changes in the British magic world, we don't have to worry about the 'deal' with the Augustine family. If we look at the boss's information, I think it's them who should worry, isn't it?"
On the other side of the living room, ASA sat directly at the bar near the kitchen area. It's close to the refrigerator, which makes it easier for him to get cold beer at any time.
At present, they don't use magic spells as much as possible. After all, this is London. They don't want to take the initiative to provide the possibility for the British Ministry of magic to detect their own existence.
"Well, it depends when they can't help it," Miriam said vaguely, stuffing a snack into her mouth. "By the way, it's your turn to guard the house tonight... Be careful. The Augustine family may send someone at any time."
"I know," ASA said with a mouthful of wine, "every extra day, there is more possibility of people coming, depending on whether they come 'today' or 'tomorrow'."
Millian on the sofa shrugged indifferently when she heard the speech.
"What kind of impact do you think that McClane would have if he knew about the deal?" she was saying, but she felt that her wording seemed inaccurate, so she simply put it another way, "no, I mean, how would he react to it?"
ASA put down the bottle and thought, then shook his head.
"Who knows?" he said. "Although we have had a hand with him once and have been repaired, our understanding of him is actually limited to information. What will he think? Anyway, I can't figure it out."
"Yes!" Miriam could not help shaking her head when listening to ASA's words. "Just as we can't figure out the boss's idea at all, McLean, who has created many miracles, is also a genius wizard completely different from us."
"If I had met him before, I might have thought he was just a lucky young man," she said. "But now... It might have been an ignorant intention to speculate on the thinking of a genius?"
"Alas, all this is only temporary anyway," ASA sighed. "Since you can't guess, don't bother that God at all. Just go according to the plan given by the boss."
During their conversation, the sky gradually darkened. Although it was cloudy and rainy outside all day, they also knew that another night was coming.
Millian glanced out of the window, then folded her legs and stood up from the sofa. She twisted her waist and moved her muscles and bones.
"Come back at 2 a.m.?" Asaph said casually when he saw her get up. "Remember to bring me something to eat today, so I won't have to do it myself."
"OK," Miriam replied as she walked to the door, "but that bar only has fish and chips, and it tastes a little bad... Don't blame me for not reminding you in advance!"
"Ah! Can't you change one?"
Asaph had not had time to say more when he saw the door slammed shut.
"No change!"
A vague voice came in through the door. ASA was depressed for a while.
"Always feel... Since the end of the last mission, the girl has become more careless than before?" he looked at the closed door and said to himself with some doubt.
But when he turned his head and saw the pile of empty bottles on the bar, he reluctantly rubbed his forehead.
"Forget it. Looking at these wine bottles, I suddenly felt that I was the guy who was the least qualified to say her."
To be honest, the strength shown by Maka at that time was stunned by the whole team. Compared with Maka's age, the invisible impact is more difficult to calm.
They are a group of elites who have experienced a lot of life and death. Under the awareness that everyone will die, they have high quality both physically and mentally.
But sometimes death is not the only thing to fear. When people find that their efforts may be just a joke in the eyes of others, this feeling of being completely denied is enough to overthrow absolute self-confidence at one stroke.
"It's also children without parents. Why is the gap so big?"
ASA drank the cold beer in one gulp, then pushed the empty bottle onto the bar. When he took his hand back, he stroked the tip of his hair behind his head.
The water vapor on the bottle wall stuck to his hand and touched his scalp through his fingers, bringing sporadic chill to ASA's brain.
But just then, there was a slight knock at the door, which pulled his thoughts back to the reality in front of him.
"Oh, finally?"
ASA rubbed his face, and then stood up from the high stool - a little alcohol didn't get him drunk, but all kinds of thoughts in recent days made his mind more or less confused.
"Click."
He went to the door and twisted the handle. Soon he saw the man standing outside the door.
It is clear that the other party is a wizard, because the other party is wearing a simple and elegant wizard robe.
The embroidered mark of the family emblem on the young wizard's collar clearly shows the power he represents.
"Excuse me... Does Miss Miriam live here?"
ASA looked at this beautiful "little white face" and somehow felt a little disgusted. Of course, he has never been an emotional person, and he has always been good at his surface camouflage.
"Yes," he nodded slightly, "are you master Augustine?"
Of course, ASA knew the appearance of the mission target, and Miriam had already shared with him the general feeling of what she actually saw.
Recognize the wrong person, that doesn't exist.
"Exactly," said Marlowe, standing outside the door and giving a slight and polite salute to ASA without any criticism, "you must be the 'other companion' mentioned by Miss Miriam? My father invited you and hoped you could enjoy a chat at home. It will be all right in the next two days."
Then he took out two very formal invitations and handed them to ASA.
