Luna's okay!
This is the first thing Maka confirmed.
Luna was the last one to catch up with Hermione when she ran away... And she seemed to run a little slow, so Marca and Harry saw her first.
And then
Ron's okay! Not only Ron was fine, but Hermione didn't have any problems. Even when Maka found them, they were running back in a hurry, apparently noticing the sound just now.
"Maka, it's downstairs! The scream just came from below..."
In fact, without Hermione's warning, a possibility flashed in Marca's head - halber expected that he would find himself sooner or later, so he set his goal on other students from the beginning!
This is undoubtedly the most difficult situation to prevent.
"Harry, put away the sword first, but the hat can be put on; Ron, you go to the school hospital and inform Mrs. Pomfrey that you may need her help later," Marca said as she walked up the stairs without delay. "Well, Hermione, you go and call Professor McGonagall..."
"Then I'll go this way -"
The headmaster's office is on this floor, but it's still a distance from here. After saying hello, Hermione hurried to the other side.
Seeing this, Harry put Gryffindor's sword back into his hat pocket, and then put the branch hat on his head.
So, with a bubble of water, he looked at him in the twinkling of an eye.
But since Maka said so, there must be his reason. It's always right to follow suit.
"Marca, I need..." he wiped the waterway on his face. "Well, I mean, do you need to go to Snape's side?"
Harry never liked Snape.
Especially after the other party became a professor of defense against the dark arts, the students in each class had to be half dead, and they were always forced to contact some dark magic creatures that were easy to cause psychological shadow in class.
However, as far as Snape's practical skills as a professor of magic medicine and defense against the dark arts are concerned, he still has to admit it.
However, Maka soon shook her head.
"No, Professor Snape usually goes home on rest days, and it's the same today," he said and casually suggested, "I think you should still call him 'Professor Snape'..."
While they were talking, they were not slow at their feet and soon came to the seventh floor. When Maka found that several students were coming up the stairs from the sixth floor, he knew that most of the sound just came from this floor.
Ron didn't stop here. When Maka turned to tell which way to go, he had passed by several students on the stairs and went straight to the school hospital on the second floor.
"This way!"
Maka looked at the corridor on her right and soon found a half open door deep in the corridor. There was a big pool of water on the ground in front of the door.
Moreover, the pool of water is still growing over time, and there is no intention of stopping.
As far as Maka knows, it should be a boys' bathroom, and because there are not many common rooms on the seventh floor, in fact, few people go to that bathroom.
"Don't go there until I've confirmed the situation - you help me stop the back students and don't let them close for the time being."
After quickly telling the first few little wizards who were coming up, Maka frowned and walked quickly along the corridor.
Probably because Maka spoke seriously, the students who were still communicating with each other stopped talking. As a result, there were few people in Hogsmeade day castle, but now it became quiet.
Maka took a few steps and soon heard the sound of running water from the bathroom. In addition, he could vaguely hear some strange groans suppressed, but they were not so obvious under the cover of the sound of water flow.
"What's going on?"
Ignoring the water on the floor, Maka quickened her pace and opened the bathroom door. The next second, he was stunned by the sight behind the door.
"... Neville?"
……
A moment later, it was still in the boys' bathroom on the seventh floor of the main castle.
"Professor McGonagall, it's all right! It was Neville who broke the faucet while washing his hands, and the pool happened to be blocked, so the water overflowed all over the ground... Then he was slipped by the water on the ground. In fact, nothing happened except that his head broke a little..."
Marca stood by the sink, explaining the general situation to Professor McGonagall who hurried in.
Neville, who is now as tall as Ma Da, still stands behind Maka with his neck shrunk as many years ago, even though he doesn't understand what happened.
Why did he just slip and suddenly attract so many people to watch?
"So... Did something happen before Mr. Longbottom fell?"
McGonagall was keenly aware of this point, but now there are several students pestling in the corridor outside the bathroom, so Maka can't say it on the spot.
"About this, I think we'd better go to your office!" as he said, he glanced at the back of Neville's head again. "Although I've treated the wound urgently, you'd better go to see Mrs. Pomfrey again and ask Ron, who is still there, to come to the principal's Office."
After that, Maka couldn't help sighing helplessly, and then patted Neville on the back.
"Seriously, we were all frightened by your fall. We'd better be careful next time!"
After leaving the bathroom, Maka followed Professor McGonagall from the other side of the corridor back to the eighth floor, and soon came to the principal's office. Harry, Luna and Hermione, who had just followed Professor McGonagall down, also walked in with them.
"Well, can I take off the branch hat? I think my face is getting wrinkled by orange smelling soapy water..."
"Hey! This hat hasn't complained any more! Don't you like it?"
Maca looked back at Harry, but he saw that his face was just like a water mask, and his face was full of water.
"No, you'd better wear it first!"
At the same time, Marca waved and saw that the water on the branch hat and Harry's head immediately floated up and separated from themselves.
In the next second, the water gathered into a ball will disappear with a vanishing spell.
"Harry, there's one thing I didn't have time to confirm to you just now - how did you get rid of each other's control at that time?"
This question is very important to Maka... Of course, it may be very important to everyone present. As Maka guessed, he might not have to worry about the damn comet in the sky.
On the other hand, Hermione, who had a little understanding of Harry's situation, immediately looked in the direction of the former.
"Get rid of?" Harry was stunned, but then nodded again. "Yes, it seems that it can be described like that..."
"In fact, there are not many things I can clearly remember. Most of the time, I feel myself floating in the dark. I don't know how long later, a bright light suddenly appears in front of me, and then I think of several stories for no reason..."
"Story?"
Hermione obviously had some doubts about Harry's statement, but Marca was different. He didn't seem to be surprised by what Harry said.
"Are there some stories in the golden Griffin from the wilderness?" he asked immediately.
"The book Professor Dumbledore gave you?"
After Maka's reminder, Hermione quickly responded.
Yes, at the beginning, scrimgeor announced a private will of Dumbledore, and with the will, there were several small gifts for Hermione, Harry and Ron.
Harry received a story book about several adventures of Godric Gryffindor.
"Yes, that's the book," Harry nodded. "Because Marca told me to read more, I turned it over and over many times, but I didn't find anything. Unexpectedly, those stories awakened me in the depressing darkness."
At this point, he paused a little, followed by a serious way: "moreover, when those stories were like TV programs in front of me, I felt full of power!"
Maka was listening and suddenly nodded thoughtfully.
"Is that true..."
He thought carefully, and soon looked up at Hermione as if he wanted to say something. But before he could speak, he suddenly waved his back and opened the door of the headmaster's office.
"Ron, you're just in time! Ron and Hermione, you all take with you the things Professor Dumbledore gave you later. I think they may come in handy."
As Marca said, she sighed silently in her heart: Dumbledore and he really took a very different road. For example, he couldn't even figure out the reason for this very predictable approach.
……
On the same day, Marca chatted with Professor McGonagall, Luna and Hermione in the principal's office. He didn't hide anything about the despicable halbo. Let's let several people present know more or less.
In fact, Maka doesn't want too many people to know, but it's impossible to explain what happened today.
However, the so-called wave is not flat, and one wave rises again.
The next morning, Hogwarts Castle welcomed a group of new "guests".
