"... so where did Maka go?"

In the hall of St. Mungo, Ron was looking at Ginny in front of him with a puzzled face. Although he had just heard Ginny's explanation, he still didn't seem to understand it completely.

But it didn't matter, because Ron soon nodded again.

"Well! In fact, it's normal for Maka to sneak away... Before, we often couldn't find where he was?" he gently waved his hands. "It doesn't matter, because he will reappear in front of us on time at the most critical time."

As for Hermione's analysis of Maka's departure and the "trap", Ginny naturally didn't mention it to others. According to Hermione's idea, in fact, this matter can be let go.

Otherwise, if Haier Bo sees the flaw, he may not be able to be "fooled".

Unfortunately, Hermione didn't completely guess Maka's plan this time - at present, the guy is really far away in France. What he wants is to make Haier "not fooled".

"Oh, no, um... I heard from Marca that he's going a little far this time. He may not come back in a while."

According to Hermione's idea, Ginny deliberately added something that Maka didn't say at all, trying to create a feeling that "in case of an emergency, Maka may not be able to return in time".

The so-called "the speaker is intentional and the listener is unintentional". In this way, if Haier Bo does lurk in St. mangori, he will feel that this is undoubtedly a "good opportunity to do something".

At least Ginny thinks so.

"Really?" Ron exchanged eyes with Harry, who was sorting out the books. He said immediately, "should we make some preparations? You see, although St. mangori is very safe, it may not always be safe... Now that Marca is not here, we have to protect the patients here instead of him!"

"Ah? Uh... Yeah!"

Ginny was still thinking about halber, and she almost couldn't react at once. Instead, Harry nodded cheerfully and echoed:

"Ron, you're right - thanks to Hermione, we have the ability to protect everyone now. Since Marca has something to do temporarily, of course we are duty bound!"

"OK," Ron immediately clenched his fist at Harry. "After we deliver the medicine to the patients in the name book, we'll go to the sixth floor to practice... Have you sorted out the name book?"

"All right, let's go..."

Ginny was stunned as Ron lifted the basket containing the potion bottle and walked to the other end of the hall with Harry with the book.

She wanted to continue to "inadvertently" mention some news about Maka's departure! I didn't know that the two brothers said a word to me. They said it with awe inspiring righteousness. She didn't even find a gap to interrupt.

"Ginny, come quickly! There are three female patients who need to change their dressing later. We two men can't do that!"

Hearing Harry calling herself, Ginny had to put aside her thoughts for the time being and hurried in the direction of the two.

"Coming!"

……

At about the same time, Hermione was in the ward on the fifth floor, talking quietly with Sirius and Kingsley.

"Anyway, if Ginny remembered correctly, Marca really left with only a few words. Although I'm not sure, Marca thought -"

"Cough."

Kingsley's cough interrupted Hermione's narration.

"Maka, he is very busy. I think this sudden departure shows this," he said in a deep voice. "I believe he will come back soon, and before that, everyone should be careful! As for his departure..."

"Just do as Maka says," said Sirius, sitting at the end of the bed. "Don't take the initiative to say it if others don't ask."

"Well, that's good," Kingsley agreed.

Hermione saw that both of them seemed to understand the deep meaning similar to her from Maka's words, and couldn't help nodding.

With the recognition of the two, Hermione immediately felt a little relaxed. She paused and said "see you later" to Kingsley and Sirius, then turned and walked to the door.

"Good morning, Hermione!"

"Oh, good morning... Neville, are you awake?"

As she passed old lady Longbottom's hospital bed, a good morning made Hermione stop again. When he came in just now, Neville was still dozing off on the edge of grandma's bed. Unexpectedly, Neville woke up after just chatting with Kingsley.

"Well, I just woke up."

After Maka's comments last time and the precipitation after that, he looked more firm and confident than Gryffindor, and even his expression became more energetic than before.

As a child, Neville was short and fat, and often gave people a feeling of timidity. However, in recent years of development, his physique has unconsciously surpassed that of most of his classmates.

Perhaps it was only because the fear in his bones was still there that even his tall body could not change his impression in people's minds.

But now, when he finally grasped the courage that only belonged to him under the promotion of his grandmother, it seems that everything has become different.

"I seem to have heard you talk about Maka just now. What's wrong with him? Has something big happened?"

If we put it in the past, Neville must have said so many words intermittently, and how can he ask three questions in a row?

Hermione felt very fresh about this.

"No, it's no big deal."

She first answered Neville's questions casually, but then looked at each other carefully.

"Seriously, Neville... You've changed so much from before."

"Well... In fact, I don't think it's that big." Neville subconsciously glanced at his grandmother on the hospital bed. "Moreover, even if the change is really great, everyone seems to think I'm stronger now - even Maka praised me! I would never believe it before..."

As he spoke, he suddenly raised his hand and rubbed his face, and then said in a deep voice:

"But if all these compliments can only be exchanged for grandma's serious injury and so many injuries and even death... I'd rather not have these damn changes!"

This is undoubtedly the first time Neville has used the rude word "damn" since he was born. It is conceivable how much his mood has changed after this upheaval.

Hermione even found that Neville's hand trembled suddenly and gently when he said this.

"Hermione, do you know?" he pressed his trembling right hand with his left hand and whispered, "later, when Sirius took me out to save people everywhere, although I did save many innocent Muggle residents... But I also missed many opportunities to save more people!"

"When I watched them take their lives by those monsters, I felt... I felt the whole world was gray."

"Only then did I know that the so-called 'courage' can actually appear at the same time as' fear '. I was really afraid at that time... No, I'm probably still afraid now!"

With these words, Neville fell into a moment of silence.

Hermione standing in front of him didn't know what to say for a moment - in fact, she could understand Neville's feelings. After all, who would really be afraid of the disaster at that time?

Before long, Neville finally said:

"So, I don't think I've changed much... I'm still the timid Neville Longbottom. Therefore, I've been looking forward to grandma waking up early. Only she can tell me... Do I really deserve to be Mom and dad's son now."

In fact, these words have been held in Neville's heart for several days. Maybe if it hadn't been for Maka's wake-up last time, he still couldn't say it?

As for Hermione, as Neville's good friend, she just happened to run into the time when the other party wanted to talk.

"Don't worry! Your grandmother will wake up," Hermione comforted. "Maka said there was hope... What's more, we can think of a way ourselves! You're good at herbal medicine. Why don't you think about whether there are herbs that can help."

"In a word, we can't just be idle and find something for ourselves -"

"Bang!"

She was trying to cheer navidor up, but before she finished, she heard the door behind her suddenly opened.

"Sirius? Oh! You're here -"

Hermione heard the sound. She didn't even have to look back. Harry suddenly ran up. I'm afraid it took him a lot of energy to climb the stairs.

"Sirius, your spell level is high. Go down and see if you can find a way..."

Probably seeing Harry talking anxiously, Sirius, who was sitting on Kingsley's side, got up and walked to the door without saying a word, and soon rushed downstairs with Harry.

That is because St. mangori is too chaotic. It would be much faster if we could use phantom to move the shape!

With a little hesitation, Hermione also heard Harry explain the following situation to Sirius as he went downstairs.

Although she only listened to the beginning, and then she was too far away to hear clearly, Hermione still captured a series of dangerous words such as "out of control", "explosion", "injury" and so on.

What the hell happened? Could it be said that... Haier Bo couldn't help appearing so soon?

Just as Hermione was thinking about it, her movement was not slow. She ran out while thinking. When Neville saw this, he hesitated and looked at his grandmother on the hospital bed. Then he gritted his teeth and ran out of the door.

Kingsley looked at the door and covered his shoulder with a helpless expression.
