Chapter 1144

"In this interview, we can not only see Maka's evaluation of ancient magic and ancient wizards... What he wants to convey to the public is obviously his confidence that he will not give in to Haier Bo!"

To be honest, it's really rare for Ron to express his views so seriously. What's more surprising is that he made a lot of sense this time.

Across the table, Hermione raised her eyebrows at him in surprise.

"Unexpectedly, you can talk through your head!"

"Why am I just talking in my head?"

Ron immediately argued bitterly about Hermione's joking praise, but then he could only sigh:

"Well, I admit, I would say so mainly because I have confidence in Maka."

Hearing the speech, Hermione nodded immediately and said with a smile:

"Just now I thought you suddenly opened your mind! I can analyze Maka's intention from this interview report, but I can understand it after you say so!"

It was normal for them to joke with each other. When Hermione made fun of Ron, Neville and others sitting nearby immediately became happy and laughed at Ron's face.

However, everyone, including Ron himself, knows that Hermione is actually praising Ron's words in a disguised form.

Of course, it's OK for everyone to talk about the interview about Haier Bo in the prophet daily. After all, even Maka didn't mention too clear content in it.

So soon, their topic naturally returned to the upcoming "Hogwarts study tour program".

It can be seen from the heated discussion atmosphere that everyone is very interested in this activity.

However, after a burst of excited discussion, Hermione, who has always been sensitive to the changes of people's looks, found that one of them seemed to be much less interested suddenly.

"Neville?" she asked immediately after noticing this. "What's the matter?"

Facing Hermione's inquiry, Neville quickly shook his head.

"Oh, nothing... Really!"

"Really?" Hermione said hesitantly. "Neville, if you have anything to say! Aren't we friends? Friends don't need to have too many scruples!"

After hearing Hermione's friend say something, Neville hesitated for a long time and had to nod his head honestly.

"Well..." he said with a pursed mouth, "I may... Not be able to participate in this activity with everyone. You know, my parents and grandma -"

Is it the parent's signature?

No, it's obviously not such an easy reason to solve - Hermione thought about it a little and said:

"You don't trust your family, so you want to take the opportunity of study tours to accompany them in San Mungo?"

"Well," Neville nodded again, "I'm sorry... It's rare to have days that can make everyone happy at this time, but I..."

"Neville, I'll stay too!"

Before he finished, his words were suddenly interrupted by Hannah sitting next to him.

"No, you don't have to --"

"Neville!"

Hermione spoke again, making Neville still unable to finish his words.

"It's nothing to be sorry about. We can all understand your idea of staying with your family... Ron and Ginny, don't you think so!"

"That's right!"

Ron immediately followed Hermione's words.

"And," he said seriously, "Neville, shouldn't you say 'I'm sorry' - do you think we're unreasonable people?"

Although Neville seems to have changed over the years, he seems to be much more reliable than in the past. But in front of these friends, he is still the Frank boy who is quite introverted.

When Ron asked himself, he shook his head in a hurry.

"No, of course you are not!"

"That's it!" Ron patted him on the shoulder and laughed. "As Hermione just said, aren't we friends? As long as you still treat us as friends, don't have so many scruples!"

Just then Ginny, who had been sitting next to Hermione, suddenly stretched out her hand and took Hermione's arm.

"Well... Why don't I go too?" she whispered. "You see... Harry, he's still on request. He hasn't come out of the room. We don't know how he is... If he comes out of it during his study tour, someone must stay outside to meet him."

Ginny's words immediately quieted several little friends around her.

"Yes."

After a moment of silence, Hermione finally nodded:

"Actually, I was thinking about it just now... Yes! Someone must stay."

It is obvious that the scene of everyone discussing the study tour just now will not be false, because they are undoubtedly imagining the scene of everyone laughing together.

But in the final analysis, all kinds of concerns seem to make them only fantasy after all, and once those colorful soap bubbles are punctured one by one, the rest seems to be only reality.

"Besides... We wouldn't be really happy without Harry!"

Although she didn't fully understand what she said, Hermione was already very clear. See Ron with a regretful face, and then he said with extra firmness:

"Then let's all stay! After graduation, we can take advantage of the time before work to take a trip - with Harry!"

……

As for the changes at the Gryffindor table, Maka, sitting at the teaching desk, naturally has a panoramic view.

While perceiving that Hermione and others are becoming less and less interested, although he can't think of Neville's decision at once, the thoughts of Hermione and Ginny are obviously not difficult to guess.

"Although I can understand your concern about Harry... Unfortunately, Harry in the room will not say it for the time being. At least there must be no one in Hogwarts Castle except that."

With a slight shake of her head, Maka hurriedly stuffed the food in her plate into her stomach. He finally got up and walked straight to Hermione after he lifted his neck and drank up the juice.

"Are you finished? If you're finished, come out with me!" Marca said behind Hermione. Suddenly, she turned back and waved to Ravenclaw's long table. "Just in case, Luna, come here!"

After another greeting, he didn't stay in place. He turned and left first towards the side door. After all, Hermione knew about the meteorite falling, but he didn't want to be heard by other students.

Looking at Maka's back as she walked out of the door, Hermione and others looked at each other for a few times, and they couldn't help wondering - they wouldn't think that Maka could guess their conversation by just looking at it from a distance.

"What could it be?" Ron said strangely.

Hermione thought and looked at Luna again. Then she whispered:

"Maybe it's' that thing '... You know, last time Maka gave me a task and asked me to work with Luna to arrange the magic text matrix."

"Oh, that's why it's called Luna together?" Ron tilted his head and still wondered, "but what do we call the past? Only you and Luna understand the ancient magic text, and we're just coolies?"

"Who knows?"

Hermione shook her head somewhat puzzled. Seeing that Luna had come here with two pieces of toast coated with jam in both hands, she no longer thought much. She put away the Daily Prophet at hand and got up to meet each other.

"Luna, it's not impossible to take it, but don't wipe the jam? Be careful not to rub it on others!"

"But... I like today's blueberry sauce."

Luna opened her mouth and took a big bite on the toast in her left hand, showing a happy and satisfied expression.

"You know, blueberry sauce is not available every day!"

"All right! Don't talk while eating. You can't hear -"

Hermione sighed helplessly. Then she asked her to speed up and keep up with Ron and others who were already walking towards the side door.

Maka didn't go far. There was no one outside the auditorium before everyone had finished breakfast. When the crowd came out of the side door, they turned around and saw his figure standing on the other side of the bulletin board.

"Maka," Hermione whispered, "do you want to ask about the magic text array? Luna and I are already trying to carve stone tablets - after discussion, we think it would be more efficient to decorate them with stone tablets."

"Then Neville and I are helping them with slate. It's very simple and rough work," Ron shrugged. "I have to say that this job is very suitable for me... It makes me think I have the talent to make slate!"

"This is really a very special talent," said Marca, unable to laugh or cry. "Well, although it's not the main thing to call you out, I think you've done a good job... It's good to decorate with slate, and even put away the undamaged ones for standby in the future."

As he was saying this, he suddenly turned and said:

"But what I want to say is actually about the study tour plan - if I'm right, you're going to stop participating in the activity, aren't you?"

"How do you know?" Ron said in surprise.

"Look at you just now. Is there any possibility other than worrying about Harry?" asked Marca. "What's more, Harry is also my friend. Would you think that I couldn't think of it?"

At this point, he paused a little, and then said in a deep voice:

"But I have to tell you that Hogwarts Castle needs to be closed during the event, whether you participate in the study tour or not. As for the reason... Hermione, don't I say more?"
