"Sirius, I have made it clear to the elves that you can take them to London for temporary resettlement. If there is any further accident over there, they will become a quite reliable combat force..."

"In addition, the spiders I raise - what you have seen are those alienated eight eyed giant spiders. A large part of them were left in London by me last time... You take Xiao BA with you, and it will help you mobilize some to fight when you need it."

Near the forbidden forest, Maka, who had just returned from the elves' territory, was talking to Sirius about his general plan.

To tell the truth, the moment he realized that the meteorite would fall on Hogwarts, he had guessed that halbo could not miss such a good opportunity.

In order to prevent halbo from making another London raid while he was dealing with the meteorite, Maka thought it would be a good idea for the elves in the forbidden forest to take precautions for him.

With the magical talents of these "wild" elves who have not been enslaved, let his more and more spider partners cooperate, and the strength they can play can not be underestimated.

"Well, unless it's Haier Bo himself, it should be more than enough!"

Sirius nodded, and then he was a little curious:

"Can spiders only mobilize part?"

"Yes... At least until I remove the threat of meteorites and go to London, only a small part can be freely used by you. I have other uses for the rest."

"All right!"

Sirius shrugged, and then watched as Marca gently called a spider the size of a thumb nail from her sleeve and naturally handed it to him.

"What does it like to eat?"

"Hmm? Are you interested in raising some?" Marca smiled. "The eight eyed giant spider's favorite food must be people! Although their blood lineage has changed, they are still eight eyed giant spiders... Well, if you fight with the black wizard under Haier Bo, remember to keep an eye on them. Maybe you can't stand the smell of blood."

"I'll take care of the children."

Hearing what Maka said, Sirius had not answered, but he was robbed by Xiao Ba standing on the back of Maka's hand.

"That's good -"

Maka nodded with satisfaction, and then let Xiao Ba climb onto Sirius. Looking at Sirius, he seemed a little uncomfortable. Makaton waved his hand and said:

"Don't care about its existence. Just take normal action - I don't think it will be stupid enough to be sitting dead by you!"

"I hope so!"

Sirius thought for a moment and found that there seemed to be nothing else to say, so he finally said:

"Then I'll go to London to find a place where I can hide such a large group of elves. When I'm ready to hide, I'll pick them up -"

"Oh, no, no," Marca shook her head immediately. "Did I forget to say that just now? Just take them to San Mungo - the underground storage room is very large!"

"Have you agreed with the dean?"

The question of Sirius stunned Maka a a little, but he soon didn't care much:

"Well, that's not true... But I'm sure he'll agree! That's a kind man!"

As he was talking, he suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the castle as if he felt something. At the next moment, the top of the astronomical tower at the highest point of the castle suddenly burst out a soft glow.

"Oh! Has Hermione and Luna started trial start?"

Before the words fell, I saw that the brilliance rushed up like a bunch of fireworks, and then hung steadily over the castle.

After that, about a few seconds of waiting, a translucent magic shield began to form around the light mass. Look at the speed of the shield. It should soon cover the whole castle.

But at the moment when the magic shield was about 70%, somehow, Maka and Sirius found that the whole shield suddenly vibrated slightly.

Then they saw that the shield layer seemed to be unable to hold, and it crumbled and disappeared from the edge.

Calculating the time, the whole process lasted about a minute from the appearance of the light mass to the complete collapse of the magic shield.

"OK!"

Maka nodded, as if not disappointed with the result that had obviously failed, and even gave a not too bad evaluation.

"Is the combination fault tolerance rate of ancient magic texts so low?" Sirius wondered.

"Yes! After all, the more complex things are, the more afraid they are of making mistakes..." Maka spread her hands. "It's very good that they can run at the first trial start! Hermione and Luna are very attentive."

……

"Oh! Failed - what's wrong?"

At the top of the astronomical tower, Ron looked up at the position of the dissipated light mass. It was obviously a pity. At his feet, the brilliance on the core Rune board of the array carved by Maka is also fading little by little.

Hermione and Luna didn't answer Ron's question because they were squatting over the drawing to discuss the gains and losses of the trial start.

Ginny, who was standing at the edge of the observatory watching the scenery, suddenly said:

"Isn't it normal to fail? If you can succeed at one time, it's too easy -"

"But... It's not easy at all?" Ron said bitterly. "In order to order slate, our pocket money has been spent in Muggle pounds!"

When Ginny heard this, she just glanced at him.

"Money fan!"

"Stop chatting there, come on, we have to move some stone slabs in the back..." cold, Hermione suddenly turned around and said, "there are five stone slabs, all of which have to adjust the angle. Moreover, we need to check all the stone slabs to see if they are damaged."

"Is it all?" Ron blinked and sighed. "Merlin is on the... Aren't we going to run all over the school?"

Hermione immediately said:

"This is only the first time - after that, we need to check the slate every time we start, okay? Remember what I said, don't let me remind you again next time... The fog in London is very suspicious, and we must finish the map as soon as possible without further delay."

"Oh! Of course, I'll remember!"

Ron nodded honestly and immediately ran to the stairs in the middle of the observatory.

"Where are you going!" Hermione shouted quickly. "Don't you hear what I just said? Adjust the slate first, and then check it! I haven't said which slate it is!"

Just as Ron stopped awkwardly, Luna next to Hermione suddenly said:

"Hermione, you take Ron to the East! Ginny and I get to the West - anyway, the numbers have been determined, and it will be faster to do it separately!"

"Well, that's it!"

With that, Hermione rolled up the drawings on the ground and went to Ron in a hurry.

"Hermione looks a little worried," Ginny whispered, looking at Hermione's back and her brother Ron, who seems to be being scolded again. "Is she... Going to rush to London immediately after the array is completed?"

Luna saw Ginny's face look worried, and then she showed a clean smile.

"Yes! It must be so."

"But... Didn't Maka say that she wouldn't let us go?"

Although she can understand Hermione's mood, after all, her home is in the suburbs of London. But Maka said that. She still insisted on going. Will it affect Maka's preparation?

And to be honest, if Marca is careful, she will not forget Hermione's family. Presumably, he will also ensure the safety of the Grangers.

However, Luna seems to know what Hermione thinks. As she walked up the stairs with Ginny, she said softly in her usual clear voice:

"Because... That's Hermione!"

Perhaps only Luna, who is good at casual insight into people's hearts, will understand that Hermione wants to go to London, although she is worried about her family, but she wants to do more for people.

Whether it's innocent Muggle citizens, terrified ordinary wizards, or even Auror and batters who are busy dealing with abnormalities, Hermione probably wants to give her help as much as she can.

In fact, birds of a feather flock together! Most of their little friends also have similar ideas, but more or less, they are not as sensitive and eager to such issues as Hermione.

"Then you'd better persuade her!"

Just as Luna and Ginny had just come down from the astronomical tower and were about to run west around the castle, Maka's voice suddenly sounded behind them.

"Eh?" Luna suddenly stopped, turned back and said in surprise, "Marca, how did you come behind us? I didn't seem to feel it at all?"

"Because I came here secretly, just like listening to what you're saying..." Maka smiled. "Since I came here secretly, how can you find it?"

After saying that, he deliberately repeated:

"Remember to persuade her not to think about going to London... Maybe you can go to the humble house for a while after you've finished all the things here! I'll let Hermione's father and mother go to your house to disturb you!"

He obviously said this last sentence to Ginny.

Obviously, the Weasley family is a good place. The Weasleys are more hospitable one by one, and both like children very much.

To tell the truth, even Maka herself wants to stay at their house for some time.

But soon, after a little thought, he shook his head.

"... forget it, I'd better go and talk to her myself!"
