Chapter 1172

"... read the letter yourself! I want..." just halfway through, Hermione suddenly paused a little, "HMM... no, it's up to you and Ginny to tell Marca about it!"

"What's up?"

As Ron spoke, he took the letter paper handed by Hermione into his hand. But to tell the truth, just seeing Ginny's worried expression, he immediately had a bad feeling.

——————

To Ron and Ginny:

I think you must be together. After all, you are still in school. Now, I have to tell you a very bad thing:

Fred and George went to Diagon lane before the fog appeared. They said they wanted to talk about cooperation with the manager of the jumping and frolicking magic joke shop. Ashley and Mary went with them.

But they didn't come back all night.

My father went to them at night, and my mother didn't sleep all night and always wanted to go out, but my father said before going out that she was not allowed to leave the burrow

To tell you the truth, I didn't sleep last night... Okay! It doesn't matter how my business is all right.

Just this morning, after my father continued to go out to find someone, my mother really couldn't wait at home, so she went out after telling me to stay at home.

……

——————

These contents were almost swept away in Ron's eyes, but every time he saw a word, his face became worse.

Obviously, the content of this letter is really terrible!

After seeing his mother Mrs. Weasley go out to find someone, Ron couldn't help taking a deep breath before he hardened his head and continued to look down:

——————

……

Ron, Ginny, I know - I've been in bed too long to find someone in London. Not to mention that my magic is very bad now. I haven't even fully recovered my physical strength. It's really not suitable to go out.

But, you know what? I'm the only one left in the family now.

And I... can't do anything.

So I wrote to both you and McClane - yes, I sent him another letter to avoid McClane being outside. And this is probably the only thing I can do well

So now, I'm going out too... If I stay at home again, I'll be unbearable sooner or later!

From your stupid brother,

Percy

——————

"Oh! Where's Ginny?"

It didn't take long to read the letter, but when Ron looked up, he found that his sister Ginny was no longer with him.

"She can't wait to go to the Deputy Fort first," said Hermione. "Have you finished reading the letter? Go after reading it!"

"Ah!"

Ron paused a little and then ran.

"OK! Let's go -"

It must be said that Ron can understand Percy's feeling that he can't wait at home.

Because of the feeling that he can't do anything when he knows that everyone is in a hurry, he has been experiencing it repeatedly over the years.

So, as the youngest child in the family, Ginny should also be constantly feeling this seemingly powerless?

Soon, when Ron, Hermione and Luna ran down the astronomy tower and rushed all the way to the corridor in front of Marca's room, they found Ginny waiting anxiously in front of the door.

"Here you are --"

As soon as she saw Ron and others, Ginny hurriedly said:

"Marca, he's not in the room!"

"No?" said Ron, covering his head. "Oh... Where will he be now? Does it mean... He went straight to London after receiving the letter?"

"No, he didn't," Luna said suddenly. "Even if it's urgent, Marca will tell us before leaving... Don't you think so, Hermione?"

"Oh... Well," Hermione nodded. "Yes, that's right, that's it!"

"Where has he gone?" Ginny said in distress. "Is it the place where he goes back regularly but never tells us exactly?"

In fact, we all remember that Maka often left the castle alone and went to a place that only he seemed to know. As soon as Ginny found out that Marca was not in the room, she immediately remembered it.

Hermione frowned at Ginny's mention.

"It's very possible..." she said. "If so, he usually goes for half a day... I don't know if the owl can find the place he goes."

As she spoke, Hermione suddenly stopped, as if she were making a choice. But soon she nodded slightly and then turned to say:

"Pay attention! I have something to say -"

"You want to ask, shall we go to London by ourselves?" Ron said Hermione's words before he said decisively. "Of course! Parents don't mention them first, at least we have to find Percy as soon as possible... I can understand his mood, but it's too dangerous for him to go to London alone!"

Although they do not know the current situation in London, the suspicious fog alone is enough to remind people of many bad things.

In addition, the last disaster in London is still like yesterday, which really makes people uneasy.

"Yes!" Ginny on one side followed. "Ron is right. We should go to Percy first!"

"Well, that's it."

Hermione saw that they all knew what they wanted to say, so she didn't have to explain any more.

But at the moment when she wanted to greet everyone to run back, Luna, who was standing not far away, suddenly took back her right foot.

"Luna..." she asked with a slight hesitation, "are you... Going to go with us or stay here with Maka..."

In the impression of their partners, Luna is usually more inclined to follow Maka's footsteps. It can even be said that when she encounters some options, she often subconsciously makes choices from the perspective of Maka.

Especially in recent years, with the unconscious increase of her feelings for Maka, her trend has become more and more obvious.

So at this moment, Hermione could not help feeling that Luna might not go to London with them... Well, no, in fact, she was not sure what Luna's choice would be, but she could not help but guess so.

But this time, Hermione guessed wrong.

"Of course I'll go too!"

Almost as soon as Hermione finished asking, Luna nodded decisively before her voice was on the ground. And then she added as if:

"Don't worry! If Maka knows, she will promise to let us go!"

Luna will still consider Maka's idea. But... Will Marca promise?

To be honest, Hermione really didn't know - she always felt that Marca didn't usually put them in danger; But at the same time, Maka occasionally respects their choices for some reasons.

Hermione couldn't tell the difference between the two reactions on what basis... Maybe only people who rely on intuition like Luna can vaguely understand Maka's real thoughts?

Of course, this is not the time to think about these things.

Hermione didn't think about it any more. Seeing that Luna also said she would go to London together, she immediately grabbed the letter paper from Ron's hand, took out a pen from her carry on bag and wrote a message to Marca.

"All right!"

After a few strokes, Hermione stuffed the letter paper directly into the crack of the door, put away the pen, turned and left.

"Let's go! It's reasonable that Percy can't use the phantom shift spell now, so it's likely that she went directly from the fireplace to Diagon Alley... Oh, I suddenly found that we don't even know if there's fog in Diagon Alley?"

"Just go and see!"

This is the last thing Ron said before leaving Hogwarts.

……

Hermione, they left without Maka knowing.

But in fact, just when they didn't find Maka in the vice castle and decided to go to London by themselves, Maka didn't leave school at all.

Yes, he didn't even go to the cave in the forbidden forest, but stayed in the castle all the time.

"The magic wave... Yes, it came from inside. It looks like it's coming soon..."

When Hermione and others hurried out of the school gate and the phantom moved away, Maka was still by a familiar wall above the castle, feeling the hidden magic.

This fluctuation is quite subtle. If Maka's ability to sense magic had not reached a high level, maybe even he could not have noticed it.

Therefore, even now Luna has gained the ability to perceive magic, but she still can't feel the subtle magic anomaly in the castle after all.

Yes, if she could feel it, she might think of where Maka went.

After a while, makawu nodded his head and turned back. While walking, he thought in his heart:

"At the moment, Hermione and some of them should still be debugging the array in the astronomy tower? Hey, I'll go there now and tell them the good news. It's estimated that it can make them jump up with excitement!"

While thinking about this, Maka can't help but slightly speed up her pace and trot all the way to the astronomical tower.

However, as soon as he climbed to the observation platform at the top of the tower, he found that there was no one here. Only the magic stone plates arranged in order on the ground have some magic residue after operation, which has not been completely dispersed.

"Haven't you run it successfully once before?" Marca frowned and wondered, "since it has been successful, the peripheral slate arrangement doesn't need to move... Where have they gone?"

After a little thought, he went to the edge of the platform and looked down. He didn't see half a figure either.

"Is it difficult to go to the kitchen to celebrate the completion?"
