"Marca has been in the observation room for nearly forty minutes? Is there... Another accident?"

At present, in the underground corridor of the new St. Mungo building, several friends are silently waiting for Maka to come out. Some of them lean against the wall, some sit on the side of the corridor with their knees in their arms... Of course, there are others like Luna who walk alone, cross legged and holding the food basket directly in the middle of the corridor.

But everyone's expression, including Luna, was obviously getting lower and lower with the passage of time. At this time, no one had said anything for about ten minutes.

Until, Hermione, who had been guarding the door from beginning to end, couldn't help whispering to herself.

Because no one in the underground corridor would come at all, everyone was silent one by one at the moment, and her subconscious self-talk was heard by everyone.

"It's all right," Ron couldn't help answering after a little pause. "After all, it's Marca in there - even if there's any accident, there seems to be no more reassuring premise than this?"

"Yes."

Hermione, with a slightly sad face, could not help nodding and showing a smile.

"Yes... Ron, it's rare that you said the most correct thing."

Ron, who was sitting in a corner not far away, waved his hand with some dissatisfaction.

"Hermione, are you praising me?"

"Of course," Hermione shrugged and said solemnly, "there is no more sincere praise."

Before the words fell, she couldn't help laughing. And her smile also attracted the little friends to laugh for a while, which made Ron laugh.

However, when the dull air in the corridor was finally swept away, a series of footsteps suddenly sounded from one end of the corridor, making everyone smile and turn their heads.

That's the direction of the stairs down to the underground corridor. Since footsteps came from there, it means someone came down.

Ron and others who sat on the floor immediately got up, but they didn't meet up, but unconsciously stayed at the door of the two observation rooms.

They still kept in mind Maka's instructions that no one should enter the two rooms except their several caregivers.

But soon, when we saw a familiar figure coming out quickly from the corner, everyone in the corridor couldn't help but relax a little.

"Lupin, what's the matter?"

"Harry, Marca should be here... Huh? Isn't she?"

It's lupin. Yes, it's still a slovenly look. Just looking at the pace he walked this way, it seemed a little strange. It felt so faster than usual.

"Well, Marca is in there!" Harry, who met the front, pointed to the door inside and said in a slightly confused way, "is there anything you want to find him? There may be... Well, it should be said that you'd better not go in!"

"Really?"

When lupin heard this, he couldn't stop. After he looked at the door and thought about it, he finally nodded and said:

"I see... Well, actually it's not a very important thing. After he comes out, remember to mention that I've been here!"

With that said, Lupin wanted to go back and leave, leaving little room for Harry and them to interrupt. But just then, Hermione standing behind frowned and said:

"Wait! Lupin, wait a minute!"

"Oh, is there anything you want to tell me? Is there too many 'idle people' here, so I have to take some to help with my work?"

For Lupin's joking response, everyone except Luna at the end of the scene could not laugh.

Because in Hermione's hurry to stop lupin, almost everyone noticed that things were not as simple as lupin showed!

"Lupin, it's all here. You'd better tell the truth!" Hermione pursed. "What... What can't be told to us?"

"Hermione -"

Lupin looked at Hermione who seemed a little angry. After a little stalemate, he could only shake his head reluctantly.

"In that case, then... I'll tell you straight!"

When a small group of friends heard what lupin said, they all held their breath and focused all their attention on their ears, intending to listen to each other's next words without missing a word.

But after Lupin's slight meal, he was very serious:

"You obviously have seen it. If you deliberately pretend that it's not a big deal, it doesn't seem to make sense... Indeed, an unusual thing happened just now. You need to discuss it with Maka as soon as possible."

"However, just because I don't think I can tell you about it, even if it's just the content, what should be concealed should still be concealed. If Maka feels that she can let you know after she knows it, let's talk about it then!"

Lupin's remarks were indeed "straightforward" - although he didn't know what had happened, he so resolutely refused to disclose the news. No matter what big or small, it must be closely related to Hermione and them.

Yes, just like Sirius took people deep into the extremely dangerous city of London last time... No, maybe it's more serious than that.

However, no matter what it was, Hermione and them didn't seem to know for the time being. Because lupin didn't have any more nonsense after saying these words. He turned and left the same way.

To be honest, with the current strength of Harry and others, it is easy and not difficult to stop lupin. But lupin was their former teacher after all, and lupin must have done it entirely for their good.

This made everyone stand still and watch lupin disappear at the end of the corridor.

After lupin returned, the underground corridor was silent again - the little friends were silent for a long time, and no one knew what to do next.

A moment later, Harry couldn't help turning back, looking beyond the crowd and falling on Hermione.

"This time... Is there any speculation?"

However, Hermione only replied "I'm thinking" and returned to the door of the observation room she had guarded at first. She never opened her mouth compared with her eyes.

It seems that because this incident really came in a hurry and without any warning, she has completely lost her mind.

Therefore, a group of small partners in the corridor had to wait here wordlessly with full doubts.

Only Luna, as if she had no interest in what lupin concealed, still looked at the "devil like desserts" she made in the basket alone, with a faint smile on her face.

However, thanks to the existence of Luna's smile, we didn't completely fall into that heavy depression atmosphere.
