"Why is Luna sleeping again?"

While the thought flashed through Hermione's mind, Maca, who was sitting in the faculty chair and stuffing French fries into her mouth, was just as curious.

Luna's daily schedule is still very regular, don't look at her always in a trance, but she unexpectedly pays attention to life planning.

Just like when Maca stayed at Lovegood's house, Luna called him in the morning.

"When I think back then, my nose is a little tickle......" Maca smiled wryly and put down her fork and reached out to rub the wing of her nose.

At this moment, he knocked lightly on the door of his head again, and secretly reminded himself:

"Well, be careful not to overprotect...... Don't overprotect ......"

After the night in the library, Maca has changed a little bit about many people and many things...... When Dumbledore treated him back then, he kept a certain distance as much as possible, which would be of great help to promote people's growth.

And now, it's time to do it instead of Maca herself.

Putting the last piece of french fries on her plate directly into her mouth, Maca stood up, greeted the other professors, and walked straight to the entrance of the auditorium.

When he returned to the office, he usually took the porch doorway, and he either wanted to go for a walk in the vestibule or leave Hogwarts again.

"Maca?"

As he passed by the Gryffindor table, Hermione suddenly stopped him.

"Oh, what's wrong?" Maca paused and turned her head to look over, "Today's fish and chips are very Muggle-specific, and the amount of salt is just right - but don't eat too much, this thing is easy to make people fat, I don't think Madam Pomfrey will help you lose weight!" ”

"It's ......nothing," Hermione said, pursing her lips, "I mean...... Maca, when are you free? I want to show you something. ”

"Well......" Maca thought for a moment, "it may not work today, or tomorrow...... May I? ”

"Of course," Hermione said suddenly, "of course, then tomorrow at noon, we're—"

As she spoke, she held out her finger and pointed upward.

"Waiting for you in the 'old place'."

As soon as Maca heard it, she knew that she was talking about the Requirement Room, because it was Maca herself who told her that.

"Okay, no problem."

After nodding at Hermione, Maca chatted casually with Harry and the others, and finally glanced at Luna, who was still dozing off, before turning to leave.

"Hermione, you're going to show Maca that experiment this morning?" Looking at the slowly closing door of the Great Hall, Harry asked subconsciously.

"I don't think that's a good idea," Ron said softly, "Hermione, don't you think you should wait until your research is more mature before ......"

"Of course I wasn't going to show just Maca the morning one! Didn't I say that? That's not even the first step......" Hermione said with a slumping face.

"Oh, is there anything cooler?" Harry nodded immediately, "That's fine!" ”

"yes, and of course there's the 'cooler' ......," Hermione said, suddenly hanging her head and sighing, "but it also takes a lot of experimentation and tweaking to have a chance of success." ”

Speaking of this, she finally waved her hand and said, "Okay! Ron was right, it's not a good idea...... It's me who is too impulsive. ”

Hermione wanted Maca's approval, and Harry and Ron knew about it. But that's why the two of them ......

"Don't worry! That one this morning is already amazing, and Maca will be happy for you when she sees it! ”

They couldn't say anything like that, for they both knew very well that Hermione herself was not happy, even though it might be like that.

"Hermione, Harry," the three were silent for a moment, and then Ron suddenly spoke, "Afternoon...... Let's skip class......"

……

While Hermione and the other three lion cubs were discussing something that wasn't too good, Maca had already gone straight from outside the school gate to the door of Black's old house.

Because he knew that at this time, there were already people waiting for him here.

"Oh, are you eating here?"

Entering the old mansion through the foyer, he went straight to the door of the reception room, but Maca found that there was no one inside. Normally, at least Lupin didn't leave the place much, so he guessed at once that everyone must be going to the kitchen.

Sure enough, as soon as she pushed open the door at the end of the hallway, Maca saw that she was eating lunch lively. The children he and Sarah had rescued were all here, and they seemed to be even more comfortable and relaxed than before.

"Maka, you're here?"

As soon as Lupin saw his face, he immediately greeted him, and Sirius, who was sitting near the door, reached out and touched Maca's arm with a friendly touch.

It is worth mentioning that when the children turned their heads when they heard the sound, a mess of names "splashed" at Maca. Maca, McKellen, brother, sir...... There are all kinds of names, but Maca can only stand there and laugh happily.

Truth be told, he doesn't really have the ability to handle a child—except, of course, like Lennie, the little wolf girl.

But the kids are finally getting cheerful, and that's a good thing anyway.

"Mr. McLean, would you like to sit down for a bite to eat?" Only Lena remained the same, and as soon as she spotted Maca, she immediately got up from her seat, "I'll go get some more for you." ”

"No, no—" Maka busily said, "I've already eaten it at school." ”

"Then I'm going to make a cup of Godigan tea......"

Lena nodded calmly, and was about to turn to the teapot when Maca stopped her again.

"Drink it when I get back! Sit down and eat well......" he said, beckoning back to the wall inside, "Mundungus, don't eat and drink there, come out!" ”

With that, Maca waved at everyone and asked them to continue eating. He himself, on the other hand, quickly turned around and walked in the direction of the reception room.

Mundungus did not dare to slack off, and after leaving the kitchen, he hurried after him.

"I want to ask what you know," Marka asked, standing in the doorway, without sitting down in the reception room, "is there any situation?" ”

Mundungus had just stood still in front of Maca, and after listening to Maca's words, he quickly nodded.

"As you said last time, don't let us follow ourselves—" he whispered, "So, the news after that has been from someone else's hands...... You know, it's not necessarily going to be accurate. ”

"Of course," said Maca, "I will verify for myself whether it is accurate or not." ”

"All right," continued Mundungus, "I heard from an old fellow that after leaving the London Black Market, it seems to have returned to the south-east—just yesterday. ”

"Canterbury's 'Study Harbour Street'? Where the wizards gathered......" Maca replied, then pondered, "what did they do back there?" If nothing had happened, the news wouldn't have been in your hands so soon. ”

"Oh, I think so......," Mundungus said, spreading his hands, "but it's a little strange - they've robbed a man at the door of a wizard's house, a male wizard named Smith, the deputy commissioner of the schoolport post office. ”

"Really?" Maca raised an eyebrow and whispered to herself, "Got an owl to take away?" Is it related to any letters? ”

After thinking about it for a while, Maca looked at Montungus in front of her again.

"After this, is there any updated information?"

"Probably yes," said Mundungus, but confessed, "but most of the information is still on the way...... Maybe you'll find out more in the evening. ”

"Then don't wait," Maca looked up at the clock in the conference room, "Is that your 'old buddy' over there?" Or did he get the news from someone else? ”

"Hehe," Mundungus laughed lewdly, "my old fellow, like me, is not very bold—of course, if you want to find the source of the information, you will find it quickly." ”

"Then you can come with me!" Maca beckoned and took the lead in the foyer, "When you find that group, you can come back first, and I'll do the rest." ”

"Oh, it's great to be able to do things with you!" Mundungus grinned and followed, casually saying, "At least there won't be any danger." ”

……

Moments later, Canterbury City, School Harbour Street.

"This is my old fellow, if you have any questions, just ask him!"

In the depths of a haphazard stall made of sackcloth and bamboo poles, Maca met an old man who was even scruffier than Mundungus.

When Maca noticed him, he was still muttering to the others, the kind that seemed to be unable to stop for a while.

So Maca simply flicked a gold Galleon over and told him to quickly shut his mouth and come over.

"Hey, Donge!" The old man played with the gold gallon in his hand and said in a sneering manner, "Although we have known each other for a long time, since you have brought someone, this is a deal!" If you want to ask questions, one gold gallon is not enough! ”

"Come on!" Mundungus immediately pushed the old man, "Say what to say, it's the recent incident, I took our leader to 'pick up' in person." ”

"Boss?" When the old man heard this, he couldn't help but look at Maca again, "I've heard you blow into the sky every time, and this time I finally saw a real person...... Okay, okay, okay! Follow me......"

A guy like him, who has been trading intelligence all his life, is obviously very curious about Maka's identity. It's a pity that Maca had already made a disguise before she came, and he couldn't see anything after all.
