Chapter 949 Unreasonable Commotion

"...So, where did Maca go?"

In St. Mungo's Hall, Ron was looking at Ginny in front of him with a puzzled face. Although he had only heard Ginny's explanation just now, he still didn't seem to fully understand it.

That's all right though, because Ron quickly nodded to himself again.

"Okay! In fact, it's normal for Maca to leave secretly... Didn't we often find him in the past?" He gently waved his hands and said, "It's okay, because every time it's the most critical time, He will reappear in front of us on time."

Regarding Hermione's analysis of Maca's departure, as well as the "trap", Ginny naturally did not mention it to anyone else. According to Hermione's point of view, in fact, this matter can go with the flow.

Otherwise, if Na Haierbo sees the flaw, it may not be able to "fool him".

Unfortunately, Hermione didn't fully guess Maca's plan this time - the guy is indeed far away in France right now, and what he wants is to make Hai Erbo "not be fooled".

"Oh no, um... I heard from Maca that the place he's going this time seems to be a little far away, and he might not be able to come back in a while."

According to Hermione's train of thought, Ginny deliberately added something that Maca didn't say at all, trying to create a feeling that "in case of an emergency, Maca may not be able to return in time".

The so-called "the speaker intends to listen, but the listener has no intention", in this way, if Haierbo is indeed lurking in St. Mungory, then he will definitely feel that this is undoubtedly a "good opportunity to do something".

At least that's what Ginny thought.

"Really?" Ron exchanged glances with Harry who was sorting out the roster, and he said immediately, "Then should we make some preparations? You see, although this Saint Mungory is safe, it may not be Can be safe forever... Now that Maca is not here, then we have to protect the wounded here instead of him!"

"Huh? Uh... yeah!"

Ginny was still thinking about Hai Erbo's matter, so she almost couldn't react at once. On the contrary, Harry nodded readily and agreed:

"Ron, you're right—thanks to Hermione, we are now able to protect everyone. Since Maca has something to do, of course we are bound to do so!"

"Okay," Ron immediately clenched his fists at Harry, "after we deliver the medicines to the patients on the list, we'll go to practice on the sixth floor...Have you finished your list?"

"Okay, okay, let's go..."

Seeing Ron pick up the basket containing the potion bottles and walk to the other side of the hall with Harry carrying the name book, Ginny couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

She originally wanted to continue to "inadvertently" mention some news about Maca's departure! Unexpectedly, this pair of buddies talked to each other, and they said it very righteously, she didn't even find a gap to interject.

"Ginny, come quickly! There are three female patients who need to change their dressings in a while, and we two men can't do that job!"

Hearing Harry calling herself, Ginny had to temporarily put aside the thoughts in her heart, and hurriedly walked in the direction of the two.

"coming!"

...

At about the same time, Hermione was quietly talking with Sirius and Kingsley in the ward on the fifth floor.

"Anyway, if Ginny remembers correctly, Maca did leave after leaving only a few words. Although I'm not sure yet, Maca thinks—"

"Cough cough."

Kingsley coughed, interrupting Hermione's narration.

"Maka is very busy, and I think this kind of sudden departure also shows this point," he said in a deep voice, "I believe that he will come back soon, and before that, everyone should be careful Let's go! As for his leaving..."

"Just do as Maca said," said Sirius who was sitting at the end of the bed, "Don't take the initiative to say it until someone else asks."

"Well, that's good." Kingsley agreed.

Hermione saw that both of them seemed to understand the similar deep meaning from Maca's words, so she couldn't help but also nodded.

With the approval of these two, Hermione immediately felt a little more relaxed. She paused, and then said "see you later" to Kingsley and Sirius, then turned and walked towards the door.

"Good morning, Hermione!"

"Oh, good morning... Neville, are you awake?"

When passing old Mrs. Longbottom's hospital bed, a good morning made Hermione stop again. Just now when Neville came in, he was still dozing off on the edge of grandma's bed. Unexpectedly, after chatting with Kingsley and the others, Neville had already woken up.

"Well, I just woke up."

After Maca's point last time and after that precipitation, he already looks more determined and confident that Gryffindor is unique to, and even his expression has become more energetic than before.

When he was a child, Neville was short and fat, and he often gave people a feeling of shrinking. But during the growth period in recent years, his physique surpassed most of his classmates unconsciously.

Perhaps it was only because the timidity in his bones was still there that even his tall body could not change his impression in everyone's mind.

But now, when he finally grasped the courage that only belonged to him under the urging of his grandma, everything seemed to be different.

"I seem to have heard you talking about Maca just now? What's wrong with him? Has something major happened?"

In the past, even if Neville could say so many words, they would have spoken intermittently. How could he ask three questions in one breath?

Hermione felt very fresh about this.

"No, it's nothing serious."

She first answered Neville's question casually, but then took a good look at him.

"Honestly, Neville...you've changed a lot from before."

"Well... Actually, I don't think it's that big." Neville subconsciously glanced at the grandma on the hospital bed, "Also, even if the change is really big, everyone seems to think that I have become stronger now— —Even Maca has praised me! If I put it before this, I would never believe it..."

As he spoke, he suddenly raised his hand to rub his face, and then said in a deep voice:

"But if all these praises can only be obtained by grandma's serious injuries, so many injuries, and even death... I would rather not have these damn changes!"

This was undoubtedly the first time Neville had used the rude word "damn" since his birth. It is conceivable how much his state of mind has changed after experiencing this upheaval.

Hermione even noticed that Neville's hands suddenly trembled slightly when he said this.

"Hermione, do you know?" He held his trembling right hand with his left hand, and said softly, "When Sirius took me out to save people, although I did save many innocent Muggle residents ...However, I also missed many opportunities to save more people!"

"When I watched them being killed by those monsters, I felt... I felt that the whole world was darkened."

"And it wasn't until then that I realized that the so-called 'courage' can actually appear at the same time as 'fear'. I was really scared at the time... No, I'm probably still scared now!"

After saying this, Neville fell into a moment of silence.

Hermione who stood in front of him didn't know what to say for a while - in fact, she could understand Neville's feelings very well, after all, who would really not be afraid of the disaster at that time?

Not long after, Neville finally spoke again:

"So, I don't think I've changed much...I'm still that timid Neville Longbottom. So, I've been hoping that grandma will wake up early, only she can tell me...I'm now Are you really worthy of being the son of your parents?"

In fact, these words have been held back in Neville's heart for several days. Maybe if it wasn't for Maca's awakening last time, he still hasn't been able to say it yet?

As for Hermione, as Neville's good friend, she just happened to meet the time when the other party wanted to talk to her.

"Don't worry! Your grandma will wake up," Hermione comforted, "Maca has said that there is hope... Besides, we can figure out a way by ourselves! You are good at herbal medicine, why don't you think about it first See if there are any herbal ingredients that can help."

"All in all, we can't just sit around and find something for ourselves—"

"boom!"

She was trying to cheer up Navvie, but before she could finish speaking, she heard the door behind her suddenly being opened.

"Sirius? Oh! You're here—"

When Hermione heard the sound, she didn't even have to turn her head to know that it was Harry running up suddenly. Listening to the gasp mixed with that voice, I'm afraid climbing the stairs all the way took him a lot of energy.

"Sirius, your spell level is high, hurry down and see if you can find a way..."

Probably seeing Harry talking anxiously, Sirius who was sitting beside Kingsley got up and walked towards the door without saying a word, and rushed downstairs with Harry after a while.

That's because St. Mungoli is so messy, it would be much faster if he could apparate!

After a little hesitation, Hermione also heard Harry's voice explaining the following situation to Sirius as he went downstairs.

Although I only listened roughly to the beginning, it was too far away to hear clearly, but Hermione still managed to capture a series of dangerous-sounding words such as "out of control", "explosion", "injury" and so on. .

What the hell is going on here? Could it be that... Hai Erbo couldn't help showing up so soon?

Just as Hermione was thinking secretly, her movements were actually not slow, and she also rushed out while thinking. Seeing this, Neville, who was right next to him, first hesitated and then looked at the grandma on the hospital bed, then gritted his teeth and ran out of the room.

Kingsley looked at the door, covering his shoulders with a helpless expression.
