Chapter 1026 Envy

"Don't follow me this afternoon, I have something to do...you can go around the school! If you like, you can also go to the village of Hogsmeade not far from here, and drink a cup of butter in the pub Beer is good too."

After the lunch break that day, Maca did not go to the hillside at the school gate to watch the Muggles busy, but planned to go to the cave deep in the Forbidden Forest to have a look at the Bewitching Monument and the Devouring Mirror.

Obviously, not only could he not tell the wizard in the windbreaker about this matter, it was even more impossible for him to take him with him.

However, after hearing what he said, the other party seemed to show a little reluctance.

"……yes?"

Although he didn't say it clearly, the tone of his indifferent tone clearly contained a subtle emotion.

"Ok."

Macario nodded in surprise.

"Feel sorry."

I don't know if it was because of the sudden depression. Under the influence of this inexplicable atmosphere, he finally apologized without any reason.

After turning around and walking out of the gate of the castle, leaving the wizard in the windbreaker in the hall, Maca shook his head secretly.

"Strange...was it a case of apologizing just now?"

To be honest, this time Maca also felt a little confused about the situation - just at that moment, he suddenly felt as if he shouldn't leave alone.

No matter how he thought about it, he would never take an unknown person to that cave.

...

On the other side, the windbreaker wizard watched Maca's back gradually go away. It wasn't until I stood in the hallway that I couldn't see it, it seemed like I had lost my goal, and suddenly I didn't know what to do next.

what! The ultimate goal is always in his mind, but until the time actually comes, there seems to be nothing more that must be done to complete it.

I don't know when it started, silently following Maca's side became the only thing this windbreaker wizard wanted to do.

After standing alone in a little daze for a while, he heard him suppressed and coughed twice, and then he walked aimlessly towards the side of the hall.

Since I don't have any good ideas, I might as well follow what Maca said and just go shopping first.

The rest time was over now, and the little wizards were all carrying textbooks or book bags, and walked to their respective classrooms in groups of three or four.

Therefore, in the corridors and on the stairs, there are students walking fast everywhere.

Maybe it's because I've gotten used to this strangely dressed "outsider" in the past two days, or because everyone is rushing to the classroom for class, basically no one is staring at this windbreaker wizard with curiosity anymore. .

Of course, it is inevitable to occasionally turn your head to take a glance at it. After all, no matter how normal you are dressed, as long as you are with Maca often, you will definitely get special attention at Hogwarts.

Fortunately, the windbreaker wizard didn't seem to mind those harmless gazes.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, a slightly familiar voice fell into his eyes.

There was no doubt that it was Hermione, the only student who had taken the initiative to talk to her all this time.

And at this moment, Hermione suddenly turned her face and said:

"Harry, hurry up! You and Neville are to blame for dawdling, otherwise we would have come over earlier and sat in the first row! Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about Ron, right?"

But behind her, Ron waved his hands again and again immediately.

"Okay Hermione! I'm fine, and it's not like you don't know that Harry is going to practice with Neville!"

Hermione heard,

Immediately, he turned around again, accusing dissatisfiedly:

"You still speak for him...Since the first grade, you two have always ignored my words. Don't you really think that I said this for your own benefit?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I was wrong--Hermione, we listen to you, we listen to you!" Ron hurriedly expressed his remorse, and then asked Harry, "Isn't it?"

"Oh, yes! Exactly."

Harry also immediately retreated to a position next to Ron, and nodded obediently. Seeing Hermione muttering "It's not too bad" while turning around and continuing on their way, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's why I've always thought she was a bit like my mother since I was in the first grade." Ron leaned next to Harry and complained in a low voice, "Although it's for our own good, it just sounds a little bit Annoyed—"

Hearing what he said, Harry couldn't help shrugging and said:

"Not every mother is like this - at least I think, if my mother was still around, she wouldn't be like Hermione taking care of us all day!"

In the past, it was obviously impossible for him to say such words. It seemed that, because he was immersed in the belief of the Patronus Charm all day long, even the death of his parents gradually began to be relieved.

"Haha! You can't say for sure!"

When Ron grabbed Harry's neck and laughed happily, even Neville, who was walking on the other side, showed a happy expression for Harry.

But at this moment, just behind them, a bit of envy appeared in the eyes of the wizard in the windbreaker.

Not long after, Hermione and the others arrived at the Transfiguration classroom and walked into it one after another.

Seeing that the number of other students in the corridor also decreased as they dispersed along the way, at this moment, the previous excitement was gone.

The windbreaker wizard, who lost the crowd, gradually slowed down, and finally stopped slightly near the door of the Transfiguration class classroom.

It can be seen here that the students in the classroom are talking softly with the students in the nearby seats, and the atmosphere is harmonious.

Suddenly, the class bell rang suddenly, interrupting some thoughts in the windbreaker wizard's mind. Just as he was about to leave here and continue to walk forward, he saw the eyes hidden under the wide-brimmed hat suddenly turned back and looked behind him.

"Aren't you with Maca this afternoon?"

At the same time when he turned his head, Professor McGonagall's voice sounded - this is not a coincidence, because shouldn't it be time for class?

"Hello, ahem...well, yes."

"Then you might as well come into the classroom with me!" Mag continued suddenly, "It's not for listening to the class, it's just for sitting - as long as you don't disturb the students in class."

"Can I?"

Mag didn't answer this time, but just stretched out her hand to gesture towards the door, and then expressed her meaning very clearly.

"As you can see, there is one more observer in today's class. Of course, you don't need to be too enthusiastic, just listen carefully as usual."

After leading the other party into the classroom, Professor McGonagall first spoke briefly. And after letting the wizard in the windbreaker go to the back to find a seat, he really started to give lectures as usual.

"This class continues the content of the previous lectures, and continues to talk about the problem of converting a high-composite substance into a single substance. As mentioned in the previous class, the similarities and differences between it and alchemy, we can actually Let's discuss it together..."

The wizard in the windbreaker took a seat at the end of the classroom. He listened to what Mag said for a while at first, but he lost his mind after a while.

This is not because he is not interested in Transfiguration, on the contrary, Transfiguration is still one of his best subjects.

Thinking back when he participated in the battle between Maca and Haierbo, the summoning of the giant ice crystal bird could only be performed with a very high foundation of transfiguration.

And the reason why he lost his mind so quickly is probably mainly due to a certain feeling of the atmosphere in the classroom.

"...Okay, let's talk about the theory first. Now, please divide into groups of two or three, and assign one person from each group to collect the materials."

Harry and the three of them naturally gathered together separately as usual, but then Ron discovered that Hermione actually waved at Neville this time, while he walked straight towards the wizard in the windbreaker Come.

"Can I be in a group with you?" She said softly, "If you agree, I'll go get the practice materials right now."

The next moment, Hermione saw the other party nodded, without showing the slightest rejection.

Not long after, Hermione took a large piece of strange thing with strange color and messy texture from the podium, and placed it on the table.

This is just a class exercise. Although N.E.'s courses are not easy, for Miss Know-It-All, the difficulty is not very high.

Therefore, her goal was not on the subject from the very beginning, and she never even thought of using this exercise to test the mysterious trench coat wizard—even if her behavior seemed to have such a little meaning in it.

"Excuse me for asking, why didn't you spend the afternoon with Maca like you did a few days ago?"

It can be heard from Hermione's tone that she still maintains a certain respect and distance for this strange wizard. After all, this is a wizard who can often walk with Maca, no matter how you think about it, he will not be an insignificant person.

"Ahem..." The other party then coughed twice, "Mr. McClain has some private matters this afternoon, so if it's inconvenient, he can bring me along."

"Private matters?" Hermione thought for a moment while listening, "Didn't he say what it was specifically?"

"No."

The windbreaker wizard said silently with that hoarse voice.

At this time, Hermione wanted to ask something more, but she heard Professor McGonagall behind the podium say:

"Every group has received the practice materials, so in the next 20 minutes, please follow the various analytical formulas in the book to successfully convert the high-complex substance into a single substance of equal mass. The students who spend the least time, You can get 5 college points for your college—then, start now!"

After listening to Professor McGonagall's words, Hermione didn't immediately take out her wand and start performing the transfiguration, but while flipping through the pages of the textbook, she suddenly asked:

"Excuse me... do you like class very much?"
