Chapter 1462 Neville's Remorse
"Maka, I helped you catch these little guys back."
"Hey! Sirius, don't make us look like rabbits... We also wanted to go secretly to find you... Ah no, I mean, we temporarily left the town in an 'open and square' way!"
"It's all stealthy and invisible there, can it be called fair and aboveboard? If you didn't just cast the silence spell into the passage and didn't notice what was behind you, maybe I didn't even notice that you had reached the entrance!"
"Oh, Sirius, we...we just want to test whether the passage is safe enough..."
Maca stood at the door of the observation room, looking at the guys in front of him who were not so much arguing, but rather joking, he couldn't help feeling amused.
Obviously, Sirius was probably already aware of Harry and the others' worries about him, but he wasn't that kind of hypocritical person, so he didn't deliberately mention that.
However, in the face of these little guys who even sneaked out of the town to find themselves in extremely dangerous places like London in order to confirm their safety. He usually looks a little casual and indifferent on the surface, but because of the warmth in his heart, he is unwilling to blame the three Harrys who are actually too adventurous.
Of course, with regard to the happy scene in front of him, although Maca smiled secretly in his heart, he always maintained his usual indifference on his face.
Even faintly, it seems that there is still some seriousness.
"Okay, okay," seeing Harry and Ron babbling and reasoning beside Sirius, Hermione couldn't help but pull them both secretly, and then whispered behind them, "Stop talking nonsense, Ma Ka looks a little annoyed."
"Eh?"
Reminded by Hermione, the two hurriedly and cautiously glanced at Maca's face, and then immediately shut their mouths firmly.
Although after confirming that Sirius is completely fine, they are in a good mood now, so they joked with Sirius. But considering that although he carefully prepared himself mentally with the help of Hermione this time, he still had to be reckless overall, so it was not surprising that Maca would be angry.
After all, it is a matter of life and death!
"Do you realize your mistake?"
Since Sirius softened his heart and pretended to be the good guy for a while, he can only be the bad guy. Seeing these little friends who had finally calmed down, Maca asked casually with a sullen face.
"Well, I know I was wrong." "Got it"
"Hermione, what about you?"
"Uh...well, I too...know I was wrong."
Seeing that the three of them admitted their mistakes honestly, without a single excuse, Maca immediately waved his hand and said:
"Then, in order to prevent you from running around again—the next important task of guarding these two observation rooms will be entrusted to you. Remember, this is very important, and you must keep an eye on it for 24 hours. And records. If there is any abnormality, send someone to report to me or Lupine, understand?"
"OK."
After Hermione agreed without hesitation, Harry and Ron quickly nodded to express their understanding, and then Maca added:
"You heard it before in the hall of the Ministry of Magic, so I believe that you should also understand the importance of these two ladies... Take care of them, and if necessary, you can call Ginny or Hannah Come one.
"
After all, the two survivors inside were both women, and Harry and Ron were still inconvenient in their daily care. It's just that there are not enough nursing staff in Spiral Town. If you don't want to trouble those refugees, you can only rely on your own people to help.
After that, Maca told Hermione and the three of them carefully about the situation in the observation room and the two survivors, and then waved to Sirius.
"Okay, then let's go to Lupine's side first... I think he must be very worried about you, and he can rest assured and continue working when he sees that you are fine."
Just saying that, Maca suddenly turned his head back after taking two steps forward, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"By the way, by the way - there is no problem with the safety of the exit passage of the town. Everything you whispered at the entrance of the passage was recorded verbatim by the Sound Bird."
"Eh--"
Hearing the three overlapping annoyed whispers, Maca left the New St. Mungo's underground corridor with Sirius contentedly, and went to the Ministry of Magic to find Lupine.
"Hermione," Ron couldn't help whispering after being stunned for a moment, "you said...could we have been working for nothing before?"
"Otherwise, what do you think?" Hermione sighed, "I'm afraid, Maca knows everything about what we're thinking and what we're doing...Even if we didn't meet Sirius, we would definitely not be able to slip out."
"So... what's the deal with Neville?"
...
Just when Ron was puzzled by Neville, Neville himself was still ignorant of the fact that Sirius had returned.
Right now, although he has returned to the mansion where he temporarily lived with Luna, and ate breakfast in a daze under Luna's call.
But compared to Luna who ate happily, he obviously didn't know what to eat.
While stuffing the unsmeared bread into his mouth one after another, he was completely immersed in thinking, and he didn't even notice that his mouth was too dry to swallow.
"Neville?"
Luna had already satiated her stomach with a sigh of relief, and now, while drinking Goldigan tea, she looked curiously at Neville whose mouth was so dry that the crumbs fell from it.
"Aren't you thirsty? Could it be a newly learned special ability?"
"what?"
When Neville heard the words, he came back to his senses for a while, but when he opened his mouth, more dry crumbs spewed out immediately, causing Luna who was sitting opposite to jump up from the chair and hide to the side.
"Wow, like a sand-spraying squirrel... that's awesome!"
After saying this, Luna saw that Neville suddenly picked up the cup and poured water into her mouth in a hurry, she immediately picked up the tableware she had used as if she lost interest, and ran to the sink to wash it.
At the dining table, there was only one person left in the blink of an eye. Neville scratched his head apologetically, but soon fell into deep thought again.
To him, the situation on Harry's side was obviously more concerning. Although he had escaped with Luna before, he was still quite worried in his heart.
Based on what he knew about the three of Harry, after his leaked "unintentional reminder", the next three guys may... no, they will definitely find a way to leave Spiral Town.
And thinking about it this way, he who was already uneasy felt more and more guilty.
