Chapter 196 Compromise?

Among the people present, the only one who witnessed the whole process of the incident was Hermione who had been standing at the entrance of the opposite passage.

When she saw Maca save Harry, she was really relieved.

The situation at that time was too dangerous. If Harry had been hit in the middle by the Chimera's dragon's tail, then Harry would definitely not have survived.

But just when she put down her heart hanging in the air, that amazing accident happened!

Accident? Yes...it must be so!

All she saw was that Harry suddenly got up from the ground, his terrifying bloodshot eyes were full of violent and bloodthirsty aura. She didn't know what happened to Harry, but she knew that it wasn't the look a normal human being should have at all.

Harry raised the sword—the Gryffindor sword she handed to Harry, and swung it at Maca's back without hesitation!

Hermione had touched that sword many times, and she knew very well that it was a sword that swung silently, and it was also a sword that was invincible.

"Do not--"

Hermione wanted to pull out her wand, trying to stop that disgraced Harry. But it wasn't until that moment that she understood why Maca often emphasized that the wand must be placed where it is easiest to draw out; and why Maca always practiced drawing the wand quickly over and over again...

She was too late, all she could do was run desperately and scream loudly. She didn't even know whether she wanted to remind Maca, or to vent the fear in her heart.

Immediately afterwards, Luna, the crazy girl whom she often envied, even a little bit jealous, opened her hands without saying a word, and blocked Maca's back at that critical moment.

Hermione didn't know, she didn't know if she would have done it so simply.

"...Yes, I will definitely...Definitely..."

At some point, her face was covered with tears. She was standing in front of Maca, staring at Maca's face in a daze.

How long has it been since Maca's face has such obvious emotions?

It was an indescribable sadness, as well as an obvious weakness...

Whether it was the original Maca, or the Maca who became a little indifferent later, they did not show such obvious weakness. He is like a real strong man who will never be afraid and never negative. Even when he lost for the first time when facing Voldemort at the end of the first semester, he only showed regret and anger for a moment.

But it was Maca, who was so powerful that all the little wizards were in awe, showing such a weak expression at this moment.

What is he afraid of? Was it the fear of losing the girl in his arms? So... If it were me, would he also show such an expression?

No, what am I thinking...

"Maca..."

As if frightened, Maca suddenly raised her head and looked at Hermione in a daze.

"...she'll be fine, right?" His voice sounded strangely husky.

"Yes, she'll be fine... haven't you fed her the potion?" Hermione said hastily, "She'll be fine... definitely..."

"Potions? Yeah, um—"

After being reminded by Hermione, he seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and checked Luna in a hurry - it was a huge scar starting from the left waist and stretching to the other side of the rib. Fortunately, Maca's potion was used in time, and by now, most of the wound had healed.

He reached out and touched the side of Luna's neck, there was no problem, the pulse was very strong, so there should be no problem.

When he turned his head back and planned to pick up the wand and test it again with magic, he was suddenly stunned.

"This is……"

Just after silently reciting the incantation, he clearly "saw" that the magic power in his body had awakened and flowed down his arm to the wand. Immediately afterwards, a series of broken rule runes flashed on the tip of the staff.

When this simple detect enchantment is complete,

A spreading ripple formed by magic power immediately rippled out, enveloping Luna.

"...magic?" he murmured. "Why... wait!"

Maca closed her eyes suddenly, and opened them quietly again soon.

"To get back emotions and emotions in this way...I'd rather not." He smiled wryly like self-deprecating, but there was more anger in his tone.

"Maka... are you okay?" Hermione couldn't help asking.

"It's all right," he smiled at Hermione. "I'm all right, Luna's all right... Where's Harry? Is he... all right?"

When Harry was mentioned, an unspeakably complicated expression flashed across his face.

Can he blame Harry? As long as the brain is still in his head, he can't blame Harry... Blame himself for being too stupid, since he saw Harry's appearance, he shouldn't let him stay behind him .

"Harry?" Hermione looked back as if she just remembered, "Hmm...it should be fine..."

Maca looked up to the front, only to find that Harry was lying on the open space not far away, and the Gryffindor sword had already been dropped.

It seems that he fell hard this time, but Maca subconsciously used a stun spell at that time, so no one would be killed.

At this moment, a faint voice suddenly sounded from Maca's arms.

"... Maca?"

At this time, Luna, like a newborn kitten, squinted her eyes in a daze, and looked at Maca weakly.

"Are you okay?" she said softly.

"I'm fine, of course I'm fine..." Maca hurriedly lowered her head, looked at her and said, "I should ask you this...how do you feel now...do you feel uncomfortable?"

Luna shrank back uncomfortably, as if she was still a little uncomfortable lying in someone's arms. She thought for a while, then shook her head slightly, and smiled at Maca.

"Mom said, don't get too close to boys..."

Probably because Maca's stun spell was too strong, Harry still didn't wake up when Maca was about to leave here.

"Let's go!" Maca carefully carried Luna on her back, and then controlled Harry to float beside her, ready to go find Krum with Hermione.

However, at this moment, Hermione suddenly thought about it and said, "We seem to have forgotten something?"

"What?" Maca looked around, then suddenly said, "Oh! Ron!"

Harry came here just to defeat Chimera and rescue Ron. But after such an accident, they almost forgot about saving Ron.

...

When Maca discovered that the entrance to the maze was blocked, and forcibly broke through the extremely thick wall, he immediately spotted the Dark Mark still smiling ferociously in the sky towards the school gate.

Of course, this is something Maca knows well, even if he doesn't want to find out, it's already too late.

After Maca just glanced over there, he immediately greeted everyone and walked towards Hogwarts Castle.

If the original plan had been followed, he should have appeared at the scene of the incident at the school gate by now, trying his best to put on a good show. But now Maca began to hesitate.

"If you have some skills, you don't know who you are..." He couldn't help muttering to himself, "Let's not say that Voldemort's strength has not been fully understood, even if the plan is implemented smoothly, so what?"

"The biggest enemy is not Voldemort at all, but this unpredictable future!"

It doesn't matter if he is cautious, or he is cowardly, in short, he just wants to find a place to hide now, so that he can live his life in peace.

Instead of going between Dumbledore and Voldemort, he returned to Hogwarts Castle in silence, and stayed by Luna's side quietly.

"What are you thinking?"

Luna, who was lying on the hospital bed in the school hospital, stretched out her hand, touched the back of Maca's hand lightly, and asked softly.

"Huh?" Maca pulled his attention away from his chaotic thoughts, "No, it's not a big deal."

He smiled at Luna, although his expression was no longer so stiff, but there was a trace of bitterness in it.

"……yes?"

Luna stared directly at Maca with misty eyes, as if she had seen through his heart.

But this time, she didn't say anything more. After a while, she seemed a little tired, and soon closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Of course Maca couldn't fall asleep, he just sat on the edge of the hospital bed, lost in thought again.

Outside the window, the evening glow swirled among the faint clouds and mist, dyeing the Dark Mark in the midair with a dazzling golden edge.

The wind in the distance is still howling, sometimes pouring out and sometimes shouting, but no one can understand its language.

Occasionally, a few crimson or miserable green lights flashed across the distant sky, reminding the teachers and students in the castle that there was still a battle at the school gate that had not subsided.

Until the sun was setting and the moon was rising, Dumbledore returned to the castle with a tired face.

He didn't explain much to others, but came to the school hospital immediately. When he saw Maca who was silent and Luna who was sleeping on the hospital bed, he seemed to understand something.

"Remember to eat dinner."

Dumbledore stretched out his wand, and nodded towards the table next to him. Several dinner plates appeared on the table immediately, filled with all kinds of delicate snacks.

"Thank you, Professor." Maca nodded to him.

Dumbledore didn't say anything, he just nodded and left.

Time passed bit by bit, and the sky was completely dark. Only the moonlight outside the window appeared and disappeared, and through the large windows of the ward, it sprinkled the silvery white all over the ground.

Just as Maca was watching Luna in a daze, a shadow stretched by the slanting moonlight suddenly appeared on the ground.

His first reaction was to stretch out his hand to protect Luna who was still asleep, then he clenched his wand and turned around, looking at the window vigilantly.
