Chapter 886 Save Face!

In previous years, almost every Christmas Eve was spent at home with parents and family members. They often gather a whole family, sit around the fireplace to drive away the cold of winter, and enjoy the happiness of being with their loved ones.

But this year, on Christmas Eve, which lasted almost all night yesterday, not only did most of the little wizards stay in Hogwarts Castle, but even many of their parents rushed over.

If I had to say it, in fact, many of those elders had studied in this school, and this could almost be regarded as a unique alumni gathering!

However, in that night of cheering and carnival, there was no Maca.

"Professor McGonagall, do you know where Maca is? I've searched everywhere, but I just can't find where he is..."

Hermione went to the principal's office to ask this question, but this time she didn't get a sufficiently accurate answer. She only heard one sentence from Mag - "He will come back tomorrow". &1t;i>&1t;/i>

When Hermione looked at the other person and said this sentence, her carefulness helped her catch a fleeting look. It's a pity that just that look in the eyes still couldn't make her have any useful associations.

After that, accompanied by the laughter and the rich aroma of hot cocoa in the castle, she listened to the new song of the half-blood vampire Loken with her partners in the auditorium.

It has to be said that the half-vampire singer whose reputation in the magic world is not below that of the Weird Sisters is indeed very powerful, and his music contains the charm that can make people immerse themselves in it.

This may be the use of the innate ability of the vampire blood, but it has to be admitted that his own musical attainments are also extraordinary.

At least Hermione felt that the night was not wasted.

Before I knew it... most of the night passed like that.

&1t;i>&1t;/i>

...

The next day was Christmas Day.

It is a little different from yesterday when most of the students chose to stay in school to participate. Today, some students are going home. Even though the three-day and two-night event has different highlights every day, there are always people who have other festival plans.

But because the number of students in this part is not too large, and some students from Beauxbatons in France and Ilvermorny in the United States came in groups today, the number of students in Hogwarts has increased by a large amount. .

In addition, at least for Hermione, the most noteworthy thing is - early this morning, Maca really came back!

"Where did you go yesterday?"

By the Christmas forest in the vestibule, Hermione, who had been walking around here early, immediately spotted the figure coming from the school gate, and she immediately greeted him. &1t;i>&1t;/i>

"Oh, good morning Hermione!" Maca waved her hand from a distance, "I have something to deal with last night... To be honest, I didn't hear Loken Deyce singing, I really feel a little sorry for it!"

But what was even more regrettable was that Hermione was not distracted by his complaint.

"So, where have you been?" She ignored the half-vampire's content, and continued to ask stubbornly, "Did you do something troublesome and dangerous again? I asked Professor McGonagall yesterday, but She told me almost everything...I think you could at least tell us something."

Seeing that a word could not change the topic, Maca had no choice but to raise her hands in surrender.

"No, it's really nothing——" he said with a smile, "I'm sure you can guess with your intelligence... Yes, it's something related to 'Despicable Hai Erbo' again. But you also have to understand... Regarding some of his plans and preparations, it's best not to speak casually, isn't it?" &1t;i>&1t;/i>

Hermione's ability to appear and disappear, through the incident where Harry was controlled last time, Hermione has also somewhat experienced it. Therefore, she can indeed understand the few words Maca said.

only……

"Maka, I understand...that's right, I can understand what you're doing." She bit her lip, then shook her head and said, "It's just... I just want to know that there is really nothing we can do to help you Do you know that we have been improving ourselves for the past two years, and we are also working hard to lighten the burden on you and Hogwarts... Even Ron has become much stronger than before! Whether in In terms of magical strength, or in his psychology..."

"As for Harry, he has always been very attached to the sword of Gryffindor, which you can see; and for example, Neville, his level of hard work is even worse than mine... Yes, and Luna... She is smart and talented, and what's more, she always goes to the library, who has always lived freely..."&1t;i>&1t;/i>

As Hermione spoke, she looked up at Maca's face again, as if hoping to see something she was looking forward to from the other's expression.

But Maca still maintained that warm smile, and shook her head with slightly closed eyes.

"Sorry, I don't think I can... In short, don't worry! Leave those things to me, you just need to study hard at Hogwarts, and then graduate safely and safely—"

In the middle of saying this, he suddenly stopped, and his eyes turned from Hermione to the Christmas forest on one side. Because he found that a familiar wave of magic power was slowly coming here from the forest.

Seeing this, Hermione couldn't help but look over there.

"Luna?"

It was Hermione who called out the other person's name, and there was a hint of surprise in that tone. &1t;i>&1t;/i>

In fact, during the period when she and Luna got very close in the past, she also naturally learned about the other party's living habits.

Generally speaking, Luna should still be sleeping in bed at this moment!

"Oh... Hermione, and Maca here?"

Luna passed by a tree, and saw her lightly flicking the silk in her ear, and the haze that was once unique flowed through her words.

It's just that now, she will speak in this tone in the morning when she is still a little dazed, or when she has realized something in her heart.

"Good morning? Are you going for a walk too? Oh . . . I had a great time last night, didn't I?"

"You're right," Hermione responded casually, and then asked in confusion, "But Luna... why did you wake up so early today? You usually wake up later than this, right?"&1t; i>&1t;/i>

"Really?" Luna, who seemed to be ignorant of this, tilted her head, "I just think I should go for a walk today..."

Obviously, the way of thinking is completely different, and it can even be said that he has hardly thought about anything, but he can inadvertently touch the choices that others make after careful consideration.

This is Miss Luna Lovegood.

"Speaking of...Luna, aren't you going home today?" Maca asked curiously, "I remember your father didn't come over yesterday, did he?"

"Yesterday Dad had to finish printing all this year's Christmas special issue in time for Christmas Eve," Luna immediately replied happily, "but he will come over today—when the Owl Post Office goes home to deliver the magazine and order list, he will come."

"That's good, Hagrid's 'Zoo' will open a new area today! You can go there and have a good time." &1t;i>&1t;/i>

After that, he waved to Hermione again.

"Let's go! Before breakfast time, I'll take you to the History of Magic classroom. I heard from Professor Binns that his Christmas project will officially open today... We can be his first guests. "

"Professor Binns?"

Hermione was taken aback when she heard this, and her expression seemed a little complicated.

To be honest, as for that ghostly old professor who can only read in class, no one can imagine what the Christmas event he created would be like.

In fact, it can be said that everyone thought that among the series of subjects at Hogwarts, it was unlikely that any festivals would be held on the history of magic. If it had to be displayed, it would probably be a historical exhibition.

But if Professor Binns really wants to create something like "Christmas Historical Changes in the Modern Magic World", then maybe it's time to create the "Lowest Popularity Award" for this Hogwarts Christmas event. &1t;i>&1t;/i>

However, when Hermione saw that Maca seemed a little excited, she immediately didn't dare to draw conclusions casually.

So, she and Luna followed Maca all the way back. While chatting without saying a word, the three of them soon came to the gate of the History of Magic classroom.

As far as this door is concerned, it has always been open on weekdays.

Because Old Binns, as a ghost, even entered and exited the classroom directly through the wall, so he couldn't touch most of the real objects. Plus he never cared about the little things... oh, and he hardly cared about the big things, so the front door of the History of Magic classroom was always open.

But today, not only the door is closed, but even the windows are tightly covered by the curtains inside. Just standing outside this classroom, you can't see what's going on inside.

"I bet that Professor Binns must be inside." Maca smiled, pointing to the door and whispering secretly.

After Luna heard it, she asked very cooperatively at that time:

"why?"

"Because he's a ghost! It's the same everywhere... So his most likely choice is to follow the schedule and wait at the place where he's doing the next thing."

Maca shrugged casually, and while explaining, reached out and knocked on the classroom door. Not long after, a translucent white phantom slowly came out from the door.

Probably because Maca was too close to us, the somewhat dull old Binns stacked up with Maca without paying attention.

"Oh."

Maca quickly took a step back—it is really "cool" to suddenly get into the body of a ghost in this winter!

"Professor Binns, are you ready here? We are here to be your first customers!"

"Huh?" Old Binns turned his head and said with a dull expression, "Oh, it's you... My place won't open until noon, so come back when the time comes..."

Seeing that he was about to go back directly after saying these words lightly, Maca hurriedly said:

"Hey, wait! Wait first! Give me some face!"
