Chapter 963: Harry's Inner Struggle

"...His name is 'Asa', and he has a companionship with that Miriam."&1t;/p>

"Is that Miriam who was taken to Hogwarts by Maca?" &1t;/p>

"That's right." &1t;/p>

In this temporary ward, which had suffered several times, Kingsley, who draped Sirius' shoulders to support his body, was looking at the man on the ground with a thoughtful look. &1t;/p>

And information about this man was gradually revealed from his mouth. &1t;/p>

"Actually, there is not much information about these two people," Kingsley said in a slightly weak voice, "at least many places in their files are blank... Judging from some hints from Maca, they seem to have It has a special identity, so at present, only Maca knows about it."&1t;/p>

"Maybe it's not that special?" Sirius thought for a while, and then said, "Look, Maca sent that Miriam to Hogwarts--in my opinion, it's more about keeping it secret than it is now." How about 'protection'?" &1t;/p>

Kingsley nodded slightly after listening to Sirius' words: &1t;/p>

"It's also possible... the recent situation has changed too frequently. Maybe something that is still trying to keep it secret today will need to be made public tomorrow..." &1t;/p>

Just like before, Sirius and he mentioned "whether the existence of Hai Erbo needs to be announced to the public", the situation will always change according to the change of the status quo. &1t;/p>

To be honest, Kingsley, the head of the Auror office, also feels a lot of pressure on the current magic world. &1t;/p>

"In short——"&1t;/p>

He put aside other thoughts in his mind for the time being,

He corrected the topic that was slightly off. &1t;/p>

"Right now, St. Mungo's has been temporarily closed. Even if we know that this is Miss Miriam's companion, there is no way to invite her over immediately. All we can do now is to hold on here and try our best to Protect more injuries."&1t;/p>

As he was speaking, Kingsley subconsciously glanced at his shoulder, and then couldn't help shaking his head. &1t;/p>

"Well, now that things are going on, you still say 'we'..." He said a little helplessly, "Sirius, Miss Sinista, and Miss Granger—I'll leave it to you here."&1t;/p >

"You don't need to be like this," Sirius smiled. "Also, it's not just us—the Hogwarts students in recent years have been much better than before! Everyone is working hard!" &1t;/p>

"Yes!" &1t;/p>

Not far away, Hermione, who was still bowing her head and writing something, also echoed. &1t;/p>

...&1t;/p>

However, when it comes to hard work, one person seems to be wandering on the edge of the wrong direction. &1t;/p>

At this moment, in the underground corridor of St. Mungo's, two boys were standing face to face. One of them was puzzled, as if wondering why the other party brought him here, while the other's face was more of a hesitation. &1t;/p>

"Harry, what happened? If you need my help, just say it..."&1t;/p>

Obviously, it was Harry who kept hesitating despite being the one who called him down. And the one he called down was undoubtedly Neville. &1t;/p>

"Harry," Neville had to continue seeing that he didn't speak, "you know—I used to be very shy, and I was often bullied and laughed at by the Slytherins. But it's because of you that I I feel the warmth of friends in my life at Hogwarts..."&1t;/p>

"You, Maca, Hermione, Ron... There are many, many people who have been kind to me, I remember each of them! It can be said that without you, I am afraid that I will be more cowardly than usual. If that is the case , I probably won't have the chance to become who I am now."&1t;/p>

"So, if you have any difficulties and need me, please tell me! Just because you are my forever friend!" &1t;/p>

Yes, Neville had really changed, at least Harry had never seen him so reliable. In the past, Harry would never have believed that a person would have such a huge change. &1t;/p>

But it was precisely because of the heartfelt words of each other's "friends" that made Harry feel more and more heavy. &1t;/p>

He brought Neville to the corridor of the underground warehouse, of course to let Neville try the sword of Gryffindor. As long as he seals it up at that time, presumably Neville will not cause any terrible accidents even if he loses control. &1t;/p>

However, when Harry brought Neville into the corridor, he became worried again. &1t;/p>

This is obviously a very inappropriate behavior - after all, he was just trying to pick up the sword, and he didn't even succeed. He really knew too little about the sword. &1t;/p>

Even Maca has said that to practice it has to be done alone, and it has to be done in the Room of Requirement. It is an extremely irresponsible practice for him to give Neville a try as soon as he is so hotheaded. &1t;/p>

"...Well, we are friends forever."&1t;/p>

Harry rubbed the brim of the sorting hat in his right hand, responded softly, and then said: &1t;/p>

"Neville, I... have indeed encountered a problem. You know it too! It's about me practicing how to use the Gryffindor sword..."&1t;/p>

"Ah, yes." Neville nodded and said, "Did you encounter a bottleneck? It's like when practicing the Patronus Charm, no matter how much you swing your staff, you can't summon the Patronus?"&1t;/p>

This is the biggest bottleneck Nawei has personally experienced, so when he mentions the "bottleneck", he immediately thinks of the distress that he has been practicing for the past few years but has no way to do it. &1t;/p>

But in Harry's ears, the word "patron saint" is a big wound for him now. When these words came out of Neville's mouth, the irritation to him was obviously even greater. &1t;/p>

After taking a short breath, Harry leaned against the wall of the corridor again, and continued: &1t;/p>

"Yes, the bottleneck... In fact, compared to the beginning, I have been able to hold on to the hilt of my sword to maintain my consciousness for a much longer time. But I found that the longer I can maintain it, the less I dare to do it again. Pick it up..."&1t;/p>

"Did you know? In the first accident, I almost killed Luna...the second time, I stabbed the sword at Hermione without hesitation! And all of this, but I was alone Know nothing." &1t;/p>

"I understand that I am afraid. I am afraid that one day when I have to pick it up, my sword will fall on every friend instead!"&1t;/p>

"But...even so, I want to pick up this sword like Gryffindor and fight for protection. I don't want to hide behind others anymore, that's not me at all..."&1t;/p>

"...Harry." Neville blinked and said seriously after a while, "Then, since you asked me to come here, it means that I must be useful, right? What do you want me to do, say Go!" &1t;/p>

"That's right..."&1t;/p>

Although Harry didn't think about anything other than letting Neville try the sword at all at first, but now, another thought came into his mind. &1t;/p>

"Neville, tell me—how did you summon a lion patron saint?"&1t;/p>

Upon hearing this, Neville immediately hesitated and said: &1t;/p>

"Do you also want to summon the Lion Patronus... Well, although I want to help you, I don't understand such profound magic principles! Maybe there is a way for Maca, but I really can't do it..."&1t ;/p>

The members, including Neville, also studied according to the analysis materials given by Maca. &1t;/p>

If there is any difference in the learning process between Neville and Harry, in fact, Harry, who has been taught by Maca himself, has more experience in casting spells. &1t;/p>

Of course, Harry understood this very well. &1t;/p>

"No, I...to tell you the truth, I really thought about summoning a lion patron saint," he said frankly, "but we all know that the image of a patron saint is difficult to change by our own will. "&1t;/p>

"So, I don't want you to tell me if there is any trick to summoning a lion...I just want to know, what is in your heart when you summon a Patronus? I...I need more courage And confidence!" &1t;/p>

"Oh, this one! No problem, I can tell you everything I know. But you have to wait a moment, let me think about how I felt at that time...At that time, everything was chaotic..."&1t;/p>

Neville seemed a little tired from standing, and followed Harry to the wall, frowning, and began to recall the crisis-ridden scene at that time. &1t;/p>

And then, when the two of them were talking one by one and listening to the other, their incomparable concentration prevented them from noticing an inaudible sound suddenly sounded in the depths of the corridor. &1t;/p>

That sound... as if something had cracked. &1t;/p>

...&1t;/p>

Like the big guys in St. Mungo's, Maca, who is still in Fort Blois, is also working tirelessly. &1t;/p>

Mechanized work always causes a lot of fatigue, not only physically, but also mentally. Even with his strong will, after repeating a nearly identical movement thousands of times without stopping, it was difficult for him to concentrate as much as he did at the beginning. &1t;/p>

Maca's breathing seemed to gradually become a little rough. &1t;/p>

But fortunately, he has been doing this kind of boring research all these years. Although there is no time like this that needs to last for more than ten hours without interruption, if he has to endure it forcefully, he feels that he can still hold it. &1t;/p>

And more importantly, although the repetitive work is extremely monotonous, the speed will gradually increase accordingly after getting used to it. &1t;/p>

Judging from the current progress, he felt that the end time of the first stage might be earlier than originally estimated and it was unknown. &1t;/p>

But at a certain moment, he felt a sudden hotness somewhere in his arm, which made him stop the movement of his hand immediately. &1t;/p>

When he rolled up his sleeves again and looked at his forearm, a strange and weird pattern appeared in the middle of the previous blue symbol circle. &1t;/p>

"Did you finally go in? If so, then..."&1t;/p>

Just when Maca raised his hand as if he wanted to do something, he slightly raised his eyebrows, then suddenly stopped. &1t;/p>
