Chapter 972 The Confrontation Between Luna and Hermione

"Where's Maca?"

It didn't even occur to Hermione that the guy had just said he wouldn't leave. But I just went downstairs to listen to the conversation between Sinista and old Victor's father and daughter, but when I came up, I found that he had disappeared without a trace again.

"He... I should have thought of it earlier! Did he think he was covering it up well? These days, I have seen enough of that kind of exhaustion from the bottom of my heart!"

Seeing this, Sinista, who came up with her, couldn't help but put her arms around the agitated Hermione, and then couldn't help but sighed secretly.

"Sarah, where's McClain again? Do you know?"

On the opposite side, Sarah was still sitting next to the formation. When Sinista asked, she subconsciously glanced at the formation at her feet.

"On the 'other side', I went to check on Hai Erbo's situation." She said, "Actually, I also persuaded him... Yes, he needs to rest. But, you know, I'm not very good at persuading people..."

In fact, Sarah, who has worked hard to learn the ways of the world, can never be said to be not good at doing these things. Back then, when she got into Hogwarts, her "performance" deceived a lot of people, including many professors.

But it's a pity that her set of skills almost doesn't work on Maca, because Maca has already known her true appearance.

And if she wanted to rely on her heart to try to persuade, to be honest, she didn't even know what her heart was at all!

But because of this, as the only person who was by Maca's side before he left, Sarah felt a little inappropriate for not being able to stop Maca's actions.

Especially after seeing Hermione's expression at this time.

"I know, I believe Hermione can understand,

Sinista smiled at Sarah, "She won't take it out on you because of that." "

Hermione, who was biting her lower lip with a sullen face, immediately forced a smile and nodded slightly towards Sarah.

"Don't worry, this has nothing to do with you, it's all—"

She wanted to say that it was all Maca's fault, but when she thought about it carefully, what was wrong with Maca... Could it be that he should be blamed for always taking things on herself habitually?

"Well... it's all our fault, it's because we couldn't keep up with him, and couldn't share these difficulties for him."

Hermione dropped her eyes and was silent for a few seconds before looking up again.

"Then do you think he will be in danger this time?"

To be honest, in terms of the level of confrontation between Maca and Haier Bona, probably only a very small number of wizards in the current magic world can tell clearly.

Others don't know, at least Sarah asked herself that she is definitely not among the few.

"I don't know either," she could only tell the truth, "I can only say that he drank a bottle of potion before he left, and his fatigue disappeared immediately."

"He can't always rely on potions to hold on..."

Muttering to herself, Hermione nodded her thanks to Sarah again, then turned around and ran to the stairs behind her. In just a blink of an eye, she left in a hurry.

After a while, Sarah suddenly asked Sinista hesitantly:

"Do you think...she really didn't blame me for not stopping Maca?"

After hearing this, Sinista finally couldn't help but take a good look at Sarah, as if she had just met her at this moment, full of curiosity.

"You really don't want to be hated by Miss Granger?"

Sarah immediately nodded calmly and said:

"She was genuine and kind... and always thought of others. I always wanted to have a friend like her."

"And what about McClain?"

Sinista suddenly changed the topic again, and even his tone was a little more inexplicably teasing.

"I see you admire him a lot, don't you?"

However, Sarah's face facing her was still so pale that water could be squeezed out. Because no matter how much Sinista thought wrongly, it was the same for Sarah—she didn't understand the deep meaning contained in Sinista's words at all.

"Maka is a very powerful person, and I respect him a lot."

...

Not to mention that Sinista was so relieved by the conversation with old Victor that he actually made fun of Sarah at this moment.

As far as Hermione is concerned, the knot in her heart has not been solved yet!

Running all the way down from the sixth floor, she looked around while running, as if she was looking for something.

Because it is late at night and early in the morning, everyone is basically still immersed in deep dreams. Although St. Mungo's at night is still as bright as the daytime, it still has the unique quietness of midnight.

Even though Hermione had kept her footsteps as light as possible, the sound of running back and forth inevitably echoed in the corridor, attracting the attention of some patients and members who hadn't slept soundly.

"Hermione, what are you looking for? I think you've come all the way from there to this—"

Ron, who happened to be in charge near the stairs on the third floor, saw her wandering around, looking a little hurried, so he came up to her and asked suspiciously.

Hermione saw him, and immediately asked:

"Did you see where Luna was?"

"Luna?" Ron repeated, thinking for a while, "it seems to be on the second floor——she has basically been on the second floor and the lobby these days, taking care of patients whose trauma has deteriorated. At this moment, she should also Are you sleeping?"

"thanks."

Throwing a word of thanks casually, Hermione immediately ran to the stairs quickly, leaving Ron alone in the corridor feeling more and more confused.

But Ron was right. As soon as he went down to the second floor and turned the corner of the corridor, Hermione saw the familiar pale golden hair all of a sudden.

It can be seen that Luna not far away is hugging a quilt and sitting crookedly outside the door of the bathroom. She sat sideways on the chair, but her shoulders were leaning against the wall, and she was sleeping soundly in a slightly awkward position hugging the clean quilt.

Seeing her appearance, Hermione was full of confusion—why didn't she make a floor bed like everyone else? Sleeping like this, aren't you too tired to panic?

With a puzzled expression, Hermione walked up to her quietly, reaching out to pat her on the shoulder to wake her up.

But presumably seeing her sleeping so soundly, Hermione shrank her hands back as if she couldn't bear to be disturbed when she was photographed. Just because of some thoughts in her heart, she still pursed her lips and patted Luna's shoulder.

"Wake up... Luna? Wake up..."

It was not difficult to wake up Luna, and after just two taps, she opened her eyes in a daze.

"Hermione?"

Subconsciously wiping the saliva from the corners of her mouth, she uttered Hermione's name with a slight lisp, apparently expressing doubts about her purpose of coming.

Seeing that she was awake, Hermione paused for a moment, and then said again:

"Luna, I want to discuss something with you."

"what?"

Luna nodded, showing a willingness to listen, as if she didn't mind at all that she came to wake her up so late.

But before she could react, Hermione, who looked left and right, pulled her up from the chair, and then took her by the hand and took her to the next bathroom.

After closing the door smoothly, Hermione turned around and said seriously:

"Actually, it's not so much a 'discussion', it's better to say that I want to 'please' you with one thing... Luna, after Maca comes back, go and persuade Maca!"

Probably because Hermione pulled her too fast, now Luna is still hugging her quilt, which makes her look a little bit stupid.

But I don't know if it was affected by Hermione's serious expression, her face was also a little more serious than usual.

To be honest, Luna's usual impression is not suitable for such a serious expression. Just like this, when her face matches the quilt in her arms, no matter how you look at it, it will only make people feel a little funny.

However, the following conversation between the two of them made it difficult to make people laugh.

"Maka?" Luna said quietly, "What do you want to persuade him?"

Hermione saw that she was getting serious, and said sincerely:

"You know that Maca left St. Mungo's yesterday? He just came back, and he looked tired—so tired that even he couldn't quite hide it."

"But I walked away for a while, but he left again... I don't know if he will come back intact this time, to be honest, I'm very worried now..."

Luna listened to Hermione's sincere narration, and then nodded, and a softness appeared in her eyes.

"You're worried too, aren't you?"

Hermione was keenly aware of her change, and immediately took her hand and asked.

"yes."

Luna nodded again, without denying it.

"Maca is working hard, for us and for everyone."

"Then can you persuade him to 'try less'?" Hermione asked quickly, "You can also understand that one day he will be unable to hold on if he does this... I believe you can understand too. But, I know I can't persuade him, I think about it, only you can—"

"Do not."

Before Hermione could finish speaking, Luna suddenly took a step back and pulled her hand out of Hermione's palm.

"I can't," her expression became more and more serious, and all the previous actions were serious, "Although I don't know if he will be willing to listen to my persuasion, but in any case, I will not be as you said. Do that!"

"You..." Hermione looked at her in amazement, and it took a long time before she couldn't help saying loudly, "Luna Lovegood! So you don't understand at all—yes, you haven't seen Maca like that , how could you understand how exhausted he is!"

"I thought you might be smarter and see better than anyone else, so I thought..."

However, at this moment, Luna's eyes were covered with a trance look as before, as if she had never changed.

"Hermione," she said gently, "it's you who don't understand."
