Chapter 711 The Abnormal Miss Granger
"...Well, I understand. I will still negotiate with the International Federation of Wizards, and I will leave it to you on the school side, Professor McGonagall."
In the principal's office, Maca just discussed with McGonagall how to deal with the previous commotion.
Logically speaking, this kind of incident involving casualties is undoubtedly very bad for a game. Fortunately, thanks to Sarah, the solution was resolved in a timely manner, so there was no major confusion at the scene.
"Oh, that's right." After discussing with Professor McGonagall, Maca suddenly continued, "Madame Maxime and Butler Flamel should be back tomorrow. I think we should make final preparations for the reception."
"Really?" Professor McGonagall, who was sitting behind the desk, raised his head quickly after hearing it, "So, you have already replied?"
Maca then nodded.
"Just now," he said, "I went to West Tower and borrowed a barn owl . . . Well, if I had to say it, I'd rather it got there safely."
"There's nothing you can do about it," McGonagall shook her head, but then paused as if thinking of something, "...Ah, speaking of which, Mr. Potter came to look for you just now, and it looks like Is there something urgent?"
"Harry? That is, when I go to the Owl Shack to post a letter?"
When Maca heard the words, he immediately went through the recent events in his mind.
To be honest, the appearance of the bald old man was also a reminder to him, telling him that the magic world was not as peaceful as he imagined. But after quickly flipping through his memory, he couldn't find anything that would make Harry anxious.
"What's the hurry?" He couldn't help asking.
"I also asked Potter, but he didn't say anything." Professor McGonagall put down the quill in his hand, and said seriously as always, "At this age, there will always be troubles of one kind or another. You are about the same age as those children, and you You are their teacher, and I think there is no one better suited to guide them than you."
At this point, Mag's usual serious face also had a slightly more kind smile.
"If you have time, take the time to visit them... It's not just about studying, sometimes, even daily life needs a suitable mentor."
When Maca saw this, he couldn't help feeling emotional—the smiles on Professor McGonagall's face have increased significantly recently. If she was just like a strict teacher before, now she occasionally makes people feel more approachable.
"Oh, you're right, in fact, I'm also secretly watching them—" Maca also laughed, "After all, Harry and the others are my friends! Well, then I might as well go and see them now ..."
Although he wanted to find Harry to ask why he was looking for him, Maca's time was still precious. So after saying goodbye to Professor McGonagall, he immediately turned and left the principal's office.
Seeing that the door of the principal's office was closed again as Maca left, Professor McGonagall took a sip from the teacup by the table, but his eyes did not leave the opposite door.
"No one's life is perfect. Mr. Potter and the others may need a suitable 'life mentor' to review the past and see the future clearly, but you...why not?" She stared at the direction Maca left, said softly.
...
Almost at the moment Maca left the headmaster's office, Harry and Ron were sitting on either side of the same reading table, looking at each other silently. There seemed to be a tense atmosphere in the air in the library.
"Harry, you can't go anymore, the closing time is coming soon."
Although he didn't speak, Ron's eyes and expression conveyed this meaning to Harry. However, he no longer wanted to look at Mrs. Pince's face that looked like she was about to eat someone behind Harry.
"I know, but—"
Harry nodded quickly at Ron, also unwilling to say anything.
They both knew that if they didn't talk, there was nothing Mrs. Pince could do with them until closing time finally came.
But if he spoke at this moment, he would be kicked out of the library directly.
"Why don't we go see Hermione again?" Ron thought for a while, then closed his mouth, and turned his head in the direction of the bookshelf behind him.
"Ok."
Harry immediately nodded again, and stood up first.
When the two walked around the reading area to the large collection area, they could still clearly feel the sight from behind, which made them smile wryly and exchange a helpless look.
The collection of books in the Hogwarts library is amazing, because there is no clear selection criteria for the collection and storage of books. However, because of this, although the number of books here is dizzying, the quality of the content is uneven. The books that will be used in study and research are still a very small part after all.
Right now, the book collection area that Harry and Ron went to was the magic theory area where few students would take the initiative to search and read.
Of course, they would not go to that bookshelf on weekdays, because the books there are not only boring, but not all of them are correct. This is what Professor Flitwick mentioned to them in class, and I believe it can't be wrong.
But……
"Hermione."
After a long passage between the bookshelves, Harry and Ron finally found Hermione. Sure enough, Hermione's state was almost the same as the last time they came to see it - except that the book in her hand had changed again.
"Hermione, uh... I said, we should go..."
Harry's voice was kept quiet because he was still worried about being heard by Mrs. Pince.
Fortunately, even though he spoke surprisingly quietly, it was so quiet in the library that Hermione couldn't help but hear him. After all, the extreme situation where one's attention is so concentrated that one cannot hear other people's speech is not to say that it is absolutely impossible, but it is still very rare.
"Well, Harry?"
Hermione, who was immersed in the content of the book, raised her head when she heard the sound. She first looked at Harry and Ron, then tiptoed to look at the magic clock on the wall, and raised her eyebrows slightly .
"Oh, I was so absorbed in reading, I didn't expect it to be so late?"
Hermione sighed in surprise, her expression was relaxed, and it seemed that there was absolutely no reason for Harry and Ron to become anxious and worried.
Seeing that both of them were waiting in the aisle next to the bookshelf, Hermione immediately closed the book in her hand and stuffed it back on the bookshelf.
"Then let's go quickly! Otherwise, Mrs. Pince will come over to drive people away—"
She greeted Harry and Ron very naturally, and walked forward ahead of them. But behind her, in the eyes of Harry and Ron looking at her back, the heavy worry did not ease much.
Soon, the three of them hurried out of the library door under Mrs. Pince's cold gaze like a hawk hunting a rabbit.
"Oh, Mrs. Pince's eyes are really scary," Hermione chuckled. "Isn't it a good thing that students like to read? I really hope she doesn't..."
"Ah—" Ron responded casually, "Well, yes!"
As for Harry, in this case, he is actually not as eloquent as Ron, especially now Ron Weasley, who has become more and more used to examining himself and others at any time.
So, not knowing what to say, he simply closed his mouth.
Obviously, the atmosphere between the three has become a little more subtle...
However, Hermione didn't seem to notice this change at all, and she still walked forward with brisk steps as before.
But when the three of them continued to walk for a short distance in the empty corridor, Hermione suddenly slowed down and turned her head to look at Harry.
"By the way, Harry—" she said rather abruptly, "lend me your invisibility cloak for a while, can you? I need to use it at night."
"Uh."
Harry was stunned for a moment, he opened his mouth, but he didn't agree decisively.
"Well, that...is there something going on tonight?"
To be honest, he couldn't stand the nonsense he was talking about - isn't the answer obvious?
"Yeah, after turning off the lights, I want to go to the library to read some books..." Hermione said with a natural expression, and finally said, "Don't worry, I will pay attention to rest, after all, the body is also very important .”
Yes, it was because of this that it was difficult for Harry and Ron to persuade her. But they both knew very well that Hermione had spent almost a whole day in the library today, except for the auditorium and the bathroom, her hands never left the books for a moment.
"Hermione—"
Ron couldn't help but wanted to say something again, but when he saw Hermione's eyes suddenly looking at him, he couldn't speak the following words anymore.
Today's Hermione is undoubtedly abnormal, but this abnormality is not manifested in her behavior, but revealed intentionally or unintentionally in her eyes.
That look seemed to say, "Don't try to persuade me, or we might not be 'best friends' anymore."
"Harry?"
After glancing at Ron, Hermione looked at Harry again, obviously wanting to continue the topic of borrowing the Invisibility Cloak.
Harry was taken aback again, but finally had to nod.
"I see," he said helplessly, as if he had given up, "After the lights are turned off, wait for me in the common room, and I will take it for you..."
"Thank you so much!" Hermione smiled immediately, "I'm not very proficient at mastering the Disillusionment Curse. It would be great if I had your invisibility cloak."
Looking at the back of Hermione who turned around again and walked quickly to the stairs, Harry and Ron both sighed—they didn't know how many times they sighed today.
And at a corner where Harry and Ron couldn't see, Maca also looked at Hermione's leaving figure, frowning slightly.
