Despite how relaxed Maka had been when teasing Harry and Ginny just now, his mood was actually quite solemn at the moment.
After leaving the young couple, his brisk and bright expression suddenly faded away, and he walked step by step towards Luna's ward in silence.
Speaking of which, in fact, he had just returned to St. Mungo's. It took him a lot of energy and time to study the rules of time and formulate a rescue plan, so that it was not until dawn that he finally finalized the plan. down.
"Maka—"
You didn't even need to look back to know that it was Harry who suddenly turned back to look for him for no apparent reason.
Maka grinned slightly and flexed the muscles on her face, then turned around with a smile again, and raised her eyebrows slightly as she watched Harry running towards the corner in a hurry.
"What's wrong? Aren't you and Ginny going to live with Neville's parents?"
"Oh, yes! But before that, I have to tell you something..." Harry stopped in front of him and said immediately, "Thomas and I encountered a large group of unidentified people on the way here. Wizards—they all rode broomsticks and flew over our heads at very fast speeds.”
"Is it a low-altitude flight?"
After Maka heard what Harry said, her focus seemed a little strange, but Harry nodded quickly.
"Yes, it flew very low... because it looked like it was rushing toward us, and I almost slashed it with my sword!"
"Really?" Maka frowned and thought for a while, "To be able to fly so fast at a low altitude in the gray fog outside, there must be something to assist... By the way, they look like Haierbo Someone?"
"No, it's not like that!" Harry said immediately after hearing this, "About this, I also thought about it at the time, so I took a closer look. Although those wizards ignored people, they did not attack others at all. Meaning... Oh, and I think I saw a familiar male wizard there."
"Looks familiar? Who?" Maka asked.
"Uh..." Harry recalled it again, and then said with some uncertainty, "That seems to be... Chris Johnson?"
"who?"
Hearing him say such a name, Maka became even more confused.
"Eh? Don't you know Chris?" Harry immediately spread his hands and said, "'Muscle Tank Chris'! The ace batsman of the American Finch Birds, he once knocked down five of the enemy team in a game. The player’s amazing record! I—”
"Oh, okay, okay, I get it!"
Maka waved her hand to stop Harry who was getting excited at the mention of Quidditch. Then, he thought about it a little strangely.
"American Quidditch players...could it be that the MACUSA also sent people to support them?"
To be honest, this possibility is not impossible.
However, because this disaster is quite serious, if it is not handled well, it may evolve into a large-scale war at any time.
Obviously, in this case, it would be good for the United States to maintain a neutral attitude of non-aggression and non-support. Even if the relationship between the two parties has been good in the past years, the current president of the Magic Congress of the United States may not dare to easily send people to provide cross-border support.
After thinking about it secretly, Maka nodded slightly towards Harry, and then said:
"I know about this... Well, since those unidentified wizards would choose such a bold low-altitude flight, it means they are not afraid of being discovered. I think Lupine should have received the latest news."
After saying this, Maka patted Harry's arm and suddenly turned around and said:
"Go find your Ginny!"
…
"Tuk-tuk."
Not long after Harry left, everyone heard another knock on the door. After hearing this, the friends couldn't help but look at each other.
"Did Harry forget something here?"
Hermione ignored Ron who was making wild guesses, stood up immediately, and walked straight to the door. As the door opened, she saw Maka appearing in front of her.
"Although it's not dawn yet, but... Good morning, everyone." Maka smiled at Hermione, and then said, "Stop standing at the door, let me in!"
I don't know what Hermione was thinking. After seeing Maka, her eyes became a little complicated. When Maka reminded her, she quickly took a step back as if she had just realized it.
"Oh, please, please come in..."
"Huh?" Maka glanced at her again in confusion, "Hermione, what's wrong with you? Why are you so polite to me all of a sudden?"
"Ah... no, it's nothing."
Seeing that she didn't seem to want to say anything, Maka could only shrug her shoulders, then naturally raised her legs and walked inside. After entering the door, he closed the door with a wave of his hand.
As soon as he entered the ward, his eyes first fell on Luna lying on the hospital bed. After staying on that slightly pale face for a few seconds, he moved his gaze to Thomas on the side.
Regardless of whether the black mist on the other person's body is his own "masterpiece", this guy looks so conspicuous that it's hard not to notice.
"What is he doing? Why is he sitting there motionless?"
"Oh, this Mr. Thomas is asleep."
It was Percy who answered Maka's question.
"Sleeping?" After a brief glance, Maka raised the corners of her lips and said with a chuckle, "It seems that Mr. Thomas has put in a lot of effort this time. It's really hard on him."
To be honest, these conversations between Maka and Percy didn't sound surprising, but Hermione and Delphi both frowned slightly immediately afterwards.
The next moment, Delphi in the corner did not speak, but Hermione spoke.
"Maka," she asked doubtfully, "aren't you able to sense other people's states easily? Why... could it be that you are injured?"
"Ah?" Maka was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but secretly sigh at Hermione's sharp mind, "No, no, no, I'm fine! Just because I needed it, I temporarily put away my perception ability - don't worry, It’s really okay!”
As he spoke, he hammered his chest hard, with a smile on his face meant to comfort the other person.
But how could Hermione feel reassured so easily? She hurriedly approached Maka, patted his arm and touched his leg. After discovering that no injuries seemed to be detected, he breathed a small sigh of relief.
"I said it's okay! You still don't believe it..." Maka smiled helplessly and shook her head. "But thank you for your concern."
After saying this, he paused and walked straight to the hospital bed.
It is worth mentioning that on the way there, he seemed to inadvertently glance in the direction of Delphi, who was always sitting in the corner and not saying much.
It can be seen that Delphi's beautiful eyes seem to contain an indescribable complaint.
"First of all, there is good news!" Maka stood next to Luna and said directly without looking at Delphi's expression, "I have found a way to save Luna... If nothing happens, If something unexpected happens, I should be able to get her to open her eyes again before dawn."
When hearing his words, Delphi's face had a hint of unspeakable emotions. To be honest, her mood at this moment was so messed up that she couldn't even sort it out.
Is it concern for his father? Or confused about the future? Or...are you hesitating whether you should try to stop it again
For her, even if she fell out with everyone else present, it was enough as long as "father" knew what was going on.
And even this time Maka would blame her... Although it would definitely make her feel very heartbroken, there was nothing she could do about it.
As a daughter who loves her father deeply, she is willing to sacrifice everything to ensure his safety.
While Delphi's thoughts were confusingly intertwined, there was almost no hesitation on Maka's part. After conveying to everyone that he had a way to "wake up" Luna, he then said:
"However, to make sure nothing goes wrong, I have to take Luna away for a while... Well, I will take her away after Harry and Ginny come back."
"That means you won't leave just yet?" Ron asked immediately, "Then... can you tell us what the specific method is?"
"Oh, no! If you want it to go smoothly, it's best not to say anything until it's done."
After that, Maka simply sat down on the edge of Luna's bed, spread her hands towards Ron and the others and said:
"At this point... you haven't had breakfast yet, right? I happen to have some food here, do you want to eat some together - and you can save some breakfast points for St. Mungo's by the way."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly took out a picnic basket from his waist, then opened the lid and took out a ham sandwich from it.
After he took one first, Fred and George who were not far away immediately ran over and picked up the meal basket, happily sharing it with everyone.
"Oh, are these all for us?"
"We want them all!"
Although Duihuobao is a little more stable than before - they all have wives after all, they still show their adventurous nature from time to time. When Maka saw this, she could only wave her hand and said:
"Okay! If you want it, take it. I still have some dry food here... Although those things are not very delicious, at least I am very hungry!"
Just halfway through speaking, Maka saw Fred who was distributing pastries and suddenly handed a piece of chocolate bread to Delphi. However, Delphi only raised her hand subconsciously, but quickly retracted it.
Then, she pursed her lips and said softly:
"No, I'm not hungry."
