This is indeed a long-lost reunion. But obviously, for anyone present, it should not be used to reminisce and release family and friendship.
Yes, even for Mrs. Weasley.
Just like the perseverance and drive she showed after learning about Percy's death, Maka's unexpected awakening brought about a turnaround in the disaster situation, and "taking advantage of the situation to counterattack" has become a key factor for teachers and students at Hogwarts. The consensus of the three natural alliance forces of the refugee community and the Granger camp.
And everyone here was naturally formed based on the common vision of the big counterattack that was bound to take place next.
"Maka!"
After silently staring at the figure with Professor Sprout for a moment, even though there were still too many questions in her heart that needed to be answered, Charlotte quickly put aside all of them. .
No matter how many doubts there are, as long as she decides to trust the other party, there will no longer be any reason for Charlotte to delay.
And this was actually the only advice Professor McGonagall gave her before she came here.
"Next, have you decided to set foot on the 'original battlefield' again?" Seeing that the conversation between Professor Flitwick and Maka seemed to have come to an end, Charlotte suddenly said, "Bring it with you too. Me! I think you need a battlefield secretary."
Charlotte said this loudly, and except for Maka, everyone else in the camp also heard her voice, which attracted everyone's attention.
Soon, the surrounding conversations disappeared, and the venue gradually became quiet.
Obviously, although Charlotte's words came out of the blue, they were not without reason - the so-called "battlefield secretary" is a person who assists the commander in leading the army in combat and perfecting various work details.
This time, Maka had earlier announced that he would launch a counterattack. Everyone knew that he was preparing to lead a magic army composed of the three major families' coalition forces to launch an offensive against this disaster.
But who will it take in the end? How many people will you bring in total
There is no definite statement on this yet.
You know, before that, it was the first battlefield, the disaster place of old Britain, that daunted many European forces, large and small! Except for Hermione and the rest of the group, there is currently no second group of people who can come out of there alive! Even among the elite team of North American wizards secretly dispatched by the "Masonry Workshop" affiliated with Ilvermorny in the United States, only one person survived in the end -
That's because John Stewart happened to meet Hermione's friends.
And more importantly, Hermione, Harry and others are here now! They are very clear about the current situation of the disaster area. But it is precisely because they know the current situation there that they understand better that it will be very difficult to counterattack.
After all, even they were only operating in the southeastern area of the disaster area in the UK. As for what is further north... I remember that the demon Greedy who claimed to be Maka mentioned a certain name repeatedly. Other than that, there is really not much information.
"Battlefield Secretary?"
Maka nodded slightly to Professor Flitwick in front of her, and after temporarily ending the previous greetings, he also turned around.
But he looked at Charlotte and thought for a moment, and then turned to look in the direction of Hermione a little further away - when he caught a glimpse of Hermione's face, which was slightly solemn due to many associations in an instant, he also took the opportunity to He smiled at the other person, then looked at the former again and said:
"Oh, do you all think that I will be the commander of this counterattack?"
After saying this and receiving surprised looks from almost everyone, including Charlotte, Maka smiled and waved her hand:
"No, no, no! I think everyone has misunderstood... Yes, this Czech rescue operation was indeed led by me, but that doesn't mean that the subsequent counterattack will also be? In fact, I have already asked Hermione to restart it. She has formed the 'European Wizards Resistance Alliance', and she will be the commander-in-chief of this arduous battle in the subsequent counterattack!"
"M-Maka, wait—"
Hearing this, Hermione over there seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted by Maka raising her hand and waving lightly.
Then he looked at Charlotte and said:
"I think that the request you just made must be more than just your personal thoughts, right? It should also involve Professor McGonagall... or the attitude of Hogwarts. Well, thank you professors for your trust for me! However, This time, you will be Hermione's backing - she will need you as her 'battlefield secretary'."
Maka's words are undoubtedly very surprising, because everyone almost thought that he, who has returned and has shown even more amazing magical abilities on the battlefield, will naturally become the focus of everyone's attention just like in the past. main character. Even though he is still burdened with a series of doubts that make everyone worried, this is the only thing that will never change.
And who is the protagonist of this counterattack
Naturally, he is the leader who can lead everyone to the initial battlefield, gather everyone's strength, and put an end to this monstrous disaster!
"how about you?"
After everyone was stunned for a while, the living corpse boy Rebes who had been standing in the corner from the beginning suddenly asked the question that everyone wanted to ask.
However, Maka didn't seem to be too surprised by this question...including the fact that the first person to ask this question was Rebes.
Everyone saw him shrugging his shoulders and saying rather helplessly:
"Me? Of course I will be one of the many combat forces commanded by Hermione! Otherwise, what? Don't worry, I won't be lost again!"
"But you can obviously do it by yourself!"
This time, Hermione finally got the chance to speak out. But it was obvious that her words were not much different in essence from Rebes's question.
Overall, she didn't believe that Maka would leave this matter to others - she had gradually begun to accept Maka's return, but at this time, she began to feel hesitant again .
Is the person in front of me really Maka
"Can you really rest assured that the fate of the whole of Europe... and even all mankind is in my hands?" The smile on Maka's face remained unchanged, still calm with a little helplessness, and he was like this Looking at Hermione, he said, "Look, it's like this, just like this look now."
"No, Maka! No, I-"
Hearing this, Hermione seemed to realize what the hesitation on her face meant. Her expression suddenly changed, and she felt a little at a loss for a moment.
