"Let's go, let's go somewhere else!"
At the door of the History of Magic classroom, Maka greeted Hermione and Luna to go out. After bidding farewell to the rather indifferent Professor Binns, the three of them walked slowly in the corridor, exchanging words with each other about the tallness and strength of the giants just now.
This feeling made Maka unconsciously think of the end of a movie theater in the Muggle world.
But after walking a few steps, Luna suddenly changed the topic very unexpectedly:
"Oh, Maka! Did you close the door when you came out just now?"
"...it's closed, what's wrong?"
In Luna's mind, logic is obviously not a particularly important thing. For this reason, if you want to understand why she said that sentence, in most cases, you have to ask the previous sentence to get the answer.
Seeing Maka ask, Luna blinked and said:
"I'm wondering if Professor Binns hasn't opened the big basin where he can read stories because he can't open the door himself... You see, in fact, he has already prepared everything."
This statement seemed a bit funny. For example, Hermione on the side thought that Luna was probably letting her imagination run wild in her own world again.
But this time, Maka actually nodded slightly.
"Actually, you can say that," he chuckled. "Of course, it's not just opening the door, there are many things that need help. Professor Binns must have found an assistant. And right now, he is probably waiting. The assistant has passed."
As for who Old Binsi asked for help, he didn't know.
In fact, if there weren't so many things to do, Maka would still be willing to be this assistant. Just because of some established reasons, he no longer had much time to do that.
"... I suggest, how about going to the astronomy classroom? Professor Sinistra has set up a 'starry sky cafe', and it seems that a lot of people went there yesterday - she has pancakes and fruity milk baked by herself in the morning, I think it's okay Go taste it!”
In fact, the Astronomy Tower is still a bit far from here, but Sinista's snacks are indeed very popular. Hermione and Luna heard this and quickly agreed with his idea.
It's a pity that due to the presence of a certain two people, the Starry Sky Cafe, which was originally designed to be very romantic by Sinistra, is now filled with an awkward atmosphere.
…
The astronomy classroom is located in the Astronomy Tower of Hogwarts, and has the largest teaching environment in the entire school. In addition to a large classroom that occupies the entire tower floor, even the platform at the top of the tower belongs to the astronomy class.
At this moment, many starlights are lingering in the huge classroom, turning it into an infinitely reduced and wonderful universe.
This is a star map phantom created by astronomy professor Sinistra himself. Every star is where they should be, and they all move at an extremely slow speed according to specific laws.
But the most noteworthy thing is that most of the lighting in this 'starry sky cafe' is provided by the high central sun.
"Ahem... This is the disaster star we saw in the sky before. I also explained in class that although it is called a 'disaster star', it does not necessarily herald the coming of disaster. Instead of always Instead of worrying about disaster, we might as well appreciate its beauty—"
At this moment, Sinistra was standing on the high platform in the middle, pointing at the comet with a long tail and explaining softly.
It can be seen very intuitively from this three-dimensional star map that the earth, sun and comets are currently almost in a straight line, which is why the so-called "disaster star" has not been seen at all recently.
Both students and guests from outside the school are obviously very interested in this.
As for why she coughed dryly before saying this, well... it was actually because something happened just now that made everyone in the classroom feel a little embarrassed.
"Weasley... Sir, please calm down. In fact, this is all my fault... I shouldn't have gone to the dance dressed like that..."
In a position that should be quite inconspicuous, Ron and Troyer sat face to face at a small round table. At this moment, the former pursed his lips tightly, while the latter stumbled and kept admitting his mistake.
only.
"No!"
Ron couldn't help but speak again, but this time he was quiet enough compared to the growl that attracted everyone's attention just now.
"I just want you to stop doing this! If you keep apologizing to me like this, it will become difficult for me to refuse - if you really want this relationship that shouldn't exist to end, I hope you will still... "
As he talked, Ron felt that nothing was right no matter what he said, and finally stopped.
In fact, he knew in his heart that doing so was unfair to Troyer.
Because it is obvious that although Troyer always apologizes and says that he should not dress up as a girl to contact him and deceive him, this is definitely just a lie that goes out of his way.
Regardless of gender orientation, when a person falls in love with another person, the feeling is undoubtedly difficult to let go.
However, Ron could not accept this "immaculate love" that even made him feel a little tortured.
"Sorry," he suddenly lowered his face slightly and said feebly, "I thought we could work out a solution to this matter together, so I invited you here... But it turned out that I overestimated my By myself."
"Oh, please... please don't say that."
Troyer was wearing his original male wizard robe today, but with his delicate and delicate figure, he looked like a tomboy.
Hearing him hesitate, Ron subconsciously glanced across the table again, and then quickly brought his eyes back to the table.
"But it's a man."
While Ron was secretly complaining with complicated emotions, Professor Sinistra was still talking in the middle. She had already told a story about the stars from the comet, and her chatty tone made many guests listen attentively.
But even so, there were still many eyes drifting towards Ron and Ron intentionally or unintentionally.
Suddenly, with a soft sound, the trap door on the ground was lifted. Immediately following, three figures came up from below.
"McLean, you're here? Welcome... and Miss Granger and Miss Lovegood, come here and get some pancakes!"
Sinistra suddenly stopped the story he was telling and greeted the visitor with a smile. Immediately, most of the people here turned their eyes to that side, and finally no one looked at Ron and Troyer anymore.
When he heard that it was Maka and the others, Ron couldn't help but look in the direction of the trap door, but his head hung lower instead.
Fortunately, Maka didn't seem to notice Ron's presence.
After he took Hermione and Luna to get some milk for pancakes, he just looked around a few times, then randomly found a seat and sat down.
"Oh, this star map image is really good! Professor Sinister, has there been any new progress in the research on the astrological circle array?"
Naturally, the astrological circle maca on the bald old man was not wasted. Although he did not do much alchemy and had little research on astronomy, he would not waste it just because he was not interested.
Nowadays, astronomy is in decline as a whole, and stargazing and calculations are even far inferior to Muggles, but he is still willing to see it promote the restoration of knowledge to a certain extent.
"There is some progress," Sinistra nodded repeatedly. "That is a treasure that combines ancient astronomy and ancient alchemy. I am really grateful to you for giving me such valuable information... However, it is a bit too much for me." It’s too profound, and every step you take can be said to be full of difficulties... "
The two chatted for a while, but did not continue the discussion in depth. Soon Sinista continued the short story he was telling just now, and Maka turned to taste the pancakes on the plate with the two girls.
And as Sinistra's story began again, in addition to the little wizards who were a little fascinated, the people who were very curious about Ron and Troyer also peeked into the corner over there again.
A humming whisper that was deliberately suppressed suddenly made the atmosphere here become a little more subtle.
"...What happened?" It didn't take long for the attentive Hermione to notice this. "She glanced around quickly, but she didn't immediately discover the location of Ron, who was in a very inconspicuous position."
Maka then shook her head.
"Don't worry...trust me, it would be better not to care about it right now."
But Maka also knew that the more he said this, the more curious Hermione would probably be. As for Luna, her thoughts had already gone to Ron and Troyer.
When Hermione noticed that Luna was looking enthusiastically in the direction behind her, although she hesitated for a few seconds because of what Maka said, she couldn't help but look back soon.
"oh-"
She immediately twisted her neck back, and then sighed helplessly.
"Why are they sitting together again? Could it be that Ron is really planning to..."
"No, I don't think so."
Maka shrugged and then looked in that direction. From his position, he could clearly see the embarrassment on the face of the boy named "Troyer" and his thin, slightly white lips.
Opposite him, Ron's expression was a bit unclear - because this guy lowered his head again!
"I think Ron is trying to make things clear to the other party this time... However, he seems to have failed?" Maka said thoughtfully, "Well, I really can't do anything this time, I hope he can Come up with a good idea!"
Before he finished speaking, a "clang" sound suddenly sounded not far away. Everyone turned around, only to find the sound of a chair falling to the ground.
But at that moment, Maca saw a particularly horrifying scene - Ron actually held Troyer's hand
