Chapter 837

"Sorry, I don't want to dance. Please find someone else!"

When Hermione said this, her expression was mixed with some... Um, some strange?

Maka didn't know how to describe that feeling. He just found that this was the first time he couldn't understand other people's ideas at all.

But anyway, when a girl suddenly leaves you, whether to catch up or not is always a big problem.

If Hermione finally chooses to let go, Maka's active approach will embarrass the other party; If for other reasons, it would be bad for him not to find out.

In the end, Maka still took a step towards Hermione's departure - he couldn't let it go. After all, Haier Boke has been hiding in the dark for a long time. It's Maka's responsibility as a professor to pay attention to everyone around him.

"Hermione -"

He gently pushed aside the crowd and pulled the girl's sleeve on the side of the corridor at the door of the small hall. When the delicate gauze cloth was held in his hand, it seemed to touch people's skin, which made him loose as soon as the girl stopped.

"... Maka."

The girl turned around with her little mouth closed, stepped back a little, then only called Maka's name and stopped talking.

Now it's late at night. Although there are windows and a row of torches on the wall, the surrounding environment is still a little dark.

Hermione's head dropped slightly, and her eyes seemed to fall on Marca's toes, so that most of her face was quietly covered by the shadow.

Maka used her sense of the magic to check her condition, but she didn't find anything unusual.

"Hermione, are you... What's the matter?"

What just happened is more or less embarrassing for Maka. Now he is catching up, but he can't think of what to ask for a moment.

But Hermione soon shook her head.

"Nothing, nothing happened. Don't worry!"

"I just... Want to be alone for a while."

Her voice was calm, but Marca found something repressed in it.

Marca knew that if he continued to ask, Hermione would say the classic rejection lines such as "I want to be quiet".

But no matter how much Maka wants to know who "quiet" is, it's obvious that she shouldn't pursue it anymore.

Unfortunately, because the last time Haier Bo invaded Harry's body is still in sight, this time Marca is determined not to let go of any abnormality easily.

"Er -" he hesitated, "I know you must have your own reason to run out suddenly, but... I think you know, in this case, I can't leave you alone now."

Because Hermione had retreated a little earlier, there were still several steps between them. As Maka said this, she wanted to come closer and try to feel the magic state in Hermione more carefully.

But it was Maka's step forward that made Hermione step back. It was obvious that she didn't want Maka too close to herself.

"Don't come here -" she stretched out her hand, but then shook her head. "No, I mean... Give me some space, will you?"

Hermione's tone was a little hasty, but before Maka could think too much, she continued:

"Yes, I can see what you mean... After your instructions last time, I also know that I need to pay attention to various details and hidden dangers during this period. But today... OK? I have to... Um, adjust myself."

When Maka heard the speech, she suddenly felt that she seemed to begin to understand Hermione's mood.

Recently, Hogwarts has been quite quiet, the days are as usual, and nothing strange has happened. However, under the shadow of the last incident that has not been completely resolved, as insiders, they will always accumulate some gloomy feelings over time.

Maka herself is the most representative example.

What's more, Hermione has always been smart and will take the initiative to think about those messy problems. Just as she studied day and night to improve herself, Hermione's strengths and weaknesses are actually hidden here.

However, understanding belongs to understanding. In the absence of determining whether Hermione's anomaly is related to Haier Bo, Maka, who has always been cautious, does not allow herself to compromise for anything.

"Hermione," he took another step, "how about saying something instead of keeping it in your heart? Even if it's not me, it can be your roommate, friend or others..."

"No, it's not what you think!"

Hermione finally couldn't help it. She walked quickly to Marka with a complex expression on her face, and then just broke Marka's arm and made him turn his back to himself.

"Marca, you're right, but you'd better go to Harry and them first! I'm not going anywhere. I'll go back to my bedroom and go to bed. Shall we see you tomorrow?"

After that, she pushed Maka's back and pushed Maka forward for several steps. Then she took several steps back again and left Maka's reach.

Maka took a few small steps along the strength she gave, and hesitated to stop.

He subconsciously turned back to see what Hermione looked like now. But when I saw the moonlight outside the window on one side of the corridor, I suddenly had an idea in my heart.

"Hermione, Hagrid came to me just now. Did you see that?"

"... well."

Hermione paused for a moment before she answered softly.

"I think Hagrid found what I told him to look for... Do you want to see it together?" Marca asked slowly. "They can only be seen at night - I think you'll like them."

Probably aware of Marca's stubbornness and knowing that he won't go until he knows his situation today, Hermione can only look down helplessly after pondering for a while.

"Well... Wait a minute and don't look back for the time being."

Before she finished speaking, Maka suddenly noticed a magic wave behind her - Hermione seemed to have cast a very simple silent spell.

Because the simpler the spell, the lower the integrity of the rule runes contained in it, so that Maka didn't know what the spell was.

"Well, let's go to Hagrid's cabin..."

Maka looked back and looked at Hermione who was the first to go to the hall. Suddenly she found that she seemed to be more relaxed than just now?

"What spell is that?"

Although I can't be sure, Maka is sure it's a modern spell. If it is more ancient magic, he can easily know according to the traces of the rules.

After a little pondering, Maka stopped and immediately raised her legs to follow.

……

The moon is very bright tonight, because there are no clouds and the starry sky is particularly clear.

However, the comet named "Hale Pope" can only be seen for a little while at dusk recently because of the position of celestial bodies. If you want to observe it at night, you may have to wait a few more months.

And then

Marca and Hermione were walking on the grass in the moonlight. Neither of them spoke. But Maka occasionally looked up and thought about the wonderful comet far below the horizon.

Before long, they came to the hunting house one after another. It can be seen that there is an orange fire in the window, which slightly dispels the coolness outside.

The snow did not accumulate much in the previous two days, but the process of snow melting will bring more cold to the environment. The cold night wind blowing across their cheeks seemed to tell them that winter had come.

Marca took two quick steps to catch up with Hermione, but before he knocked on the door, he heard something in the yard behind the hut.

This immediately attracted his attention.

"Don't go into the house, let's go around - Hagrid is probably in the back now!"

Sure enough, when Maka saw the fence in the backyard first, he immediately knew he was right.

It's a group of lunatic beasts.

There are about fourteen or five of them. They are all light gray and smooth skin. Their long neck is connected with their round body, and there are four thin legs below.

When Hermione, who was following Marca, came to the fence, the lovely creatures with big eyes on their heads immediately made her sigh.

"Is it a lunatic beast?"

These small creatures are not big, and the tallest is half the height of ordinary people. At the moment, Hagrid stood among them like a real giant, which was particularly obvious in contrast.

At present, Hagrid was feeding the little guys. When a handful of feed kneaded into small balls was gently scattered by Hagrid, the lunatics gathered together with small jumps.

With their natural ability, they control the small meat balls above their heads, and then stretch their necks and open their mouths to grab food. Look at their lovely appearance. Even Maka's face has a knowing smile.

"The book says that moonmaniacs can only be seen in several special farms, and those farms are forbidden to visit... Where did Hagrid find these?"

Hermione was first intoxicated with the lovely girls bathed in the moonlight, and then began to make her old habit of asking the truth.

"I don't know," Marca said. "Actually, I'm going to ask Hagrid! Come on... Of course, keep your voice down and don't scare those shy little guys."

If the wild lunatic goes to hide in the forest during the day and at night without moonlight, it is entirely because they are shy.

But just looking at how close these lunatic beasts are to Hagrid, Maka knows that they must have been raised by wizards.

The fence in the backyard of the hunting house is not high. Originally, Hagrid only planted land and raised flebber caterpillars here. Now Marka and Hermione crossed it easily.

"Hagrid -"

Marca, who was walking in front, called after getting closer.
