Chapter 1978

"Charlie came back just now."

At first, Ron said nothing more than that when he came to Hermione's tent. His purpose, of course, was just to mention it casually.

However, perhaps it was because he didn't want to think more about Percy that Ron would sometimes fill his head with something else. When talking to Charlie before, he had been thinking about how to fight the corpse when he returned to England... Now, when he mentioned it, he seemed to be half a beat slow and reconsidered the conversation with Charlie just now.

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

He sat down at the table in the tent and saw Hermione and Luna drawing Rune cards one by one. He asked subconsciously. Of course, in fact, he was still thinking about what Charlie said about Hogwarts alumni, a little absent-minded.

"No... I told you to try to learn ancient magic, but you can't learn it." Hermione said without looking up. "By the way, what did you just say? Charlie's back?"

"Well, yes!" said Ron vaguely, lying on the table. "I went to find bill. I said there were a group of people to pick up, so I had to discuss with him."

"Oh?" Hermione heard the speech, and then stopped her hand a little. She said curiously, "is it an asylum seeker? Where did he come back?"

"Asylum seekers? Well... Probably," said Ron, explaining immediately, "are the wizards who settled in Hogwarts. Charlie said that they were forced to move to the Yorkshire Valley, then suffered a corpse attack, and finally had to go all the way south to prepare to meet us -"

"Are they?"

Hearing this, Hermione finally stopped working with her head down. Instead, she turned her head and looked at Ron. She whispered to herself with some seriousness:

"They left Hogwarts? 'forced'? Did... Something happen to Hogwarts again?"

"Probably so!" Ron sighed. "This sudden change in the fog seems to happen all over Britain, and Hogwarts seems to --"

Hermione and Ron were still in Winchester when Charlie and old Aslan and other wizards were driven out of Hogwarts by Maka. In addition, Charlie came and went in a hurry and didn't care to mention it, so they obviously didn't know what happened, but naturally thought it should be the arrival of the devil.

But soon Hermione suddenly shook her head and frowned:

"No, I remember when I was in Weymouth, Ms. Neville stanson mentioned that Hogwarts was located on a deep mountain ridge and was not shrouded in fog. What happened in the fog before should not affect the school? HMM... Ron, did Charlie say that the corpse attacked Hogwarts?"

"Ah, it seems not. I remember he only said that the reason for giving up the Yorkshire valley was the living corpse and leaving Hogwarts... He didn't seem to say, and I forgot to ask."

Hermione listened and nodded again:

"I have to ask him for clarification. I was wondering if Marca would go to Hogwarts... Oh, it seems that he is not there, otherwise it would not have happened."

She said so, but did not find that Ron suddenly pursed his mouth.

"Hermione," he finally said after a little meal, "can't you... Don't mention Marca? At least before he reappears in front of us --"

"What's the matter?" Hermione was stunned when she heard Ron's words. "Why? Wait... Ron, do you really start to think that Marca will leave us? Oh, I see. It's gofein's words in Winchester that made you..."

"No!" Ron frowned. "I don't even remember what Miss Geoffrey said. It's all my own idea! And... Hermione, I don't trust Marca, but I think sometimes you... No, we all rely too much on Marca subconsciously! Don't you think?"

At this point, he couldn't help but show his hand, followed by another way:

"Not long ago, we said several times that we can't put all the burden on Marca's shoulders, and we have to work hard ourselves. It can be said that, in fact, we seem to be trying to do something on our own... But what's the truth? What have we done?"

"No, we didn't do anything!" Ron seemed a little angry, but he seemed very upset. "In the end, we went to find Maka... Why? We would be so useless..."

At the end, he couldn't help hammering himself in the thigh and said angrily:

"Especially myself!"

These words are like a summary of what everyone has done since this period of time. They are very real and cruel. His "summary" made Hermione speechless for a time.

After a moment of silence, Ron continued:

"So, we'd better forget Maka for a while! No matter where he is or what he does, we can't count on him again and again - I think he must be very tired and more tired than any of us."

Ron said so, and seemed to go on, and Hermione rarely did not refute or even add. However, just then, the curtain of the tent was suddenly opened by one hand.

"I don't know if Marca is tired, but it's related to him that we were forced to leave Hogwarts." Charlie suddenly came in from the outside and looked at the two people, "Hermione, you're right. Marca did go to Hogwarts!"

"What?"

She waited in Winchester for a long time without waiting for Marca. In the end, Hermione even gave up. But who knows now, he got the news of Marca so easily from Charlie's mouth.

"Marca is in Hogwarts? Here... So... Why? Old Mr. Aslan, why were they forced to leave Hogwarts?"

When Hermione asked, Charlie couldn't help frowning and murmuring:

"Because old jazz and I were kicked out by Marca himself!"

"It's impossible!"

This time, not only Hermione and Ron, but also Luna, who had been seriously drawing Rune cards since just now, suddenly raised her head and stared at Charlie at the door.
