"Maka, let me help you catch these little guys."

"Hey! Sirius, don't talk about us like rabbits... We also wanted to find you secretly... ah no, I mean, we left the town temporarily in an 'open and fair' manner!"

"They were all sneaking around there, how can they be called aboveboard? If you hadn't just cast the silencing spell into the passage and didn't pay attention to what was behind you, maybe I wouldn't even have noticed that you had reached the entrance!"

"Oh, Sirius, we...we just want to test whether the passage is safe enough..."

Maka stood at the door of the observation room, looking at the guys in front of her who were more joking than arguing, and couldn't help but feel funny.

Obviously, Sirius was probably aware of Harry and others' concerns about him, but he was not the kind of hypocritical person, so he did not mention that incident deliberately.

However, in the face of these little guys who would even sneak out of the town to find themselves in extremely dangerous places like London in order to confirm whether they were safe or not. He who usually seems a bit casual and cold on the surface, also because

The warmth in my heart did not want to blame the three Harrys who were actually taking too many risks.

Of course, with this happy scene in front of him, although Maka secretly laughed in his heart, his face always maintained his usual indifference.

Even vaguely, there seems to be some seriousness.

"Okay, okay," seeing Harry and Ron talking nonsense beside Sirius, Hermione couldn't help but pull them secretly, and then whispered behind them, "Stop talking nonsense, Maka.

Seems a little angry."

"Eh?"

After Hermione's reminder, the two of them quickly and cautiously glanced at Maka's face, and then immediately closed their mouths firmly.

Although they were in a good mood now after confirming that Sirius was completely fine, so they joked with Sirius. But when they thought about this time, although they had carefully prepared themselves mentally with the help of Hermione, overall,

But it is still indispensable to be reckless, so it seems not surprising that Maka would be angry.

After all, it is a matter of life!

"Have you realized your mistake?"

Since Sirius temporarily softened his heart and pretended to be a good guy, he could only be the bad guy. Looking at these friends who had finally calmed down, Maka asked casually with a sullen face.

"Well, I know I was wrong." "I understand."

"Hermione, what about you?"

"Uh... well, I too... know I was wrong."

Seeing that the three of them all admitted their mistakes honestly without a word of excuse, Maka immediately waved her hand and said:

"Then, in order to prevent you from running around again, I will leave the important care tasks of the two observation rooms to you. Remember, this is very important and must be monitored and recorded 24 hours a day.

.As soon as there is any abnormality, send someone to me or Lu Ping to report, do you understand?"

"OK."

After Hermione agreed without hesitation, Harry and Ron quickly nodded to express their understanding, and then Maka added:

"You have all heard it in the halls of the Ministry of Magic before, so I believe you should also understand the importance of these two ladies... take care of them, and if necessary, call Ginny or Hannah

Come here one."

After all, the two survivors inside are both women. Harry and Ron are still very inconvenient in their daily care. It’s just that the current caregivers in Spiral Town are not very sufficient. If you don’t want to trouble those refugees, you can just

I can rely on my own people to help.

After that, Maka carefully warned Hermione and the other three about the situation in the observation room and the two survivors, and then waved to Sirius.

"Okay, let's go to Lupine's place first... I think he must be worried about you too. Only when he sees that you are fine can he relax and continue doing things."

Just as he said this, Maka suddenly looked back after taking two steps forward, with a smile on her lips.

"By the way, by the way, there are no security issues with the town's exit passage. Everything you said in the chirping at the entrance was recorded verbatim by the Silent Bird."

"Eh"

Listening to the three overlapping moans of annoyance, Maka left the underground corridor of New St. Mungo's with Sirius with satisfaction, and went to the Ministry of Magic to find Lupin.

"Hermione," Ron couldn't help but whispered after being stunned for a moment, "You think...we were all working in vain?"

"Otherwise, what do you think?" Hermione sighed, "I'm afraid, Maka knows exactly what we are thinking and doing... Even if we don't run into Sirius, we will never escape."

"Then...what's going on with Neville?"

…

Just when Ron was confused about Neville, Neville himself still knew nothing about Sirius' return.

At the moment, although he and Luna had returned to the big house where he was staying temporarily, he started to eat breakfast in a daze at Luna's greeting.

But compared to Luna who was eating happily, he obviously felt a little bit unsatisfied.

As he stuffed the unsmeared bread into his mouth one after another, he was completely immersed in his thoughts, and he didn't even notice that his mouth was already so dry that he couldn't swallow.

"Neville?"

Luna had already filled her stomach and was drinking Gordigon tea while looking curiously at Neville, whose mouth was so dry that crumbs fell out.

"Aren't you thirsty? Is it some new special ability you've learned?"

"ah?"

Upon hearing this, Neville came to his senses for a moment, but when he opened his mouth, more dry crumbs immediately spewed out, causing Luna, who was sitting opposite, to jump up from her chair and hide away.

"Wow, it's like a sand wolf rat that can spray sand... so awesome!"

After saying this, Luna saw that Neville was suddenly busy picking up the cup and filling his mouth with water. She immediately seemed to have lost interest, picked up the tableware she had used, and ran to the sink to wash it.

Suddenly, there was only one person left at the dining table. Neville scratched his head apologetically, but soon fell into deep thought again.

For him, the situation on Harry's side was obviously more concerning. Although he had left with Luna as if running away, he was still quite worried in his heart.

Based on his understanding of the three Harrys, and the "unintentional reminder" he let slip, the next three guys might... no, they would definitely find a way to leave Spiral Town.

And when he thought about it, he, who was already uneasy, felt even more guilty.
