"Write well! Maka said, it must not be less than five feet. Hannah and I are watching! Write quickly, I have to go to the observation room to change shifts with Ginny later."

"Ouch! Stop poking, I'm writing? It hurts...it hurts!"

In the living room, Luna and Hannah were supervising Neville, watching him write a somewhat inexplicable report on his "experience with magic traps".

To be honest, Neville didn't even know what to write... Should he write about the embarrassing experience of "hanging upside down for a long time will make your head swell"? And he actually had to write it in standard line spacing.

A full five feet of parchment.

Seriously, only a ghost would want to read this kind of smelly and long report!

However, this is a punishment after all. Even if the content is so boring that the writer himself will feel sleepy, he still has to finish writing his thoughts honestly.

"Oops! Luna, stop poking me...it's refreshing, but don't poke me."

Because Neville's twisting movements when being poked were very funny, Luna couldn't help but poke his lower back again and again while staring at him. As long as his quill stopped, he would definitely be poked.

For a moment, Neville would start twisting as if he was electrocuted.

"Luna, just two pokes is enough."

Hannah seemed a little distressed by the strange "torture" Neville was undergoing. After watching it for a while, she finally couldn't help but reach out and pull Luna's arm, which was trying to poke Neville.

"One more, just the last one"

"oh!"

Just when Neville was poked and jumped up again with a cry, holding his lower back and looking embarrassed, there was a sudden knock on the door from the front door, which temporarily rescued him from the sea of ​​misery.

“Tuk-tuk-tuk.”

"Huh? Who's back?"

Luna said this, and finally left from behind Neville, ran to the door and opened it.

"Who are you?"

"Ah, I am Jayden James from the Ministry of Magic. I was sent here by Mr. Minister."

"Oh, Mr. James..." Luna nodded slightly, then tilted her head again and said, "Who?"

Jayden, who was asked "Who" twice in a row by Luna, immediately said with a grimace:

"Anyway, I'm just a little person working in the Ministry of Magic. It's normal for Miss Lovegood not to know me. Please don't worry about it... Well, in fact, I came to Mr. MacLean on behalf of Minister Scrimgeour. May I ask?

Is he here?"

"Looking for Maka?"

When Luna heard this, she immediately shook her head.

"You should go to the Ministry of Magic building to find him..." As she was speaking, she suddenly paused, then glared and said, "Oh, by the way, you came from the Ministry of Magic?"

"Yes, yes," Jayden nodded hurriedly, "Mr. MacLean is not in the hall, and he has not been found anywhere in the Ministry of Magic building. That is why I wanted to come here to look for him."

"Then I don't know!" Luna shrugged, "He's not here anyway... But don't worry, it's normal to not be able to find Maka, and we often can't find him. After a while, he will

He will probably run out on his own!"

"Not here either?"

When the other party heard this, he immediately seemed very troubled and scratched his head in distress.

"Okay then, I'll look elsewhere... Miss Lovegood, thank you."

"You're welcome!" Luna waved her hand. Seeing that the other party was about to turn around and leave, she couldn't help but asked curiously, "You seem to be in a hurry? What are you looking for Maka for?"

"Well……"

After Jayden heard this, he stopped subconsciously, but he still looked hesitant. However, when he thought that the person most likely to find Maka was basically here, he turned around and said truthfully:

"Actually... although Minister Scrimgeour didn't say it, he seems to be in poor health recently."

"Then why do you have to go to Maka?" Luna suddenly wondered, "When you are sick, you should go to a therapist? Although Maka can also treat illnesses, he is so busy, so don't go to him for such a small matter!

"

"We also know this!"

After hearing this, Jayden couldn't help but sigh.

"But the Minister insists on finding Mr. MacLean, and there is nothing we can do about it... In short, if Miss Lovegood has any information about Mr. MacLean, please pass it on. We will be very grateful! Then

Now, I will continue to find someone..."

Having said that, Jayden, who was on a personal mission from the minister, no longer delayed, turned around again and hurriedly walked towards the street.

Just as he left the door, he heard the door behind him closing with another "bang", and then Luna's brisk voice came from inside:

"Neville, come on and let me poke you again... Hannah, this time it's really the last time!"

"oops!"

…

While Jayden was wondering who Luna was poking at in that house just now, and after searching around the town for half an hour, he finally saw the figure he had been looking for for a long time in an unbuilt area outside.

.

"Mr. MacLean! Mr. MacLean"

"Um?"

Maka, who was holding a long staff and looking around on the unpaved street, had already noticed someone approaching, but still waited for the other person to speak before responding.

Looking at the way he didn't look back, he seemed to be very attentive to what he was doing.

And just when Jayden looked at Maka and just responded casually, but had no intention of turning around, and was about to try to shout again, he saw Maka suddenly raised the staff in her hand, pointing towards the front.

The construction area where the house frame was built suddenly waved.

In the next second, in the blink of an eye, the block that had just been built but had been shelved was immediately razed to the ground.

It was obviously a very large-scale and very accurate super-difficult disappearing spell. Just looking at it like that just now was enough to shock people.

For example, Jaden, who wanted to say something before, was even stunned now.

It was only then that Maka finally turned around and said to Jayden who was standing there stupidly without showing any signs of fatigue:

"You...I remember you are from the Ministry of Magic, right? From the Logistics Department of the Minister's Office?"

"Ah! Oh... Mr. MacLean, I didn't expect you to remember me. I'm really honored!" Jayden came back to his senses when he heard this and said hurriedly, "Mr. MacLean, is this the way Mr. Minister has been lately?"

His physical condition is not good, and he wants us to invite you to come over and meet him."

"Physical condition?" Maka subconsciously glanced at the newly vacated space behind her, then frowned slightly and said, "Hurry up and find the therapist at St. Mungo's to take a look at him?"

"Uh... Mr. Scrimgeour... insists on looking for you."

The other party's words made Maka raise her eyebrows slightly.

"Yeah?"
