"...Do you have any other plans next?"

"Are you planning to... If possible, of course I still want to make as many preparations as possible for the next defensive battle. But, to be honest, I don't know what else we can do."

"Then...well, I have a suggestion here. You know, the defense line against the zombie army is constantly retreating, and it is almost catching up with the evacuation progress from the rear. It will definitely not work if it continues like this. However, I was just now

I heard at the temporary residence that some young wizards are organizing people to do their part, I think we might as well cooperate with them to support the evacuation operation... What do you think?"

When Delphi hurried to the central square and told Hermione this suggestion, Hermione, who had already assigned tasks to all the friends present, immediately decided to go to the new Ministry of Magic building with her.

Perhaps considering the current war situation, everyone realized that Delphi's proposal was indeed of imperative importance. In addition, the risk was obviously much lower than on the front line, which made several other people present want it.

Let's go together.

Unfortunately, as Hermione said before, staying in Spiral Town is also a very necessary task, especially Luna who needs to stay here to control the magic shield.

So after thinking about it, Hermione only agreed to let Ginny, who was originally arranged to go to the observation room to guard the two survivors with Ron, go with her.

Naturally, Delphi would not have any objections to this. After all, for her who is responsible for follow-up tasks, this would be more convenient for her to change shifts in the observation room!

"Is it just the three of us? Let's go then. The friend in charge of recruiting volunteers should be waiting for us at the Ministry of Magic now!"

…

Delphi was right. A few minutes ago, Maca had arrived at the door of the new Ministry of Magic building with the witch named "Lola".

However, it is obvious that not just anyone can enter the Ministry of Magic's door.

If Maka didn't make any disguise, then naturally no one with no eyesight would stop him from coming in and out. But now if he wants to go in, he must have a sufficiently convincing reason and accept it honestly.

examine.

But until Delphi and the others came over, he and Lola didn't need to enter the hall for the time being.

"Sir, we... we just stand here and wait... is it appropriate?"

Since Maka picked a rather eye-catching place to stop and wait, Lola seemed a little unsure.

After all, not far away, there were two rows of serious Auror guards lined up at the gate. Although the other party only glanced here from time to time and did not come to drive them away, ordinary wizards faced

When I work as an Auror in the Ministry of Magic, I always feel a sense of nervousness that cannot be said to be timidity or guilt.

"Um?"

Maka looked at her, then at the Aurors on the other side who were secretly monitoring the two of them, and then waved her hand at Lola.

"Is there anything inappropriate? Don't worry, it's okay..." he said, "It's you, please adjust your mentality quickly! We will definitely go inside to see Mr. Luping in a while. Now that you are so nervous, I'm afraid you will

It will be awkward to speak."

"Meet Mr. Lupine? Mr. Lupin, who is deeply trusted by Mr. MacLean and has been handling various affairs for him?"

"Yes!" Maka nodded and said, "I have to say that Mr. Lupin made a huge contribution in this disaster! It is precisely because of his hard work day and night in the rear that the combatants can fight with peace of mind. We

Only then can we retreat here safely and avoid being displaced after a disaster occurs!"

Maka did not say these words in front of Lupine, at least she certainly did not express her gratitude to him so directly, because if she said this to him in person, it would only bring excessive pressure to him.

However, these are facts without any water, and they are also the words from the bottom of Maka's heart.

It's a pity that Lu Ping has always been too low-key in his work, and has never been willing or caring to highlight himself. This makes most people actually unaware of his efforts and contributions.

Even if Maka hadn't deliberately shown her reliance on Lupine in front of others, maybe not many ordinary wizards would even know about Lupine until now.

"But it's okay, don't worry! Mr. Luping is not a hard person to talk to. You will understand when you see him soon."

Just as Maka was looking at the empty street, casually comforting Lola who looked nervous. Suddenly, the three familiar figures finally turned from the intersection in the direction of the square and appeared in their field of vision.

.

"Oh, it's coming!"

As Maka spoke, she raised her hand and waved it exaggeratedly, shaping her image into a rather sunny and somewhat funny ordinary young wizard.

In interactions between people, the first impression will directly affect other people's views and feelings about themselves. Therefore, as long as you distance yourself from the image of "Maka" during the "first meeting", you will be attracted by the other person.

The possibility of detection will be greatly reduced.

There was no way, Hermione knew herself so well that Maka had to spend more effort to strengthen her disguise.

In this current journey back in time, he still has a lot to do, and he cannot let his secrets be revealed easily.

"Hello! Oh, this must be Miss Granger, right? Hello, hello! I am also a Gryffindor, you can call me 'Myron'!"

When Delphi, Hermione and Ginny walked quickly along the street, Maca immediately walked down the steps to greet them, and immediately ran to Ginny first to say hello.

And then, he looked at Hermione next to him again.

"Well, this is"

Seeing this, Delphi couldn't help but corrected:

"That's Miss Weasley!"

"Oh, is it Miss Weasley? Nice to meet you!" Maka still looked at Hermione, smiled and said hello, and then said with some confusion, "But...the Weasley family doesn't

Are they all redheads? This one”

While he was saying this, he deliberately looked at Ginny's fiery red hair next to him, and then said with an apologetic expression:

"Oh! Sorry, I seem to have made a complete mistake... I'm really sorry. If I've offended you two, please accept my most sincere apology!"

"No, there is nothing to apologize for!" Hermione heard this and shook her head slightly. "I heard from Delphi that you and your companions are gathering volunteers to provide support for the war? What's the matter?

Without further ado, I would like to discuss this matter with you."

Maka saw that she didn't care about her little "nonsense" and went straight to the topic as soon as she got up. She couldn't help but secretly nod in her heart. She was indeed Hermione, and she was becoming more and more pragmatic as a leader.
