"Hermione, are we... not going?"

Just as Enns and Alexander were locked up in the vacant cabin in the Change, over at Blois Castle, Maca had once again taken Delphi and Kingsley to the British royal family as she had done a few days ago.

manor.

At the same time, Ron, Hermione, Neville and other friends gradually gathered in the living room downstairs of the tower where Willy lived.

As Hermione mentioned in the garden today, taking advantage of Maka's departure, they were already discussing for the last time whether to go to the Potions Preparation Room to check.

However, at the moment before leaving, Hermione, who was the first person to raise concerns about Maka, hesitated again.

"Hermione?"

Ron tentatively called her again. Seeing that she seemed still hesitant, he subconsciously turned to look at Luna who was sitting by the window.

The reason why he went to see Luna was naturally because it was Luna who originally proposed this idea.

"Well?"

Luna, who was looking down at the ring on her hand, seemed to feel Ron's gaze. When she raised her head, she looked at him, and then said:

"I said it in the garden. I think it's okay to go or not... Believe me, both sides are actually pretty good choices. That's what my intuition told me!"

"Uh...okay?"

Ron nodded a little puzzled.

And it was at this moment that Hermione, who had not spoken since she sat down just now, finally spoke.

"I think..." She pursed her lips and said softly, "I still won't go."

Almost at the same time, Maka, who had just arrived at the entrance of the royal manor, suddenly paused and said to Delphi who was following him:

"...In short, Hermione and the others don't have to worry about it. Although they will definitely be worried about the situation that I have always avoided mentioning, they will not interfere with my plans because of this. Because...they are concerned about

I have enough confidence, and that confidence may even exceed my self-confidence.”

…

Early the next morning, Change.

"Mr. Wolfe, Mr. Tavon, good morning! I hope this whole night of confinement has given you enough warning. Now, you can go to the kitchen to get today's breakfast!"

Looking at Professor McGonagall standing at the door of the "temporary confinement room", Alexander and Enns both nodded, then carefully passed by each other and walked along the corridor to the cabin where the kitchen was located.

Not long after, at the door of the kitchen cabin where breakfast was served, the two of them were queuing up in the queue for the meal, talking quietly to each other.

I saw Alexander, who was lining up behind Enns, leaning against the back of Enns’ head and saying softly:

"Have you considered it? As long as you promise me to see Professor MacLean as soon as possible after you go there, and then don't act impulsively, and follow the professor's arrangements. Then, I will help you... no, I will go with you.

Walk."

After saying this, Enns in front did not answer immediately, but remained silent. Just like when Alexander said this for the first time in the evening, he obviously did not want to take Alexander with him.

After staying for a while, the two of them moved forward a few times with the movement of the team, and Enns finally couldn't help but turned his head slightly and said:

"Let's not talk about whether you agree or not, but tell me first, why do you want to go with me again? Yesterday on the deck, you showed me a posture that you would not let me go even if you beat me to death.

Coming!"

"Reason?" Alexander sighed slightly after hearing this, "I want to visit my father. Do you think this is enough reason?"

After saying this first, he said again:

"You should remember what I told you before. Before I came to Hogwarts, I lived with my parents in London. After my mother passed away, my father once went insane. This was MacLean.

The professor cured it with Wangyou ointment... But you know, mental illness is difficult to completely recover. Although I have received the news that my father is also on the relocation list during this disaster and large-scale relocation,... I am still afraid of my father.

What if the old disease relapses due to any stimulation?”

Having said this, Alexander couldn't help but reached out and patted Enns on the shoulder, and then thought about it before saying:

"I remember... your father should have gone to France with the evacuation team, right?"

Enns twisted his shoulders, and after shaking his palm away, he curled his lips and said:

"Well, he is indeed over there."

"Oh," Alexander nodded immediately after hearing this, "So, you will definitely visit your father after you go, right? Then you should be able to understand my feelings."

However, Enns immediately shook his head and said:

"Don't compare you to me. I don't have a good relationship with my annoying old man, and we have never gotten along well. Therefore, I will not be like you!"

Listening to Enns' words, Alexander couldn't help but sigh.

"Okay, okay! Although it may be a bit offensive to say this, I still want to say that since this is the case, then let's put it aside for now. In fact, if you have to say it, going to see dad is indeed a good thing for me and dad.

It’s very important to everyone. But the reason why I made this decision is more on the premise that you are not impulsive.”

In short, as long as Enns still wants to do as much violence as he did on the deck last night, then Alexander will insist that Enns continue to stay on the ship even if he gives up going to see his father.

After Enns heard this, he frowned and shook his head.

"Tsk." He thought for a while, and then said, "Okay! If you want to follow, you can follow, and I... yes, I will go to Professor MacLean first as you said."

"Since you said so," Alexander said, "then, after breakfast, I will go to the door of your room and wait for you to come out, and then we will find a place to talk about leaving the Change. You know, after yesterday

The later it is, the harder it will be to leave, so we need some planning and preparations for unexpected situations."

At this moment, the last person photographed in front of Enns also received his breakfast and left with his plate.

When Enns saw this, he shut his mouth first and went forward to receive something. When he turned around and passed Alexander, he agreed softly:

"Okay, I'll see you later."

Alexander looked at Enns's leaving figure, paused briefly, and then walked up to the two prefects responsible for distributing food today and took his plate.

Then, he walked back and whispered to himself:

"See you later."
