"Luna, what's wrong?"

Seeing that she suddenly stopped there motionless, Furong couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, it's nothing," Luna shook her head, lowered her head and took another sip of butterbeer, then turned to greet Fleur and said, "Eat, eat! Let me see what delicious food there is today -"

From Luna's behavior, Fleur could tell at a glance that she was hiding it, but since she didn't want to say it, Fleur didn't have to pursue it to ask for a clear reason.

She shrugged, then picked up a piece of bread, spread some sardine sauce and put a piece of lettuce on it, then stuffed it into her mouth and took a bite.

While chewing slowly and savoring the salty flavor, he said casually:

"I heard from Mrs. Maxim in the morning that the Weymouth camp had survived another wave of zombies, and Miss Granger had returned safely. But she only had time to touch Mrs. Maxim, and she went first

It’s Belgium...it seems like there will be another very important meeting next.”

"Really?" Luna licked the jam that stuck to her fingers, "It's okay... Where are Harry and the others? They're not hurt, are they?"

"Probably not," Fleur shook her head. "I heard that this time it went well. Only a few wizards who were responsible for resisting the attack of zombies on the defense line were slightly injured. It's just... the tide of zombies and so on, it sounds so scary!

"

"Well," Luna couldn't help but nodded seriously after hearing this, "It's really scary. They don't have a 'heart', only a strong desire that seems to swallow everything."

"oh!"

After hearing Luna's strange description, Fleur couldn't help but shrink her neck. But she didn't know that Luna was not making any exaggerated descriptions. Every word she said came from her past.

actual perception.

"But it doesn't matter," Luna thought for a while, then suddenly said, "Although they are very scary, in terms of strength, Harry and the others are stronger - much stronger! As long as Haierbo doesn't appear in person, they should be able to

It'll be okay...oh, I hope it'll be okay."

Perhaps it was because the worries in her heart gradually filled her head, and the inexplicable hesitation just now had been subconsciously put aside by her.

Immediately afterwards, Furong seemed to have remembered something again and continued:

"Also, it is said that this wave of living corpses was not solved by Miss Granger and Mr. Potter, but by a group of 'very special' wizards from the east who appeared out of nowhere. How should I put it? Conveniently.

Helped them. Madam said that Mr. Potter guessed that those wizards were probably sent by Mr. MacLean in Winchester."

"Maka?" Luna paused for a moment, then nodded, "Oh...since Harry said that, it should be right - after all, he has already met Maka once."

"yes!"

Fleur responded, feeling that this topic was a bit heavy to talk about, and was about to change it to something more relaxed and interesting. But before she could speak again, she heard Luna suddenly ask:

"By the way, Hermione is almost planning to go to Winchester this time, right? Have you heard Madam mention it?"

"Miss Granger is going to Winchester? Looking for Maclean?" Fleur was stunned when she heard this, and then quickly shook her head in confusion, "No...and I don't think so?"

Saying this, she recalled it for a moment and then said:

"Miss Granger had said at that dinner before that she was going to lead the coalition forces of the Resistance Alliance to march north to retake the city of Birmingham in the center of southern England - this time is obviously a good time.

.Now I’m going to Belgium for a meeting, I guess I just want to discuss this matter with everyone, right?”

"Birmingham?" Luna tilted her head and stopped holding the fork in her hand.

"Well," Fleur nodded immediately, "so if she still wants to go to Winchester, she must at least do it after this trip."

"Is it...?" Luna seemed to think hard for a moment, and finally shook her head and said, "If that's really the case... Fleur, I'm a little worried about Hermione."

"Why?" Fleur asked in confusion, "So far, Miss Granger's plans and successes have given everyone a lot of confidence. And this time she decided to take over Birmingham... Although I am

I don’t really understand these overall plans, but just by looking at Mrs. Maxim’s expression, I know that everyone should really appreciate Miss Granger’s decision.”

"No, that's not what I'm worried about. Hermione is very smart and really capable. In these matters, she can always make excellent judgments calmly."

Having said this, Luna pursed her lips.

"What I'm worried about is Hermione's heart... I understand her, just like she understands me better and better. I know that she clearly wants to see Maka, even if... even if we just look at each other,

Let her feel a little more at ease."

"Fleur, maybe you don't know. Although Hermione is very smart, she often becomes less confident when facing big events - in the past, she needed Maka's presence at such times.

She needs to have someone by her side who can make her realize that 'it doesn't matter even if she fails', even just a look can be an encouragement."

"It doesn't matter even if you fail..." Fleur chewed on these words and sighed softly for a long time, "Yes, for many people, McClane is such a presence that can make people fearless."

At this time, Luna finally said:

"So I'm worried about Hermione. I think...she may have been holding on."

At this point, Luna couldn't help but put down the fork in her hand, as if she was about to drop everything, stand up, and go straight to Belgium where Hermione was. However, deep down in her heart, there was something that never let up from the beginning to the end.

Principles, however, made her hesitate and hesitate, urging her to give up action.

To be honest, Luna has always been a person who follows her heart. She has always been like this. She can not worry about the eyes of people she doesn't care about, only do what she wants to do, and implement her principles to the end.

Moreover, it may not be obvious on the surface, but she is also a girl with strong decision-making ability. Before the dispute with Hermione, she had never hesitated about anything.

However, nowadays, she shows hesitation more and more often. It's as if... there is a powerful force that is pulling her heart that is flying in the clouds away from the world, pulling her little by little towards this dirty world.

A dirty, noisy, bumpy world, but full of human kindness and warmth.

And obviously, this power is not all given by Maka, a large part of it comes from Hermione.

Tens of seconds later...

"I'm going to find her."

Luna stood up.
