"Filius, what are you—"

Sprout and others were a little surprised when they saw Professor Flitwick coming back with a large number of students.

"I saw Minerva," Flitwick said as he waved his wand and asked the students to lie down on the deck one by one. "It's just...her condition is a bit strange. Just in case, she has gone to the back."

It’s over there in the cabin.”

With that said, he told everyone about Professor McGonagall's failure to hear the previous scream, and by the way, he also mentioned the situation in which McGonagall took the initiative to isolate herself from everyone.

After hearing what he said, Snape first frowned, with a slight hesitation on his face.

Obviously, like McGonagall, he was worried about the fact that this still-unclear disaster had another factor that was inconsistent with most of the facts.

However, at about the same time, Mag, who had walked alone to the rear cabin area of ​​the Change, had a new guess because of a coincidence that was not a coincidence.

…

"Click...click...click..."

The sound of footsteps echoed in the deserted corridor and became a little more obvious.

Mag was returning along the passage to the office she had left before, but on the way, she seemed to have thought of something and took a slight detour, passing by the professor's rest area.

Since when she met Flitwick before, she already knew that most of the professors had been called to the deck by Tia, so naturally there was no one in the rest area at this time.

Yes, except for Trelawney and Bubbaji.

“Tuk-tuk-tuk.”

After walking to a certain cabin door, she decisively reached out and knocked on the door.

"who?"

"Caridi, it's me, McGonagall."

Before she finished speaking, the door to the room was suddenly opened from the inside - it was the door opened to her by Muggle Studies professor Caredi Bubaji.

"Professor McGonagall, are you here? Come in quickly!"

Bubaji hurriedly turned slightly to let Mag into the room, but unexpectedly, Mag immediately waved her hand and rejected her.

"No, for some personal reasons, I'd better not go in... How is Sybil?"

"Still asleep!"

Although Bubaji felt a little strange about Mag's rejection, she was not someone who wanted to get to the bottom of everything. After all, she was really not very good at serious magic research. Even if she asked, she would probably

Bai asked.

Seeing Mag mention Trelawney, she subconsciously turned back and glanced inside, and then said worriedly:

"Professor McGonagall, you know! Sybil's condition has been very bad since last time... This time something happened again, and I'm worried that she won't be able to hold on."

Speaking of this, she felt a little ashamed and said:

"But to be honest, that terrible buzzing sound earlier...oh, I almost couldn't survive it. When my vision went black and I fainted, I thought I might not be able to wake up."

That's right, when the spiritual attack was launched, because Bubaji's willpower was not as strong as other professors, she almost fainted on the spot like the students. But fortunately, she still

He woke up on his own and did not end up in the same situation as most young wizards.

After all, no matter what, she is still an experienced adult wizard. Even if magic studies such as charms are not her specialty, the strength of her mental will is always stronger than ordinary people through the accumulation of spell-casting training.

The students are stronger.

But... just as Bubbaji was worried, it was hard to tell from Trelawney's side in the room.

I remember that last time, because she had already experienced a quite special prophecy, the content of the prophecy was clear and large in scale, so it was actually a bit too much for her.

Originally, with her prophetic bloodline, her mental strength was definitely not inferior to anyone on the ship. But now, she was too consumed by the prophecy, so she may not be able to withstand the impact on her mental level this time.

And perhaps because of this, Bubbaji, who already knew some of the situations outside, did not take Trelawney to the deck, because although the latter was still fainting, no one knew whether she would

He may act like those little wizards and hurt others at any time.

"Caridi," McGonagall thought for a moment, and then said, "This time... did Sybil say anything else while she was sleeping? You know what I mean - was there anything similar to a prophecy?"

There is no doubt that at the moment, Mag knows that it is best not to take the initiative to approach other people, but he still deliberately takes a detour here just to ask this question.

To this day, Trelawney's prophecy is very credible, and she still hopes to listen to it as a reference. Especially... until now, this accident is still in a state of confusion.

state.

Unfortunately, she soon saw Bubaji shaking his head.

"No," she said, "Sibyl didn't say anything, but...it felt very peaceful all the time."

However, the moment she said this, the two people at the door suddenly heard a vague murmur in the room. Because it was quiet here, they heard it very clearly.

"...goodwill...wandering on the sea...goodwill..."

It was just such a fragmented murmur, not even a complete sentence, let alone a prophecy. After Mag and Bubaji heard it, they couldn't help but look at each other, and they both saw each other.

Confusion in eyes.

"It's Sybil...but, what does that mean?" Bubaji said in a daze.

To be honest, if it wasn't quiet enough here, I might even hear a few words wrongly. But even if I heard them all, I would still be a little confused.

Regarding Bubaji's question, McGonagall thought for a while and could only shake her head.

"Maybe it's a reminder?" she said with a slight frown, "'goodwill'? Could it be that... some help is coming? Is it Maka?"

Even if you force yourself to think about it, it seems far-fetched. If you think about it for a while, you will find that your random speculation is ridiculous.

Perhaps, this is really just an ordinary dream talk of Trelawney? It is as if she has read Gilderoy Lockhart's book and insists on writing a profound and exquisite review.

Looking back it only makes people laugh.

"Caridi, you stay here to take care of Sybil...and remember to be as careful as possible. If not, go directly to the deck to find Severus and the others!"

After giving Bubaji a few words of advice, Mag finally left alone with more doubts.
