"What's wrong?"

Maka looked at the suddenly boiling scene around her and couldn't help but pull Charlotte's sleeve.

"What's wrong!" Charlotte grinned, "We won the Academy Cup!"

"Ah?" Maka was stunned, feeling like she had missed something.

At this time, Darren on the other side sat down and said: "Because of you - Dumbledore gave you a full hundred points! Although Gryffindor also added a lot of points, it is still not as high as us! This year's academy

The cup belongs to us Hufflepuffs!"

"How long has it been since our college won the College Cup——!" He couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Maka saw Dumbledore smiling and winking at him, seeming to be happy that he had received this well-deserved honor.

"That means," Dumbledore said loudly, because this was the only way to drown out the thunderous cheers, because even the Ravenclaw and Gryffindor students were celebrating Slytherin's sudden

Failed miserably, "We need to make some small changes to the decor here."

He clapped his hands, and immediately, the green hanging ribbons turned into khaki, and the silver ones turned into black; the huge Slytherin snake disappeared, replaced by a shrinking little badger.

"No matter how many times I've seen it, I still feel it's a bit tacky!" Maka looked feebly at the hall, thinking that it would be better to give the Academy Cup to Gryffindor. At least the gold and red colors looked more festive.

However, looking at Dean Sprout's blushing smile at the guest of honor seat and the cheers of the students around him, he couldn't help but feel that his contribution to the college was at least worthwhile.

A few days later, the exam results were announced.

Hermione won first place in the whole grade, and under her supervision, Harry and Ron also achieved good results. As for Maka, who never took exams seriously, she won third place.

If you want to say that this result is good, it is indeed good; but if you want to ask why he only got third place with his in-depth study of magic, then you have to mention his unsightly astronomy results.

Compared with the super high evaluations of other courses, a barely passing "A" evaluation directly caused him to drop two places. It was obvious that he really had no interest in astronomy.

At this moment, Maka, who had arrived at the real King's Cross Station from platform nine and three-quarters, was walking towards the exit of the station.

"Oh, if I could use apparation, I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble..."

He complained and slowly moved out.

"The more I think about it, the weirder it becomes, why can't I use it well? The farther the distance, the greater the random error... What a headache!"

It was indeed true. He had practiced it more than a hundred times in Hogsmeade Village. Every time he moved successfully without exception, but the manifest coordinates always deviated from the predetermined position, and the straight line distance became farther and farther.

, the greater the deviation.

According to Maka's estimation, if he disapparates directly from here to Albania, he will appear in either Romania or Italy! Or, the possibility of falling directly into the sea is not small.

"Alas -" after thinking about it, he couldn't help but sigh again, "I have no choice but to take the plane and wait and see what happens when we get to Italy..."

"Anyway, let's go to Gringotts first and exchange some pounds!"

In Diagon Alley, Macca, who wanted to go directly to the airport, hesitated, but finally went to Lovegood's house.

After all, this is a long trip, and he doesn’t know when he will come back! Although there is plenty of time during the summer vacation, there are probably a lot of things to do, and it is very likely that he will miss the start of school.

He followed Dumbledore to the principal's office before, just to inoculate himself against this matter in advance so as not to cause more trouble later. Unexpectedly, this time Dumbledore was surprisingly easy to talk to and even promised to give him some money.

Extend the vacation. This is something Maka never expected.

…

An hour later, Maka was sitting at the dining table of the Lovegood family, chatting with Luna.

"Where is your father? Did he go out to collect materials again?" Maka asked.

"Well, yes, he is always busy." Luna nodded, tilted her head and looked at Maka, "Are you going somewhere far away?"

"Yes! It's indeed quite far." Maka smiled and didn't say much.

Luna said "Oh" and blinked.

"The school's owls have begun to leave one after another. You should receive the Hogwarts admission notice in a few days." Maka took a sip of tea and said, "If I can come back before school starts, I will

Came to go with you."

"Perhaps you will go to Ravenclaw, I think that is right. Then you can say hello to the ghost Ms. Gray in Ravenclaw Tower. I have already mentioned you to her, and she will show you the way.

Tell me about the school. Believe me, although Ms. Gray has an arrogant personality, she is still a nice person."

Luna nodded while listening. It seemed that she was quite interested in enrolling in school.

Maka smiled when she saw this, and added: "Although there is a sentence that is not appropriate for me to say, I seem to be quite popular at Hogwarts recently, haha... If you have any difficulties, just

If you tell me your name, I think it will be of some use."

After giving Luna detailed instructions, Maka handed her a small pink suitcase.

"I made this by myself some time ago, with a traceless stretching spell cast inside, and an old permission slip from the Ministry of Magic." He said, "You can put a lot of things in it, so your luggage won't be too much. It's very convenient."

It’s convenient. Of course, be discreet when using it. The permission sticker was moved from another box and doesn’t match the box.”

"Well, thank you," Luna smiled at him, "but I still want you to come back early."

"Of course, I hope so." Maka looked at Luna's beautiful gray eyes and nodded slightly.

In the end, Maka still didn't wait for Xenophilius to come back. He had to say goodbye to Luna and left in a hurry. Before setting off, he still had many things to prepare, such as the cage of the owl Marfa.

The previous cage had been taken out and thrown away by Mafa herself, but she couldn’t continue to let Mafa stand on her shoulders on the plane, right?

In addition, there are many other things to prepare!

Two days passed quietly, and just when Maka arrived at the airport, she saw an unexpected person.

It was a little girl wearing loose Muggle clothes. The small light blue back and the big hat on her head reminded Maka of someone.

"Miss Blois?" Maka looked at the petite figure standing in front of the ticket booth and called out.

Willie turned around, looked at Maka, and then said calmly: "Hello."

"How did you-" "Can I ask you a question?"

Maka's words were interrupted by Willy's plain tone, and he had to nod and shut his mouth.

"You know," Willy said, "how do you get on that - um, plane?"

"Is this your first time flying?" Maka asked, and Willie nodded.

"Where are you going? I'll buy a ticket for you."

"Paris."

"Your home is in Paris? Well, are you leaving today..."

The conversation pattern remained the same, with Maka asking and Willie answering. Although this was very efficient without any nonsense, Maka always felt that something was not right.

And just when Maka wanted to queue up, Willie behind him pulled the hem of his clothes.

"What's wrong?" Maka turned around.

"Where are you going?" Willie raised her head slightly and asked quietly.

"Uh, go buy a ticket?" Maka was a little confused.

"I'm going to Paris, where are you going?" Willy still looked calm, as if she was used to others not being able to understand her.

"Oh, you're talking about this! I'm going to Italy and have some things to do." Maka said suddenly.

"Then, I'll go too," Willie nodded to herself.

Then she was afraid that Maka wouldn't understand, so she added: "Italy."

"What are you going for? I'm not going to play, aren't you going home?" Maka was stunned and said strangely.

"I don't want to go home, there are no plants," Willie said naturally, "Not at all."

Maka felt that his head started to hurt again. He even thought that the scar on Harry's head was moved to his forehead by Voldemort because he had been having headaches recently.

He tried to talk to Willy, but she didn't listen at all. Maka couldn't leave a little girl here alone who didn't understand the Muggle world. It would make him feel guilty about abandoning a child.

In the end, Maka had no choice but to agree. He had a hunch that this trip might not be as comfortable as him.

Sitting on the plane, Maka looked at Willy leaning against the window, looking at the clouds outside expressionlessly, but she had that wonderful illusion again - maybe she just didn't know how to show her emotions,

In fact, she is just a very ordinary and low-key little girl, but no different from other people?

"Please don't keep looking at me." Willie suddenly turned her head and said calmly.

Well! She is indeed different from other children. At least, other peers have learned some ways of the world and won't speak so straightforwardly.

Maka turned her attention back to her notebook and began to continue writing and drawing.

There are still many rules and runes. If we don’t hurry up and continue to study, God knows what year and month it will take to analyze them all!

On the plane, Maka always focused on his notebook, and he felt that he had arrived at his destination not long after.

Looking at the Italian-style buildings outside the window, I felt that if there weren't so many things going on, this trip might be more worth looking forward to.

But it's a pity that after getting off the plane, he will be busy again.
