For the current Maka, mirrors and stone tablets are both inconvenient to place. Where to store them has become a new problem that must be faced.

After thinking about it carefully, he still thought it would be more appropriate to keep both within his reach.

At present, with his ability, he can seal both things. But compared to the more in-depth study of the Bewitching Monument, the ancient mirror seems a bit reluctant - Haierbo casually recalled it to him before.

Around you, that is the best proof.

In the afternoon, while Maka was still far away in the mountains and forests of Albania, trying her best to eliminate future troubles, outside the Ravenclaw common room...

"Huh?"

The bronze eagle, which had just returned from Rowena's secret room with Luna, suddenly let out a light sigh.

"I just talked about that kid, he will come back——"

Only halfway through the words, it seemed to feel that something was not quite right, and could not help but tilt its little head.

"No, no, the magic power fluctuations are true..." It squatted on top of Luna's head and muttered to itself, "On the mental side...is it too much sunshine? This is still the little Maka who is full of bad ideas.

?"

"Huh?" Luna asked doubtfully, "Little guy, do you know Maka too?"

"I told you not to call me 'little guy'! Gah——"

…

Luna and Bronze Eagle obviously can't talk to each other. In short, their mental wavelengths can never match.

Therefore, instead of listening to the confusing conversation between the two, it is better to first understand some of the developments in the principal's office.

About a few minutes ago, unlike on weekdays when there were usually only Mag and Charlotte, there were quite a few people visiting here today. In addition to Enns, who had just arrived here not long ago, there were actually three others.

Distinguished guests from afar are sitting quietly.

"Steward Edward, I think what happened today will be recorded in the history of the wizarding world. Mr. Nico Mellor's selfless spirit is really worth learning from us..."

Professor McGonagall was sitting on the armchair next to her desk, and the people she was chatting with were Edward, the old butler of the Flamel family, and Madame Maxime, the headmistress of Beauxbatons.

Moreover, Fleur also came to Hogwarts as an escort today, but the real reason why she came was of course to have fun.

However, everyone seems to be in a bad mood at the moment. Although Professor McGonagall and the old butler Edward have been chatting, both of them are a little absent-minded, so that the conversation seems to be cliche.

Among all the people present, the one who was most hesitant to speak was Enns.

"Professor McGonagall!"

After patiently listening to the tasteless polite words for a while, Enns finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Professor Maclean is in danger! Why are you-"

Enns was not originally the kind of person to express concern so openly.

But this time, it was Maka who saved him from an almost certain death situation and even put him in crisis, which undoubtedly made him feel guilty.

Therefore, as soon as he returned to Hogwarts, he thought hard and tried to find some help for Maka as much as possible.

However, just now, after listening to Enns's account, Professor McGonagall immediately sent out several notices, seemingly summoning someone. But after that, she sat back in her chair with a sullen expression.

Go up and continue chatting with Edward about those boring topics.

This was very difficult for Enns to accept.

But in response to Enns's indignant words, Professor McGonagall just shook her head.

"Mr. Tawen, I can understand your inner urgency, but this matter cannot be rushed." She lowered her eyes slightly and said softly, "Just wait a little longer!"

Maga couldn't be said to be familiar with Maka's strength, but it wasn't unfamiliar either. As far as she knew, if it was a big problem that even Maka couldn't solve, it wouldn't be something that just a few more people could solve.

To be honest, this was not the first time she had experienced this feeling of powerlessness.

But as long as Minerva McGonagall remains the principal of Hogwarts, she must take responsibility for the school, and Maka is naturally a member of Hogwarts.

If something happened to Maka, she would have already been mentally prepared to take on everything - including the part that Maka had previously borne.

The moment Mag said "wait a little longer", an astonishing silver stream of light suddenly appeared outside the office window, startling everyone present.

Professor McGonagall suddenly turned around and realized that what was outside at this time was actually a somewhat familiar silver eagle.

"It's Maca's patron saint——"

She immediately got up and opened the window, only to see the eagle shrink a bit immediately, then suddenly got in through the open window, flapped its wings and landed on the bird stand that originally belonged to Phoenix Fox.

And then, the eagle spoke.

"Professor McGonagall, the original plan needs to be slightly changed - after the competition is over, we will notify the temporary market in the front yard to disband as soon as possible, and all activities tonight will be cancelled. I will return to Hogwarts around midnight...

Please make sure no one is outside the castle at that time, there are some strange things that I don’t want others to see.”

Sending messages with the help of the Patronus Charm was a magical skill that Dumbledore taught to members of the Order of the Phoenix.

Of course, no one would use it unless it was an emergency, because it is too laborious to maintain a patron saint over a long distance, let alone thousands of miles away like Maka.

"Professor Maclean, are you okay?"

As soon as the silver eagle suddenly made a sound of Maka, Enns couldn't help but ask a question immediately, but did not receive an answer. Not long after, the eagle with a silver-white halo flowing all over its body disappeared silently.

"Mr. Tavon, this is a one-way transmission. Maka cannot hear what you say." Mag explained to Enns first, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She is definitely no less worried about Maka's situation than Enns, but precisely because of this, her heart is actually much heavier than Enns.

"McLean's ability is obvious to all of us, and his deeds are now heard by many in our French magic world!" Mrs. Maxim also smiled, "It seems that this time he has solved another problem.

What an incredible thing!”

Sitting next to her, the old butler Edward also nodded, obviously agreeing with this.

"I just knew he would be fine-"

Even Fleur, who was standing behind, murmured softly, causing Charlotte not far away to glance at her specifically, but the hand she had been holding tightly before was immediately released.

It was at this moment that there was a knock on the office door.

"Please come in."

After Professor McGonagall glanced over there subconsciously, she waved her hand and opened the door, and at the same time responded loudly.

"Good afternoon, Professor McGonagall."

Soon, with a slow greeting, there was another person in the office.

To be honest, the outer room of the principal's office is actually not very big. Now that there are seven people staying there, it seems a bit crowded.

"Miss Lovegood?" Professor McGonagall nodded, "What can I do?"

"Oh, um..." Luna stood in the middle of the office and gently touched a certain location on her coat, where there was a pocket on the inside. "Professor, has Maka been here just now?"

Professor McGonagall was startled when she heard this, but then she shook her head.

"No, I don't think so," she said. "Professor MacLean is not in the school at the moment. If you have any learning problems, I suggest you go to the library and read relevant books first. You know, you can do it yourself.

What you understand is harder to forget than what you get from a teacher.”

"Really?" Luna looked around in the office, "Okay...thank you for your answer, then goodbye, Professor McGonagall!"

After that, she turned around very simply and left as easily as when she came.

On the other hand, everyone else in the office looked at her back, feeling an unspeakable wonder in their hearts - what on earth was this blonde girl doing here?

"Don't worry, Miss Lovegood has always been like this."

Charlotte explained to Luna on the other side, and Professor McGonagall nodded, confirming Charlotte's words.

"But she must have discovered Maka's patron saint, right?" Mag thought for a while and asked, "Did she accidentally see it outside the castle just now..."

…

On the other side, in the corridor outside the principal's office.

"Hey! Little girl, why did you come out like this? You should ask for more information before you leave!"

The bronze eagle flew out of the inner pocket of Luna's robe, fluttered and landed on her shoulder, complaining in Luna's ears.

But Luna just shook her head.

"Didn't Professor McGonagall say that? Maka didn't come back..."

"Just believe what she says!" Xiao Ying quacked, "I'm telling you, little girl! Just now, Master Ying, I definitely felt the magic power of Maka's boy fluctuating. It was clear as day! Oops...

...Then boy, why haven't you come to see me, Master Ying? How long has it been..."

After Luna heard this, she turned her head and looked over her shoulder.

"Little guy, what are you doing with Maka?" She pondered, "If there's nothing very important, it's best not to disturb him... He's very busy every day!"

"Of course it's important! Which of Master Ying's things is unimportant?" Bronze Little Eagle muttered dissatisfiedly, and then said loudly, "Forget it, I can't tell you about this anyway...

Also, little girl! You told me not to call me 'little one', don't you have a memory?"

Before he finished speaking, a chaotic noise suddenly sounded outside the castle. From the direction of the sound, it seemed that it was over there on the playing field.

"Gah? What happened again?"
