Ron's words were, of course, more of an expression of helplessness.

However, due to Harry's appearance, Troyer could no longer say a word. Naturally, the conversation between him and Ron could only be temporarily interrupted.

Ron, who finally had the courage to try to solve this problem, failed, but he couldn't blame Harry for his sudden appearance, which was really hard for him.

Of course, compared with this little big thing, the upcoming Christmas is undoubtedly much more attractive.

Generally speaking, the Christmas holidays at Hogwarts start before Christmas. According to tradition, after a rather sumptuous Christmas dinner, everyone can go back to their homes to celebrate the real Christmas.

But this year, when the "Hogwarts Christmas Eve Special Announcement" appeared on the bulletin board, everyone was surprised and the topic went viral.

"Still sleeping? Don't sleep! This year's Christmas vacation will not start until after Christmas Day——"

"Sir, Merlin, do you want us to stay in school even for Christmas?"

"No, no, no, there will be activities held in the school for three days and two nights before and after Christmas! It is said that the professor of each course will specially design a special project with a Christmas atmosphere! Of course, those who do not want to participate can also submit the application in advance.

Home application.”

"Oh! That's not bad..."

"Hey! I haven't finished yet - the notice also said that the Weird Sisters, Lorcan Deis and many other big stars in the magic world will come, and there will also be special stages set up!"

"Lorken? Did I hear you correctly? Didn't he never accept invitations and only sing at the psychedelic shows he held? Oh... Then I will definitely not go, even if Voldemort stands in front of me, I will not

Go back!"

"Oh, I don't know who used to huddle up on the bed in the middle of the night and scream for mercy..."

Discussions similar to this conversation are now everywhere in Hogwarts. In fact, in the wizarding world, this kind of star-chasing phenomenon is not at all rare in the Muggle world.

For example, the Weird Sisters are a popular group in the wizarding world. Their creative style of playing rock music with classical instruments has set off a huge wave, attracting a large number of young wizards from all over the world.

As for the "Lorcan Deis" mentioned by the pair of little witches just now, he is a singer-songwriter with a rare bloodline such as a hybrid vampire.

His psychedelic songs based on the past entanglements between vampires and Muggles have been at the top of the "Succubus Music Weekly" pop music charts for 19 consecutive weeks.

Just because of his bloodline, some wizards who were anti-humanoid bloodline often slandered him openly or covertly, so he became angry and refused to accept any performance invitations.

However, this time, Lorcan Demeans actually came to Hogwarts to perform, which really surprised his fans.

But they didn't know that this was just the result of Maka sending a letter to the Vampire Tolerance Association.

"Oh, then Hogwarts will be open to the public... I bet there will be people inside and outside the school in those days! It will be very lively!"

…

While the little wizards in Hogwarts Castle were excited for what would inevitably be a grand Christmas, Maka, who was the main organizer of that event, was currently on an inconspicuous uninhabited island.

Working hard.

It can be seen that this small island is full of messy and dense trees, and because it is located in the tropics, the jungle is quite hot and humid.

But Maka just sat on a large boulder that she got from nowhere, concentrating on carving carefully on a curved stone slab.

If you look around him, you will find that there are hundreds of finished stone slabs of similar sizes and shapes scattered around him, and they are covered with all kinds of completely different symbols and lines.

In fact, in recent days, he has been coming here to carve stone slabs almost every day, and he often does this for several hours. If he has no classes scheduled in the morning, he will even sit on this island until the afternoon.

Fortunately, he still has classes today.

No, after seeing him sitting there with a calm expression for more than two hours, he suddenly placed the half-carved stone slab beside him, then stood up and patted the back of his robe.

"It's almost there. There are still a few days until Christmas Eve. I will definitely finish it before then."

In fact, if there had not been a slight error in some of the tests during the period, he could have finished it earlier, and then the time would not be as tight as it is now.

After muttering to himself, he instantly activated the door key and appeared in front of the school gate in the blink of an eye.

An ancient magic text lesson was completed step by step. Maka did not leave the classroom immediately, but stayed at the podium waiting for Hermione to come over and ask questions.

Recently, Hermione often comes to him after class to ask about some deeper knowledge of ancient magic texts. Thinking of the practical application of runes that Hermione asked Harry and Ron to demonstrate last time, this "know-it-all lady" is afraid

I plan to study this subject to the end.

This is definitely a good thing for Maka. If Hermione can achieve something in this area in the future, he will not always have to conduct magic text research alone.

As far as academic research is concerned, no matter how strong a person's power is, it is limited, and both cooperation and inheritance are indispensable.

After all the doubts in Hermione's stomach were resolved one by one, the two of them walked to the auditorium together, preparing to enjoy today's lunch.

Since the Christmas notice on the bulletin board became a hot topic in the morning, there were quite a few students in the auditorium talking about it, and even Maka couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

As long as everyone likes it, that's great!

"Did Harry go up there again? Didn't you even eat lunch?"

Separating from Maka who was accompanying her, Hermione came to the Gryffindor table and sat down in her old seat. Only then did she realize that the chair diagonally opposite was still empty.

"Huh?" Ron chewed the food, nodded and said vaguely, "Yeah! It seems that he is really determined this time... Well, it's definitely not possible if he doesn't eat. I'll give it to him later.

go."

Ron's appetite has increased greatly in the past two days. He had been eating a lot, but now he was obviously eating more. Seeing him stuffing things into his mouth while talking, Hermione couldn't help but shook her head.

"Are you going to eat yourself like a pig?"

But after Ron heard this, he just shook the fork in his hand nonchalantly.

"I can't control myself either!"

The depressed mood was difficult to resolve, so he had no choice but to use delicious food to suppress it - Ron had embarked on a road of no return where he used violence to fight violence.

"...It's up to you!" Hermione pursed her lips, not bothering to say anything else to him.

After everyone finished the meal, Ron took Harry's lunch and walked to the Room of Requirements, while Hermione hurried back to the common room to explain to herself the knowledge points she had asked about from Maka.

Think about it again.

A lunch break was about to pass, but Ron ran over again carrying a lunch basket. It was obvious that he was a little anxious.

"Hermione," he leaned over the table and said in a low voice, "something's wrong today, Harry hasn't come out yet!"

Since the Room of Requirement was on the same floor as the Gryffindor common room, Ron's first choice was to turn to Hermione and talk.

When Hermione heard this, her expression suddenly changed slightly.

However, she still clearly remembered that Maka once said that as long as Harry was left alone, no one would be harmed. It was this sentence that prevented her from panicking immediately.

"You go back and guard first. I'll call Maka over there."

After saying that, Hermione immediately stood up and rushed towards the door of the lounge without waiting for Ron's response.

After a while, Maka, who was still drinking tea and taking a break in his office, suddenly found a source of magic rushing outside the door like wind, and then a series of knocks on the door rang.

He opened the door with a wave of his backhand, then turned around and looked towards the door.

"Hermione, what's wrong?"

Knowing that the other person came in such a hurry, there must be something urgent, so he didn't waste any words.

"It's Harry -" Hermione gasped, holding on to the doorframe, "Ron said he went in before lunch, but until now..."

Before she finished speaking, Maka understood what she wanted to tell her.

"Stayed in there all afternoon?"

As he walked out, he thought for a while.

But as he said to Hermione, if Harry is alone in a closed space, no accidents will happen. And even if there are other people next to him, the accident will only happen to that "other person"

", Harry himself will be fine.

However, a theory is just a theory, and everything is particularly uncertain. Instead of wondering here, it is better to go over and take a look.

"You and Ron will leave that corridor in a moment, don't get too close, you know?"

The two of them ran forward quickly, and Maka warned Hermione.

"Um."

Seeing Hermione's hasty response, Maka was naturally worried and even reached out to pat her shoulder.

"I'll repeat it again, don't get too close! Remember."

When it comes to danger, the power of the Sword of Gryffindor cannot be underestimated. To some extent, it is even more terrifying than the Bewitching Monument and the Devouring Mirror of the same level.

But its characteristics made its danger relatively controllable, so Maka felt free to let Harry, who seemed to be recognized by the sword, try to control it alone.

Not long after, Hermione and Maka both rushed to the corridor outside the Room of Requirement, and then saw Ron spinning around in a panic.

"Ron, you and Hermione should stay away for a while and leave it to me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Maka started walking back and forth in front of the blank wall. (To be continued)
