At around two o'clock in the morning, Sarah, who was chatting with Hermione, suddenly turned around, and then she saw the familiar figure coming out of the distortion of space.

"Good evening...oh, Hermione, you here too?"

Arriving at St. Mungo's was earlier than Maca expected, which was obviously a good thing for him.

"You're back." Seeing this, Sarah took the lead in saying hello to him.

On the other side, compared to Sarah's polite look, Hermione's face looked a little less pretty at this time.

"Of course I'm here..." she complained with a look of dissatisfaction. "It's not because someone suddenly disappeared without a trace. A lot of things happened at St. Mungo's... In order to ensure the injury and treatment

The safety of the divisions is not just mine, everyone is taking turns to be on guard!"

"Oh, okay! This is all my fault," Maka said with a smile, leaning on the staff gently, "Well, I know this whole day has been bad, thank you for your hard work..."

As he spoke, he changed his subject and said:

"But I have to say, it is precisely because I have seen your growth that I can leave with peace of mind!"

To be honest, what he said was only half true. Although he was indeed willing to admit Hermione and the others' current abilities, in fact, there was really no way to say he was "reassuring."

During the short trip to Chateau Blois in France, he was still quite worried about his opponent this time, after all, the extremely dangerous ancient wizard Herbo!

But now it seems that everyone's performance is still very good, isn't it?

Although Maka didn't know the specific details of how everyone at St. Mungo's resisted Haierbo this time, the fact that Haierbo fell into the trap just as he expected was enough for him to praise him.

After smiling at Hermione again, he nodded and said:

"Okay, you go and have a rest! It's already very late... Remember to tell everyone that guarding is necessary, but don't forget to ensure adequate rest. At present, Sarah can sense the situation in the entire hospital. The main thing is

Leave the vigilance to her!"

"What's the situation like in the entire hospital?"

Hermione was stunned for a moment, and then cast a questioning look at Sarah with wide eyes.

"Is that so? Why have you never mentioned it to us?"

When Sarah heard this, she shook her head innocently.

"Because you haven't asked about it?" she said, "But it doesn't matter whether you say it or not. My observations here are not very subtle, and everyone's inspections are also very important."

"You...then you should also say something!"

Hermione pursed her lips slightly, not knowing what to say, and glanced at Maka again angrily, and finally turned around and walked towards the stairs.

"Ah, that's right!" She suddenly turned around and said, "Maka, I can understand that you were trying to seduce Haierbo this time, but... you won't leave again, right?"

"certainly."

Maka nodded slightly and smiled apologetically again.

"That's good……"

Having said that, Hermione's figure also disappeared on the other side of the stairs. She still had to rush to readjust the patrol standards of R.A.'s friends!

"call"

Seeing Hermione go downstairs, Maka couldn't help but relax a little, and then sat down on the armchair next to her.

Just as he said to Willie's father, after solving the blood curse problem for Willie, he came back immediately without any rest.

In fact, the one who should go and have a good sleep right now is himself.

"Are you OK?"

Sarah, who was sitting next to the formation formation, looked at the tired look on his face, and couldn't help but express some kind concern. But before Maka could answer, she suddenly turned her head and looked in the direction Hermione left.

past.

It's Hermione, she's back!

Almost at the same time, Maka quickly moved her buttocks and straightened her upper body that had just collapsed.

"What's wrong?"

Looking at Hermione who had just gone down but then returned again, Maka couldn't help but feel a little confused. Especially this time, Hermione's expression was still slightly hesitant, which was not her style.

"Oh, that's right"

Hermione, who was standing at the top of the stairs, was talking when she suddenly turned back and glanced down the stairs, and then took a few more steps this way as if she was afraid that someone below would hear her.

"Maka, there is something I want to tell you...it's about Professor Sinistra and Mr. Victor."

"Mr. Victor?"

When Hermione mentioned this last name, the first thing Maka thought of was Little Victor. And if Sinister and Little Victor were put together, all he could think of at the first moment seemed to be...

"What? Does Professor Sinistra finally want to get rid of being single?" Maka said with a little surprise, "With her vision, she doesn't want to fall in love with a married man, right?"

"What are you talking about!" Hermione waved her hands quickly, "I'm not talking about Mr. Victor, but his father."

"oh!"

Maka immediately raised her eyebrows, and even looked at the stairs differently.

Of course, no matter how rich his imagination is, he still has common sense. After teasing Hermione, he immediately shrugged and said:

"Okay, can you tell me what happened between Professor Sinistra and Mr. Victor?"

Hermione, who was a little annoyed by Maka's little joke just now, finally just glared at him helplessly.

However, being interrupted by Maka, some of the troubles in her heart seemed to be diluted a lot, and even the hesitation in her tone suddenly disappeared.

"The whole thing is like this..."

After telling Maka the past about old Victor and Aurora's mother, Maka also nodded thoughtfully.

He was somewhat mentally prepared for little Victor's anomaly. A guy who could ride a broomstick and fly around in the sky was probably inseparable from the magic world.

What he didn't expect was that the father and son he met in Greenwich Park actually had a story that could be related to Hogwarts.

Finally, Hermione confessed again:

"...And when Sirius asked me to choose whether to respect the professor's actions or to expose the truth to Mr. Victor on behalf of the professor, I chose the latter."

"It's just...even though I have done this, I still don't know if what I did is right or wrong?"

When Maka heard this, she already understood where Hermione was confused.

"I think what's bothering you is probably not 'right' and 'wrong'." He spread his hands and said, "Because you always trust your own reason and rarely rely on your own feelings like this.

Take action. So what you are worried about... is whether your impulse this time will have bad consequences for the professors and them, right?"

When Hermione heard this, she did not deny it, but murmured in a low voice:

"It's not because of what you said before...'As long as the result is good, you don't have to care how bad the process is'!"

"Did I say so?"

Maka recalled it with some confusion, but soon smiled noncommittally.

"Just treat it like you said it!" He said, "But don't worry, we don't say whether the result will be good or not. Even if it is good for the time being, there is no guarantee that it will continue to be good, right?"

"So, don't think about it so much! As long as you do what you think is the right thing, it will be fine... Didn't you say you would be responsible for it?"

"that's all?"

Hermione tilted her head in confusion, but under Maka's "That's it" expression, she nodded silently.

"Professor Sinistra is down there, right?" Maka saw the awkward look on her face and could only gesture towards the stairs, "Since you don't understand, why not just go and take a peek?"

It was definitely not good to eavesdrop on other people's conversations, but Hermione's mind was now filled with thoughts that were hard to let go of. She just paused for a moment, feeling unbearably itchy, and immediately turned around and tiptoed down again.

This time, it seems that at least she won't come back soon, right?

Seeing Hermione leave, Macadon immediately relaxed again and slumped lazily on the chair beneath him. After resting for a while, he turned his head and glanced at Sarah.

"How's it going?" he said. "You know, I'm asking about the 'other side.'"

Ever since Haierbo was trapped on the "backside" of St. Mungo's, there hasn't been any accidents so far, not even the slightest movement.

But that was Haierbo after all, and being "company" with this guy at such a close distance would not make people really feel at ease.

When Maka asked, Sarah lowered her head and checked the formation again, and then said cautiously:

"Judging from what is displayed in the refining formation, no abnormalities have been found so far."

"Well," Maka thought for a while and said, "please check it carefully! After I take a short rest, I will go there myself..."

"Are you... okay?" Sarah asked in a rare moment, "I see your condition."

"The condition is fine," Maka interrupted her, "Don't worry, I will be able to do things normally after drinking a bottle of magic potion. You should check the formation formation first..."

"By the way, you can also be happy that regarding your soul problem, I may have found a right direction to solve it."

Not to mention whether Sarah can be "happy"! Anyway, this is indeed good news for her.

While Sarah started to carefully inspect the formation as she requested, Maka couldn't help but slowly closed her eyelids, leaned back on the chair, closed her eyes and regained consciousness.

In fact, he was also considering whether to wait until he had enough rest before checking the situation at Haierbo. After all, he was really tired this time.

However, Maka was not sure whether Herbo would just escape while he was resting. Such a possibility is not non-existent. (To be continued)
