"That guy ran away again."

Emerging from the formation that erupted with a ball of light, Maka casually threw the things he was dragging on the floor and sat back on the armchair he had been sitting on before.

Sarah on the side looked at the ground subconsciously, and then asked:

"He ran away? From a completely enclosed space? And... what is this?"

The thing that Maka just threw on the floor looked like a ball of rags, and it had probably not been washed for decades, so it was extremely dirty.

Hearing this, Maka explained simply and clearly while rubbing her eyebrows:

"That should be Helbo's body - you know, the 'this time' body, a dementor that he had reshaped."

"As for how he escaped... To be honest, I haven't figured it out yet. But one thing is for sure, that is, the way he escaped from that space must have something to do with his soul."

To be precise, it is related to the "soul rules", but obviously there is no need to explain such details so clearly.

After listening to Maka's explanation, Sinista, who was sitting on the other side, immediately stood up before Sarah could react.

"Then I'll go and inform everyone immediately that St. Mungo's needs to strengthen its protection! McClain, you--" She was just talking, but she was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Oh, you'd better take a rest first!"

When she said this, Sinistra seemed to be hesitant to speak, but because the situation seemed to be very urgent, she swallowed the words that were about to come to her mouth.

However, Maka immediately called out to Sinistra who was about to run towards the stairs.

"Professor Sinistra, no need! Everyone has been working very hard these past few days, so let them continue to sleep!"

"But--"

"It's okay," Maka said, shaking her head at her who turned around, "I think that 'he' should have just left and will not be back in a short time... I was there when he left.

A very strong residual magic power was felt at this location, which proves that although his method of escaping was mysterious, it must have consumed a lot of money."

Besides, even though Herbo in his remnant state is much stronger than Voldemort, he still has huge limitations. Since he abandoned his body this time, it means that he has temporarily given up his plan to continue harassing St. Mungo's.

"Of course, the minimum level of vigilance is still needed, leave it to Sarah!"

Smiling at Sarah, Maka suddenly took out a teapot from her waist, stood up and walked towards the fireplace.

"Sarah, and Professor Sinistra, thank you for your hard work this time." He said as he walked, "I won't say much thanks, let's sit down and have some tea together! I still have some here that I got from Hogwarts

Desserts brought from the kitchen..."

"McLean!"

Seeing that he was going to make tea, Sinistra finally couldn't help but said:

"Stop being busy, you should go and rest - you may not know that Miss Granger just found out that you left again and she seemed very unhappy!"

"Hermione?"

Maka paused, and after thinking about it for a moment, a wry smile soon appeared on her face.

"I'll find time to talk to her later!"

After whispering like this softly, he went to the fireplace to make a pot of tea for Sarah and Sinistra, and then went to sleep honestly under the urging of the two of them in turn.

…

In fact, the moment Maka just lay down, the sky outside started to get dark.

If I have to say it, compared to the chaos during the day yesterday, this night was actually quite peaceful.

Although everyone at St. Mungory's slept soundly to some extent, and some even suffered from insomnia because they couldn't rest at ease, fortunately, they had a peaceful night in the end.

And because Haierpo has now disappeared without a trace, Sarah has also lifted the seal within the refinement formation, and many patients who have recovered or have minor injuries can go home.

When Maka slept until she woke up at noon, St. Mungo's finally returned to a basically normal hospital mode from the temporary shelter. At least the "floor array" in the hall had been cleared.

But, of course! After all, many of the patients in the previous London disaster were seriously injured, and the most important ones were those whose souls were burned by the black flames. Even though Maka has been focusing on treatment in the past few days, they have not yet

Fa'er left here casually.

Just like Kingsley, he still can't get to the ground by himself!

"Hey, this year's Christmas vacation has just passed a few days, right? I don't know if the remaining days can be a little peaceful..."

"It depends on whether that 'Mr. Haierbo' gives you face."

At the door, Ron, who had just sent out a minor injury patient who had completed the discharge procedures, was chatting casually with Harry, who was working with him.

Although they still have more than a year before graduation, just looking at their proficiency, people who don't know may think that the two of them are veterans who have been working for many years.

"By the way, Harry, have you seen Hermione today?"

Seeing Ron suddenly change the topic, Harry recalled:

"I saw it in the morning. She probably went to catch up on her sleep now... What's wrong?"

"Last night when I was on duty, I met Hermione," Ron shrugged. "She said she was looking for Luna, and she seemed to be in a hurry... Do you have any clues?"

"Uh, no..."

Harry immediately shook his head. Naturally, he had no idea why Hermione went to find Luna.

After half a night of confusion and thinking, Ron clearly had his own ideas. Seeing Harry's puzzled expression, he immediately pulled him aside.

"When you saw Hermione this morning, did you notice anything unusual about her?"

"What's abnormal?"

At this time, Ron looked a little mysterious, and he didn't know what he was thinking about. Of course, Harry didn't know what Ron was thinking about. Seeing him mention the word "abnormal", he thought it was something.

It’s related to Haierbo again!

"Are you saying that Hermione might be possessed by Helbo? Oh, I really hope I haven't found anything, but to be cautious, let's go find Maka first!"

"No, no, no," Ron quickly stopped, "That's not what I meant...Hermione is fine, at least I think there is no problem. I just want to say...Did Hermione have a fight with Luna?"

"What are they arguing about?" Harry was pulled by Ron and finally stopped, but he felt more and more confused as Ron spoke again.

Ron actually knew that Harry was slow in this regard, but if he didn't tell Harry about this matter, he found that he couldn't find a more suitable person to talk to.

So, he had no choice but to explain in a low voice:

"Harry, don't you think...Hermione and Luna both like Maka?"

"Of course I know that, right?"

Ron didn't expect that Harry would answer so neatly this time, and also said that he knew about the complicated relationship between Maca, Hermione, and Luna.

"You know?" Ron said in surprise, "I thought... Well, then why don't you understand why they quarreled? Isn't this a natural thing - they will eventually reach a 'winner'

Come."

But Harry waved his hand decisively as if he didn't agree with his statement at all.

"Luna, I actually don't know what she is thinking, but as for Hermione, I don't think she will quarrel with Luna." Harry said, "Just like studying - Hermione prefers to rely on strength to speak, no

?"

"Well……"

When Ron heard what Harry said, although he felt that his thinking was a bit too simple, there was a certain truth in it.

After thinking about it for a while, he nodded slightly, unsurely.

"'Relying on strength'...that's right, eh? How come your brain is so bright this time? I remember that you didn't have any idea about this aspect before, right?"

"Really?" Harry scratched his head and said, "Maybe it's because of Ginny? She sometimes tells me things about girls... Maybe I'll understand a little more after listening to it!"

"Ginny--"

Ron glanced at Harry with a complicated expression, and couldn't help but sigh in discomfort.

"Remember to be good to her all your life, otherwise even if you are my best friend, I will never forgive you."

After glaring at Harry for a short moment of warning, he continued to say in confusion:

"So...what did Hermione do to find Luna? I think she was really anxious at the time..."

Afterwards, the two of them turned around and walked back while muttering to each other.

Just as they left, two figures appeared at the door, one of which was the Ginny whom Ron and Harry had just mentioned.

But she glanced at the two people's retreating figures in confusion, as if she had heard something just at that moment.

"Miss Weasley?"

Just when Ginny was stunned, the witch beside her couldn't help but call her softly.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I seem to be a little distracted!" Ginny said hurriedly, "Please come over here... Before I take you to confirm your identity, I have to let you see Mr. Black first, and then let him

Lead you over."

"It's okay," the other party said with a smile, "I can understand, after all, so many things happened yesterday, I know this must be more careful."

When Ginny heard what she said, she immediately smiled and said:

"Yes, there's nothing we can do about it! Maka... Oh, I mean, Professor McClain is still resting, so we have to make sure no accidents happen while he is sleeping..."

"You have also been helped by Professor MacLean, so I think you can understand our feelings - Miss Miriam."

When Ginny called the young witch by name, her identity became obvious. Not to mention why she came to St. Mungo's.

"Of course I understand," Miriam said, "Not to mention Asaph... I don't care if I wait a little longer." (To be continued)
