Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 374: Go the path of your own choice
Because they had made an appointment to meet with Hermione, Maca and Hagrid did not stay at Glop for long. Soon they said goodbye to Glop and headed to the hunting lodge.
Of course, it's unclear whether Glop can understand the meaning of goodbye.
On the way back, Maca found that Hagrid had less words.
Perhaps Dumbledore’s death was a big blow to him. Only by the side of his unconscious brother, will he temporarily relieve his sadness and devote himself to taking care of Glop. Right?
"Hagrid," Maca comforted him, "We shouldn't be sorry for Dumbledore's death. In fact, he is just a step forward on the path of magic."
"Yes, I understand..." Hagrid said dullly, "As Dumbledore kept saying, he must have gone on'another great adventure'..."
"Yes, that's it." Maca patted his sturdy arm vigorously. "I've seen him, and he's doing well...but he's still the same, he doesn't speak clearly, I always like it. Fight the dummy!"
"Have you seen him?" Hagrid suddenly turned his head, his eyes widened.
"Well," Maca nodded, "If I have to say...it seems to be in a dream!"
The two chatted casually and went back to the hut like a walk. On the way, Hagrid summoned Yaya, who was patrolling the edge of the forbidden forest, and brought them back to the hunting lodge.
Because of the delay in Glop’s place before, Hagrid had just made some water with a copper kettle and put it on the iron shelf of the Maca-lit fireplace to cook, and there was a chaotic sound outside the door. Footsteps.
It seems that Hermione and the others have already rushed over.
"Hagrid, have you told them about Glop?" Maca just asked casually, and three knocks were heard at the door.
Ya, who was lying behind the door, barked immediately.
"Oh! No, of course not! You shouldn't tell them about this, you know—" Hagrid waved his hand quickly, then turned his head and shouted, "Come on! I'll open the door for you!"
"Yaya, get out-go under the table!"
"Maca, are you here first?"
As soon as Hagrid opened the door, Hermione's head poked in. As soon as she saw Maca, she waved to this side happily.
"It's not long before, you see-the kettle has just been put on!" Maca smiled and said, "Come in! The weather is getting colder and colder recently...Oh, Luna?"
As soon as Hermione got into the cabin, Luna followed her in, and of course Harry and Ron, who had been with Hermione, followed.
"Maca!"
After seeing him, Luna immediately walked to him and stretched out her little white hand to pat him.
"What's the matter?" Maca asked her slightly curiously, letting her pat lightly on her body.
"Maca didn't look very energetic in the magic text class today." Luna said in a daze, "Is there no injury? What happened to something bad?"
"Oh..." Maca blinked, then shook his head, "It's okay, I'm fine."
Luna seemed to be relieved, she nodded lightly, and her long pale blonde hair slipped in front of her with her movements, and was pulled back behind her ears by her smoothly.
"Maca," she pointed to Hermione somewhat solemnly, "my friend."
Maca looked at Hermione who was a little confused, then looked at Luna with a serious face, and then gave a gentle smile. But just when he wanted to say something, Hermione spoke up.
"...friend?" she said dazedly.
Luna froze for a moment, then looked at Hermione blankly, and asked softly, "Isn't it?"
"Ah, oh--of course, of course it is!" Hermione nodded and smiled immediately, "Of course we are already friends! We have always been!"
"Well," Luna's eyes flashed with dim satisfaction, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, "Always."
As she said, she pointed Harry and Ron, even Hagrid and Yaya, one by one, as if she wanted to introduce her friends to Maca.
The joy in her heart is almost obvious.
"Okay, don't stand-sit down!"
Hagrid greeted everyone to find a place to sit, and he put some firewood into the fireplace, and then he pulled a blanket of animal skins and spread it on the ground, and sat down against the fireplace.
"Hagrid, shouldn't your hut be expanded? As there are more people, it feels very crowded here..." Maca looked around, "Anyway, there is a lot of open space around, and the materials are now available. Yes."
"Forget it..." Hagrid thought for a while, "I usually don't come here on weekdays, it doesn't seem to be necessary."
"Aren't you going to get married or something?" Maca shrugged.
"Marriage?" Hagrid seemed to be frightened. He raised his voice immediately, "No, no, no, how could... You look at me like this, which woman can you like?"
"Hagrid, I think Maca is right. You should find a wife too!" Ron roared happily. "The house needs to be bigger and more beautiful so that it will be easier to negotiate. It’s my wife—"
"Nonsense!" Hermione immediately retorted, "Girls pay more attention to character, but not a house can solve problems!"
"Oh, I mean really..."
"What do you guys know! Of course I know more about this kind of thing!" Hermione got her temper, and she suddenly raised her waist, almost poking her fingers on Ron's nose.
Ron hurriedly stretched out his hands above his head in a gesture of surrender, but his mouth didn't stop.
"This is not what I said, but my mother said--" he whispered, "She often tells Ginny that she needs a big house to live a good life, and it's best to marry a diligent and motivated person. Good man."
"...She always used this to train her father, saying that he is always not doing his job properly and making money, so the family has always been so poor."
Harry on the side watched their daily quarrel and scratched his scalp helplessly; while Luna, who was sitting next to Maca, looked very interested, listening to their quarrel with relish.
"That's because your family has too many children!" Maca smiled, "Besides, don't look at your mother saying that, in fact, she loves your father very much..."
Speaking of this, it seemed that they felt that the topic would not be able to be collected after this, and it prevented them from continuing to argue.
"Okay, I'm wrong, it's a bit far away..." He paused, "Hermione, let's talk about it! What did you call me here today to tell me?"
"Oh, yes! I almost forgot..." Hermione said suddenly, "Maca, we discussed it, and I think it won't work just like this..."
"What can't you do?" Maca asked.
"Defense Against the Dark Arts class," Hermione said earnestly, "we didn't learn anything in that woman's class, but things are not good now...you know what I mean."
"We have been studying hard all this time, but this is definitely not enough! And not just us, other Hogwarts classmates are also facing danger, we don’t want to have to Waiting for you and the professors to come to your rescue."
"So..."
"So?" Maca probably understood what Hermione wanted to say.
"So we want to gather some classmates who are willing to come with us to learn the real'defense to the dark arts' together!" Harry stood up suddenly, his eyes with a trace of determination, "We thought Please be this teacher!"
As far as Harry is concerned, it is actually commendable that he can take the initiative to say this sentence.
He has been lacking self-confidence in himself since he became afraid of the Gryffindor sword. The courage that belonged to him has been firmly pressed in the bottom of my heart in that accident.
When Voldemort was no longer obsessed with prophecies and at the same time he was no longer obsessed with Harry, Harry, who learned Occlumency, has not encountered any trouble for a long time.
In this school year, in addition to an attack by a dementor before the beginning of school, a lot of important things seemed to have happened after that. But Harry discovered that almost nothing had anything to do with him.
But under this relatively comfortable situation~IndoMTL.com~ he still decided to stand up and do his part for Hogwarts and everyone.
It is conceivable that he must have gone through a lot of painful struggles in his heart.
"...really?"
Maca subconsciously glanced at Luna next to him, then stared at Harry's eyes again, and there was a moment of silence.
"Maca?" Hermione called him.
It is of course impossible to say that Maca has not thought about it. Before that, he had considered it many times.
Whether it is for Luna, or for Harry, or for Hermione and Ron, it is unwise to decide whether to involve them in a dispute.
Leave aside Luna, it's only Harry, now it's no longer necessary to let him in. As Harry's best friends, Hermione and Ron naturally had no reason to plunge into the darkness.
They can become stronger and have more self-protection ability, which is obviously a better thing. But this does not mean that they are really required to join the queue to deal with Voldemort.
But, Maca McLean, does he really have the right to make decisions for others?
At this moment, Maca thought of the kind old wizard-Dumbledore.
When Maca showed amazing aptitude in his eyes, needless to say, he was the best candidate to deal with Voldemort in anyone's eyes.
But Dumbledore has never made any restrictions on Maca. He didn't use Maca's relationship with other people to guide him to make any decision-this is what he is best at.
Even in the end, in the space on the edge of death, the old man only told him something related to magic.
"...Speaking of it, he finally regained his own path because he broke free from the shackles that others gave him, right?"
