Chapter 77: Restless Little Lions

The last days of vacation at Lovgood's house were like a busy day for Maca.
没 Instead of holding his notebooks, he accompanied Luna to catch fish and worms in Houshan, and then took a nap under the shade of trees.
I just came to school soon, and Maca had to end his real holiday time.
Senofilius sent Maca and Luna to King's Cross Station, watched them pass through the wall post, and then hurried back to work.
I don't know if it's because they came too early. There are hardly any people on the platform.
Hmm, except for the huge figure of Hagrid, which can be seen from a distance.
Umaka walked closer with Luna, only to find that there was another person being blocked by Hagrid's body like a wall.
"Good morning, Professor Hagrid." Maca patted Hagrid's arm, "Oh, yes, and Professor Lupin ... I look forward to your lesson."
Luna next to Maka also nodded slightly to the two as a courtesy.
哦 "Oh-Maca, how do you know-" Hagrid looked at Maca in surprise.
"It's nothing, when I saw the" Monster Books of the Monsters "in Lichen Bookstore, I was already mentally prepared." Maca spread her hands, calmly.
"Haha! I heard that those books have given the bookstore manager a headache for a while!" Professor Lu Ping, who was opposite Hager, laughed.
Although Lupin should be very young, there are a lot of wrinkles on his face. He had grey hair and a ragged suit, and his shabby robes were patched and looked exhausted.
Wu Ke's naughty energy when talking, but reveals his unruly and calm heart.
Lupin apparently already knew about Maca, a low-key and talented student. He was enthusiastically chatting with Maca, and made a joke from time to time, not treating him as a child at all .
It is worth mentioning that Maca has given Hagrid some suggestions for course arrangement, but it is really uncertain whether Hagrid can hear it.
Luna stood silently looking at Maca's side, and gradually, the students around began to increase.
"Well, get in the car! Maca ... and Miss Lovegood." Lu Ping laughed.
玛 When Maca followed Lupin on the Hogwarts express train, and planned to take Luna back, she stretched Ramaka's sleeve.
"I'm going to a friend, will you also come?" Luna said softly.
Maca looked at the back of Lupin walking in front, and looked at Luna, could not help but think for a moment.
"Luna, I still have something to do ..." Maca said, "You hold this. If you encounter a dementor, open the stopper."
He said, plugging a milky potion bottle into Luna's hand.
"Well, you still have these chocolates. If you feel uncomfortable, eat them. It works."
Maka watched Luna walk into a compartment of the carriage, and then she continued to walk backwards.
Although he wanted to keep Luna with him. But maybe the farther away is the most suitable choice, after all, something unpleasant will happen most of the time.
After a while, the train sprayed steam and started moving slowly.
At this moment, Harry, Ron and Hermione, who had been delayed for a while by the Weasleys, also came. They were searching for empty carriages along the corridor, but all of them were full.
I walked around, they found that they had reached the last compartment.
哦 "Oh-Maca!" Hermione said in surprise.
Harry is just as happy, only Ron's face is not very good.
Maka stood up and greeted the three of them. He stretched his hand naturally, hooked Ron's shoulder, and pulled him beside him.
"Hey, don't care so much," Maca whispered, "I know what you're thinking, but anyway, that's gone ..."
"Oh-I think so." Ron whispered.
He could see that the expression on his face seemed a little lighter.
"Maca, who is it?" Harry asked, pointing at the man in the corner.
Lupin is probably tired because he hastily hurried. After chatting with Maca for a while, he expressed a desire to take a short break.
At this moment, he was leaning against the window and fell asleep gently!
"The new professor of the Black Magic Defense course this semester, Mr. Lupin." Maca said gently, "Trust me, he is a qualified professor."
哦 "Oh, I hope so ... I mean, if you say something like that, I hope he can grow longer." Harry couldn't help it.
"But he looks weak?" At least Ronken spoke near Maca, though he still looked a little cautious, "Oh yes, Harry, what did you want to say to us in the aisle?"
Harry told them about the Weasleys' argument and the warning Mr. Weasley had just given him.
After he finished speaking, Ron seemed to have been struck by lightning, and Hermione covered her mouth with her hands.
"Sirius Black escaped to chase you? Oh, Harry ... you have to be more careful, be very careful! Don't ask for trouble, Harry ..." Hermione kept telling.
"I didn't bother myself," Harry said angrily. "Usually always trouble me."
要 "I don't need to worry about it like that," Maca said calmly. "Hogwarts is safe, you just don't run around."
But it is obviously a bit unrealistic to make the three little lions share a little peace.
It wasn't long before Harry and the three of them started discussing some interesting shops in Hogsmeade Village.
"Ron, do you know Hogsmeade?" Hermione asked sharply. "I read from the book that this is the only place in the UK without Muggles ..."
"Yes, I think so," Ron said indifferently, "but that's not why I want to go. I just want to go to the Duke of Honey!"
"What is that?" Hermione asked.
"It's a candy store," Maca said casually. "It's full of weird candies, but I have to say that several of them are good."
"But Hogsmeade is a very interesting place, isn't it?" Hermione hurriedly asked, "The book The Wizarding Place said that the small hotel was the headquarters of the monster rebellion of 1612, the screaming shed The house is probably the most haunted house in the UK by ghosts— "
"Are you scared of ghosts?" Maca asked back, "Did you not attend Nick's birthday party that was almost headless?"
没有 "No! I'm not afraid, I'm just curious ..." Hermione said, don't overdo it. "How good is it to leave Hogsmeade for a little while and leave school?"
"I think so," Harry said dullly, "you must tell me when you feel that way."
"What do you mean by that?" Ron said.
"I can't go. The Dursleys didn't sign the consent form for me, and Fudge refused."
"Will you not go?" Ron exclaimed, "but ... maybe ... Professor McGonagall or someone else will approve you."
干 Harry laughed.
Prof. McGonagall, Dean of Gryffindor College, is a very strict person.

—Otherwise we can ask Fred and George, they know every secret passage out of the castle—

"Ron!" Hermione said sharply, "With Blake's impunity, I don't think Harry should sneak out of school! And Maca said ..."
"Yes, I expected Professor McGonagall to say so when I asked for approval," Harry said bitterly.
"Should Maca go too?" Ron immediately turned his head and looked at Maca expectantly. "In that case, Black wouldn't--"
It seems that the mustard in his heart has been washed away by all the fun.
哦 "Oh, Ron, stop talking nonsense," Hermione snapped, "Blake has killed so many people on the crowded street, I don't want both Maca and Harry to have an accident ..."
说 She said as she fumbled to untie the straps tied to Crook Mountain's basket.
That was the pet cat Hermione just bought on Diagon Alley. She thought Crook Mountain was cute, but Ron obviously didn't think so.
别 "Don't let this thing go!" Ron called.
But it was too late, Crook Mountain easily jumped out of the basket, stretched, yawned, and then jumped onto Ron's lap.
The drum in Ron's pocket trembled, and Ron took the Crook Mountain angrily.
"Go away!"
"Ron, don't do this!" Hermione said angrily.
"Oh, right," Harry asked, looking at Crook Mountain on EbookFREE.me ~, curiously, "what about your owl? How can I never see it?" "
Maca shook her head when she heard the words.
"You mean Mafa? I don't always see it ... it likes to fly everywhere, and stays in the forbidden forest during the summer vacation."
The three little lions immediately looked at Maca in surprise, but Maca remained calm.
As he stroked Mount Crook's fur, he said lightly: "Maffa is a very opinionative owl. Maybe it has been closed for a long time. Now he likes the feeling of freedom."
The Hogwarts Express train steadily headed north, the scenery outside the window gradually became a continuous forest, and the surrounding environment became increasingly dark.
At the same time, the clouds above him became denser.
Outside the door of their carriage, people kept walking back and forth. Crook Mountain now steadily collapsed on Maca's leg. Its flat face turned to Ron, and his yellow eyes were always watching. In Ron's pocket.
At about one o'clock, the food cart rushed to the door of their compartment.
你们 "You said, should we wake him?" Ron looked awkwardly, Professor Lupin still tired in his sleep, "He looks like he needs something to eat."
不用 "Don't worry, I have a lot of food in the box, wait until he wakes up!"
Maca stopped Hermione, who wanted to wake up Lupin, and signaled that they only needed to take care of their stomachs.
教授 "Professor told me before bed that he was just a little tired."
In the afternoon, it began to rain, and the outline of the continuous hills outside the window gradually blurred in the rain curtain.
At this time, they heard footsteps in the aisle outside, and several people seemed to be slowly approaching here ...
