Chapter 374: Go your own way

Because of their appointment to meet the Hermiones, Maca and Hagrid didn't stay in Glop for long, and soon they said goodbye to Glop and headed for the hunting lodge.
Of course, it is not clear whether Glop can understand the meaning of farewell.
On the way back, Maca found that Hagrid's words had diminished.
Perhaps Dumbledore's death had dealt a heavy blow to him. Only by his uneasy brother, would he temporarily let go of his sadness and devote himself to the care of Glopp?
"Hagrid," Maca comforted him. "We shouldn't be sorry for Dumbledore's death. In fact, he is just one step further in the path of magic."
"Yes, I understand ..." Hagrid said dullly, "Like Dumbledore has been saying, he must have gone on 'another great adventure' ..."
"Yes, that's it." Maca patted his sturdy arm. "I've seen him. He's doing fine ... but he's still the same, he doesn't speak clearly, he always likes to play mazes!"
"Have you seen him?" Hagrid turned his head suddenly, eyes widened.
"Well," Maca nodded, "I have to say ... it's like dreaming!"
The two chatted casually, and returned to the hut like a walk. On the way, Hagrid called Yaya, who was patrolling the edge of the forbidden forest, and brought it back to the hunting lodge.
Because of a delay in Glop, Hagrid had just used a copper kettle to drink some water and put it on the iron shelf of a fireplace that Maca had lit, and then there was a sound of chaotic footsteps outside the door.
It looks like Hermione has come over.
"Hagrid, did you tell them about Glop?" Marca asked just a few words, and then there were three knocks at the door.
The teeth on the back of the door barked immediately.
"Oh! No, of course not! You shouldn't tell them about this, you know--" Hagrid waved his hands quickly, then turned his head and shouted, "Come here! Open the door for you now!"
"Tooth, get out of the way-go under the table!"
"Maca, are you coming first?"
As soon as Hagrid opened the door, Hermione's head came in, and she waved her hand happily when she saw Maca.
"It's not too long ago, you see-the kettles have just been put on!" Maca smiled. "Come in! It's getting colder and colder recently ... oh Luna?"
As soon as Hermione got into the hut, Luna came in behind her, and of course Harry and Ron, who were always with Hermione.
"Maca!"
After seeing him, Luna walked to him immediately, and stretched out her fair little hand and patted him.
"What's wrong?" Maka asked her to tap lightly on herself, curiously.
"Today in Maju class, Maca doesn't look very energetic," Luna said quietly. "Are you not hurt? What bad thing happened?"
"Oh ..." Maca blinked, then shook her head. "It's okay, I'm fine."
Luna seemed to be relieved, she nodded gently, and her light golden hair slid down in front of her as she moved her hands behind her ears.
"Maca," she pointed at Hermione a bit solemnly, "my friend."
Maca glanced at Hermione who was a little confused, and looked at Luna with a serious look, then she smiled mildly. But just when he wanted to say something, Hermione spoke.
"... friend?" She said blankly.
Luna froze, then looked at Hermione stupidly and asked softly, "Isn't it?"
"Ah, oh-of course, of course!" Hermione nodded immediately, smiling, "Of course we are already friends! Always!"
"Well," Luna's eyes flashed with hazy contentment, her lips twitched slightly, "always."
As she was talking, she pointed Harry and Ron one by one, even Hagrid and Toya, as if trying to introduce her friends to Maca.
The joy in her heart was almost almost eager.
"Well, don't stand-just sit down!"
Hagrid greeted everyone to find a place to sit, and he added some wood to the fireplace. Then he pulled an animal skin blanket to the ground, and sat down against the fireplace.
"Hagrid, shouldn't you expand the hut? As soon as there are more people, it feels very crowded ..." Maca looked around, "Anyway, there is a lot of open space around, and the materials are also available. "
"Forget it ..." Hagrid thought for a while, "I don't usually come here on weekdays, it seems that it is not necessary."
"Aren't you planning to get married or something?" Maca shrugged.
"Married?" Hagrid seemed to be frightened, and suddenly raised his voice. "No, no, no, how could you ... look at me like this, which woman can be seen?"
"Hagrid, I think Maca is right, you should also find a wife!" Ron coquettishly. "The house needs to be bigger and more beautiful, so that it will be easier to get a wife. "
"Nonsense!" Hermione countered immediately. "Girls pay more attention to character, but not a house can solve the problem!"
"Oh, I mean ..."
"What do you guys know! Of course, this kind of thing is more clear to me!" As soon as Hermione's temper came up, she suddenly drew her hips and poked her fingers on Ron's nose.
Ron reached out and raised his hands over his head, surrendering, but kept his mouth open.
"That's not what I said, it's what my mother said--" he whispered, "She often tells Ginny that she needs a big house to live well, and it's best to marry a hardworking and motivated man. "
"... She always used this to train her father, saying that he was always not doing his job and was not good at making money, so the family was always so poor."
On the side, Harry watched the daily quarrel between them and reluctantly scratched his scalp; while Luna, who was sitting next to Maca, looked very interested, listening to their contentment with interest.
"That's because your children have too many children!" Maca laughed. "Again, don't watch your mother say that, in fact she loves your father ..."
Speaking of this, it seems that they feel that the topic can't be recovered after so long, preventing them from continuing to argue.
"Okay, I'm not right, it's a bit far-fetched ..." He paused, "Hermione, let's talk! What are you trying to tell me to do here today?"
"Oh, yes! I almost forgot ..." Hermione said suddenly, "Maca, we discussed it and thought it wouldn't work just like that ..."
"Why not?" Maca asked.
"Dark magic defense class," Hermione said earnestly, "we didn't learn anything at all in that woman's class, but the situation is not good now ... you know what I mean."
"We have been working hard during this time, but this is definitely not enough! And not only us, other classmates at Hogwarts are also in danger. We don't want to wait for you when we are in danger. Come to the rescue with the professors. "
"and so……"
"So?" Maca probably understood what Hermione wanted to say.
"So we want to convene some classmates who are willing to come with us and learn the real 'Dark Magic Defense' together!" Harry suddenly stood up, with a trace of determination in his eyes, "We want to invite you to come Be the teacher! "
As far as Harry is concerned, it's invaluable that he can take the initiative to say this.
He had been lacking in self-confidence after fearing Gryffindor's sword. The courage that belongs to him has been crushed to the bottom of his heart in that accident.
When Voldemort was no longer clinging to prophecy and no longer clinging to Harry, Harry, who had learned the technique of enclosing the brain, had not encountered any trouble for a long time.
In this school year, in addition to being attacked by a Dementor before the start of school, many other events seem to have happened since. But Harry found that things were almost nothing to do with him.
But in this relatively comfortable situation ~ EbookFREE.me ~ he still decided to stand up and do his best for Hogwarts and everyone.
It can be imagined that he must have experienced a lot of painful struggles in his heart.
"……is it?"
Maca glanced subconsciously at Luna next to her, then stared at Harry's eyes for a moment.
"Maca?" Hermione called him.
If Maca hadn't thought about it, it was certainly impossible. He had considered it many times before that.
Whether it's for Luna, or Harry, or Hermione and Ron, it's unwise to decide to get them involved in a dispute.
Not to mention Luna, Harry alone, it is no longer necessary for him to be involved. As Harry's best friends, Hermione and Ron now naturally have no reason to plunge into the darkness.
They can become stronger and have more self-protection capabilities, which is obviously the best thing. But this does not mean that they really want to join the queue against Voldemort.
But does he Maca McLean really have the right to make decisions for others?
At this moment, Maca thought of the kind old wizard, Dumbledore.
When Maca showed amazing qualifications in his eyes, it goes without saying that in the eyes of everyone, he was the best choice to deal with Voldemort.
But Dumbledore had never restrained Maca at all. He did not use Maca's relationship with others to guide him in any decision-this was what he was best at.
Even in the end, in the space on the edge of death, the old man only told him something about magic.
"... Speaking of it, he finally got rid of his own bond because of breaking away from the restraints given to him by others, right?"
