() "Dinner has probably already started. Go back first! After I get Hagrid back to bed and settle down, I have to go to the office first—" Maca said while sitting at the table, "It starts after dinner. For our first meeting, we have to prepare something."

After Hagrid became drunk and unconscious, the three of Maca and Luna chatted for a while.The flame in the fireplace warmed this small wooden house, making the atmosphere gradually warmer.

At least when Hagrid was completely drunk, the expression on his face really relaxed.

At dinner time, after Luna and the others went to the auditorium first, Maca gently placed Hagrid on the bed with a floating spell, then pulled the bulging quilt to cover him, and then returned to the round table to clean up. .

"...As expected of a man of giant blood, the three barrels are almost empty?" He shook the small oak barrels on the table one by one, but only heard a very clear sound of water in the last one.

"Oh, I hope his mood can get better." Maca shook his head and whispered to himself, "If I have to say it, I also have an inescapable responsibility for this incident - go back to the forest and take care of the leftovers. Come down the ordinary eight-eyed giant spider!"

Although this cannot be regarded as atonement at all, it is at best a disguised self-satisfaction behavior.But if you do nothing, Maca always feels that it will leave some lumps in his heart.

For Maca, who is on the path to magic, the less lumps, the better.In this world, magic is closely related to the spiritual aspect of people; regardless of good or evil, it is very important to maintain a clear heart.

After tidying up the hut where everyone had fun together, Maca left quietly.

Hogwarts’ dinner time always emphasizes both taste and atmosphere, and this will not change much after Dumbledore’s death.

Perhaps some little wizards will still have nostalgia for the kind old principal, because from now on, he will never hear his inexplicable little jokes.

But for most students, the past will fade away with the passage of time.A few years later, the greatest white wizard of our time will probably, like other famous wizards in the past, be transformed into a bright symbol on many papers.

This may sound sad, and some people may even feel worthless for Dumbledore's various contributions, but this is undoubtedly a kind of "reality".

Some people say that when everyone forgets an existence, that existence ceases to exist; but others will say that it is precisely because it can be forgotten that it proves that existence once existed.

Maca, who had just arrived in the auditorium from the office, calmly nodded to them when passing by the long table of the students, and then took his seat on the faculty bench.

When he slowly scanned the chattering students in the hall, he was filled with emotion.

"Probably, Dumbledore wanted to understand this, right?" Maca could not help but savor this hazy awakening. "Whether it is a Muggle or a wizard, after all, it is small. Dumbledore is just like me. Pursuing the true meaning of magic, but the road he and I walked on was completely different scenery..."

"... When I opened the scroll of truth for the first time, I thought I had found a shortcut. Compared with the path chosen by Dumbledore, although my path seems short, it is obviously not a wise path. what!"

To be honest, Maca has gradually understood-he used to faintly look down on modern magic, but now he has discovered that although the "power" of magic is gradually lonely, but in the pursuit of the essence of magic, the path of modern magic But it is smoother and smoother than ancient magic.

Ancient magic that directly utilizes the rules of the world is naturally amazing, but it is not conducive to understanding and comprehension.Even if the talent is unusual, every attempt to study a rule rune will consume a lot of energy and time for the wizard, and even be trapped in his life.

Therefore, every generation of wizards is trying to improve with clearer forms, and various ancient magic texts gradually come out.

Thinking of this, Maca couldn't help feeling sincerely admiring the unknown wizard who created the modern spell. After all, he could clearly see the broken rule runes that flashed quickly during the spell.

A wizard who can do this is undoubtedly super wise.

And Dumbledore, walking along this smooth road paved by the predecessors, finally understood the future direction of life in his own way.

"This is true wisdom. In comparison, I can only be considered luck plus some self-righteous cleverness..."

Because the next step is to take on the task of guiding the defensive team. Unlike teaching ancient magic texts, it can already be regarded as a real way of guiding others.Therefore, Maca involuntarily began to re-examine the journey he had traveled.

People often say that while imparting knowledge to others, one's own understanding of knowledge will also deepen.

To be honest, this is the first time Maca has faced the modern curse.

After analyzing the cooling rune in the limit, in fact, his progress has been stagnated for a long time.And now, when he took a closer look, he finally found the direction he was going to go next.

"So, what Dumbledore said to me at the end..."

Macca still remembered that in that misty place, Dumbledore had said to him at the last moment an unclear word--

"...Continue along... the road... See you again..."

What path to continue along?Maca did not react in time at the time, but now, he vaguely understood what Dumbledore wanted to tell him.

"Then you might as well take a look along the path that the predecessors have taken!"

Maca breathed a sigh of relief, and then picked up a fork to fork a juicy meatball, stuffed it into his mouth and started chewing.As the delicious and rich gravy spread in his mouth, his mood seemed to become much firmer.

At this moment, Luna, who was sitting on the Ravenclaw table, glanced at Maca's side. A pair of clear eyes flashed lightly, and a trace of doubt passed faintly.

"...Dumbledore?" She looked at Maca and muttered to herself subconsciously.

...

After having dinner, Maca, Hermione, Harry, and Luna first came to the empty rock wall on the eighth floor.

"I've already told you how to make the room appear, now you try it yourself first!" Maca motioned to Hermione.

"Oh, Harry—" Hermione said immediately, "I've already checked it once, this time you try!"

While Hermione was talking, the troll in the painting across the wall was beating the wizard who tried to teach him ballet.When Harry heard Hermione say so, he hurriedly took his gaze away from the poor wizard.

"Ah, okay..." He repeated the whole process again in his heart, and then he concentrated, "...Well, walked through three times, and at the same time think about what is needed..."

According to this method, he paced back and forth in front of the wall, clenching his fists with his hands and staring straight ahead.

"...We need a big room where we can train our defense skills, because there are still a lot of people, so at least two potions classrooms are as big as..."

Just as he turned around again, a rather simple double-opening door suddenly appeared on the empty wall.

Luna stepped forward, held the two door handles with both hands without hesitation, and opened the door at once.

This is a very spacious and large room... No, it is not so much a room as it is a large underground warehouse with a little dark.

On the surrounding walls, there are some torches that emit blue light, which makes it look a little gloomy.

"What did you think about just now?" Hermione questioned Harry as soon as she walked in.

"Uh, this is probably because, I always feel that our current actions are a bit sneaky, so..."

"Don't care," Maca waved casually, and a cloud of light immediately lit up in front of him and floated lightly to the center of the ceiling.Suddenly, the soft yet bright light illuminates the whole room in a minute.

"Well, everything else is complete except it's a bit dark." Maca looked around, "Especially those magic instruments-sight glasses, mystery devices, black magic detection probes-these are proud Luo's commonly used props."

On the other side, there is also a row of bookshelves, on which are placed some books related to Defense Against the Dark Arts.

"Look at these!" Hermione excitedly let her fingertips pass over the books one after another, enthusiastically, ""Common Curse and Cracking Technique", "Outstanding Black Magic", "Self-Defense Curse" Episode "...... Oh!"

She looked back at Harry again, her eyes gleaming authentically: "Awesome, in this regard, you did a great job! This way, everyone can check the books needed for practice in time! "

Not long after, the students who had signed on Hermione's list gradually gathered here, and when the last student arrived, Maca, who was standing at the door, closed the door lock with a click.

At the same moment, the door door on the outer stone wall immediately merged into the wall, and the wall returned to its original state again.

"Wow!" Most of the little wizards looked around, exclaiming, one of the students said, "Where is this? Oh... There are too many unknown places in this castle. I bet I will definitely do it once. Haven't been here before."

"Okay," Maca clapped her hands as she walked to the center of the room, "This is our training place from now on, and at the same time, everyone will learn how to protect themselves...and our friends and family here!"
