When Hermione slowly opened her eyes, the darkness that had previously suppressed her had disappeared, replaced by a white roof that seemed to be familiar.

I can feel that the pain on my body has also disappeared.Right now, he seemed to be lying on a soft and warm bed, and the whole person was lazy, unable to exert strength.

However, the memory before she passed out in a coma quickly spewed out from the depths of her heart and filled her heart at once.

"Yes... Professor Dumbledore?"

To be honest, because of the short period of time before the syncope, her consciousness was a little blurred.Looking back at this moment, almost all the cool and bleak feelings in her head, but Dumbledore's figure alone was deeply imprinted in her mind.

When thinking of this, she couldn't help pulling her hand out of the quilt and stroking her chest with a little effort.However, there is nothing there.

"Or is it just a dream?"

Dumbledore was dead. She saw the other's body with her own eyes and attended the other's funeral in person.Even at the last moment, she clearly saw Maca seal Dumbledore's body in ice, and it still remains on the lakeside of Hogwarts.

And how could a person who has already passed away talk to her like that and save her?

Apart from "It was a dream", Hermione couldn't think of any other explanation, because even in the magical world, the principle of "the dead is dead" was common.

"...Thirsty...water."

However, just when He was so sensitive that her throat was dry and she turned her head to look at the bedside table next to her, a touch of scarlet came into her vision silently.

Yes, it was the silver necklace. It was the pendant on the necklace with a faint gemstone, or it was later inlaid by Maca!

I still remember that it was smashed from the dung stone that Dumbledore had given her, a sorcerer's stone that had been damaged.

In this way, Dumbledore’s phrase "the last gift I left to you" in her memory was obviously referring to this.

Yes, it will definitely not be a dream.When she fell into the most dangerous desperation to date, it was indeed Dumbledore who saved her!

Recalling this slowly, Hermione couldn't help turning over with a bit of difficulty, reaching out to reach the necklace that had been placed on the bedside table by someone unknown.

Yes, there are even a lot of dried blood on the surface of that dark red gem.With just a light touch, they turned into powder and slipped down from the top, falling onto the white pillow towel.

At this moment, not far from the bed, there was a sudden "click" of the doorknob being turned.

"Hermione!"

Accompanied by a rush of footsteps, the familiar voice soon sounded again beside him.

"Hermione, are you awake? Are you feeling okay?"

"Ron..."

With the help of the other party, Hermione turned on her back again, and then saw the familiar face whose surprise had not faded away.

"You are here, that is to say... this is the observation room underneath New Saint Mungo?"

"Oh, it's like this!" Ron said while hurriedly helping her twist the towel, "Maca brought you back. You don't know, I saw him running in a hurry, and him With you in your arms and covered in blood, I almost fainted! Fortunately, Maca said that fortunately, he was rescued in time..."

Ron was babbling, and it could be seen that he was really happy to see that Hermione in front of him was able to wake up safely.

"And Maca also said, I don’t know why, you don’t seem to be cursed by that fog! So don’t worry! Maca checked for you. You won’t be like the two next door. No one can move anymore."

"curse……"

Hearing Ron's words about this, Hermione couldn't help but move.

"Maca, really'don't know why'?"

Suddenly, Hermione remembered the scene where the necklace was placed on the bedside table just now.

Yes, Maca probably knows, at least he has definitely guessed some of the reasons.Hermione squeezed the jewel in her hand slightly, the hard, smooth and angular touch, which was silently proof of this.

Perhaps, Maca was able to find her in the mist in time, and it was precisely because Maca had already noticed Dumbledore's appearance at that time.

"Ron," after a short pause, Hermione couldn't help but ask softly, [UU00ks] "How long have I been in a coma? Also, how about Maca?"

"how long?"

Ron handed the wrung towel to Hermione who insisted on wiping her face, and then he thought about it:

"It won't take long! At most, it took half an hour before Maca left. You are recovering well and will wake up soon."

As he was talking, he scratched his head casually before continuing:

"As for Maca... he did mention that he was going to the open space in front of the church ruins outside, as if Harry was waiting there too! Well, maybe Harry didn't know you were injured yet, or he would definitely Will be back."

"Don't let him know first," Hermione shook her head. "Since I'm all okay, it doesn't matter anymore...Half an hour passed? This also means that the army of corpses Is it coming soon? Compared to the trivial matter of mine, that is the big thing that needs to be dealt with with all my strength!"

"It's not a trivial thing!" Ron immediately retorted when he heard it, "This is not the Maca I was talking about, but he stayed here until it was confirmed that your injury had fully recovered!"

"Yes, is it?"

Seeing Ron say this, Hermione couldn't help but startled slightly, and then she closed her eyes slowly with her mouth pursed.

"Then let me rest for a while! Maybe in a moment, no one here has to rest."

"Uh, good!" Ron nodded when he saw it, "Then I'll go out and get you something to eat, and fill up your stomach after you rest for a while."

After Ron waved his wand and took the basin out, Hermione opened her eyes again and stared at the white ceiling silently.

...

One thing Hermione didn't ask, but the facts were already obvious.

The fog that had drifted all the way from London finally stopped in Canterbury, and the group of living corpses reached their destination first.

Right now, Maca and Harry were sitting on a pile of waste stones beside the clearing in front of the church ruins.

"Harry, get ready... those guys, they're almost here!"

"Well, Maca, I know."

This blocking battle against the army of living corpses is finally coming to an end.
