Remember [New] for a second,! It's really been a long time since we got together like this today...?

To be honest, Maca is not too sure about such a thing.

Because he found that since he woke up from the ice coffin, his conception of the time scale in his memory seemed to be getting more and more dull and hazy.

Is this just because of the blankness caused by the unknown sleep of that period of time affecting one's senses?

No, it is not.

Maca, who has been studying spirituality all the time, knows in his heart that even if it is indeed partly because of this, it is clear that in him... or more accurately, in his soul, there must have been some He also has no clue, but it is a tangible change.

Evidence had already appeared—not just in terms of the extraordinary pain that Sarah had bumped into before, but because he had noticed several times recently that his memory seemed to have deteriorated.

For example, in the courtyard of the Prague mansion, he talked to Hermione, but he almost did not remember that the branch that Neville went to was a wizard from one of the three major families as a secondary force;

Another example was the previous conversation with Hermione on the battlefield. He also failed to explain the name of the "European Wizards' Resistance Alliance" founded by the other party, and Hermione was slightly unpleasant to correct him. —He had just heard it from Sarah not too long ago!

In fact, before these two details were noticed by Maca, it seemed that similar situations had happened several times. It's just that this kind of detail is too subtle, and even the astute as Maca realized it after encountering it a lot, and gradually began to pay attention to it consciously.

But fortunately, those important memories before falling asleep seem to be fairly reliable. This makes the influence in this respect not so great that it will cause misunderstandings, and at the same time, it will not be easily discovered by others.

"But it seems that at least this long-lost warmth does exist," Maca looked at everyone with a more or less relaxed look on their faces, and couldn't help showing more smiles, "It's not just me. People think so."

Yes, even for the rest of the people present, a gathering as big as today has not been seen in a long time. Looking at the faces of familiar relatives or friends, everyone can feel a kind of joy and relief from the heart.

Especially when Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout also unexpectedly appeared at the door, even with Hermione's current maturity, she couldn't help but scream and run like a little girl who just entered school. past. When the old Hufflepuff Dean, who was as kind as the grandmother of all the students, hugged her with a distressed face, she couldn't help shedding tears.

Seeing this scene, Maca was very fortunate, fortunate that she finally set the meeting place at Camp Granger, and hurriedly ended the mission of Hermione and others in the Czech Republic, and gave all her friends to Brought back here on time.

That's right, it's been a whole night since I took a rest in the courtyard of the Prague Mansion. And where they were, it was the first battlefield support point, Camp Granger, that had been re-managed by Bill.

At this moment, when almost everyone's attention was on the two professors who had just discovered this place, Maca was directed at the two professors who came with them, but only followed in a low-key manner. The slender figure who walked in from the outside nodded and sent a big smile.

It's Charlotte, who had been an assistant at Hogwarts earlier, and she's here as well!

"We haven't seen each other for a while."

The other party obviously found Maca's location from the crowd as soon as she came in, but after seeing the latter's smile, she paused for a while and then stepped forward again.

When they were close, and the two were facing each other, Charlotte nodded.

"Well, it's been a long time indeed." She hesitated slightly, "Are you... okay?"

"Fortunately," Maca nodded again, "or at least, there must be more good things than bad things."

"That's good."

Charlotte said this, and then she couldn't help but start looking at Maca up and down, as if she wanted to find some clues from him that could prove that he was indeed "okay".

After all, even she knew that this time Maca had been revived from an ice coffin after being lost for a while. And before that, there had even been public news that Maca was dead and that his funeral was going to be held here.

"I thought...I thought...I thought I'd never be able to talk to you face to face like this..."

When she said these words, Charlotte's throat was faintly choked. Because although the time was short, when she heard the news, she really thought that Maca was dead.

"you-"

"Oh! It would be bad if it was really like that!" Hearing what she said, Maka suddenly spread her hands and smiled slightly exaggeratedly, "I want to see Senior Sister a few more times! You know, A beauty like a certain senior is a loss at the level of life!"

Having said this, Maca turned her head and looked at Willie behind her and said:

"Am I right?"

In fact, when she heard Maca say "senpai", a special title that only he could call, Charlotte couldn't help but have various memories of the past in her heart. And the words after that reminded her of the first conversation the two had had at Maca's branch banquet.

Maybe Maca has forgotten, but she still clearly remembers that when Maca, who was teased by her, also teased her in turn, she used this trick.

At this moment, seeing Maka turn her head to ask Willie, she naturally turned her back towards her, she finally couldn't help raising her hand and was—

"Snapped!"

Feeling the pain in her back, Charlotte's slap seemed to be extremely hard. Even if she was prepared, Maca couldn't help grinning.

Seeing Wei Li in front of him showing a rare smile, as if he was interested in this scene, he could only helplessly smile, and then turned around again and said:

"My senior, can't it be lighter, it hurts!"

"How can I keep your memory long if I don't give you a heavy one?" Charlotte seemed to have finally shaken off the haze from before. She glared at Maca and pointed her finger at his nose. , "Don't you know that so many people care about you? Be careful, what do you let those who worry about you do? You said to yourself, is it wrong for me to slap me?"

"That's right! Of course it's right! Senior Sister, you are always right, and it's me who is wrong." Maca smiled bitterly, "I'm sorry, I was wrong... I will be more careful in the future."
