harry potter book of crimes

"I'm not a useless person."

As Percy walked silently in the mist, this sentence kept flashing in his mind. Although his steps seemed very heavy, after all, he had been lying in bed for so long before, but he still persisted.

There is no doubt that Percy Weasley is an extremely strong person.

Otherwise, he would not have been so stubborn in his pursuit of position and power in the Ministry of Magic, and would have even cut off contact with his family.

Even though he has experienced so much now, and has undergone great changes in his mentality and personality, some of the most basic things will never change.

On the other hand, everyone has to admit that Percy is a talented and capable person. When he was at Hogwarts, he was a study fanatic like Hermione, and even more so during the O.W.LS exam.

Like his brother Bill, he obtained certificates of excellence in twelve courses.

Just now, perhaps few people could guess how he came to London from his humble home in Devon.

In fact, since Diagon Alley had already been blocked by Sirius and his men, all Floo Network lines connecting to Diagon Alley were naturally closed accordingly.

Unable to use Floo powder to reach London directly, and unable to cast spells on his own for the time being, Percy ultimately chose the Muggle way of traveling.

And it wasn't until Hermione and others had walked around Dunlon and even encountered some crises that he just stepped into the endless fog from the suburbs of Dunlon.

However, even though Percy arrived late, his intelligence was no less than that of Hermione, and he had the advantage of knowing Fred and George better than Hermione and others, so he soon became like Maka.

, the search targets were first placed on the Leaky Cauldron and St. Mungo's Hospital, two locations that were often used as shelters during wartime.

Percy believed that no matter how unreliable Fred and George were, they would still be cautious because they considered their wives' safety.

And coincidentally, the location where he entered downtown London was closer to St. Mungo's.

Therefore, instead of going to the Leaky Cauldron, which was more convenient for Maka, the place he went to check first was naturally St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies.

But obviously, because there are many Haierbo people in London shrouded in fog, Percy's journey is really difficult.

In order to prevent those suspicious guys from causing trouble for him, Percy quickly discovered through observation that the other party rarely paid attention to ordinary Muggles. For this reason, he simply changed into Muggle clothes, extremely low-key, and

All the enemies encountered on the way were avoided without any danger.

It must be said that his excellent results in "Muggle Studies" are not fake. He is pretending to be a Muggle along the way. In addition, he is indeed unable to cast spells at the moment, and he can't even cast spells.

He can be considered a real Muggle.

When Percy finally passed through the glass case and entered the waiting hall of St. Mungo's, relying on a pair of slightly weak legs, he couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hello! Sir, please come here for a checkup first. You should know that there are many terrible dark wizards roaming in the city today. We must ensure that everyone who comes here to take refuge is not in danger.

"

"Oh, of course..."

Percy nodded weakly, then stopped beside the entrance very cooperatively, and handed over his currently useless wand.

"Please stand still."

The security officer took the thin golden wand and swept it in front and behind him. After confirming the wand's information, he nodded at Percy.

"Please come in! Mr. Percy Weasley, I see that you are not in good condition. You should be here for treatment, right?" The security officer handed the wand back and said casually, "There are a lot of people waiting for treatment today, so you go first.

Get a number plate, and then you may have to wait a little longer."

"Oh, no!" Percy shook his head immediately, "I'm here to ask someone, have Fred Weasley and George Weasley been here? Well... they should have brought their wives, yes

four people."

"Weasley..."

The security officer checked the access list and said quickly:

"Ah, yes! Mr. Fred Weasley and George Weasley, and Mrs. Ashley Weasley and Mary Weasley, they are all here! To be specific, I miss you

You can go to the consultation desk over there and ask."

"Thank you, thank you."

Percy immediately thanked him, then turned around and walked quickly towards the information desk. Perhaps because he found that he found the person so smoothly, his steps were a little too fast, and he staggered and almost fell.

"Oh, be careful! Although it's actually not a big deal if you fall, this is the hospital after all!"

Just when Percy was about to sit down on the ground, a hand suddenly stretched out from the side and supported him.

Percy regained his feet with the help of the other party, and then he hurriedly wanted to thank the other party. But then he turned his head and looked over, only to find that the person holding him was not the security wizard just now, but another acquaintance.

"Professor Lockhart?"

"Oh! Don't call me that title anymore. You have to know that you have graduated from Hogwarts; and I am no longer the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts!"

Yes, Percy was surprised, because he saw that the man holding his arm was actually the friend of thousands of women, Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart.

Until now, even Lockhart has gone through many changes, but his seemingly "infinitely charming" smile is still as dazzling and unparalleled as before.

Lockhart happily hooked Percy's arm and continued cheerfully:

"Mr. Weasley, if you are willing, I really hope that you can call me the 'Magical Community Charity Ambassador'... Oh, although this will not be the greatest honor in my life, it is also the Minister of Magic.

Mr. Lin Jie personally appointed me in my capacity.”

"Yes, even though I never talk about it, doing charity work every day during this period has indeed made me feel better and better..."

Lockhart still talks so much that it's a bit of a headache. It seems that no matter what he has experienced, his habit of talking to himself has not changed much.

However, Percy used to be a very face-conscious person, so it's not that he couldn't understand this guy's desire to attract attention.

"Well... Mr. Lockhart, your career is indeed very admirable. The wizarding world needs elite wizards like you who can dedicate themselves to others for free to set an example of life and morality for everyone!"

Percy finally waited for the other party's opportunity to change his tone and hurriedly said:

"By the way, I think I have to go...I have to go find my two younger brothers. They couldn't come home all day yesterday. I'm really worried."

"Oh, really?" Lockhart seemed a little worried for him, "That does sound a bit bad... I can if you need it."

"No, no, I won't bother you anymore!" Percy said quickly, "I think they should be fine, but... you know, there was a heavy fog outside and they should have just come here to take refuge!"

"Then be careful yourself and don't fall again!" Lockhart looked at Percy's back as he hurried away, shrugged and said to himself, "Well, what a handsome young man!"

After saying this, he picked up the trolley he had just thrown aside, pushed a lot of hot towels, teapots, cups and other items with a smile on his face, and walked towards the waiting bench.

"Who needs hot towels and hot water? And if you're bored of waiting, I've got The Daily Prophet and The Quibbler...oh, of course! And my latest book, Muggles

"The Wizard on the Stage" is available for free reading!"

…

I don't know if Lockhart's new book is a bit boring, but the information desk in the lobby is very busy.

The patients who were waiting for treatment were a little annoyed. They came over one after another to ask a few questions just to relieve their boredom. As a result, there were quite a few people queuing up here.

After Percy waited for a while, it was his turn to ask where Fred and George were, and then he hurried up the stairs on the side of the hall.

Climbing the stairs made him very tired, and he finally reached the cursed injury ward on the fifth floor where Ashley was staying, out of breath.

However, as soon as he entered the ward, six pairs of eyes stared at him blankly, almost full of disbelief.

"Percy, why are you here?"

The first person to speak was his father, Arthur. Compared to his wife Molly, who was startled by Percy's arrival, he was relatively calm.

"Father..." Percy couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, "I'm the only one left in the family, and I really can't settle down... The feeling that I alone can't do anything is really unbearable.

Got it!"

After Arthur heard this, he turned and glared at his wife, seemingly complaining about his wife's decision to run out to look for Fred and George.

It has to be said that he usually never expresses any dissatisfaction with his wife, but this time he may be really angry.

But even so, Arthur didn't say anything in the end, he just walked up to Percy and hugged this child who was suffering a lot.

Thinking about it, the relationship between father and son was almost non-communicative back then. Now that Percy has repented, Arthur has also felt an inexplicable debt.

Until this moment, Mrs. Weasley could not help but hugged Percy with her eyes red, and whispered:

"Oh...my child, I'm sorry! I should have considered your mood more at that time and shouldn't have just left you at home alone..."

Percy was hugged by his mother, and suddenly his clever mind seemed to be rusty, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a moment, he glared and said:

"not good!"
