Chapter 1204 Suspicious retreat
"Aberforth, that's enough, come in quickly!"
Hearing Kingsley's shout from the door of the Leaky Cauldron, Aberforth did not hesitate and retreated towards them.
Just now, the madman who was knocked down by his explosive spell withstood another stone attack. Although the opponent still rolled forcibly to avoid it while falling to the ground, an arm was still broken. Now,
That guy finally knew he had to retreat.
However, although one mad wizard retreated, more ordinary dark wizards were attracted by the sound of fighting. No matter how good Aberforth was in fighting, he knew that he could not defeat such a fight with his own strength.
many people's.
After retreating into the bar door and watching the magic barrier rise again after being lifted for a short period of time, he twisted his shoulders and casually said to Kingsley and the others:
"It seems that even if that bastard is really crazy, he can only be said to be 'limitedly crazy'... A real lunatic will not choose to retreat just because he has a broken arm."
But next to Aberforth, Kingsley shook his head.
"No," he said, "When I led people to fight with them outside, I also encountered a madman similar to the one just now... Do you know? Even if a whole leg was blown off by our combined efforts, that guy would still be
They were all frantically clawing at the ground with their hands and crawling towards us!"
Speaking of this, Kingsley couldn't help but said cautiously:
"So let me see, there may be other reasons why the madman outside suddenly retreated... Look, there are many dark wizards outside, but none of them has the same outstanding fighting ability as him.
.So I think someone may be summoning the leader’s past in a way that we can’t detect!”
Before he finished speaking, Sirius raised his eyebrows.
"You mean...Helpo?"
"Humph," Aberforth frowned and snorted, "Who else could it be besides that old immortal?"
Even though he rarely leaves the Hog's Head Bar on weekdays, he obviously has a lot of information. If he doesn't know everything, at least it's not much different than Kingsley and Sirius.
And this is all because he not only has Lu Ping's daily delivery of encrypted information, but he has also accumulated many intelligence sources for reference over the years.
You know, in the early years of the Order of the Phoenix, Aberforth would often help his brother Albus collect various overt or covert gossips.
Not long after, the three people who finally met in this bar casually chatted a few words about Haierbo, and then they put aside these clueless speculations for the time being.
And heard Sirius suddenly turn around and say:
"Aberforth, why are you here? Did you finally figure it out today and decide to help?"
Aberforth has always been unwilling to participate in actual struggles. Unless a dark wizard comes to cause trouble in his Hog's Head pub, he has always been quite low-key.
Ultimately, this was because he had never really thought about joining the Order of the Phoenix and working hard to contribute to a common goal.
What drove him to join the Order of the Phoenix was his sister Ariana's last wish.
To be honest, although Aberforth has a good heart, he is just a much more selfish man than his brother Albus from the beginning to the end. He does not have any great ambitions and dedication.
"It's just that Lu Ping insists that I come over to help you," he waved his hand casually and said, "I have already promised that after this time, no matter what happens again, I will not come to interfere. I don't even know.
I still have a few more years to live, but rather than die outside, I would rather die in my shabby bar!"
"Oh," Sirius looked at his extremely strong body and couldn't help but grinned, "Why do I think that if we die, we will definitely die first?"
"Okay," Kingsley said hurriedly as he listened to the two people taking the topic further and further, "Anyway, I think that guy's retreat is very suspicious. It's best to send a few people to chase him secretly to see what's going on...
What do you think?"
…
Although the situation at the defensive line in Diagon Alley is not good, fortunately, it cannot be said to be a microcosm of the entire urban area of London. After all, the number of dark wizards there is increasing, just because they are all attracted by the sound of a series of battles.
passed.
In fact, the fighting everywhere in London at the moment is constantly decreasing due to the gathering effect at the Leaky Cauldron.
So it can even be said that the current chaos in London is showing signs of calming down and getting better.
But, of course, the premise is that there won't be any big changes in the coming time.
At this moment, Maca is in the hall downstairs of St. Mungo's, waiting for information on the situation that has been comprehensively screened by the Black Mansion.
Whenever he found someone wandering outside, he had to check to see if it was one of his own, and then decide whether to lift the seal of St. Mungo's and let the person in.
But it is worth mentioning that although it is late at night, he is not lonely.
"...So, I decided to go back to the wizarding world in the United States. The Muggle film and television industry there is relatively developed. I will definitely learn a lot from the Americans this time! Oh, by the way, Mike
Ryan... Speaking of American movies, do you know? In the second half of next year, China and the United States will co-produce a movie. I heard it is called "Summer Love"..."
Listening to Lockhart chattering in her ears, although Maka didn't say anything, she felt a little annoyed.
But he didn't expect that this guy really likes Muggle filming and performance activities now. Sometimes he would rather go to the Muggle theater to eat fast food or hang out there for a few days.
To be honest, Maka is quite envious of a life like this where she can do what she likes.
"Okay, okay, if you really like acting with Muggles, then don't waste your time chatting with me. If you have this time, you might as well find some scripts to memorize your lines. This is not as good as doing it with me.
How much more meaningful is it to show off in front of me?”
After driving Lockhart aside, he gained some peace and sat down on the bench at the entrance of the hall to continue pondering those questions.
But at this moment, two figures suddenly walked down from upstairs, bypassed the refugees sleeping on the floor in the hall, and came to Maka's side.
"Maka, why don't you go up and take a rest? If you have anything to tell us, we can keep an eye on it for you."
"Oh, is it you?"
Maca raised her head slightly, looked at Neville and Hannah in front of her and smiled.
"It's okay, it's so late, you should go to bed quickly!" He said, "I'm still waiting for someone here, I can only do this myself."
As he spoke, he pointed to the wall beside him. Since the real situation outside could not be seen from the windows of St. Mungo's, there was really no way to leave this matter to others.
"Ah...really?" Neville nodded suddenly, "Okay...but we came down because we really couldn't sleep. You know, many people probably won't be able to get a good night's sleep tonight."
While talking, both Neville and Hannah subconsciously glanced into the hall. It could be seen that many people in the waiting hall, where the lights had been turned off, were turning over from time to time. It was indeed difficult for most of them to fall asleep.
"Then just sit down for a while!" Maka shrugged, "But I have to say, you'd better try to rest as much as possible for a while... Well, including myself. Until now, I have said that I won't talk about tonight or
Tomorrow, starting from today anyway, I’m afraid there will be no peace for the rest of this period.”
"Is it really...that serious?"
Hannah asked in a low voice next to Neville, looking a little uneasy. Seeing this, Neville quickly put his arm around her shoulders and comforted her gently.
When Maka heard her asking this question, she could only squeeze out a smile again, and then turned around and said:
"Don't worry, I will find a way."
"If there is a need, we can all help!" Neville said, "My grandma has always wanted me to live fearlessly like my parents since I was a child... I might not have been able to do this in the past.
But now I think I'm ready."
"I will also help," Hannah immediately followed. "I have been learning how to be a therapist this school year. I believe I can also provide some strength to everyone."
"Oh, that's great," Maka nodded slightly, but sighed slightly in her heart, and then heard him say immediately, "But, you really don't think about taking your family to the Burrow or anything else.
Where can I take shelter?"
In fact, after arriving at St. Mungo's, Maka had also been to Neville's ward. However, she never thought that Neville's desire to stay was even more determined than Hermione and the others.
Perhaps this is indeed what Neville said, because the inheritance of his family and his family's will gradually extended to himself.
But in fact, after talking to Neville and Hannah today, Neville went to see Maka alone afterwards.
Obviously, although he wanted to stay, he didn't want Hannah to stay in this dangerous place with him.
He and his father have always been two different people. Back then, his parents would both devote themselves to dangerous rebellion missions in order to oppose Voldemort, but he seemed unwilling to learn what his parents did.
It had to be said that, with Hermione and almost everyone else wanting to stay, Maka really didn't know whether to agree to Neville's request and just send Hannah away from London.
After all, no matter what, he was not qualified to make decisions for Hannah.
Seeing Neville and Hannah sitting down across from each other and leaning close to each other, he couldn't help but secretly lament that the emotions between people are sometimes really complicated and embarrassing.
At this moment, he saw Macca tilt his head slightly, as if he suddenly felt something.
