harry potter book of crimes

Harry and Ginny did not stay with Neville's parents and grandmother for too long. Ms. Straw, a therapist in charge of the special ward, was already there to take care of them. In fact, there was nothing to worry about.

After all, the Longbottoms had lived in St. Mungo's for so many years, and they had never heard of anything happening.

And because of this, Neville can leave here with peace of mind and do the "big things" that his grandmother, Mrs. Longbottom, most wants him to do.

Well, as for whether Neville's parents would be willing to let such a good son wander into danger, I'm afraid no one knows.

"If you go by what the old lady said in the past, maybe it is, right?" In the corridor, Harry gave his answer to Ginny's question, "Oh no! I think Neville's parents will also feel the same way.

He is proud of it!”

But as he spoke, he seemed to suddenly have some other feelings, and he couldn't help but pursed his lips and took a slight breath.

"Well, I believe that's the case...and if my parents could see what I look like now, they would definitely also..."

"Harry."

Ginny tightened her grip on Harry's right hand, and looked at him with eyes that seemed to encourage, but also seemed to empathize with him. It was obvious that her family would not be able to experience this feeling, which showed that her care for Harry had already gone beyond

A normal couple relationship.

On the other side, after seeing Ginny's expression, Harry couldn't help but put away the bitterness on his face.

"Don't worry! I've been watching Maka's back for the past few years, and I've actually already figured it out."

He gently stroked the scar on his forehead, led Ginny forward step by step, and whispered as he walked:

"Although my father and mother are gone, I can feel their love anytime and anywhere... They were killed by Voldemort in order to protect me and keep me alive. But it was also

For this reason, I want to live a better life... I want to live happily, live fully, and live so that they can be happy for me."

On the way, Harry turned his head again and looked at the girl he loved beside him.

"So, I haven't dreamed about my parents for a long time."

While they were talking, the two of them had unknowingly walked to the door of the ward where they were. This time, Harry didn't knock again, but just turned the doorknob and walked in.

After all, everyone is awake now, even Maka is here, so what is there to worry about?

"Maka! We are back."

"Oh, is everything okay over there?"

The first person to speak was not Maka, but Hermione, who had been a little absent-minded since just now.

"If necessary, I can go and help Hannah. Will she be unable to take care of her alone?"

"Hermione, I don't think so," Ginny, who came in behind, replied on Harry's behalf. "You know, there's not only Hannah there, but also Ms. Straw. When it comes to caring for people, she really

Very professional."

After hearing this, Harry couldn't help but add:

"Although sometimes I get a little confused... For example, just now she went to make herself a cup of coffee. She originally wanted to put some whipped cream, but she ended up putting White Dew Grass Purifying Hand Cream in it. All the while.

Until we came back from there, she was still blowing bubbles and playing in the corridor!"

"Well……"

Hearing this, Hermione didn't know what to say for a moment, so she could only shake her head speechlessly. But at this moment, Maka, who had been sitting on the edge of Luna's bed just now, suddenly stood up gently.

Originally, this didn't seem to be surprising, and since he didn't move much, most people in the ward didn't pay special attention to it. But what everyone didn't expect was that two people had a particularly strong reaction to it.

The first one was Delphi. Almost the moment after Maka got up, she stood up subconsciously; and then, Hermione, who heard the movement of Delphi's armchair, also turned around.

Head away.

Then, the two of them actually moved forward and the other took half a step at the same time.

This time, Maka's movements have not attracted everyone's attention, but their "co-production" has attracted several eyes respectively.

Beside the hospital bed, Maca looked at Delphi and then at Hermione. Just as he opened his mouth to say something, he was suddenly blocked in his throat.

After a slight pause, his eyes finally stopped going to Delphi, but ended up staying on Hermione.

Obviously, he actually knew Delphi's reaction.

However, he did not intend to continue a meaningless topic, especially when his friends were all present.

As for Hermione's small step back, he really felt a little confused.

"Hermione, what's wrong?"

Because the movements of the two girls were so abrupt, everyone became curious. So when Maka asked, everyone focused their attention on Hermione, wanting to hear what she said.

It's about saying something.

However, facing everyone's... especially Maka's slightly confused gaze, Hermione rarely showed a hesitant expression.

After she hesitated for a moment, and Maka waited patiently for her for a while, she gritted her teeth secretly and said:

"Maka, can you... still let me follow you?"

"Um?"

Maka couldn't help being stunned when she heard this.

It was Hermione herself who had previously said she had decided to stay, and I remember that she was very determined at that time, even lending Harry her small beaded bag that had been casted by the Seamless Stretching Charm.

So why? Why has she suddenly changed her mind now? This is not at all like Hermione's character of always being consistent?

"Why did you suddenly change your mind? Why?"

Maka did not directly say "agree" or "disagree", but still asked her in his gentle tone. After all, in his opinion, Hermione's state was indeed a little strange.

But when Maka saw Hermione's eyes and drifted towards Delphi unconsciously after listening to his question, a possibility emerged in her mind.

"Is it..." he said in a drawl, after a pause, "Someone said something to you?"

To be honest, our Miss Granger is really not the kind of person who can lie, and she is also quite bad at changing topics to hide her inner feelings.

It can be seen that after Maka asked the second question, although she had resisted not to look at Delphi again, her extremely troubled expression had completely betrayed her.

However, before she could say anything this time, everyone heard Delphi in the corner speak first.

"Mr. McClain," Delphi took another step toward Macca at this time, then pursed her lips and said decisively, "It's me, it's me who gave Hermione some suggestions! You clearly know that she

If you’re not good at such conversations, don’t push her anymore. If you have anything to say, you can tell me... Well, it’s okay to just scold me!”

"Scolding you?" Maka couldn't help but sigh when she heard what she said, "Why should I scold you... The two of you, fundamentally speaking, are all for my own good..."

Halfway through, he simply shook his head, then turned his head and looked directly into Hermione's slightly evasive eyes and said:

"Okay, I understand but I'm sorry, you'd better stay here!"

From the beginning, maybe even if something happened to Luna, he might not insist on stopping Hermione from going outside.

In any case, Hermione's strength is actually enough. Her rune formation is almost the same as Maka's rune formation. In terms of power, as long as she doesn't touch Helbo, everything will be easy.

But now that things have happened, it’s obvious that what needs to be done has already been done.

The support team of the International Federation of Wizards and the Aurors of the British Ministry of Magic are combined with each other, coupled with the cooperation of the Muggle army, as well as a series of impressive combat forces such as Harry, Thomas, Charlie, Bill, etc., the whole situation can be said to be

It has been controlled to a certain extent.

What's more, according to the situation of the unknown wizard team that Harry just mentioned, if it is really reinforcements from the American wizarding world as Maka guessed, the situation in London will naturally become clearer.

Therefore, what is Hermione going to do at this time? Should she give it to Haierbo as a gift?

"But, Maka"

"No buts," Maka slowly shook her head towards Hermione, "You must listen to me this time... With the current situation outside, there is no point in you going out anymore. As for following me, that's even more

It's impossible, because I still have very important things to do and I can't bring anyone with me."

Having said this, he bent down and put his hand on Luna's body on the hospital bed, while adding another sentence.

"Anyway, before that, I have to let Luna stay in a place where no one is around... Well, I have to leave now. Except for Harry and Thomas, everyone else can stay in St. Mungo's without any worries!

wait me back."

Maka had just finished saying this, and his hand had just grabbed Luna's quilt and gently lifted it, but then Delphi had already walked to his side and grabbed his arm firmly.

"no, do not want……"

Delphi shook her head and turned to look at Maka, with an unspeakable pleading...and panic in her eyes.

"Dad...Mr. McClain, don't leave."

She almost shouted out "Dad", but she still held it back. But Maka could feel that Delphi's hand holding his arm was trembling slightly.

From the initial deception to the later sincerity, then to Maka's annoyance for not listening to her advice, and the quarrel just now, Delphi's mood has been changing when facing Maka, and now it has finally turned into helpless panic.

She knew that Maka would probably officially try to change the past...but was it possible for him to succeed this time?

"……do not go."
