harry potter book of crimes

When Alice saw the flying broomstick flying behind her, she was stunned for a moment. But soon she understood that it was probably sent by Maka, so she reached out to grab it and turned over to ride on it.

To be honest, she did not attend a magic school due to personal reasons. As a slightly autistic girl, although she had learned about flying broomsticks through books, she had hardly practiced flying skills.

Right now, I saw her lying on the broom and shaking, and her flight path was crooked, which looked quite difficult.

Of course, for a beginner who can be said to be flying for the first time, being able to keep flying roughly in the same direction like her is already a very talented person. If placed in Hogwarts

During his flying lessons, this was another good prospect who might be able to join the Quidditch House team.

After flying for a while, the girl finally got used to the feeling of flying on a broom, and it was only at this moment that she finally had time to glance behind her.

The battle between Maka and the demon is still going on, and it seems that the two sides are fighting in full swing. As for which side is dominant at the moment, it is difficult to judge based on her level.

But fortunately, no matter whether it is Maka or the devil who has the upper hand now, what she has to do remains the same. She must leave London as soon as possible!

Obviously, she had realized that her previous request might have been a mistake. The two companions took the initiative to cut off her marriage one by one. What they wanted was not for her to turn back and run to die. She had to live. Otherwise,

Aren't the sacrifices they made meaningless?

Speed ​​up! Speed ​​up!

Following the instructions for riding a broomstick from her memory, the girl gradually stabilized her figure and began to continuously increase her flying speed.

The wind blew in her face, whistling continuously in her ears, and the buildings on both sides kept retreating as she moved forward.

Unknowingly, she found that she was getting closer and closer to the outskirts of the city.

But who would have known that just as she was speeding past a deserted street, a lone figure instantly caught her attention.

"……That is?"

Suddenly, the girl pressed down the broom handle and turned around to descend.

"oh!"

Taking off and landing are always difficult aspects of flying, especially the latter. If you are too anxious and get off the broom before stopping, novices will often fall into a big fall.

But Alice didn't pay attention. After her feet were unstable and she fell, she hurriedly got up again. Although her knees seemed to have been scratched and the pain was burning, she still limped slightly and ran towards the back of the front.

go.

"Burt!"

This is the name of one of her companions, the middle-aged gentleman... To be honest, Alice rarely calls this name because she is usually the one who answers.

She wasn't even sure if this was the first time she called someone by this name.

It's just that... although the back looks dripping with blood, and there is a hole in the center of the vest that people dare not look directly at. But even though the outfit is messy, it can be seen that the suit and leather shoes are very elegant. It is indeed the one she knows.

My companion is a middle-aged uncle who often calls himself a gentleman.

"Burt?"

Alice saw that the other party had stopped advancing slowly, but did not turn around immediately. She was a little hesitant, not sure whether she should take the initiative to walk up.

In fact, she still remembers Maka's previous words very clearly. She remembers that Maka once said that all her companions are indeed dead. And to make the dead people come back to life... it's not impossible, it's just that they are alive or not.

It's hard to say who the original person was.

But now, Alice is looking at the bloody hole on the other person's back, looking at the dark red blood still seeping out of the hole... Even though she doesn't want the uncle who is actually very gentle at heart to die,

At the moment, it's hard for me to believe that the other person is still alive.

"Burt?"

When the girl hesitated and whispered the other person's name again, she finally saw the figure move its feet and its upper body swaying around.

And then she saw that the other party's face, which was originally quite handsome, now looked completely sloppy.

The eyelids were drooped, the mouth was half open weakly, and drool hung diagonally from the corners of the mouth. The eyes were clearly not looking directly here, but she only felt that the other person was watching her intently, which made her whole body

He also tensed up involuntarily.

At the same time, an inexplicable sense of disharmony made her feel very uncomfortable.

However, just by looking at his appearance, he was indeed her companion, the middle-aged gentleman uncle who took the initiative to stay behind to face the devil. Just looking at that familiar figure and appearance, the girl became at a loss.

What should she do? Approach him and test him? Or take a few steps back and stay away from him?

For a moment, Alice, who was in a dilemma, was stunned on the spot.

However, she didn't move, but the other party moved! The figure covered in blood suddenly leaned forward as if he was about to fall, and then suddenly flew up with his feet moving.

The next second, Alice was very shocked to see "him" suddenly flying towards her, and the speed was not slow at all!

This was obviously not Bert...or at least, it was certainly not the Bert she knew.

Immediately, the girl stepped onto the broomstick in her hand again, turned around and flew into the air. Seeing this, the "Burt" behind her also decisively pursued her, and her speed continued to increase.

"Why...who is that? Is Bert really dead? Then why did he become like this?"

"...Is this also caused by Haierbo?"

She was thinking about it as she flew, occasionally turning her head to take a look, and then trying to speed up her flight after realizing that the opponent was still approaching.

As the broom under her body became faster and faster, she felt that she was almost losing control of the broom. It took a lot of effort to control the broom handle that started to tremble non-stop.

At this point, a wizard with enough experience would actually understand that the speed of this broom is approaching its limit.

Fortunately, when Alice looked back again, she finally found that the other party seemed to be unable to continue to speed up the pursuit and she was gradually distancing herself from the other party.

Not long after, the girl felt that the things around her suddenly became clear, and she realized that she had finally left the gray fog of London and arrived in the suburbs.

"Out!"

Before Alice could feel any more happy, she quickly turned her head and looked behind her, only to see that the fog was also rapidly approaching the edge of the fog, and was about to rush out.
