harry potter book of crimes

"It's nothing special. Don't be suspicious. It's just that the patrol team rescued two survivors in the suburbs of London."

Facing Hermione's doubts and worries, Maka shook her head naturally and said:

"Of course, although those two are now out of danger, their condition is still a little bad...so it is definitely wrong to say that they are completely fine, but it is obviously not worth making too much fuss about, right?"

There are enough injured people, and Hermione and the others have been helping to take care of them these days. Therefore...it is not that they cannot understand what Maka is saying now.

After all, everyone has gradually become accustomed to various injuries, whether minor or serious.

"Well, in short," Lu Ping on the side saw this and immediately took over the conversation, "I will send someone to pick up the two injured patients. If you are free, why not go to the new hospital to arrange for the two trauma patients first?

The injuries are serious, one wizard and one Muggle, both women, need two beds."

As Lu Ping was speaking, he saw Maka glance at him, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, and then turned around and said:

"No, don't put those two in the regular ward. Send them directly to the observation room! You know, they were seriously injured in the mist. If it is so serious that they cannot be saved... no one knows whether they will

'Zombie transformation'."

Maka's words immediately made everyone present, including Lu Ping, feel shocked.

Yes! There is still the possibility of "living zombies". It would be dangerous if they mutated in a general ward where they were mixed with other injured patients.

"Okay," Hermione said immediately after hearing this, "We will notify the dean right away...According to what Maka said, these two injured patients should become a pair of very important observation subjects."

"Um."

Maka nodded and watched Hermione and the other four hurriedly leave from the main entrance. After confirming that they were all gone, he turned around and looked at Lupine again.

"You shouldn't have said that last sentence."

"What? Which sentence?" Lu Ping was stunned, "The thing about 'living corpse'?"

"That's what I said," Maka shook her head, "I was referring to what you said about 'sending people to pick up the injured'."

"ah!"

After Maka's reminder, Lupine finally realized the problem. If according to previous practice, the task of transporting survivors back has always been the patrol team... To be precise, it was led by Sirius.

.

This is true for Charlotte's father and the two children of the Werther family.

But now, in fact, Hermione's guess just now was correct. Something happened to the patrol team. And because people still need to stay there, there is a shortage of manpower and no more people can be sent to transport the injured, so Lupine subconsciously said

The decision was made to "send someone to pick him up".

in short……

"An hour...Sirius' team must have encountered some accident inside."

That's right, since he learned from the survivors that there were still living people waiting for rescue, Sirius finally planned to step into the fog-shrouded urban London to rescue people.

And with his somewhat aggressive temperament, he asked the other two teams to stay outside and wait while he personally went into danger. This was not a surprise.

"But..." Lupine pondered, "With just one sentence, little Harry and the others shouldn't have thought of it to this extent, right? If you hadn't mentioned it just now, I wouldn't have noticed it myself."

"Well, Harry and the others won't, but Hermione may not," Maka said with a slight wry smile, "It's not like you don't know that she has a very delicate mind and has always been very sensitive to such details. And...

She also likes to get to the bottom of things."

When Lupine heard what he said, he couldn't help but nodded, agreeing with Maka's "high" evaluation of Hermione.

After the two of them stood by the sand table in silence for a while, Lu Ping changed the topic again:

"By the way, then over there in London... do you need to go there again? Although as long as I don't meet Haierbo directly, I don't think Sirius will lose his life there. But he hasn't come out for such a long time.

, the problem should not be small.”

"I will definitely go," Maka said quickly, "but like you, I also believe that with Sirius's ability, he can at least save his own life... In addition, I actually want to, before I go,

Let’s study the actual status of the two survivors first.”

When Lu Ping heard this, he immediately nodded slightly and said clearly:

"Are you worried that Haierbo will use those living corpses to launch a large-scale attack? To be honest, I think this possibility is not small, and when I think of the large number of corpses left in London before our emergency evacuation,"

In addition, Maka had speculated before that Haierbo was most likely summoning the living corpses wandering around, and the possibility became even greater.

"So, send someone to pick up the two injured patients as soon as possible! I'm going to make some preparations for the inspection, and try not to waste too much time... In addition, let the guards at the entrance of the town pay attention, don't let He

Min and the others slipped out."

After this conversation, the two quickly separated. After Maka went out, he called in the Auror who had left the secret message at the door, so that Lupine could immediately pick it up.

Tasks for the injured are assigned.

Obviously, this is not a very difficult task. Even if the two survivors are unable to reveal themselves due to their serious injuries, they will not encounter any danger along the way.

Except for the foggy urban area of ​​London, other places are currently safe.

…

Meanwhile, the front lobby of the new St. Mungo's Hospital.

"The observation room is underground. You go and tidy it up first. I'll go upstairs and notify Mr. Dean. I'll be down to help you in a moment!"

After Hermione said this, she separated from Harry and others, bypassed the elevator that was not yet open, and ran up the stairs.

When the town was first designed, this place was scheduled to be a magic hospital. Whether it became a branch of St. Mungo's or a new hospital was established, there would be no problem.

However, the original Neville designers probably did not expect that St. Mungo's, which had been established in London for a long time and had been operating well, would suddenly move to Spiral Town.

"Ron, you need to tidy up two rooms, right?"

The three of them were walking quickly on the stairs leading to the underground. When Neville asked, Ron immediately nodded.

"Of course," he said, "You also heard what Maka said about zombie transformation. What if two people live together and one of them changes?"

"Oh," Harry, who was walking in front, couldn't help shaking his head and frowning, "You said, those two survivors have left the scope of the fog, can they really mutate into living corpses? This...

…Then if we die…”

"Hey! Harry, don't say such unlucky things!"
