harry potter book of crimes

"Is it really like this? But..."

Looking at Hermione, who was walking with Luna, but obviously a little distracted, and Ron and Harry, who were sneaking around behind them, Maka, who was secretly observing all this, couldn't help but shake her head slightly.

In fact, he had just made some preparations for the examination work that needed to be done. Originally, he only had to wait for the two injured patients to be sent over before he could start. However, the situation on Hermione's side was also real.

It made him feel a little worried, so he couldn't help but come over to check on the situation.

The result was just as he expected. Hermione's demeanor revealed intentionally or unintentionally was enough for him to guess the trouble in the other person's heart at the moment.

However... there were obviously situations at the scene that he didn't expect.

For example, right now, two girls are walking in front, but two boys are following them closely like thieves, and Luna has obviously known for a long time that there are two "stupid thieves" following behind her.

Regarding this somewhat inexplicable scene, Maka also looked puzzled.

"What's the fuss about?"

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly seemed to notice something, and suddenly turned back and glanced in the direction of the entrance of the town. Suddenly he saw several figures riding brooms, carrying two stretchers.

It flew through the air and headed straight towards the new St. Mungo's Building.

"coming."

Maka murmured in her heart and subconsciously looked at Hermione, Luna and the other four. Then she temporarily gave up her plan to continue following and turned back to fly towards St. Mungo's.

When he appeared at the door of the building, several Aurors who had just landed steadily with a stretcher immediately greeted him and briefly reported to him what they saw when they went to pick up the two injured patients.

The situation with the patrol team that arrived.

"...Not back yet?" Maka couldn't help but frown slightly after hearing this, "Well, in short, leave these two to me! You can go back to the Ministry of Magic and explain it to Lupine in detail, and then

Then you can rest.”

After a slight nod, Maka waved her hand gently, and the two stretchers floated leisurely from the hands of the other people, and followed Maka's footsteps into the hall.

Several Aurors looked at each other for a few times, then mounted their brooms again and kicked off one after another and flew away.

…

"Maka, you're here!"

Of course, Neville was the only one who came out to greet him at the door of the newly installed observation room underground.

"Um."

Maka didn't say much, she just smiled at Neville and nodded. Then, he raised his hand and sent the two stretchers flying to the two adjacent observation rooms.

"Maka, Harry and the others"

"Needless to say, I know...I saw them just now." Seeing that Neville seemed to want to explain to him why the other three were not here, he said casually, "Thank you, the three of them seemed to be here today.

Some are not very reliable."

"No, no, what's the trouble? I just need to bring something here!" Neville said quickly, "I'm still worried that I missed something necessary... Maka, do you need anything else? I

Let’s go to the warehouse and see if there is any.”

"Um?"

Maka controlled the stretchers of the two injured patients, making them slightly deformed, and placed the patients smoothly on the hospital bed. After finishing all this, he put the stretcher on the ground aside, then turned around and faced

Neville shook his head.

"No need, you have been well prepared. You have a hospital bed, a temporary potion preparation table, and you even specially reinforced the walls and doors of the two rooms. You have been very thoughtful. To be honest, you can't do anything today.

Much more reliable than Harry and the others!"

He said jokingly and patted Neville on the shoulder. But when Neville heard Maka mention Harry and others for the second time, he couldn't help but explain for them:

"Harry and the others did a lot of things together just now. Moreover, Harry and Ron went out to look for Hermione because they were worried about her... To be honest, Hermione has been in a bad mood recently. We all feel that she

Something is on my mind..."

Maka nodded while listening, and finally said:

"Well, I understand. I will go talk to her when I'm done here... But before that, can you help me go see them first? I want to ask you one thing, which is how many of them

You should have arrived at the square by now, go over and be with them now, and then...if they want to leave the town and go to London, remember to help me stop them."

"To London?"

Neville looked a little confused about Maka's request, but quickly nodded.

"Well, thank you!" Maka patted his shoulder again and said with a smile, "I knew you were the most reliable...you know? This reminds me of my first year at Hogwarts.

Although you tried to stop them from several night trips back then, you failed, but I think you can do it this time."

"ah!"

After Maka mentioned this, Neville suddenly recalled the scene when Hermione cast a full-body binding spell in the common room, but soon, he hesitated and shook his head.

"But didn't the result of that time prove that I shouldn't actually stop them? Under the arrangement of Professor Dumbledore, they all faced the terrible Voldemort, and they all grew a lot in the process..."

"Do you really think so?" Maka couldn't help but look at him after hearing what he said, "Then if it were you like you now, what would you choose?"

"I..." Neville was hesitant and silent for a moment, and finally shook his head, "I'm not sure, but... I might still choose to stop them! After all, I didn't know at the time that they would run into Voldemort.

, now I know it clearly.”

"Um."

After Maka heard this, she just nodded slightly without comment, and then said:

"Anyway, you have just said what I want to ask you to do. As for what you want to do at that time, it is up to you to judge! Okay, I am going to examine these two patients. You go

Find Harry and the others in the square!"

Seeing Neville shuffling his feet and leaving the underground corridor in confusion, Maka shrugged and took out the staff with a wave of his hand.

Although Neville set up some reinforcement magic such as the Transformation Slate Charm, it was still very lacking in strength.

Regarding these two injured patients who might turn into living corpses, Maka believed that more stringent precautions were needed.

After everything was ready, he randomly selected one of the observation rooms and walked in quickly. Immediately afterwards, the door was shut tightly with a "bang".
