harry potter book of crimes

"Hermione, what do you think Maka said to Neville?"

"have no idea."

At this moment, Hermione, Harry and Ron were heading to St. Mungo's as planned. Neville, who had subconsciously wanted to stop the three of them, chose to give up because of his own gaffe, which was a bit delayed.

Di and Luna, who also hadn't had breakfast, went back first.

Now, after the two parties separated, Ron suddenly thought about Neville's obvious thoughts with a suspicious look on his face.

But now, seeing that Hermione seemed to have no clue about what she had revealed to Neville, he suddenly became even more confused.

To be honest, even he had some thoughts after hearing what Neville just said. In this case, why does Hermione, who is obviously smarter than him, seem more confused than him?

"Hermione," after a slight hesitation, Ron looked at Harry next to him before speaking again, "I suddenly felt... would that be the same as what we heard before in the hall of the new Ministry of Magic?

Is it related to the incident we arrived? Well, it’s about the patrol team... I remember, wasn’t Sirius leading the team over there?"

"Uh-huh"

Seeing that Ron finally thought the same thing as her in repeated thinking, Hermione couldn't help but be silent for a moment, then shook her head and said:

"To be honest, I had already thought of this when I was at the Ministry of Magic, but..."

As she was speaking with a slight hesitation, Hermione couldn't help but look at Harry, who was walking on the far right. When she noticed that Harry's expression had changed slightly due to Ron's words, she suddenly stopped again.

But just the words she said were enough for Ron to realize what she wanted to say.

"Wait!" Hearing this, Ron paused and suddenly widened his eyes and said, "Could it be that...Hermione, after you talked to Mr. Dean about the observation room, you went back to find Maka.

With Lupin?"

Perhaps it was Ron's guess that made Hermione understand that even if she continued to hide it, it would only make Harry think more wildly. She finally nodded as if giving up and said:

"Yes, but I didn't see Maka. He had already left when I went there. So, I just chatted with Lupine again..."

"What did he say, Lupine?"

Out of the blue, Harry suddenly asked, which made Ron feel a little bad. He suddenly thought that he probably shouldn't have said this to Hermione in front of Harry.

Unfortunately, by the time he realized something was wrong, it was obviously too late.

But on the other side, Hermione seemed to be ready to face Harry, and immediately replied:

"Lupine said 'it's okay', and he also said...if something really happened, he would definitely be more anxious than anyone else."

However, this alone obviously cannot make Harry feel relieved. No matter how slow he is, he cannot easily relax when it comes to Sirius' safety.

Rather, once you realize this, it will be difficult to feel at ease.

But at this moment, Hermione suddenly continued:

"To be honest, even if Lupine said that in front of me, I really didn't see any abnormality in his expression at all. But..."

Although she didn't finish her words, even Harry could hear exactly what she wanted to say.

But soon, she shook her head again, and then said to Harry and Ron:

"However, what Neville said just now makes me wonder if I really think too much."

"Why?"

Ron couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard what she said.

"I think... Maka must be worried that we will sneak away to London, so she asked the most honest Neville to be responsible for keeping an eye on us, right? Isn't... that's the case?"

"Um……"

Hearing this, Hermione pondered for a moment, then raised her head again and said:

"Indeed... Generally speaking, you should think so. But... do you think Maka can't think of things you can think of?"

As she was speaking, she paused briefly and then continued:

"To be honest, I think Maca probably knows each of us better than we do ourselves...including Neville. It is impossible for him not to know that Neville is the kind of person who is too honest and has difficulty keeping secrets.

"

"Well," Ron thought for a moment after hearing this, "could it be that you want to say that Maka deliberately wants us to go to London?"

"what are you talking about!"

Seeing that Ron's thinking was too divergent, Hermione couldn't help but sigh.

"I'm wondering if what Maka and Neville said is actually something that has nothing to do with what we think? Are we thinking too much about it?"

After Hermione's little analysis, Ron gradually accepted Hermione's statement that "everything is just his own imagination."

After all, Neville didn't explain it clearly in the end. It was all just their own imagination, wasn't it?

However, unlike Hermione and Ron, who were able to think calmly, Harry, who heard that something might have happened to Sirius, had already heard these conversations go in one ear and out the other.

At this moment, his mind was full of "how to leave Spiral Town" and "should he ask Maka to let him go to London first", and he had no time to think about other things.

"No... no!"

Just when Hermione and Ron were looking at each other and thinking, Harry took a sudden breath and said:

"Come on, let's quickly go to the observation room to find Maka. I'm going to London!"

"Why!"

Ron saw this and almost subconsciously grabbed Harry's clothes.

"Wait a minute...didn't you hear Maka repeatedly reiterate the danger in London today? How could he agree?"

The person who had the biggest reaction to Ron's words was not Harry, but Hermione who was a little behind. After hearing Ron's words, she immediately knew that things might be going to the worst that she had imagined.

direction has developed.

It is probably impossible for Harry to give up going to London at this time, and the only one who can stop Harry now is Maka.

It was rare that when Harry became more and more anxious, he still understood that he should go to Maka to ask for permission for this matter, but Ron accidentally let out what was in his heart.

Yes, how could Maka agree? But the only way to stop Harry is to let him and Maka meet.

"ah!"

After Ron's unconscious reminder, Harry immediately realized that this was indeed the case. He immediately turned around and ran towards the exit.

"Wait! No, Harry, you wait first."

Ron, who finally realized that he had said something unnecessary, hurriedly wanted to catch up and stop the other person, and Hermione quickly followed him.

"Sure enough... still shouldn't say it!"
