"...Is it better to run away?"

Maka, who was leaning against the wall and standing in the corridor outside the observation room, suddenly paused after saying these words, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"Oh, is this just right...it seems like I don't have to worry."

After muttering like this, he couldn't help but nodded slightly, then turned around, opened the door of the observation room next door, and walked in briskly.

…

"Harry, wait! Please stop for a moment."

Although he was getting more and more anxious, Harry still had to stop moving forward when he saw Hermione opening her arms to force herself in front of him.

"Hermione, don't stop me...you know, I have to go."

"Harry!"

Hermione stared, seeming a little angry and said:

"Do you think I have to stop you from going? To be honest, I want to go myself! But look at you now, who can trust you to go to London?"

After saying this to Harry, she pursed her lips and said seriously:

"Calm down first, okay?"

Hermione's questioning made Harry unable to say a word. He actually understood that the consequences of being too impulsive are usually not very good, but the so-called care is chaotic, which is natural for him who is already easily impulsive.

It becomes even more obvious.

When he took a deep breath and seemed to have finally suppressed the turbulence in his heart, Hermione continued what he had just said:

"Harry, as I just said, in fact, not only me, I believe Ron also wants to go to London with you to confirm Sirius's safety. Even Neville, who has always been cautious, must be like this, just because

He also knows your temperament very well, so he did not hesitate to lie and hide the matter."

"Um."

Harry listened silently and nodded honestly. He knew that what Hermione said was correct.

At this moment, Hermione suddenly hesitated, then looked into Harry's eyes and said:

"Have you calmed down? So, you and Maka have met Haierbo before. There is a question you must answer honestly. If the three of us go there and meet that guy again, the chance of winning... No

, can you 'escape'? Or, what if it's you alone?"

Even if it was only for a moment, Harry was the only person other than Maka and Delphi who was still alive after a head-on confrontation with Haierbo.

But even if he said that, he didn't know what the answer to this question would be.

He only remembered that it was entirely thanks to Maka that he blocked the tall figure covered in darkness, and he was able to escape from the fog. Without Maka, the true power of Gryffindor's sword would not have been unleashed.

Even if he cuts the opponent, he can only create a small gap in his body that can be easily repaired at any time.

That is not an enemy that ordinary people can imagine.

"To be honest," Harry was stunned in place for a long time, and then said with a look of disappointment, "It's impossible for me alone... I can't fight, and I can't escape. And if the three of us meet together,

It’s just two more lives.”

Hermione listened to Harry's answer without saying a word, and stood motionless for a long time. After a moment, she nodded slightly, and then clapped her hands and said:

"Okay, then... let's go!"

"What?"

After Ron, who had been dragging Harry by his side, heard this, he even thought he had heard wrong. Not only him, but even Harry had no idea that Hermione would say that, and was stunned for a moment.

"I said, let's go!" Hermione waved her hand again and said, "Didn't I just say that? We are all worried about the situation at Sirius's side. I originally had plans to go. It's just because I have the same

I was worried about you, afraid that something might happen to you because of your recklessness, so I hid it from you and stopped you."

After a short pause, she spread her hands again and said:

"Now that you have calmed down, you have clearly compared your own strength with that of Haierbo. Now, I believe that you will make the most correct judgment at the most critical moment."

In fact, Hermione has always believed that Harry is always better than her in responding to situations. As long as she can recognize the situation clearly and don't be overly impulsive, Harry is actually the most likely person among all people to be able to help him.

one.

What is worth mentioning is that, although she was extremely reluctant, Hermione has actually excluded herself from those people.

"What are you still doing? Let's go!"

Having said this, Hermione immediately stopped waiting for Harry and Ron and turned around to run towards the exit. Harry and Ron, who were left behind, looked at each other. At this moment,

They couldn't help but reveal a knowing smile.

Previously, due to various reasons, their attention was focused on Sirius, London and Haierbo, but it was not until this moment that they reacted quickly.

In fact, isn't it always Hermione who is the most impatient among the three of them?

"Walk!"

"Um."

The two of them nodded to each other, and then without hesitation, they raised their legs and chased after Hermione, who had already run some distance away.

…

"Harry, hold your breath...Ron, don't crowd! The place is only so big, be careful!"

Near the exit, Hermione and the other three were sneaking forward. There were Aurors standing guard in front of them, and with the presence of the spell detected, it was very difficult to sneak out.

However, none of the three of them are familiar with Spiral Town, and even if there are other exits or secret passages, they don't know about them.

For them, this is the only way to the outside world.

At present, Harry gave his invisibility cloak to Ron, who was most likely to have problems, while he and Hermione used various hiding methods, including the Immortal Invisibility Potion.

But even so, the slightly drowsy passage ahead will be the biggest obstacle for them to get to London.

After all, the detection spell left at the only entrance was most likely set by Maka herself.

"Hermione, let me say...don't we really try to ask Maka?"

"It will be the same thing if he finds out."

"Um...oh, too?"

"Okay, stop talking, come on!"

The three of them whispered something at the entrance of the passage that had a silencing spell cast on it, and then started to walk into the passage one by one.

"Wait a minute, is it really okay to leave like this?"

"Huh? Now that things have happened, what else do you want to say...wait, who is speaking?"

Hermione stopped again as she was talking, and suddenly realized something was wrong, and her scalp felt slightly numb.

"Oh, you little guys...can't you even recognize my voice?"
