harry potter book of crimes

When Hermione slowly opened her eyes, the darkness that once made her extremely depressed had dissipated, and was replaced by a white roof that seemed familiar to her.

You can feel that the pain in your body has disappeared. Now, you seem to be lying on a soft and warm bed, your whole body is lazy and you can't use any strength.

However, the memories before she passed out quickly burst out from deep inside her heart, filling her heart at once.

"Is it...Professor Dumbledore?"

To be honest, her consciousness was a little blurry during the short period of time before she fainted. Looking back at this moment, most of her head was filled with that cool and dim feeling, but only the figure of Dumbledore,

But it was deeply engraved in her mind.

When she thought of this, she couldn't help but take her hand out of the quilt and touched her chest with some difficulty. However, there was nothing there.

"Or is it just a dream?"

Dumbledore was dead. She saw his body with her own eyes and even attended his funeral in person. Even at the last moment, she clearly saw Maka sealing Dumbledore's body in ice.

The lakeside that still remains at Hogwarts.

And how could a person who had died long ago still talk to her like that and try to save her?

Apart from "it was a dream", Hermione couldn't think of any other explanation, because even in the magical world, the principle of "the dead is gone" is common.

"...thirst...water."

However, just when Hermione felt her throat was dry and turned to look at the bedside table next to her, a flash of scarlet quietly entered her field of vision.

Yes, that's the silver necklace. Is it the pendant on the necklace with a dim gemstone? Or was it set by Maka for her later!

She still remembers that it was a damaged magic stone that was smashed out of the bezoar that Dumbledore gave her as a relic.

In this way, Dumbledore's words "The last gift I leave you" in her memory were obviously referring to this.

Yes, it was definitely not a dream. When she fell into the most dangerous situation so far, it was indeed Dumbledore who saved her!

Recalling it slowly like this, Hermione couldn't help but turn over with some difficulty, reaching out to reach for the necklace that someone had placed on the bedside table.

Yes, there were even a lot of dried blood stains on the surface of the dark red gemstone. With just a slight touch, they turned into powder and slid down from the top, falling on the white pillow cover.

And at this moment, there was a sudden "click" of the doorknob being turned not far from the bed.

"Hermione!"

Accompanied by a burst of hurried footsteps, the familiar voice soon sounded next to him again.

"Hermione, are you awake? Do you feel okay?"

"Ron..."

With the help of the other party, Hermione turned over and lay back on her back, and then she saw the familiar face with the surprise on her face.

"You are here, which means... this is the observation room under New St. Mungo's?"

"Oh, that's it!" Ron said while hurriedly twisting the towel for her, "It was Maka who sent you back. You don't know, but I saw him running over in a hurry, and his

Holding you in my arms with blood all over your body, I almost fainted! Fortunately, Maka said that fortunately, I was rescued in time..."

Ron was talking nonchalantly, and it could be seen that he was really happy to see that Hermione in front of him could wake up safely.

"And Maka also said that for some reason, you don't seem to be cursed by the fog! So don't worry! Maka has checked it for you, and you won't be like the two people next door.

No one can move."

"curse……"

Hearing Ron talk about this, Hermione's heart couldn't help but move.

"Maka, does he really 'don't know why'?"

Suddenly, Hermione recalled the scene where the necklace was placed on the bedside table just now.

Yes, Maka probably knew, at least he had definitely guessed some of the reasons. Hermione squeezed the gem in her hand slightly, and the hard, smooth and sharp-edged touch silently proved this.

And maybe, Maka could find her in the fog in time, precisely because Maka had already noticed Dumbledore's appearance at that time.

"Ron," after a short pause, Hermione couldn't help but ask softly, "How long have I been unconscious? And, where is Maka and others?"

"how long?"

Ron handed the wrung towel to Hermione who insisted on wiping her face, then thought for a moment and said:

"It won't take long! It will only be half an hour at most. Maka also said before leaving that you are recovering well and you will wake up soon."

As he spoke, he scratched his head and then continued:

"As for Maka...he did mention that he was going to the open space in front of the church ruins outside. It seems that Harry is waiting there! Well, I guess Harry doesn't know that you are injured, otherwise he would definitely

Will come back too.”

"It's better not to let him know it yet," Hermione shook her head and said, "Now that I'm fine, it doesn't matter anymore...Has half an hour passed? This also means that the army of living corpses

It's coming soon, right? Compared with this little thing like mine, that's the big thing that needs to be dealt with with all your strength!"

"It's not a 'little thing'!" When Ron heard this, he immediately retorted, "That's not what I said. Maka was also here until she confirmed that your injury has fully recovered and then left!"

"Yes, really?"

Seeing Ron say this, Hermione couldn't help but be slightly startled, then she pursed her lips and slowly closed her eyes.

"Then let me rest for a while! Maybe in a while, no one here will have a rest."

"Uh, okay!" Seeing this, Ron nodded and said, "Then I'll go out and get you some food to fill your stomach after you rest for a while."

After Ron waved his wand and took the basin out, Hermione opened her eyes again and stared at the white ceiling in silence.

…

There was one thing Hermione didn't ask, but it was already obvious.

The fog that drifted all the way from London finally stopped completely in Canterbury, arriving at its destination ahead of the zombies.

Currently, Maka and Harry were sitting together on the pile of rubble beside the open space in front of the church ruins.

"Harry, be prepared...those guys are coming soon!"

"Yeah, Maka, I know."

This war against the zombie army is finally coming to an end.
