harry potter book of crimes

"Hermione...are we really leaving like this? To be honest, I didn't even understand what happened just now. Why did we leave in such a confused way?"

There are almost no people on the streets at the moment, because under Lupine's arrangement, the manpower responsible for defending the interior of the town has been deployed to the outer areas and near the central square.

At this moment, Ron was carrying a stretcher using a levitating spell, taking Hermione, who still had mobility issues, towards the previous temporary residence.

Although he is still in a state of confusion, since Hermione agrees with the suggestions brought by Delphi, there seems to be no need for him to object.

Ron has always trusted Hermione's judgment.

But, believe it or not, he was still confused where he should be. While taking Hermione back to his residence, he couldn't help but ask a question along the way.

But what he didn't expect was that Hermione, who was lying on the stretcher, shook her head after hearing his doubts.

"Actually, I don't know much better than you about this matter," she lay on her back and thought for a while, "but at least I can be sure that this is indeed Maka's intention. As for what exactly Maka is planning.

What, I dare not draw a conclusion easily now... Maybe we won’t know until we return to our residence according to what Delphi said!"

Hermione's words are actually still somewhat ambiguous, but Ron can hear it at least. Obviously, Hermione most likely has a specific guess in her mind, but she is not sure enough, so she said that she

“I dare not draw conclusions easily yet.”

At this point, Ron was quite relieved. Because what Hermione was guessing was obviously Maka's plan, and how could Maka's plan be so easy to guess? She couldn't figure it out until the last moment.

Ron was used to this.

So this time, he didn't ask anything, but subconsciously quickened his pace.

Not long after, when the main road was finally no longer empty, but gradually there were scattered patrols coming and going in a hurry, he turned a corner at an intersection, took a short detour in an alley, and finally arrived at his destination.

land.

To be honest, Ron felt a little pity looking at such a big house, because after they were assigned to this temporary residence, it seemed that they basically didn't make good use of it.

"Squeak"

After Ron casually pushed open the unprotected door and took a look inside, he couldn't help but mutter:

"Hermione, didn't she say that Maka set up protective magic here? It seems...it doesn't seem to be any different from before we left?"

"Who knows? Don't stand here talking at the door, just go in!" Hermione said, "I guess no one is in the room, it's just us who are back."

Ron nodded slightly when he heard the words, then waved his wand and took Hermione on the stretcher to the living room downstairs.

But at this moment, with another "creak" sound, the seemingly innocent door behind the two people closed automatically with a "bang".

"Okay! It seems that even if it's not Maka, there is a wizard who is far more powerful than me and has come over to make some arrangements...Hermione, didn't you find anything?"

Hermione didn't reply because there was no need to answer.

Before he finished speaking, he saw a breeze suddenly blowing up in the living room. A cloud of dust came from nowhere and transformed into Maka's human form. He stretched out his hand and handed over a piece of tissue paper.

When Ron subconsciously raised his hand to take it, he saw the figure made of dust immediately returned to dust, fell back to the ground silently and disappeared.

"What does it say?"

Seeing this, Hermione, who was struggling to hold up her upper body on the stretcher, couldn't help but ask.

…

Just when Ron and Hermione were called to their temporary residence by Delphi and received the news that Maca had stayed there earlier, the main force of the zombie army finally arrived as scheduled.

Maka and Harry stood in the open space outside and inside the church ruins respectively, and easily felt the vibrations coming from the ground that they had experienced earlier on the front line.

After a while, the source of the earthquake became obviously getting closer and closer, so close that if there was no such fog in the sky, it would probably be visible from a distance even under the cover of night.

But at this moment, suddenly, the earthquake on the ground disappeared very abruptly.

"Harry, focus, don't be distracted next time."

As soon as Maka finished speaking, Harry behind him didn't even have time to respond when he saw a tall black figure suddenly appear on the edge of the open space not far from here.

The other party was standing in the large area of ​​​​ice cones that Maka had created before, looking around with interest, seeming to be very interested in Maka's "artwork" of "icicles skewering living corpses".

"Don't be so nervous...the night is still very long."

"Really?" Maka said calmly, "But why do I feel that you can't wait any longer?"

While speaking, Maka moved his fingers slightly. Although nothing could be seen from his expression, he was almost completely on guard.

Haierbo is very strong, so strong that he can no longer completely contain him. This was proven by him at Hogwarts not long ago.

To be honest, no matter what Maka was planning, it can be said that he was always serious when fighting Haierbo.

It was impossible to fake the desperate situation of being seriously injured and unconscious at that time!

At the same time, after hearing Maka's words, Haierbo on the other side couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his dark bald head.

"'Can't wait'?" He murmured, then smiled softly and said, "Yes, after all, I am really happy now that the methods Rowena left behind have all failed so far. Because even if she does it again

No matter how smart I am, I didn’t expect that I would find this shortcut! This alone is enough to keep me happy for a long time.”

Yes, as Herbo said, Rowena Ravenclaw did leave many means against him.

For example, letting her husband survive into this era with difficulty, trying to use the power of meteorites to destroy the Devouring Mirror; for example, teaming up with Salazar Slytherin to prepare a special basilisk specifically targeting Halbo; another example

It is said that the power of a space rule is given to the bronze eagle, and its effect is so strong that it can even chop off the devil's arm at the shoulder level.

Even...maybe Maka, the so-called "candidate", is also included.

However, all of this caused a lot of trouble for Haierbo who was resurrected in this era, especially Maka, who possessed the Scroll of Truth and studied ancient rules of magic, and even suppressed Haierbo to run around the world.

However, all obstacles were overcome step by step by Haierbo.

"That's okay, you can just be 'pleased'!" At this time, Maka looked at the other person and said slowly, "But before that, I would like to ask you a question while I still have a chance to have a normal conversation with you.
