harry potter book of crimes

Just when Blois Castle received the news that the fog had quickly moved to the Strait of Dover, a dazzling "flame mushroom" bloomed in the fog area above the sea.

"boom"

Harry and Sirius, who were preparing to lead the patrol team to retreat in the warehouse, felt the ground beneath their feet tremble suddenly, and then there was a loud noise coming from the direction of the strait to the west.

When the two men and their team members hurriedly ran out of the warehouse, got on their broomsticks, and wanted to go to the beach to see what happened, a huge tsunami hit the port like a high wall.

.

"Climb! Quick!"

Fortunately, these patrol members who were selected to stay at this outpost are all good at flying, and everyone is calm enough. Otherwise... I must say, don't underestimate humans and animals just because they usually look harmless.

It's terrible to fall into the water. If they were swallowed by that astonishing tsunami, they wouldn't be able to come out alive even with a broomstick!

"what on earth is it?"

Harry and the others, who had flown to a high altitude to avoid the tsunami attack, had time to take one more look in the direction of the strait. However, the dense gray fog still did not dissipate after such an explosion, which made people unable to

Can't see exactly what happened.

"Was that an explosion just now?" Harry asked Sirius with a shocked look on his face, "Could it be Haierbo? No...but why did it happen like this on the sea where there is nothing?"

But this time, even Sirius, who was well-informed and quick-thinking, didn't know how to answer his question. After hesitating for a moment, he could only frown and said slowly:

"I don't know, it's just... I think this explosion may not be the work of Haierbo. Of course, it is definitely related to him. If I have to say... I think it is more likely.

Someone is attacking him to try to prevent the fog from landing on the French side."

This guess was naturally just a guess when Sirius said it. But soon, his last words seemed to have been proven. Well, let’s not say who caused the explosion. At least it had moved.

When we reached the mist between the straits, we suddenly stopped moving.

"Sirius," Harry looked at the stagnant fog and couldn't help but hesitantly asked again, "Should we...should go take a look? Well, I mean, even if we just walk around the fog area.

good."

However, after hearing this, Sirius simply shook his head.

"No!" He said seriously, "Since ancient times, many examples have told us that when we don't even know what happened, staying away is the most correct choice! After all, at this time, we will

Wouldn't it be enough to tell Maka everything he saw? With his wisdom, he will definitely give us an accurate enough answer."

"Ah! Well, yes!" Harry nodded hurriedly after hearing this, "Then let's do it."

However, just when Harry was about to convey the matter to Maca in Blois Castle, the letter sent by Ginny through the magic of the Blois family was delivered to him first.

"Sirius," Harry said softly, staring at the piece of paper, "Maka said we can go back."

…

News about the explosion in the middle of the Strait of Dover came faster than Harry and the others.

To be honest, when Maka heard the news from the old housekeeper, he couldn't help but wonder for a while, and then after some thinking, he figured out a certain possibility.

In fact, according to the description of the family wizard who reported to Blois Castle, this explosion, which no one could see because it happened in the fog, was even more powerful than the Macca The explosion of the group of living zombies that was almost half-dead was much bigger.

As for who else could cause such a terrifying explosion... at least as far as Maka's judgment was concerned, it was already something that even Haierbo couldn't easily do.

"It's a Muggle," Maka, who finally lay down on the bed, couldn't help but said seriously after thinking deeply, "that's right... that's a very terrifying weapon developed by Muggles. Or it can be said that it is a kind of 'Muggle magic'! As for which force is responsible for it... Mr. Butler, you have to trouble Mr. Blois to find Madame Maxime, and then let him She should ask the Muggle leader in France!"

"Okay, Mr. McClain, I'll be there right away."

Seeing the old housekeeper leaving again, Willy couldn't help but asked in confusion:

"Maka, what do you mean by 'Muggle magic'?"

It would undoubtedly be quite difficult to explain to a wizard who didn't know much about Muggles what it was. So he didn't intend to explain it in detail, so he just said directly:

"In short, it is a one-time weapon that can cause a powerful explosion. And after the explosion is over, it will still be left in a large area...how to say? A very violent 'toxin'?"

Of course, the specific situation needs to be truly investigated before we can judge it, not to mention that Maka himself may not know much about it, so I can only explain it briefly for the time being.

Seeing Maka following closely, he turned around and said:

"All in all, the fact that the explosion occurred in the fog and on the sea is not very important to us. I am just worried about whether Harry and Sirius were affected."

But before he finished speaking, the old butler who had left not long ago came back, and with him came a piece of good news that could relieve everyone's worries.

"Mr. MacLean, Mr. Porter and Mr. Black, as well as the team that stayed in Calais at that time, are already in the hall. However, the head of the family doesn't have time to see them yet, so he asked me to inform you directly. You see , should we let a few people go over?"

"Maca, I'll just go," Ginny said immediately after the old butler finished speaking, "I'll bring Harry and Sirius over directly."

"No, no need," Maka said immediately, "Luna, Delphi... help me, let's go together!"

"Maka, how can this be done? You'd better lie down!" Hermione on the side said hurriedly, "You need to rest."

"Yes!" Maka smiled, "I need to rest... But, it must not be now. You also heard it just now. Mr. Butler said that the mist has stopped moving. And this... I think it means that the explosion happened. Shi Haibo is really inside!"

"But now...he has probably left."
