harry potter book of crimes

When Percy heard the whistling wind coming from the sky that was obviously not normal, he immediately thought of the "flying zombies" that Harry had mentioned.

However, it would be terrible if the flying zombies really attacked - unlike the zombie army on the ground, which is mainly composed of ordinary zombies, the individuals that can fly in the air have all evolved. And those who have advanced

With the upgraded power and the ability to fly, this is definitely a very difficult and extremely dangerous enemy for the regular group of modern wizards.

"Enemies! Get up and go to the defense line... no, go to the open space in the center of the camp to form an array!"

After saying hello to his friends who were resting, Percy immediately rushed towards the material storage tent not far away - he wanted to get a broom first.

However, just as he was running and scanning the air, trying to find the target where the wind was coming from, he saw a familiar figure.

"Fire dragon?" Percy's steps suddenly stopped, he looked up at the northern sky, and said blankly, "Norberta...it's Charlie!"

After checking the sky behind Norbert a few more times to confirm that no enemies were following them, Percy stopped everyone who was about to run towards the center of the camp.

"The alarm has been cleared...it's Charlie, it's Charlie who's back." He opened his arms to welcome him, "Everyone, go back! I saw it, it's Charlie...go back and continue to rest!"

Not long after, after driving everyone else back to the loading area of ​​the dock, Percy walked back to the entrance of the camp.

"Charlie, why are you back? Although I sent a message about shelving the plan, I didn't seem to ask you to come back?"

After all, he was his brother, so Percy spoke much more casually. Before he finished speaking, he went up to Charlie and hugged him hard, and then continued:

"But... to be honest, it's quite a good time for you to come back... Oh, isn't this Ms. Statham?"

When Percy saw the witch following Charlie who also got off the back of the fire dragon Norberta, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and showed a somewhat thoughtful expression.

"Well, she decided to come back with me to help everyone fight against the living corpses," Charlie didn't care about Percy's look. After patting Percy's arm, he just said, "I came back because..."

It could be found that Charlie was about to mention Maca, but after looking left and right at the other wizards who were gradually gathering around the camp, he put the topic aside for now.

I saw him purse his lips, and then turned around very naturally:

"Why is it 'it's about time'? What happened?"

"Alas," Percy sighed, shaking his head as he pulled him towards the tent of the temporary command post, "You should have seen the letter I sent to Hogwarts, right? The plan to retake Birmingham has been suspended.

——But I didn’t write down the reason for doing this in the letter. But in fact..."

As he said this, he suddenly glanced around, then leaned into Charlie's ear and whispered:

"Actually, that's because Hermione and Harry suddenly decided to leave here and go to Winchester to find a way to meet Maca."

"What?"

When Charlie heard this, he immediately frowned and said:

"Then...have they already set off?"

"Left a few days ago," Percy scratched his head and said, "Ron and Ginny also went with them - this was a decision made by Hermione and Miss Lovegood together, and Harry naturally agreed, so

There's nothing I can do to stop it."

"This -" Charlie frowned and said with a complex expression, "Then I'm afraid their trip was in vain."

"What do you mean?" Percy couldn't help but be a little confused when he heard what he said.

"Anyway, let's talk about it after we go in."

Before he finished speaking, Charlie grabbed Percy's arm, dragged him a few steps quickly, and then rushed into the command tent.

When Ms. Statham, who was walking beside them, saw this, she immediately followed them in.

After Percy closed the door, Charlie said a little uneasily:

"I originally wanted to discuss this matter with Hermione and the others, but since they are not here, I will only talk to you alone. Because I think there are still many doubts about this, so remember not to let too much

Many people know!”

Having said this, Charlie paused for a moment and then said:

"Maka went to Hogwarts, and... to be honest, he seemed to have become very strange. Didn't you just ask me why I came back? In fact, I was 'driven' back by Maka...

…”

So, Charlie told Percy the whole process of meeting Maka at Hogwarts, and after he finished talking about leaving Hogwarts, he added:

"...Later, I followed the old Sir to the Yorkshire Dales and helped them settle in. Then I set off with Kate and came back here."

"Well."

After hearing about Charlie's experience of meeting Maka, Percy immediately fell into deep thought and didn't even have the time to pay attention to Charlie's habitual calling of Ms. Statham's name.

After a while, he couldn't help but look at Charlie again, and said hesitantly:

"Would that mean...not Maka?"

"No... I mean, probably not." Charlie explained, "Not many people knew about the transport of Noble back then - not even you knew about it, right?"

"But, 'memory' is not a very reliable thing," Percy said, but quickly shook his head, "Forget it. It's endless if you say this. But, no matter what, this matter is

It’s indeed a big problem!”

After sighing like this, Percy pondered for a while, and then as if he suddenly remembered something, he looked up at Charlie again and said:

"By the way, did you just mention that the father and daughter from the Blois family are also with Maka?"

"Well, yes," Charlie nodded, "or to be more precise, 'there are only two of them around Maka'."

Percy thought about this for a while, then nodded slightly and said:

"Let's see! We can't figure anything out just by thinking about this matter here - we have to find other people to discuss it with. And who should we talk to... I think it's probably only Blois.

It’s our old housekeeper.”

"Old housekeeper?"

"Yes," Percy said, "Since Maka refused to say anything and forced you to leave Hogwarts, then if we want to know the truth, we can only start with the other people around him.

Yes, isn't it?"

"It can only be the."

Charlie thought for a while and then nodded.

"Then you continue to stay here, Kate and I will go to Belgium."
