harry potter book of crimes

Regardless of the reason, it is naturally a good thing that Blois' actions can become positive. After all, Percy once wished to take back control of the entire Devon County, and it is obviously not easy to achieve this.

But in general, since the Burrow has basically gathered its highest combat power except Maka, and everyone prefers to play it steady. So far, there has not been any difficult situation to deal with.

, everything is moving in the expected direction.

The next morning, Blois got up early and went out with Safina without saying a word.

However, at the same time, at the refuge community in the rear area, Lu Ping and the others were in trouble. Needless to say, it was because of the letter from the Change.

…

"Sirius, are you leaving for the sea now?"

Originally, Sirius still wanted to leave quietly to do errands without disturbing everyone as he did before. But who knew that early that morning, when he habitually transformed into his Animagus form, he was ready to take advantage of the pre-dawn night.

When I ran out of the community quietly, I was blocked at the back door.

Under the already dim moonlight, Sirius transformed into a human form again, and then glanced dissatisfied at the figure leaning against the wall.

"Remus, it's not a full moon today, aren't you going to sleep at night?"

If there is anyone who knows Sirius best nowadays, it must be Lupine. The two have been friends for so many years, and they know each other's ins and outs, and they also know each other's temperament.

Just as Lupine had already guessed that Sirius would go out early in the morning, Sirius knew immediately as soon as he saw Lupine that this guy must have been guarding here for a long time.

"Since I went to Hogwarts and became a professor, I haven't turned into a werewolf for a long time." Lupine looked at the crescent moon in the western sky, sighed a little, then turned his head and said, "And

, answer my question first - are you going to sea now?"

"Otherwise? Where else can I go?" Sirius curled his lips, looked around again, then waved to Lupine and said, "Come in! Don't talk here."

Before he finished speaking, he immediately turned around and returned to the house. Seeing this, Lupine followed him in. Soon, the back door was closed again.

Not long after, in the dark living room, Sirius walked over and sat on the sofa.

"I won't light the lights. If you have any questions, just say it while it's still dark."

Since neither of them hated the dark, or in other words, they were already accustomed to dark places, Lu Ping obviously didn't care much about it. He followed him and sat down on the chair next to him.

"Don't worry," he shook his head and said, "You can't leave today...Some big things happened outside. So...maybe Professor McGonagall and the others made the right decision to return to land this time."

"Something happened again?" Sirius frowned when he heard this, "What happened?"

"Denmark is finished."

You don't know Lu Ping himself, what tone he used when he said these words. Maybe he was heavy, maybe he was helpless, or... maybe he was calm.

No matter how bad things are, as long as you have experienced a similar situation completely, when it happens again, you will probably feel nothing but powerlessness.

After a short pause, he continued to explain:

"The disaster, which was originally limited to the British territory, began to spread abroad... This news was sent to the Blois family by Madame Maxime, and then sent to me overnight - the vast majority of the Blois family in France

Some members and assets may start to move at any time, and they decide to take us, the people in the refuge community, with them."

Having said this, he casually took out a piece of letter paper and placed it in Sirius' hand.

"They take us seriously, so of course we have to cooperate. What's more, most of us refugees have little ability to protect themselves. That's why we came here to seek refuge in the first place, isn't it?

?"

After listening to Lupine's words, Sirius also picked up the letter and read it through the faint moonlight shining through the window.

Then, he nodded seriously and said:

"Inside the Blois family...it seems they don't think much of Hermione and Madame Maxime's resistance alliance either!"

The Blois family is a big family. In addition to the head of the family, Willy's father, there is also a family council. In addition to the general direction of the family's development, many small matters will be decided by the members of the family council, unless the head of the family expresses his attitude in person.

.

There are so many trivial matters in a big family that Blois cannot handle alone. In most cases, what he does is just to mark the approval or rejection of parliamentary resolutions.

But now that Mr. Blois himself has gone to the Burrow, the decision can only be made by the members of the Blois Family Council.

As for the old butler... in the final analysis, he is just a butler. According to the rules, he can only make suggestions at most.

Of course, in today's Blois family, his words should still be very effective - at least, Sirius seems to think so.

"In other words," he flicked the letter in his hand and said, "Steward Blois... and even the head of the Blois family may have been preparing to give up on following up on this resistance war."

"Yes!" Lu Ping couldn't help but nodded when he heard this, "Should I say 'fortunately'? Fortunately, the Blois family has never hidden things, and they still trust us and take care of us...

Otherwise, burdensome people like us will definitely be abandoned."

As he said this, he waved his hand again.

"Of course, I'm not here to discuss this with you this time - I want to say that since something happened in Denmark, which is across the North Sea from the UK, it's very likely that the Change at sea will also.

It is no longer safe. Didn't we speculate before that something might have happened to Professor McGonagall? Now it seems that the possibility is indeed very high."

"Well," Sirius nodded, "That's why I have to go there as soon as possible to see the actual situation?"

"Then what?" Lupine suddenly asked, "Since Professor McGonagall can still deliver the letter, and since the letter did not mention any accidents and only said that they would consider returning to land, this means that at least the Change is still in good condition.

Safety... In other words, the crisis has been temporarily over. So what we have to do now is probably not to go to the sea to find them, but to find a suitable place for them to land as soon as possible!"
