harry potter book of crimes

"The Burrow? What happened to our family?"

Hearing Arthur's voice suddenly rang from the door, everyone present except Luna and the old housekeeper couldn't help but froze.

But while they were stunned, they saw Arthur walking from the door, with some doubts on his face.

Seeing that the other party has already arrived, it is definitely unrealistic to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

"Oh, actually it's nothing -"

Seeing that no one responded to Arthur at this time, the other party would inevitably become suspicious if the stalemate lasted for a long time. In the end, it was Kingsley who gestured to Luna, hinting her not to speak, and then took the initiative to answer:

"Harry and Ron seemed to have decided to use the Burrow as a base after some discussion. They have successfully settled there and are leading a group of wizards there, intending to build a new settlement centered on the Burrow.

Defensive measures... We were just discussing this matter, what do you think...?"

Of course, there was nothing fabricated in Kingsley's explanation, and every sentence was factual. However, he completely avoided talking about why Harry and the others chose the Burrow as their base.

"Use our house?"

When Arthur heard this, he couldn't help but nodded. While he didn't notice anything strange, he thought about it seriously in his heart.

"Well... of course it's possible. You can use the space in our house as you like! But to be honest, at least I think it's not appropriate to use the place in our house as a base," he said with a slight frown.

"Although the view there is good, once there are more enemies, it is easier to fall into a passive situation of being attacked from both sides - why not start from the Weymouth camp and try to win steadily?"

Because during this period of time, no one dared to tell the couple the truth about the breach of Weymouth's defenses, so Arthur and Molly still don't know that the Weymouth port camp has been turned into ruins.

Coupled with the recent arrival of demons and the accelerated evolution of zombies, the Burrow has become a safer area.

Just hearing Arthur ask this question, Kingsley was slightly startled again, and then he was ready to use similar wording again to avoid mentioning the most critical reason.

But who would have thought that at this moment, Lupine, who had been thinking about something next to him, suddenly sighed slightly, and then he suddenly interrupted Kingsley and said:

"Arthur, there's something... I think it's time to tell you and Molly."

"Remus?"

Hearing Lupine suddenly open his mouth like this, and seeing that he was planning to expose Percy's sacrifice here, everyone was subconsciously shocked.

Especially Kingsley, who was still racking his brains to try to hide it! Unexpectedly, Lupine no longer wanted to hide it anymore. Although he was not incapable of understanding Lupine's approach, but...

…Is it too sudden?

However, with Lupine's solemn start and the heavy expression on his face, it was obvious that no matter how quick and eloquent Kingsley was, it would be difficult for him to hide his words.

And at the next moment, Arthur, who was looking at the serious-looking Lupine, couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart, and finally paused and asked hesitantly:

"What's up?"

"It was Percy... he died in Weymouth in order to ensure that more people could retreat in time when they encountered a defensive battle in which zombies attacked the defense line on a large scale."

The one who finally revealed the truth was naturally Lu Ping. And we must know that not everyone can complete the task of telling the other person's death to their relatives.

But... of course, the one who is suffering the most at this moment must still be Arthur.

Although Percy, as a son, did not do some things well, and even almost betrayed his family in the past. But no matter what, he is Arthur and Molly's child, and this will definitely not change.

.

After experiencing previous failures, Percy himself had already received enough punishment. After a long sleep, he woke up and repented, and his performance and efforts were rewarded again.

Everyone’s trust, respect and even admiration.

Unfortunately, fate is sometimes kind and beautiful, and sometimes it is extremely cruel - the gap between life and death may be more insignificant than most people imagine.

"Percy? Sacrificed?"

Arthur Weasley is undoubtedly an interesting and optimistic man. Anyone who knows him can feel a comfortable sense of relaxation and joy in him on weekdays.

And if you are a wizard who is really familiar with him, you will further understand that he usually looks relaxed and laid-back, but in fact, at many critical moments, he is unexpectedly reliable and is a brave and persevering wizard.

.

However, except perhaps for his wife Molly, it would be difficult for anyone to imagine what he would look like when he was extremely sad.

"...Percy?"

More than ten seconds had passed since Lupine told the truth, but Arthur still just said Percy's name from time to time. He stood there blankly, as if a ball was stuffed into his heart.

The mess made it increasingly difficult for him to turn his head again.

"Remus."

Looking at Arthur's look, Kingsley couldn't help but look at Lupine helplessly, as if complaining that he exposed the matter so abruptly. Although, after so many days,

He was also secretly struggling with this matter in his heart.

However, it must be said that Lu Ping also had his own considerations when he decided to pierce this layer of paper.

In fact, Molly had already been here once before, and left here soon, returning to her house to prepare breakfast for the children. Therefore, she will definitely not come here again in a short time.

——Yes, even now Arthur suddenly came here again.

And just as Lupine had discussed with Sirius before, even if the news about Percy's death was to be informed to the Weasleys, it would be better to let Arthur know first.

So, when Arthur unexpectedly appeared at the door just now and overheard fragments of their conversation, Lupine, who considered that it would be harder to speak as the matter dragged on, suddenly thought of Xiang Ya in his mind.

Se's honest thoughts.

"It will definitely not be easy to accept this fact. Let him think about it carefully!" Lupine waved his hand to Kingsley and others aside, "Besides, there will be Molly later... let's not stay here either.

There is trouble here, let him be alone for a while."

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Arthur, who was still absent-minded just now, suddenly reached out and grabbed Lupine's arm, and said very seriously:

"etc!"
