harry potter book of crimes

All the teachers and students of Hogwarts who went on a study tour are really coming back!

Even if the disaster is still coming, even if the campus has been lost, even the only shelter he is on, the Change, is still borrowed.

However, the truly unyielding ones are the ones who are determined not to give in when facing a future that seems to be getting darker and darker.

Minerva McGonagall is like this, other professors are like this, and even many young wizards are like this.

When they discovered that even if they tried their best to avoid it, they would inevitably be dragged into this disaster, and returning to land became a foregone conclusion.

"Professor McGonagall said in the letter that the Change will dock in Genoa, Italy - she seems to have some old acquaintances with the Medici family in the Italian magical world. She can temporarily accommodate teachers and students, and help repair the ship.

"

As Lupine read the letter, he roughly summarized what he had read. However, perhaps because Professor McGonagall did not explain the details very clearly, this made him feel a little confused when he read certain places.

Confuse.

But at this moment, the old housekeeper who had been silent until now suddenly spoke:

"I think it's more than just Ms. Mag's acquaintance with someone from the Medici family... At least this is probably not the main reason. In fact, as far as I know, a certain ancestor of the Italian Medici family seems to be

He had some friendship with Godric Gryffindor of Hogwarts."

It truly is a living family tree of European wizards, and the old butler’s knowledge of these family origins is at his fingertips.

You know, after the Medici family completely distanced themselves from the Muggle world in the 18th century, their daily life has become extremely low-key compared to their former glory.

It has even reached the point where most of the wizarding forces outside of Italy have almost completely forgotten their existence.

But even so, the old butler still clearly remembers the past of this family that is no longer conspicuous now, and can even talk about the relationship between their ancestors and Gryffindor casually.

"Of course," the old housekeeper nodded again at the end, "if there was no closer and more direct contact, Ms. McGonagall would not have decided to go to Genoa. So Mr. Lupin, your guess may also be possible.

.”

"Well," Lupine nodded slightly when he heard this, "Since there was such a relationship, it's no wonder that Professor McGonagall chose to go ashore in Genoa."

Having said this, he suddenly and subconsciously glanced at Arthur, whose face was still a little gray, and then turned to look at Sirius and said:

"Now that we have received information about the exact landing point of the Change, you should go there in person! Genoa...if we start preparing to evacuate, we will probably pass there. You can go and take a look at the situation first.

"

"good."

Seeing that Sirius decisively accepted the task, Lupine turned his head and looked at Arthur again. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something more to the other party, but in the end he took back the words that had already reached his lips.

Obviously, he originally wanted to give Arthur something to do, so that he would not have too much free time and could not help but think wildly. However, Arthur was obviously not the kind of person who needed to rely on distraction to resolve his worries.

And just when Sirius glanced at the others and said that he was going to prepare his luggage, Luna's distinctive voice suddenly came from the other side of the door - according to Kingsley's previous words.

She said the instructions very loudly this time, but her tone still had an inexplicable erraticness.

"Mrs. Weasley? Oh, long time no see...eh? Is this beef stew? It's so delicious!"

"It's Molly here."

Hearing Luna's voice, Arthur, who was still looking depressed, immediately sat up straight, raised his hands and rubbed his face vigorously. Then, he heard him remind again:

"Don't say anything about Percy!"

…

"Oh! Little Luna? My dear, why are you here... Where are the others? Are Ron and Ginny back too?"

When Mrs. Weasley walked over with two large dinner baskets and saw Luna standing at the door, she immediately showed surprise and surprise on her face.

As for Luna... To be honest, if someone else was standing alone at the door at this time, it would definitely make Mrs. Weasley suspicious. But once it was replaced by Luna, the scene seemed to suddenly become

It became very natural.

Needless to say, who would see a blond girl squatting beside a flower pot next to the gate, curiously looking at the ladybugs on the petals, and would still doubt whether she was guarding the door?

Her behavior itself is strange enough.

What's more, this girl is someone who shouldn't be here at this moment.

"Ron and Ginny?" Luna looked back at Mrs. Weasley, shook her head and said loudly, "They didn't come, I came alone..."

As she was speaking, she seemed to suddenly realize something again, and suddenly raised her head and glanced at the sky.

"Ah! Is it already this time? I think I have to go."

"Now?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Weasley couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said:

"My dear, when did you come? Are you leaving so soon? Oh, didn't you say this beef stew is delicious? Otherwise, at least you should stay and eat together before leaving?"

"Well."

Luna looked at the meal basket in Mrs. Weasley's hand, smelled the alluring aroma, and swallowed unsatisfactorily. But after being entangled for a while, she finally shook her head hard.

"Next time! If there is a chance." Luna said reluctantly, "I haven't finished what others have entrusted me to do! I have to rush to Beauxbatons... By the way, Mrs. Weasley

.If Willie asks about me later, please help me tell her that I will tell her father about her situation here."

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Weasley wanted to say something more, but she didn't expect Luna to be extra decisive and trot away in the direction she came from.

"Luna! Help me tell Ron and the others to be more careful - his dad and I will be here waiting for them to come back together!"

"Know it!"

When Luna said this response, she had already run very far.

"Molly, you're here."

Just when Mrs. Weasley was regretting not being able to ask Luna more about the children's current situation, her husband's voice suddenly sounded behind her. Although the voice was still as relaxed and casual as before, it was much more relaxed.

Little...but it seems there are still some indescribable things being suppressed.

"That kid Luna, are you leaving now?"
