harry potter book of crimes

After discussing with Sarah about Delphi's trip to London, Hermione finally came down from the attic with Hannah again, carrying an empty meal basket.

To be honest, they didn't actually come up with any practical results from their discussion.

When the two of them returned to the living room downstairs, they found that Harry and the others had received the reminder given by Hermione just now and had returned from outside.

"Has Miss Hohenheim finished eating?" Ginny, who seemed to have just come from the backyard, happened to pass by the stairs. When she saw Hermione and Hannah, she immediately said hello to them, "Hannah, hurry up.

Come on! Just now I heard your Neville holding his stomach and crying out that he was hungry!"

"What 'mine'...I know! Dinner is ready and can be served soon!"

Hannah said this a little shyly, and then Hermione, who was beside her, nodded and hurried to the kitchen.

Hermione and Ginny watched her run away in a panic, and couldn't help but smile at each other.

But at this moment, Hermione was heard saying:

"And Ginny, where's 'your' Harry?"

"Of course he's hungry too," Hermione joked, but Ginny didn't show much panic like Hannah. Instead, she smiled and said, "He has worked so hard. I feel proud and distressed at the same time..."

We have to let him eat more in a while!”

But think about it, Ginny's feelings for Harry were vaguely born as early as her childhood, and she was even more enthusiastic than she is now. Now that Ginny has matured, she has gradually become more restrained.

But her love for Harry must have become much stronger and deeper.

Nowadays, what is there to be ashamed of?

"Yeah?"

Hearing this, Hermione couldn't help but feel happy for her good friend Harry - he was undoubtedly lucky to be favored by such a kind and brave girl.

"Then we'd better go there quickly! Otherwise, Hannah is ready and everyone has to wait for us with a delicious dinner over there."

"Well, let's go." Ginny responded immediately.

…

The dinner was not a very rich one, but it was enough to soothe everyone's tired bodies after a hard and busy day. Not long after, Hermione and the others put down their tableware one after another, facing an empty table.

He let out a comfortable sigh.

"I am full!"

Ron patted his belly gently and said lazily.

In fact, if you pay more attention, you will find that Ron seems to be more relaxed and casual recently.

Moreover, it seems that it is not a "bad" casualness, but a quite beneficial relaxing state of mind.

In the past few days, the number of living corpses he can deal with every day has increased, and the mistakes he made from time to time have also been greatly reduced. It can be said that although he seems to be a little more casual now, he

The efficiency of doing things has obviously improved a lot.

However, the reason for his change was somewhat subtle.

Because Ron seems to have just suddenly felt that no girl will like him in this life. So in this case, is there any need to maintain or retain the behaviors he usually performs on himself?

"Ron, don't slump like this in front of the dining table. Do you know what politeness is?" Ginny rolled her eyes at him and said, "Sit down quickly! Hurry."

"Oh...Okay, okay! Don't be so loud, I understand."

Ron then sat up straight again, then picked up the cup and took another sip of water.

At this moment, everyone suddenly saw Neville, who was sitting on the other side, suddenly put his hands on the table and stood up from his chair.

"What's wrong?" Harry on the side saw this and looked at him quickly and asked.

But Neville didn't explain immediately. He just stood there in silence. After a while, he came back to his senses under everyone's worried eyes.

Then, I heard him say:

"My patron saint has disappeared again."

"Where did it disappear?" Hermione immediately asked.

But Neville immediately pointed at her and said:

"Here's the problem - I have changed the route of the attempt according to what you said, Hermione. But this time, the situation has become even stranger than before."

As he spoke, he paused briefly, then looked at Hermione and continued:

"Based on time and distance, my patron saint should have successfully arrived in Weymouth this time. However, the place where it lost contact with me seems to be Weymouth as well... and it's even stranger.

The best thing is that before the contact was interrupted, I actually received feedback that the message I left was successfully delivered."

The technique created by Dumbledore to use the Patronus to transmit information cannot achieve accurate two-way communication. After the Patronus is sent out, it will be difficult for Neville, as the caster of the spell, to track and understand it through it.

At best, you can get some very simple feedback - for example, whether the message was delivered to the target or not.

After Hermione listened to Neville's story, she suddenly became confused and said:

"According to what you said, can I understand that... your patron saint has actually successfully sent the message, and in fact, Bill is currently in Weymouth?"

"I can't be sure, the time is too short, but it is indeed possible." Neville nodded, "Of course, it may also be Charlie, because I didn't let him only go to Bill."

But soon, Hermione immediately remembered the discussion she had with Sarah in the attic before dinner. After a slight hesitation, she saw that her expression suddenly became serious again.

"Or," Hermione continued, "Maybe even your Patronus was intercepted by something?"

Yes, using a patron saint to send messages to others is indeed a great way of communication, and it is also very difficult to intercept the message midway. But even if it is a difficult thing, there is no guarantee that no one will be able to complete it.

And coupled with the possibility that Bill or Charlie went to Weymouth in this matter, it obviously cannot be ignored.

"That won't work," Hermione said with a slight frown, "Judging from the current situation, there may also be demons in Weymouth. And whether it is Bill or Charlie, if they encounter demons... it will be terrible.

Got it!"

"So, do you need me to go back to Weymouth to have a look?" Harry swallowed all the food left in his mouth, and then took the initiative, "Bill and Charlie have to go if they are in Weymouth.

Make sure you confirm it before you can rest assured.”

"Um."

Hermione thought for a while and finally nodded.
