harry potter book of crimes

"So, the living corpse incident that happened in Beauxbatons was the conspiracy of the head of the family...that is, my uncle. He took advantage of me and turned me into a living corpse when I met Madame Maxime, which led to

It was a big mistake. After that, in order for me to prove all this, Mrs. Maxim had no choice but to use a certain method to transfer the power that turned me into a living corpse into her own body in time...

…”

At the observation window on the top floor of the East Tower, Hermione was looking into the distance with the several wizards and wizards responsible for the defense here. Through the translucent light green alchemy barrier, you could see that there were still a few living corpses wandering outside.

But after this period of continuous cleaning, at least there are a lot less of them nearby than before.

But at this moment, Miss Ida Brandt was standing behind Hermione, talking about what she said, which was said to be related to her life.

Obviously, because she had seen the horror of living corpses when she came here, she actually knew that this stronghold was about to suffer a large-scale attack.

In the tense atmosphere at this moment, she could only use as low a voice as possible to say all these things that were impossible for her to say.

Finally, Ida paused for a moment, and then saw Hermione temporarily withdrawing her gaze from outside, looking back at her slightly and saying:

"All said and done? Is that all?"

"Uh, yes." Ida nodded.

Hermione then nodded in understanding and said:

"I understand... Although, I don't think Mrs. Maxim will really threaten you with life and death, and... I tell you this, your head of the family is dead, and the matter seems to be in the past. Hmm...

Forget it, in short, you have finished what the lady asked you to do, so go back to the burrow to rest! The enemy should be coming soon, there is no need for you to stay here."

Hermione's tone was very gentle, because Ida was a victim in this matter anyway - being framed by one's own relatives was, after all, a very tragic thing.

However, it was really not the time to talk about this now. So after listening to the other party's story, Hermione immediately made it clear that she should go down from the tower.

In the final analysis, in front of the coming army of zombies, Ida's actions can only be regarded as trivial matters.

Ida probably understood this very well, so she nodded immediately, then turned around and walked towards the stairs.

However, just as she was about to leave as she was told, she heard Hermione behind her suddenly speak again:

"Oh! Miss Brandt, wait a moment, don't leave yet."

"Miss Granger...what's wrong?" Ida couldn't help but pause after hearing this, then turned back to the spiral steps going downstairs and said, "The power obtained from the living corpse has been transferred.

And disappeared, and with my own strength, I probably can’t help you resist the living corpses. Therefore——”

She seemed to think that after Hermione learned about the power she had when she turned into a living corpse, she suddenly wanted to keep her to fight with her.

But obviously, she guessed wrong.

"Oh no, Miss Brandt, I think you misunderstood." Hermione waved her hand and said, "I just wanted to ask suddenly, since President Akinbad came with you after the trial.

, so what’s the situation in the federation now? Well, I should have asked President Ajinbad about this, but you know, I don’t have time to go there now.”

When Ida heard what she said, she couldn't help but think about it and said:

"Mr. Akinbad mentioned this issue before. I remember he seemed to say that if Mrs. Maxim knew how to seize the opportunity, she should have become the new president of the Federation by now!"

"Yeah?"

After hearing this, Hermione frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded and said:

"If it's Mrs. Maxim, there should be no problem, as long as-"

Hermione was thinking about the internal turmoil in the Federation, and muttered a few words to herself. But suddenly, her words came to an abrupt end, and at the same time, she suddenly turned her head and looked again at the distant place outside the observation entrance.

horizon.

The zombie army is coming!

Although they are still a little far away, their arrival has caused the living zombies a little further away to become restless. Although there are not many living corpses left in the nearby area, they are gradually driving away a large number of them as they keep moving.

Others of the same kind have now appeared on the horizon.

As a result, Hermione had no time to continue talking to Ida. She only saw her hurriedly patting the latter's shoulder and speaking quickly:

"Let's not talk about it for now... Well, please tell Ron about these things about the Federation again! If Mr. Akinbad is willing, please also trouble him to add more, and then let Ron remember to try

Get in touch with Madame Maxime... Go ahead! Just as I said just now, Ron will know what to do."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Listening to Ida's leaving footsteps, Hermione thought about it again and found that there was no problem. Then she raised her eyes again and looked at the crowd of living corpses that were rushing towards them - these scattered guys were obviously not cloth.

The "organized" zombie team described by Mr. Lowa. And because the level of evolution is generally not high, it does not pose a great threat to the stronghold.

"I'm telling you, don't rush to take action now, wait until you see the real army of living zombies!"

Hermione said this, and immediately the wizard who had been waiting next to her began to send messages to other towers. And at this moment, she was carefully watching the dust rolling scene in the distance, and suddenly she accidentally saw a

The figure is flying towards this side at high speed in mid-air.

No, wait, it seems to be two people.

"It's Miss Geoffrey."

Because Safina's black flames were so obvious, Hermione just took a closer look and recognized the person... Oh, at least it was the identity of one of them.

As for the one who was obviously being taken away by Safina, could it be Ursula here again?

"It seems to be Luna?"

Thinking that when Charlie arrived with Akinbad and Ida, he had said that Luna was going to tangle with the living corpses to delay, Hermione thought that maybe it was Luna who actually met Safina, and then

They came back together.

"You guys stay here while I go up to the top platform."

After roughly figuring out who the two figures were, Hermione immediately stepped onto the stairs like Ida who had just left. However, Ida was going down, while Hermione was walking up.

.

Without saying much, he saw Hermione walking up to the platform. After he hurriedly glanced eastward for confirmation, he suddenly turned around and raised his hands in the direction of the Burrow to make a rough gesture.

Needless to say, she must have been saying hello to Sarah on the roof of the Burrow, asking her to temporarily close the alchemical barrier for Luna and Safina to let them in.
