harry potter book of crimes

The zombies that came back this time were different from any other time. The zombies with demons controlling them were no longer the fools and lunatics who acted only on instinct. Hermione was sure that this

This defensive battle will be very difficult.

Judging from my current experience, any battle involving demons will never be easy.

"call--"

Suddenly, a ball of black flames wrapped around two figures rushed in from a gap in the barrier, and quickly passed over the tower platform where Hermione was standing.

Although the black flames were still lingering, Hermione finally saw clearly this time that the person brought back by Safina was Luna! According to what Charlie and the others said when they came over, Luna made a temporary decision to try to delay the living.

The army of corpses.

Now that she and Safina are back, it means... the leading team of living corpses is coming soon.

At this moment, the flying dust on the distant horizon also proved that Hermione's guess was correct.

With Hermione thinking this, she planned to turn around first and say hello to Sarah at the Burrow to tell her that the hole in the barrier could be filled.

But who would have thought that at this moment, she first heard the roar of the wind behind her, and then she saw Luna swooping over on a broom and stopping steadily beside her.

"Don't rush to ask Sarah to close the barrier yet, there seems to be someone behind us..."

Luna, who came to Hermione's side, happily hugged the former's shoulders, seeming to miss Hermione very much after not seeing her for several days. However, while showing intimacy, her big silver-gray eyes still lingered.

Far to the east.

Hermione was naturally very happy to see her return, although it was not the right time for Luna to come back. At such a dangerous moment when the war was about to begin, Luna, who had never been good at fighting, would have been more uncomfortable to leave directly from the west.

Be more at ease.

Of course, Luna's ability is naturally very valuable, and Hermione's decision not to want her to come over at this time is purely out of her unique selfishness.

After hearing what Luna said, Hermione immediately asked:

"Is there anyone else? Who?"

"It's still a little far away, I'm not sure," Luna shook her head, and then said, "Maybe it's Delphi."

"Delphi? She's back?"

When Hermione heard this, she couldn't help but be startled - if Luna's perception was indeed correct, then it has to be said that the other party came back just in time.

"If it's really Delphi, then it doesn't matter."

Before she finished speaking, Hermione immediately turned around and gestured towards the Burrow. The next moment, she saw that the cracked gap in the alchemy barrier immediately began to close, and soon it returned to its original appearance.

.

After making this decision, Hermione turned around and said:

"Someone has to stay outside and fight! Originally, I only relied on Mr. Blois and Harry, but if there is another Delphi, then I will be more relieved."

After explaining this, Hermione continued to look at the group of living corpses running crazily from a distance, but then turned around and said:

"But... I didn't expect Delphi to come back so soon. Luna, do you know? She said she was going to London before she left. Now that I see her again so soon, I don't know what she is."

I can’t go yet.”

"Well, I know about this." Luna nodded, "I happened to sense her suddenly passing by near Weymouth, and I chased her at that time - she was so fast, I chased her for a long time without catching up.

Until she reached the outskirts of the southern suburbs of London before she could turn around and meet me."

After briefly telling the story of how she met Delphi, Luna said:

"It was not far from London at that time. When I left before nightfall, she said she was going to explore it early this morning. I think she should have already been there."

Hearing that Luna actually chased Delphi around London on the way, Hermione couldn't help but be startled, and then looked at her with some confusion and said:

"Then...you didn't go to London with her?"

"Huh?" Luna was obviously a little puzzled when she heard her question. "I wanted to go at that time, but Charlie and Mr. Akinbad were still waiting for me at that time. If I asked them to wait all night, they would

You'll definitely be worried... What's the matter, Hermione? What's going on in London? You look like you think I'm going to go with Delphi?"

"Shouldn't it?" Hermione became even more confused, "Delphi said that she seemed to think that Maka was in London, so although she didn't say it explicitly, I know that she actually went specifically to find Maka this time... You

have no idea?"

"Maka is in London?" Luna became more and more confused when she heard this, "Delphi...it seems like she never mentioned it?"

However, Hermione still didn't show relief when she heard that Delphi had not told Luna the truth. Because she had some idea that Delphi would conceal it like this - he was still at the Burrow that day.

There were already signs of this at the time.

Thinking of this, Hermione suddenly nodded slightly with understanding and said:

"So, Maka did not go to London. This was just Delphi's guess. But, what made her think that Maka was in London? I still haven't fully understood this matter.

"

"I don't know that," Luna shook her head. "I only know that I didn't seem to feel that Maka was in London at that time. If I have to say where he is... he should be in the north, not far from here.

far away."

"North?"

Hermione couldn't help but pursed her lips as she listened, a flash of regret flashing in her eyes.

But soon, she suppressed these useless thoughts as usual, and then immediately stretched out her hand to tug Luna's arm and said:

"The group of living corpses at the front are almost coming, we should get down!"

"oh."

Luna had no objection to Hermione's words and allowed the other party to take her arm and leave the top platform of the tower, heading towards the observation window below.

And when she followed Hermione downstairs through the trap door in the middle of the platform, she took one last look outside. At this glance, he saw Harry, whom he had not seen for several days, who was currently talking to Bloch.

Mr. Watt stood outside the alchemy barrier together. The Gryffindor sword in his hand passed through the light green barrier and was covered with a shining green glow.

"By the way... Except for Harry and Mr. Blois, no one else will be directly involved in the battle. Charlie and Mr. Akinbad are in the living room of the Burrow. When you come back, why don't you go see them first? Let

They feel relieved to see that you are back safe and sound."

On the steps, Hermione said to Luna as she walked down.
