harry potter book of crimes

In fact, even Ron himself found it a bit ridiculous when he later talked about the reason why he fainted in the tent. Because the reason why he fainted had nothing to do with the demon "arrogance" that had little to do with bewitching him.

, but more often due to excessive blood loss.

That's right, before, in order to cheer himself up and prevent himself from falling into the temptation of "arrogance", he stabbed his own thigh with a knife, and at one point, all the flesh on his leg was gone.

But later on, "Arrogance" had actually given up on him as a guy who had everything, and the reason for his dizziness was gradually replaced by a large amount of blood loss.

It was actually quite tragic to say this. Later, Hermione and the others were very moved by his determination. But when they thought that he was stabbed and fainted by himself in the end, apart from the initial respect,

Naturally, there was only a hint of laughter and laughter left.

However, perhaps it was precisely because of this seemingly ridiculous, but particularly appropriate, coma period that Ron "unintentionally" opened up a new path for everyone amidst the puzzling fog at the time.

path of.

This path may not necessarily be correct, but at least it does take another practical step for Hermione and her party, which makes their journey increasingly cramped.

…

"Wow--"

Among the ruins of the already dilapidated stronghold, a small tent stood in the messy camp area. Suddenly, the curtain of the tent was opened from the inside, and it looked a little light and soft.

The figure walked out from inside.

That was obviously Mr. Ron Weasley who survived the ravages of zombies and demons.

"nobody?"

The rain outside had stopped at some point, and the ground became a little muddy. He took two futile steps and felt that the soles of his shoes were sticky. It took more effort than usual to just lift his feet.

And just as he said, the surrounding rune towers are still there, but there seems to be no one in the stronghold.

The neighborhood is quiet and desolate as far as the eye can see.

Ron stood there and sighed feebly, then thought to himself and murmured:

"...Southeast. Yes, the retreat route is southeast. The worst-case scenario is just to keep going all the way to the beach, and someone will definitely respond."

After confirming this, he touched the rune arm shield on his forearm, and then walked straight forward step by step in the direction where Hermione and the others retreated.

Only when passing near the East Tower, he took a slight detour and decided to go up to the tower to observe the surrounding situation.

"Well, by the way, I need to find a broom. If it can fly, it will be safer -"

Ron muttered to himself as he climbed up the tower, went to the lookout and took a look outside. But when he looked at it, what he saw made his breath stagnate, and he couldn't even speak.

over.

Because he suddenly discovered that there were two figures sitting and standing on the desolate slope not far outside. And when he looked out and saw the two figures, the other figures turned towards him at the same time.

Looking over here.

"thump."

After Ron was stunned for a moment, he subconsciously shrank down behind the window sill, and because his feet were weak, he immediately sat down on the floor.

"They saw me... Unless they are blind, those two guys must have seen me!"

He muttered secretly in his heart, but couldn't help but recall the appearance of the two figures he just saw. He didn't recognize the big man standing among them, but he remembered the other sitting guy.

.

That one was undoubtedly the high-level zombie who had fought with "Arrogance" before he fell into coma - the one who controlled the airflow and triggered the black storm!

Although the other party has fought against demons in front of everyone, it does not mean that the other party is not hostile to humans. You know, they are all living corpses! Not only are they not companions with humans, but they have always been

They are enemies, and there are countless people who died in their hands and then became their kind.

"Oops... we need to find a broom as soon as possible. Even if we can't fly it, we can at least drag it on for a while, right?"

Always traveling in dangerous situations with Hermione and Harry, Ron, no matter how bad he was, had already developed some instinctive reactions when facing danger. Those thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning.

But his body has already started to move.

Even though he was still feeling unwell, when faced with life-threatening danger, a person's potential is still there. He dragged his feeble body, held on to the wall and hurriedly ran down the stairs, returning to the first floor of the tower.

.

He still remembered that there should be some broomsticks stored in the storage room built below. At least they didn't take them all away before everyone evacuated. He might be able to find one for himself.

However, although Hermione's retreat was indeed a bit hasty, the evacuation process had been rehearsed in advance. In addition, most of the wizards who could come here had considerable psychological quality, and they still maintained their attitude when faced with the situation of the stronghold being breached.

With the minimum order.

When Ron rushed to the storage room and took a look, he found that except for some ordinary wartime supplies, nothing related to the retreat was left inside.

"It's really terrible! When we were making the plan, Hermione should have been reminded of the possibility of survivors remaining after the stronghold was breached!"

He muttered in frustration, but did not stop. As soon as he found that there was nothing he needed in the storage room, he immediately turned around and ran out of the east tower, and then ran straight to the south side.

It's a pity that his speed can't be increased.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a tall figure fell from the sky and landed heavily in front of him, blocking his way.

This guy probably jumped over directly. When he landed on the ground, the powerful impact splashed up a lot of mud, water and gravel. Ron was not only covered in mud, but also had pain on his forehead. He was obviously hit by the stones.

But compared to this trivial amount of dirt and pain, the crisis in front of him clearly worried Ron more.

"It's over."

Thinking like this, his hand subconsciously touched the rune arm shield on his arm, but soon he put that hand down again.

Based on the strength of the high-level living zombie who can fight against demons, this thing is actually not very useful. At least it is almost impossible to defeat that guy. And the big guy in front of him is two or three heads taller than him.

He's...he's a little hard to say, but he probably won't be much worse than that guy, right?

No matter how he thought about it, Ron felt that his probability of successfully escaping was infinitely close to zero.

"Dead."
