harry potter book of crimes

"...Yes, that guy came from the sea. We had encountered it before when we were sailing on the sea on the Change. That guy was really powerful. After being targeted by it... I thought...

Steve probably won't even be able to escape. Harry, Hermione, please—"

When he heard Alexander say that he and Enns had met a demon, Harry no longer just tried to take him away from the dangerous area where the fighting was taking place, but turned his head and dragged him back to Hermione and others.

Then, Alexander told the story of his encounter with Enns as concisely as possible.

But at the end, when he subconsciously wanted to ask Harry and others in front of him to rush to rescue Enns, the battle that was still going on even as he spoke made him involuntarily stop talking.

There is no doubt that the huge black giant still struggling not far away is no easier to deal with than the sea demon he and Enns encountered, and may even be more terrifying. Even if it is forcibly trapped by multiple magic and rule powers,

Even though it was still alive, every move it made was still shaking the earth, and its roar was even more deafening.

While describing the situation at the seaside, Alexander could clearly feel the increasingly strong vibrations coming from under his feet. No one knew when the "trapped beast" that had been temporarily suppressed would explode with anger.

Get out of it.

Under such circumstances, it was obviously difficult for Alexander to easily say his request for help.

However, Hermione and others, who had learned from him that Enns was in danger, naturally had their own ideas and approaches. And unlike Alexander, who had not yet matured, Hermione, Harry and even Ron

, have formed the habit and ability of quick decision-making through continuous struggles and decisions in the past.

"Luna!"

Hermione patted Alexander's shoulder with her left hand that was not holding the staff, comforted him, and at the same time decisively turned her head to look at Luna not far away.

"You take Ginny and Hannah on another trip to the east to rearrange a new formation. We will buy you more time... It will be a matter of time before 'Wrath' escapes.

If you want to delay it longer, you may have to repeat the process just now!"

"oh."

Luna seemed to understand that the situation was urgent, so she responded quickly and said nothing more. On the other hand, after Hermione finished talking to her, she turned back to look at Harry and said:

"Harry, you heard me! We will try to hold off 'Angry' as much as possible and maintain the situation here - it will definitely not be long, so you only have... half an hour at most, and you are still 'Angry'

'If you're stupid enough to fall into the same trap again...can you do it in half an hour?"

"You have to do it even if you can't do it, right?"

Hermione didn't need to explain her decision, even if it was actually very risky and to a certain extent, it was like child's play. If it failed, the best case scenario would be for the devil to escape with "wrath".

As a result, the mission completely failed, and it would be even more difficult to find an opportunity to kill it.

As for the worst-case scenario...the ferocious and crazy behemoth in front of him has never been a good character. After breaking free from the restraints, no one can predict what kind of attack it will launch on Hermione and the others! This encirclement and suppression battle

This is a gambling battle on thin ice, not to mention that in this land of disaster, who is not ready to make sacrifices?

"Be careful, I hope we can see you again."

Hermione nodded at Harry, who responded immediately, and then the latter took Alexander's arm, got on the broomstick and left south without looking back.

"cover!"

Hermione shouted, and together with everyone else, they tried their best to attract the attention of the trapped Fury, creating the most precious opportunity for Harry and Alexander to get around each other.

…

To be able to resolutely choose to prioritize saving people under such circumstances must be somewhat unreasonable in purely rational thinking. But just now, neither Harry nor Hermione hesitated too much.

After a long time, we made a tacit decision.

This actually shows that in the hearts of all Hogwarts, the lives of their partners in life-and-death situations will ultimately outweigh the overall situation.

This kind of concept may be called "naive" in the eyes of some people who really care about the overall situation. But if you narrow your vision a little bit, when you become a member of their group, this kind of desperate attitude towards each other will

The spirit of support will definitely become the strongest and most powerful spiritual pillar when you encounter life danger.

Just like Alexander now, even if he just witnessed Harry and others' attitude towards Enns in distress, he felt a warm current pouring out from the bottom of his heart. He had experienced this sense of security a little bit with McGonagall and other professors.

I feel it, but no matter what, it has never been as clear as it is now.

"By the way! Alexander, didn't you meet anyone else on the way here?"

Just when he was secretly moved in his heart, Harry who was flying aside suddenly asked such a question, which immediately made him stunned for a moment.

"Others? Ah!"

Alexander was stunned, and then finally recalled some of the encounters that had been temporarily forgotten because of Enns' crisis and the demon's "wrath" siege of the battlefield.

"Yes... although they are not 'human', I did encounter... two black guys fighting on the way here. They looked very similar to demons, but they were much smaller, I'm not sure.

"He said, "Anyway, I didn't dare to stop and observe. I just flew over and ran away."

Except for the "Lust" at sea and the "Wrath" he just saw, Alexander has not directly encountered several other demons, so that he is not very clear. In fact, most demons are just larger than adults.

Just a little taller.

"Yeah?"

After hearing what he said, Harry nodded, but didn't ask any more questions - since Alexander had no more contact with the "Lord of the Living Corpses", in fact, even he himself

He still couldn't figure out the conjecture, so he naturally wouldn't want to talk to the other party.

But, if that was indeed Maka, what reaction and action would he take after noticing Alexander passing by?

If it were the Maka of the past, Harry would of course be very confident that the other party would immediately use wisdom beyond ordinary people to deduce that Enns was in danger in the south, and immediately set out to rescue - just like

He made the same decision as Hermione.

But now...even Harry is not sure.
