harry potter book of crimes

Not long after returning to London, Harry began to have a high fever... To be honest, if this was the price that had to be paid to kill a demon, Harry would rather the temperature on his forehead be a few degrees higher.

Therefore, although Harry was lying on the bed in a state of being sometimes awake and sometimes confused, his mood did not seem to be as bad as he imagined.

However, in another room separated by only one wall from the one he lived in, Ron, who could only lie on the bed and could do nothing, was filled with complicated sighs.

"Forget it...it's just a change from 'waste' to 'legless waste'. Since they are all waste, what's the difference if they have legs or not?"

Half-leaning on the soft pillow, Ron tilted his face and looked out the window at the crystal clear world of ice. After subconsciously reaching out and touching the space below his thighs, Ron sighed with self-deprecation.

Because the leg was so completely broken, even in the magical world, it is difficult to regenerate it by ordinary means.

Of course, what kept him from despairing even after losing his legs, and even being able to laugh at himself while lying in bed like this, was definitely not the "trash" argument he said.

Over the past few days, Ron has witnessed countless cruel scenes with everyone. Compared with those who died in this disaster, he is still alive. This is already a blessing.

It's a matter of fact. And if he is so "lucky", what reason does he have to call himself "unfortunate"?

"...Yeah! I'm already very lucky...it's just useless, that's all."

Just as Ron was looking out the window and muttering to himself, suddenly, there was a knock on the door from the other side.

“Tuk-tuk-tuk.”

Then, without waiting for Ron to respond, the door opened with a creak, and a series of familiar footsteps extended from outside the door to the bedside.

"Ron, you're awake."

"Well," Ron scratched his head and turned his head slightly, forcing out a half-hearted smile, "Ginny...how is Harry?"

"He's still having a fever, but according to Delphi, it shouldn't be anything. It's just some sequelae of excessive use of mental power. I just gave him some water and he's asleep again, so... I came over to take a look.

Look at you."

"I'm fine too, don't worry too much!" Ron smiled at his sister again, patted the broken leg carelessly and said, "Look! It's healing very well, and it doesn't hurt anymore... I heard from Hermione, Hornsea

Miss Mu has also agreed to make me a pair of alchemical prosthetic legs - maybe even engraved with rune arrays on the legs! I have to run faster next time to avoid breaking my arms or something.

...Oh, speaking of which, if my arms were made using alchemy, I would become more powerful, right?"

He just talked incessantly, as if he was comforting Ginny, but also seemed to be comforting himself. Beside the hospital bed, Ginny sat down on the chair beside the bed - she did not try to interrupt.

Ron just listened quietly, and when his eyes occasionally glanced at the opponent's broken legs, a trace of sadness appeared in his eyes.

In fact, Ginny's situation is not very different from Ron's. Today, when she saw Harry in desperate situation on the battlefield, she found that she could hardly help him and could only be taken away from the center of the battle by Neville.

At that moment, she was undoubtedly in great pain.

So... although she couldn't fully understand Ron's inner pain, she could somewhat understand it.

After a while, Ron, who had not fully recovered from his injuries, probably talked too much, and the fatigue took over his body again. As he talked, he gradually dozed off again.

After Ginny stared at his still frowning face for a while, she took out her wand and shook it gently, then laid him flat on the bed and covered him with the quilt.

"Have a good rest and I'll see you again during dinner time."

After saying something softly, she stood up from the chair and quietly exited the room.

…

At the other end of the corridor, a little further away from Harry and Ron's rooms, was a small sitting room that was mostly vacant, both before and after the disaster - which was obviously not a big deal in the former Buckingham Palace.

things.

However, in the past two days, it has rarely been of any use.

"Crack."

Hermione reached out and turned the handle, pushed the door and walked in, then closed the door again. Then she saw that many people including Delphi were in the living room, divided into several places or sitting.

Or stand.

"Hermione, did 'he' say something?"

Seeing Hermione come in, Neville, who was sitting on the sofa with Hannah, immediately stood up and asked.

"At least they definitely didn't say what we wanted to hear most." Hermione pursed her lips, walked over and sat down on the sofa opposite them, and said, "The most important thing is that Harry had a high fever, so the subsequent demons

The execution plan has been stopped for the time being...that's all. As for the rest...he really seems to want us to accept the living zombies."

After returning to the palace, others hurriedly treated and settled the two wounded people, Harry and Ron. There were two wizards, Safina and Hannah, who were good at healing, and Sarah used alchemy to

With help from the side, the problem is not that big. As for the "Lord of the Living Corpses", he had sent some living corpses to help before, but after finishing his work, he called Hermione over.

He said he wanted to discuss the next arrangements.

Originally, most of the others wanted to follow, but after thinking about it, Hermione decided to go to see him alone - probably deep down in her heart, she had never given up, and had always been looking forward to getting something from him.

explain.

Yes, even some specious reminders are good.

It's a pity that now it seems that even when the two people meet alone, the "Lord of the Living Corpses" has no intention of revealing anything.

"Let us accept the living zombie clan... What good will this do to him?" Safina curled her lips and frowned slightly, "Coupled with the action of killing demons... Humph, it's inexplicable!"

Although her statement is full of personal bias, it also points directly to the root of the problem. Not only does it make it difficult for people to make mistakes, but it also makes people think deeply.

In the past few days, everyone has been pondering the pros and cons, trying to find some possible clues. However, until Hermione had just had a conversation with the other party, everyone was still confused.

It is really frustrating to know that the other party must have his own plans, or even be restrained and driven by some complicated reasons, but still cannot see through the mystery behind him.
