harry potter book of crimes

Will there still be Hogsmeade at the other end of the tracks?

have no idea.

So if it wasn't Hogsmeade, where would it take them?

Still don't know.

"Actually, the only thing that is certain now is that what is waiting for us ahead will definitely not be something beautiful."

In a compartment near the front of the train, Hermione and the few friends she truly trusted were crowded into the same compartment. While talking, they all tilted their heads, letting their sights be distracted by the scenery along the way outside the window.

Pull and pull.

The speed of the train is very fast...at least it must be much faster than the speed used to pick up Hogwarts teachers and students during school holidays.

The carriage vibrated from time to time and seemed a little bumpy.

"Then Hermione...since you know, why are you so eager to..."

Hannah didn't say all the rest of the words, but these alone were enough for her to clearly express her inner worries.

Obviously, this is actually a common concern of most of the friends in the box.

But Hermione's expression remained calm, or at least she had put aside her previous impulses and calmed down again during the time she was sitting here to rest.

"Yes," she said with her face still looking sideways out of the window, but she took a deep breath, "I admit that when I saw that ticket, my mentality was a little affected... No, in fact

, probably from the time I set foot on this land again, my emotions have been uncontrollably fluctuating..."

"I can't blame you."

Upon hearing this, Ron, who was sitting diagonally opposite, said abruptly:

"Whether it was a long time ago or the days before, this place means too much to us. If we can remain indifferent under such circumstances, that is the most terrifying thing! Speaking of which,

I was in a bad mood when I was in London before... I think everyone is the same, right?"

At the end of the sentence, Ron looked around, and most of the people who felt his gaze nodded along with him. Only a few people like Harry and Willie did not make any move.

Ron looked at his good buddy, but didn't say anything else. He just sighed helplessly to himself.

Since experiencing the "Buckingham Palace Incident", his heart as a good brother with whom he has always talked about everything has changed again. And compared to the earlier time when he wanted to obtain the Sword of Gryffindor,

It is hard to tell from the surface whether this change is good or bad.

But in terms of combat strength alone, Harry has definitely become stronger now, and he is dedicated to ending this terrible disaster. If it is just to pursue a better future, there is no doubt that this calm man is now

Harry, who is somewhat cold and determined to the point of being stubborn, can bring a sense of reliability and peace of mind to everyone.

However, it must be said that at least Ron still hopes that his good buddy can return to the person he used to be, sometimes impulsive and sometimes calm, and most importantly, more straightforward, friendly and laughing.

It's a pity that his good brother didn't see his sigh at this moment. He still just held the Gryffindor sword and sat in the corner of the box closest to the aisle, lowering his head slightly and silently wiping the sword body and blade.

Reflecting the cold light.

And during the short time when Ron was distracted, Hermione, who was sitting by the window with her head tilted, said something else. Her words were mostly about preparations for battle.

, and at the end, we returned to the original topic.

"In short, no matter whether this decision is right or wrong, what we have to do next is to 'face it calmly'." She said this, and then paused before turning to, "What's more, in fact,

I don't entirely think that the decision I made impulsively before was definitely wrong - we must pursue the clue of 'ticket', and facing this important task full of unknowns and dangers

, rather than leaving it to others, it would be better to leave it to us, the so-called elite combatants, right?"

"Indeed...it's true." Hannah and others who were very worried just now heard this, thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

"so."

Hermione pursed her lips, finally looked away from the window, looked at everyone in the box and said:

"Don't worry, don't be afraid, just do whatever you want. Our course of action has not changed at all. Stay vigilant and wait for new changes!"

…

While Hermione and others were sitting around and talking in the box next door, Maka, who was only sitting here with a few people from the three major families, could naturally hear their conversation.

After all, it was obvious that Hermione's words were not only addressed to her friends, but they were probably also indirectly appeasing these "collaborators" on Maka's side.

And the fact that she didn't put a silencing spell on the four walls of the box was the biggest proof.

Of course, the words of Hermione and others next door did not trigger a discussion among the people opposite Maka - knowing that the sound insulation between the boxes was not good, it was naturally impossible for these usually cautious guys to talk casually! Not to mention,

The person sitting opposite them now is Maka.

On the other hand, Maka herself, after listening to the conversation between Hermione and the others next door, suddenly frowned slightly. This made the three people sitting opposite not sure, but they couldn't help but feel their hearts beating secretly.

Sarah, who had been following him, was now sitting next to him. Although she did not look at Maka's face, she seemed to be aware of the other person's emotions, and then suddenly opened her lips slightly and whispered:

"Do you want me to remind you?"

After Maka heard this, she thought about it and nodded.

The next moment, the three people on the opposite side saw the girl next to him put her hands on the ground with both feet, then dragged the half-finished doll out of the unclosed door of the box, turned around and headed forward.

Soon, Sarah's fragile yet uniquely calm voice came through through the compartment wall.

"Hermione, since you have already noticed it, why did you subconsciously ignore it?"

"Sarah?" Ginny's voice followed, "Uh, what do you mean?"

Then, after just a brief pause, Hermione suddenly said before Sarah could speak again: "Are you saying that our emotional changes... are actually problematic? It's not just what Ron said.

So, is it just the influence of experience and memories?"

And at this moment, Harry, who had not nodded along with everyone just now, suddenly interjected:

"My mood didn't change...but I didn't feel any impact."

His voice was slightly hoarse, but still clear and firm.
