harry potter book of crimes

"Luna? Didn't you just agree with my plan? Why now...and why do you and I stay? You should know that in order to defeat a large number of enemies with the lowest loss,

To advance deeper into the group, my gravity rules are almost indispensable..."

"Because we have more important tasks."

"A more important task? What task?"

"Secret passages!"

Facing Luna, who stood at the top of the steps after coming out of the door, Hermione's brows wrinkled slightly, and a pair of eyes flashed with deep doubts.

Although it could be seen that Luna looked at her very seriously at this time, she still didn't understand why Luna said that.

"Secret passage?" Hermione frowned and looked at Luna on the steps with a puzzled expression. "Didn't we check all the secret passages one by one on the first day we retaken this place? They all were.

They were completely buried and blocked—even the reason that caused them to dislocate and collapse together, haven't we already guessed it? That must be the consequence of the earlier meteorite crash... So far, no matter with Hogwart,

How many secret passages are connected to the castle? They must have all collapsed."

However, after hearing what Hermione said, Luna still shook her head.

"And," she said seriously, "there's another one - have you forgotten? Hermione, there is a secret passage that doesn't always exist, it only exists when we need it!

"

"You mean..."

After Luna mentioned this, Hermione realized which secret passage Luna was talking about.

"You mean... the one that leads into the Hog's Head?"

As she spoke, she subconsciously looked up at the newly built temporary command post behind Luna.

It's a pity that because its original owner didn't care what it would look like now, the dirty old bar that was so familiar to it has completely ceased to exist.

So... is it possible that the original entrance to the secret passage still appears now?

…

"That secret passage... may indeed still be there, but are you sure you want to reopen it? Aren't you all convinced that the school castle has become the enemy's base camp? Dive into the enemy through the secret passage.

The nature of the territory is completely different from that of entering from the outside!"

Aberforth, who was specially sent by Hermione to retrieve him from the battlefield ahead, couldn't help but frown after hearing Hermione's inquiry.

But it is true that among the many secret passages in Hogwarts Castle, this one is almost impossible to be damaged, because the place it leads to is the Room of Requirement in the castle.

"Aberforth," Hermione pursed her lips and said, "I just want to ask about the possibility first. After all, if it can still be opened, then even if we don't touch it, no one can guarantee that it will not be opened.

Discovered and exploited by the enemy."

"Okay! If you insist." Seeing Hermione like this, Aberforth frowned and said, "Then... yes, I remember Albus mentioned the room at the other end of the secret passage.

The magic of the castle is very special. Even if the castle has been destroyed once, as long as the reconstruction specifications have not changed much, it will probably still exist. And if you want to try to see if it is still there, you only need a magical portrait that is willing to cooperate.

…”

Having said this, he stood up from his chair, looked at Hermione and Luna one more time, then turned around and walked straight to the door.

"You guys wait here, I'll be back in a moment."

Watching Aberforth leave in a hurry, Hermione sat there in silence for a few seconds, and then turned to look at Luna. Luna, who sensed this, also turned her head and looked at her for a moment.

Then, Hermione thought about it and said hesitantly: "Luna, did Maka tell you about this?"

As expected, Luna nodded quickly after hearing this.

"Yes!" Luna, who couldn't lie and had never thought about lying, replied bluntly, "But Maka didn't say that you and I would go to this secret passage. When we rested last night, he just said casually

Maybe this secret passage is still open, so let me find an opportunity to remind you to pay attention to this matter to ensure safety. But..."

Halfway through, she paused and then continued:

"But Maka also said that after hearing the news, Hermione, you would probably be unwilling to let go of this good opportunity to investigate the enemy's situation. Therefore, if you have to go, he suggested that it is best for the two of us to go.

"

"What's the reason?" Hermione asked.

"My empathy rule ability is suitable for early warning, and your gravity rule allows us to prevent it from being destroyed by the enemy and collapsing when we encounter situations where we need to retreat from the secret passage." Luna said, "But more importantly, it must be certain

We also need to have a strong enough combat force to attack Hogwarts Castle from the front at the same time, attracting the enemy's attention for infiltrators in the secret passage."

Hermione thought it was a bit far-fetched when she heard the first sentence, but after hearing it, she no longer felt so.

"So, Maka expected last night that I would change the rhythm of the attack and activate the backup plan just now?" She was stunned, and then shook her head, "Forget it... So that means, he plans to fight with Ha

Are you going to attack Hogwarts Castle from the front with Lee? Is it just a forceful attack instead of a sheep attack?"

"And Neville and Safina!" Luna added.

Since it is difficult to estimate the actual strength of the witch named "Kern" based on the current intelligence, no matter whether it is a real attack or the sheep attack currently being considered, no matter how much combat power is allocated in frontal combat,

It’s not an exaggeration.

Therefore, candidates who infiltrate Hogwarts through the secret passage can only choose those with relatively inferior combat abilities.

Obviously, under the current group of top combatants such as Maka and Harry, Hermione and Luna, who have also mastered regular magic to a certain extent, can also work together to lay out powerful rune patterns.

, in fact, he is considered a wizard with amazing magical abilities.

Maka had obviously never underestimated them. As long as the two of them were together and had time to make preparations, even Harry might be defeated.

"Kacha——"

Hermione was silently thinking about the feasibility of this sheep attack and infiltration plan, when suddenly the door was opened again, and Aberforth, who had just gone out not long ago, had returned carrying a large old-fashioned suitcase.

"Peng!"

I saw Aberforth put his suitcase on the table very roughly, looked at the two people in the room and said: "You are all people who can think about the pros and cons of things independently, so I won't do it anymore."

What nonsense - now we only need to add another wall in the original position, and then hang the painting again, and test whether the secret passage can be opened, which can be done at any time."

Finally, he slapped the box hard, causing a cloud of dust to fly in all directions.

"Now, you just need to tell me, when are you going to start doing this stupid, life-threatening thing?"
