harry potter book of crimes

To a certain extent, Hermione at this time has finally begun to understand the uneasiness that forced the three major families to end prematurely. Because in the face of disaster, the most terrifying thing is often not the strength of the enemy.

, but the sneak attack and betrayal from behind.

Just like this moment, if what John said is true, then the family behind him, that is, the Stewart family in the United States, may have really planned it.

And now, no one knows what the "Masonry Workshop" led by the Stewart family is planning to do next in Europe today?

No one even knows whether Ilvermorny Magic School, which has been closely related to the "Masonry Workshop" since ancient times... and even the Magical Congress of the United States, now hold the same attitude towards this disastrous war that happened across the ocean.

with the same dangerous thoughts.

In this situation, no matter what you do, you will feel uneasy.

"But after all, I haven't really confirmed 'their' purpose before, so all these are just my simple speculations about the situation I saw. Therefore, before I could meet Miss Granger, I

We have always maintained a very cautious attitude towards the information we obtained and did not let anyone know about it... You should understand, especially those three families, if they were to know about this matter prematurely, it would definitely be a disservice to the young lady.

Taking control of the overall situation has a huge negative impact..."

Perhaps during this dispatch, John had developed a great distrust of his family, so much so that when he had nowhere to go, he subconsciously had feelings for people like Hermione who had helped and tolerated him in desperate situations.

A sense of companionship.

Apart from anything else, at least when he encounters danger in this disaster land, the one he is most willing to trust is Hermione and his team. Because he knows that at least these people will not take advantage of him or hold anything against him for no reason.

hostility.

"...Ah! Thank you."

Hermione, who was still immersed in uneasy thoughts, was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses after hearing John's words. Then she nodded towards him and expressed her gratitude to him for being so willing to consider herself.

This John Stewart is indeed the elite of the American masonry workshop, and the concerns he expressed from Hermione's perspective do exist.

Although the three major families are now committed to her leadership and command because of their own decisions, it is obviously not an unreserved obedience. Once something unexpected happens, their thoughts and judgments will be reconsidered.

If something changes, who can guarantee that they will not refuse to obey orders or even act without authorization?

Especially when powerful combat forces such as Harry and Maka, who can directly intimidate them, are not here...

Just now, John insisted on not disclosing any intelligence information when Yegor was present. Now it seems that it is extremely correct.

"Professor Lupin," Hermione thought for a moment and finally couldn't help but said, "I'm starting to wonder if the time to 'sneak behind enemy lines' is now!"

However, Lupine, who was not far away, also had a serious look on his face, but after hearing what Hermione said, he still shook his head very decisively.

"It's too late even to hesitate!" Lupine said, "I don't know if those guys will discover our actions during this period and take advantage of it, but we definitely can't make Harry and the others give up their plan halfway and withdraw.

Here we come. Harry and Maka are risking their lives to carry out their mission. Once we set off, there will be no turning back... You should know this better than me."

"Yes."

Hermione responded, pursed her lips, let out a breath, and cheered up again:

"I understand! In short, the most important thing now is to find out the whereabouts and purpose of the second team sent by the 'Mason's Workshop' that is suspected to be composed of the Obscurials, and then start from there to destroy the American magic.

The situation in the world should also be understood... Of course, it is best to solve both things at the same time!"

"This is not easy," John said with a worried look on his face. "At least the manpower of those three companies cannot be used on these two matters. And you know, as for 'investigating the American wizarding world', they

It just so happens that he is also the most suitable manpower around us."

But this time, Hermione quickly focused her eyes and said:

"No, don't forget that besides these three of the four major families in Europe, there is another one!"

…

At this moment, Willie, who was surrounded by enemies together with Maka and others, naturally didn't know that Hermione in Hogsmeade had already made plans to ask her father to come back.

Of course, even if she knew, she wouldn't say anything about it.

She would not dissuade Hermione from such an idea, and even if Hermione wanted her to help go home and try to persuade her father, she would probably not refuse.

But Weili knew very well that after finally making up his mind to entrust the entire family to her, her father would definitely not interfere easily again.

Especially when Willie opens her mouth to ask for help, Mr. Blois, who used to dote on his daughter, may now refuse even more firmly.

Therefore, even if Willy, the daughter of the other party, is still in Hogsmeade, it will be useless to Hermione at this time, and it may even be counterproductive to her purpose.

So fortunately, at this moment, Willie, Maka, Harry and others were soaked in water...

Although the lake near Hogwarts Castle only freezes in late winter, its water is still bitingly cold even in seasons other than winter. Now, after losing the sunshine for a long time, the lake is still freezing.

It was so cold that not even the magic spell could completely eliminate the discomfort it caused.

But at least, Harry's previous conjecture was somewhat correct - although there are still living corpses in this lake, there are far fewer than on the ground!

"Sarah, I think you can stay here and notify Hogsmeade when we start taking action."

Harry, who had just eliminated the last nearby enemy, turned around and swam back. After approaching Sarah, he used the air ball formed by maximizing the Bubble Charm to say this to her.

But Sarah shook her head to express her refusal. She pointed at Maka beside her, indicating that she wanted to follow Maka.

For the entire plan, this was obviously not a relatively secure method of action. Harry hesitated and turned to look at Maka. But after that, he still didn't say anything, just nodded and gave up continuing to persuade.

Sarah.

But no matter what, after this, the most critical and also the most dangerous action is about to begin!
