harry potter book of crimes

The world has never revolved around one person. Everyone has their own life. While Maca was busy with one thing or another, the Black house was also passing by day by day.

Recently, as the days have gradually become dull, the children who stayed here have slowly regained some sense of being alive. Although it is only occasionally, occasionally, the childish and innocent laughter finally sounds here.

But the most noteworthy one is probably the younger sister Leni among the werewolf sisters.

She is not very old, and she usually likes to be noisy. At first, when these children who were about the same age as her came to the old Blake house, she thought that she was about to have a large number of companions who could make mischief together.

. But when she found out that those who came here were actually a group of lifeless children, she was undoubtedly very depressed.

But after a period of time, something surprising happened to Lupine and the others - Leni somehow pried open the locked hearts of several children. Although those children still didn't speak much when they were with her,

But at least they were willing to run around the house with Leni.

And now, even Lupine, who has been trying to guide the children out of the shadows, has to admit that Leni is really responsible for the fact that these little guys can gradually become more cheerful.

In fact, today Leni has simply become the king of children in the old Black house. Except for the little girl named Isla who only wants to stay with Helen Schon, all the other children follow her all day long.

Leni ran away from home, and sometimes she could even go for a short walk on the street outside.

"If this continues, Hogwarts may have a group of special new students in the coming year. When they make more friends in school, they may be able to live their own lives like other children."

In the reception room on the first floor, Lupine was reading the newspaper leisurely and talking happily. Opposite him, Sirius, who was sitting on the other side of the long table, also nodded and seemed to be in a good mood.

They finally had nothing to do in the past two days. Ever since they followed Maka to the magic world of Iran, they would go out for a run every day after coming back to keep abreast of some situations in the UK.

In fact, these two people are the kind of guys who can't take any time off, especially Sirius. It would be more uncomfortable for him to sit around all day than to kill him.

It's the same today. After the children come back from playing with Leni, it's time for them to go out again to find out information.

The seat at the long table closest to the door basically always belongs to Lena.

Due to her low-key and introverted character, even in the old Black house, which was based on cordiality and harmony, she always maintained a certain distance from everyone. Coupled with her personal preference for cooking, Weasley

When the lady was away, she prepared three meals and refreshments for everyone.

To be honest, if Sirius, the owner of the mansion, didn't always seem to be carefree, Lena's existence would be almost the same as that of a servant here. Of course, on this point, no one would think so.

However, even Lupine and the others want to be polite to Lena from time to time, trying to remind Lena that everyone is equal here. But if Lena immediately becomes more polite than them, then it is undoubtedly putting the cart before the horse.

So, in desperation, the others had no choice but to follow Lena's lead.

For example, in this seat now, Lena will always sit in the corner, and sometimes she will even stand directly. And when Lupine and Sirius are talking, she will never participate, let alone

Interjected casually.

When it comes to people who don’t know how to get along, Lena will definitely be ranked number one by everyone.

But today, at this moment, when Lupine and Sirius were casually discussing where to go to get information first in the afternoon, Lena's sudden words suddenly shocked the two of them.

Because it was so sudden, they didn't quite hear what Lena said, so they just looked at it in surprise.

"What?"

Sirius put his feet down from the chair next to him, and Lupine also subconsciously put down the "Daily Prophet" in his hand. The two of them looked at Lena who suddenly stood up.

"It's Leni... Leni is in danger."

Lena's expression was almost the same as usual, but her brows were slightly frowned. But her hands tightly clasped in front of her body clearly revealed her inner anxiety.

"Where? Can you feel it?" Sirius asked immediately.

"Here..." Lena pursed her lips, then suddenly turned around and walked towards the door, "I can't tell the exact location, but Lena wanted to transform just now... Although it probably didn't succeed, I did feel it. Please follow me.

Come, I know the direction..."

Logically speaking, Leni would not run far away with those children. And in this community, there are alien Acromantulas wandering around and patrolling, so no matter what, nothing should happen.

However, when Lupine and Sirius followed Lena across two blocks, they understood that Leni had run far away for some reason today.

"The two of us have been out exploring the situation every day for the past two days, but we didn't find that someone had touched the area near the old house. This is really a huge irony."

While hurrying on his way, Sirius said something angrily.

So the answer is already obvious. These two senior members of the Order of the Phoenix who have experienced two Death Eater battles are completely incomparable to each other in terms of tracking and searching. It is even very possible that those guys who wander here are not able to compete with each other at all.

It was brought here by them accidentally.

Since Lena could not sense the specific location where Leni was trying to transform, the three of them had to correct their direction while running on their legs.

Regardless of the specific strength of the three of them, at least based on their running speed and endurance, Lena, who is a born werewolf, is obviously much stronger. When Lupine and Sirius were both breathing heavily, Lena was still able to hold on under pressure.

While feeling anxious in her heart, she restrained her speed a little to prevent the two of them from chasing her.

"This way——"

After passing another alley and running along a somewhat deserted street for a while, Lena suddenly turned around and kicked open the iron door of a large warehouse.

This place used to be an ingredient storage warehouse for a light industrial factory. Of course, it was completely empty after it was abandoned in the early years. Now when Lena and the three of them stepped into this place, they saw that except for some cold shelves, there was nothing left here.

There are visible plastic baskets and transparent packaging bags scattered on the ground.

At this moment, the warehouse door was kicked open by Lena, and the wind from the street outside suddenly rushed into the rather empty warehouse, causing the packaging bags on the ground to fly in all directions.

"There are signs of a fight there—"

Lupine looked deeper and soon found several shelves that had fallen to the ground.

The shelves here are very large, and they obviously needed to stack heavy goods when they were used in the past, so the steel shelves are quite strong and hard. However, the shelves that have fallen down are now all deformed, which is obvious.

It has withstood a considerable degree of huge force.

The three of them hurried over to check, and then Sirius immediately discovered other clues.

"Look at these two sides," he pointed to the large windows on the left and right sides. "The windows on both sides are broken... Lena, you noticed that the place where Leni tried to transform is indeed right here, right?"

Lena nodded quickly after hearing this.

"Well, she probably rushed into the warehouse through a window on one side and tried to transform while avoiding someone. But the transformation failed, and the enemy followed her in, so she immediately escaped through the window on the other side.

Out..." Sirius said, and then looked at the broken glass on the ground, and then continued, "It went out from here, let's continue chasing!"

Sirius's guess was very reasonable. Lena immediately agreed and ran to the window on the right first. But at this moment, Lupine waved his hand quickly.

"You guys chase first, I'll look in the opposite direction -" he said, "Leni is obviously alone, so she must have hidden the children somewhere, and then acted alone to distract them.

of."

In this case, Lena will definitely prioritize ensuring the safety of her sister, but Lupine must also take responsibility for those children. In fact, half of his judgment can only be said to be guesswork.

That's all, but the possibility of the other half is the development he least wants to see.

"Well, I leave it to you, but you have to be careful yourself!"

While Sirius was talking, Lena had already jumped out of the broken window. If it weren't for the limitations of the werewolf itself, even with innate blood, it would be difficult to transform during the day, she would have left the two of them behind.

He ran to save people.

But she also knew very well that under the blue sky and white clouds, her fighting power was definitely not as good as the wizard holding a wand and casting spells. To save her sister, she had to rely on the power of others.

The fact that the children were attacked was definitely not a small matter, not to mention that those children were originally rescued by Maka. While Lupine was running to the other window, he was also thinking in his mind, waiting for the children to be found.

After that, we have to go back to Black Mansion immediately to send a letter to Hogwarts.

Suddenly, a loud noise caused Lupine, who had just jumped out of the window, to turn his head subconsciously. He thought about it, and then he couldn't help but feel a little reassured. Judging from the distance, Lena and Sirius shouldn't have run that far yet, so maybe they are.

There was some commotion on Leni's side.

At least, it seems that we can first identify a person who is still alive - even if that person may be like him, a kind of alien who looks like a normal person on the surface, but in fact cannot be called a "human".

Putting aside the complicated emotions in his mind, Lu Ping sped up his running speed while observing his surroundings carefully.
