harry potter book of crimes

"Ron, is Harry at your place? And Ginny is at home too?"

As soon as he opened the door, Ron saw Hermione appearing in front of him. He just subconsciously called her name, and was immediately covered by Hermione's voice.

"Oh, yes... they are all here," Ron waited for Hermione to finish, then nodded, "What's wrong? What... happened to you?"

In his memory, Hermione had always been such a hot-tempered person, but it was not too common to see such a serious Hermione. Unless... something bad happened to her again.

"Well, let me go in anyway!"

She forced Ron's upper body towards the living room, and then Hermione pushed his back and walked in, and finally closed the door smoothly.

"Hello, Mrs. Weasley! Sorry, I came without saying hello..."

As soon as she entered the house, she saw Ron's mother already standing at the door of the kitchen. When she saw Hermione coming in, Mrs. Weasley happily waved the wand in her hand - she was preparing snacks just now!

"You can come anytime! What I like most is that this home can be lively..."

After welcoming Hermione's arrival, she turned around and walked back to the kitchen. As she walked, she told Hermione to be more casual and just treat this place as her own home.

With such warm hospitality, most people would probably feel warm, and Hermione would certainly feel the same. Unfortunately, she was not really here as a guest today.

"Harry," seeing the guy sitting on the soft sofa with a large plate of pie in his hand, Hermione immediately waved her hand to him, "Put it down and listen to me -"

As she spoke, she suddenly lowered her voice, as if to avoid being heard by Mrs. Weasley.

"Listen, something very bad happened today... We need to find a place to talk."

"What's up?"

Ron asked out of habit, but received a glare from Hermione.

"Oh, okay! I understand," he said slightly depressed, "Then go to my room..."

After saying that, Ron stopped talking nonsense and walked directly to the stairs. When Harry saw this, he immediately stood up from the sofa, but he still held the plate of apple pie stacked several layers in his hand and refused to let go.

"I said, put it down!" Hermione frowned dissatisfied, "We don't have time to eat pie!"

"It's just because I saw you looking so anxious that I feel like I'm going to be hungry if I don't eat for a while!"

Although Harry mumbled like this, he still obeyed Hermione's wishes, put the plate back on the table in front of the sofa, and then trotted after her.

It was only when Ron opened his door that Harry stood at the door and thought for a moment:

"Hey, let me tell you... do you want to call Ginny too? She should be studying Quidditch tactics in her room right now!"

"Well, then go and call-" "No."

Hermione was just about to ask Harry to go find Ginny, but she heard Ron decisively reject the idea.

"Hermione, actually I have been thinking that if nothing terrible happened, you would not be so eager." He said, "I don't know if I am right?"

"Uh, yes." Hermione nodded slightly, confirming his guess.

After hearing Hermione's answer confirming his suspicion, Ron's expression became more serious.

He paused for a moment and then continued:

"Well, for the sake of Ginny's safety, I think we'd better not call her yet. Harry, you are her boyfriend now, don't you think that's the case?"

"I..." Harry couldn't help being stunned for a moment as he listened, and then hesitantly said, "Well... I think if I don't call her, she will be angry afterwards, right? But, um... it's safe,

What you said makes sense..."

After thinking about it but not getting an answer, Harry couldn't help but look at Hermione, as if he wanted to see what she had to say.

"Hermione, is this really dangerous?" Harry asked softly.

However, before Hermione could even think of how to answer, she heard Ginny's voice suddenly coming from the stairs below.

"You're right, if you hadn't told me, I would have been angry." She walked up as she spoke, and soon came to the three of them. "Even if things are really dangerous, it's the same."

"Ginny--"

Ron was about to say something to her, but unexpectedly she just ignored his brother's statement.

"Stop thinking of me as the little girl who was controlled by Voldemort. You have to remember that I am only one grade below you!" At this point, she pursed her thin lips, "Besides, I am also a member of R.A.

Member, I have been working hard!”

"Okay, we all know your hard work, really!" Hermione hurriedly put her arm around Ginny's shoulders, and then led her straight to Ron's room, "Come in! Ginny happened to mention it

R.A.—That’s what I was going to say!”

Ron could only express his helplessness towards this sister who had never listened to him. Of course, he also knew in his heart that at least he had the lowest status in this family.

Speaking of which, he couldn't help but miss the days when Banban was here - at least at that time, there was a bald-area mouse underneath him that shed all the year round, right?

Following Harry, Ron, the owner of this room, entered his bedroom last.

"Okay, I believe you are all confused about my hasty arrival, and you all want to know what 'dangerous things' happened... So, don't talk anymore, I will tell you what I secretly saw.

Tell you."

After giving vaccinations to the other three friends first, Hermione said in a deep voice:

"As you know, my family lives in the suburbs of London. And just now, I saw many unknown magical creatures suddenly appearing in the sky over central London..."

It turned out that Hermione had already gone to investigate secretly after making certain necessary preparations.

After all, if you want to make a correct judgment, you must conduct a real and effective investigation. Otherwise, how can she explain the situation to Harry and the others if she doesn't even know it clearly?

However, due to the large number of those monsters and their powerful abilities, Hermione, who was considered to be well-read, could not even determine the exact origin of the monsters.

Therefore, even though she had Maka's Immortal Hidden Potion to hide her figure, she only looked at it from a distance on the edge.

But even so, she had already witnessed the tragedy on several streets, and the sight of a large number of Muggles lying on the ground still made her quite frightened.

"...That's what I saw. It's not difficult to guess the specifics. I think it's the 'despicable Haierbo' who is doing evil. And about Maka... I think with his temperament, he must have thought of everything now.

Is there a way to end this horrific disaster?"

As far as the current situation is concerned, Hermione's deduction is almost identical with that of Kingsley and Lupin.

She was thinking that if even Maka's action still left London in such a miserable state, then the outcome would probably be unacceptable to most people.

This situation can be said to be unprecedentedly bad.

At this moment, Ron broke into a cold sweat after hearing Hermione's description. He couldn't help but wipe it on his forehead, with a slight hesitation on his expression.

"Hermione, it's not that I don't believe you...but this really makes people a little bit..."

In fact, Hermione can understand Ron's feelings.

To be honest, not long ago, when she witnessed the nightmare-like scene in London, she felt much more frightened than Ron did right now.

A scene as big as this can probably be compared to the several conspiracy wars that took place during the heyday of the first generation Dark Lord, Gellert Greenwald, right?

Not even Lord Voldemort, the second generation Dark Lord, has ever committed such a horrific act of storming into a Muggle capital and harvesting lives!

only……

"Ron, it's true."

Hermione seemed to be saying to Ron, but also seemed to be reconfirming this sensational fact to herself.

"In order to prevent my family from being implicated in this disaster, I have used the portkey to send them all abroad for vacation..." As she was speaking, she suddenly took a deep breath, "And I also personally

I cast a confusion spell on them to make them think I was still in school."

"Oh... have you used charms outside of school?" Harry's focus was always a little off-topic.

When Hermione heard this, she immediately shook her head.

"I think the Ministry of Magic has no time to pay attention to these small things, because if the situation in London does not improve in time, then this matter will quickly spread to the entire Europe... No, maybe the entire world! And by then...

…”

When Hermione said this, she did not add the word "magical world" to it. Obviously, the "whole world" she said included all Muggles and wizards.

And for a long time after these words passed, none of the four people present could say another word.

For these Hogwarts students, this topic was a bit too big, and they didn't know where to start for a while.

A few minutes later, Ginny, who was also silent, said:

"Hermione, when I mentioned R.A....do you have any good ideas?"

Seeing Ginny mention this again, Hermione's eyes suddenly brightened a little.

"I can't say it's a 'good idea,'" she said seriously. "Just listening to what I just said, you may not fully understand the power of that monster - to be honest, I'm not sure whether I should

Members of the R.A. are summoned."

As she spoke, Hermione's expression became more serious. Unknowingly, except for her voice echoing in the room, even everyone's breathing gradually faded away and became increasingly quiet.

At the end, Hermione said slowly:

"I'm worried that my decision will kill many of them..." (To be continued)
