harry potter book of crimes

In just the blink of an eye, a faint smell of gunpowder smoke filled the streets.

Harry and Hermione stood behind the church door, silently listening to the gunshots that rang out one after another outside, and looked at each other in silence for a long time.

The Muggle army finally joined in, but their targets may not just be those monsters.

Well, who knows? At least they don’t know yet…

"what to do?"

Harry looked at Hermione for a long time before he asked this question - even at this moment, he didn't understand that even if he was as smart as Hermione, it would be impossible for him to know how to deal with this terrible fact.

Both of them are wizards who have relatively clear common sense about the Muggle world, so they both have at least a certain understanding of Muggle military power.

And it is precisely because they are somewhat aware of the threat posed by the hail of bullets that they can now better understand the powerlessness of being bathed in the flames of war.

Perhaps, only wizards at the level of Macana can remain calm in this situation, right?

"In short, let's split up to strengthen concealment and protection first. The Muggle-repelling curse is the first choice... Also, be sure to remember to choose a curse that has a defensive effect on physical objects as much as possible!"

After all, it was Miss Granger who was nicknamed the "know-it-all" by Snape. Even though she was as uneasy as Harry, she was still able to calm down and formulate countermeasures.

So, the brave one and the thoughtful one worked together to prepare the entire church for protection.

During this period, many R.A. partners also began to join in and set various spells around the building. It was obvious that they planned to turn this place into a temporary shelter.

However, when everyone wanted to take a break to observe the situation, only little Victor became increasingly anxious.

He came out of St. Mungo's this time just to take risks and find his family.

I had never regretted being chased by such a large group of monsters before, and now I naturally would not give up my plan just because the British army joined.

Seeing that the little girls and boys in the church were so busy that they wanted to use their hands and feet, little Victor also followed them around in the church - he was in a hurry.

"No... Oh, I'm sorry, everyone! You guys are hiding here, I..." He hesitated for a moment, but then quickly gritted his teeth and said, "I have to go. I hope we can all spend this time safely.

A terrible disaster!"

After saying that, he stood in front of the door and immediately reached out and grabbed the door handle.

"Click... click, click..."

Little Victor discovered with embarrassment that he couldn't even turn the doorknob.

"Oh! Sir, I can understand how you want to go out, because we are also here to save people..." Hermione hurried over to persuade, "But we must also value our own lives. If something happens to you,

Your family is still alive... This will definitely be more cruel to them than if something happens to you!"

"I think what he did is right..." Harry pursed his lips and said, "To be honest, I actually want to go out and save people now. When I think that the situation outside has become more dangerous, I

Worry about Neville, Hannah and others..."

"Don't speak yet!"

Ginny, who hadn't spoken much since coming to London this time, heard Harry muttering like this and finally couldn't help but interrupt him.

"You know, everyone is not stupid," she reminded Harry, "let alone now, even when there were only monsters before, everyone would definitely find ways to hide. Think about it, you are the one running out now

Are you in greater danger, or are the other students hiding in greater danger?"

"Okay, okay...I'm not going anywhere, I'll talk about it later," Harry said quickly.

But on the other side, little Victor's view is different from theirs. Because in the final analysis...

"...You have to understand that my family are all Muggles. I believe wizards can find ways to hide, but it is difficult for my family to do so...especially my father, who was still there when those monsters appeared.

It’s in the park!”

As he talked, the more he thought about it, the more worried he became, and he immediately pointed at the door handle and said:

"Open the door! I have to go out... I'm very grateful for your help before. I also know the dangers outside, but... I really can't wait any longer."

If he is now just an ordinary Muggle like his father, then maybe he can only listen to Hermione and stay in this church and sigh for his own powerlessness.

But now, as a Muggle who can fly on a broomstick, he is no longer a person who will definitely die as soon as he steps out of this door.

Considering that his family could only wait for death in the face of this disaster, as long as there was a slight possibility, he had to give it a try.

"The only hope for them to survive is me!"

Hermione was definitely not willing to let him die, but what little Victor said was not unreasonable.

Unlike wizards, under the conditions outside, the survival rate of Muggles is really as low as it can be.

Not to mention the accidental injuries that may be caused by the Muggle army, those monsters will definitely become even crazier than before under the force of the war, and the consequences of their madness will definitely be more Muggle casualties.

There are too many monsters currently roaming the city of London!

"Harry," suddenly, Hermione turned around and said, "I have to stay here with everyone, so... can you go with him to save people? The invisibility cloak you put here can be used,

I also have Maka’s Immortal Hidden Potion here——”

"Hermione!"

Before she could finish speaking, Ginny couldn't help but reach out and grab her wrist.

"Harry... no, I mean, I want to go too!"

As Harry's girlfriend, Ginny's first reaction is of course that she wants Harry to stay. But this girl has always been a kind person. If Harry doesn't go, that's it. Once he goes, that's it.

To help little Victor and his family.

It was okay to save her classmates before, but this time, she couldn't stop Harry from doing the right thing.

Therefore, she simply stopped stopping Harry and chose to go all the way.

However, what she didn't expect was that Hermione didn't agree at all.

"Ginny, you can't go-"

"Why!" Ginny immediately said seriously, "I said, don't think of me as a..."

"Ginny, that's not what I meant."

At this moment, Hermione looked extremely serious, and she firmly rejected Ginny's request to travel.

"I believe you also know that Harry has the Sword of Gryffindor... To be honest, I don't want Harry to go out, let alone use that sword. It's just..."

She paused and then said to Harry:

"You went out this time not just to help Mr. Victor...you understand, we need a scout to go out and observe the situation outside."

"Of course, I will do all this well."

After a short period of adjustment, Harry, a typical little Gryffindor lion, had already regained his composure. Although he was also a little frightened by the dangers outside, he was not afraid of them.

However, this time it was little Victor who was in trouble again.

In fact, if he ran out and fought for his life, even if he died, he would be asking for it. But if he had to deal with a "big boy" like Harry, who was at best as big as his own daughter, his sense of responsibility would be greatly affected.

But he doesn't allow himself to do such harmful things.

"Uh... Otherwise, I'd better not go? No, no, no, no... I mean, let me go alone! You can't do it..."

"Mr. Victor, I think you heard it just now - Harry went out with you this time not just to help you rescue your family."

Hermione immediately heard the ambivalence hidden in little Victor's words, but she only explained it this way.

Now, Harry's actions are no longer as simple as saving people, so little Victor's opinions are reduced to the level of "just for reference."

What he says now is no longer important.

"Harry, I'm sorry... you and I should have done this separately," Hermione whispered while taking out the invisibility cloak and other items from her bag and handing them to Harry, "But now

I have to stay here and try to make everyone forget their uneasiness as much as possible."

The guns rumbling outside the church, the ground shaking slightly, and even the constant roar of the wind and snow seemed to be stimulating everyone's heart, making their hearts beat faster and their palms become sweaty.

At this time, no one knows what will happen next, so uneasy pressure will accumulate in everyone's hearts all the time.

In this way, if there is no one who can be regarded as the backbone and the pillar of everyone's soul, that would be the most terrifying thing.

After the situation is revealed, it will still be up to everyone to form a fighting force!

"I can understand," Harry said softly, "What you have to do is not easier than mine, and I even think it's more difficult - at least I might not be able to do it. Don't worry, just wait for my news with everyone!

"

"Anyway, don't be impulsive. Don't use the Sword of Gryffindor if you can't use it!" Ginny also came over and warned her uneasily.

On Harry's head, the Sorting Hat didn't know what he was thinking. He suddenly twisted slightly, but said nothing.

Perhaps, this disaster also brought a lot of pressure to it, so that it, which has always been chirping, seemed to be unexpectedly silent today.

"Sir, come on, come closer... The effect of this invisibility cloak is stronger than the magic spell, and it's also very big. We can squeeze together."

After sending Harry and little Victor out of the house, Hermione, who had always behaved calmly, finally showed a worried look on her face, but she quickly suppressed that look again.

Some things are indeed necessary - in the face of disaster, she can only say this to herself. (To be continued)
