harry potter book of crimes

Everyone sits down and gets ready, if something unexpected happens, we have to at least hold on until Maka comes back!"

In the hall, Hermione was getting the R.A. members back into battle preparation to deal with enemies that might appear next.

Of course, even though they had achieved good results in the recent disaster, everyone still felt unsure this time.

After all, Haierbo is an opponent that gives Maka a headache. If that guy stands in front of him, can they really make any difference?

Especially in this indoor space with limited space, even if everyone can arrange the rune pattern according to the last time, they will be restricted because they cannot make flexible adjustments.

"Remember, just follow the usual practice, a group of five people. Synchronized spell casting and precise spell casting are all taught by Maka step by step. Now it is our turn to use what he taught to replace him in protecting St. Mungo's.

..."

When Hermione talks about this kind of inspiring words, she always has the momentum to talk endlessly, and the effect is usually good. But when she arouses everyone's determination and everyone is eager to try, Sirius

Suddenly he walked in from the side door.

"It's okay for now. Let's take a rest in the hall!"

It was as if they had just worked together to blow up a balloon, but in the end they couldn't hold the mouthpiece firmly. Sirius's words immediately made everyone feel discouraged.

When Ron saw this, he immediately approached.

"Sirius, then...what is the specific situation? Why is everything fine again?"

Harry had just gone with Sirius. Now when Ron asked, he explained on his behalf:

"It was the spider swarm left by Maka that successfully controlled the big guy. Now it has been petrified. The spiders are currently staying there to guard the scene. Well...it seems that nothing is wrong, but little Victor

Sir, he..."

"Oh..." Ron nodded quickly after hearing this, "That sounds good, at least I don't have to go in!"

Immediately, Hermione and Ginny walked over and pushed him aside, asking Harry and Sirius for more details.

After Ron realized that he seemed to be a little redundant, he simply ran to his classmates and started muttering nonsense.

Not long after, Hermione finally asked about the situation in that warehouse.

It turned out that not only the bandaged man who turned into a big man was petrified, but also little Victor was unfortunately "glad" by the spiders and turned into a statue.

Fortunately, as long as you have the Mandrake Resurrection Potion, the petrification effect can be completely lifted.

"Yes, St. Mungo's has a reserve of resurrection potions, but there are two problems now -"

As Harry spoke, he couldn't help showing a troubled expression.

"One is whether Mr. Little Victor has been possessed by Haierbo; the other is Mr. Little Victor's father..."

"What happened to father?" Ginny asked doubtfully, "He is also in that room, right? Is he also petrified?"

"No, no, he didn't..." Harry said helplessly, "It's just that because his son has turned into a stone sculpture, he is throwing a tantrum now - currently he has not allowed any of us to get close to Mr. Victor.

"

"Actually, it's not that I can't understand it," Sirius on the side said casually, "At least I think this is enough. If he doesn't let us get close, then let's not go there... Anyway, those two people have

The dangerous ones have all been petrified, haven't they?"

"Oh! We can't do this!" Hermione said with a little dissatisfaction, "You have never been petrified before, so you don't know how bad it feels... It's like waking up and realizing that you have lost some time.

The longer it lasts, the more uncomfortable it becomes!"

Back then, Hermione had experienced the feeling of being petrified due to the basilisk in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets, so she felt a little uncomfortable with Sirius's irresponsible view.

It's just that Sirius's idea is indeed not unreasonable, and it is even a very sound decision. So after two rebuttals, he put the matter aside for now.

"Anyway, we have to find out the identity of the patient who became as big as a troll first." She said and turned back suddenly, shouting to the crowd behind her, "Ron, what Maka left behind

Is the register at your place? Bring it over quickly!"

"Hey! Here we come!"

Hearing Hermione calling him, Ron, who was bragging with a Gryffindor junior, immediately responded and ran back again.

Hermione took a not too thick notebook from his hand, held it in her hands and hurriedly looked through it.

Maka's notes have always been very detailed, but after only turning a few pages, she realized that it was impossible to start searching like this.

At present, almost all the characteristics of the patient were learned from Harry and Sirius. However, from the beginning to the end, they had never seen the original appearance of the patient.

What's more, who knows if that guy was among the patients? Maybe he was hiding somewhere and suddenly appeared to cause trouble before?

"It's definitely not possible to search like this."

Hermione pursed her lips, then suddenly pulled out her wand, put it against her throat, and cast a sound-amplifying spell on herself.

"Ms., gentlemen, who stayed in that ward temporarily, does anyone know what happened? If anyone remembers the appearance of the person involved, please come over and describe it to us!"

At the other end of the hall, many injured patients were gathered there. After hearing Hermione's words, the buzz among them gradually became louder.

But the people who were placed under house arrest in that temporary ward were guys with problems of one kind or another. And people like them, don't expect to actively contribute to everyone.

Sirius looked at the expressions of those people that said "it's none of their business and they don't have to worry about themselves", and he felt a little angry.

Although he has some similar bad habits, he also has his own sense of responsibility. Of course, he often doesn't bother to do things that are meaningless or inefficient, but it does not mean that he is selfish and only for himself like those people.

.

Realizing that Sirius seemed to have the idea of ​​"go over and beat them up", Hermione quickly stepped in front of Sirius.

"If someone can come over and explain it to us, if it is correct, we will reward it with gold galleons!"

"Oh! Hermione, you are so generous!" Ron said in surprise.

But Hermione only glanced at him casually.

"What are you thinking about? It's better than spending it together." She said, "It doesn't need to be more. I think about ten gold galleons is enough."

"That's ten gold galleons!" Ron quickly covered his pocket and said, "Ten! How many bottles of butterbeer can this buy! I've never had so much money..."

"Don't you have a golden cauldron?" Harry said with a smile, "Maka gave it to you."

...

While Hermione was trying to collect information and complete the entire incident, old Victor, who was still in the warehouse, could only stay beside his son's "statue" and mutter in a low voice.

Although he has never been afraid of spiders in his life, he has never seen so many spiders in his life as he did today!

Right now, the room is crawling everywhere with black spiders and some dark green spiders.

Most of them are only about the size of a thumbnail, and their body shapes look very uniform. But the largest one is much bigger than him.

And more importantly, this big spider can actually talk!

Damn it! It’s already weird that a spider can grow to such a big size, and it can actually speak human language... What the hell is this setting?

"...It was a mistake. It was a mistake this time."

Old Victor muttered and glanced at his "hard" son behind him, seeming a little bored.

In fact, he had his own selfish motives when he asked his son to follow Maka a few days ago. But he never expected that the magical world would be even more chaotic and terrifying than he imagined.

This can easily turn a good person into a monster, or simply turn into a large number of translucent guys killing people on the streets...

It turns out that all the wizards in the magical world live in such a dire and harsh environment?

"If that's the case, why did she have to leave back then? And she left without making a sound, and as soon as she left, there was no news again..." Old Victor looked at his son's gray face intently and couldn't help but whisper.

He said, "In such an environment where there is constant fighting and killing, I guess my life has been lost a long time ago, right?"

After complaining for a while, he finally couldn't help but sigh.

This old Victor has been a very strong person since he was young.

The shock of his wife's silent departure did not knock him down, nor did it make him give up. He just waited for most of his life in the Greenwich Park where he first met his wife.

It's a pity that I don't know if it's my wife who is ruthless or God who is unjust.

Over the years, he went from hanging out in the park every day before retiring, to picking up a broom and becoming a cleaning volunteer in the park after retirement. After waiting for a long time, he never met the "her" deep in his heart again.

.

No, not even his wife, he has never met another wizard.

Therefore, when he discovered that Maka was a wizard from the magic world, although he was calm on the surface, his mood was extremely agitated.

And because of this, when Maka turned to leave, old Victor, knowing that he might not be able to keep up, immediately pushed his son out.

But now, old Victor, who has rarely regretted in his life, finally feels a little regretful.

This "magic world" is completely different from what he imagined!

"Hey! Spider!"

Old Victor thought about it, then suddenly turned around and shouted at the big spider.

"ah?"

Seeing that the other party responded, he couldn't help but roll his eyes again - who can tell him how to communicate with a spider? (To be continued)
