Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Boom, boom, boom—"

A knock on the door suddenly sounded on the streets of London, but even though Ginny's hand hurt, the familiar door was still no one looked.

No, there was not even the most basic response, as if there was no one on the other side of the door.

"...Hermione? What should I do?"

The broken cauldron bar that has always been full of people, but now it seems that no one is there.The black oak door of the bar was closed to death, and even if someone knocked on the door, there was no response inside.

It was as if even Tom, the owner of the bar, had left it.

"Maybe it was to prevent the fog from entering Diagon Alley, so the Ministry of Magic simply blocked it?" Hermione thought for a while, but quickly shook her head, "No, logically speaking, this place should become temporary. The refuge is the right place. Last time there was a disaster in London, the Broken Cauldron Bar and St Mungo were the only two refuge spots in the city! No matter how you think about it this time, you can't suddenly decide to lock down."

After thinking about it, she simply stretched out her wand and aligned the tip of the wand to the position of the door lock, intending to try to open it from the outside first.

But to be honest, Hermione didn't actually have much confidence in unlocking.

However, with just a simple "Alaho Cave Open", the door of the Broken Cauldron Bar opened with a soft "click".

"Ok?"

The few of them saw the door opened. Although they thought it seemed to be going too well, they walked into the bar in a hurry.

After I got into it and observed it for a while, this time it was finally unsurprising-from the bar counter to the small round tables for serving guests, there was indeed no one in the bar, and the whole bar was in a rare dead silence.

It is worth mentioning that the closed door seemed to be closed only after the fact, because the bar was also filled with quite dense fog.It's just that the amount of fog is not as much as it seems to cover the sky outside.

In order to keep the gray fog from coming in, and to prevent the visibility in the bar from decreasing, Hermione closed the oak door with her backhand.

"Well?"

Suddenly, Luna stretched her neck, and she frowned as if she had smelled something as her nose closed slightly.

"Do you smell anything?"

"What?" Ron also sniffed, but after a while he scratched his head questioningly, "No? Well... if you have to say it, it is the smell of alcohol? And the old Tom can't get rid of it. Musty smell..."

However, Ginny, who was beside him, frowned immediately.

"Is there a strange smell, like... blood?" Her expression became more and more serious, and her heart also became more worried.

This is, Hermione also raised her eyebrows and greeted several friends:

"I can smell it too. Is it coming from the stairs? Someone may have been injured...upstairs! Let's go up and see..."

It didn't take long for the three girls to determine the direction of the smell, and ran up the stairs leading to the guest room on the second floor. Ron couldn't help but stunned.

"Is my nose broken? Or are girls inherently more sensitive than boys?"

Of course, the current situation didn't have much time for him to think about this kind of problem, but after a short pause, he also hurried to catch up.

And when a few people quickly climbed the stairs and ran to the corridor on the second floor, the large blood stains left here immediately proved that Luna and the others' sense of smell was indeed correct.

Although the blood stains in this corridor had begun to solidify, it was obviously not left in a short period of time, but the blood volume of several pools still left a lot of that sickening smell.

Someone was injured here, it seems that the injury is not minor, and... it is likely that more than one person!

Seeing so many blood stains that had turned dark red, everyone immediately took a step back with some discomfort, and then stood in the corridor for a long time looking at each other.

"It seems that London is more than just foggy..."

As they flew directly on Hermione's flying broomstick, they didn't encounter any obstacles from dark wizards along the way, so until now, everyone realized this under the reminder of these blood stains.

"All in all, take your wands! Let's open the doors of the room and take a look!"

Hermione stared at the shocking bloodstains, said to everyone without looking back, and then walked towards the door closest to the stairs.

Like the bar door downstairs, none of the doors of these guest rooms have ever been given a protective spell, and they are basically opened easily with an unlocking spell.

They even discovered that two doors were simply open, and the contents inside were extremely messy, which showed that the guest staying here must have gone hastily.

It's a pity that apart from these circumstances, everyone seems to be unable to find more valuable information.Including when they went back downstairs and searched as thoroughly as possible, they didn't get any more gains.

"Let's go to Diagon Alley... I hope there are at least people there."

After seeing the misery of the Broken Cauldron Bar, they now only hope that Diagon Alley will not be like the bar, no one can be seen.If there are no people there, they really don't know where to go.

After a while, the four of them came to the backyard of the bar, maintaining a certain degree of vigilance.And they immediately saw that the magical courtyard was wide open, and one could directly see the streets of Diagon Alley from the courtyard.

When they saw this scene, the hearts of the few friends seemed to sink—it was obvious that Diagon Alley was invaded, and it seemed that they had forcibly opened and destroyed the magic brick wall as the entrance.

After a moment of stunned, Hermione was the first to recover.Seeing that she quickly signaled everyone to stop speaking, and then took the other three people lightly to the side.

After they both leaned against the wall and became concealed, Hermione pursed her mouth and poked her head slightly, and glanced across the diagonal alley.

"How?" Watching Hermione shrink back, Ron quickly lowered his voice and asked.

Hermione blinked at him, then shook her head with a weird expression.

"I think... let's just go in!"

"Ok?"

Before Ron could react, he saw someone suddenly walk in outside the open courtyard wall, but he was frightened and raised his wand in a hurry.

"Why are you here?"

Everyone did not expect that Sirius actually came in.

I saw that he just randomly looked at the wand pointed at him, and then continued to speak:

"It's very dangerous right now. There are a lot of dark wizards walking around in the fog and hurting people... I don't know how you came here, but I think you have seen it, and even Diagon Alley was attacked."

"Then...how is the situation in Diagon Alley now?" Hermione asked immediately.

Upon hearing this, Sirius couldn't help shrugging.

"For the time being, I have beaten those guys back once, now there is no one outside, right? But I guess they should come again...Don't stand here and talk, come here first!"

After that, he turned around and walked back, Hermione and others hurriedly followed.

As soon as they entered the street in Diagon Alley, Ron and the others understood why Hermione's expression was so weird.

It turned out that there were many Aurors and Black Wizard strikers standing on both sides of the back of the courtyard wall. With her previous probe, she must have found herself being watched by a large group of people.

Oh, it must be very subtle when I want to come!

And among these people, they also saw a few familiar figures, such as Tonks and other members of the Order of the Phoenix who had had several bonds in the past.

While following Sirius inside, Ginny suddenly couldn't help asking:

"Sirius, is Percy here? Or has he been here?"

"Percy?" Sirius paused, before he suddenly said, "Oh, is your brother Percy Weasley? No, he has never been here...at least since we came here to stay, not Saw him."

Having said that, he turned to:

"Your parents have been here, saying that they are here to find two sons and daughter-in-law. Because the current London is indeed perilous, so I originally wanted to keep them, but they both insisted on leaving. In order to guarantee For their safety, I also sent a few Aurors to accompany them to find someone..."

"Oh! Thank you, Sirius." Ron said gratefully.

When Sirius heard this, he waved his hand indifferently and said suddenly:

"By the way, you guys don't go anymore-the magic power of those dark wizards is a bit unexpected, and I can't break up any more. As for finding someone, I have already contacted Lupin, and he will arrange for others. To search."

"Oh, but—"

Ron was about to say something, but Hermione tugged his clothes secretly, causing him to stop suddenly.

"we know."

After Sirius temporarily placed them in a nearby cauldron shop, Ron watched them leave, and then looked at Hermione with some doubts.

"Why didn't you just talk to Sirius directly?" He said, "As you know, Sirius is different from other adults. He has never opposed our actions."

"Because of this, I won't let you talk to him in detail," Hermione glared at him. "Didn't you hear all of them? He doesn't have enough manpower here. If we tell him to leave, That will only make him feel embarrassed! You say, if he separates out for our safety, and then he is in danger because of insufficient defense strength..."

"Ah! That's really not very good," Ron nodded immediately, "So... what shall we do next? Are we leaving?"

"Of course," Hermione said, "After all, Percy's situation must be terrible now! But before I leave, I want to find someone to ask about the situation-remember what Sirius just mentioned? There seems to be a lot outside. Very dangerous dark wizard!"
