"The change in the mist? Is it related to Muriel?"

To be honest, Maca did not have a deep impression of Muriel.Had it not been for Pansy's failure to rescue her from the Ministry of Magic's dungeon, which triggered the second robbery incident, Maca might not even be able to remember her as soon as she heard her name.

On the opposite side, Lu Ping was sitting on the bench where Neville and Hanna were sitting before, thinking for a while and saying:

"Yes, at least what Heerbo meant at the time, it should be that way. Of course, I don't quite understand what exactly is going on...what do you think?"

At the moment the two were sitting face to face, and on the ground between them, letters and notes were scattered on the ground.While the two people were talking, they found useful news from inside one after another.

I have to say that this is undoubtedly a very troublesome work, but Lupin and Maca did not blame Mondungus, after all, that guy is really not good at doing this kind of thing.

Not only that, Mondungus was able to send all the information and materials. This decision seemed stupid, but in fact it was quite correct.Because in today's special period, Maca would rather spend more on his own, and don't want any omissions.

It took about half an hour before both Maca and Lupin stopped their intelligence gathering.Maca twisted her neck, which was a little sore because she kept her head down, and then said thoughtfully:

"It seems that the apprentices in Helbo should be'crazy'... Of course, according to what you just said, Martin seems to be an exception."

Since there is one exception, there may be a second one, and Maca feels that it is necessary for people to find it.Then, I listened to Maca continuing:

"...Then, the same, those madmen should have been summoned by Helbo for the time being. Although it is not clear what purpose he has, but if you think about it, it probably won't be a good thing."

When he said this, Macaro paused slightly and frowned slightly.

"As for the change in the mist that you care about most...Lupin, I just have something to tell you about it..."

Lupin was also taken aback by the demon summoning technique.However, since even Maca didn't know what the process and results of this summoning technique were like, after listening to it, Lupin had more questions in his heart.

But, of course, the problem of coherence is better than the one without beginning or end.After all, Lu Ping, who has understood the entire context, will not even know where to start the investigation.

He nodded his head seriously, and said in a deep voice:

"So, the first thing that should be placed now is...find the witch named'Muriel'?"

"Well, yes," Maca nodded slightly, "but she is obviously very important to Helbo now, so she must be hidden very deep by him. It is by no means an easy task to find her."

"Anyway, I can only bite the bullet and look for it," Lu Ping handed over the information to Maca, then stood up and said, "Then I'll go, and go to Sirius first... If there is nothing unexpected If it does, Kingsley should be with him too. Before the man dispatched by the Federation comes tonight, we will mainly defend the two refuge points... The matter of finding people is after the support!"

"Okay," Maca immediately got up and said to him, "That's it for the time being. During this time, I will also ask my spiders to help find them...Be careful when you go by."

...

As Lupin and Maca parted farewell, the situation in Diagon Alley temporarily turned from danger to peace.

The arrival of Aberforth made the line of defense of the Broken Cauldron Bar a lot more solid and reliable. In addition, the apprentices of Helbo, the most difficult to deal with, were temporarily recalled, and they even had the opportunity to counterattack.

However, what made Kingsley a bit of a headache was that Aberforth was somewhat uncooperative.

"Don't assign manpower to me, I am used to being alone, but I don't get used to it with more people..."

The old man waved his hand, resolutely not to part of the Auror that Kingsley had separated, but rather to be alone.According to him, he is not good at commanding and cooperating.

But now there are many black wizards outside, and the number of them is at least twice that of theirs. If only one person fights, even if Aberforth is good at fighting, he will inevitably fall into a dilemma.

What's more, judging from the previous situation of so many people fighting alone outside, the advantage he obtained was mainly due to the surprise attack at the beginning.After that, the battle situation has obviously gradually turned to a stalemate. If only head-to-head confrontation, the situation may not be much optimistic.

"Aberforth, I believe you must also understand. In this situation, group combat is obviously better than fighting alone. Even if you don't know how to cooperate with people, at least bring some people around, at least you can help You relieve some of the pressure of responding to the enemy."

"Okay, okay, let's talk about it later!" Aberforth said casually, indifferently, "Anyway, we have to wait for the guys from the federation to come over, otherwise, it's just that we won't have much to attack here. significance."

Having said that, he stretched his hand over a chair and sat down at the door carelessly.Looking at the dark wizards outside the magic barrier, he didn't know what he was thinking about again.

Upon seeing this, Kingsley had to turn his head and shook his head helplessly at Sirius.

"Let's go up and stare! The view from the window over there is relatively wide. If there is any abnormality, you can find it as soon as possible."

Tonks on the side watched the two of them go upstairs. This time she did not follow them together, but looked at the Aberforth who was stuck in the door a little curiously.

"What are you looking at?" Aberforth said sullenly, "What's so good about me...If you want to see, just look outside. By the way, think about it, how to fix these bastards who don't sleep in the middle of the night!"

"Oh, sorry," Tonks said, leaning against the wall next to him, shrugging, "I'm just wondering if there is something special about Dumbledore, or else, why you and the professor are so good. "

"Hmph, I knew it was my bastard brother again," Aberforth curled his lips. "You guys, don't always compare me with him... Maybe no one can do anything but McLean. Compared to that bastard."

When Tonks heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said:

"Actually, I found out when I was at the Pig's Head Bar. Although you never talk about a professor when you mention it, do you still seem to admire him?"

"Of course," Aberforth snorted softly, without turning his head back. "In terms of talent and strength, he has been far above his peers since childhood; in terms of mind and mind, he has always been outstanding...don't look at me like this. , I feel very proud of my brother in my heart!"

Even if he couldn't see his expression when he spoke, Tonks could hear a deep sarcasm in his tone.Although Tonks didn't know anything about the contradiction between the two brothers, she also knew that it was best not to continue this topic.

After a short pause, Tonks suddenly turned to:

"What about Maca? In fact, not only you, but many people also say Maca is the second Albus Dumbledore... For the professor, I think you must know better than anyone, and I heard that Maca I often go to the pig’s head bar to sit and sit...Do you think they are very similar?"

However, Aberforth suddenly turned around and glared at her.

"I remember, you are the little girlfriend of that boy from Remus?" He said, "It's no wonder that you can be together and have the same idea of ​​finding words... It was Kingsley who asked you to come and talk to me. Huh? Go tell him, don’t think about it, instead of thinking about how to make a good relationship with me, it’s better to think more about what to do next... I see, things will not be that simple tonight, the Federation The support of the company may not make the situation much better."

Before he finished his words, he rolled his head and signaled Tonks what to do, so don't get entangled with him like this old man here.

Obviously, although Aberforth seems rough, the careful thoughts of others can quickly be seen through.

Tonks didn't pay attention to himself when he had said these things, so he had to shrink his neck and stick out his tongue, then turned around and planned to go upstairs.

But at this moment, Aberforth, who was sitting at the door, suddenly spoke:

"By the way, let those two guys down...your man is here."

"what?"

When Tonks heard this, he immediately turned around and leaned forward, looking out the door hurriedly.But Aberforth gave her a push, impatiently:

"Ah what, go call someone! From this angle they can't see upstairs."

Although Tonks was pushed aside by him at once, she still saw the familiar figure in the opposite alley at that moment.

After finding that Lupin should be fine, she ran up the stairs with a little relief, and went upstairs.

Not long after, Kingsley and Sirius, who had just gone up, hurried back to the door with Tonks. After checking Lupin's position in the past, they immediately discussed a specific plan of action to take him over.

There are still many enemies out there right now, and they are all the kind of guys who are not right.As Maca said before, those congregations should be gathered by Haierbo's apprentices, almost all of them are ordinary wizards controlled by dark magic.

Unlike Aberforth, who is completely informal, at least Kingsley believes that they need to be more cautious about these people.If there are too many casualties, the Ministry of Magic may have a very bad influence on the wizarding community.

In the final analysis, people do not think that they can treat human lives rashly in times of crisis, and it is not uncommon in history that similar situations have aroused public anger.

In this regard, Aberforth apparently disagrees.

"Can you just fool around?"
