Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 1342 Yan Zhu in the City Center
There is no doubt that each of the four troublemakers in those days was a smart person.
Harry's father, James Potter, was bold and attentive, easy to communicate with others, and had a natural leadership temperament; while Sirius Black was sometimes paranoid and lazy, but he had extremely high talent and quick-witted wit.
Even the little dwarf Peter, who betrayed his three friends and the Order of the Phoenix because of greed and fear, was contemptuous of what he did, and made people have to admit his intelligence.
After all, he was stupefied by a lie that framed Sirius and a little finger of his own to fool the sight of the entire British magical world for more than ten years.
But when speaking of the four people, who is the wisest person... Maca always felt that it would be Lupin.
As a person who has been shrouded in the shadow of a werewolf since childhood, his childhood experience is actually heavier than a few other good friends.
When he was young, he clearly knew his weirdness and horror, but when he grew up, he understood the threats he had to others around him.
Therefore, he is always calm. He secretly keeps a distance from others invisibly. He wants to make sure that he will not hurt anyone he doesn't want to hurt.
And it is precisely because of this habit of "taking a step back" all the time that he can see everything more clearly, thoroughly, and long-term than ordinary people.
That's why Maca always asks him to sit in a seat with an overview of the overall situation, because sometimes he is even more thoughtful than Kingsley, who is also good at the big picture.
Just like now, just a word that Bill rushed over and hurriedly dropped it would allow him to produce a series of quite accurate speculations.He saw the sudden change in the situation through Bill's haste, and he knew the urgency of the situation after knowing that it was Maca who asked Bill to speak.
Even the moment he saw Ollivander, he was already prepared for some of the worst.
"Your task is to protect Mr. Ollivander...Of course, and the box in his hands..."
Lupin found the two Aurors and told them seriously, and only then allowed them to accompany Ollivander and follow the crowd to the back door of the bar.
"...Remus."
Just as Lupin watched the three of them gradually disappear into the crowd, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him-in fact, he didn't need to look back to know who else besides Tonks?
"Ok."
Lupin turned around a little and gave Tonks a comforting smile.He could feel that Tonks' heart was as uneasy as the others around him.
It's just that Tonks is a strong and optimistic woman who never easily reveals her inner weakness.
"What's the matter, Tonks?" he asked quite knowingly.
"……It's nothing."
On the opposite side, Tonks looked at Lupin's tired face, seemingly distressed.But after opening his mouth, some words of persuasion arrived in the mouth but suddenly changed shape.
Just because Tonks is a strong and stubborn person, she can better understand Lupin's persistence.No matter how exhausted the body and spirit are, the will is always indelible.
Therefore, Lupin did not ask Tonks to leave first, and it was difficult for Tonks to lay down some of the burden.
It must be said that this kind of awareness between the two of them is probably something that Maca, who claims to be "selfish", can hardly possess in this life.
"It's okay!" Lupin stretched out his hand and gently pressed Tonks's shoulder, and said softly, "When the refugees in Diagon Alley are safely sent out of London, let's talk about other things! If it arrives time--"
Before he finished speaking, Tonks covered his mouth and gave him a small look.
"Don't say anything useless, it will only invite misfortune!"
"Oh! Tonks... When did you study fate so much? I remember, your divination grades seem to be barely passing, right?"
When Tonks heard it, he glared at him again with some irritation.
"It's daytime right now, and the moon is still on the other side of the earth!"
"Huh?" Lupin said in a puzzled manner. "What do you mean?"
"Don't understand?" Tonks turned his head away and said angrily, "I'm just reminding you, don't stop talking before you transform!"
"Oh, don't say that... it hurts too much!"
As he said this, a relaxed smile appeared on Lupin's face—werewolf matters were no longer the bumps in his heart, and the moon was no longer the only thing he feared in his life.
"By the way, I think we have to find Slug and Giggs. Their potions will also be very precious resources... Although the quality of Maca's potions is very high, we can't rely on everything. Isn't he?"
Lu Ping was talking, and suddenly, he and Tonks heard an exclamation from the Broken Cauldron Bar.And this also made the ease that they had just accumulated in their hearts disappear instantly.
But, of course, the two of them were obviously surprised by the sound.
"Don't worry, everyone, stay where you are, stay calm--"
After Lupin yelled to the slightly turbulent crowd around him, he looked down at Tonks again.
"You still go to Slug and them first, I'll go out to see the situation!"
"Uh... be careful."
It can be seen that Tonks is still a little hesitant about this, but after all, she nodded and took the initiative to turn around and squeeze into the crowd.
"Everyone stay here for a while, I'll be back in a while."
Nodding slightly at the crowd, Lupin turned his head and squeezed through the back door of the Broken Cauldron Bar, and ran across the bar quickly to the front door.
And at this moment, a gray-black flame column rushing straight into the sky from the bottom up, even if it caught his eye, the position should be...
"Saint Mungo!"
To be honest, the "pillar" that seems to stand between the sky and the earth is not strong, even from a distance, it is very slender.However, the swirling and flowing gray-black flames explained its horror easily and understandably.
It should be a cluster of special flames, and... it must be an ancient magic with extraordinary power that is not available in modern spells!
Is this the Maca method?No, although Lupin can't say that he knows Maca at all, he has never seen Maca ever used this kind of magic.
If you change the color to blue and white, or pure frosty white, it's probably the Maca.
"Who is that? Helbo?" Lupin stood at the door, looking at the fading flame column in the distance, and couldn't help but think secretly, "Well... it seems that there is only the guy Helbo. ."
"Flap!"
Seeing that the flame column did not appear again after it slowly disappeared, Lu Ping immediately raised his hands and patted it, attracting the eyes of all the asylum seekers who were in the open.
"Don't be afraid, because our evacuation route happens to be in the opposite direction, so we won't go to the place that doesn't look right, but try to get away from it! Now, please go as soon as possible! Get outside, at least the apparition The curse can be used at will!"
As he talked, the people who were instructing their acquaintances to hug each other were all formed into a team, and then immediately followed the steps she had said, and began to march towards the suburbs.
Lu Ping naturally did not follow, because in his plan, he was bound to be the last group to leave.
"Boom—"
Suddenly, another movement came vaguely from the direction where Saint Mungo was.This time, the noise was much less noticeable, maybe the team that had just left here didn't hear it at all.
"Maca..." Lupin could not help but secretly said in his heart at this time, "I hope you can go well."
It is not hope for "peace" or "victory", but a sentence of "smooth".At this moment, Lupin, probably few people know what he is thinking.
...
"...What was that just now?"
The gray-black flame column of Shi Cai was so eye-catching that even the gray fog in the city could not cover it completely.Therefore, even Hermione and Luna, who had followed the team gradually to the outer edge of the city, saw a dim black shadow straight up into the sky in those few seconds.
"It's definitely not a good thing," Luna on the side whispered, "I feel very uncomfortable looking at it anyway! But... I think it may be related to Maca."
"You mean, Maca is fighting someone else?" Hermione Dang even muttered to herself slightly solemnly.
"Oh," Luna immediately shook her head when she heard it, "I didn't say that-I don't know, I just thought it might be that way?"
At the same time, Delphi, who was looking after the entire Saint Mungo evacuation team in the middle of the team, couldn't help but glance in the direction he came.
"This feeling...Is Dad still unable to prevent things from happening?" She shook her head after staring there for a while, and said silently in her heart, "It's okay, at least Dad didn't really look back because of time. Seriously injured, even if it is against the devil, if you can't beat it, you will definitely be able to retreat."
Thinking of this, Delphi suddenly turned his head and looked at the people who were moving forward.She knew that these people must leave London as soon as possible, so as to give her father more choices.
It was for this reason that she took the initiative to temporarily leave from Maca's side and ran to take charge of the escort mission of Saint Mungo.
"Don't pay attention to the movement behind, speed up the pace, we will be able to get out of this mist soon!"
It was the director of St. Mungo’s Hospital who was walking on the other side of the team. He was obviously more relaxed than when he was in St. Mungo’s looking at the other side.
To be honest, when Maca proposed to withdraw from London, he couldn't help feeling a little grateful-his shoulders were too heavy, and with his weak shoulders, he really couldn't afford it!
"Retire when you look back!" He couldn't help muttering to himself.
