Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

"I'm sorry, Miss Granger... Mr. Lupin just said that he has important things to do, so the gate is closed temporarily, no one can enter..."

Outside the main entrance of the Hall of the New Ministry of Magic, Hermione, who was supposed to be looking for Dean Saint Mungo, didn't seem to go upstairs as he had agreed with Harry and the others. Instead, she went back and forth, and just left. Soon here.

However, the Aurors who were guarding the door persisted and did not let her pass.

To be honest, they are actually very embarrassed, because Hermione, like them, has made a great contribution to the evacuation these days.When staying temporarily at the camp before, even their breakfast and lunch were made by Hermione and other volunteers.

Although it is an official business right now, several Aurors also understand the importance of observing discipline in extraordinary times.But in terms of personal emotions, she obviously felt a little sorry for Hermione, who seemed a little anxious to be blocked by them.

However, the order is the order. If the public and private cannot be distinguished, then they will not be arranged here to be responsible for guarding the new Ministry of Magic building, a key location of the wartime command nature.

"Miss Granger, I'm really sorry, but we really can't let you in. If you have any important information that you must say, we can tell it on your behalf, but you really can't go in."

"Hmm... Forget it," Hermione thought for a while, still shook her head helplessly, "I know... I'm the one to say sorry. If you just want you to let me go, it will definitely embarrass you. ."

In the end, she still did not entrust the reason for her entry to them, but after hesitating for a while at the door, she turned her mouth and walked down the steps.

But at this moment, the door of the hall opened by itself.

"Mr. Lupin!"

When several Aurors saw the figure appearing at the door, they greeted immediately.

"Thank you," Lupin smiled, then looked at Hermione who stopped on the steps and looked back, "Why are you back again? Didn't Maca ask you to clean up the observation room?"

"Uh……"

Seeing Lupin coming out, Hermione hesitated a little instead.

"Harry and the others have passed, I just... still have some questions..." She hesitated, then shook her head slightly, and then turned, "Lupin, can I... go in and talk about it?"

"Well—" Lupin groaned a little, then nodded, "Then come in!"

To be honest, Hermione thought she would see some surprising pictures after entering the hall, after all, Lupin's attitude always felt a little caring.

But when she followed the other party in and took a subconscious look, she found that the hall was still the same as when she left before, without any change.

Oh, what I have to say, that is, there are a few people missing-after they left, it seems that even Maca has left, and now only her and Lupin are left in the hall.

"boom."

As Lupin, who walked to the sand table, gently waved the magic wand in his hand, the door was closed again, and the hall became quiet.

"According to what you just said, Harry and the others don't know about you coming back here, do they?" Lupin held the edge of the sand table with one hand and said casually, "Say it! Run back and find me what's the matter?" "

"Well, actually..." Hermione looked around again, and after reconfirming that Maca was indeed gone, then continued, "Actually, I was planning to come to Maca...about the patrol team just now. thing."

"Is it just looking for him?" Lupin shrugged, still speaking slowly in his usual gentle tone, "He left soon after you left, saying that he was going to make some preparations for a short inspection-you I know, the two wounded who will be sent over soon."

"Ah, is it? Hmm...Is that so?"

Lupin's words seemed to make Hermione suddenly hesitant again, as if she suddenly had some doubts about her previous thoughts.

On the other hand, Lupin, who had specifically said that sentence, couldn't help but feel quite emotional for this student who was once when seeing Hermione shaken a little.

As Maca said, Hermione was indeed very keen and quite intelligent—she had apparently noticed something abnormal from the omission of Lupin’s previous words.

Only because Lupin deliberately mentioned Maca to prepare for the inspection, Hermione was still confused.

If something really happened to Sirius, how could Maca still do something unrelated to saving people so calmly?

Just when Lupin was calm on the surface, but secretly sighed inwardly, Hermione, who had been misled by Lupin's words just now, couldn't help but speak:

"Lupin, I remember that Sirius was on the patrol side, right? There were two injuries mentioned earlier, is he okay with Sirius? I ran back specifically, in fact, I wanted to confirm— —You know, in the absence of Harry."

Harry is the godson of Sirius, and since Harry lost his parents' relationship at a young age, Sirius is almost like Harry's real father.

If something happened to Sirius, Harry would definitely run to London desperately.

But as far as Maca had been saying before, the London side can be said to be very dangerous at the moment. Even if Harry's current strength is absolutely extraordinary, it is very likely that he will not come back.

At least according to Maca's statement, that's right.

"Well, I can understand your worries, and I already understand your painstaking efforts to Harry," Lu Ping nodded slightly when he heard the words, "but you can rest assured! Sirius is okay-he and I are A good friend for so many years, almost like a real brother, if something happens to him, can I still be so calm?"

"Uh...I think if it's Lupin you..." Hermione said hesitantly, but quickly waved her hand again, "Wait, no... I didn't mean you are not emotional or What, don't you get me wrong!"

After a quick explanation, she continued:

"It's just that you have always given us the impression of being so calm, calm, and taking care of the overall situation. Even Maca trusts you very much for it. That's why I think--"

"Oh, don't rush to explain, I can understand what you mean."

Lupin's expression was still so peaceful while listening to Hermione.

"I think I have to thank you for your compliment first, but... to be honest, I may not be as reliable as you think. If something really happened to Sirius... You know, our four good buddies back then Son, plus Lily, now only me and him are left."

"So... if he isn't there anymore..."

Having said this, Lupin couldn't help but sighed slightly, and her dim face made Hermione who had mentioned it apologized.

"Sorry."
