Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

"Hermione, things on the front line... don't seem to be very good!"

I don't know if after acquiescing to Harry to go to the battlefield, Lupin gave up the idea of ​​concealing the battle from the children, and Ron easily took back the information overheard in the lobby of the New Ministry of Magic.

But think about it, now, it obviously doesn't make much sense to hide it in front of the children.Rather, if there is any misunderstanding between Hermione and the others, it is more likely to cause more trouble.

"It's not good? Where's Harry? Is Harry all right?"

As soon as she heard Ron's words, Ginny couldn't help asking before Hermione spoke.However, Ron could only shook his head and said:

"I don't know, no one has mentioned Harry's situation... but if it were him, it should be fine! It's just that, leaving aside Harry's situation, the overall situation of the frontline battlefield seems very bad... The team was repeatedly forced to retreat. Before I returned, I heard that the army of corpses had broken through Dartford!"

"Dartford...In other words, has you already covered one-third of the distance so soon?" Hermione said with a heavy voice, "Then...what about the team responsible for evacuation? There is an army...Where are they?"

"Uh," Ron heard Hermione asking about this, and he paused for a while, "Dartford, and along the Watling Highway between Dartford and Rochester..."

"Has been caught up?"

Seeing Hermione's eyes widened in surprise, Ron couldn't help sighing.

"To be precise, when the group of living corpses completely broke through the defense line of the suppression team and arrived in the city of Dartford, our evacuation force and the Muggle military's cooperation with the people's transfer work was only halfway through. The number or strength is far less than that of the front-line Qing suppression team, so they can only withdraw from the city and go to the subsequent cities where the corpse group has not yet been extended."

"Half of the residents of Dartford...was abandoned?"

If it were just sacrifices in the suppression team, even though it was also deeply saddening, Hermione and the others could barely accept the reality that people were dying constantly.But now that even innocent Muggles in half of the city have lost their lives, this kind of thing can never be called a "sacrifice."

"...Hermione?"

Seeing that her state was a little wrong, Ron hurriedly called her, but finally saw her shook his head slightly after taking a deep breath.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

After saying this, Hermione lowered her eyes and said softly:

"Harry has gone to the front line for us, and all we can do is to seize the time to contribute more to the defense of Spiral Town."

When the voice fell slightly, she saw her mouth pursed after all, picked up the magic stone slab that had just been put aside because of Ron's return, and continued carving.

In fact, everyone on the scene can feel that the most important thing Hermione wants to do at the moment is to go out and help like Harry.

Whether it is blocking the enemy group on the front line or assisting in the evacuation from the rear, she must be more at ease than shrinking here and burying her head in carved stone slabs.But if you calm down and think about it again, even if you count all of them, it will be nothing but a drop in the bucket for the collapsed front line.

While staying here to strengthen the defense of Spiral Town in silence is not obvious and disturbing, but what they do may actually play a greater role in the future.

In its current form, Spiral Town will soon become the last line of defense against the army of living corpses.

However, Hermione might be able to suppress the anxiety in her heart and tell herself not to be emotional.Because of the various experiences during this time,

However, Ginny, who was purely worried about her boyfriend Harry, couldn't bear it after hearing Ron mention the battle on the front line.

It must be said that she has actually tried her best to keep herself from being impulsive.It's just a pity that when she thinks that Harry might also be in danger, she can't calm down.

"I'm going"

"Ginny!"

At the moment Ginny stood up suddenly and seemed to want to say something, Neville, who was still in a daze at the end of the long parchment, suddenly threw the quill in his hand back into the ink bottle.

"Ginny, let me go! I'll help you see Harry's situation"

"Neville?"

Ginny was startled when she heard Neville suddenly say that she was going to see Harry for herself.And just when she hadn't recovered, she saw Neville looking at Hannah who was still talking not far away.

"...Hannah, can you?"

"Uh."

Hannah, who had never had any ideas, was immediately asked by Neville.

Needless to say, she naturally didn't want Neville to go out to take risks, but because of her gentle nature, she seemed to not want to become a girl who would hinder her boyfriend from doing things.

"That... um."

Seeing Hannah nodded slowly, Neville was about to throw the parchment roll in his hand to the side. In a blink of an eye, he passed by the hesitant Ginny and went straight to the stairs.

"Navi!"

Ginny couldn't help calling him when she saw this.It's just that she also understands that if she has to let another person rush to the front line, Neville must be much more suitable than her.

"Hermione?"

She stood there hesitating, and subconsciously looked back at Hermione who was silently carving the slate, but the other party just shook her head with her eyes down.

That meant, naturally, it couldn't be clearer whether Neville would go or not. For the time being, Ginny Weasley could never go to the front to make trouble.

Yes, although it sounds ugly, it is "adding chaos."

"...Neville? You are in a hurry, where are you going?"

Just as the remaining friends in this underground corridor closed their mouths, and only Neville's fading footsteps echoed in the corridor, suddenly, a familiar voice suddenly came from the stairs.

Immediately, everyone hurriedly cast their eyes to the other end of the corridor.

"Maca? You... here you are!"

That's right, you can see that the one who stopped in front of Neville, who was about to step on the stone steps, was Maca's slightly thin but extremely reassuring figure.

"Well," Maca, who had just come down, looked at Neville for a while, then raised his eyebrows and said, "Why, the five-foot experience is finished? Let's take a look!"

Having said that, even though Macadam passed by Neville, he walked straight to the observation room.

"What's wrong? Come here!"

Seeing that Neville was stunned and didn't know which way to go, Macka immediately turned around and waved his head to indicate.Immediately, Neville, who didn't dare to violate Maca's words at all, had to honestly raise his leg to follow.

"What's going on? One by one, grimacing...oh, are you making a slate..." Maca said with a chuckle as he walked in.
