Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 1512: Rationality and Sensibility
"Hermione, things on the front line... don't seem to be very good!"
I don't know if Lupin gave up the idea of concealing the battle from the children after acquiescing Harry to go to the battlefield, and Ron easily took back the information overheard in the lobby of the New Ministry of Magic.
But think about it, now it’s obviously meaningless 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.
"What's wrong? Where's Harry? Is Harry all right?"
As soon as she heard Ron's words, Ginny couldn't help asking her 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 Harry’s situation aside, the overall situation on the frontline seems very bad. ...... The Qing suppression team was repeatedly forced to retreat. Before I returned, I heard that the army of living corpses had already broken through Dartford!"
"Dartford...that is to say, one-third of the distance has been covered so soon?" Hermione heard the words and said in a heavy tone, "Then...the team responsible for evacuation of the people What? And the army...Where did they go?"
"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?"
Ron couldn't help sighing as she saw Hermione's eyes widened in surprise.
"Accurately speaking, 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. Because The evacuation team was far inferior to the front-line clearing team in terms of number and strength, so they had to withdraw from the city and went to a subsequent city where the group of living corpses had not yet been extended."
"Half of the residents of Dartford...was abandoned?"
If it was just a sacrifice in the suppression team, it would also be deeply saddening, but Hermione and the others can barely accept the reality that people are 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?"
Looking at something wrong with her state, Ron hurriedly called her, but saw that she finally 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 on our behalf, and all we can do is to hurry up and contribute more to the defense of Spiral Town."
The voice fell slightly, and she was still pursing her mouth after all, picking up the magic stone slab that had just been put aside because of Ron's return, and continuing to carve it.
Actually, everyone in the room 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 a carved stone slab. But if you calm down and think about it again, even if you count all of them, it is just a drop in the bucket for the collapsed front line.
Although staying here silently strengthens the defense of Spiral Town, although it is unremarkable and annoying, 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 may be able to suppress the anxiety in her heart and tell herself not to be emotional. Because of the various experiences during this period of time, she fully understood the disadvantages of fever.
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 is also very likely to be in danger, her heart can hardly calm down.
"I want to go"
"Ginny!"
Just as 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 feather pen in his hand back into the ink bottle.
"Ginny, let me go! I'll help you see Harry's situation"
"Navi?"
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, it seemed that she didn't want to become a girl who would hinder her boyfriend from doing things.
"That...hmm."
Watching Hannah slowly nodded his head, Neville was about to throw the parchment roll in his hand to the side, and in a blink of an eye he passed by the hesitant Ginny and walked straight to the stairs.
"Navi!"
When Ginny saw this, she couldn't help calling him. It’s just that she also understands that Neville must be much more suitable than her if she has to let another person rush to the front line~IndoMTL.com~Hermione? "
She stood there hesitating, and subconsciously looked back at Hermione who was silently carving a stone slab, but the other party just shook her head with her eyes down.
That means, of course, it couldn’t be clearer whether Neville will go or not. For the time being, Ginny Weasley definitely can’t go to the front to make trouble.
Yes, although it sounds ugly, but 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, abruptly, a familiar voice suddenly spread from the stairs. Come here.
At that moment, everyone hurriedly cast their eyes to the other end of the corridor.
"Maca? You...you are here!"
Yes, 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 very 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? Then take a look!"
After 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 where to go, Macka immediately turned around and rolled his head and gestured. 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? Each one has a bitter face...oh, are you making a slate..." Maca said with a chuckle as he walked in.
