Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 1769: Close the port
After all, Safina failed to join Harry's team.
No matter what she said, she couldn't convince Hermione and Harry. After all, this first investigative mission was full of unknowns, and it was a burden to go to one more person. Hermione has determined the most suitable team candidate, and this is impossible to change.
After Safina left with depression for the time being, the group of friends again discussed the specific details of Harry and their trip-for Britain, they are naturally quite familiar with it. This choice should be made. What route and where to leave a good escape route. After brainstorming, ideas popped up from everyone's mouth, and Hermione analyzed and selected them one by one.
It wasn't until late at night that the big guys went back to the room arranged by Mrs. Maxim and had a good night's sleep.
Of course, there must be very few people who can sleep peacefully this night.
Until four o'clock in the morning the next day, everyone got up early, and everyone went to send Harry and the others to the school gate. After leaving the campus of Boothbarton, Hermione, who was uneasy, couldn't help but urge again.
"Okay, Hermione!" Harry urged, holding the Gryffindor sword in one hand, "Go back with everyone! It's still early now, I think you'd better rest a little longer. ."
"Especially Hermione, didn't you-Mr. Butler, did you say it last night? We, Hogwarts, have also come up with a representative to persuade other forces to form a resistance alliance. Obviously you have to go. . I think there will be no less things you will be busy next!"
"Well," Hermione nodded, "Then...Be careful yourself, remember to take the initiative to evacuate when you encounter dangers that cannot be handled. Compared with the results of the investigation, your safety is the first, understand. Already?"
"I see."
After making the final answer, Harry turned and greeted:
"Let's go!"
……
According to the discussion last night, Harry and the others finally decided to abandon all means of moving relying on magic to enter the UK after going to a harbour closer to the UK.
So, under the prerequisite to avoid being discovered by Helbo as much as possible, they decided to go by boat.
It stands to reason that the nearest port city in France to the United Kingdom is the original city of Calais. It's just that the landing from Canterbury, opposite Calais, is too close to London. In order to reduce the possibility of directly encountering Helbo, it is obviously necessary to enter the UK from a different place.
As the space was retracted for a while, Harry and a group of five people appeared near the commercial port of Cherbourg, France—they came through the door key provided by Mrs. Maxim.
According to the plan, they should then get a boat to leave the port for Beihang and cross the English Channel longitudinally to land in Weymouth, England.
But as soon as they arrived here, they found that the harbour not far away was sparsely populated, and there was no such thing as the hustle and bustle of people in the harbor in the early morning.
It can be seen that although there are many large and small cargo ships moored in the harbor, there are almost no crews working on the ships.
"Go! Anyway, go find someone to ask."
As soon as Harry waved his hand, he took Ron, Ginny, Hannah and Neville hurriedly away from the top of the building, which was the transfer point of the door key, all the way to the harbor.
"There is someone over there, please wait here, I'll go over and ask."
Seeing someone driving a forklift in the warehouse area not far away, Ron Dang took out his wand and walked quickly toward the other side—it’s still France after all, not yet Need to limit the use of spells.
"Hello! Hey, buddy? Can you understand English..."
Not long after, Ron stretched out his wand and pointed it into the open car window, then pulled the door directly and squeezed into the driver's seat.
After a while, the forklift slowly drove up to them.
"Harry," Ron poked his head out of the car window and shook his head. "This eldest brother only speaks French! I asked, but I didn't understand anything."
"Then what do you want him to do?" Ginny heard the words and said immediately, "Don't hurry down!"
When Ron jumped out of the high driver's seat again, Harry watched the confused freight worker drive the forklift away, and then frowned:
"Actually, I think the port here is probably closed due to security issues! Nowadays, the current situation in the UK is not a secret rumor in the Muggle world. The strait across Cherbourg is the United Kingdom, and the port is blocked. It's a normal decision."
"What should I do?" Neville scratched his head. "Otherwise, let's ride a broomstick? After all, none of us can sail."
Harry listened, he couldn't help thinking for a while, then he nodded and said:
"That’s all... Although Hermione said that flying broomsticks will definitely leave traces of magic, as long as we stop using them before entering the mist, Helbo shouldn’t be able to find out no matter how powerful it is... , Probably?"
"Wait, I said..." Suddenly, Ron whispered, "Or, let me try if I can start the boat? You know, my dad made a Muggle car at home. I drove that thing-maybe I can also sail?"
"Shut up!"
Ginny pushed him to the side angrily, then waved her hand:
"That's it! Ride a broomstick."
"Aren't I also thinking about our safety?" Ron said with a bitter face, "Also, Ginny... your accent seems to be more and more like Hermione!"
They were talking like that, when Harry suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction where he had just come, and then he let out another surprise.
"That's it?"
When the remaining four saw this, busy turned around and took a look.
I saw ~IndoMTL.com~ a figure was walking towards them, with a mask on his face that made everyone feel very familiar.
"Miss Geoffrey, why are you here?"
None of them expected that Safina would appear here directly after being rejected.
"Because you won't take me there! So I had to come by myself—" she said as she walked this way, "It looks like you are having some little trouble? Do you need my help? "
Harry and the others couldn't help but looked at each other a few times, obviously they didn't know what to say.
"Miss Geoffrey, you--"
"Oh! Do you want me to go back like this?" Safina walked to Harry and stood still for a while, and then said seriously, "If you still don't want to take me, then I have to go to England by myself— —You have to understand, I must go there anyway."
Before the words were over, Safina didn't wait for Harry and the others to answer, and immediately turned and walked towards the harbor.
