Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 1797: Bird cage elevator
When Hermione hurried back to the gate of Boothbatten from the outskirts of Berlin, Germany, she found that someone was already waiting for herself on the fountain square inside.
"You are back," Delphi saw him and immediately greeted him, "Ms. Larson just brought us a...well, not very good news."
Before the voice was over, Larson, the maid behind her, hurriedly said:
"Sorry, Miss Granger--my lady still seems to have followed to the UK secretly. Because of her reckless mistake, the lady asked me to apologize to you and discuss the possibility of remedy by the way."
While she apologized again and again, she repeated what she had said with Delphi here.
To be honest, the results of this incident were so big or small that even though Hermione didn't want to blame the other person, she couldn't say anything for a while.
Fortunately, Delphi then turned to say:
"Hermione, when this'not so good news' is over, let's listen to another'not so good' news! Mr. Potter has not contacted us directly, but indirectly The news is there-the French Ministry of Magic received several British survivors who had crossed the English Channel. They came from Weymouth and were said to have been helped by Mr. Porter. We originally planned to do this afternoon. I went to the Ministry of Magic to see them first, but now it seems that the sooner I go, the better."
"Survivor?" Hermione heard the words and nodded immediately, "Okay! Excuse me, Delphi, I agree with your judgment. Then we'll pass now... Luna, you have to go with you too. Right?"
"I called her," Delphi said, "I think she should be brought."
"Hmm."
Hermione thought for a while, then nodded.
"Then go!"
With that, she turned around and walked back non-stop, planning to go to Paris with them. But at this moment, a voice coming from the direction of the castle caused all four of them to stop.
"Miss Granger! Miss Lovegood...wait, wait for me."
"Huh?"
Hermione turned her head and suddenly saw a petite figure running from the other side of the fountain to this side—it was Gabrielle, a little beauty of Veeva descent.
"Miss Delacour? What's wrong?"
"Oh!" Gabriel finally ran up to her, and after a few breaths on her knees, she straightened up and said, "Miss Granger, I heard you are going to the Ministry of Magic? I. I think I can go with you—in fact, my sister is working in the Department of Magic. If Mrs. Maxim is not there, it would be much easier to have my sister working with you."
"Oh, then...okay!"
Hermione only hesitated for a moment, and she agreed quickly.
"Thank you, Miss Delacour."
……
The entrance of the French Ministry of Magic is located in a small square... Well, to be precise, it is in the Furstenberg Square in the 6th arrondissement of Paris.
This square is surrounded by a circle of slightly old buildings. There are various trees in the four corners of the square, and there is a small, abandoned street lamp fountain in the center.
"...It is said that the Ministry of Magic was entered through a fountain a long time ago, but people always complain that every time they go in, they have to get wet and dry again. It seems a bit silly, so in the nineteenth At the end of the century, the overall renovation was changed...cough hum cough hum..."
Gabrie pointed to the small fountain column in the middle, introduced it casually, and then coughed a little strangely. The next moment, I saw a few of the surrounding four trees suddenly protruding from the ground, forming a big birdcage elevator around everyone, and then it took the entire ground and everyone in the cage to sink down. .
"However, I always think it's silly to have to cough like this every time--I will definitely not come to work at the Ministry of Magic anyway."
Since Hermione, Delphi, and Ms. Larson all have their own priorities, they didn’t have any thoughts to respond to these words by Gabriel, so they just smiled at her so as not to make her feel like she’s no one. Feeling disappointed after paying attention.
Only when Luna heard it, she couldn't help but shook her head and said seriously:
"You're not stupid! Gabriel, the way you coughed just now looked weird."
"Really?"
Gabriel touched her cheek. Although she was obviously happy to be praised by others, she still pursed her mouth, a little shy and authentic:
"But I have grown up, you should say that I am beautiful."
While the two were talking, the birdcage elevator moved quickly underground. When it slowed down again, Hermione found that she had come to a wide hall.
"Shit la la la—"
Several cages scattered quickly, retracting into the gap in the dome, and the French Ministry of Magic arrived.
"Guests, do you have an appointment?"
As soon as she got there, Hermione saw a receptionist in formal wear on each side coming forward and politely asked them. But soon, I saw the female receptionist among them looking at Gabriel and said:
"Oh! Little Gabrielle, are you here again? I remember, Bussbarton seems to be still in class today? Did you come from playing truant?"
"I'm not young anymore!" Gabrielle pouted, "This time I'm here to accompany these distinguished guests from Busbarton on errands. Go and help me call my sister! This Gran Miss Jie and this Miss Lovegood are also her friends-I will take them to the counter to register first."
"Miss'Granger'?" As soon as the other party heard the name, he couldn't help but say, "Is it Miss Hermione Granger?"
Hermione nodded when she saw this:
"I am."
"Oh! Mrs. Maxim came to the letter last night~ IndoMTL.com~ The receptionist saw that it was really Hermione, and immediately put Gabriel aside," But... the minister said, You guys should not come here until tonight, how come it's only at noon... Ah! Is it because I heard about the survivors? "
"That's it." Hermione nodded again. "Of course, there are deeper reasons for the specifics-Mrs. Maxim has other things to deal with for the time being, so I had to come over first."
"Okay, I understand... Miss Granger, sorry! I have to trouble you to move to check the registration first. This is also a rule, please understand."
"No problem, it should be," Hermione said cooperatively, "especially in these times."
Gabri on the side watched the two sides talk smoothly in front of her, and suddenly realized that she didn't need to follow her at all, and she twisted her mouth depressedly.
Fortunately, there are others who are willing to care about her.
"Gabriel, let's go find your sister first, how about?" Luna whispered while pulling her.
