Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 1896: Sarah knocking on the spine
"Squeaky--"
Pushing open the closed side door of the church, the slightly rusty hinge made a harsh sound, which made people get goose bumps.
and then, before everyone could take a few more glances at the dim and gloomy space behind the door, a series of dull noises suddenly came out from the darkness deep in the church and got into everyone. In the ears.
It's like...someone is beating a piece of damp and rotting wood.
"This is the foyer," Neville whispered softly after listening to the strange movement for a few seconds. "Last time when we came here, it was almost like this--because Maca and the others seem to be all If you don’t go here, you usually enter and exit directly from the main entrance on the corner next door, so there is no lighting here."
"Well," Hermione nodded, "Since it's the same wherever you go, let's go in!"
"Ok...oh, you can go directly to the church hall by taking the side gallery on the right," Neville pointed to the right hand side, "Maca, they should all be there... Uh, I mean, Probably."
Hermione heard the words, looked around inside the door, and then took the lead and turned and walked towards the door Neville said.
This church should be considered one of the largest among all the churches in the UK, and in today’s fog, the larger and empty the building, the darker it is. Fortunately, Hermione, who had been accustomed to night tours of Hogwarts Castle since childhood, obviously wouldn't feel too uncomfortable.
Everyone's footsteps reverberated in the room, mixing with the inexplicable tapping sound that hasn't stopped until now, and it makes people confused for a while.
Soon, they walked through the side porch and came to the entrance of the church's nave.
"Maca in there?"
stood at the door and looked inside. Hermione looked a little confused, because the central hall in front of her was almost darker than the hall and the corridor outside. Looking in, there was almost nothing to see except the prayer bench near the door, and everything was submerged in the dark mist.
"You shouldn't?" Neville and other people who have been here all looked inside, showing incomprehension, "The last time we came here, there was a magic floating on the ceiling of this atrium. The ball of light illuminates the entire hall as if it is daytime. Not to mention dispelling the fog, at least it is not a problem to see it at a glance."
Hermione listened, she was silent for a moment, then she frowned slightly:
"Will... Maybe Maca is not here anymore."
This guess, in fact, she wanted to say it when she saw those figures from outside just now, but if Maca wasn't here, then here would turn this ancient city into this...who would it be?
Because it is on this British land where enemies are on all sides, everyone can't help but look at each other when they hear Hermione's doubts.
But after that, she didn't know what she had suddenly thought of, and she raised her brows suddenly.
"Whether Maca is or not, at least...I think I might know that...those ‘things’ were made by someone out there!"
Before spoke, she waved her hand without looking back, motioning everyone to follow her. Then, she suddenly quickened her pace and followed the knocking sound to the depths of the church's atrium.
Everyone doesn't know what she is thinking of, but it can be seen that she is like this, so she has to rush away.
Not long after, the group headed by Hermione quickly passed through the unmanned and dark central hall, through a half-open door at the deepest point, into a place similar to a lounge, and then from Entered into a darker corridor.
This corridor is a bit tortuous, with many doors on either side—most of them are open without any cover, with nothing but old furniture inside.
And occasionally encountering one or two closed doors, Hermione didn't seem to open her mind to take a look, and went straight to the direction of the tapping sound.
"click."
Until, Hermione gently opened a certain door between her and the sound, and a gleam of light finally passed through the gap between the two door leaves suddenly and fell into everyone's eyes.
may have been in the dark for too long, the light still made everyone feel a bit dazzling, so they couldn't help but raise their hands to cover it.
followed, they finally cleared the scene hidden behind this door.
It was a petite figure sitting on a relatively large wooden rocking chair facing the door of the room. While slowly shaking back and forth with the rocking chair, she grabbed a small hammer and fell up and down, hitting...a spine resting on her thigh?
And just around the rocking chair, there are various human bones piled up, all scattered randomly on the floor in a very messy manner.
Ron, who was leaning forward, dared to swear. He just glanced at it and saw more than one skull from the horrible pile of bones. The hollow eyes made him hurriedly retract his head again, and he didn't even have any interest in seeing who was sitting on the rocking chair.
"Sarah."
Hermione stood at the door and called out in a very subtle tone.
"Shh~IndoMTL.com~ Sarah on the rocking chair stopped her work and raised an index finger at the door, "I still have a lot of'babies' here who need to sleep. Be careful not to make noise. Wake them up. "
After lowering her voice and saying such a sentence, she raised her hand again. Upon hearing this, Hermione and the others subconsciously turned their heads and looked in the direction she was pointing.
But at the other end of this large room, there are rows of rectangular stone cylinders that look like coffins neatly placed, with dark green liquid rippling slightly inside. Looking from this doorway, only the outermost stone jars can vaguely see the human-like objects lying in the liquid.
Hermione took a few more glances, and couldn't accept it for a while, and couldn't help standing still for a moment in silence. Then, she shook her head slightly, and put this weird scene aside first.
"Sarah, where is Maca?" she asked in a softer voice than before.
"Maca has something to do, I left temporarily," Sarah held up the spine she had been tapping just now, admiring it back and forth, without raising her head. "Oh, yes, it's with Blois. Miss and her father are walking together. If you want to find Maca, just wait here!"
"How long to wait?" Neville couldn't help asking.
"How long?" Sarah thought for a while, then shook her head, "I don't know that, Maca didn't say it."
's voice fell slightly, and Hermione hesitated again, and finally asked a question that everyone was very concerned about.
"Then...what are you doing here?"
