Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 2653: From light to darkness

() "Ariana, you..." Aberforth glanced back at the two, but didn't say anything, he turned around again, "You know what to do."

The girl in the painting smiled slightly, with a hint of shyness, appearing very calm. But everyone knows, and I believe she also understands what she will do next.

The girl glanced back, then turned around and started walking, step by step towards the distant forest in the background of the portrait.

This time, she didn't get smaller with the distance as usual, and the frame followed her like a Muggle camera lens.

Not long after, everyone watched her walking all the way into the slightly dark forest, and a small tunnel entrance gradually appeared in front of everyone in front of the painting.

"You don't have to go there yourself!" Aberforth couldn't help but say something.

The girl turned her head and smiled lightly at her brother outside the picture again, then she stood at the side of the tunnel entrance and did not move as she said.

And at the moment when she finally stood still, the entire picture frame opened automatically with a "creak" like a door, revealing a real deep tunnel.

Aberforth, who stood at the front, stared steadily into the dark tunnel for a few seconds, and then, like the younger sister in the portrait just now, silently stepped aside and stood at the foot of the wall next to the entrance place.

It's just that his gaze is undoubtedly much sharper than that of his sister Ariana. Although he didn't say a word, when he was watching the people in front of him... especially Hermione and Luna, he seemed to be silent. Ge asked a word: Are you sure you want to go?

"We'll be back," said Hermione.

"With the news of victory." Luna smiled and continued.

Hearing this, Hermione immediately turned her head and gave her a look.

"There is no 'victory'!" Hermione exhorted earnestly, "Our mission this time is just to find a way for us to win! On this basis, we just need to come back alive smoothly , understand?"

"Oh, yes." Luna nodded again and again, made a movement of shrinking her neck and lowered her voice, "Be careful, and sneak over to take a look, isn't that right?"

As she spoke, she lowered her head and looked at her own shadow in front of her, and immediately said, "Don't worry, Shabo will help us."

Before she finished speaking, her good friend hiding in her shadow conveyed a will to her, and responded positively to her words.

"But 'she' had to stay in the secret passage in the end," Hermione reminded, "You know why, don't you?"

"Oh," Luna sighed regretfully, "yes, I know."

For a living corpse, the risk of getting close to the witch Kern is too great, even more dangerous than the evil wizard Haierbo who brought them into this world. Although Shabo's ability is particularly inclined to hide and hide, Luna, as her friend, is unwilling to let her take such a big risk to enter the current Hogwarts Castle with her.

Seeing Luna nodding towards her, Hermione turned her head and glanced at the surrounding people again, and turned around with Luna into the darkness of the tunnel amidst repeated reminders from everyone.

The environment without light would be more suitable for Shabo's ability to display. The two of them didn't even use the magic wand glow spell, and they gradually drifted away from the light at the entrance in the darkness.

Finally, with a "squeak", the frame closed again, blocking the sight of everyone in the room from Arianna who stood in the center of the canvas again.

There was a moment of silence, which represented the complexity and heaviness of everyone here, but everyone also understood that some things had to be done. As far as the current situation is concerned, it is actually the best decision for Hermione and Luna to go.

"With the current strength of Hermione and Luna, nothing will happen. We just need to wait here patiently while doing our job well!" The little girl leaning against the wall Sirius said this, then stood up straight, patted his clothes and said, "I should go to Inverness, the newly arrived troops of the Bulova family should need someone who is more familiar with the overall situation of the front, I will give them Be a guide."

As he said this, he left directly from the door, and the tall figure suddenly leaned over and shrunk as it passed by the window. Not long after, everyone heard a howling wolf-like bark faintly, and it was obvious that they had arrived far away.

"Sirius is right... Guys, let's do what we have to do!" Lupine said loudly with a wave of his big hand.

"I'll just stay here and watch."

Aberforth pulled out his wand and waved his backhand, a tall round stool slid under him from not far away, and he just sat down next to the portrait of Ariana.

Lupine gave him a slight nod, and then hurriedly left with the others.

…

"It **** to not see anything."

In the dark and long secret passage, Hermione's voice sounded suddenly, breaking the uneasy silence where only the sound of footsteps echoed faintly.

It's just that at this moment, she obviously hasn't thought about it, it's not just this small part of the secret road that can't see her fingers.

"I heard from Aberforth that there seem to be brass hanging lamps on the wall, and they can be lighted up by tapping on them with a magic wand." Luna replied, "Of course, some of them may not be tapped anymore. It's bright, you know, they are very old."

"It's better not to turn on the lights, black spots are black spots!"

"Yes." Luna nodded in the darkness, "Sometimes walking from the light into the darkness is to find another piece of light through the darkness... In other words, you have to go through the darkness."

"I wanted to ask a long time ago," Hermione turned abruptly, "Where did you hear these strange sentences?"

"When I was a child, my mother read many books to me, some were written by wizards and some were written by Muggles - the sentence just now ~IndoMTL.com~ was written by a Muggle writer."

"Oh, so..."

Maybe Hermione didn't really want to know that much, but it was just a little too disturbing to walk in the dark like this without saying anything. Especially when there is an extremely dangerous mission ahead, waiting for them to approach step by step.

After being quiet for a while, Hermione put aside the somewhat unnecessary question before, and said again:

"Luna."

"Huh?"

Luna murmured suspiciously in the darkness.

"Did the patron saint of Maca say anything other than getting us started?" Hermione paused and asked, "For example, did you mention... anything else' important?" Items'...something like that?"

As she spoke, she touched the braid of the beaded bag subconsciously, not knowing what she was thinking.
