Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 697: One more look
"...put down the magic wand! I warn you, immediately put down the magic wand in your hand! This is the British magical world. It is a violation to cast spells on others for no reason—"
In a street vendor area near the Forbidden Forest, Hermione scolded a man in a stern tone. However, while trying to maintain her righteous expression, her cheeks inevitably became slightly flushed, and even the roots of her ears seemed to become hot unconsciously.
No way, it's really because the sorcerer's dress in front of me is really too much for a young girl who hasn't graduated... well, it's too shameful.
Yes, right in front of her right now, a guy with animal leather wrapped around his waist is holding a squiggly wand, his eyes widened and talking to Hermione. . It's just that he doesn't seem to know English, and even if he babbles for a while, he can't make Hermione understand even a word.
Presumably, after realizing that it was meaningless to warn the other person, Hermione quickly chose to shut her mouth. However, with her temperament, she would not give up.
I saw her racking her brains while thinking while stretching out her hand to sign, for a while, she pointed to the strange wand in the opponent's hand, and then vigorously waved her hand and shook her head.
However, the facts tell us that even with body language, there are huge cultural differences. I don’t know which action Hermione made went wrong, the wizard who seemed to belong to the African delegation suddenly became nervous, and the wand that was pointing diagonally behind Hermione also moved to where she was. .
Due to the sudden increase in hostility from the opponent, and even the subject changed to herself, Hermione had to tense her nerves and stop the movements of her hands.
This open space among the crowds that had appeared because of sudden disputes has also expanded again at this moment. As a result, the third person who was standing behind Hermione suddenly became a lot more eye-catching.
"Luna, you go first... Hurry up and find Maca." In order to avoid irritating the other person again, Hermione could only speak quietly to the girl behind him while remaining as still as possible." He is the person responsible for negotiating with the delegations of various countries, and only he can solve this matter the fastest...I will try my best to hold this person."
Actually, this incident started when Luna and the African wizard met by chance, but if we want to find out the reason, it is still a mystery because of the language barrier between the two parties.
If you have to use words to describe the situation at the time, I am afraid that it can only be described by the phrase "just because I looked at you in the crowd".
Yes, it was the next moment when Luna and the wizard's eyes crossed each other. After a little dazed, the other party pulled out the odd-shaped wand hung in his waist leather pocket.
Now, although things have not become clear, the atmosphere between the two parties on the scene has become more and more tense.
It's just that, regarding Hermione's proposal to let Luna leave first...or a decision, Luna did not act accordingly. At this moment, she was just like in the past, looking forward with a dazed expression, not knowing what she was thinking again.
In the past two years, the number of times she was stunned when nothing happened was actually much less than when she first started school. But now it seems that the reduction in frequency does not mean that she has completely bid farewell to this inexplicable habit.
"Luna? Luna...Lu..."
Because she was still confronting the "shameless" African wizard silently, Hermione didn't dare to look back. But even if she didn't have eyes behind her head, she could clearly feel that Luna hadn't moved.
The next second when Hermione whispered again, the crowd on both sides suddenly commotion. Immediately afterwards, a familiar figure struggled to push away the crowd and got into this not-so-large open space, and suddenly rushed to the sides of the confrontation.
"He--"
The uninvited guest who came in suddenly, naturally, was Harry who heard the sound not far away. He was about to call out her name subconsciously after seeing Hermione, but immediately he spotted the weird wizard opposite Hermione.
No, to be precise, I found the wand in the opponent's hand.
Compared to Hermione who is used to reasoning as the first option, Harry obviously has the style and spirit of Gryffindor College. So when he quickly noticed the slight sense of threat, the wand that was still inserted inside the robe fell into his palm for the first time.
Just as a loaded gun is to a Muggle, for a wizard, I believe there is nothing more tense than using the tip of a wand to face each other. Harry's appearance, not only did not relieve the tension, but further aggravated the conflict between the two sides.
The tip of the African wizard's wand unexpectedly shifted again, and Harry and his sights suddenly collided.
If the line of sight is also a kind of curse, just this one, I am afraid that a brilliant spark has already been hit.
At this moment, Luna, who was still in a daze, was thinking about it, Hermione had no way of knowing. She only knew that if someone took out the magic wand, this inexplicable dispute would immediately escalate to a real curse chaos.
There is no doubt that this situation must be terminated by some means-this market temporarily formed due to the event has gathered too many wizards, if something goes wrong, it is not just for A trivial matter for one or two people.
But at this moment, Alexander's appearance interrupted Hermione's contemplation again.
He came after Harry. Although he was a few years older than Harry in the crowded crowd, he tried very hard to appear in everyone's sight.
"What happened—"
As the number of people who crossed in increased one by one, the wizard from the African magic world couldn't help it.
So, Alexander, who had just entered from the crowd of onlookers, was only half talking, and a cloud of gray mist instantly passed by everyone's ears as a spell that Hogwarts had never taught. Suddenly it gushed out from the top of the wizard's odd-shaped wand. The mist seemed light and erratic, but in fact it was so fast that it immediately enveloped him and spread out quickly.
Although I have never seen such a spell, everyone in the training understands that keeping calm when facing the unknown is one of the most important things.
. As far as the practice of simultaneous spelling is advocated, calmly cooperating is undoubtedly a very crucial point.
So, before the surrounding crowds even had time to cause riots in the future, Harry and Hermione looked at each other in a tacit understanding—it’s not just now. With one more magic wand ready to cast a spell, This is one more opportunity to deal with the situation.
Both of them understand that it is already an extravagant hope to solve the problem without causing any trouble.
After exchanging glances, Harry immediately waved the wand in his hand that had been waiting for a long time, and a breeze suddenly grew from small to large, and quickly swept toward the gray mist in front of him.
It was a "cyclone sweep" that was used to clean up dust and garbage, but he used it reasonably. From this point, it can be seen that certain understanding and flexible use of various spells have been passed on to a certain extent through the analysis of the spells that Maca originally distributed.
And when the airflow successfully started to disperse the fog following Harry's guidance, Hermione, who had been watching the situation on the scene, also moved. Seeing that she knew the moment when the gray mist was moved by the whirlwind and the figure of the African wizard was slightly exposed, a red light flashed past the tip of her magic wand.
It is another spell that uses the technique of silent spells. The red light belonging to the disarming spell crossed the short distance between the two sides in a blink of an eye, and fell exactly to the point she was aiming at.
There is no doubt that such a high accuracy of casting spells also comes from repeated simultaneous spell casting training. It can be seen that the training content of. will continue to be proven in actual combat.
Unfortunately, when a splendid red light particle suddenly exploded in the slightly thinning gray mist, Hermione knew that her disarming spell was blocked by the opponent.
The opponent is naturally not a wooden pile nailed to the ground. Even if there is not much room for movement due to the terrain, at least it is inevitable to put a defensive spell on oneself.
In fact, the African wizard's intention to spread the gray mist was probably to prepare for the situation with one enemy and many...
Of course, the situation at the scene was verbose, but in fact it was nothing more than a few seconds. And when the two sides went back and forth like this, the crowd onlookers finally seemed to have recovered—the commotion was about to begin!
"Wait?"
No one would understand that the question sentence was used for this "wait", but it is not important anymore. Because when the pale gold suddenly flows to the middle of the three magic wands ~ IndoMTL.com~ the brilliance of the magic spell that was ready to be cast, suddenly quietly extinguished from the tips of both sides.
"Harry, Hermione..." That was Luna, "It's okay."
At this moment, Harry and Hermione were both dumbfounded. Because they didn't expect that Luna, who was still in a daze just now, would suddenly rush out and just stick in the most dangerous place.
"Lu——"
"It's okay."
Luna's repeating again interrupted Hermione's call.
At this moment, Hermione was stunned to realize that the African wizard who was standing on the other side of Luna had also dropped his odd wand. Although she couldn't see the real expression because of the colorful oil on the opponent's face, Hermione felt that for no reason, the "shameless" African wizard should also be greatly relieved.
"What exactly...what is going on?"
Harry’s words probably already represent the aspirations of everyone present.
