Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 700: Children attacked
This world has never revolved around a certain person. Everyone has a life that belongs to them. While Maca was busy with such and such things, the Old Black House also passed by day by day.
Recently, as the days have gradually become dull, the children who stay here have slowly recovered some feeling of being alive. Although it was only occasionally, occasionally, there was finally immature and innocent laughter here.
But the most worth mentioning, I'm afraid it is the younger sister Leni among the werewolf sisters.
She is not very old, and she is always noisy. At first, when these children about her age came to Black House, she thought she was about to have a lot of companions who could mess around together. But when she discovered that it was a group of lifeless children who came here, her heart was undoubtedly very depressed.
But after a while, something that surprised Lupin and the others happened—Lenny somehow pried open the locked hearts of some of the children, even though the children were still not when she was with her They opened their mouths wide, but at least they were willing to run around the house with Lenny.
Now, even Lupin, who has been trying to guide the children out of the shadows, has to admit that these little guys can gradually become more cheerful, and Laini is really indispensable.
In fact, Lenny is now the king of children in Black’s old house. Except for the little girl named Isla who only wanted to stay with Helen Schoen, the other children ran behind Leni’s **** all day long, and sometimes even went to the street outside for a little stroll. A small circle.
"If this continues, Hogwarts may have more special freshmen in the coming year. When they make more friends in school, they may be able to walk into their lives like other children. ."
In the reception room on the first floor, Lupin said happily while reading the newspaper leisurely. Opposite him, Sirius, who was sitting on the other side of the long table, also nodded, looking in a good mood.
In the past two days, they finally stopped having nothing to do. Ever since they followed Maca to the magical world of Iran, after returning, they would go out and run every day to keep the situation in the UK in their hands in time.
The two of them are actually the kind of guys who can't take time off, especially Sirius. It's more uncomfortable to let him sit all day than to kill him.
It's the same today. When the kids come back after having played with Laine, they should go out to find out about the news again.
The seat closest to the door at the long table has basically always belonged to Lena.
Because of her low-key and introverted character, even in the old Black House, which is based on kindness and harmony, she always maintains a certain sense of distance from everyone. Coupled with her personal preference for cooking, she prepared three meals for everyone when Mrs. Weasley was away.
To be honest, if it wasn't for Sirius, the mansion owner who always seemed inconsistent, Lena's existence was almost like the servants here. Of course, at this point, no one would think so.
However, even Lupin wants to be polite with Lena from time to time, trying to remind Lena that everyone is equal here. But if Lena immediately became more polite than them, it would undoubtedly turn the cart before the horse.
So, in desperation, the others had to follow Lena to do it.
For example, in this seat now, Lena will always sit in the corner of the corner, and sometimes even just stand directly. And when Lu Ping had a conversation with Sirius, she would never get involved, let alone just interrupt.
Speaking of people who don’t know how to get along, Lena will definitely be ranked number one by everyone.
But just today, at this moment, when Lu Ping and Sirius were randomly discussing where to go to get information in the afternoon, Lena's sudden opening made them suddenly startled.
Since it was so sudden, they didn't hear what Lena was saying, so they were surprised.
"What?"
Sirius took his feet from the chair beside him, Lupin also subconsciously put down the "Daily Prophet" in his hand, and the two looked at Lena who stood up suddenly.
"Lenny...Lenny is in danger."
Lena's expression was almost the same as usual, but her brows frowned slightly. But her hands twisted tightly in front of her showed her inner anxiety.
"Where? Can you feel it?" Sirius asked immediately.
"At..." Lena pursed her lips, then turned and walked towards the door suddenly, "I can't tell the exact location, but Laini just wanted to transform...Although it should not have been successful, I did feel it. Please follow me, I know the direction..."
It stands to reason that Lenny will not run far with the children. And in this neighborhood, there are alienated eight-eyed giant spiders patrolling around, no matter how you think about it, it shouldn't happen.
But when Lupin and Sirius followed Lena straight through two blocks, they understood. Somehow, Lenny ran away today.
"The two of us have been outside to investigate the situation every day for the past two days, but we didn't find that someone had touched the old house. This is really a big irony."
As he hurried on his way, Sirius said angrily.
So the answer is already obvious. The two senior members of the Order of the Phoenix, who have experienced two Death Eater campaigns, are completely inferior to each other in tracking and searching. It is even very possible that the guys who wandered here were brought over by them inadvertently.
Because Lena couldn't sense the specific location where Lennie was trying to transform, the three had to run with their legs to correct the direction.
Regardless of the specific strength of the three of them, at least the running speed and endurance alone, Lena, who is an innate werewolf, is obviously much better. While both Lupin and Sirius were breathing a little, Lena was able to restrain her speed a little while suppressing the anxiety in her heart so that they would not chase her away.
"Here--"
After passing another alley and running along a somewhat deserted street for a while, Lena turned around abruptly, and kicked open the iron gate of a large warehouse.
This used to be the ingredient storage warehouse of a light industry factory. Of course, it was completely empty after it was abandoned in the early years. Now when the three of Lena stepped into the place to see, apart from some cold shelves, there were only plastic baskets and transparent packaging bags scattered all over the place.
Now the warehouse door was kicked open by Lena, and the wind on the street outside suddenly poured into the rather empty warehouse, causing the packaging bags on the ground to scatter.
"There are traces of fights there—"
Lupin looked deeper, and soon found several shelves lying on the ground.
The shelves here are very large, and when used in the past, they obviously needed to stack heavy goods, so those steel shelves are quite strong and rigid. However, those shelves that had fallen down were all deformed now, and it was obvious that they had withstood a considerable amount of heavy blows.
The three rushed to check it out, and then Sirius immediately found other clues.
"Look at these two sides," he said, pointing to the large windows on the left and right. "The windows on both sides are broken... Lena, you noticed that the place where Lennie tried to transform is indeed here, right?"
Lena nodded soon after hearing this.
"Well, she should have rushed into the warehouse from one side of the window, trying to transform while avoiding someone. But the transformation was unsuccessful, and the enemy followed in, so she immediately went from the other side Escaped from the window..." Sirius said, he looked at the broken glass on the ground again, and then continued, "I got out from here, let's continue chasing!"
Sirius's speculation was reasonable, and Lena agreed immediately and ran to the right window first. But at this moment, Lupin waved his hand quickly.
"You chase first, I'll look in the opposite direction—" he said, "Lenny is obviously only one person, then she must have hidden the children somewhere, and then she will act alone. Lead the other person away."
In this case, Lena will definitely make her sister's safety a priority, but Lupin must also take responsibility for the children. In fact, half of his judgment can only be said to be speculation, but to talk about the possibility of the other half, it is the development he least wants to see.
"Well, leave it to you, but you have to be careful!"
In the moment when Sirius spoke~IndoMTL.com~Lena had turned over from the broken window and jumped out. Had it not been for the limitations of the werewolf itself, it would be difficult for even her innate blood to transform in the daytime, she would have left the two of them and ran to save herself.
But she also knew in her heart that under the blue sky and white clouds, her combat power was determined to be inferior to a wizard holding a magic wand to cast a spell. To save her sister, she must use the power of others.
The attack on the children is certainly not a trivial matter, not to mention that the children were rescued by Maca in the first place. As Lupin ran to the other side of the window, he was also thinking about it. After he found the children, he had to go back to the Old Black House and send a letter to Hogwarts.
Suddenly, a bang made Lupin, who had just jumped out of the window, turned his head subconsciously. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel a little certain. In terms of distance, Lena and Sirius shouldn't run that far, so it might be the noise made by Lennie.
At least, it seems to be able to confirm a person who is still alive first-even if it may be the same as him, it is a kind of alien that looks like an ordinary person, but in fact it cannot be called a "human".
Throwing aside the complex feelings in his mind, Lupin speeded up his running speed again, and at the same time watched carefully around him.
