"No...wait, Maka hasn't come here yet?"
"Maka?"
Percy's expression made Arthur and others stunned, but they still didn't understand why Percy mentioned Maka. Because as far as Arthur knew, Lupine and the others seemed to have not told Maka about the disappearance of Fred and George.
Well, maybe Kingsley has gone to Hogwarts now, but even so, Maka probably just found out about it.
And looking at Percy's dusty appearance, he has obviously been out for a while.
However, facing the questioning looks of his parents and Fred George, Percy suddenly took a deep breath, then covered his head with his hands and said regretfully:
"Before I came out of the house, I sent two letters to Maka, Ron, and Ginny respectively... Oh! I must have lost my mind at that time! I just sent letters to Maka, why do I have to give them again? Where are Ron and Ginny writing letters?"
In fact, when Percy discovered that there was no Maka in the ward, two possibilities flashed through his mind at the same time - first, Maka and Ron encountered some kind of situation on the way together; Secondly, naturally his letter, Ron and Ginny failed to find Maka, so the latter rushed to London first.
Otherwise, even a "waste" like him could come all the way to St. Mungo's. With Maka's intelligence, there is no reason why he wouldn't want to come here to take a look.
After hearing Percy talk about how he sent an owl to deliver a message to Hogwarts in desperation, Arthur and Molly couldn't help but change their expressions slightly.
I would like to ask, how would Ron and Ginny react when they heard that something might have happened to the four of them, Fred and George
Needless to say, they must have come over.
However, in this Muggle city that is becoming more and more complex in the fog, they are likely to fall into some terrible dangers as soon as they arrive.
"Percy, you stay in the ward with Fred and George and talk to Ashley and Mary. We'll go notify Sirius and the others right now!"
After saying that, Arthur tilted his head at his wife, frowned slightly and said:
"Molly, let's go!"
"Son, you must stay here well this time." Mrs. Weasley seemed to be a little worried and grabbed Percy's arm. "Now there are dark wizards everywhere in London, and we won't run around anymore. —Believe me, dad and I will be back soon this time!"
On the other side, Fred and George, who were accompanying Ashley's bedside, obviously wanted to follow, but after subconsciously glancing in the direction of their wives, they finally tried to suppress their impulses. .
After hesitating slightly uneasily for a moment as they watched their parents leave, the twin brothers, who were obviously very different from before, finally put aside their worries for the time being and walked up to Percy and put their hands on his shoulders.
"Percy, although it's really unwise for you to come here alone—"
“But we are also really touched!”
…
Perhaps we can put aside the emotional exchanges between the three brothers in the ward for now.
In fact, as the Weasleys hurriedly left St. Mungo's, their figures were fully visible to two pairs of eyes hidden on the tall building opposite.
"Someone came out again."
"Who? Do you know him?"
"It's Arthur and Molly Weasley - Ron and Ginny's parents."
Just across the road from the red brick department store building, a pair of figures were standing on the roof of another tall building. One on the left and one on the right, they all stood behind the pillars of the billboard, quietly staring at everything downstairs.
What's even more worth mentioning is that one of them's field of vision didn't seem to be affected by the fog, and she could actually see the figures in the street below clearly from such a high place.
However, although they don't know who the target they are standing here to observe is, at least it should not be the Weasleys. Because the two of them only mentioned it briefly, they soon fell into silence again.
After a while, the girl who was not as capable as her companions and had no way to deal with the fog suddenly couldn't help but said:
"We...why do we come here? Do you really think that Martin will bring Muriel to St. Mungo's for treatment?"
"It's very unlikely, but it's not impossible -"
The other party just lowered his head slightly, his gaze hidden in the shadow under the hood pointed directly at the entrance of St. Mungo's, motionless. I heard her continue softly:
"Besides, we have already searched for every private healer and potion master we can think of in London, haven't we? To be honest, rather than searching aimlessly abroad, I think it might be better to come here and wait. More practical options.”
It can be heard from the conversation between the two of them that they are undoubtedly Pansy and the windbreaker wizard who have been looking for the missing Martin and Muriel.
Since both of them seemed to suspect that the fog might be related to Martin, they were constantly searching for traces of each other. Unfortunately, no matter how they searched, they could not find the whereabouts of the two Martins.
After hearing the explanation from the trench coat wizard, Pansy always felt that Martin would not be stupid enough to come to St. Mungo's Hospital of Witchcraft and Wizardry and throw himself into a trap, but it must be said that the trench coat wizard's words still made sense.
If they didn't come here to try their luck, they would have no idea where to find someone.
Thinking of this, Pansy could not help but slowly accept the other party's decision, then she pursed her lips and continued to wait in silence.
However, maybe the windbreaker wizard could clearly see the scene below, but she couldn't even see the place a little further on the roof of the building. Just waiting in this misty gray, even if she is much more patient now, she will still feel bored after a long time.
After a while, Pansy seemed to suddenly think of a question, and couldn't help turning her head and whispered:
"Excuse me... Oh, I mean, can I take the liberty of asking you a question?"
The windbreaker wizard on the side heard this, but neither nodded nor shook his head.
"Just ask! If it's something you can talk about, I don't mind telling you."
"Uh," Pansy was a little confused by the ambiguous attitude of the other party, but after a short pause, she continued, "Then... may I ask, what is the relationship between you and Professor MacLean? Why do I feel, His attitude towards you is a bit..."
As she spoke, she seemed to be unable to find the words to describe that feeling, and shook her head in confusion.
"Well, I don't know what to say..." Pansy said, "Anyway, it seems a little contradictory and a little strange."
"...'what's the relationship'?"
The windbreaker wizard kept thinking about Pansy's question, not knowing what she was thinking. After she thought about it for a while, Pansy thought she might not want to answer, but she heard the windbreaker wizard suddenly say leisurely:
"Mr. McClain is the person I have been looking for... I spent a long time, a lot of effort, and even almost died several times before I finally found him."
"Well, I know, saying this may make you feel more confused. I'm just sorry, that's all I can say at the moment."
Having said this, the windbreaker wizard suddenly hesitated, and then said:
"Actually... you are not the only one who wants to know this question. Many people actually want to ask me for a clear answer. But I think maybe you will be able to find the answer yourself soon... "
"Of course, the final answer may be slightly different from what you imagined."
…
At about the same time, at the entrance to the black market on the other side of London, Maka was taking Hermione, Luna and four others out of the ruins of the gallery.
Behind them, the two guys who claimed to be Haierbo's apprentices were floating in the air without any resistance, slowly moving forward following the footsteps of several people.
"Go back to Diagon Alley first. After I hand these two over to Sirius, we will go directly to St. Mungo's."
Maka walked along the street outside the gallery, as if taking a walk in the mist, while walking on the sidewalk:
"Hermione, I know what you are thinking - but you have to understand that Fred and George are already married, and they are no longer the same people they used to be. Maybe they would have gone to the black market to make trouble before, but Now, they will first consider the safety of their wives and can no longer take great risks to enjoy excitement."
"So, even if they are not in the Leaky Cauldron and St. Mungo's, they must be staying in some other place that can provide safety. And I believe that with the cleverness of those two guys, they may be better than you at the moment. It’s much safer for everyone!”
"Oh! Maka, we already know we were wrong, just let us go!" Ron said with a grimace behind him, "We promise that we will not be so impulsive again in the future... Well, even if we have to blame, we can only Blame it on me alone! You know, something happened to my two brothers, and I was in a hurry... Anyway, Hermione and Luna only came out together to help."
However, after hearing this, Maka said without looking back:
"How long do you think you and I have known each other? Don't I know that whenever something happens to you, you will definitely act together? If it weren't for the fact that we couldn't call Harry, I guess there would be more than just four of you now. Five people came out to wander around together!"
When this issue was mentioned, Maka suddenly paused.
"Oh, speaking of which, I have some good news here. Now tell you to listen, maybe it will make you happy and save you from hanging in the air without any peace of mind!" He said, "Listen well. - Not long after you left, I already felt that Harry was about to come out... I think he should be too busy in school now, right?"
Before she finished speaking, Ginny, who was the most excited, immediately walked up to Maka, grabbed his arm and said loudly:
"Really? Really? Harry... Harry's out?"
