"There are only seven enemies like that in total, which for us... may be considered a blessing in misfortune. At least we still have strong men like Miss Hohenheim and Mr. Blois here, as long as we don't encounter many at once. Yes, the advantage must still be on our side. So, as soon as Miss Geofine comes back, we will immediately set off for the Burrow!"
During the whole day of recuperation, Hermione had obviously thought over many things over and over again. So after listening to Delphi's words, she just revised her thoughts and soon made her decision.
but…
"We'll leave when she comes over?" Harry couldn't help but be startled when he heard this, "Then... what about you? Hermione, no matter how fast your injury heals, you can't fully recover in just one day of rest, right?" Miss O'Fine should be here soon."
But Hermione shook her head immediately.
"Me? No, in fact, it doesn't matter much now whether or not I have this power - in terms of eliminating living corpses, what I can do is very limited. Even if there is a place where I am needed, it must be there. After successfully retaking the Burrow, isn’t it?”
When she made these judgments, there was a little bit of disappointment in her tone. But it was obvious that what she said was indeed true. The gravity rules she has mastered are currently basically limited to the defensive level. If she wants to use them to destroy enemies, there is still a lot to be desired!
"Even...if it weren't for Percy's funeral, I wouldn't want to be a burden to you in the team."
Having said this, Hermione couldn't help but glance at the suitcase in Ginny's hand—Percy's body was currently stored in this suitcase that had been cast under the Traceless Stretching Charm. Ginny also specially added two straps to the suitcase, and planned to carry it until she arrived at the Burrow.
"Okay, let's make this decision!"
In the end, Hermione waved her hand gently, bringing the discussion to an end for the time being.
…
Safina said she would rush back to England as soon as possible, but after going to Beauxbatons, she had to watch her sister Ursula settle down before she could leave with peace of mind.
Fortunately, nothing major happened in Beauxbatons at the moment...except for Madame Maxime's temporary "uninvited guest".
After learning the fact that Percy had been killed in battle, Sirius' mood suddenly became particularly bad, and he even hesitated in a rare way.
Obviously, if some bad news was just for him--even if a prophet told him that he was going to die tomorrow, he would probably just laugh it off. But once this matter concerns others... Sirius, who is still a kind-hearted person in essence, will find it difficult to maintain his usual free and uninhibited attitude.
Speaking of which, he didn't embarrass Maxim too much.
After talking to the other party, he did not choose to leave the fireplace directly. Instead, he temporarily walked out of the principal's office and wandered aimlessly alone in the castle that seemed too empty due to the holiday.
The corridor was quiet, except for the birds outside that were still singing leisurely from time to time. The only sound left was the gentle scraping of the soles of his shoes against the floor tiles as he walked slowly.
Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, always known for its luxury and charm, turns out to be so boring.
Sirius was walking and unknowingly arrived at the dormitory area on the other side of the castle. He randomly picked a window, leaned on the window sill and silently looked out the window.
Until now, he had not considered whether he should go back and tell the Weasleys the truth now.
And it was at this moment that a burst of footsteps sounded from the stairs at the end of the corridor, gradually approaching from light to heavy.
"...You two ladies, we are on this floor. There are several dormitories here that are empty. It will be no problem even if you stay here until the students start school. In addition, you can go to the public restaurant during daily meal times, in case anything happens. If you miss something, you can go directly to the kitchen - of course, it's best to tell me first."
You can hear a male voice talking non-stop, sounding particularly attentive. Sirius's mind was too confused at the moment. Hearing that the other party seemed to be coming towards him, he subconsciously put aside the thoughts that were troubling him and turned his head to look over.
So at the next moment, three figures walked out of the corner at the end of the corridor and stepped into his field of vision.
And the moment he saw them... oh no, the moment he saw "them", Sirius immediately understood why the male wizard who was obviously Beauxbatons was so enthusiastic and considerate.
"So it's a beautiful woman in front of you?"
The wizard Sirius had met before when he came here, and he was the administrator of Beauxbatons. It's just that this guy is considered to be the boss, but he didn't expect that the beauty is still so uncontrollable. It's no wonder that he can only be a school administrator now.
Shaking his head slightly, he saw one of the witches on the opposite side glance in his direction, and Sirius's eyes crossed with hers. He nodded slightly, then moved his eyes away and looked at the world outside the window again.
His own eyes would always give others a feeling of being offended - Sirius was somewhat self-aware of this, and he didn't want to cause any trouble at the moment, so it was better not to cause any misunderstandings.
However, just as he looked away, the image that still briefly stayed in his mind made him startled.
"Wait...that's the wand?"
In the wizarding world, every wand is unique, and they often become a symbol of a wizard. At the same time, the unique details on them are usually more representative of the wand maker.
Just after that glance, Sirius habitually paid more attention to the stick handle exposed from the opponent's waist, and then seemed to notice something.
"Are they McClain's friends... or something?"
At present, Sirius has learned a lot of information about the current situation from Maxim, but Maxim has no idea about Maka.
However, this should be the news that best confirms the current situation.
Yes, the friendship between Sirius and Maka is not just a day or two. Of course, he knows that the guy has always been a bit elusive. So Maxim didn't know, and he didn't think it was that strange.
But now, he still hopes to find a way to learn some relevant information.
"You two ladies, please wait a moment!"
Sirius paused for a moment, then turned around and said.
