Until now, Hermione had been guarded in the middle of the team. In fact, the actual situation is exactly as she said before - with the overall strength of the current team, just missing her does not seem to be a big deal.
In this regard, Hermione remained calm on the surface, but she felt a little disappointed in her heart.
To this day, she has obviously put in as much effort as anyone else, but in the final analysis, she still seems to be a dispensable existence.
Of course, others would definitely not say such things, and they might not even think so. But in her own psychology, it finally became a hurdle that she couldn't get over.
As a person who is born to be strong and never admit defeat, Hermione felt that she might have to struggle with this issue for the rest of her life.
Fortunately, the heavy significance of this trip made her no longer always have the intention to care about her "little things" all the time. Paying homage to Percy's sacrifice is the most fundamental and important goal of this trip.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine riding a broomstick myself."
Noticing that Ginny beside her would turn her head to look at herself from time to time, Hermione couldn't help but say this. But at the same time, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed - she was so useless, and at this time, she had to let Ginny, who was already sad about Percy's death, worry about her.
"Well," Ginny nodded immediately after hearing this, "then be careful... don't worry, Harry and the others will clean up all the living corpses."
"Oh! Of course, I feel relieved about them."
After saying this again, Hermione turned her head again and looked at the battlefield ahead.
It can be seen that the battle is fierce now.
In the dust, Mr. Blois's giant fire snake rampaged through the ruins of the residential streets, leaving scorched black marks on the ground;
On the other side, Safina and a dozen of her men controlled a large amount of black flames, which were like successive tsunamis, constantly engulfing the living corpses on the street.
And right next to Safina, Harry was holding the shining sword upside down, waiting for an opportunity. When the first wave of attacks by the two men comes to an end, he will immediately rush forward and harvest and deal with the fish that have slipped through the net and some of the living corpses with a higher degree of evolution one by one.
These three people alone are enough to equal the entire wizard army stationed in Weymouth... No, it will even be stronger!
There is no doubt that this is a "qualitative" gap - if the power you possess cannot hurt the enemy, then even if there are more people, you can only resist in vain. After all, no matter how many wizards there are, there will definitely not be as many living corpses.
Hermione looked at this scene and could only hold the wand in her hand tighter... tighter.
"Hermione."
Suddenly, a hand gently grasped her fist that was holding the handle of the staff, and then a gentle voice suddenly sounded next to her and penetrated into her ears.
"Delphi mentioned the seven deadly sins before, which I find very interesting - excessive desire is greed, and excessive self-esteem is arrogance. No matter what, if you are too persistent and exceed a certain limit, good things will turn into bad things, and Bad things always have no good consequences... What do you think?"
"Luna?" After hearing this, Hermione turned around slightly, looked at her and said, "Well... yes! That's true... but where is the 'limit'?"
"Then it depends on you!" Luna shrugged and said leisurely, "Everyone's limit is different, but as long as you look back and think about it... when you feel that you have gone too far. , then it must be really overdue.”
To be honest, although whenever this happens, Luna's tone is always a little erratic, as if she has returned to her original self. But compared to before, at least now, what she wanted to express was much more straightforward.
only-
"Your words are still so inexplicably convincing."
Hermione shook her head and couldn't help but smile slightly - it was Luna who had chosen the rule of empathy. Everything she was thinking seemed to have been seen through by the other party.
But after hearing this, Luna just blinked and said:
"It's not that my words are convincing, but I know that you are actually thinking the same thing in your heart. It's just that the reality in front of you makes you hesitate, so it becomes difficult for you to make a choice."
Having said this, she spread her hands and said:
"So, all I did was help you calm down."
"All right!"
Hermione smiled at her and felt that her heart was indeed much calmer, no longer as irritable as before.
And at this moment, she suddenly turned her head and glanced ahead, and then she frowned in confusion.
"What was Harry talking to her?"
The "her" in Hermione's mouth naturally refers to Safina.
When Hermione said this, Harry, who was at the front, suddenly turned back and glanced towards them. Probably because Harry was looking at Ginny and Ron, he didn't notice that Hermione and Luna happened to be looking at him at this moment.
But soon, Harry withdrew his gaze again, then stepped on the road with the Sword of Gryffindor and rushed straight towards the battlefield ahead. Safina's black flame immediately made way for him, allowing him to quickly pass through the group of living corpses and rush towards the lone individuals on the side.
Not long after, Harry shouted as he walked all the way to the enemy's rear. Bulova's fire snake turned into a large flame and spewed out, turning into an amazingly powerful flame dragon. Together with Safina, they began to wipe out the remaining enemy power.
Obviously, the location of Devon County is slightly remote, and the harm caused by living corpses is far less serious than that of Winchester. The two of them working together to deal with the zombie hordes are more than enough for now.
In this way, about half an hour passed, and three waves of large living corpses were all wiped out by the red and black flames, but their team did not receive any damage.
So far, although I have witnessed large areas of desolation on the road, I can't help but feel heavier and heavier. But if I must say it, everything went smoothly.
Finally, Harry, who had just returned from the scorched streets, looked behind him. After exchanging glances with Hermione, he suddenly waved his hand.
"keep going!"
Although a fierce battle ended in their victory, the noise of the battle was so loud that the scattered living corpses around them were still moving closer to this side - this was obviously not a suitable place to rest.
"Hermione, Delphi...are you okay?"
Neville, who was in the middle of the situation, sat astride the back of his Lion Patronus, turned around and asked, and saw Hermione and Delphi shaking their heads without hesitation.
"No problem, let's go!" Hermione said firmly immediately.
