Whatever the reason, it's a good thing that Blois' actions can become positive. After all, Percy once wished to take back control of the entire Devon County, and it was obviously not easy to achieve this.
But in general, since the Burrow has basically gathered its highest combat power except Maka, and everyone prefers to fight steadily. So far, there have been no difficult situations to deal with, and everything is moving in the expected direction.
The next morning, Blois got up early and went out with Safina without saying a word.
However, at the same time, Lu Ping and the others were in trouble at the refuge community located in the rear area. Needless to say, it was because of the letter on the Change.
…
"Sirius, are you leaving for the sea now?"
Originally, Sirius still wanted to leave quietly to go out and do errands without disturbing everyone, as before. But who would have expected that early that morning, when he habitually transformed into his Animagus form and prepared to run out of the community quietly in the pre-dawn night, he was blocked at the back door.
Under the already dim moonlight, Sirius transformed into a human form again, and then glanced dissatisfied at the figure leaning against the wall.
"Remus, it's not a full moon today. Aren't you going to sleep at night?"
If there is anyone who knows Sirius best nowadays, it must be Lupine. The two have been friends for so many years, and they know each other well and understand each other's temperament.
Just as Lupine had already guessed that Sirius would go out early in the morning, Sirius knew immediately as soon as he saw Lupine that this guy must have been guarding here for a long time.
"Since I went to Hogwarts and became a professor, I haven't changed into a werewolf for a long time." Lupine looked at the crescent moon in the western sky, sighed a little, then turned his head and said, "And , answer my question first—are you going to sea now?"
"Otherwise? Where else can I go?" Sirius curled his lips, looked around again, then waved to Lupine and said, "Come in! Don't talk here."
Before he finished speaking, he immediately turned around and returned to the house, and upon seeing this, Lupine followed him in. Soon, the back door was closed again.
Not long after, in the dark living room, Sirius walked over and sat on the sofa.
"I won't light the lights. If you have any questions, just say it while it's still dark."
Since neither of them hated darkness, or in other words, they were already accustomed to dark places, Lupine obviously didn't care much about it either. I saw him walking over and sitting on the chair next to me.
"Don't worry," he shook his head and said, "You can't leave today... Something big happened outside. So... maybe Professor McGonagall and the others made the right decision to return to land this time."
"Something happened again?" Sirius frowned when he heard this, "What happened?"
"Denmark is finished."
Even Lupine himself doesn’t know the tone he used when he said these words. Maybe it's heavy, maybe it's helpless, or... maybe it's calm.
No matter how bad things are, as long as you have experienced a similar situation completely, when it happens again, all you will feel is powerlessness.
After a short pause, he continued to explain:
"The disaster that was originally limited to the United Kingdom began to spread outside... This news was sent to the Blois family by Madame Maxime, and then sent to me overnight - most members of the Blois family in France. and assets, may start to move at any time, and they decide to take the people of our refuge community with them.”
Having said this, he casually took out a piece of letter paper and placed it in Sirius' hand.
"They take us seriously, so of course we can't help but cooperate. What's more, most of our group of refugees have no ability to protect themselves. That's why we came here to seek refuge in the first place, isn't it? ?"
After listening to Lupine's words, Sirius also picked up the letter and read it roughly in the faint moonlight shining through the window.
Then, he nodded seriously and said:
"The Blois family... seems not to be optimistic about Hermione and Madame Maxime's resistance alliance either!"
The Blois family is a big family. In addition to the head of the family, Willy's father, there is also a family council. In addition to the general direction of family development, many small matters will be decided by the members of the family council, unless the head of the family expresses his attitude personally.
There are so many trivial matters for a big family that Blois cannot handle alone. In most cases, what he does is just put a mark on the parliamentary resolution to pass or not.
But now that Mr. Blois himself has gone to the Burrow, the decision can only be made by the members of the Blois Family Council.
As for the old butler... In the final analysis, he is just a butler. According to the rules, he can only make suggestions at most.
Of course, in today's Blois family, his words should still be very effective - at least, Sirius seems to think so.
"In other words," he flicked the letter in his hand and said, "Steward Blois... and even the head of the Blois family may have been preparing to give up on following up on this resistance war."
"Yes!" Lu Ping couldn't help but nodded when he heard this, "Should I say 'fortunately'? Fortunately, the Blois family has never done anything secretly, and they still trust us and take care of us... otherwise , burdens like us will definitely be abandoned."
As he said this, he waved his hand again.
"Of course, I'm not actually here to discuss this with you this time - I want to say that since something has happened in Denmark, which is across the North Sea from the UK, it is very likely that the Change at sea will also change. It is no longer safe. Didn’t we speculate before that something might have happened to Professor McGonagall? Now it seems that the possibility is indeed very high."
"Well," Sirius nodded, "That's why I have to go there as soon as possible to see the actual situation?"
"Then what?" Lupine suddenly asked, "Since Professor McGonagall can still send a letter, and since the letter did not mention any accidents, and only said that they would consider returning to land, this means that at least the Change is still in good condition. Safety... In other words, the crisis has been temporarily over. So what we have to do now is probably not to go to the sea to find them, but to find a suitable place for them to land as soon as possible!"
