It must be said that Luna's method of luring the enemy to delay by herself was not actually a success. She was just one person, and it was obviously impossible to hold back the long line of living corpses for a long time.
Fortunately, Luna's original goal was achieved - during the time when she led the living corpses to pursue north, the Burrow was fully prepared for the defense of the stronghold and even the counterattack. .
As for Luna... when she discovered that the living corpses controlled by the devil had finally given up chasing her and turned around and headed west again, she was planning to go back to Hermione as soon as possible when she happened to meet Safina.
"... I noticed that the queue of living corpses was diverted to the north. I thought it was Blois coming out again, but I didn't expect it was Miss Lovegood who came back from France."
When Luna saw Safina emerging from the east, she noticed that she seemed very tired. After listening to Safina's personal account, Luna understood why the other party was so tired.
The answer is simple. During this time, Safina has been trying to find the location of the "leader" among this long line of living corpses. Maybe it's a demon, maybe it's a high-level zombie, maybe it's something else, but it's actually not that important to her.
All she hopes to do is to find as much as possible the leader who makes this group of zombies organized. And if we can find out the leader and deal with them before they attack the defense of the Burrow stronghold, that would be even better!
However...it's a pity that no matter how hard she searched, she never found it.
But to be honest, Safina came back empty-handed this time, and she couldn’t blame her. Because even Luna, who can clearly detect the existence of the devil, has not really found it yet!
If you want to blame it, you can only blame the demon who led this group of living corpses here, because it is really well hidden - it is clearly among the team, but no one seems to be able to find it.
"Actually, I just came back. I saw that the living corpses might be going to the Burrow, so I wanted to drag them away first." Luna said to her while riding her broomstick and flying west with Safina, "By the way, Safina, I took your sister Ursula to Bill's side. Although it is not very safe there now. After all, there is only a strait separated from here. But in fact, it seems that it is not very safe now. No place is absolutely safe anymore.”
On the other side, after hearing Luna's words, Safina couldn't help but nodded slightly gratefully.
"Well, thank you anyway. As long as Ursula is not left in any dispute or danger, that's enough!"
Naturally, Safina still doesn't know about the drastic changes in the Federation. After all, Luna hasn't had time to talk about it yet. But she had already learned about the Beauxbatons zombie incident.
And when everything seems to be full of human selfishness and the threat of disaster, leaving Ursula in a place that is within reach and relatively safe will definitely make Sarah feel better than leaving her far away. Finna felt relieved.
As this disaster continues to fail to calm down day by day, the current situation is completely different from before.
"Miss Lovegood, I think we need to speed up - if the zombies have already started attacking when we get back to the Burrow, then we may not be able to enter the stronghold."
After saying this to Luna, Safina asked her to put away her broom, and then personally took her to fly towards the Burrow.
…
When Luna happened to meet Safina on her way back, Charlie and Old Akinbad had already arrived at the stronghold with Miss Brandt, and under the leadership of Ron, they returned to the Burrow in the center of the stronghold.
Not to mention the two "outsiders" Akinbad and Ida Brandt, for Charlie, this was equivalent to going home.
Even though the Burrow today is no longer the Weasley home it once was, he still immediately felt like going home when he saw this house that still deliberately kept most of its original features.
"Ron... although now is definitely not the time to talk about this, but... where is Percy's grave?"
Charlie only sat in the living room with old Akinbad and the others for a short while, then he couldn't help but pulled his brother Ron to the side and asked in a low voice.
When Ron heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and then pointed in the direction of the backyard.
"I won't call Ginny... In fact, her heart has not calmed down during this period of time. It's just because there are dangers outside and we have endless things to do every day, so we asked Per Things about Xi have been suppressed forcibly. So... If you want to see it, just go there by yourself! It's not far, just inside the stronghold. You can see it from the backyard... "
In fact, not only Ginny, but Ron himself obviously couldn't let go at all. Therefore, in the end, he did not accompany Charlie, but chose to stay in the living room.
And just when Charlie and Ron went to the side to talk quietly, old Akinbad sitting on the other side was looking at the two of them with a somewhat thoughtful expression.
Of course he knew about Percy Weasley's death.
In other words, in fact, everyone who is qualified to know about this matter already knows almost everything. Only Mrs. Weasley is still deliberately kept in the dark.
Of course, there are actually many people who are not qualified or have no need to know this. For example, Miss Brandt, who is sitting across from the coffee table and is quite restless, is one of them.
Naturally, she didn't know about Percy's sacrifice, and she didn't want to know, because her own affairs were enough to make her feel anxious.
"Mr. Akinbad, I have to... I have to go and make it clear to Miss Granger first... you know, what Mrs. Maxim wants me to do."
However, after hearing this, old Ajinbad couldn't help but shake his head.
Most everything is time-sensitive, and the agreement between Ida and Maxim is obviously the same. By now, the matter has been completely over, and Miss Brandt is probably the only one who is still worried.
However, considering how much life was at stake, Ajinbad couldn't say anything to her - even though the authenticity of the curse had long been doubtful.
"You can go if you want to!" After a pause, old Akinbad said, "It's just that the zombie team is about to arrive. I'm afraid Miss Granger doesn't have time -"
After all, Ida couldn't finish listening to what he said. She could only finish the first sentence, then stood up and ran out of the door. With no one to talk to, old Ajinbad had no choice but to take back the rest of his words and shook his head again.
Everyone has their own things and their own ideas. Miss Brandt's behavior is actually the true situation of many wizards at present, which can't help but make people worried.
