Will there still be Hogsmeade at the other end of the tracks
have no idea.
So if it wasn't Hogsmeade, where would it take them
Still don't know.
"Actually, the only thing that is certain now is that what is waiting for us ahead will definitely not be something beautiful."
In a compartment near the front of the train, Hermione and the few friends she truly trusted were crowded into the same compartment. While talking, they all tilted their heads, letting their eyes be distracted by the scenery along the way outside the window. Pull and pull.
The train is traveling very fast... at least it must be much faster than the speed used to pick up Hogwarts teachers and students during school holidays.
The car vibrated from time to time and seemed a little bumpy.
"Then Hermione...since you know, why are you so anxious to..."
Hannah didn't say all the rest of the words, but these alone were enough for her to clearly express her inner worries.
Obviously, this is actually a common concern of most of the friends in the box.
But Hermione's expression remained calm, or at least she had put aside her previous impulses and calmed down again during the time she was sitting here to rest.
"Yes," she said with her face still looking sideways out of the window, but she took a deep breath, "I admit that when I saw that ticket, my mentality was a little affected... No, in fact, Probably from the time I set foot on this land again, my emotions have been uncontrollably fluctuating... "
"It's not your fault."
Upon hearing this, Ron, who was sitting diagonally opposite, said abruptly:
"Whether it was a long time ago or the days before, this place means too much to us. If we can remain indifferent under such circumstances, that is the most terrifying thing! Speaking of which, I was in a bad mood when I was in London before... I think everyone is the same, right?"
At the end of the sentence, Ron looked around, and everyone who felt his gaze nodded along with him. Only a few people like Harry and Willie did not make any move.
Ron looked at his good buddy, but didn't say anything more. He just sighed helplessly to himself.
Ever since he experienced the "Buckingham Palace Incident", the heart of his good brother, who had always talked to him about everything, had changed again. And compared to the earlier time when he became more determined and brave in order to gain the recognition of the Sword of Gryffindor, it is difficult to tell whether this change is good or bad just from the surface.
But in terms of combat strength alone, Harry has definitely become stronger now, and he is dedicated to ending this terrible disaster. If it was just to pursue a better future, there is no doubt that Harry, who is now so calm that he is somewhat cold and firm that he can be called stubborn, can bring more reliability and peace of mind to everyone.
However, it must be said that at least Ron still hopes that his good buddy can return to the person he used to be, sometimes impulsive and sometimes calm, and most importantly, more straightforward, friendly and laughing.
It's a pity that his good brother didn't see his sigh at this moment. He still just held the Gryffindor sword and sat in the corner of the box closest to the aisle, lowering his head slightly and silently wiping the sword body and blade. Reflecting the cold light.
And during the brief moment when Ron was distracted, Hermione, who was sitting by the window with her head tilted, said something else. Her words were mostly about preparations for battle. At the end, she returned to the original topic.
"In short, no matter whether this decision is right or wrong, what we have to do next is just to face it calmly." She said this, and then paused before turning to, "What's more, in fact, I don't entirely think that the decision I made impulsively before was definitely wrong - we must pursue the clue of 'ticket', and facing this important task full of unknowns and dangers, Rather than leaving it to others, it would be better to leave it to us, the so-called elite combatants, right?"
"Indeed... it's true." Hannah and others who were very worried just now heard this, thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
"so."
Hermione pursed her lips, finally looked away from the window, looked at everyone in the box and said:
"Don't worry, don't be afraid, just do whatever you want. There is no change in our course of action. Stay vigilant and wait for new changes!"
…
While Hermione and others were sitting around and talking in the box next door, Maka, who was only sitting here with a few people from the three major families, could naturally hear their conversation.
After all, it was obvious that Hermione's words were not only addressed to her friends, but also to indirectly appease these "collaborators" on Maka's side.
And the fact that she didn't put a silencing spell on the walls of the box was the biggest proof.
Of course, the words of Hermione and the others next door did not trigger a discussion among the people opposite Maka - knowing that the sound insulation between the boxes was not good, these usually cautious guys could not talk casually! Not to mention, the person sitting opposite them right now is Maka.
Maka herself, on the other hand, suddenly frowned slightly after listening to the conversation between Hermione and the others next door. The three people sitting opposite were confused, but their hearts beat secretly.
Sarah, who had been following him, was now sitting next to him. Although she didn't look at Maka's face, she seemed to be aware of the other person's emotions, and then she suddenly opened her lips slightly and whispered:
"Do you want me to remind you?"
After Maka heard this, she thought about it and nodded.
The next moment, the three people on the opposite side saw the girl next to him put one hand on the ground and put her feet on the ground, then dragged the half-finished doll out of the open door of the box, turned around and headed forward.
Soon, Sarah's delicate yet uniquely calm voice came through through the compartment wall.
"Hermione, since you have already noticed it, why did you subconsciously ignore it?"
"Sarah?" Ginny's voice followed, "Uh, what do you mean?"
Then, after just a brief pause, Hermione suddenly said before Sarah could speak again: "Are you saying that our emotional changes... are actually problematic? It's not just what Ron said. , is it just the influence of experience and memories?”
At this moment, Harry, who had not nodded with everyone just now, suddenly interrupted:
"My mood didn't change... but I didn't feel any impact."
His voice was slightly hoarse, but still clear and firm.
