"Everyone sit down and get ready. If an accident happens, we must at least support it until Maka comes back!"
In the hall, Hermione was getting the RA members back into battle preparation to deal with enemies that might appear next.
Of course, even though they had achieved good results in the recent disaster, everyone still felt unsure this time.
After all, Haierbo is an opponent that gives Maka a headache. If that guy stands in front of him, can they really make any difference
Especially in this indoor space with limited space, even if everyone can arrange the rune array as last time, they will be restricted because they cannot make flexible adjustments.
"Remember, just follow the usual practice, a group of five people. Synchronized spell casting and precise spell casting are all taught by Maka step by step. Now it is our turn to use what he taught to replace him in protecting St. Mungo's. …”
When Hermione said such inspiring words, she always had the momentum to talk endlessly, and the effect was usually good. But just when she aroused everyone's determination and everyone was eager to give it a try, Sirius suddenly walked in from the side door.
"It's okay for now. Let's take a rest in the hall!"
It was as if they had just worked together to blow up a balloon, but in the end they couldn't hold the mouthpiece firmly. Sirius's words immediately made everyone feel discouraged.
When Ron saw this, he immediately came forward.
"Sirius, then... what is the specific situation? Why is everything fine again?"
Harry had just gone with Sirius. Now when Ron asked, he explained on his behalf:
"It was the spider swarm left by Maka that successfully controlled the big guy, and now it has been petrified. The spiders are currently staying there to guard the scene, um... It seems that nothing is wrong, but Mr. Victor, he …”
"Oh..." Ron nodded quickly after hearing this, "That sounds good, at least I don't have to go in!"
Immediately, Hermione and Ginny walked over and pushed him aside, asking Harry and Sirius for more details.
After Ron realized that he seemed to be a little redundant, he simply ran to his classmates and started muttering nonsense.
Not long after, Hermione finally asked about the situation in the warehouse.
It turned out that not only the bandaged man who turned into a big man was petrified, but also little Victor was unfortunately "glad" into a statue by the spiders.
Fortunately, as long as you have the Mandrake Resurrection Potion, the petrification effect can be completely lifted.
"Yes, St. Mungo's has a reserve of resurrection potions, but there are two problems now -"
As Harry spoke, he couldn't help showing a look of embarrassment.
"One is whether Mr. Little Victor has been possessed by Haierbo; the other is Mr. Little Victor's father..."
"What happened to father?" Ginny asked doubtfully, "Is he also in that room? Is he also petrified?"
"No, no, he didn't..." Harry said helplessly, "It's just that because his son turned into a stone sculpture, and now he is throwing a tantrum - currently he doesn't allow any of us to get close to Mr. Victor."
"Actually, it's not that I can't understand it," Sirius said casually, "At least I think this is enough. If he doesn't let us get close, then we shouldn't go there... Anyway, those two are dangerous. They’re all petrified, aren’t they?”
"Oh! We can't do this!" Hermione said with some dissatisfaction, "You have never been petrified before, so you don't know how bad it feels... It's like waking up and realizing that you have lost some time, the longer it drags on. The more uncomfortable it becomes!”
Hermione had also experienced the feeling of being petrified due to the basilisk in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets, so she felt a little uncomfortable with Sirius's irresponsible view.
It's just that Sirius's idea is indeed reasonable, and it is even a very sound decision. So after two rebuttals, he put the matter aside for now.
"Anyway, we have to find out the identity of the patient who became as big as a troll first." She said, turning back suddenly and shouting to the crowd behind her, "Ron, what Maka left behind Is the name book where you are? Get it over here!"
"Hey! Here we come!"
Hearing Hermione calling him, Ron, who was bragging with a Gryffindor junior, immediately responded and ran back again.
Hermione took a not too thick notebook from his hand, held it in her hands and hurriedly looked through it.
Maka's notes have always been very detailed, but after only turning a few pages, she realized that it was impossible to start searching like this.
At present, almost all the characteristics of the patient are learned from Harry and Sirius. However, from beginning to end, they never saw the patient's original appearance.
What's more, who knows if the guy from before was among the patients? Maybe it was hidden somewhere and suddenly appeared to cause trouble before
"It's definitely not possible to look for it this way."
Hermione pursed her lips, then suddenly pulled out her wand, put it to her throat, and cast a sound-amplifying spell on herself.
"Mr. Madam, who stayed in that ward temporarily before, does anyone know what happened? If anyone remembers the appearance of the person involved, please come over and describe it to us!"
At the other end of the hall, many injured patients were gathered there. After hearing Hermione's words, the buzz among them gradually became louder.
But the people who were under house arrest in that temporary ward were guys with problems of one kind or another. As for people like them, don't expect to actively contribute to everyone.
Sirius looked at the expressions of those people who said "it has nothing to do with him and he has nothing to do with himself", and he felt a little angry.
Although he has some similar bad habits, he also has his own sense of responsibility. Of course, he often doesn't bother to do things that are meaningless or inefficient, but it doesn't mean that he is selfish and only for himself like those people.
Realizing that Sirius seemed to have the idea of "go over and beat them up," Hermione quickly stepped in front of Sirius.
"If someone can come over and explain it to us, if it is correct, we will reward it with gold galleons!"
"Oh! Hermione, you are so generous!" Ron was immediately surprised.
But Hermione only gave him a casual glance.
"What are you thinking about? It's better than spending it together." She said, "It doesn't need to be more. I think about ten gold galleons is enough."
"That's ten gold galleons!" Ron quickly covered his pocket and said, "Ten! How many bottles of butterbeer can this buy! I have never had so much money..."
"Don't you have a golden crucible?" Harry said with a smile, "Maka gave it to you."
…
While Hermione was trying to collect information and complete the entire incident, old Victor, who was still in the warehouse, could only stay beside his son's "statue" and mutter in a low voice.
Although he has never been afraid of spiders in his life, the spiders he has seen in his life are not as many as those he has seen today!
Right now, the room is crawling everywhere with black and dark green spiders.
Most of them are only about the size of a thumbnail and look uniform in size. But the biggest one was much bigger than him.
And more importantly, this big spider can actually talk!
damn it! It's already weird that a spider can grow to such a big size, but it can actually speak human language... What the hell is this setting
"... It was a mistake. It was a mistake this time."
Old Victor muttered and glanced at his "hard" son behind him, seeming a little bored.
In fact, he had his own selfish motives when he asked his son to follow Maka a few days ago. But he never expected that the magical world would be much more chaotic and terrifying than he imagined.
This can easily turn a good person into a monster, or simply turn into a large number of translucent guys killing people on the streets...
It turns out that all the wizards in the magical world live in such a dire and harsh environment
"If that's the case, why did she have to leave back then? And she left without making any noise, and as soon as she left, there was no news again..." Old Victor looked at his son's gray face intently and couldn't help but whisper, "In such an environment where there is constant fighting and killing, I guess my life has been lost a long time ago, right?"
After complaining for a while, he finally couldn't help but sigh.
This old Victor has been a very strong person since he was young.
The shock of his wife's silent departure did not knock him down, nor did it make him give up. He just waited for most of his life in the Greenwich Park where he first met his wife.
It's a pity that I don't know whether it's because my wife is ruthless or because God is unjust.
Over the years, he went from hanging out in the park every day before retiring to picking up a broom and becoming a cleaning volunteer in the park. After waiting for a long time, he never met the "her" deep in his heart. .
No, not even his wife, not even another wizard.
Therefore, when he discovered that Maka was a wizard from the magic world, although he was calm on the surface, his mood was extremely agitated.
And because of this, when Maka turned to leave, old Victor, knowing that he might not be able to keep up, immediately forced his son out.
But now, old Victor, who has rarely regretted in his life, finally feels a little regretful.
This "magic world" is completely different from what he imagined!
"Hey! Spider!"
Old Victor thought about it, then suddenly turned around and shouted at the big spider.
"ah?"
Seeing that the other party responded, he couldn't help but roll his eyes again - who can tell him how to communicate with a spider
