Chapter 1497: Harry's Persistence
"Bang!"
"Lupin, the team to exclude the living corpses has already set off?"
The door to the main hall of the new Ministry of Magic building was slammed open from the outside, and a figure broke through the guarding wizard who was trying to stop it, and forced its way into the hall.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lupin! Mr. Potter...... We can't stop it. β
Looking at Harry, who had rushed in front of him with the sword of Gryffindor, Lupin could only shake his head, and then waved his hand at the apologetic Aurors at the door.
"It's okay, you can go ahead and keep watch outside! By the way, bring the door shut. β
It was only after the guards nodded hastily out of the hall and the main entrance closed again that Lupin turned his gaze back to Harry's eager face.
"Harry, I knew you were coming...... What about Hermione and Ron? β
Harry pursed his lips in the face of Lupin's kind and slightly flat expression, and then shook his head suddenly.
"I'm the only one this time," he said, "and we've already discussed, this time only those of us who have the bare minimum of self-preservation are allowed to go out and fightβand since Maca told me to keep the observation room, I let Neville stay there in my place, with the rest of us." β
After such impulsiveness and recklessness as last time, this group of friends does seem to have more insurance and thoughtful considerations. At least if one of them had to go to the front, Harry, who wielded the Sword of Gryffindor, was indeed the most suitable person.
Merely......
"I can tell from your words that you have indeed calmed down and thought about it," Lupin said slightly, "but I must say that this plan has been reconstructed by Maca after it was overturned on the fly, because no one can predict what will go wrong without a rigorous rehearsal of assumptions. β
Speaking of this, Lupin reached out and patted Harry's shoulder and said with a serious face:
"So...... I'm sorry, but in order to ensure the stability of the plan, I will not agree to implement any plans that Maca has not mentioned. β
"I'm not the only one?"
"One more unplanned person, one more unexpected possibility! So...... Yes, no. β
Lupin has basically appeared in front of everyone with the feeling of a "good old man" in his life, and he is approachable no matter how he looks at it on weekdays, and he rarely has such a state of oil and salt as today.
Harry seemed a little uncomfortable with such a Lupin.
After subconsciously hesitating for a moment, he finally couldn't help but say:
"Does Maca have to do whatever she says? Didn't you also say that Maca was also a temporary change in the plan this time, and no one can say if there is a problem with this plan, right? β
But as soon as he said this, Harry immediately regretted it - if he didn't even believe in Maca's decision, who else could he trust? Don't you still believe in Harry Potter?
Harry, who knew that he had lost his words because of his impatience, finally closed his mouth and fell silent for a while.
However, even so, he had no intention of leaving here.
Because just now, after knowing that Kingsley led a large army to London, almost everyone wanted to go to the front line to fight side by side with Sirius.
Yes, there are so many friends and even relatives on the front line that if they heard "some bad news" from their relatives and friends without going there, they would definitely regret their death!
It's just that after some careful consideration at Hermione's suggestion, the friends still suppressed the impulses and worries in their hearts one by one, and handed over all the tasks of assisting the front line to him who hoped to pass the most.
There is no doubt that he is now burdened with the expectations of his partners. If he were to give up now, it would probably be impossible.
Compared with Harry, who insisted in silence, Lupin's mood at this time was actually very complicated. Although his determination to reject Harry was equally determined, there was only one problem that worried him.
That's ...... With Harry's current strength, if he was really determined to go to the front line, he would not be able to stop the other party in the absence of Maca at the moment.
As soon as he thought of this, Lupin involuntarily murmured in his heart:
Jaime ...... Your child has really grown up! He though ...... Well, although he is a little worse than you in terms of thinking about ghost ideas, his magic level can be said to have inherited both you and Lily's talents. Coupled with the help of a brilliant friend like Macklean, I'm far beyond what you and I can imagine......"
Harry did look a lot like his father, but his eyes followed his mother. Lupin stared at it a few more times, and it was almost as if James had been resurrected, which made him miss it a lot.
Needless to say, Lupin was even more reluctant to let Harry go to the front line of the battlefield full of dangers and unknowns.
But just as Lupin feared, Harry today is probably only able to stop Maca.
However, it is a pity that Maca is still facing Helmo in the depths of the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts at this time, although it can be regarded as a guarantee that Helbo will not suddenly appear in the battlefield outside London, but he will definitely not be able to return in a short time.
"Lupin, I know you must be indebted to my mom and dad for their deaths, in addition to strictly implementing Maca's plan...... Thank you! Lupin, I understand that you, like Sirius, have always treated me like your own child, and I am truly grateful for your care and care for me over the years. β
"Well," Harry said, suddenly taking a step back, "if it had been for my own impulses today, maybe I would have given up by now...... However, before I came here to look for you, I had already accepted so many requests from Hermione and Ron. Even if it was just to check on their behalf about Bill, Charlie, Sirius, and the others, I would definitely go. β
With that, Harry turned with his sword in his hand and ran toward the gate. Lupin subconsciously chased after two steps, then watched as Harry slammed open the door, jumped over the heads of the guards outside the door, and then disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"Mr. Lupin? You see...... Do you want to chase? β
Knowing that most of them would not be able to catch up, a guard wizard at the door couldn't help but ask. Lupin stepped closer and looked in the direction Harry had left for a long time before slowly shaking his head.
"No need to chase."
With a slight wave of his hand, Lupin suddenly turned around and returned to the hall, and the door slammed shut.
