“…… Yes, it's because the fog is the same everywhere that people don't know where it came from, because no one knows where it came from. ”

Maybe it's because of the age difference! When she was at Black's house, Hermione thought Tonks was the best talker among the Order of the Phoenix.

So today, on the Diagon Alley side, Hermione chose her as a breakthrough.

On the other hand, Tonks was also very happy that Hermione had come to talk to him - in recent years, due to the chaos one after another, there were only a handful of young people willing to work as Aurors. In the past few years of working in the Ministry of Magic, she has basically faced colleagues from her uncles, and this life is really boring.

To be honest, if she hadn't loved the Auror profession since she was a child, with her straightforward personality, I am afraid that she would have gone to the director's office to resign and quit.

Yes, the situation of coming to Diagon Alley to carry out the mission today is naturally the same as usual, don't look at the large number of people on the street, but she has no one to talk to. She's had enough of waiting like this.

“…… But seriously, I've heard that the Muggles have already explored the area where the fog first appeared. It's just that because it's not completely certain yet, only Sirius and I know about it at the moment, and none of the other colleagues know about it yet. ”

Hermione couldn't help but feel a little itchy when she heard her say mysteriously—she was already very curious about the fog in the city of London, and when she heard the Order of the Phoenix, the people who heard it seemed to have found the approximate source, and suddenly whispered:

"Where was the first area?"

"Oh! You can't say that......" Tonks leaned against the old-fashioned hanging street lamp in Diagon Alley and waved his hand, "Well, I'm sorry...... At least until we go there to investigate, it needs to be kept secret! ”

Hermione couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when she heard this.

Now that Percy most likely hadn't been to Diagon Alley, the four of them have lost the only clue that they might find each other. And if that's the case, instead of searching aimlessly, they have to have a direction worth finding, right?

So, when Percy thought that Percy had left the Burrow in search of Fred and George's brothers, Hermione felt that the source of the fog should be a place to go.

After all, the thinking of the twin brothers of the Living Treasure cannot be guessed by common sense. Ordinary people are trapped in the fog, and most of them want to escape from the fog area in the first place, but Fred and George may try to find the source of the fog.

Unfortunately, Hermione was wrong this time, because she forgot that the two brothers still had their wives with them!

Seeing that Tonks refused to speak, Hermione was a little unwilling. Seeing that she pondered for a moment, she immediately stretched out her arm and hooked the crook of the other party's arm, and whispered like a pair of good sisters.

"But, Tonks...... Dear Tonks, you're such an appetizer! Doesn't that make me want to know more? ”

"Hmm-"

Tonks listened to Hermione's complaints, and scratched her hair in embarrassment, her hair color seemed to gradually change to a somewhat messy pink and purple color due to hesitation.

"Tonks!"

Seeing this, Hermione secretly said that as long as she continued to work harder, it was estimated that it would be done.

"Tonks, look!" She hurriedly said, "Tell me what else are you worried about?" Am I going to talk to people casually? Tonks, just tell me! ”

As she was talking, her mind moved, and she suddenly said teasingly:

"So be it! I heard that you and Lupin are also about to get married? Now, if you can satisfy my curiosity, I will give you the most special and memorable gift at your wedding! Guaranteed to blow everyone's mind! ”

"Oh, what are you doing with this-"

Tonks, a girl who has always been very smug, was rarely shy, but after pursing her lips, she turned her head and asked in a low voice:

"What is the 'most memorable' gift?"

"Oh! You can't say that......" Hermione mimicked her tone and deliberately procrastinated, "Well, at least until your wedding happens, you still need to keep it a secret!" ”

"Hey!"

Tonks pretended to be angry and nudged Hermione, then reached out and grabbed the soft flesh of the other man's waist, causing Hermione to chuckle.

After a while, the two girls, one big and one young, tickled each other like children who didn't grow up. That messy appearance attracted the attention of many Aurors around.

"What are they doing? Didn't Hermione go and ask about the situation outside? Why is this all the fun with Tonks? ”

Ron looked strangely in the direction of Hermione and Tonks, and couldn't help but mutter. When Ginny on the side heard this, she immediately glanced at him and said:

"Ron, I think you must have very few friends!"

"Who said that!" Ron glared, "I've got a lot of friends!" You see, like Harry, Neville, Maca, Dean, Simon, ......"

"Except for Maca, the others are in the same dormitory as you, right?" Ginny pursed her lips and said, "What's more, you see, there isn't even a girl among your so-called 'friends'—you know what?" I'm worried about whether you'll be able to find me a sister-in-law in the future! Well, that's what Mom thinks—"

At the mention of her mother, Ginny couldn't help but stop, and a worried look appeared on her face.

As Sirius had mentioned, London now seems very dangerous. Even though she knew that her parents were protected by the Aurors, she thought about the disaster she had last returned to London, and she felt that it was not enough to reassure herself.

And when she thought of Percy again...... Oh, she didn't even dare to think about it anymore.

"Ginny?"

Standing not far away, Luna, who had just been looking at Hermione and Tonks' frolicking and smiling, suddenly walked over. She was obviously very keenly aware of Ginny's inner uneasiness, and now she reached out and put her arm around the other's shoulder.

"Don't worry, I have a hunch that we'll find you all soon!"

"'Hunch'?" When Ginny heard her say this, she couldn't help but turn around and said quickly, "Are you finally able to make a prophecy?" Luna, I've always thought you might be a prophet—your erratic temperament is really the same as the prophets mentioned in the storybooks! ”

"Hmm...... I don't predict," Luna said, tilting her head, shaking her head, "but ...... Prophet? It would be great if I could become a prophet! At least if I lose something, I'll be able to find it soon! ”

"No, the Prophet knew in advance that he was going to lose something, so he didn't have to wait for it to be lost."

Ginny watched Luna begin to imagine herself as a prophet by herself, and whispered, but Luna, who was immersed in her imagination, apparently did not hear it.

"Hmm...... All right! It seems that you may not be able to become a prophet. ”

As she spoke, she suddenly saw Hermione's figure—she seemed to have finished her conversation with Tonks and was about to come back.

"Hermione," Ginny hurriedly stepped forward to meet the other, "how's it going?" ”

"Okay."

Hermione nodded imperceptibly, and walked with Ginny to Ron and Luna.

"Anyway, let's go over a little bit."

When she pulled Ginny to Luna, who was still thinking alone, she beckoned Ron, lowered her voice and said quietly:

"I've got some information from Tonks, some related to the Dark Wizards in the Mist, and some related to the Mist itself. Unfortunately, I tested her to see what she thought about us leaving Diagon Alley...... But she obviously felt that a few of us should stay here. ”

Speaking of which, Hermione spread her hands and said:

"So, we can't get her help. There are only two possibilities to get out - one is to sneak away after becoming invisible, and the other, of course, is to convince Sirius. ”

"Isn't there a third?" Ron asked, thinking.

Hermione nodded her head.

"Yes!" She frowned, "When the Dark Wizards raid Diagon Alley again, we can help the Aurors repel them and then get out by the way...... But to be honest, I'd rather the odds be zero. ”

"Oh! Of course," Ron grinned, "this kind of deadly battle can still be one less than one!" ”

"Yes," Hermione said, "so it seems like we'll have to choose one of two possibilities to try first...... Obviously, though, it was really difficult to convince Sirius to let us go, and to get him not to send us this already small number of men! ”

After thinking about it for a moment, she shook her head suddenly, and then said:

"I'll put that aside, and I'll tell you some of the things I've heard from Tonks - first of all, the Dark Wizards outside, most of those guys are Helpo's men, and they're attacking people in the fog of London! But for some reason, they seem to be only targeting wizards, but they are blind to ordinary Muggles......"

It took a moment for Hermione to tell her the information she had gotten and along the way with how the two of them had dealt after they left Diagon Alley.

There are only four of them now, and even if they can use the magic stone tablet to exert their strong power, those dark wizards have heard that there are a lot of them, and it is best to avoid them.

They came out today to find someone, not to fight those dangerous dark wizards.

At the end, while recalling Tonks's narrative, she said to Ron and the others:

"Since we don't know where to go right now, I thought it would be better to go to the source of the fog first, after all, Fred and George might be there. And the source of that fog ......"

“…… It is said to be in a place called the 'Black Market'. ”()
