Safina didn't make it to Harry's team after all.

No matter what she said, she couldn't convince Hermione and Harry, after all, this first reconnaissance mission was full of unknowns, and it would be a burden to go alone. Hermione had already identified the most suitable team player, and there was no way to change that.

After Safina left with depression, the friends discussed the details of Harry's trip again—they were naturally quite familiar with the UK, what route to choose, and where to leave a way out. After brainstorming, ideas popped out of everyone's mouths, and then Hermione analyzed and screened them one by one.

It was not until late at night that the big ones went back to the room arranged by Madame Maxim and slept well.

Of course, there must be very few people who can sleep peacefully this night.

It wasn't until four o'clock in the morning the next morning that everyone got up early, and everyone went together to send Harry and the others to the school gate. After leaving the campus confines of Beauxbatons, Hermione, who was not very reassured, couldn't help but re-advise.

"Alright, Hermione!" Harry held the Gryffindor sword in one hand and urged, "Go back with everyone!" It's still early, and I think you'd better rest a little longer. ”

"Especially Hermione, didn't you- Mr. Butler come last night? Those of us at Hogwarts also have a representative to persuade other forces to form a rebellion alliance, and this is obviously up to you. I don't think you'll have a lot of work to do! ”

"Well," Hermione nodded, "then...... Be careful yourself, and remember to evacuate if you can't handle the danger - your safety comes first compared to the results of the investigation, understand? ”

"I see."

After Harry had given him a final answer, he turned and beckoned:

"Let's go!"

……

According to the discussion last night, Harry and the others finally decided to abandon all means of movement that relied on magic to enter the United Kingdom after going to a seaport that was closer to the United Kingdom.

So, on the premise of avoiding detection by Helbo as much as possible, they decided to take a boat.

It stands to reason that the closest port city in France to Britain is the original city of Calais. However, since the landing from Canterbury, opposite the city of Calais, was too close to London, it was obviously necessary to enter England from a different place in order to reduce the possibility of encountering Helpo directly.

As the space closed, Harry and a group of five appeared near the commercial port of Cherbourg, France—they had come through the portkeys provided by Madame Maxim.

According to the plan, they should then get a ship to leave the port and sail north, cross the English Channel longitudinally, and disembark in the English city of Weymouth.

However, as soon as they arrived, they found that the harbor not far away was sparsely populated, and there was no such thing as the loud crowd that was common in the early morning of the port.

It can be seen that although there are large and small cargo ships moored in the harbor, there are almost no crew members on board.

"Let's go! Anyway, go find someone and ask first. ”

Harry beckoned, and hurried out with Ron, Ginny, Hannah, and Neville from the roof of the portkey, all the way to the harbor.

"There's a guy over there, you wait here, I'll go over and ask."

Seeing someone driving a forklift to the warehouse area not far away, Ron drew his wand and walked briskly towards the other party - this is still France after all, and there is no need to restrict the use of spells.

"Hello! Hey, buddy? Do you understand English......"

It didn't take long for Ron to reach out his wand and point into the open window, then pull the door open and squeeze into the driver's seat.

A moment later, the forklift slowly drove up in front of them.

"Harry," Ron said, poking his head out of the window, shaking his head, "this big brother only speaks French!" I asked, but I didn't understand anything. ”

"And what are you still letting him drive over?" When Ginny heard this, she immediately said, "Don't hurry down yet!" ”

After Ron jumped out of the high driver's seat, Harry watched the confused-looking freight worker drive away in a forklift, and then frowned:

"Actually, I think it's probably closed here because of safety issues! The current situation in Britain is not a secret rumor in the Muggle world, and the Strait in Cherbourg is across the channel from the United Kingdom, and it is a normal decision to blockade the port. ”

"What then?" Neville scratched his head and said, "Why don't we ride a broomstick over there?" After all, none of us know how to sail. ”

Harry listened and couldn't help but groan for a while, then nodded his head and said:

"That's all there is to it...... Although Hermione said that broomsticks would definitely leave traces of magic, as long as we stopped using them before entering the fog, Helbo would not be able to find out no matter how powerful they were...... Well, probably? ”

"Wait, I say......" Suddenly, Ron whispered, "Why don't you let me see if I can start the ship?" You know, my dad tinkered with a Muggle car at home, and I've driven that thing - maybe I can drive a boat, too? ”

"Shut up!"

Ginny pushed him aside angrily, then waved her hand and said:

"So be it! Ride a broomstick past. ”

"Aren't I also thinking about our safety?" Ron grimaced, "Also, Ginny...... You seem to be looking more and more like Hermione! ”

As they were saying this, they suddenly saw Harry jerk his head and look in the direction he had come, followed by another startling.

"That's?"

Seeing this, the remaining four people also turned around and took a look.

I saw a figure walking towards them, with a mask on his face that made everyone feel very familiar.

"Miss Goverfinn, why are you here?"

They didn't expect that Safina would appear here directly after being rejected.

"Because you won't take me! So I'll have to come on my own—" she said, as she walked this way, "and it looks like you're in some minor trouble?" Need my help? ”

When Harry and the others heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other a few times, obviously not knowing what to say.

"Miss Gaufein, you-"

"Oh! Do you want me to go back like this? Safina walked up to Harry and stood still, then said earnestly, "If you still don't want to take me, then I'll have to go to England myself—you know, I have to go anyway." ”

Safina didn't wait for Harry to answer, and turned to walk towards the harbor.
