Bang bang - bang - "

A knock on the door rang out on the streets of London, but even though Ginny's hand hurt from knocking, the familiar door was still unattended.

No, not even the slightest response, as if there was no one on the other side of the door.

“…… Hermione? What to do? ”

The Leaky Cauldron Bar, which has always been bustling, now seems to be gone. The bar's black oak door was slammed shut, and even when someone knocked on the door, there was no response.

It's as if even Tom, the owner of the bar, has left it.

"Maybe it's to keep the fog out of Diagon Alley, so the Ministry of Magic simply sealed it off?" Hermione thought for a moment, but quickly shook her head, "No, it stands to reason that this should be a temporary shelter - when the disaster struck London last time, the Leaky Cauldron and St. Mungo's were the only two shelters in the city!" It's impossible to think about it this time, and suddenly decide to lock it down. ”

Thinking about it, she simply stretched out her wand and aimed the tip of the wand at the location of the door lock, intending to see if she could open it from the outside first.

But to be honest, Hermione didn't really have a lot of confidence in picking the lock.

However, it was just a simple "Alajo Cave Open", and the door of the Leaky Cauldron Bar opened with a soft "click".

"Huh?"

As soon as they saw the door open, they hurried into the bar, although they thought it seemed a little unbelievably smooth.

After a little observation, this time it was not surprising - there was indeed no one in the bar, from the bar counter to the small round tables for guests, and the whole bar was in a rare dead silence.

It is worth mentioning that the closed door seems to have been closed only after the fact, as the bar is also filled with a rather thick fog. It's just that the amount of fog is not as much as the outside that seems to cover the sky and the sun.

In order to reduce the gray fog and reduce visibility in the bar, Hermione backhanded the oak door shut.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Luna stretched her neck, frowning as if she had smelled something.

"Do you smell anything?"

"What?" Ron sniffed it too, but it didn't take long for him to scratch his head in confusion, "No?" Well...... If you have to say it, it's the smell of alcohol, right? And that musty smell that old Tom couldn't get rid of......"

However, Ginny, who was beside him, frowned immediately.

"It's a strange smell, like ...... The smell of blood? Her expression became more and more serious, and her heart became a little more worried.

This is, Hermione actually raised her eyebrows, and beckoned a few friends and said:

"I smell it too, is it from the stairs? Someone could have been injured...... Upstairs! Let's go up and see ......."

It didn't take long for the three girls to seem to determine the direction of the smell, and they ran towards the stairs that led to the guest room on the second floor, and Ron couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Is my nose broken? Or are girls inherently more sensitive to smell than boys? ”

Of course, the current situation did not give him much time to think about this kind of question, but after a slight pause, he hurried after him.

And when a few people quickly climbed the stairs and ran to the corridor on the second floor, the large blood stains left here immediately proved that the sense of smell of Luna and the others was indeed not wrong.

Although the blood stains in this corridor have begun to coagulate, it is obvious that they were not left in a short period of time, but the amount of blood in several stalls still makes the disgusting fishy smell still have a lot left.

Someone was injured here, and it looks like the injuries are not light, and ...... Most likely more than one person!

As soon as they saw so many blood stains that had turned dark red, everyone took a step back with some discomfort, and then stood in the corridor and looked at each other for a long time.

"It seems that London is not just foggy......"

Since they flew directly from Hermione's broomstick, and didn't encounter any dark wizards along the way, it was only now that everyone realized this under the reminder of these bloodstains.

"All in all, all wands! Let's go open all the doors and have a look! ”

Hermione stared at the shocking bloodstains, said to everyone without looking back, and then walked towards the door closest to the staircase.

Like the bar door downstairs, none of the doors of these rooms have been protected by a protective charm, and they are basically easy to open with a lock-picking charm.

They even found that two of the doors were simply open, and the contents inside were so messy that it was obvious that the guest who stayed here must have left in a hurry.

It's a pity that apart from these circumstances, you don't seem to be able to find more valuable information. Even when they went back downstairs and searched as thoroughly as they could, they didn't get anything more.

"Let's go to Diagon Alley...... Hopefully at least there are still people there. ”

After seeing the misery of the Leaky Cauldron Bar, they now only hope that there will not be a single figure in Diagon Alley like the bar. If there was no one there, they really didn't know where to go.

Moments later, the four of them reached the backyard of the bar with a certain level of alert. And then they saw that the wall of the courtyard with magic was wide open, and they could directly see the street of Diagon Alley when they stood in the courtyard.

When they saw this scene, the hearts of several friends sank - it was clear that Diagon Alley had been invaded, and it seemed that it had forcibly opened and destroyed the magical brick wall that served as the entrance.

After a moment's pause, Hermione was the first to come back to her senses. Seeing that she hurriedly motioned for everyone to keep quiet, and then pulled the other three to walk to the side with light steps.

Once they had all leaned against the wall and hidden, Hermione pursed her lips and poked her head down slightly, glancing hurriedly into Diagon Alley.

"How?" Seeing Hermione shrink back again, Ron hurriedly lowered his voice and asked.

Hermione looked at him and blinked, then shook her head strangely.

"I want to ...... Let's go straight in! ”

"Huh?"

Before Ron could react, he saw a person suddenly walk in from outside the open courtyard wall, which frightened him and hurriedly raised his wand.

"How did you end up here?"

Everyone didn't expect that it was Sirius who came in.

He just casually glanced at the wand pointed at him, and then continued:

"It's dangerous here, and there's a lot of dark wizards in the fog wandering around hurting people...... I don't know how you got here, but I think you've seen it, and even Diagon Alley has been attacked. ”

"That'...... How's Diagon Alley doing now? Hermione asked.

Sirius couldn't help but shrug his shoulders when he heard this.

"Knocked those guys off for a while, and now there's no one outside, right? But I guess they'll come back...... Don't stand here and talk, come over first! ”

With that, he turned and walked back, and Hermione and the others hurried to follow.

As soon as they entered the streets of Diagon Alley, Ron and the others realized why Hermione's expression was so strange.

It turned out that there were many Aurors and dark wizard fighters standing on both sides of the courtyard wall, and she must have found herself watching by a large group of people when she looked at it before.

Oh, it must be subtle to think about!

And among these people, they also saw a few familiar figures, such as Tonks and other members of the Order of the Phoenix, who had met several times in the past.

As she followed Sirius inside, Ginny suddenly couldn't help but ask:

"Sirius, is Percy here? Or did he ever come? ”

"Percy?" Sirius paused, then suddenly said, "Oh, it's your brother Percy Weasley, right?" No, he hasn't been here...... At least we haven't seen him since we came here. ”

At this point, he turned to say:

"But your parents have been here, saying they are looking for their two sons and daughter-in-law. Because London is indeed in danger at the moment, I originally wanted to keep them, but both of them insisted on leaving. In order to ensure their safety, I also sent a few Aurors to accompany them to find someone......"

"Oh! Thanks, Sirius. Ron said gratefully.

When Sirius heard this, he waved his hand indifferently, and suddenly said:

"By the way, don't go - those dark wizards are a little unexpected, and I can't break up anymore. As for finding someone, I've already contacted Lupin, and he'll arrange for someone else to search. ”

"Oh, but—"

Ron was about to say something, but Hermione secretly tugged at his clothes, causing him to stop suddenly.

"We got it."

After Sirius had placed them in a nearby crucible shop, Ron looked at Hermione with some confusion as he watched the other man leave.

"Why didn't you just talk to Sirius?" "You know," he said, "Sirius, unlike other adults, has never been much against our actions. ”

"That's why I won't let you talk to him," Hermione glared at him, "Didn't you hear it all?" He doesn't have enough people here, and if we make it clear that we want to leave, it will only make him feel embarrassed! You say, if he splits up for our safety, and then puts himself in danger because of the lack of strength in defense......"

"Ahh That's not good," Ron nodded immediately, "then...... What do we do next? Do you want to leave? ”

"Of course," Hermione said, "after all, Percy's situation must be terrible right now!" Before I leave, though, I'd like to go and ask someone about the situation—remember what Sirius had just mentioned? There seem to be a lot of very dangerous dark wizards out there! ”
