"Ron!"

Ron, who was sitting on the ground at the door of the tent, was in a daze with his head hanging down, when he suddenly heard someone in front of him calling his name. He looked up suddenly, but before he could see who it was, he saw that the other party had already strode in front of him, and a pair of old and burred thick leather boots first caught his eye.

This is Charlie's boots, and Ron will not admit it - working in a dragon farm requires a pair of boots that are durable enough to be worn first, and Charlie has shown him in the past that his head has been scorched by the breath of a young dragon.

Charlie...... You're back. ”

Ron looked up at him, but didn't know what to say for a moment...... Especially when Ron saw the look on his face, he didn't want to speak.

Apparently, Charlie already knew the news of Percy's tragic death.

After a slight pause, Ron pointed to the tent behind him, signaling that he could go in on his own - yes, if he wanted to "meet" Percy first.

Charlie hesitated at the door for a moment, and then walked in with an extremely heavy heart.

Who would have thought? Not long ago, the two brothers were still discussing plans together, but when they came back, the two became separated by life and death.

It is often said that the world is impermanent, but this change is too sudden, too drastic, and too cruel.

After a few moments, Charlie finally came out again. It's just that his eyes are faintly red, and the green tendons on his forehead appear, as if he is trying to endure the emotions that are constantly churning in his chest.

If he had been there, wouldn't it have turned out differently? Even with him and Nobeta, it is impossible to stop the invasion of living corpses, but he can at least take Percy off the battlefield at the most critical moment, right?

"Charlie," Ron whispered again after hearing his footsteps come to the door of the tent beside him, "We have decided to complete Percy's will to reclaim Devon, and then hold his funeral at the Burrow." ”

"Take back Devon? Percy's last wish? When Charlie heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then nodded a little abruptly, "No wonder...... No wonder he insisted on staying at Weymouth, I see. ”

After a while, Charlie looked left and right, and then said:

"Where's Ginny? Is she okay? ”

"Harry is with her!" Ron tilted his head at the tent on the other side, "With Harry here, nothing should happen, so let's not bother them yet." ”

"Hmm."

After answering, Charlie finally fell silent. I saw the two of them standing and sitting at the door, and their heads were a little empty, as if a few gears in their heads had been pinned by something, and they just couldn't turn.

After being quiet for a while, Charlie's mind, which had been blank for a while, suddenly appeared with another thing that he had almost forgotten because of the news of Percy's death, which made him startled.

"Ahh That's right...... I've got to pick up a bunch of people, and they're still waiting for me! Charlie hurriedly said, "Ron, what about Bill?" He's in charge here, and I'll have to tell him about it. ”

"You brought anyone else with you?"

"Yes! It's the same alumni from before who moved out of Hogwarts...... The new foothold was also breached by the living corpses. Charlie explained briefly.

Ron nodded his head before reaching out to the hillside on the other side and pointing, "Bill's words must still be in the injured area, but I don't know which emergency tent it is in." ”

"Okay, I'll look for it."

Before he could finish speaking, Charlie immediately left Ron's side and hurried to the entrance of the camp again. Ron watched him walk away until he was out of sight, then he stood up on his knees and walked to the big tent on the other side.

Hermione and the others were making new rune cards in preparation for their return to England. He's almost enough of being alone here, and wants to see if there's anything he can do to help.

……

I have to say, it's really hard to find where Bill is.

When Charlie went to the camp where the wounded were housed, and even after more than ten minutes of asking questions, he began to wonder whether he should go to the grove before to pick everyone up, and finally bumped into Bill, who was coming out of a small tent.

"Bill?"

When Charlie saw Bill, he also saw that Bill was also holding several potion bottles in his hand, gesturing back and forth, as if he was studying the potion ratio while walking, and it seemed as if every second was counting.

"Huh?" Hearing the familiar voice, Bill looked away from the potion bottle and turned his head to look at Charlie on the side of the tent, "Oh, you're here...... Ever been to Percy? ”

"Uh...... Yes. ”

At the mention of Percy, Charlie suddenly became gloomy again.

However, the matter of the alumni who were temporarily hiding in the woods was also about their lives. I didn't think about it before, but now that I remember it, I naturally want to go and pick them up safely as soon as possible.

"Bill, remember the group of alumni who stayed at Hogwarts earlier? A lot of things happened this time, and they couldn't stay in the north anymore...... I'll go back and talk about it, and now they're waiting for me in a forest near Yeovil, you...... Look, can you get some men out and come with me to fetch them to Camp Granger?" ”

"Oh?" When Bill heard this, he immediately understood, "That's it...... Leading the way is a group of old Hufflepuff alumni named Aslan? Of course...... Of course...... It's just that it's hard for me to send someone to you! ”

As he spoke, Bill stretched out his hands towards the camp, which was full of wounded and sick, and then said:

"Actually, if you want someone to help you, you might as well talk to Hermione and the others—or, you can just ask Hermione to see it. If she says that, this kind of thing should help. ”

"Yes."

Charlie said, but still a little hesitant.

To be honest, he didn't really want to bother Hermione right now. After all, Percy's incident had just happened, and he felt that everyone must be uncomfortable, and perhaps they all needed a certain amount of time to sort out their feelings.

Probably Bill also quickly saw Charlie's thoughts, only to see him think about it, and then suddenly as if he remembered something, he said:

"Oh, it occurred to me that maybe there was someone who would be more suitable, and you could go and try her. It's just that I can't guarantee that she'll be willing to help with this. ”
