Chapter 937: Inside and Outside the Door

In the blink of an eye, the faint smell of gunsmoke filled the streets.

Harry and Hermione stood behind the church door, silently listening to the gunfire outside, and looked at each other for a long time.

The Muggle army has finally joined, and their targets are not necessarily just those monsters.

Well, who knows? At least they don't know......

"What should I do?"

Harry looked at Hermione for a long time before he asked—even at this moment he didn't understand in his heart, even if he was as smart as Hermione, he couldn't know how to deal with this terrible truth.

Both of them are wizards who have a relatively clear understanding of the Muggle world, so they have at least some knowledge of the military power of Muggles.

And it is precisely because they know more or less the threat that those bullets can pose, that they can better appreciate the powerlessness of bathing in the flames of war at this time.

Perhaps, only a wizard of the level of Makana can still remain calm in this situation, right?

"In short, let's split up to strengthen concealment and protection first, and the Muggle Charm is the first choice...... Also, remember to choose as many spells as possible that are defensive against physical objects! ”

After all, Miss Granger, who was nicknamed a "jack-of-all-trades" by Snape, was able to calm down and formulate a countermeasure, even if she was as unsettled as Harry now.

So, one of them was bold and one thoughtful, and they cooperated with the protective preparations of the entire church.

During this time, the group began to join in, casting various spells around the building, apparently intending to make it a temporary shelter.

However, while everyone was bent on taking a break to observe the situation, little Victor became more and more anxious.

He came out of St. Mungo this time to take the risk to find his family.

I didn't regret being chased by such a large group of monsters before, and now I naturally won't give up my plan just because the British army joined.

Seeing that the little girls and boys in the church were too busy to use their hands and feet, little Victor also followed around the church - he was in a hurry.

"No...... Oh, I'm sorry guys! You have hidden here, I ......" he hesitated, but quickly gritted his teeth and said, "I must go, I hope we can all survive this terrible disaster safely!" ”

With that, standing in front of the door, he immediately reached out and grabbed the doorknob.

"Click...... Click, click, click......"

Little Victor was embarrassed to find that he hadn't even been able to twist the doorknob.

"Oh! Sir, I can understand your desire to get out, for we're here to save people......" Hermione hurried over to advise, "but we also have to value our own lives. If something happens to you, your family is still alive...... This will definitely be even more cruel to them than if something happened to them! ”

"I think he's doing the right thing......" Harry pursed his lips and said, "Seriously, I want to go out and save people now." The thought of the situation out there becoming more dangerous made me worry that Neville and Hannah would ......."

"Don't talk yet!"

Ginny, who hadn't spoken much since coming to London this time, couldn't help but interrupt Harry's rambling when she heard Harry mutter.

"You know, you're not stupid," she reminded Harry, "not to mention now, even when there were only monsters before, everyone would have tried to hide." Think about it, is it more dangerous for you to run out now, or is it more dangerous for other students who are hiding? ”

"Okay, okay...... I'm not going anywhere, I'll talk about it later. Harry said hurriedly.

But on the other hand, little Victor sees things differently than none of them. Because at the end of the day......

“…… You have to understand that my family is just Muggles. I'm sure wizards can find a way to hide, but it's hard for my family...... Especially my father, when those monsters appeared, he was still in the park! ”

As he spoke, the more he thought about it, the more worried he became, and he immediately pointed to the doorknob and said:

"Open the door! I have to get out...... I am very grateful for your help before, and I know the danger out there, but ...... I really can't wait. ”

If he was just an ordinary Muggle like his father now, then perhaps he could only listen to Hermione and honestly stay in this church and sigh for his powerlessness.

But now, as a Muggle who could fly on a broomstick, he was no longer 100% mortal as soon as he walked out of this door.

Considering that his family could only wait for death in the face of this disaster, as long as there was the slightest possibility, he had to give it a try.

"Their hope of survival, only I am left!"

Hermione was certainly reluctant to let him die, but little Victor's statement was not unreasonable.

Unlike wizards, Muggles' survival rates are really low to the limit in conditions like those outside.

Not to mention the accidental injuries that the Muggle army may cause, even those monsters will definitely be more crazy than before under the pressure of war, and the consequence of their madness will definitely be more Muggle casualties.

At present, the number of monsters entrenched in the city of London is too much!

"Harry," Hermione said suddenly, turning her head, "I have to stay here with everyone, so...... Can you go with him to save someone? You put it on my invisibility cloak to use, and I still have Maca's Immortal Elixir here—"

"Hermione!"

Before she could finish speaking, Ginny couldn't help but reach out and grab her wrist.

"Harry...... No, I mean, I'm going with you too! ”

As Harry's girlfriend, Ginny's first reaction was, of course, that she wanted Harry to stay. But this girl has always been a kind person, if Harry doesn't go, it's just to help little Victor and his family.

It was okay to save her classmates before, but this time, she couldn't stop Harry from doing the right thing.

So, she simply stopped stopping Harry and chose to go there instead.

What she didn't expect, however, was that Hermione didn't agree at all.

"Ginny, you can't go-"

"Why!" Ginny immediately said seriously, "As I said, stop treating me as a ......"

"Ginny, that's not what I meant."

At this moment, Hermione looked extremely serious, and she firmly vetoed Ginny's peer request.

"As you know, Harry has the Sword of Gryffindor...... To be honest, I didn't really want Harry to go out, and I didn't want Harry to use that sword. Just ......"

She paused, then turned to Harry:

"You're not just going out to help little Mr. Victor...... You know, we need a scout out and see what's going on outside. ”

"Of course, I'll do it all."

After a short period of adjustment, Harry, a typical Gryffindor lion, had already regained his mentality. Although he was also a little frightened by the danger outside, he was not afraid of it.

However, this time it was Victor Jr. who made the mistake again.

In fact, if he ran out and fought for his life, even if he died, he would only have brought it on himself. But if he catches up with a "big boy" like Harry, who is at best the size of his own daughter, his sense of responsibility does not allow him to do such a harmful thing.

"Uh...... Or maybe I'm not going? No, no, no...... I mean, let's leave me alone! You can't ...... it."

"Little Victor, I think you heard that just now—Harry didn't just go out with you to help you rescue your family."

Hermione could immediately hear the ambivalence hidden in little Victor's words, but she only explained it for a moment.

Now, Harry's actions are no longer as simple as saving people, so little Victor's opinion has been reduced to the level of "just for reference".

It doesn't matter what he says now.

"Harry, I'm sorry...... This was supposed to be done separately between me and you," Hermione whispered as she took the cloak and other items out of her bag and handed them to Harry, "but for now I have to stay here and try to make everyone as uneasy as possible." ”

The rumbling of guns outside the church, the slight shaking of the ground, and even the constant howling of the wind and snow seem to stimulate everyone's heart, making people's hearts beat faster and their palms sweaty.

At such times, no one knows what will happen next, so the stress of uneasiness will continue to accumulate in everyone's minds.

In this way, if there is no one who can be the backbone of everyone's heart and become the pillar of everyone's heart, it will be the most terrible thing.

After the situation is discovered, it will be up to everyone to form combat power!

"I can understand," Harry whispered, "that you don't have to do anything easier than I do, and I think it's harder—at least I probably can't." Don't worry, wait for my news with everyone! ”

"Anyway, don't be impulsive, don't use the Gryffindor Sword if you can!" Ginny also leaned over and admonished uneasily.

Harry's head, the Sorting Hat didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly twisted slightly, but didn't say anything.

Perhaps, this disaster has also brought a lot of pressure to it, so that it has always been chattering, but today it seems to be unexpectedly silent.

"Sir, come closer...... The effect of this cloak of invisibility is a little stronger than the spell, and it is still so big that we can squeeze together. ”

After sending Harry and little Victor out the door, Hermione, who had been calm, finally showed a worried look on her face, but she soon pressed that expression back to the bottom of her heart.

There are some things that are indeed necessary—and in the face of the disaster, she can only say this to herself.
