There is no doubt that every quartet of tricksters back then was a smart person. Vertices

Harry's father, James Potter, was bold, sociable, and a natural leader; Sirius Black, on the other hand, is sometimes paranoid and sometimes lazy, but he has a great talent and quick wit.

Even the little Peter Pettigrew, who betrayed his three friends and betrayed the Order of the Phoenix out of greed and fear, is also despicable and makes people have to admit his intelligence.

After all, he had deceived the entire British wizarding community for more than ten years with a lie that framed Sirius and a little finger of his own.

But when it comes to the four people, who is the wisest...... Maca always thought it would be Lupin.

As a person who has been shrouded in the shadow of werewolves since childhood, his experience from childhood to adulthood is actually heavier than that of several other good friends.

As a child, he was well aware of his weirdness and horror, and as he grew up, he understood the threat he posed to others around him.

So he's always calm, he's secretly keeping his distance from others invisibly, and he's going to make sure he doesn't hurt anyone he doesn't want to hurt.

And it is precisely because of this habit of "taking a step back" all the time that he will see everything more clearly, thoroughly, and long-term than ordinary people.

That's why Maca always asks him to sit in a seat with a big picture, because he sometimes thinks more than Kingsley, who is also good at seeing the big picture.

Right now, for example, just a sentence that Bill hurriedly dropped over could have led him to a series of quite accurate speculations. He saw the sudden change in the situation through Bill's haste, and understood the urgency of the situation after he learned that it was Maca who asked Bill to speak.

Even the moment he saw Ollivander, he was mentally prepared for the worst.

"Your mission is to protect Mr. Ollivander...... And, of course, the box in his hand......"

Lupin found the two Aurors and gave them a serious advice, and then they accompanied Ollivander to the back door of the bar.

“…… Remus. ”

Just as Lupin watched the three of them gradually disappear into the flow of people, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him, in fact, he didn't need to look back to know, who else could it be besides Tonks?

"Hmm."

Lupin turned around slightly, smiling comfortingly at Tonks. He could feel that Tonks was as uneasy as everyone else around him.

It's just that Tonks is a strong and optimistic woman who never shows her inner weakness easily.

"What's wrong, Tonks?" He asked knowingly.

“…… It's nothing. ”

On the other side, Tonks looked at Lupin's secretly tired face, as if he was a little distressed. But after opening his mouth, some words of persuasion suddenly changed shape when he reached his mouth.

It was because Tonks was a strong and stubborn person that she could better understand Lupin's persistence. No matter how tired the body and mind are, the will is always indelible.

Therefore, Lupin did not ask Tonks to leave first, and it was difficult for Tonks to let Lupin let go of some of the burdens.

It must be said that this kind of consciousness between the two of them is probably something that the self-proclaimed "selfish" Maca will find difficult to have in her life.

"It's okay!" Lupin reached over and gently pressed Tonks on the shoulder, and said softly, "After all the evacuees in Diagon Alley are safely sent out of London, we'll talk about anything else!" If the time comes"

Before he could finish his sentence, Tonks covered his mouth and glared at him slightly.

"Don't say useless words, it will only invite misfortune!"

"Oh! Tonks ...... When did you become so knowledgeable about fate? I remember, your divination grades seem to be barely passing, right? ”

When Tonks heard this, he glared at him again with some annoyance.

"It's daytime, and the moon is still on the other side of the earth!"

"Huh?" Lupin wondered, "What do you mean?" ”

"Don't you understand?" Tonks turned his head away and said angrily, "I'm just reminding you, don't start talking before you transform!" ”

"Oh, don't say that...... It's also so hurtful! ”

Saying this, a relaxed smile appeared on Lupin's face, the matter of werewolves was no longer the pimple in his heart, and the moon was no longer the only thing he feared in his life.

"By the way, I think we'll have to go find Slug and Giggs, their potions would be very valuable resources as well...... Although Maca's potions are of very high quality, we can't rely on him for everything, can we? ”

Lupin was talking when suddenly, along with Tonks, heard an exclamation from the Leaky Cauldron. And this also made the ease that had just accumulated in the hearts of the two disappear in an instant.

But, of course, it was clear that the two of them were far more than the two of them who were startled by the sound.

"Don't worry, everyone, stay where you are, stay calm"

Lupin shouted at the slightly comical crowd around him before he looked down at Tonks again.

"You'd better go find Slug and them first, and I'll go out and see how things go!"

"Uh...... Be careful. ”

It can be seen that Tonks is still a little hesitant about this, but she still nodded after all, and took the initiative to turn around and squeeze into the crowd first.

"Guys wait here, I'll be back in a moment."

With a slight bow to the crowd, Lupin turned around and squeezed through the back door of the Leaky Cauldron Bar, and quickly ran all the way through the bar to the front door.

And at this moment, a gray-black flame pillar that rushed straight into the sky from the bottom up came into his eyes, and the position should be ......

"St. Mungo!"

To tell the truth, the "pillar" that seemed to stand between heaven and earth was not stout, and even from a distance, it was very slender. However, the swirling and flowing gray-black flames are a simple and easy to understand interpretation of its terrifyingness.

It was supposed to be a cluster of special flames, and ...... It must be an ancient magic with extraordinary power that modern spells don't have!

Is this a means of maca? No, Lupin didn't know Maca at all, but he hadn't seen Maca use this kind of magic before.

If you change the color to blue and white, or pure frost white, it's probably Maca.

"Who's going to do that? Helbo? Lupin stood at the doorway, looking at the fading pillar of flame in the distance in mid-air, and couldn't help but think secretly, "Hmm...... It seems to be the only one with Helbo. ”

"Smack!"

Seeing that the pillar of flame did not reappear after slowly disappearing, Lupin immediately raised his hands and patted it, attracting the attention of all the frightened evacuees in the clearing.

"Don't be afraid, because our evacuation route happens to be in the opposite direction, so we won't go to the place that doesn't look right, but are trying to get away from it! Now, let's go as soon as possible! Once you're outside, at least the Transfiguration Charm can be used at will! ”

As he spoke, he commanded the people who were looking for acquaintances to hug each other in a group, and then immediately began to march in the direction of the suburbs as she had said.

Naturally, Lupin did not follow, because in his plan, he would inevitably be the last to go.

"Boom"

Coldly, another movement faintly came from the direction where St. Mungo was. This time, the sound was much more inconspicuous, and perhaps the team that had just left here didn't hear it at all.

"Maca......" Lupin couldn't help but secretly say in his heart at this time, "I hope you can go well." ”

It is not the hope of "peace" or "victory", but the phrase "smooth". At this moment, Lupin, probably few people can know what he is thinking.

……

“…… What was that? ”

Because Shicai's gray-black pillar of flame was so eye-catching, even the gray fog in the city could not completely hide it. Therefore, even Hermione and Luna, who had gradually followed the team to the outer edge of the city, saw a hazy black shadow rise into the sky in a few seconds.

"It's definitely not a good thing," Luna whispered to the side, "I feel uncomfortable looking at it anyway!" But...... I think it might have something to do with maca. ”

"You mean to say that Maca is fighting someone else?" Hermione muttered to herself with a little solemnity.

"Oh," Luna said, shaking her head, "I didn't say that, I don't know, I just thought it might be like that?" ”

At the same time, Delphi, who was watching the entire St. Mungo's evacuation team in the middle of the team, couldn't help but glance in the direction he came.

"It's a feeling...... Didn't Dad stop it from happening? She stared over there for a moment, then shook her head, and said silently in her heart, "It's okay, at least Dad didn't get seriously injured because of time regression this time, even if it was against the demon, he would definitely be able to escape if he couldn't beat it." ”

Thinking of this, Delphi suddenly turned his head again and looked at the crowd that was moving forward. She knew that they all had to leave London as soon as possible so that her father could have more options.

It is precisely for this reason that she took the initiative to leave Maca's side temporarily and came to take charge of St. Mungo's escort mission.

"Don't pay attention to the movement behind you, hurry up, we will be able to get out of this fog soon!"

It was the director of St. Mungo's Hospital, who was walking on the other side of the line, who looked at him like that, and was obviously much more relaxed than when he was in St. Mungo.

To be honest, when Maca proposed to withdraw from London, he couldn't help but feel a little glad that the responsibility on his shoulders was too heavy, and with his weak shoulders, he really couldn't bear it!

"Let's retire when we get back!" He couldn't help but muttered to himself.
