The streets were quiet, and apart from their group of refuge refugees from St. Mungo, the once noisy streets were deserted.

Yes, even the fighting that has been going on for the past few days is no longer happening. If it weren't for the mottled bloodstains on the streets and the collapsed and damaged buildings beside the roads as reminders of what had happened not long ago, everyone would almost have thought that the dangers of the previous days were just a terrible dream.

However, the reality is cruel, and walking along the street, everyone can't help but be terrified by the mess around them.

Hermione, Luna, and the others followed at the end of the long line, moving forward without saying a word.

This time, according to the words of Maca Jean Delphi, the dean and the president of the federation, Arkinbad, gathered all the people in St. Mungo, divided into two groups and headed for the outskirts of London.

Right now, Hermione and the others followed the first group of people led by Mr. Dean and Delphi to set off first.

By now, their first group was far away from St. Mungo's - and since there were no obstacles in the streets, they were surprisingly fast along the way.

“…… Ginny, are you alright? ”

Hermione was walking when she suddenly noticed that Ginny, who was following her, had a very bad face, and she hurriedly stepped forward and asked worriedly.

"Huh?"

Ginny first responded absentmindedly, and then seemed to realize that Hermione was asking herself, and this time she shook her head again.

"I'm fine, it's just...... You know, I'm worried about Harry. ”

"Harry must be fine," Hermione said, "you see...... Although the streets are littered with horrific marks, the battle is clearly over - we don't know what will happen next, but it's safe, at least for now. ”

"Oh, I know...... I just can't help but feel worried. ”

The two of them were talking casually, when suddenly they heard an exclamation of "ah" from behind the corner in front of them, which made them all stop what they were saying.

And the next moment, the two of them saw one after another shouting on the corner at the same time.

"What's going on?"

Hermione and Ginny both put aside their conversation and walked briskly after Luna, who was also curious.

Obviously, there must have been some problems ahead, causing the entire team to have to stop temporarily.

The three of them were about to turn around to see what was stopping their way before they came to the corner.

"Wait."

Not surprisingly, Delphi, who was standing there to prevent others from passing, immediately stretched out her hand and said:

"Wait here for a while, there's something blocking the way, and Mr. Dean is leading someone to clean it up."

"Uh...... We can help too! ”

When Delphi saw Hermione say this, he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment before waving his hand.

"No need to go." "It will be cleaned up in a little while," she said. ”

"Oh, okay!"

Seeing this, Hermione had to nod, but she couldn't help but take a slight step and turn to the other side of the corner to glance at her.

Naturally, Delphi saw Hermione's small movements, but she still didn't say anything more. Because she saw that Hermione must have seen something at that glance, her face became worse than that of Ginny just now.

"That's—"

Hermione's mouth was half-open, her face full of confusion and horror, and it took a moment for her to regain her senses.

"Hermione, what do you see?"

When Ginny saw Hermione's appearance, she wanted to take a look, but this time she was grabbed by Hermione's arm, who had already seen it.

"Ginny, don't look at it—we'll just go back and wait."

Ginny was obviously a little puzzled by this. Hermione had just wanted to find out what was going on, but it didn't take long for her to stop her from looking.

"Hermione?"

"Don't ask." Hermione's expression was complicated, "Let's go back to the head of the group!" There's some defense missing, and we'd better not stay away for too long - Luna, come over here, too! ”

She didn't say much at first, because her own heart was far from calming down.

But what did Hermione say just now, and what did she see...... In fact, what she saw was a patch of scarlet in that block!

As far as the eye could see, it was still an ordinary street, but there must have been at least a medium-sized battle before.

And, that battle looks bound to be thrilling.

There was blood and stumps everywhere, nearly half of the houses along the street had collapsed, and the pavement was full of potholes and terrible marks.

Although the battle was long over, just getting closer could smell the pungent smell of blood.

Probably because the team behind this was all ordinary evacuees, in order to prevent them from seeing it and causing panic, the dean would lead a group of therapists to clean up that section of the street himself.

The distance from that street to the outskirts of the city was relatively close, and they didn't want to take any more detours.

"Hermione, what did you see just now? Why-"

"Ginny, don't ask."

On the way to the end of the line, Ginny couldn't help but ask again, but Hermione just shook her head—she still felt a little sick to read it, but she didn't want Ginny to feel uncomfortable.

As for Luna, who was next to the two of them, she didn't ask much.

The dean's speed of clearing the battlefield was very fast, and in a short time, they had already cleared the other side more or less. Although the horrific scene from before was still not completely cleaned, it at least seemed to be acceptable to ordinary people.

A few minutes later, Hermione and the others, who were following behind, continued to follow the procession, and soon stepped into the street that was still covered in blood before.

As she walked forward, Hermione couldn't help but move her nose and sniff carefully—you could smell it, although the dean had cleaned it up, the thick bloody smell was still faintly visible.

It wasn't until they passed that block that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh?"

Coldly, Luna, who was walking beside her, suddenly raised her head and looked towards the fog in the air. Her eyes looked so bright that she could see through the gray mist.

"What's that......"

"What?"

When Hermione heard this, she immediately looked up and looked over there, only to see that there seemed to be something behind the fog in the air that was indeed heading to the suburbs.

When the thing got closer, she seemed to see some clue, and said:

"That's a carriage, and it's supposed to be Thestrals...... Well? The emblem of the Ministry of Magic? ”

Hermione could see that it was the Thestrals carriage of the Ministry of Magic, which was generally used to pick up and drop off some guests of the Ministry of Magic.
