Chapter 1423: The Corner of Laughter Is Heavy
"Let's go, let's go inside! Although it was a little dark, there was a street lamp after passing through the stone gate in the corner...... Watch your step......"
In the ruins of the Abbey of St. Augustine, several Ministry of Magic staff members are guiding the procession inside. And perhaps in order to minimize the likelihood of detection, the Ministry of Magic has given up on adding light to the surrounding roads, even though the surrounding roads have been enchanted without blind spots.
Right now, the sky has become very dark, and even the sunset on the western mountains is almost completely gone. And in this dilapidated monastery, it is naturally even more dark. Although the Ministry of Magic staff also made a point to remind everyone to pay attention to their feet, the low cries of people stepping on their toes or stepping on their shoes were still one after another.
In particular, Ron's previous kick by Ginny was like an omen, and since he had followed the team into the dark convent, he had been stepped on six times in a row in more than ten minutes.
"Oh...... Getting rid of the gentle lifting and handling of your walks, I feel like my fingernails are about to crack open! Be careful...... Little ......"
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly "snorted" again, and the wail trembled in pain.
But Ginny, who was following him, slapped him the back, pouted and said:
"Didn't you say before that you weren't afraid of getting hurt now? Doesn't it say that there is some 'self-healing ability'? If you can really heal yourself, it's okay to step on it! ”
As she said that, the hand that had just slapped Ron on the back grabbed the hem of his shirt and pulled him back a little step in front of her.
At the same time, she couldn't help but mutter:
"If you don't want to be stepped on, don't follow so closely! It's strange that you arch forward so vigorously that you don't get stepped on your toes! ”
"Oops...... Ginny, thank you ......"
Ron had just turned around and wanted to thank him with a touched face. But in the darkness, he saw Ginny glaring at him vaguely, and then grabbed Harry's arm beside him and squeezed it to the side, as if he was disgusted with Ron.
"Don't get me wrong, I didn't care about you! Harry, who cares about me and only cares about me, I just don't want to hear you cry in front of me anymore, it's noisy! ”
When Ron heard this, he couldn't help but turn his head away with a sad face, and sighed at Fred, who was walking on his right.
"Look! You said Ginny would be nicer to me now, but you saw it."
While sighing like this, the bitterness on his face quickly disappeared, and instead showed a slight snicker. Fred looked at his smug face and grimaced at him.
"Don't worry," he whispered, "Ginny has Harry, but what about you?" ”
"Oh, that's it!" Ron pursed his lips and pondered, "I'm not the only one left in our family!" Charlie and Bill are still single! Ah yes, and Percy"
“…… I have a girlfriend. ”
Coldly, Percy's voice came faintly from the left.
"Well, at least before falling asleep...... I'm going to look for it when I'm in Spiral Town in a while! Penelope's home is just off Diagon Alley, and it may be inside now! ”
"Ugh"
Yes, after Percy himself mentioned this, Ron also remembered that summer vacation when Ron was in the second grade, Percy spent the whole vacation in the room writing letters to the girl, and the relationship between the two seemed to be very hot at that time.
It's just that it's been so long now, and the girl who was still a Ravenclaw prefect back then will still be worried about Percy, who has lost news soon after graduation, for the past few years?
Oh! At least from the fact that the other party has never been to the Burrow in the past few years, it can be seen that Percy's old relationship is probably a bit hanging!
"Okay," Ron was stunned for a moment, but finally shrugged his shoulders and said, "Percy doesn't count, then Bill and Charlie are all right, right?" ”
"Bill seems to have been communicating with a girl, huh?" George, who was not far away, suddenly turned his head and raised his eyebrows, "I heard that his pen pal is still an enthusiastic and active French girl!" ”
"Oh no"
This time Ron really couldn't stand it.
"Bill had so many girls who pursued him, but he rejected them all, I thought ...... I thought ......"
"Why?"
Seeing Fred's teasing expression, Ron immediately realized that he could never go any further. Otherwise, the affair he had been liked by the boys earlier would have been known to all the evacuees here.
"No, no, don't look at me like that...... Nothing! Can't I shut up? ”
Before the words fell, Ginny behind him snickered and muttered:
"It's long overdue!"
While the Weasley siblings were laughing in the dark rumbling crowd, Hermione, who was walking a little further in the line, was a little silent.
Of course, she didn't have a problem with Ron's frolic. On the contrary, she was actually very happy to see that everyone was still so cheerful after going through so many dangers.
Somehow, however, she was a little confused by what was supposed to be a very relaxed atmosphere.
She had been busy helping the patient transfer before, but now she was also taken over by the Aurors and Dark Wizard Strikers sent by the Ministry of Magic, not to mention her, even Harry and Neville didn't need to bother.
And this should be a good thing for them, after all, it is also a very stressful task to transfer those patients who cannot follow the manifest followers!
"Is it because you're suddenly idle in the busy?"
Hermione pondered silently, and after a moment, she shook her head as if she understood something.
"No, it's more than that...... It's time to settle down in the new town, and it looks like we're not going to have anything to do with it...... Is it for this reason? ”
To be honest, Hermione, though she has always worked hard, is not all for the sake of others, for Maca and her friends. In her efforts, there is still a part of the subconscious that takes her fate into her own hands.
Now, Helbo's problem is still unsolved, but she probably can't intervene, and even if Maca allows it, she probably won't allow it herself, because she knows that she doesn't have the ability to face Helbo directly.
And it is clear that you cannot control your own destiny in your own hands, but leave it to someone else, which is undoubtedly very disturbing.
Hermione shook her head so vigorously that her long, curly chestnut hair shook with it.
"Maka, I believe you...... Yes! I'm sure you ......."
