Chapter 1453: Exposed
Maca had thought that with Neville's temperament, he should be able to help him stop Harry and the others who might want to go to London. That's why he tried to make that request to the other party.
And to be honest, if Neville had known in advance that Neville would hesitate, he would never have said it.
After all, if he had asked Neville to stop Harry and had been told to Hermione by Neville, with Hermione's cleverness and the fact that she was already hesitating, Sirius's side would not have been able to hide the situation at all.
So before finally separating from Neville, although Maca took care of the other party's mood and left the final judgment to Neville to decide, she actually regretted it rarely.
If I had known, I wouldn't have made that kind of superfluous plan!
However, in short, Maca quickly put the matter aside for a while, and then immediately put her mind on examining the injured as soon as she entered the observation room.
In any case, in order to understand the real situation in the London fog as soon as possible, the examination of these two injured patients is always the first priority.
……
While Maca was preoccupied with the matter at hand, Neville, who had just walked out of the gate of St. Mungo, was still hesitant.
Maca's words before obviously shook him.
Neville was no doubt that Neville was anything but stupid, and even in the past when he was not as conscious as he is now, he was just a pure introversion and a little forgetfulness due to constant nervousness.
As for the fact that "Maca asked herself to stop Harry from going to London", although it is impossible to think of Sirius, she is still aware of some possibilities.
For example...... In order to relieve some pressure for Maca, Hermione has not given up the idea of "doing something" in the fog until now?
Seriously, going blindly to the most dangerous place at the moment, Neville would definitely not agree with this, and Maca actually guessed accurately, because Neville was indeed the "most measured" of the group.
However, his experiences over the years had clearly taught him a very important fact that there were times when a strong sense of adventure was required, and this was an important personal quality that Gryffindor House stood for.
Neville, who is also a lion cub, is not obvious in this regard, after all, he has always belonged to the "brave but cautious" type.
But after all, maybe the urge to take risks has been sleeping somewhere in his body, right?
Before he knew it, Neville, who had been thinking hard all the way, slowly came to the vicinity of the square according to the route. Even though the streets of Spiral Town are intricate, St. Mungo and the Ministry of Magic are really not much away from the square, and it is actually more difficult to get lost in one direction.
But just as he was about to see the intersection leading to the square, two familiar backs at the corner in front of him suddenly attracted his attention.
“…… Harry? Ron? ”
Looking at the two figures in front of him pushing each other, barely hiding behind a small pile of bricks, Neville couldn't help but whisper as little as he could.
However, even though he had tried to keep his voice down, Harry and Ron, who were huddled together, were taken aback.
"What?" "Who?"
Seeing the way the two of them looked back in a panic, Neville suddenly began to feel that maybe Maca's request was correct.
Here's a quote from what Maca said when she joked earlier, Hermione aside, aren't the two of them really a little too unreliable today?
"It's me."
Neville replied with a subtle look on his face, but before he could react otherwise, Ron lun lunged at him like a real lion.
"What's the matter, what's the matter?"
Before he could finish speaking, Ron covered Neville's mouth and dragged him behind the pile of bricks, which was only half a man tall at most.
These were actually the few bricks left over from the previous paving of the streets, and it was already difficult to hide the two of them, not to mention that Neville was pulled over by Ron now.
"Ron, can't hide! I can't hide from it."
"If you can't hide, you have to hide!"
Harry was swaying as he was squeezed by Neville, the big man in the middle, tiptoeing on one foot and holding on to the pile of bricks to keep himself from falling out.
Neville, though a little confused, subconsciously obeyed Ron's arrangement and curled up with all his might.
"Neville," Ron, who was also struggling to bow his head, suddenly whispered, "You used to be so big, why are you so tall and strong now?" Did you grow up eating magnification charms all these years? ”
"What are you talking about......
Neville said gloomily, only then did he realize that he should have looked at the other side of the pile of bricks and huddled like this, he had to at least understand what the hell Ron and Harry were hiding, wasn't they?
But when he raised his head and glanced at it, his expression, which was still a little confused, suddenly changed wonderfully one after another.
"Hermione and Lou...... Well? Wait, Ron, Harry...... What the hell are you doing here? Why hide from Hermione...... No, no, let's not talk about that...... Didn't Luna already see us? Look, she's all saying hello here! ”
"Whisper! Quietly, Neville ......" Ron hurriedly pulled Neville back down before saying, "Luna found out that it doesn't matter, she probably just thought we were playing a game with her!" The key is Hermione, as long as she doesn't find out, it's fine...... Be quiet! She's probably going to say something soon, don't interrupt ......"
But at this moment, Harry on the side instantly returned to his normal speaking volume, and said a little weakly:
"No need, Ron."
"What's going on, Harry, you whisper! You"
As Ron spoke, he suddenly looked up to look at Hermione, only to see a pair of eyes staring straight at them.
"Oh," he said, opening his mouth and looking sluggish, "all right! ”
After Hermione, Harry, and Ron were silent and looked at each other for a long time, Hermione finally beckoned to the three of them.
During this time, Luna looked back and forth at the three of them with interest, while Neville was full of doubt.
But to be honest, the most overwhelmed at this moment was actually Hermione, although she almost habitually turned up her face after discovering Ron and the others, but her mind was only about Harry and Sirius.
The thought of Harry if he knew Sirius was in danger...... Even Hermione herself wasn't sure that Harry would be the trigger for the bomb "Go to London".
"You ......," Hermione pursed her lips, "why are you hiding somewhere?" ”
