Chapter 2010: Suspicion Spreads
“…… So, we can talk about everything else slowly—including what the sister said to the Giofein sisters about the changes on the front lines. However, Percy's death, we had better discuss it before Arthur and Molly come over, should we talk to them about it now? ”
Sirius briefly recounted his conversation with Ursula before quickly returning to the original question. It's just that no matter who thinks about it, I'm afraid it's a very difficult choice.
"All I know is that this kind of thing...... The longer it drags on, the harder it gets to speak. "When I was leading a team at the Ministry of Magic, what I feared most was to go and explain the situation to the families of my fallen teammates after the mission to fight the dark wizards. I know that feeling very well – the longer I hesitate, the more uncomfortable it becomes when I have to say it. ”
"You're right," Sirius nodded, "but things aren't quite the same as you were then. You also know Arthur and Molly's temper...... Especially the magic, I was worried that they would be tempted to run to the front line desperately when they found out. ”
Facing the crisis with your children – that sounds remarkable, with unparalleled courage and even some touching family romance. But in other words, it is actually equivalent to "sending to death".
Now this catastrophe is not something that an "ordinary" wizard like them can handle. If it weren't for the fact that they would most likely become a burden when they went to war, with the temperament of their gang, how could they have the patience to gather here to accept the protection of the Blois family?
"But to be honest, at least Arthur is relatively calm."
Hearing this, Lupin finally spoke again, which can be regarded as a more objective remark. But Sirius couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this.
"Don't say that," he said, waving his hand, "neither of us were married, nor did we have children of our own—even with Harry's godson, I wouldn't dare say I could really understand what it's like to be a parent." Arthur was indeed more reliable at critical moments, but this time ...... It was his son who had the accident! ”
Speaking of which, seeing that Lupin seemed to want to say something, Sirius immediately raised his hand and temporarily stopped the others present from speaking.
"There is another thing that I also know from the mouths of the sisters." Sirius said, "They said that Harry was going to go to Devon and take it back as a new stronghold—the girl from the Goverain didn't say why they chose Devon, but ...... Combined with what Maxim said about Percy, I think you should all have some points in your hearts, right? ”
"The Burrow?" When Kingsley heard this, he immediately took over and said, "They...... Maybe this is to take him home and bury him, right? ”
Sirius nodded suddenly:
"That's what I thought, too."
And hearing Sirius's latest information, Lupin finally nodded with some certainty:
"I see why you'd prefer not to talk about it yet...... It's okay, then let's keep this matter from Arthur and Molly for the time being! You can wait until the kids have taken Devon back. ”
"That's it."
Sirius nodded again, and seeing that everyone agreed, the depression that had been stuck in his heart for a long time was finally a little relieved.
Yes, it's just a little bit easier.
"Okay, let's keep this matter in mind for the time being, and don't think about it as much as possible during this time." Sirius said this, knowing that it was definitely just an empty word, "Next-"
"Sirius."
Lupin called him, apparently reminding him of the letter from the Sea Change. Sirius, however, immediately shook his head at him.
"I'll put that on for a while, and we'll talk about it together when Arthur and the others come!" "And, what I want to say next, maybe it will be a foreshadowing for your letter." ”
The slightly vague conversation between the two naturally made the others present feel puzzled and curious. Soon, though, Sirius got his conversation on before everyone could think about it.
"It's about maca, and it's more ...... How to say that? The situation may be more complicated, and all I know is from the mouths of the sisters, and I can't count them completely. ”
At this moment, he said very seriously:
According to the elder of the sisters, there seemed to be something wrong with the Maka children - in fact, they had taken great risks to stay in England to help deal with the living corpses because Maka had taken both sisters to Winchester. Then, by some means, a deal was made with them semi-forcedly...... And after giving them some strength, they left again......"
Actually, Ursula didn't go into too much detail with Sirius at the time, but she apparently didn't exaggerate anything about it. Of course, even if Ursula is good-natured on this topic, he will inevitably bring some subjectivity into his words.
Therefore, although the truth is the truth, it is mainly limited to her personal opinion. As for the perspective on Maca's side...... The first is that she has no way of knowing, and the second is that she doesn't have the heart to care about that.
After listening to Sirius's retelling, Lu Ping and the others couldn't help frowning, and most of them seemed to have doubts about it in their hearts.
"Sirius, you're talking to them face to face...... Do you think what they say is true? ”
Kingsley asked like this, but he almost asked the voices of everyone present. After all, Maca has a great degree of trust in the hearts of everyone here.
"At least it doesn't look like they're lying," Sirius shrugged, "and besides, they don't seem to have a reason to lie in a place like this, let alone an inconsequential stranger like me, do they?" ”
"Then it's a problem." Lupin scratched his head, "The bottom line is that we don't seem to have a way to verify these claims at the moment - on the children's side, we can't contact them directly just yet. ”
Because of Percy's business, they had just decided to hide it from the Weasleys, and it was best for them to keep their mouths shut and wait for the front line to win before they started thinking about anything else.
It's just that......
"The situation on Maca's side is equivalent to the situation on the front line, this matter is ...... I don't know what Harry thinks. Sirius said solemnly, "They must trust Maca more than the rest of us." ”
Undoubtedly, he was also wondering if Maca had been influenced by some of Helbo's methods.
