Chapter 1858: A New Confrontation

After a trip with Harry to observe the battle between them and the living corpses, Miss Statham immediately returned to Hogwarts with the documents Percy had prepared for her.

She had to tell the elder Aslan about everything she had seen here, including the fierce fighting in the south of England and the strength of the new wizarding stars such as Harry Potter.

This world is very different from the past.

"Ms. Statham, be careful on the road."

In response to the other party's return trip, Hermione specially arranged some people to accompany them. One is naturally to add an extra layer of security to their team, and the other is to let their own people go to Hogwarts to see the situation with their own eyes.

After all, this squad that claims to be Hogwarts alumni seems to be very credible, but it is not 100% trustworthy. In times like these, it's hard to be too careful.

So, Hermione had Charlie of the Weasleys join the team on the way back - with his Norwegian dragon Nobeta, of course.

"Hula-"

watched the fire dragon flutter its wings and fly, and soon carried Charlie into the fog to escort the team that set off at the same time. Hermione paused for a moment, and only turned to walk back when Miss Statham and the others were completely out of sight.

"Percy, contact those comrades stationed in the town of Yeovil and ask them not to continue sending survivors here for the time being. Although the crisis of this wave of living corpses has been resolved, there are many more living corpses wandering between the two places than before...... Two teams escorting survivors have already been attacked. ”

"Well," Percy nodded, "I see...... So, do you need to arrange someone to further remove those hidden dangers on the road? ”

"We can send some more men to Yeovil, but we don't need to clean up the living corpses on the way. We are currently understaffed, and the most important task at the moment is to do everything we can to strengthen the security of the camp and to continue the investigation to the east. ”

Speaking of this, Hermione paused slightly, then turned her head and said:

"I'll have to go back to France in a moment - the Muggle side has helped us a lot, and I think we'll have to thank you. So before that, call Harry back! I still have something to talk to him about before I go back. ”

"Okay." Percy responded.

……

When Percy asks Harry to be found, he finds that he is still with Neville, fighting the scattered corpses outside.

was driven back from Winchester directly by Maca, although he didn't seem to care much on the surface, but with his temperament, he must be very unwilling in his heart.

It's a pity that Maca is always right, including this time - with his current strength, he is indeed still in a very awkward position.

Therefore, if he has to work hard, he must work harder.

Of course, when he heard that Hermione was looking for him, Harry nodded his head and told Neville to be careful, and then followed the messenger back to the camp.

"Miss Granger is waiting for you in the tent."

"I see, you go get busy!"

With that, Harry lifted the curtain and walked straight into the tent that served as the camp's command post.

"Hermione, you're looking for me?"

"Well," Hermione, who was pointing with Percy at the unfolding map, immediately put down what she was doing and beckoned to him as soon as she saw him enter, "Harry, I thought about it and decided that I wanted to go and meet Maca in person...... Only, perhaps because of concern, I don't know if my decision was rational or not—you've been to Winchester and met Maca, and I'd like to hear your 'personal' opinion. ”

Looking at Hermione's calm expression, there was a faint hint of impetuousness and uneasiness that even Harry, who was quite sluggish, and Percy was actually a little worried. It's a pity that Percy feels that he is not qualified to express his opinion on this matter, because he is not very clear about many situations.

So perhaps, Hermione was the only one Harry and the others could ask now.

"You want to see Maca?" Harry couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, "Hermione...... Seriously, I've always felt like you're definitely smarter than I am, and you're better at judging the bigger picture than I am. It stands to reason that my 'personal' opinion is not very reliable...... But if you have to let me say it, I probably don't want you to go...... At least don't go for now. ”

"Why?" Hermione immediately asked.

Harry thought for a moment and said:

"Because, I couldn't guess what Maca was thinking this time...... Not only me, but also Ginny and the others didn't understand. Besides, as I said before, all we know now is that Maca doesn't seem to want us to interfere in his plans. So if we're still willing to believe in Maca, then we'd better ......"

"It's better to do what he wants?" Hermione continued his last words, "But even so, I think you'll remember - when Willy saw me, she said she wanted to take me too, didn't she?" ”

"Uh," Harry listened, scratching his head, "too...... Well, I don't know, so you better go as you wish! And then, I won't say much else, except that if you really want to go, then I'll go with you - it's dangerous around Winchester! ”

"Of course," Hermione nodded, "that's what I was going to do...... But don't worry, at least for the time being, I won't want to go right away, after all, there is still some work to be done here! ”

With that, she motioned for Harry to go about his business, and she went on to study the defenses around Weymouth with Percy.

It wasn't until lunchtime, when Hermione had hurriedly filled her stomach with everyone in the camp, that she made her way back to France.

But at this time, she didn't know that Helbo, who had been silent in London for a long time during this time, finally had a new move. And it was his "new move" that directly led to the suspension of Hermione's trip to Winchester.

As for what happened...... In short, the confrontation between Maca and Helmo has begun again.

"Maka, there's a new situation in the direction of London - there has been some commotion in the group of living corpses over there, and there are many evolved individuals led by high-level living corpses who are coming in our direction!"

Inside Winchester Cathedral, Willy said.
