Chapter 1190: Percy's Trip
"I'm not a wreck."
Percy walked silently in the mist, and this sentence kept flashing in his mind. Although his steps seemed heavy, after all, he had been lying in bed for so long before this, but he still persevered.
There is no doubt that Percy Weasley is an extremely strong man.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so stubborn in his pursuit of position and power in the Ministry of Magic in the first place, even going so far as to cut off contact with his family.
Even though he has experienced so much now, his mentality and personality have changed a lot, but some of the most basic things will never change.
On the other hand, in fact, everyone has to admit that Percy is a person with great talent and ability. During his time at Hogwarts, he was a learning freak like Hermione. When LS took the exam, he took the same certificate of excellence as his brother Bill, who took 12 courses.
Just now, perhaps few could have guessed how he had come to London from his Burrow in Devon.
In fact, since Diagon Alley has already been blocked by Sirius and the people, all the Floo network lines connecting Diagon Alley will naturally be shut down.
Percy, who was unable to reach Dunlun directly with the help of Floo powder, and was temporarily unable to cast spells, finally chose the Muggle way of traveling.
And it wasn't until Hermione and the others had wandered around Dunlun, and even encountered some crisis, that he had just stepped into the endless fog from the outskirts of Dunlun.
However, even Percy was belated. However, his intelligence, which was no less than Hermione's, and his advantage of knowing Fred and George better than Hermione and the others, made him soon follow Maca's search for the first place in the Leaky Cauldron and St. Mungo's Hospital, two places that were often used as refuge in wartime.
Percy believed that Fred and George, no matter how unreliable, would be cautious because of his wife's safety.
And it just so happened that he was closer to St. Mungo's place in the city of London.
So, instead of going to Maca, which was more convenient to go to the Leaky Cauldron Bar, the first place he went to check was naturally the St. Mungo's Magical Injury Hospital.
However, it is clear that because there are many Helbo people in this foggy London now, Percy has a really difficult journey.
In order to prevent those suspicious fellows from getting into trouble with him, Percy quickly discovered that the other party rarely paid attention to ordinary Muggles. To do this, he simply changed into a Muggle outfit, keeping a very low profile and avoiding all the enemies he encountered along the way.
It must be said that his excellent results in "Muggle Studies" are not fake, and he has been pretending to be Muggles along the way. In addition, he really can't cast spells at the moment, and he can even be considered a real Muggle.
When Percy finally walked through the glass window on his slightly limp legs and into the waiting hall of St. Mungo, he himself couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Hello! Sir, please come and get checked - you should know that there are quite a few terrible dark wizards roaming the city today, and we must make sure that every one of the people who come here for refuge is not dangerous. ”
"Oh, of course ......"
Percy nodded weakly, then cooperated to stop at the entrance and hand over his wand, which had been useless for the time being.
"Please stand."
The security officer swept him in front of and behind him with a thin golden stick, and after confirming the wand's information, he nodded at Percy.
"Please come in! Mr. Percy Weasley - I see you're not in good shape, so you should have come for treatment, right? The security officer handed the wand back and said casually, "There are a lot of people waiting for the clinic today, you go over and get a number plate first, and then you may need to wait a little longer." ”
"Oh no!" Percy shook his head, "I'm here for someone - have Fred Weasley and George Weasley been here?" Well...... They should all have their wives with them, and they should be four. ”
"Weasley ......"
The security officer checked the entry and exit list, and quickly said:
"Ah, yes! Mr. Fred Weasley and Mr. George Weasley, and Mrs. Ashley Weasley and Mrs. Mary Weasley, they're all here! For more information, I think you can ask at the information desk there. ”
"Thank you, thank you."
Percy thanked him for a moment, then turned and walked briskly in the direction of the information desk. Perhaps he found that he had found someone so smoothly, but his steps were a little too fast, and he stumbled and almost fell.
"Oh, be careful! Although in fact, it is not a big deal to fall and get injured, after all, this is the hospital! ”
Just as Percy was about to sit on the ground, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and grabbed him.
Percy regained his footing with the help of the other party, and then he was busy trying to thank the other party. But when he turned his head to look over, he found that it was not the security wizard who was holding him just now, but another big acquaintance.
"Professor Lockhart?"
"Oh! Don't call me that way—you know you've graduated from Hogwarts; And I'm no longer the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts! ”
Yes, Percy was astonished to see that the man who was holding his arm was the friend of thousands of women, Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart.
Even now, even Lockhart has undergone many changes, but his smile that seems to be "infinitely charming" is still as bright as it was back then.
Lockhart happily hooked Percy's arm, and happily continued:
"Mr. Weasley, if you will, I'd love to see you call me a 'Good Ambassador' for the Wizarding World...... Oh, it won't be the greatest honor of my life, but it was the one I was personally appointed by the Minister of Magic, Mr. Scrimgeur. ”
"That's right, even if I never talk about this, but during this period of time, doing public welfare work every day has really made my mood better and better......"
Lockhart's words are still a bit of a headache, and it seems that no matter what he has been through, his habit of talking to himself has not changed much.
However, Percy used to be an extremely good-looking person, and it's not that he couldn't understand this guy's desire to be eye-catching.
"Hmm...... Mr. Lockhart, your career is indeed very admirable, and the wizarding world needs an elite wizard like you who can give to others for free to set an example of life and morality! ”
Percy finally waited for the opportunity for the other party to change his breath, and hurriedly said:
"By the way, I think I've got to go...... I'm going to have to look for my two younger brothers, they didn't make it home all day yesterday and I'm a little worried. ”
"Oh, really?" Lockhart seemed a little worried about him, "That does sound bad...... If you need to, I can-"
"No, no, I don't bother you!" Percy hurriedly said, "I think they should be fine, it's just...... You know, that fog out there - they should just have taken refuge here! ”
"Then be careful yourself, don't fall again!" Lockhart looked at Percy's back as he hurriedly left, shrugged his shoulders and said to himself, "Well, what a handsome lad!" ”
With that, he picked up the trolley he had just thrown aside, and walked over to the waiting bench with a large pile of hot towels, teapots, cups and other items on his face.
"Does anyone need hot towels and hot water? If I'm bored waiting, I've got the Daily Prophet and the Contrarian...... Oh, of course! And a new book I recently published, The Wizard on the Muggle Stage, is free to read! ”
……
I don't know if Lockhart's new book is a bit boring, but the information desk in the lobby is very busy.
Those patients waiting for treatment were a little annoyed, and they all ran over one by one to ask a few questions to relieve their boredom, resulting in a lot of people queuing here.
Percy waited for a while before it was his turn to ask where Fred and George were, and then hurried up the stairs on the side of the hall.
This climb up the stairs was so tired that he choked enough, and finally rushed to the fifth-floor Spell Injury Ward where Ashley was staying.
However, as soon as he walked into the ward, six pairs of eyes looked at him in a daze, and their eyes were almost full of incredulity.
"Percy, why are you here?"
The first to speak was his father, Arthur, who was composed compared to his wife, Molly, who was taken aback by Percy's arrival.
"Father......" Percy couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, "I'm the only one left in the family, and I really can't settle down...... The feeling that I can't do anything with just me is really hard! ”
When Arthur heard this, he turned his head and glared at his wife, as if he was complaining about his wife's decision to run out to find Fred and George.
I have to say that on weekdays, he never expresses any dissatisfaction with his wife, but this time I'm afraid I'm really angry.
But even so, Arthur didn't say anything in the end, just walked up to Percy and hugged the child who could be said to be suffering.
Thinking about the relationship between father and son at the beginning, it was almost to the point of not getting along, but now Percy is repentant, but Arthur also has a trace of inexplicable debt.
It wasn't until this moment that Mrs. Weasley couldn't help but hug Percy with red eyes, and whispered:
"Oh...... My kids, I'm sorry! I should have thought more about your mood at that time, and I shouldn't have left you alone at home......"
Percy was hugged by her mother, and suddenly her smart brain seemed to be rusty, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
After a moment, he glared and said:
"Not good!"
