Chapter 1080: A Strange Noise

I have to say that this infiltration method of Helbo is really difficult to deal with.

Judging from what Martin, who was pretending to be a tavernkeeper, heard that most of the "apprentices" he had chosen were scattered and not allowed to have any contact with each other.

In addition, Helmo himself has never taken the initiative to make up his mind, and what the people below do is what they think to do. As a result, those events are almost varied, and there is no pattern at all.

This makes it quite time-consuming and laborious for the members of the Order of the Phoenix to investigate—they are already understaffed, and everything has to be followed up as a separate incident, which makes the pressure on Lupin and Kingsley to continue to increase.

"At the moment, I need to deal with all the things that are difficult in some way. And in fact, the whole of London ...... No, it's that there are more and more cases of wounding and murder like this in the entire British wizarding community......"

After dinner at the Leaky Cauldron, Maca took Hermione and the others out of Diagon Alley and walked slowly down the streets of London outside the Leaky Cauldron.

At the moment, Sirius and the others were secretly watching from the Copper Key Library, and it was best for him to leave there normally, lest some of the "eyes that might be hidden in the shadows" be wary.

And while the few of them were leisurely walking along Muggle Street, Maca was also answering Hermione about the current situation in the whole of Britain recently.

He must admit that the so-called "apprentices" under Helbo have been making small moves more and more frequently recently.

"That'...... Are we going to ......" Hermione frowned, "You know, I mean, you can actually be involved in the investigation. ”

But when Maca heard this, she shook her head.

"No, it doesn't have to be." "What you're going to do now is set up a magical barrier—trust me, that's just as important," he said. As for the recent events, I know them all, don't worry! ”

Hermione still believed what Maca said. Since he would say this, he must have planned it a long time ago, and if he had to get involved, it might disrupt his arrangement.

So, Hermione patted the satchel hanging by her side, and said that she would start working on it tonight when she got back.

"Huh, what about Ron?"

"I've been secretly going back a long time ago!"

Probably because the conversation was all about injuries and deaths, Hermione seemed to be slightly startled when she turned her head to find that the other three were gone.

But Maca was naturally clear about the departure of Ron and the others, so he could hear him laugh and laugh:

"Neville's Transfiguration Charm was pretty good, and Hannah seemed to be barely able to get her out of it whole...... In comparison, Ron is not good, and he needs Neville to carry him with his retinue. ”

"Oh! They're using random spells outside the school again! Hermione said annoyedly, "Even if the Ministry of Magic doesn't care much about these things now, it's for the sake of the crisis not yet over...... They can't do that! ”

"Forget it!" Maca patted her on the shoulder and said, "It's important to get up to speed on apparition - I'd say, it's one of the most valuable spells in the history of modern magic!" ”

It's a pity that he just doesn't use it well.

After all, his problem lies at the soul level, and even if he has mastered the rules of the soul, he has no good solution, and so far he can only replace it with a constantly improved portkey.

Thinking of this, Maca suddenly proposed:

"By the way, why don't you try to use the illusion to go back in a moment! Let me see how well you are at it - you know, it can give me more peace of mind about your safety. ”

"Do you have to do this?" Hermione said reluctantly, "Although I know that people should also know how to be flexible, but these rules are actually to ensure the safety of minors, if no one follows them, won't it have no point in existing?" ”

When Maca heard this, she couldn't help but smile and said:

"I think you're right, but in that case...... Are you sure you want to go back with my 'homemade portkey'? You see, strictly speaking, it's illegal. ”

"Oh! Hmmm......"

Because Maca was used so naturally every time, Hermione had almost subconsciously ignored his use of the portkey to move, and even used it this way to get around many times.

And now as soon as Maca mentioned it, she realized one thing in hindsight - it is estimated that none of Maca's door keys have been registered in the door key office, and this kind of unauthorized production and use of door keys is undoubtedly illegal.

"Alright! I guess it's better for me to use Shapeshifting back to school! ”

Hermione finally reluctantly relented.

After the two of them walked side by side on this street for a while, they saw that they found a random alley that no one would notice, and left one after the other.

Unbeknownst to Maca, however, a few seconds after he and Hermione had disappeared into the space warp, a window on the side of the alley had suddenly been opened from inside.

Then, a little boy looked cautiously into the dim alley outside, as if with some doubt.

"Huh?" He wondered, "Didn't the sound come in from the window?" ”

"Kevin! What do you do in the kitchen? Don't go to bed yet! ”

Hearing his mother's shouts behind him, the boy immediately shrank his little head back with a bitter face. He waited until he had painstakingly closed the window before turning around and heading to the living room.

But at this moment, another extremely subtle "hissing" sound sounded out of nowhere, which made him stop again.

The voice reappeared...... Where? If it's not outside the window, where should it be?

Kevin, a curious little boy, quickly put his mother's cry behind him and followed the sound to the left and right.

You can hear it, it's very slight. If it weren't for the child's keen hearing, it would have been night again, and it would have been difficult to notice it at ordinary times.

And in the time of searching around, little Kevin also bent his waist again and again, and finally simply squatted down and listened carefully.

This time the sound lasted longer than the last, and he finally found the approximate source—it seemed to come from underground.

Oh no! To be precise......

"Is this it?"

Kevin leaned over the cabinet door under the kitchen sink and tilted his head to listen again. But just as he was about to reach for the cabinet door, a large, slightly rough hand suddenly grabbed him by the back collar and pulled him back.

"Oops! It's dirty, go touch the sewer door and do it - it's a good thing I came just in time, otherwise the shower would have been in vain! ”

The little boy's mother, Kevin, was an ordinary Muggle woman, with a barrel-like figure that was stronger than that of Mrs. Weasley, and at first glance gave the impression of a hard-working housekeeper.

And her strength is obviously very strong, and when she pulled just now, little Kevin was dragged in front of her almost without resistance.

"Call you naughty!"

As soon as her mother raised her hand, little Kevin quickly shrank his head, but the slap on his head was neither light nor heavy.

"Haven't touched anywhere else, have you? Pot bottoms, wall corners, stoves, sinks...... Hey! It's best not to touch it, do you hear me? Let me see the hand ...... Well? Looks like I'll have to wash my hands at least again...... Really. ”

In his mother's non-stop chatter, little Kevin was helpless at his mercy, and it took a while before his mother stuffed him into the bed in his room.

"Do you want to listen to a story before you go to sleep?"

Seeing that his mother habitually looked at the drawer of the table next to him, little Kevin hurriedly said:

"Mom, I've grown up! Have you forgotten, I was ten years old yesterday! Sister Demi, who leads the family, said she stopped listening to stories when she was nine years old......

At the end, he muttered:

"And I'm tired of hearing those stories."

When his mother heard this, she immediately waved her hand and said:

"Okay, okay! If you don't listen, you won't listen...... Then my little adult, go to bed! You know, adults should be able to fall asleep soon! ”

Before the words fell, little Kevin immediately closed his eyes, trying to prove that he had really grown up.

To be honest, Kevin is an easy child to coax, and his mother is actually very reassuring to him. Because she knew that her son would soon fall asleep as long as he closed his eyes and lay in bed.

So after seeing her son firmly close his eyes, she also closed the door and went out.

A mother naturally knows a lot about her children's habits - Kevin's mother guessed correctly, and in a short time, little Kevin was about to fall asleep.

However, tonight was destined to be an unusual night...... At least for Kevin Jr.

Just as Kevin was in a daze, the strange "hiss" sound sounded again, pulling him out little by little when he was about to fall into a dream.

Slowly awakened by this inexplicable movement, little Kevin twisted his mouth, but finally opened his eyes again.

He had been sent upstairs to his room by his mother, and where did that sound come from this time?

In this regard, Kevin's curiosity was aroused again.

Maybe it's because the child's heart is pure, and he won't think of anything bad at all; Or perhaps, little Kevin was born bold enough.

In short, I saw him lying on the bed and listening for a while, and the more I listened, the more I couldn't help but want to find out, and finally lifted the quilt and climbed off the bed.

After walking around the small room twice, before he knew it, he walked lightly to the side of the curtain.

Is it outside the window again?

Kevin's room was just above the kitchen, and the alley outside the window was still the same - a little higher than before, but wasn't it the same as before?

Thinking about it this way, little Kevin finally parted the curtain and cautiously looked out of the window.
