Chapter 861: There seems to be a hidden secret
Helbo's idea is good, he has a conflict with some of the peepers on the surface, but at the same time he is secretly in contact with the other.
And it is precisely that most of the forces he chooses to contact and win over have irreconcilable contradictions with those in front of him.
Especially in the several countries around Israel, in the magical world of those countries, there is a natural competition in the shadows. All he needs to do is help those forces that are a little lacking in strength but always have a lot of ambition.
For Helbo, who is currently planning to lay the groundwork in the modern wizarding world, this step is particularly sensible.
It can be said that from the moment Helmo realized that he could not gain much advantage on Maca's side at the moment, he decisively decided to leave the British wizarding world and delay it for a while.
Yes, Helmo needs time, he still has a lot to do.
Little did he know, however, that Sirius, with many eyes on the global wizarding world still focused on peepers being hunted down by surprise, and Sirius had a slight chance to understand the meaning behind this.
As a result, the ongoing "friendly exchange" in the main hall of the Heeberg School of Magic and Wizardry was interrupted.
To be honest, this incident was actually just a coincidence, Sirius was not a prophet, so naturally he would not have guessed so accurately that Helbo had invited representatives of so many forces to talk tonight.
To put it bluntly, the reason why Sirius escaped despite the risk of being attacked again was purely a sudden thought and impulse.
But as long as he guesses the key point that "Helbo is buying time", then what he did tonight must be correct.
As for the fact that he made a noise and interrupted the conversation in the main hall of the school, it could only be regarded as a surprise.
In fact, Sirius's work is very simple, and even if there were a camera to follow the whole process, probably the vast majority of viewers would feel a little "naïve".
"Boom-"
Outside of the Heeberg School of Magic, several long-closed magic shops were on fire. As the flames spread rapidly, Sirius ran to another unoccupied shop and continued to set fire to the house with a spell.
It wasn't until he had ordered everything he could that he left the space where the Heeberg Academy was located without looking back.
Of course, the scene he wants to toss out, but it's far more than that!
……
"Bang!"
Not long after Sirius left, Helpo pushed open the main entrance to the vestibule with a cold face.
From here, you can see that the buildings that were originally built on both sides of the road not far away are now bathed in flames and burning.
The striking red light of the space that had already entered the night was bright again, and even from a distance of hundreds of meters, Helbo's cheeks were still dyed with a layer of red.
And in his pupils, the light of fire can be seen.
"Ridiculous behavior."
Before he could finish speaking, Helbo waved his hand and dispersed all the flames.
"Go back, everybody! Let's pick up where we left off......"
He brought all the people who had come to see the excitement back to the main hall again. But as soon as he was back seated at the table, a figure suddenly walked up behind Helmo and bent down to the latter's ear.
"Master, there are fires in the Muggle world outside, and the number of fires is constantly increasing."
Helmo was stunned when he heard this, and after he pondered for a while, his expression suddenly became a little more annoyed.
Because, judging from the current situation, it is very likely that the seemingly "naïve" arsonist did it for the purpose of framing him!
"Send out the rest of the men, find the arsonist as soon as possible, and kill him!"
If you let the other party do this, the impact will not be too great. The reason why the Federation wanted to make a plan before secretly dealing with him was precisely because everything he did was still within the scope of the Federation.
But if even the Muggle world is involved, Akinbad is afraid that it will be difficult to withstand the pressure.
He believes that as long as this matter is not handled properly, it may be difficult for the federation to continue to wait and see. After all, under the provisions of the International Secrecy Act, wizards were forbidden to interfere with the normal order of Muggle society.
"You go too! Go at once—"
After Helmo finished his order, he also sent the wizard who came to report it.
"Yes...... Be. ”
……
Throughout the night, the previous attackers put out fires and searched for people, but could not find the arsonist.
A fire that ignited in a large area of the city burned down a large number of buildings, and by the next morning, most of the Muggle streets around the Heybher School of Witchcraft and Wizardry had burned to the ground.
“…… At least Sirius remembered that he should have gotten rid of all the Muggle occupants before he could do it. ”
After reading this ciphertext note, which was much richer than before, Maca couldn't help but shake her head - this godfather of Harry was really decisive enough to make such a big show over there.
As a result, Sirius ended up back in hiding unscathed; As for Helmo, he is destined to lose a lot of time.
He didn't have enough time right now, and he was ...... The development plan, which was originally conceived, is now expected to be temporarily shelved.
"Well, this time Helbo was coldly overshadowed by Sirius, so let's see how he responds!"
Destroying the note in her hand, Maca sat back in her chair and continued her research.
At this stage, Helbo is not the only one who is rushing for time, and Maca's own time is also a little stretched.
It's just that this time, there are some things he doesn't want to omit because they are all important to him.
And while Maca was working at her desk early this morning, Ron, who had just missed another girl, had just returned to the Gryffindor common room.
"Oh, Harry—" his expression was still frustrated, "are you waiting for me to go to breakfast?" Actually, you don't have to wait for my ......."
"Oh, I wasn't waiting for you......"
Harry was sitting at the round table with his back to him, and he didn't see the sadness on Ron's face.
"You know, I'm waiting for Ginny!"
"Really?"
Ron rolled his eyes in dismay, then came over to Harry and sat down heavily.
"Alas...... That's great! You've got Ginny ......."
Hearing his inexplicable tone, Harry looked up in confusion, only to realize that something was wrong with Ron. Although he didn't know what happened to the other party, he could understand that it was definitely not a good thing.
"Uh, what's wrong? This early morning's ......," Harry said, handing together the book spread out on the table, wondering, "Oh, your shoes are covered with snow and your back is wet...... Did you go out for a walk and then accidentally slip and fall? ”
"No, it's much sadder than that," Ron said listlessly, rubbing his face vigorously, "hmm...... By the way, what about Hermione? ”
When Harry heard this, he looked back and forth at him in surprise.
"Didn't you come out early in the morning just to find Hermione? She woke up early today, and she was already planning to go to the library when I got to the break room...... You didn't meet her? ”
When Ron heard this, he became even more frustrated.
"Oh, maybe it's just a little bit off......" he shook his head, "Harry, let's go to the Great Hall for a bite to eat...... I feel a little hungry. ”
"This ...... Didn't I just say it, I'm going to wait......"
"Ah, right...... Ginny," Ron nodded suddenly, "yes, you still have Ginny...... I'd better go by myself! ”
With that, he stopped rambling, and quickly stood up and walked towards the door of the lounge again.
Harry looked at his back apologetically, but sat there honestly and waited for Ginny to arrive.
"What the hell is going on with him?"
"What else could it be? That one...... Well, that Ravenclaw girl! ”
At some point, Ginny had come up behind Harry. Perhaps Harry was thinking about Ron a little bit at this moment, and Ginny's words made him shrink his neck in fright.
"That girl ......" Harry blinked, hesitating to guess, "Could it be that Ron scared that girl away again early in the morning?" ”
"Who knows!" Ginny shook her head and said, "Oh, I hope he can hold ......"
Although Ron is Ginny's older brother, in terms of emotion, Ginny really doesn't think much of Ron, the youngest brother.
No way, since she was a child, she was used to seeing Ron's unreliable appearance, and now there is finally a girl who gives her brother a glimmer of hope, and she naturally looks forward to her brother chasing the other party.
Because judging from the current situation, although the girl is introverted and makes people feel a little weird, in this school, weirdos have long been used to it.
Although that girl is a little strange, judging by the comments among her classmates, she is still a good person.
"Harry, thank you for staying and waiting for me," Ginny said softly, "let's go to the Great Hall too, to be honest, I'm a little worried about Ron...... Oh, he'd better not make any trouble at this point, or he'll really lose his confidence! ”
And just as Harry and Ginny were both going downstairs, Hermione, who had gone to the library early in the morning to look up materials, had just finished the formalities and was also walking towards the auditorium.
It's just her face...... It's not bad, but it's always a little subtle, and I don't know what she's thinking.
"Oh-" she whispered to herself as she walked, "I think I'd better not tell him, but...... Even if you don't say it, so what? That's it......"
