“peng peng peng – peng peng peng -“

A knock on the door slammed on the streets of London, and Ginny couldn’t help but knock on the door. The familiar door was still no one to watch.

No, even the most minimal response is not, as if the other side of the door is not there.

“…Hermione? What should I do?”

Leaky Cauldron, who has always had a lot of voices, seems to be alone. The bar’s black oak door was shut, and even if someone knocked on the door, it didn’t respond.

It’s like that even the Boss Tom of the bar is far away from it.

“Maybe to prevent the fog from entering Diagon Alley, so the Ministry of Magic simply blocked it here?” Hermione thought for a moment, but quickly shook his head. “No, logically, it should be a temporary refuge here. It’s the right thing – Leaky Cauldron and St. Mungo’s were the only two refuge points in the city when it was a disaster in London! It’s impossible to suddenly decide what to block this time.”

Thinking about it, she simply extended the wand to point the tip at the position of the door lock. I would like to try to open it from the outside.

But to be honest, Hermione didn’t really have much confidence in unlocking.

However, just a simple “Alohomora”, Leaky Cauldron’s door was opened with a “light” a light sound.

“en?”

A few of them saw the door open, and although it seemed that it seemed to be incredibly smooth, they hurried into the bar.

Waiting for a while to observe it, this time is finally unexpected – the bar from the bar to the small round table where the guests are hospitality is indeed a silhouette, the whole bar is in a rare silence.

It is worth mentioning that the closed door seems to be closed only afterwards, because the bar is also filled with a very strong fog. It’s just the amount of fog, and there’s nothing outside that’s like that’s all that’s all.

In order to let the fog get in less, so that the visibility in the bar is also reduced, Hermione puts the oak door closed again.

“Well?”

Suddenly, Luna stretched her neck, and during the slight movement of her nose, she frowned as if she had smelled something.

“Do you smell anything?”

“What?” Ron followed and smelled it. It was not long before he scratched his head in confusion. “No? Ah… If you have to say it, is the taste of the wine? And the mold that the old Tom has been unable to remove. Taste…”

However, Ginny, beside him, frowned immediately.

“Is there a strange smell, it is like… bloody smell?” Her expression became more and more serious, and her heart followed with a little more worry.

This is, Hermione has also raised an eyebrow and greeted a few small partners:

“I also smelled it. Was it coming from the stairs? Some people may have been hurt… Upstairs! Let’s go up and see…”

Looking at the three female children, it didn’t take long for me to determine the direction in which the taste was floating. I ran to the stairs leading to the second floor room, and Ron couldn’t help but squat in place.

“Is my nose broken? Or is the female child’s sense of smell more natural than the boys?”

Of course, the current situation does not have much time to think about this kind of problem, just a little paused, and he hastily chased it up.

And when a few people quickly climbed the stairs and ran to the corridor on the second floor, the large bloodstains left here proved that the sense of smell of Luna and the others did not go wrong.

Although the blood in this corridor has begun to solidify, it is obviously not left in a short period of time. However, the amount of blood that has been distributed has made the disgusting hernia still have a lot of residue.

Someone was injured here, it looks like the injury is not light, and … is likely more than one person!

As soon as I saw so many bloodstains that had become dark red, everyone took a step back and felt a little uncomfortable, and then stood in the gallery for a while at each other in dismay.

“It seems that London is not just as simple as fog…”

Because they flew directly from Hermione’s broomstick, they didn’t encounter any dark wizard obstacles along the way, so until now, everyone realized this with the reminder of these bloodstains.

“All in all, take good wand! Let’s go and open the door to see it!”

Hermione stared at the bloodstains of horrible to see, and spoke to everyone without returning. She followed the door that was closest to the stairway.

Like the bar door downstairs, the door of these rooms is not a protective spell. It is basically an unlocking spell that is easy to open.

Even they found that there were two doors that were simply open, and the item messy inside was very incomparable, so the guest who lived here must have been very hasty.

Unfortunately, apart from these circumstances, it seems that everyone can no longer find more valuable information. Including them returning to the downstairs and searching as thoroughly as possible, without any gains.

“Go to Diagon Alley… I hope there are at least people there.”

After seeing the misery of Leaky Cauldron, they now only want Diagon Alley to be the same as the bar, a silhouette can not be seen. If there are no people there, they really don’t know where to go.

After a while, the four people maintained a certain degree of vigilance and came to the backyard of the bar. And then they saw that the wall with magic was wide open, standing in the courtyard can directly see the streets of Diagon Alley.

When I saw this scene, the hearts of several small partners were even sinking. It was obvious that Diagon Alley was invaded and seemed to forcibly open and destroy the magic brick wall as an entrance.

A little bit stunned, or Hermione first returned sobered up. Seeing her quickly reminded everyone not to make a noise, and then took the rest of the three people to walk a little to the side.

After waiting for them to hide behind the wall, Hermione snorted and sneaked a sneak peek at the Diagon Alley.

“How?” Asked Hermione to shrink back, and Ron hurriedly lowered his voice and asked.

Hermione looked at him and blinked, but then he shook his head in a strange look.

“I think… let’s go straight in!”

“en?”

Ron hadn’t reacted yet, and he saw a sudden walk into the outside of the open courtyard wall, but he was so scared that he hurriedly raised the wand in his hand.

“How come you come here?”

Everyone did not expect that Sirius was actually coming in.

I saw that he just looked at the wand pointing at himself and then continued to start talking:

“It’s dangerous now. There are a lot of dark wizards in the fog that wander around and hurt people… I don’t know how you came over, but I think you have already seen it, even Diagon Alley has been attacked.”

“That… how is Diagon Alley now?” Hermione asked immediately.

Sirius hearing this, not shrugged.

“For the time being, I have knocked those guys back. Now there is no one outside, right? But I guess they should come back again… Don’t stand here and talk, come over first!”

After all, he turned and walked back, Hermione and the others rushed to catch up.

As soon as I entered the streets of Diagon Alley, Ron understood why Hermione’s expression was so weird.

It turned out that there were many Aurr and dark wizard strikers standing on the back of the courtyard wall. Her previous probe, I thought I was being watched by a large group of people.

Oh, it’s definitely subtle to think about it!

In these people, they also saw a few familiar silhouettes, such as members of the Order of the Phoenix, such as Tonks, who had been in the past.

As he followed Sirius, Ginny couldn’t help but ask:

“Sirius, is Percy here? Or has he been here?”

“Percy?” Sirius paused, this is awkward, “Oh, is your big brother Percy Weasley? No, he hasn’t been there… At least since we came here, we haven’t seen him.”

Having said that, he turned to:

“But your parents have been here, saying that they are looking for two sons and daughter-in-law. Because the current London is indeed in crisis, I originally wanted to leave them, but both of them are determined to go. To ensure Their safety, I also sent a few Auror to accompany them to find someone…”

“Oh! Thanks, Sirius.” Ron was grateful to be on the road.

As soon as Sirius heard it, he waved his hand indifferently and suddenly said:

“Right, you don’t want to go. The magic power of those dark wizards is somewhat unexpected. I can’t get rid of them. As for finding someone, I have already contacted Lupin. He will arrange for others to go. Searched.”

“Oh, but -“

What Ron was trying to say, but Hermione sneaked a sneak peek at him, causing him to suddenly stop.

“we know.”

After Sirius had temporarily placed them in the nearby cauldron store, Ron looked at the other side and left, and then looked at Hermione with some confusion.

“Why didn’t you just talk to Sirius directly?” he said. “You know, Sirius is different from other adults. He has never been against our actions.”

“Just because of this, I won’t let you elaborate with him,” Hermione glanced at him. “Don’t you hear it? He is not enough here. If we say it is going, then It will only make him feel embarrassed! You said that if he is to be separated for our safety, and then because the power of defense is not enough, he is in danger…”

“Ah! That’s not very good,” Ron immediately nodded. “So… what should we do next? Do you want to leave?”

“Of course,” Hermione said. “After all, Percy’s situation is definitely bad now! But before I leave, I want to go find someone to ask the situation – remember what Sirius just mentioned? There seems to be a lot of danger outside. Dark wizard!”
