Chapter 1177 The Talkative Tonks

"...Yes, it's because the mist is the same everywhere, and it's impossible to get started, because no one knows where it comes from."

Maybe it's because of the age difference! When she was in Black's old house, Hermione felt that Tonks was the most talkative member of the Order of the Phoenix.

So today at Diagon Alley, Hermione chose her as a breakthrough.

On the other hand, Tonks was also very happy that Hermione came to talk to him-in recent years, due to the continuous chaos, there are only a handful of young people who are willing to work as Aurors. In the past few years of working in the Ministry of Magic, she basically dealt with colleagues of the uncles' generation, and her life was really depressing.

To be honest, if she hadn't loved the profession of Auror since she was a child, with her straightforward personality, she might have gone to the director's office and resigned.

Yes, today's mission in Diagon Alley is still the same as usual. Although there are a lot of people on the street, she has no one to chat with. She has had enough of this kind of boring waiting.

"... But to be honest, I heard that Mundungus has already explored the area where the fog first appeared through the investigation of Muggles. It's just because it hasn't been completely confirmed yet. Only Sirius and I know about it. , other colleagues don’t know yet.”

Hermione couldn't help but feel a little itchy when she heard her say it mysteriously - she was already very curious about the fog in London, and when she heard that the people of the Order of the Phoenix seemed to have found the approximate source, she suddenly felt a little nervous. Channel:

"Where was the original area?"

"Oh! That can't be said..." Tonks leaned against the old-fashioned hanging street lamp in Diagon Alley, and waved his hands, "Well, I'm sorry... At least we still need to keep it secret until we officially go there for investigation. of!"

Hermione couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when she heard that.

Now knowing that Percy probably never came to Diagon Alley, the four of them have lost the only clue to find each other. And since this is the case, instead of searching everywhere aimlessly, they must have a direction worth looking for, right?

Therefore, thinking that Percy also left the Burrow to find the brothers Fred and George, Hermione felt that the source of the fog should be a place that must be visited.

After all, the thinking of the twin brothers cannot be guessed by common sense. Ordinary people trapped in the fog would probably want to escape from the fog immediately, but Fred and George might try to find the source of the fog.

But unfortunately,

This time Hermione guessed wrong, because she forgot that the two brothers also had their own wives with them!

Seeing that Tonks refused to speak, Hermione was naturally a little unwilling. She thought about it for a while, then stretched out her arm to hook the other's arm, and whispered like a pair of good sisters.

"But, Tonks... Dear Tonks, you are so tempting! After you say that, don't I want to know more?"

"Ok--"

Hearing Hermione's complaints, Tonks scratched her hair in embarrassment. Her hair color seemed to have gradually turned into a messy pink and purple due to the hesitation in her heart.

"Tonks!"

Seeing this, Hermione secretly thought that as long as she continued to work harder, it would probably be fine.

"Tonks, look!" she said hastily, "Tell me what worries you? Am I going to talk to others casually? Tonks, just tell me!"

Just as she was talking, she thought about it, and suddenly said teasingly:

"How about this! I heard that you and Lupine are getting married soon? Now, if you can satisfy my curiosity, I will give you the most special and memorable gift at your wedding! Guaranteed Surprise everyone!"

"Oh, why are you bringing this up—"

Tonks, a girl who has always been carefree, was rarely shy for a while, but after pursing her lips, she turned her head and asked in a low voice:

"What is the 'most commemorative' gift?"

"Oh! You can't say that..." Hermione imitated her tone just now, and deliberately dragged her feet, "Well, at least until your wedding is held, you still need to keep it a secret!"

"Hey!"

Tonks gave Hermione a slight push, pretending to be angry, and then reached out and poked the soft flesh in the other's waist, causing Hermione to chuckle.

Not long after, the two girls, one older and one younger, were like children who could not grow up, tickling each other's itch. The messy appearance attracted the attention of many Aurors around.

"What were they doing? Didn't Hermione ask about the situation outside? Why are you playing with Tonks?"

Ron looked in the direction of Hermione and Tonks with a strange expression on his face, and couldn't help muttering softly. Ginny on the side heard the words, and immediately glanced at him and said:

"Ron, I think you must have very few friends!"

"Who said that!" Ron stared, "I have a lot of friends! Look, Harry, Neville, Maca, Dean, Simon..."

"Except for Maca, the others are all in the same dormitory with you, right?" Ginny curled her lips and said, "What's more, look, among your so-called 'friends', there isn't even a single girl— Do you know? I am very worried about whether you can find me a sister-in-law in the future! Well, my mother thinks so too—"

As soon as she mentioned her mother, Ginny involuntarily stopped, and a worried look appeared on her face.

As Sirius mentioned earlier, London seems dangerous right now. Even though she knew that her parents were surrounded by Aurors for protection, but thinking about the disaster in London last time, she felt that it was still not enough to make her feel at ease.

And when she followed up with Percy... oh, she didn't even dare to think about it any more.

"Ginny?"

Standing not far away, Luna, who was just watching Hermione and Tonks' playfulness with a smile on her face, suddenly walked over. She obviously sensed Ginny's uneasiness very keenly, and immediately put her arms around Ginny's shoulders.

"Don't worry, I have a hunch, we'll find everyone soon!"

"'Premonition'?" Ginny couldn't help turning around and said quickly when she heard her say that, "Have you finally been able to make a prophecy? Luna, I always thought you might become a prophet—your erratic way The indeterminate temperament is really the same as those prophets mentioned in the storybook!"

"Well... I don't know how to predict," Luna tilted her head, shaking her head and said, "But... a prophet? If I can really become a prophet, that would be great! At least I'm doing it After I lose things, I can find them in no time!"

"No, the Prophet can know in advance that he will lose something, so he doesn't have to wait until he loses it to find it."

Ginny watched Luna begin to imagine herself as a prophet by herself, and couldn't help whispering something, but Luna, who was immersed in imagining, obviously didn't hear it.

"Hmm... well! It seems that you may not be a prophet yet."

As she was talking, she suddenly saw Hermione's figure inadvertently - she seemed to have finished talking with Tonks and was about to come back here.

"Hermione," Ginny hurried forward and greeted her, "How is it?"

"good."

Hermione nodded imperceptibly, and then walked towards Ron and Luna together with Ginny.

"In short, let's go over and talk about it."

After she pulled Ginny to the side of Luna who was still thinking about it alone, she greeted Ron, lowered her voice and said calmly:

"I got some information from Tonks, some related to the dark wizard in the mist, and some related to the mist itself. It's a pity, although I tried it a bit, to see what she said about us leaving Diagon Alley But she obviously also thinks that we should stay here."

Having said that, Hermione spread her hands and said:

"So, we won't be able to get her assistance. If we want to go out, there are only two possibilities - one of which is to leave secretly after being invisible, and the other, of course, is to persuade Sirius."

"Is there no third?" Ron asked while thinking.

Hermione nodded immediately after hearing this.

"Yes!" She frowned, "When the dark wizards raid Diagon Alley again, we can help the Aurors repel them, and then sneak out... But to be honest, I would rather have zero chance."

"Oh! Of course," Ron said with a grin. "This kind of mortal battle can be one less!"

"Yes," Hermione said, "Therefore, it seems that we can only choose one of the two possibilities to try first... But obviously, in order to persuade Sirius to let us go, we must also let him not distribute this book. There are not many people to give us, this difficulty is really not small!"

After thinking about it for a while, she suddenly shook her head, and then said:

"Leave this aside, let me tell you something I heard from Tonks - first of all, the dark wizards outside, those guys are probably Haierbo's subordinates, and they are attacking others in the fog in the city of London But for some reason, they seem to only target wizards, but ignore ordinary Muggles..."

It took a while for Hermione to speak out the information she had received, and by the way, talk about how they coped after they left Diagon Alley.

There are only four of them now, even if they can use the rune slabs to exert strong power, but I heard that there are a lot of black wizards, it is best to avoid them if they can.

They came out today to find someone, not to fight those dangerous dark wizards.

In the end, she recalled Tonks' narration, and said to Ron and the others:

"Because we don't know where to find Percy now, I thought, why not go to the source of the fog first, after all, Fred and George may appear there. And the source of the fog..."

"...It is said that it is in a place called 'Black Market'." ()
