Chapter 1183: A Bottle of Beetles

"Sirius, Miss Granger and the others are gone!"

Tonks almost shouted this sentence. Across the streets of Diagon Alley, her voice was particularly loud, and her high breath attracted everyone's attention.

Of course, this also included Maca who was about to ask Sirius if Hermione had been here.

"Missing?"

As soon as he heard Tonks say that, Maca immediately knew that he didn't have to ask questions like "are you coming?" Obviously, several of them have indeed been here.

"That is to say, they left secretly?" He frowned while walking towards Tonks with Sirius, "Can you roughly estimate how long they have been away?"

"Oh...uh," Tonks was also walking towards Maca. Hearing Maca's question, she thought for a while and said, "No more than twenty minutes at most! Because about twenty minutes ago, Ge Lan Jie is still chatting with me."

"Twenty minutes at most? That is to say, they probably went out during the few minutes I walked away from the bar door?"

Although apart from the Leaky Cauldron, it is not impossible to get out of Diagon Alley, which is temporarily unable to apparate. But Maca didn't think that they would know other ways to leave here.

After all, this was Diagon Alley, not the Hogsmeade village they had known so well. Through Mundungus, both Maca and Sirius knew that there was an inconspicuous secret passage in Knockturn Alley, but Hermione and the others obviously had no way of knowing it.

"Tonks, do you remember what Hermione talked to you about?"

Perhaps because of the anxiety in her heart, Tonks' hair suddenly turned into a strange blue and green color, but at this moment, no one cared about her hair color.

I saw her standing still in front of Maca and Sirius, her face was wrinkled but she was trying to think about it, and after a while she said quickly:

"Married? Oh, no... I mean, the source of the mist. Yes! That's what—"

"Did you tell them the information sent by Mundungus?" Sirius shook his head helplessly when he heard this, "I can understand your trust in those children, but...you didn't think about it." But why did they suddenly appear here?"

"Oh! Sorry..." Tonks said regretfully,

"It was indeed my fault."

"Okay, okay, don't blame yourself. To be honest, I am also responsible for letting them escape from Hogwarts so easily." Maca waved his hand, "But before self-reflection, Will any of you tell me first what the 'source of the mist' is?"

"Ah! It's the black market," Tonks said hastily, "Mundungus and the others did a 'investigation' with Muggles, and found that the area where the fog was first seen was near the new entrance of the black market—wait, didn't you Did Kingsley come here after looking for you at Hogwarts?"

"I just asked about this, and they may have just missed it." Sirius signaled her not to worry about this, and then changed, "In short, according to what you said, those four children should have gone to the black market. But... ...Didn't they come out to find the Weasley brothers? Could they still think that the brothers went to investigate the fog?"

When Maca heard this, she couldn't help but shook her head with a wry smile.

"Just the twins?" he said, "That's not sure—Sirius, just treat those two critters as if you were young!"

"Me when I was young?" Sirius raised his eyebrows immediately, "Then you'd better go and see it as soon as possible! If Remus hadn't stopped me back then, I would have almost gone straight to a duel with Voldemort!"

"Okay!" Maca glanced at him speechlessly, "However, I'm actually talking about the old Fred and George. Well, Hermione may not be aware of the changes between them, so listen to Tonks When there is a black market, you will guess where they went."

Having said that, Maca suddenly turned his head and looked at the witch who had been following him.

"Sirius, I just caught a wizard who was following Haierbo outside—that's her sister." He first gave a brief introduction to Sirius, and then said to the girl, "I have something to do now, so you can stay here for now." Here it is! Remember, as long as you don't make trouble, your sister will be fine, understand?"

"Well," the other party pursed his lips and nodded silently, before he couldn't help but said, "Can't I meet my sister first?"

But Maca didn't pay attention to her words, and saw that he just waved his hand, then turned around and walked towards the open courtyard wall of the Leaky Cauldron.

"Sirius, she is very proficient in the Disillusionment Curse and Animagus Transformation, please pay attention...Of course, this happens to be your strength, so I won't say more."

Before the words were finished, Maca left the street and went from the bar to the Muggle world outside.

...

Hermione and the others never imagined that the carriage would go back and forth.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes behind them suddenly approaching from far and near, and finally stopped at the entrance of this alley, they decided to run away first.

As Hermione said before, it was impossible for Fred and George to pass by the black market in a carriage. And since it wasn't anyone they were looking for, it seemed that it could only be someone with evil intentions.

After all, this is a black market, who knows who lives here?

"This way!"

Due to their haste, the four of them didn't have time to decide how to go, and there were many forks in this alley. When passing a fork, Ginny, who was running side by side with Hermione, almost chose another road.

However, even though it took a little longer to turn around, Ginny had already heard footsteps coming from the alleyway behind her.

There are many people here! And more importantly, the opponent's speed is very fast!

"There are many obstacles!"

Without turning her head, Ginny threw a spell behind her - because the alley itself was so narrow, it saved her the trouble of looking back to confirm, and an obstacle spell immediately blocked the middle of the alley.

It's a pity that although the Obstacle Curse is invisible, Ginny still doesn't have the ability to use the silent spell technique on this spell. In this alley that was silent except for the sound of footsteps, just the sound of chanting a mantra was enough to wake up the other party.

Sure enough, she had just turned the next corner when she heard a "bang" sound behind her... Presumably, the obstacle spell had already been broken by the other party.

"Don't worry, just run forward! Leave it to me later."

After Hermione heard the sound, she immediately took a few steps back and returned to Ginny's side. On the other side, Ron also stepped back a little at the same time, and silently cast a floating spell backwards.

With his current silent spell technique, it can only be used for this spell. But obviously, as long as it is applied properly, the floating spell can also exert great effects.

Yes, Ron always remembered what Maca said.

And at the moment when he cast the spell, a wooden crate that was originally in the corner behind the other party flew up and hung high above the alley.

Immediately afterwards, Ron, who continued to run forward, listened to the footsteps behind him and counted silently for a few seconds before lifting the floating spell and allowing the wooden crate to fall from the air.

To be honest, Ron didn't know if he could hit someone this time, but even if he couldn't, it would be good to scare the other party.

Aside, seeing this, Hermione also took advantage of Ron's time to cast a spell, and backhanded another impediment spell that Ginny failed to work just now.

"boom--"

"Ah!" "What?" "Don't stop, keep chasing!"

A few seconds passed in a hurry, and Hermione and Ron were not happy when they heard a commotion from the other side of the corner. Instead, they felt even more dignified.

It can be heard that there are many people chasing after them, and the spells that the two released in coordination just now obviously failed to cause too much hindrance to each other.

"Take out the slate I gave you in advance," Hermione whispered immediately, "Get ready! Although I don't know why they are chasing us, it seems that this battle is inevitable."

"careful--"

As she was talking, Luna, who was running at the front, suddenly yelled, and then suddenly stopped running.

"Luna, what's wrong?"

"Don't stop!"

When she turned her head to look at Luna's profile, Hermione found a rare seriousness and seriousness on Luna's face. And at the very next moment, Luna quickly took out something from her pocket, and threw it forcefully into the alleyway behind.

"……sorry."

Hermione didn't know why Luna apologized, she only knew that the moment Luna said "I'm sorry", she immediately felt a creepy palpitation.

"Don't stop, keep going—"

After Luna threw the thing, she immediately turned around and took Hermione's hand, and ran again. Not long after, the four of them chose another fork in front and hurried away.

Then, a few more seconds passed, and several figures rushing towards him suddenly stopped here.

"Who told you to use soul magic?"

One of the middle-aged wizards suddenly reprimanded another younger wizard beside him. Seeing that the other wizard was only holding his injured head and dared not speak, he turned his head and asked the third wizard:

"What did the girl block it with?"

The third wizard was leaning over to check the things on the ground at the moment. Hearing the middle-aged wizard's question, he straightened up quickly and replied:

"It's a bottle of beetles... It seems that the girl did realize that it was soul magic just now. But how she discovered it is unknown."

"Beetle?" The middle-aged wizard nodded, and then said to the young man next to him, "It's also thanks to that little girl who is quick-witted, otherwise, let's see how the Patriarch will punish you!"

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and said immediately:

"Keep chasing! Be careful, try not to hurt anyone."
