Chapter 1423 The Corner of Laughter Is Heavy
"Let's go, all go in! Although it's a little dark here, there will be street lights after passing through the stone gate in the corner... Be careful where you step..."
In the ruins of St. Augustine's Abbey, several staff members of the Ministry of Magic are guiding the team to go inside. And perhaps in order to reduce the possibility of being discovered as much as possible, even though the surrounding roads have been enchanted without dead ends, the Ministry of Magic still gave up adding lighting here.
Right now, the sky has become very gloomy, and even the setting sun on the west mountain has almost completely disappeared. And the dilapidated monastery was naturally even darker. Although the employee of the Ministry of Magic specifically reminded everyone to pay attention to their feet, there were still low cries when someone stepped on their toes or stepped on their shoes directly.
Especially when Ron Ginny stepped on him earlier, it seemed like an omen. Now since he followed the team into this dark monastery, he has been stepped on for more than ten minutes. Six feet.
"Oh... Get rid of everyone when walking, I feel like my fingernails are about to be stepped on and split! Everyone be careful... little..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly let out another "ow", the wailing was trembling with pain.
But Ginny, who was following behind him, slapped him hard on the back, pursed her lips and said:
"Didn't you say before that you are not afraid of getting hurt now? Didn't you say that you have some 'self-healing ability'? If you can really heal yourself, it's okay to step on it!"
Although she said so, the hand that had just finished patting Ron's back grabbed his clothes and pulled him back a little in front of her.
At the same time, she could not help muttering in a low voice:
"If you don't want to be stepped on, don't follow so closely! If you keep pushing forward, it's no wonder you don't get stepped on your toes!"
"Oh...Ginny, thank you..."
Ron turned his head just now, and wanted to thank him with a moved face. But in the darkness, Ginny gave him a vague look, then took Harry's arm and squeezed to the side, as if she disliked Ron.
"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to care about you! If you care, you will only care about me, Harry. I just don't want to hear you crying and howling in front of me. It's so noisy!"
Hearing this, Ron couldn't help but turned his head with a mournful face, and sighed at Fred who was walking on his right.
"Look! You said Ginny would be nicer to me now,
but you saw it"
While feeling so emotional, the bitterness on his face quickly disappeared, and instead he showed a snickering expression. Seeing his smug look, Fred couldn't help making a face at him.
"Cut it off," he whispered, "Ginny already has Harry, but what about you?"
"Oh, that's all right!" Ron pursed his lips, pondering, "I'm not the only one left in our family! Charlie and Bill are also single! Ah yes, and Percy"
"...I have a girlfriend."
Suddenly, Percy's voice came faintly from the left.
"Well, at least there are before falling into a deep sleep...I plan to look for it when I enter Spiral Town in a while! Penello's home is near Diagon Alley, and it may already be inside!"
"Uh"
Yes, after Percy himself mentioned this, Ron also remembered the summer vacation when Ron and the others were in the second grade. Percy spent the whole vacation in his room writing letters to that girl. Feelings seem to be very hot.
It's just that it's been so long now, that girl who was a Ravenclaw prefect back then will still be concerned about Percy, who disappeared soon after graduation?
Oh! At least from the fact that the other party has never been to the Burrow in the past few years, it can be seen that Percy's old relationship may be a bit hanging!
"Okay," Ron froze for a moment, but finally shrugged his shoulders and said, "Percy doesn't count, so Bill and Charlie are right?"
"Bill seems to have been communicating with a girl all the time?" George who was not far away suddenly turned his head and raised his eyebrows, "I heard that his pen pal is an enthusiastic and active French girl!"
"Oh no"
This time Ron really couldn't take it anymore.
"Bill had so many girls who pursued him back then, but he rejected them all. I thought... I thought..."
"What do you think?"
Seeing Fred's teasing expression, Ron immediately realized that he must not go any further. Otherwise, the embarrassing thing about him being liked by boys earlier should be known to all the refugees here.
"No no, don't look at me like that... nothing! Can't I just shut up?"
Before he finished speaking, Ginny behind him snickered and muttered:
"It's long overdue!"
While the Weasley brothers and sisters were laughing in the dark crowd, Hermione, who was walking further back in the line, seemed a little silent.
Of course, she didn't have a problem with Ron's frolic. On the contrary, she was actually very happy to see that everyone was still so cheerful after all the hardships they had been through.
However, for some reason, she was a little at a loss for this supposedly relaxed atmosphere.
She was busy helping patients transfer before, and now the Aurors and Dark Wizard strikers sent by the Ministry of Magic have taken over. Not to mention her, even Harry and Neville don't need to bother.
And this should be a good thing for them. After all, it is quite a stressful task to transfer those patients who cannot follow the appearance!
"Is it because you suddenly got idle while you were busy?"
Hermione pondered silently, and after a while, she shook her head as if she understood something.
"No, it's more than that... It's time to settle down in the new town, and it seems that we shouldn't have anything to do... Is it because of this reason?"
To be honest, although Hermione has always worked hard, it's not all for other people, Maca and her friends. In her efforts, there is still a part of subconsciousness that holds fate in her own hands.
Now, Haierbo's problem is still unresolved, but she probably has no way to intervene. Even if Maca allows it, she probably won't allow it, because she knows that she doesn't have the ability to face Haierbo directly.
And obviously, the feeling of not being able to take control of one's destiny in one's own hands, but in the hands of others, is undeniably very disturbing.
Thinking of this, Hermione couldn't help shaking her head vigorously, so that her curly long chestnut hair also fluttered.
"Maka, I believe in you... yes, that's right! I believe in you..."
