Chapter 1562 Bystander
Screening volunteers, assigning teams, explaining how to evacuate the people with the Muggle army, and more than a dozen Aurors were also arranged to participate.
Under the discussion between Lupine and Hermione, this unplanned temporary support mission quickly took shape.
When everyone left the central square and headed for the open space outside the town exit under the leadership of Hermione, Maca also followed in a rather low-key way. As a selected volunteer, she was prepared like everyone else. From here proceed to the town of Faversham.
"Since we are assigned to the same team, then when the time comes, everyone will take care of each other!"
Hearing the older wizard in his five-person team speak, Maca naturally echoed. Among the five members of the team, Maca didn't know anyone except himself.
But this is obviously not a bad thing for him who tried to watch for a while.
Not long after, a group of selected volunteers followed Hermione and the others out of Spiral Town, carrying the Portkeys used to evacuate the Muggle residents and apparating to the outskirts of Faversham one after another.
Gathering and evacuating the Muggles requires the assistance of the Muggle army, and wizard volunteers like them alone will definitely not work.
Lupine had already contacted the army that was cooperating with the evacuation in the nearby city of Sittingbourne, and asked them to come out in a group to the town of Faversham to join the volunteer team led by Hermione.
After that, of course, the evacuation began step by step according to the plan.
To be honest, the plan as a whole is actually going pretty well.
Under the double endorsement of the Muggle Prime Minister and the British royal family, the Muggle army acting according to the order had already had a run-in with the first batch of wizards responsible for the evacuation.
Therefore, after the officer-in-charge assigned now talked with Muggle-born Hermione, the two parties referred to the existing precedents and quickly clarified the affairs that they should be responsible for.
"Myron... this basket of door keys has been checked, you can send it to the outermost tent! I just heard that the Muggle army has gathered many residents in the town, and the first batch of transfers will probably be It's time to start."
"OK!"
Maca immediately responded, and pulled out an ordinary magic wand that was not commonly used, and waved it casually.
"Floating into the Sky"
Before the words were finished, the big basket that had just been put down by the other party flew up leisurely, followed behind him skillfully avoiding a few fellow volunteers who were busy, and "walked" towards the exit of the tent together with him.
These tents are all military tents set up by the army. Although the interior space is definitely not as big as the magic tents, there are entrances and exits at the front and back, making it very convenient to move around.
And when Maka quickly passed through the volunteers who were hurriedly checking the door keys in several tents, and was about to reach the outer tent closest to the gathering of Muggle civilians, a figure among the noisy voices suddenly entered. his ears.
"...Miss Granger?"
"Hello...what's the matter?"
"Miss Granger?"
"...During the evacuation, I encountered several... wizards... who were unwilling to cooperate..."
The person talking to Hermione should be a Muggle soldier, and Maca paused intermittently as he walked into the tent and put the basket containing the portkeys in the corner marked with the "Inspection Completed" sign.
According to the situation described by the soldier, Maca remembered that Hermione seemed to have told him about it.
"Oh, is it at this time that she discovered the abnormality of the two 'spies' in the town?"
As he was thinking secretly, he suddenly saw Hermione turn around and walk towards the tent after saying another word to the other party.
It seems that a few people will be selected to deal with this matter with her.
After thinking about it for a while, Maca took two steps back and quietly retreated from the tent.
Although this incident caused Hermione some unnecessary doubts, she was smart enough to vaguely understand Maca's intentions, and did not delve into the survivor's strange behavior.
Considering this, Maca thinks that at least there is no need for him to deliberately get involved here, so of course it is better to let nature take its course.
Most importantly, the crisis that seriously injured Hermione obviously did not happen at this point in time.
"Please let someone take us there!"
Hearing Hermione's voice finally came from inside the tent, Maca leaned up again and glanced at the other side of the tent. It can be seen that there are three more volunteers behind her, as well as a very capable Auror following her.
That Auror Maca still knew him, he was Kingsley's friend, and the two of them seemed to have passed the assessment and training to work in the Ministry of Magic in the same year.
Now, this Auror elite, who was originally entrusted by Kingsley to stay in Spiral Town to protect Lupin, was pushed by Lupine's side to Hermione again.
"Well, since he's following me, I feel more at ease."
While Maca was thinking this way, he left the tent again, walked around to the side and looked around, and had a look at the barricade in front of him. There were already many Muggle people gathered outside the roadblock in front of him. The imminent danger is not yet fully understood.
After a slight pause, Maca couldn't help raising his head and looked towards the distant sky.
At this moment, there is still a lot of time before sunset, and the sun is still hanging in the sky, and it is so bright and dazzling when you look straight at it. But Maca knew that when the sun went down today, the gray fog enough to completely submerge several small towns around would bid farewell to the dawn in this area.
"At that time...maybe we can meet Dumbledore again."
This thought flashed through Maca's mind, he couldn't help but shook his head slightly, then turned around and left here, and continued to return to his inconspicuous port key inspection work.
"There is still time, take a good look at everything that happened, and figure out what else you can do, but forgot to do..."
Until now, in the final analysis, it is still the trouble brought by Hai Erbo, isn't it?
Soon, a few hours passed in the blink of an eye, and the sun gradually sank towards the western horizon amidst the busyness of helping the Muggle residents to move.
Maca didn't do any unnecessary things anymore, he just acted as an ordinary volunteer, doing those repetitive tasks with everyone.
Until the first volunteer outside the tent suddenly pointed to the west, and said solemnly:
"Is that... is that a dark cloud?"
It is a pity that no matter how low the rain cloud is, it will not appear so close to the ground.
"It's fog! The gray fog that enveloped the entire city of London...could it be the enemy coming?"
In the camp, the voices became more and more noisy.
