"My poor child..."
When Marca held a series of discussions with several Deans in the principal's room, Mrs. Weasley was sitting by the bed in a room of black's old house, with tears streaming down her eyes.
Mrs. Weasley has been here since the day Maka came back from the dark spirit Pavilion. She hasn't even left the door.
Lena has been doing housework in recent days. Although she doesn't hate it, there are indeed a lot of people here. It's hard for her to work alone.
However, under the present circumstances, no one can bear to ask Mrs. Weasley to leave the room.
Because it was one of her sons, Percy Weasley, who once saved her the most and later hurt her the most.
That day, in the deep underground of the dark spirit Pavilion, the fake haisijia who hijacked Willie in the stone room was the young man with closed eyes and pale as paper.
"... he was under a very powerful soul snatching spell, and... Perhaps because he didn't resist much, the power of magic has penetrated into his soul. Now I can only keep him in a deep sleep. When the soul snatching spell can be untied, it depends on him first."
This is what Maka left before leaving Black's old house for Hogwarts.
The magic involving the soul is like this. Sometimes the victim's own will is the first and most critical key to crack the magic.
After graduation, Percy, a new generation of careerist who is bent on pursuing power and cutting off contact with his family, how will he choose in this state?
Whether to indulge in the false satisfaction created by the soul snatching mantra or struggle to recognize their own way forward, Maka is also very concerned.
However, the most concerned are undoubtedly his parents, the Weasley couple.
"... um... Um..."
Percy, who was drugged by Marca and forced to stay asleep, would hum unconsciously from time to time. Perhaps as Maka meant, he is interacting with the power of the soul snatching curse in his dream.
"My child..."
Although Mrs. Weasley was used to Percy's little noise in her sleep, she still stroked her son's hair with a sad face.
……
No one can say when Percy's state will last. But in the reception room downstairs, the order of the Phoenix, who received the news of Dumbledore's death yesterday, had no time to take care of him.
"... didn't McLean's meaning come together? Now we don't want to go to Hogwarts. It's what we have to do to explore as soon as possible!"
Kingsley, who had just recovered, sat in a cushioned armchair, persuading the people who had been unable to calm down, and a lot of cold sweat exuded from his forehead.
"Don't! Don't get excited, Kingsley... We all understand." lupin waved his hand and said to the others, "calm down, sit down, sit down..."
The meeting has been held from last night to today, but almost nothing has been decided.
At first, everyone fell into silence. After reluctantly slowing down, most people clamored to go to Hogwarts to confirm Dumbledore's true situation.
But is there anything wrong with the message from Maka? Lupin and Kingsley thought it was impossible.
In this case, they can only rejoice - fortunately, Sirius didn't come back, otherwise he must run out again.
During this time, Sirius will occasionally send some news back. Although he doesn't know where he is, he should at least be safe.
Under the persuasion of lupin and Kingsley, the reception room returned to its previous state again. It's just this dignified atmosphere in which no one speaks, and I don't know how many times it has been repeated.
Lupin and Kingsley looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
Just then, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps in the lobby outside, and then the door of the reception room was roughly pushed open with a "bang".
Then the two figures stumbled in.
"I found Hestia, but she's not in good shape -"
One of the people who came in was Tonks, and the other was Hestia, who was carried on her back. Just looking at Tonks' embarrassed appearance, she must have had a fight.
"Are you okay?"
Lupin quickly got up and ran over, while others with a dull face surrounded him at the same time. After all, haisijia is also an old member of the order of the Phoenix. Everyone likes her for her easygoing and kind character.
"She was hurt, very heavy and shed a lot of blood -"
Under Lupin's hasty inquiry, Tonks fell to the ground, held haisijia's body and hurriedly responded.
"I mean you!" said lupin, squatting down beside Tonks and looking at her up and down.
"Ah - er -" Tonks was stunned, then shook his head. "I'm fine. It's just trauma."
While they were talking, Hestia was checked by others and hurried upstairs to an empty room. The biggest advantage of this old house is this - there is no shortage of empty rooms.
"Here, this is the healing potion left by McLean. Take it first!" lupin took a bottle of spare potion from the cabinet next to the reception room and handed it to Tonks who had just stood up.
"Thank you."
After Tonks drank the potion and sat down tired in his chair, Lupin subconsciously looked up at the ceiling.
Haisijia was up there. Although he wanted to have a look, the most important thing now was to ask what had happened. Only by understanding the situation of haisijia can we take treatment measures according to the case.
"Tonks, you don't know - how worried everyone is that you ran out quietly!" said lupin. "Where did you find Hestia? What happened?"
Facing Lupin's inquiry, Tonks sorted out her thoughts, and then she talked about her exploration in the black market
In fact, Tonks has been looking for a place where he can contribute to the order of the Phoenix.
She knows very well that her duel level is undoubtedly not high. She is thankful that she can ensure that she does not lag behind where she needs to fight.
Therefore, when she knew that haisijia had been replaced and disappeared without warning, she decided to start the search by herself.
Tonks was originally good at camouflage and search. In the Auror test, she did well in both. In the case of avoiding fighting, she can play a lot.
In the black market, next to an abandoned blacksmith shop three blocks away from dark Lingge, Tonks, after a night's search, tracked down some tiny traces here.
Haisijia was not without resistance when she was attacked by Percy who was under the soul snatching curse. Although Percy was imbued with some special magic abilities, her combat experience made Percy still work hard.
But Percy, after all, started a sneak attack, and that blow hurt haisijia.
Judging from the traces detected by Tonks, after struggling for a time, Hestia finally fell behind the abandoned iron shop.
However, in order to complete the task, Percy was obviously pressed for time. It seemed that he hurried to continue to complete the task given to him by Voldemort before he had time to check heisja's situation.
However, although Percy ignored it, Voldemort, who had been cautious recently, did not.
At that time, Voldemort, who was inspired by Willy's curse, fled in a hurry, but after returning to the stronghold, he still took the time to send death eaters to finish the operation.
Because he needed to suppress the counterattack of the power of the bewitching monument, he could only stay in the stronghold for the time being.
Therefore, it was not easy to find haisijia's Tonks, but on the way back, he was hit by the Death Eater.
Facts have proved that in the face of ordinary black wizards, as long as they do not love war, the danger will be reduced a lot.
Tonks took haisijia in a coma and tried hard to hide in the black market alleys with complex terrain. She really escaped from the pursuit of Death Eaters at a very small cost.
Anyway, she is also an active Auror, and her basic combat ability is still not lacking.
"So, apart from the fact that haisijia was wiped by a curse when she came back, is the most important thing the curse she was attacked?" lupin confirmed after Tonks explained the situation.
"That's right," Tonks nodded. "But there were a few times when she was running away. I'm not sure whether Hestia was only rubbed by the curse."
At this time, one of the members who had just sent haisijia upstairs came down.
"Originally, some of us were injured, which were handled by McLean and heisja. Now... Let's send her to St. Mungo as soon as possible?"
It seems that haisijia's injury has not been checked out.
"That's the only way," lupin nodded. "Send two people to escort her to San Mungo!"
He said, looking at Kingsley, and the other party immediately nodded in agreement.
……
No matter how busy the old black house was at this time, Mrs. Weasley was still unaware of it. Now her mind was on her son, but no one could blame her for it.
As for Percy in bed, he seems to have met something good in his dream. The corners of his mouth are slightly hooked, showing a happy smile.
If Marca were here now, he would shake his head and sigh. Because this sign clearly shows that Percy is still immersed in the happiness and sense of achievement brought by the soul snatching curse.
The day Percy returned to normal still seemed a long way off.
