The world never revolves around someone. Everyone has their own life. When Maka was busy with such things, the old black house also passed day by day.
Recently, as the days have gradually become dull, the children who stay here have slowly found some feeling of being alive. Although only occasionally, occasionally, there was finally a childish and innocent laughter here.
But I'm afraid the most worth mentioning is Lenny, the sister of the werewolf sisters.
She is not very old, and she is usually very noisy. At first, when these children about her age came to black's old house, she thought she was going to have a large number of companions who could fool around together. But when she found that it was a group of dead children who came here, her heart was undoubtedly very depressed.
But after a period of time, something surprised lupin and them happened - Lenny somehow pried open the locked heart doors of several children. Although the children were still silent when she was with her, they were at least willing to run back and forth in the house with Lenny.
Up to now, even lupin, who has been trying to guide the children out of the shadow, has to admit that Lenny has contributed to these little guys becoming cheerful gradually.
In fact, Lenny is now the child king of black's old house. Except that the little girl named isira only wanted to stay with Helen Shane, all the other children ran behind Lenny's ass all day, and sometimes they could even walk a little around the street outside.
"If this goes on, Hogwarts may have more special freshmen next year. When they make more friends in school, they may be able to go to their own life like other children."
In the reception room on the first floor, Lupin said happily while reading the newspaper leisurely. Opposite him, Sirius, sitting on the other side of the long table, nodded his head and looked in a good mood.
These two days they finally have nothing to do. Since they went to the Iranian magic world with Maka and came back, they will go out and run every day to grasp some conditions in Britain in time.
These two people are actually the kind of guys who can't rest, especially Sirius. It's more painful for him to sit all day than to kill him.
It's the same today. When the children come back from playing with Lenny, they should go out and inquire about the news again.
The seat closest to the door at the long table basically always belongs to Lena.
Because of her low-key and introverted character, she always maintains a certain sense of distance from everyone, even in the old black house with the main tone of Amity and harmony. Coupled with her personal preference for cooking, she prepares three meals and refreshments for everyone when Mrs. Weasley is away.
To be honest, if Sirius, the owner of the house, didn't always look out of tune, Lena's existence would be almost like that of the servants here. Of course, no one would think so at this point.
However, even lupin wanted to be polite to Lena from time to time, trying to remind Lena that everyone is equal here. But if Lena immediately became more polite than them, it would undoubtedly put the cart before the horse.
So, helpless, the others had to follow Lena.
For example, in this seat now, Lena will always sit in the most marginal position, and sometimes even stand directly. When lupin talked to Sirius, she would never participate, let alone interrupt.
When it comes to people who don't know how to get along, Lena will certainly be ranked first by everyone.
But today, at this moment, when Lu Pingzheng and Sirius casually discussed where to go first in the afternoon to obtain information, Lena's sudden opening suddenly surprised them.
Because it was so sudden, they didn't hear what Lena said, so they were just surprised.
"What?"
Sirius took his feet off the chair next to him. Lupin subconsciously put down the Daily Prophet in his hand. They looked at Lena who suddenly stood up at the same time.
"It's Lenny... Lenny is in danger."
Lena's expression was almost the same as usual, but her eyebrows frowned slightly. But her hands hanging tightly in front of her showed her anxiety.
"Where? Can you feel it?" Sirius asked immediately.
"Here..." Lena pursed her lips and suddenly turned to the door. "I can't tell the exact location, but Lenny just wanted to change... Although she should have failed, I did feel it. Please follow me, I know the direction..."
Normally, Lenny won't run far with those children. In this community, there are alienated eight eyed giant spiders wandering around and patrolling. No matter how you think, there should be no accident.
However, when lupin and Sirius followed Lena straight through two blocks, they understood. Somehow, Lenny ran away today.
"It's really ironic that the two of us have been exploring the situation outside every day these two days, but we haven't found that someone has touched the vicinity of the old house."
As he hurried along, Sirius said something angrily.
So the answer is obvious. The two senior members of the order of Phoenix who have experienced two Death Eater battles can't compete with each other in tracking and searching. It's even possible that the guys who wandered here were brought by them inadvertently.
Because Lena couldn't sense the specific position where Lenny tried to change, the three had to run with their legs and correct their direction.
Regardless of the specific strength of the three, at least looking at the speed and endurance of running, Lena, a congenital werewolf, is obviously much stronger. When lupin and Sirius were panting, Lena could restrain her speed a little while suppressing her anxiety, so as not to lose her.
"This way -"
After passing another alley and running along a somewhat deserted street for a while, Lena suddenly turned around and kicked open the iron door of a large warehouse.
This used to be the batching storage warehouse of a light industrial factory. Of course, it was completely empty after it was abandoned in the early years. Now, when Lena and her three people step into this place, apart from some cold shelves, there are only plastic baskets and transparent bags scattered on the ground.
At present, Lena kicked the door of the warehouse open, and the wind from the outside street suddenly poured into the rather empty warehouse, making the packaging bags on the ground fly everywhere.
"There are signs of fighting -"
Lupin looked deeper and soon found several shelves lying on the ground.
The shelves here are very large, and obviously need to stack heavy goods when they were used in the past, so the steel shelves are quite firm and hard. However, the fallen shelves have all changed shape, and it is obvious that they have withstood a considerable degree of great force.
The three hurried to check, and Sirius immediately found other clues.
"Look at both sides," he said, pointing to the large windows on the left and right. "Both windows are broken... Lena, you realize that the place where Lenny tried to change is really here, right?"
Lena nodded quickly when she heard the speech.
"Well, she should have rushed into the warehouse from one side of the window and tried to change while avoiding someone. But the transformation failed, and the enemy followed in, so she immediately escaped from the other side of the window..." Sirius said, observed the broken glass on the ground, and then said, "it's from this side. We continue to chase!"
Sirius's conjecture was very reasonable. Lena immediately agreed and took the lead in running to the right window. But just then, Lupin waved his hand quickly.
"You chase first, and I'll look in the opposite direction -" he said. "Lenny is obviously alone. Then she must have hidden the children somewhere, and then she will act alone to distract each other."
In this case, Lena will definitely give priority to ensuring the safety of her sister, but lupin must also take responsibility for those children. In fact, half of his judgment can only be said to be speculation, but the possibility of the other half is the last development he wants to see.
"Well, I'll leave it to you, but you should be careful yourself!"
While Sirius spoke, Lena had jumped out of the broken window. Had it not been for the limitations of the werewolf itself, even her inborn blood would be difficult to change during the day. I'm afraid she would have left them and ran to save people.
But she was also very clear in her heart that under the blue sky and white clouds, her combat strength was determined not to be comparable to the wizard who cast the spell with a magic wand. To save her sister, she must rely on the strength of others.
It's certainly not a small thing that the children were attacked, not to mention that Maka saved them at the beginning. While lupin was running to the other window, he was also thinking that when he found the children, he had to go back to black's old house and send a letter to Hogwarts.
Suddenly, Lu Ping, who had just jumped out of the window, turned back subconsciously. He thought about it, and then he couldn't help being a little certain. In terms of distance, Lena and Sirius should not have run so far. Maybe it's the noise from Lenny.
At least, it seems to be able to identify a living person first - even if it may be like him, it is a kind of alien that looks ordinary on the surface, but can not be called "human".
Getting rid of the complex mood in his mind, Lupin accelerated his running speed and observed carefully around him.
