During the wedding, Lupin went to Maka to say a few words. What he wanted to convey to Maka at that time was actually one thing:
"There will be a secret meeting at ten this night."
This is a member of the order of the Phoenix... To be exact, it is an important intelligence intercepted by several wizards led by Sirius after long-term shift surveillance.
This information came from Ted, the owner of the hanging man's tavern.
According to lupin, the owner of the tavern has lived a very calm, or now can be said to be very "cautious" life since Maka visited as a guest.
Open the door in the morning, rest a little after dinner in the afternoon, and then continue to open the door for guests in the evening until 2 or 3 a.m.
There is no doubt that this is the normal work and rest time of a tavern owner. There is no problem.
However, Maka found some problems after she had been there once before, so she never gave up letting people keep an eye on the tavern from beginning to end.
Sure enough, on the morning of Fred and George's wedding today, the boss Ted finally made a suspicious move.
At noon that day, Sirius suddenly found that he secretly went to the black market to send a batch of anonymous letters while he was out shopping.
One of the letters was sent to the witch Higgs, the master of the potion workshop they knew.
In order not to scare the snake, Sirius only cut off that one of those secretly sent letters.
So far, among a series of suspicious persons monitored by the order of the Phoenix, only Ms. Na Higgs has confirmed that she has no direct contact with other surveillance objects.
Of course, that's enough, isn't it?
"The specific location is under a cemetery in the suburbs of London."
At the wedding, Lupin said this at the end of a whisper.
……
London tonight is as bustling and noisy as usual.
Unlike Hogwarts, London still had several light rains during the day. The misty rain and fog wet the already not very dry streets. Until now, the rain has stopped. At a glance, it is still wet everywhere.
At present, it is still more than eight o'clock, which is actually very early compared with the ten o'clock written in the intercepted secret letter. Maka, Sirius and others were dressed in Muggle costumes, walking on a slightly wet and sticky Road, and moving forward step by step like Muggles in the street.
"Marca, why didn't you stay at the burrow for a while and come out after dinner?" lupin asked casually beside him.
"Yes!" Sirius touched his stomach, "I just danced for a while, and I'm a little hungry..."
But Maka shook her head and said:
"It's better to be safe. It's better to be early than late - of course, if you're really hungry, go to the Muggle store and buy something to eat! But then, why didn't you go to the tent and bring it out? Isn't Mr. Weasley ready?"
"Didn't I think you were going directly to the cemetery!" Sirius said angrily. "In case of any situation, you can't hold a magic wand in one hand and a piece of chicken bacon pie in the other hand?"
Before he could make complaints about Macca, the one side of Tonks could not help but say:
"Why chicken bacon pie?"
"Because I can see it on the table in the tent!" Sirius glanced, then turned around and hurried to a taco shop on the side of the road.
"Is there anyone else to eat?"
Maka looked at the others and saw that Mundungus also pulled several people to the store. He smiled and shrugged.
"I hope they won't regret it tonight!"
"Regret?" said Tonks, scratching her purple hair. "Why?"
Beside her, Lupin immediately explained:
"In fact, no matter what happens in the end, we should still have time to go back to Weasley's house for dinner. Well, I mean, except Maka... Because if there were only ordinary wizards, it would obviously not pose a threat to us; and if something worse appeared, we wouldn't have to get close at all."
As Lu Ping said, although it is not clear what the secret gathering is for, there are two possibilities for the order of the Phoenix: whether Haier Bo will appear or not.
If there is no sign of halbo coming forward, those who followed Maka will be responsible for catching the black wizard. Maka is just an insurance;
But if halbo shows up at the rally, they should be responsible for a series of tasks to evacuate the crowd and convey danger signals.
"So, the action plan at that time is not complicated," Maka said. "When they are full, you can wait anywhere that won't attract Muggles' attention, and then wait for me to start the door key!"
"Mr. McLean... What about me?"
This time, it was the windbreaker wizard who hardly spoke at today's wedding.
As soon as Maka heard her mouth, she spread her hands and said:
"That's the same sentence - I don't mind if you want to follow me."
A moment later, Maka and the windbreaker separated from the others and took a Muggle car to the north suburb of London.
As we left the central area of the city, the lights were gradually reduced and the surrounding areas gradually became dim. But after moving on for a while, without the dazzling neon, the bright moonlight tonight makes the field of vision clearer.
Of course, it may also be because there are no high-rise buildings around that block the view too much, and the view is gradually broadened!
It has to be said that Muggle cars are quite convenient, especially when you don't want to rely on magic.
It didn't take them long. Through the window, they saw a road sign marked "West hagate cemetery" at the fork in front of them.
Seeing this, Maka immediately took out a few pounds from her pocket and handed them to the "enthusiastic" Muggle driver sitting in the driver's seat.
"Oh! Do you really want to get off here? There's nothing here!"
After receiving the money, the driver asked a strange question. After all, he drove all the way according to Maka's instructions. On the way, he was worried about whether he had been robbed.
However, the charm of sterling is obviously infinite. Maka only added money twice, which made him send them to the place with fear.
"It's all right. You don't have to worry about these," Marca smiled. "Collect the money and go home and have a good sleep!"
After that, he opened the door and got out of the car with the windbreaker wizard. Then he stood on the dark and deserted roadside and watched the car hum along the road when it came.
He obviously saw that the driver finally took a special look at the road sign of the cemetery in front, and then he couldn't help shivering.
"I hope he won't have nightmares tonight!"
Before the words fell, Maka took the windbreaker wizard to the fork of the road, then turned a corner and walked towards the cemetery according to the direction of the road sign.
Haggett cemetery is a Muggle cemetery built in the last century. It has a beautiful environment and abundant green. If you look at it during the day, you can even feel a silent vitality.
But now it's night.
Although the moonlight is unexpectedly clear tonight, the cemetery at night will always feel a little gloomy... In particular, two Muggle girls claimed to have been attacked by vampires before.
Well, maybe the driver just happened to recall this old story?
Instead of going directly into the cemetery, Maka and the windbreaker chose to go first into the woods and slowly suppress their own magic wave.
"It's less than an hour before the time written in the letter... Since there's no one yet, let's wait for 'them' here!"
Maka leaned against the trunk of a tree and didn't look around. She just brought the surrounding situation into her heart with her sense of magic.
Opposite him, the windbreaker wizard standing in the shadow obviously did the same.
……
However, when Maka had ambushed near the cemetery, the tavern owner Ted had not even gone out.
But he's really excited today.
He looked forward to seeing how many people had passed the selection before long. Because after that, those people will become his first direct believers.
Yes, although all believers must respect halbo first, and then obey a wizard like him who was personally selected as a student by Mr. halbo.
But it was, after all, the mighty Mr. helbo! That's a famous dark wizard who has survived since ancient times. It's better than any Dark Lord!
It's no shame to be a student under such a strong man, isn't it?
"Oh..."
Standing in the kitchen, he thought so, and suddenly he couldn't help shaking all over - this feeling of "having subordinates before and backers behind" is really wonderful!
"Of course, there is also the ancient black magic that is bound to arrive soon!"
Ted looked at his palm and watched it slowly clench, as if a force had condensed into his hand at the moment.
Even if it was just such a conjecture, he was still intoxicated in it.
Not long after, he was a little calm from his expectation of the future and glanced at the wall clock. Then, after confirming that there were still a lot of people left in time, he moved his eyes to the picture frame in front of him.
The old woman was now on another canvas outside, so he could directly see the closed wooden door in the portrait.
"After tonight's rally, let's contact the teacher! Hum, I believe he will be surprised by the number of believers I have developed!"
