Chapter 1178

"... yes, it's because the fog is the same everywhere. People can't start at all, because no one knows where it comes from."

Maybe it's because there's little difference in age! At the old black house, Hermione thought Tonks was the best speaker among the members of the order of the Phoenix.

So today at Diagon lane, Hermione chose her as a breakthrough.

On the other hand, Tonks was also very happy that Hermione came to talk to him - in recent years, because of the continuous chaos, few young people are willing to take office in Auror. In the past few years of working in the Ministry of magic, she basically faced colleagues of uncles, and she was really depressed.

To tell the truth, if she hadn't loved auro since she was a child, she would have gone to the chief office to resign with her forthright character.

Yes, today's mission in Diagon lane is naturally the same as usual. Although there are a lot of people on the street, she has no one to chat with. She had had enough of such dull waiting.

"... but seriously, I heard that Mundungus has found the area where the fog first appeared through the investigation of Muggles. It's just because it's not completely determined. At present, only Sirius and I know about it, and other colleagues don't know it."

Hermione listened to what she said mysteriously and couldn't help feeling a little itchy - she was curious about the fog in London. When she heard that the people of the order of the Phoenix seemed to have found the general source, she whispered:

"Where was the initial area?"

"Oh! That can't be said..." Tonks leaned against the old hanging street lamp in Diagon lane and waved his hand. "Well, I'm sorry... At least we need to keep it a secret until we go there to investigate!"

Hermione couldn't help feeling a little disappointed at the speech.

Now that Percy may not have been to Diagon lane, the four of them have lost the only clue that they can find each other. In that case, they have to have a direction worth looking for, rather than searching aimlessly, don't they?

Therefore, thinking that Percy left the burrow to find Fred and George, Hermione felt that the source of the fog should be a place to go.

After all, the thinking of the Huobao twin brothers can't be guessed by common sense. When ordinary people are trapped in the fog, most of them want to escape the fog area at the first time, but Fred and George may try to find the source of the fog.

But it's a pity that Hermione guessed wrong this time, because she forgot that both brothers had their wives with them!

Seeing that Tonks refused to speak, Hermione was somewhat unwilling. She thought a little, then stretched out her arms and hooked each other's arms, and whispered like a pair of good sisters.

"But, Tonks... Dear Tonks, you are so tempting! After you say so, don't I want to know more?"

"Well --"

Tonks listened to Hermione's complaint and immediately scratched her hair in embarrassment. Her hair color seemed to gradually turn into some messy pink and purple because of her hesitation.

"Tonks!"

Hermione saw this and secretly said that as long as she continued to work harder, it was estimated that it would be.

"Look, Tonks!" she hurriedly said. "Tell me what you don't trust? Will I go and talk to others? Tonks, just tell me!"

As she was saying this, her mind moved and she suddenly said in a teasing way:

"Well, I heard that you and lupin are getting married soon? Well, if you can satisfy my curiosity, I will send the most special and commemorative gift at your wedding! I promise to surprise everyone!"

"Oh, what are you doing with this --"

Tonks, a girl who has always been careless, is rarely shy, but after sipping her mouth, she turns her head and whispers:

"What is the 'most memorable' gift?"

"Oh! That can't be said..." Hermione imitated her tone and deliberately procrastinated, "well, at least you still need to keep it secret before your wedding!"

"Hey!"

Tonks pushed Hermione gently, pretending to be angry, and then reached out to poke the soft meat in each other's waist, causing Hermione to giggle.

Not long ago, the two girls, big and small, scratched each other like little children. The chaotic appearance attracted many Aurors around.

"What are they doing? Isn't Hermione going to ask about the outside? Why are they playing with Tonks?"

Ron looked strangely in the direction of Hermione and Tonks and couldn't help whispering. Ginny glanced at him and said:

"Ron, I think you must have few friends!"

"Who said that!" said Ron, glaring. "I have many friends! Look, like Harry, Neville, Marca, Dean, Simon..."

"Apart from Maka, the others are in the same bedroom as you?" Ginny glanced. "What's more, you see, there isn't even a girl in your so-called 'friends' - you know? I'm worried about whether you can find me a sister-in-law in the future! Well, mom thinks so -"

Speaking of her mother, Ginny couldn't help but stop, and a worried look appeared on her face.

As Sirius mentioned before, London now seems very dangerous. Even if she knew that Auror was protecting her parents, she thought about the disaster in London last time, and she felt that it was still not enough to reassure herself.

And when she thought of Percy again... Oh, she didn't even dare to think about it anymore.

"Ginny?"

Standing not far away, Luna, who was just looking at the frolic of Hermione and Tonks and smiling, suddenly came over. She was clearly acutely aware of Ginny's uneasiness, and now she put her hand around each other's shoulder.

"Don't worry, I have a hunch that we will find everyone soon!"

"A hunch?" Ginny turned and said quickly. "Can you finally make a prediction? Luna, I always thought you might become a prophet - your erratic temperament is really the same as those prophets mentioned in the story book!"

"Well... I can't predict," Luna shook her head. "But... A prophet? If I can really be a prophet, it's great! At least I can find them soon after I lose them!"

"No, the prophet can know in advance that he will lose something. He doesn't have to wait to find it."

Ginny looked at Luna and began to imagine herself as a prophet. She couldn't help whispering, but Luna, who was immersed in imagination, obviously didn't hear it.

"Well... Well, it seems that you may not be a prophet yet."

As she was talking, she suddenly saw Hermione's figure - she seemed to have finished her conversation with Tonks and was ready to come back here.

"Hermione," Ginny hurried forward to meet each other, "how's it going?"

"OK."

Hermione looked down slightly and walked with Ginny to Ron and Luna.

"In short, go over there first."

When she pulled Ginny to Luna, who was still thinking alone, she greeted Ron, lowered her voice and said quietly:

"I got some information from Tonks, some related to the black wizard in the fog, and some related to the fog itself. Unfortunately, although I tried to see her views on our leaving Diagon Lane... She obviously felt that we should stay here."

Speaking of this, Hermione said:

"So we can't get her help. There are only two possibilities to go out - one is to sneak away after being invisible, and the other, of course, is to convince Sirius."

"Isn't there a third one?" Ron asked as he thought.

Hermione nodded at the speech.

"Yes!" she frowned. "When the black wizard raids Diagon Alley again, we can help Auror repel them, and then sneak out... But to tell the truth, I'd rather the possibility be zero."

"Oh! Of course," said Ron grinning, "this deadly battle can be one less!"

"Yes," Hermione said, "so it seems that we can only choose one of the two possibilities to try first... But obviously, it's really difficult to persuade Sirius to let us go and let him not assign us this few hands!"

After a little thought, she suddenly shook her head and said:

"Let's put this aside. Let me talk about some things I heard from Tonks - first, the black wizards outside. Most of those guys are Haier Bo's men. They are attacking others everywhere in the fog of London! But somehow, they seem to only target wizards, but ignore ordinary Muggles..."

It took a while for Hermione to tell the intelligence she had received, and incidentally, how they had responded after leaving Diagon lane.

There are only four of them now. Even if they can use the magic stone to play a strong power, those black wizards have heard that there are a lot of them. It's better to avoid them if they can.

Today, they came out to find someone, not to fight those dangerous black wizards.

Finally, while recalling Tonks' narration, she told Ron and others:

"Because we don't know where to find Percy now, I think we might as well go to the source of the fog first. After all, Fred and George may appear there. And the source of the fog..."

"... it is said to be in a place called 'black market'."
