There is no doubt that each of the troublemakers in the group of four was a smart man.

Harry's father, James Potter, is bold, careful, easy to communicate with others, and has a natural leadership temperament; Although Sirius Black is sometimes paranoid and lazy, he has a high talent and resourcefulness.

Even Pettigrew Peter, who betrayed his three friends and the order of the Phoenix because of greed and fear, was despised for his actions, and people had to admit his intelligence.

After all, he fooled the whole British magic world for more than ten years with a lie that framed Sirius and his little thumb.

But speaking of the four people, who is the most intelligent person... Maka always felt that it should be lupin.

As a person shrouded in the shadow of a werewolf from childhood, his experience from childhood to childhood is actually heavier than that of several other good friends.

When he was a child, he clearly knew his strangeness and terror, and when he grew up, he understood his threat to others around him.

So he is always calm. He secretly keeps a distance from others. He wants to ensure that he won't hurt anyone he doesn't want to hurt.

It is precisely because of this habit of "stepping back" all the time that he will see everything more clearly, thoroughly and long-term than ordinary people.

That's why Maka always asks him to sit in a seat where he can look at the overall situation, because sometimes he is even more thoughtful than Kingsley, who is also good at looking at the overall situation.

Now, for example, just a word that Bill hurried over and left in a hurry can make him produce a series of quite accurate conjectures. He saw the sudden change of the situation through bill's hurry, and understood the urgency of the situation after knowing that Marca asked Bill to speak.

Even at the moment of seeing Ollivander, he was ready for some of the worst.

"Your task is to protect Mr. Ollivander... Of course, and the box in his hand..."

Lupin found two Aurors and earnestly told them, which made them accompany Ollivander to the back door of the bar.

"... Remus."

Just as lupin watched the three people gradually disappear into the crowd, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him - in fact, he didn't have to look back to know who else could it be except Tonks?

"Yes."

Lupin turned back a little and smiled a comforting smile at Tonks. He could feel that Tonks was as uneasy as the others around him.

However, Tonks is a strong and optimistic woman who never easily reveals her inner weakness.

"What's the matter, Tonks?" he asked rather knowingly.

"... nothing."

On the other side, Tonks looked at Lupin's tired face, as if he was distressed. But after opening his mouth, some persuasive words came to his mouth, but they suddenly changed shape.

Because Tonks is a strong and stubborn person, she can better understand Lupin's persistence. No matter how tired the body and spirit are, the will is always indelible.

Therefore, Lupin did not ask Tonks to leave first, and Tonks was difficult to let lupin put down some burdens.

It must be said that this awareness between them is something that Marca, who claims to be "selfish", can't have in her life.

"It's all right!" lupin stretched out his hand, gently pressed Tonks's shoulder and whispered, "when the asylum seekers in Diagon lane are safely sent out of London, we'll talk about something else! If then -"

Before he had finished, Tonks covered his mouth and gave him a small stare.

"Don't say anything useless, it will only bring misfortune!"

"Oh! Tonks... When did you learn so much about fate? I remember that your divination score seems to be barely passing?"

Upon hearing this, Tonks glared at him again with some annoyance.

"It's day now. The moon is still on the other side of the earth!"

"Hmm?" lupin wondered, "what do you mean?"

"Don't you understand?" Tonks said angrily. "I'm just reminding you not to stop talking before you change!"

"Oh, don't say that... It hurts!"

Speaking like this, a relaxed smile appeared on Lupin's face - the matter of the werewolf was no longer a knot in his heart, and the moon was no longer the only thing he feared in his life.

"By the way, I think we have to find slug and Giggs. Their magic medicine will also be a very precious resource... Although Maka's magic medicine is of high quality, we can't rely on him for everything, can we?"

Lupin was talking. Suddenly, he and Tonks heard a cry of surprise from the broken cauldron bar. And this also makes the relaxed moments just accumulated in their hearts disappear.

But, of course, it was clear that they were far more than the two of them.

"Don't worry, everyone. Stay where you are and stay calm -"

Lupin looked down at Tonks again after shouting to the slightly riotous crowd around him.

"You'd better go to slug them first. I'll go out and see the situation!"

"Er... Be careful."

It can be seen that Tonks still hesitated about this, but she nodded after all, turned around and squeezed into the crowd first.

"Wait here, everyone. I'll be back in a minute."

Nodding slightly at the crowd, Lupin immediately turned his head and squeezed through the back door of the broken cauldron bar, ran all the way across the bar and came to the outside of the main door.

At this time, a gray black column of inflammation rushed into the sky from bottom to top. Even if it came into his eyes, the position should be

"San Mungo!"

To tell the truth, the "pillar" that seems to stand between heaven and earth is not strong, even from a distance, it is very thin. However, the swirling gray and black flame simply and easily explains its horror.

It should be a cluster composed of special flames, and... It must be an extraordinary ancient magic without modern magic spells!

Is this Maka's method? No, Lupin didn't know Maka at all, but he had never seen Maka use this kind of magic.

If you change that color to blue and white, or pure frost white, it's probably Marca's right.

"Who is that? Haier Bo?" lupin stood at the door, looking at the fading burning column in the sky in the distance, and couldn't help thinking, "well... It seems that there is only Haier Bo."

"Pa Pa!"

Seeing that the burning pillar did not appear again after it slowly disappeared, Lupin immediately raised his hands and patted, attracting the eyes of all the frightened asylum seekers in the open space.

"Don't be afraid, because our evacuation route is just in the opposite direction, so we won't go to the wrong place at first sight, but try to stay away from it! Now, please start as soon as possible! When we get outside, at least the phantom shifting spell can be used freely!"

As he spoke, he commanded his acquaintances to hold the group. All the people lined up one after another, and then immediately started to move towards the suburbs according to what she said.

Lupin naturally did not follow, because in his plan, he must be the last group to go.

"Boom -"

Cold, another movement came faintly from the direction where St. Mungo was. This time, the noise was much less noticeable. Maybe the team who had just left here didn't hear it at all.

"Maka..." lupin said secretly in his heart at this time, "I hope you can go well."

It is not "peace" or "victory", but "smooth". At this moment, few people can know what he is thinking.

……

"... what was that just now?"

Because the gray and black pillar was so striking that even the fog in the city could not completely cover it up. So even Hermione and Luna, who had gradually followed the team to the outer edge of the city, saw a hazy shadow rising into the sky in a few seconds.

"It's definitely not a good thing," Luna whispered. "Anyway, I feel very uncomfortable looking at it! But... I think it may have something to do with Maka."

"You mean, Marca is fighting someone else?" Hermione said to herself, even with a little dignity.

"Oh," Luna said, shaking her head at once, "I didn't say that - I don't know, I just thought it might be like that?"

At the same time, Delphi, who was looking after the whole San Mungo evacuation team in the middle of the team, couldn't help looking in the direction of coming.

"This feeling... Can't dad stop it?" she stared over there for a moment. Then she shook her head and said silently in her heart, "it's okay. At least dad didn't get seriously injured because of time backtracking this time. Even against the devil, he must be able to retreat."

At the thought of this, Delphi suddenly turned his head and looked at the moving crowd. She knew that these people must leave London as soon as possible so that their father could have more choices.

It was for this reason that she took the initiative to leave Maka temporarily and ran to take charge of the escort task of St. mungo.

"Don't care what's going on behind you. Speed up your steps. We'll be able to get out of the fog soon!"

The speaker was the president of St. Mungo hospital on the other side of the team. Looking at the other side, he was obviously much more relaxed than when he was in St. mungo.

To tell the truth, when Maka proposed to withdraw from London, he couldn't help feeling a little lucky - his shoulder's responsibility was too heavy to bear with his weak shoulder!

"Retire when you come back!" he couldn't help saying to himself.
