Chapter 1450

"I'm sorry, Miss Granger... Mr. lupin just said that there are important things to do, so the gate is closed for the time being, and no one can enter..."

At the front door of the new Ministry of magic hall, Hermione, who should have been looking for Dean St. Mungo, didn't seem to go upstairs as agreed with Harry, but went back and forth, returning to the place where she had just left.

However, the Aurors who guarded the door insisted and didn't let her pass.

To be honest, they are actually very embarrassed, because Hermione, like them, has made a great contribution to the asylum these days. When they stopped at the camp, Hermione and other volunteers even cooked their breakfast and lunch.

At present, although it is business, several Aurors also understand the importance of observing discipline in extraordinary times. But as far as personal feelings are concerned, Hermione obviously feels a little sorry for being blocked out by them.

However, orders are orders. If they can't distinguish between public and private, they won't be arranged here to guard the new Ministry of magic building, which is a key place of wartime headquarters.

"I'm really sorry, Miss Granger, but we really can't let you in. If you have any important information that you have to say, we can tell you, but you can't go in."

"Well... Forget it," Hermione thought and shook her head helplessly. "I know... I'm the one who should say I'm sorry. It must be difficult for you to let me go."

Finally, she didn't entrust them with the reason why she wanted to go in. Only after hesitating at the door for a moment, she turned and walked down the steps with her mouth closed.

But at this time, the door of the hall opened itself.

"Mr. lupin!"

Several Aurors immediately greeted the figure at the door.

"It's hard," lupin smiled, and then looked at Hermione who stopped on the steps and looked back. "Why are you back? Didn't Maka ask you to tidy up the observation room?"

"Er..."

Hermione saw lupin coming out, but she hesitated a little.

"Harry, they're over, I just... Have some problems..." she said with a slight hesitation, then shook her head gently and turned, "lupin, can I... Go in and say?"

"Well -" lupin pondered a little, then nodded, "then come in!"

To tell the truth, Hermione thought she would see some amazing pictures after entering the hall. After all, Lupin's attitude always makes people feel a little concerned.

But when she followed each other in and looked subconsciously, she found that there was no change in the hall as when she left before.

Oh, what I have to say is that there are only a few people left - after they left, it seems that even Maka has left. At present, there are only two people left in the hall, she and lupin.

"Bang."

As lupin walked to the sand table and waved his wand gently, the door was closed again, and the hall became quiet.

"As you said just now, they don't know about your coming back here, Harry?" lupin said casually, holding the edge of the sand table with one hand. "Come on! What's the matter with running back to me?"

"Well, actually..." Hermione looked around again. After reconfirming that Maka was really gone, she continued, "in fact, I was going to find Maka... About the patrol team just now."

"Just looking for him?" lupin shrugged and said slowly in his usual gentle tone. "He left not long after you left. He said he wanted to make some preparations for a later examination - you know, the two patients who will be sent soon."

"Ah, really? Um... So?"

Lupin's words seemed to make Hermione suddenly hesitate again, as if she had some doubts about her previous ideas.

On the other hand, Lupin, who deliberately said that sentence, couldn't help feeling for his former student when he saw Hermione wavering.

As Maka said, Hermione is really sharp and quite smart - she has obviously noticed some abnormalities from the omissions in Lupin's words.

Just because lupin deliberately mentioned Maka to prepare for the inspection, Hermione was still confused.

If something really happened to Sirius, how could Maka be so calm to do something unrelated to saving people?

When lupin was calm on the surface, but secretly sighed, Hermione, misled by Lupin's words, finally couldn't help saying:

"Lupin, I remember that Sirius was on the patrol side? Just mentioned that there were two injuries. Is Sirius okay? I came back specially to make sure - you know, in the absence of Harry."

Harry is Sirius' godson, and because Harry lost his parents when he was young, Sirius almost exists like Harry's real father.

If anything really happened to Sirius, Harry would run to London at all costs.

But as Marca has been saying before, London is very dangerous. Even if Harry's strength is very unusual, he may not come back.

At least according to Maka, that's right.

"Well, I can understand your worry, and I've already understood your trouble for Harry," lupin nodded slightly. "But don't worry! Sirius is fine - he and I have been good friends for so many years, almost like my own brother. Can I be so calm if something happens to him?"

"Er... I think if it was lupin you..." Hermione said hesitantly, but soon waved her hand again. "Wait, no... I'm not saying you don't care about feelings or something. Don't get me wrong!"

After a quick explanation, she continued:

"It's just that you always give us the impression of being so calm, calm and taking the overall situation into account. Even Maka trusts you very much. That's why I think -"

"Oh, don't rush to explain. I can see what you mean."

Lupin listened to Hermione, but his expression was still so flat.

"I think I have to thank you for your praise first, but... To be honest, I may not be as reliable as you think. If something really happened to Sirius... You know, the four of our good friends and Lily are only me and him now."

"So... If even he is gone..."

At this point, Lupin couldn't help sighing, and Hermione, who mentioned it, couldn't help feeling sorry.

"Sorry."
