Safina didn't join Harry's team after all.
No matter what she said, she could not convince Hermione and Harry. After all, this first investigation mission was full of unknowns, and it was a burden to go to another person. Hermione has determined the most suitable team candidate, which is impossible to change.
After Safina left with depression for a while, a group of friends discussed the specific details of Harry's trip again - for Britain, they were naturally quite familiar with what route to choose and where to make a good exit. After brainstorming, ideas jumped out of everyone's mouth, and Hermione analyzed and screened them one by one.
It was late at night that the big guys went back to the room arranged by Mrs. Maxim and had a good sleep.
Of course, few people can sleep safely this night.
Until more than 4 a.m. the next day, everyone got up early and went together to send Harry and others to the school gate. After leaving the campus of busbarton, Hermione couldn't help telling her again.
"All right, Hermione!" Harry urged, holding Gryffindor's sword in his hand. "Go back with everyone! It's still early. I think you'd better have a rest."
"Especially Hermione, didn't you, Mr. housekeeper, come last night? We have a representative in Hogwarts to persuade other forces to form a Rebel Alliance. Obviously, you have to go. I think you'll have to be busy next!"
"Well," Hermione nodded, "then... Be careful yourself. Remember to take the initiative to evacuate in case of danger that you can't handle - your safety comes first compared with the results of investigation, okay?"
"I see."
After the last answer, Harry turned and said:
"Let's go!"
……
According to the discussion last night, Harry and his family finally decided to give up all magic mobile means to enter Britain after they went to a harbor close to Britain.
So, on the premise of avoiding being discovered by Haier Bo as much as possible, they decided to go by boat.
Normally speaking, the nearest port city in France to Britain is the original Calais city. Just because the landing from Canterbury opposite Calais is too close to London, it is obviously necessary to enter the UK in another place in order to reduce the possibility of directly encountering Haier Bo.
With a burst of space, Harry and his party appeared near the commercial port of Cherbourg, France - they came through the door key provided by Mrs. Maxim.
According to the plan, they should get a boat to leave the port and sail north, cross the English channel longitudinally and land in Weymouth, England.
However, as soon as they arrived here, they found that the nearby Harbor was sparsely populated, completely devoid of the noisy appearance of the harbor in the morning.
It can be seen that although there are large and small cargo ships moored in the harbor, there are almost no crew working on the ship.
"Let's go! In short, go and ask someone first."
As soon as Harry waved, he hurried away with Ron, Ginny, Hannah and Neville from the roof, which was the key transfer point, all the way to the harbor.
"There's a man over there. Wait here. I'll go and ask."
Seeing someone driving a forklift towards the warehouse area not far away, Ron Dang even took out his wand and walked quickly towards the other party - this is still France after all, and there is no need to restrict the use of magic spells.
"Hello! Hey, buddy? Do you understand English..."
Soon, Ron pointed his wand into the open window, then opened the door and squeezed into the driver's seat.
A moment later, the forklift came slowly in front of them.
"Harry," said Ron, sticking his head out of the window and shaking his head, "this big brother can only speak French! I asked and didn't understand anything."
"What else do you want him to do?" Ginny said at once. "Don't hurry down!"
When Ron jumped back from the high driver's seat, Harry watched the confused freight workers leave with a forklift, and then frowned:
"In fact, I think the port here is closed because of security problems. Now the current situation of Britain is not a secret rumor in the Muggle world. Across the channel of Cherbourg is Britain. It is a normal decision to block the port."
"What about that?" Neville scratched his head. "Otherwise, we'd better ride a broom? After all, none of us can sail."
Harry listened and couldn't help thinking, then nodded:
"That's the only way... Although Hermione said that the flying broom will certainly leave magic traces, as long as we stop using it before entering the fog, Haier Bo, no matter how powerful, should not find it... HMM, probably?"
"Wait, I said..." suddenly, Ron whispered, "otherwise, let me try to start the boat? You know, my father made a Muggle car at home, and I drove that thing - maybe I can start the boat, too?"
"Shut up!"
Ginny pushed him aside unhappily, then waved her hand and said:
"That's it! Ride the broom."
"Don't I also think about our safety?" Ron said bitterly. "And, Ginny... Your tone seems to be more and more like Hermione!"
As they were saying this, Harry suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction he had just come, followed by another surprise.
"What is that?"
Seeing this, the remaining four turned around and took a look.
They saw a figure coming towards them, with a mask on his face that everyone felt very familiar with.
"Miss Geoffrey, why are you here?"
They didn't expect that Safina appeared directly here after being rejected.
"Because you don't take me! So I have to come by myself -" she said as she walked this way. "It seems that you're in some little trouble? Do you need my help?"
Harry and others looked at each other when they heard the speech. Obviously, they didn't know what to say.
"Miss Geoffrey, you --"
"Oh! Do you want me to go back like this?" Safina stood a little in front of Harry and said seriously. "If you still don't want to take me, I'll have to go to England myself - you know, I must go anyway."
Before the words were over, Safina didn't wait for Harry to answer them. She immediately turned and walked towards the harbor.
