"... yes, that guy came from the sea. We met him when we were sailing on the change. That guy is really powerful. After being watched by him... I think Ernst can't even escape. Harry and Hermione, please -"
When Alexander said that he and erns had met the devil, Harry no longer just tried to take him away from the dangerous area where the war was going on, but turned his head and dragged him back to Hermione and others.
Then Alexander spoke as succinctly as possible about his encounter with Ernst.
But in the end, when he subconsciously wanted to ask Harry and others in front of him to rush to rescue Ernst, the battle that was still going on when he spoke made him stop talking involuntarily.
There is no doubt that the struggling giant black giant not far away is no easier to deal with than the sea demon he and erns met, and may even be more terrible. Even if it is forcibly trapped by multiple magic and rule forces, its every action is still shaking the earth, and its roar is deafening.
While telling the story of the seaside, Alexander could clearly feel the increasingly strong vibration coming from his feet. No one knew when the temporarily suppressed "trapped beast" would break free with an outbreak of anger.
In this case, it was obviously difficult for Alexander to easily say anything for help.
However, Hermione and others who have learned from him that Ernst is in danger naturally have their own ideas and practices. And unlike Alexander, who has not yet matured, Hermione, Harry and even Ron have formed the habit and ability of quick decision in the continuous struggle and choice in the past.
"Luna!"
Hermione patted Alexander on the shoulder with her left hand without a stick, comforted him, and resolutely turned her head to Luna not far away.
"You take Ginny and Hannah to the East and rearrange a new formation. We'll buy you more time... It's a matter of time before 'anger' gets out of trouble. If you want to delay longer, maybe you can only repeat the process just now!"
"Oh."
Luna seemed to know that the situation was urgent at the moment, but she quickly responded and didn't say anything more. On the other side, Hermione looked back at Harry and said:
"Harry, you hear me! We'll try to hold 'anger' and keep the situation here - it won't be long, so you only have... Half an hour at most, and when 'anger' is stupid enough to fall into the same trap again... Half an hour, can you do it?"
"If you can't, you have to do it, don't you?"
Hermione doesn't need to explain her decision, even if it's actually very risky. It's like a child's play to some extent. If it fails, the best situation will be that the devil "angry" escape leads to the complete failure of the mission, and then it will be more difficult to find a chance to kill it.
As for the worst case... The ferocious and crazy behemoth in front of us has never been a good angle. No one can predict what kind of attack will be launched against Hermione after breaking free from the shackles! The war of encirclement and suppression was originally a gamble on thin ice. What's more, in today's disaster land, who is not ready for sacrifice?
"Be careful. I hope I can 'see you again'."
Hermione nodded at Harry, and Harry responded immediately. Then the latter pulled Alexander's arm, stepped on the broomstick and left without looking back to the south.
"Cover!"
Hermione shouted and, together with everyone, attracted the trapped "angry" attention as much as possible, creating the most precious opportunity for Harry and Alexander to go around behind each other.
……
In this case, it must be unreasonable to resolutely choose saving people as the priority action in pure rational thinking. But just now, neither Harry nor Hermione hesitated for a long time and made a tacit decision.
This actually shows that in the hearts of Hogwarts, the lives of their partners at the critical moment of life and death still exceed the overall situation.
This concept may be called "childish" in the eyes of some people who really focus on the overall situation. But if you narrow your vision a little, when you become a member of their group, this desperate spirit of supporting each other will become the strongest and powerful spiritual pillar when you encounter life danger.
For example, Alexander now, even if he only witnessed Harry and their attitude towards Ernst in distress, a warm current gushed out from the bottom of his heart. He had some experience of this sense of security in professors such as McGonagall, but in any case, it was never as clear as it is now.
"By the way! Alexander, haven't you met anyone else on your way here?"
Just when he was secretly moved in his heart, Harry, who was flying aside, asked such a question coldly, which immediately stunned him a little.
"Others? Ah!"
Alexander was stunned. Then he finally remembered some experiences that had been almost temporarily forgotten because of Ernst's crisis and the siege of the devil's "anger".
"Yes... Although I'm not a 'man', I did encounter... Two black guys fighting on the way here. They looked like demons, but they were much smaller, I'm not sure." he said, "in short, I didn't dare to stop and observe, but just flew over and ran away."
Except for the "lust" on the sea and the "anger" he had just seen, Alexander did not directly encounter several other demons, so that he was not very clear. In fact, most demons are just taller than adults.
"Really?"
Hearing this, Harry nodded and didn't ask any more - when Alexander didn't have more contact with the "Lord of the living corpse", he wouldn't want to talk to each other about some conjectures that he couldn't even figure out himself.
But if it was Marca, what would he do after he noticed Alexander's passing?
If it were the former Marca, Harry would certainly be confident that the other party would immediately use his extraordinary wisdom to speculate that Ernst was in danger in the south, and immediately set out to rescue - just like his decision with Hermione.
But now... Even Harry is not sure.
