() To a certain extent, Hermione at this time finally began to feel the uneasiness that forced the three major families to end early. Because in the face of adversity, the most terrifying thing is often not the strength of the enemy, but the sneak attack and betrayal from behind.

Just like this moment, if what John said is true, then the family behind him—that is, the Stewart family in the United States, probably really planned it long ago.

But now, no one knows what the "stonemason's workshop" dominated by the Stewart family is going to do in Europe today?

Everyone doesn't even know if the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which has been closely related to the "Mason's Workshop" since ancient times... and even the Magic Congress of America, is now holding onto this catastrophic war that took place across the ocean. The same dangerous thoughts.

In this case, no matter what you do, you will be uneasy.

"However, I have not been able to really confirm the purpose of 'their' before, so all this is just a simple speculation based on what I have seen. Therefore, before I was able to meet Miss Granger, I I have always maintained a very cautious attitude towards the news I have obtained, and have not let anyone know... You should understand, especially those three families, if they let them know about this matter prematurely, they will definitely control the young lady The overall situation has a huge negative impact..."

Perhaps it was during this dispatch that John had already developed a great distrust of the family, so that when he had nowhere to go, he subconsciously developed feelings for Hermione, the people who had helped and tolerated him in times of crisis and desperation. A sense of fellowship.

Among other things, at least in the event of danger in this disaster-stricken land, Hermione and the others must be the ones he would most trust. Because he knew that at least these people would not use him or hold any hostility towards him for no reason.

"...Ah! Thank you."

Hermione, who was still immersed in uneasy thoughts, was stunned for a moment before recovering after hearing John's words, and then nodded at him, thanking him for being willing to think about herself like this.

This John Stewart is indeed worthy of being the elite of the American Masonry Workshop. The concerns he expressed from Hermione's point of view do exist.

Although the three major families are now committed to her command and command because of their respective decisions, they obviously will not be unreserved obedience. Once something unexpected happens, prompting their thoughts and judgments to change again, who can guarantee that they will not refuse to obey orders, or even act without authorization?

Especially when Harry and Maca, who can directly deter them, are not here...

Just now John insisted that Yegor would not disclose any information when he was present, but now it seems that it is extremely correct.

"Professor Lupine," Hermione pondered for a while, and finally couldn't help saying, "I'm starting to wonder if the time is right for the plan of 'sneaking behind enemy lines'!"

However, although Lupine not far away had the same dignified expression, he still shook his head decisively after hearing what Hermione said.

"It's too late to hesitate!" Lupine said, "I don't know if those guys will find out about our actions and take advantage of it during this period, but we definitely can't make Harry and the others give up their plan halfway and withdraw again." Here we come. Harry and Maca risked their lives to carry out the mission, once we set off, there is no turning back... You should know this better than me."

"Yes."

Hermione responded, pursed her lips before exhaling lightly, and regained her spirits and said:

"I understand! In short, the most urgent thing now is to find out the whereabouts and purpose of the second team that is suspected to be composed of silent people sent by the 'Masonry Workshop', and then proceed from this to bring American magic I have also figured out the situation in the world...Of course, it is best to solve the two things at the same time!"

"It's not easy," John said with a worried expression on his face. "At least the staff of the three families cannot be used for these two things. And you know, for the 'investigation of the American magic world', they It happens to be the most suitable manpower around us."

But this time, Hermione quickly fixed her eyes and said:

"No, don't forget that besides the three of the four major European families, there is another one!"

…

At this moment, Willie, who was surrounded by the enemy group together with Maca and others, naturally didn't know that Hermione in Hogsmeade village had already made plans to ask her father to come out of the mountain again.

Of course, even if she knew, she wouldn't say anything about it.

She would not dissuade Hermione from giving up such an idea, and if Hermione wanted her to help her go home and try to convince her father, she would probably not say no.

It's just that Willy is very clear that after finally making up his mind to entrust the entire family to him, his father will definitely not interfere easily again.

Especially when Willie asked for help herself, Mr. Blois, who used to be very doting on his daughter, would probably refuse even more firmly now.

Therefore, even if Willie, who is the daughter of the other party, is still in Hogsmeade, it is useless to Hermione at this time, and it will even be counterproductive in terms of her purpose.

Fortunately, at this moment, Willie is being soaked in water with Maca, Harry and the others...

Although the lake near Hogwarts Castle does not freeze until deep winter, even in seasons other than winter ~lightnovelpub.net~ its lake water is still icy cold. Now after losing the sunshine for a long time, the cold, even the magic spell can't completely eliminate the discomfort it brings.

But at least, Harry's previous guess was somewhat correct—although there were still living corpses in this lake, there were far fewer of them than on the ground!

"Sarah, I think you can stay here and notify Hogsmeade when we start to move."

Harry, who had just dealt with the last enemy nearby, swam back, and after getting close to Sarah, he said this to her through the air ball formed after the Bubble Curse was maximized.

But Sarah shook her head to express her refusal. She pointed to Maca beside her, indicating that she wanted to follow Maca.

For the whole plan, this is obviously not a relatively safe course of action, Harry hesitated and turned his head to look at Maca. But after that, he still didn't say anything, just nodded and then gave up continuing to persuade Sarah.

But in any case, after this, the most critical and dangerous action is about to begin!
