"Arianna, you..." Aberforth glanced back at the two of them, but didn't say anything. He turned around again, "You know what to do."
The girl in the painting smiled slightly, with a hint of shyness, looking very calm. But everyone knows, and I believe she also understands, what she will do next.
The girl glanced back, then turned around and took a step toward the distant woods in the background of the portrait.
This time, she didn't get smaller and smaller with the distance as usual, and the frame was like the lens of a Muggle camera, following her all the time.
It didn't take long for everyone to watch her walk all the way into the slightly dark forest, and a small tunnel entrance gradually appeared in front of everyone in front of the painting.
"You don't have to go there yourself!" Aberforth couldn't help but say.
The girl turned back and smiled again at her brother who was outside the picture, and then she stood still on the side of the tunnel entrance.
And at the moment when she finally stood still, the whole picture frame opened automatically with a squeak like a door, revealing a genuine deep tunnel.
Aberforth, who was standing at the front, stared into the dark secret passage for a few seconds, and then, just like the younger sister in Shicai's portrait, he silently moved to the base of the wall on the side of the entrance.
It's just that his eyes are undoubtedly much sharper than his sister Ariana. Although he didn't say a word, when he was watching everyone in front of him...especially Hermione and Luna, he seemed to be silently asking a question. Question: Are you sure you want to go?
"We'll be back," said Hermione.
"With news of victory." Luna continued with a smile.
Hearing this, Hermione turned her head and glared at her.
"There is no 'victory'!" Hermione urged seriously, "Our mission this time is just to find a way to win! On this basis, we just need to come back alive, okay? ?"
"Oh, yes." Luna nodded again and again, and lowered her voice with a neck-shrinking motion, "Be careful of everything, go and take a look at it secretly, right?"
As she spoke, she looked down at her shadow in front of her, and immediately said, "Don't worry, Silly Bo will help us."
Before she finished speaking, the good friend who was hiding in her shadow sent her a will and responded affirmatively to her words.
"But 'she' has to stay in the secret passage in the end," Hermione reminded. "You know why, don't you?"
"Oh," Luna sighed regretfully, "yes, I know."
For a living corpse, the risk of getting close to the witch Kern is too great, and the danger is even more dangerous than the evil wizard Haierbo who brought them into this world. Although Silly Po's ability is particularly inclined to concealment, Luna, as her friend, does not want to let her take such a big risk to enter the present Hogwarts Castle with her.
Seeing Luna nodding towards her, Hermione turned her head and glanced around at the people around, and turned around with the former into the darkness of the tunnel amid the repeated warnings from everyone.
A lightless environment would be more suitable for Shaobo's ability to play. The two of them didn't even use the magic wand light spell, and they drifted away from the light of the entrance in the darkness.
In the end, with a "squeak", the frame was closed again, blocking the sight of everyone in the room in front of Ariana, who was standing in the center of the canvas again.
A moment of silence represents the complexity and heaviness of everyone here, but everyone also understands that some things have to be done by someone. As far as the current situation is concerned, it was actually the best decision for Hermione and Luna to go.
"With the current strengths of Hermione and Luna, there should be nothing wrong. We just need to wait patiently here while doing our part in earnestly!" said Sirius leaning against the wall. After saying a word, he stood up straight and patted his clothes before saying, "I should go to Inverness. The newly arrived troops of the Blois family should need someone who is more familiar with the overall situation of the front. I will be their guide. people."
As he said that, he left directly from the door, and the tall figure stooped and shrank as he passed by the window. Not long after, everyone heard a wolf-like bark, and it was obvious that they were far away.
"Sirius is right... Guys, do what you have to do!" Lupin said with a big wave of his hand.
"I'll stay here and watch."
Aberforth pulled out his wand and waved back, and a round stool slid under him from not far away, and he just sat down next to Ariana's portrait.
Lupin nodded slightly at him, then hurried away with the others.
…
"It feels so bad to see nothing."
In the dark and long secret passage, Hermione's voice suddenly sounded, breaking the restless silence that only the footsteps echoed faintly.
It's just that at this time, she obviously hadn't imagined that, without seeing her five fingers, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is more than just this little road in the secret passage.
"According to Aberforth, there seem to be brass hanging lamps on the wall, which can be lit by tapping them with a wand." Luna replied, "Of course, some of them may not be lit. You know, they're very old."
"It's better not to light the lights, it's just black when it's dark!"
"Yeah." Luna nodded in the darkness, "Sometimes from the light into the darkness, just to find another light through the darkness... That is to say, you always have to walk in the darkness."
"I wanted to ask a long time ago," Hermione said suddenly, "where did you hear these strange sentences?"
"My mother read me a lot of books when I was a kid, some by wizards and some by Muggles - that sentence was written by a Muggle writer."
"Oh, that's it..."
Maybe Hermione didn't really want to know about it that much, but the feeling of walking silently in the dark without saying anything was a little too unnerving. Especially when there is an extremely dangerous mission ahead, waiting for them to approach step by step.
After another moment of silence, Hermione put aside the somewhat meaningless question before, and said again:
"Luna."
"Um?"
Luna whispered suspiciously in the darkness.
"Did Maca's patron saint say anything other than let us start?" Hermione paused and asked, "For example, did you mention...other 'important items'... something like that?"
As she spoke, she touched the braid of the beaded bag subconsciously, not knowing what she was thinking.
