harry potter book of crimes

"...What, what's going on?"

As soon as she arrived at Hogwarts Great Hall, Pansy was confused by the scene here - all the Flint children had come to Hogwarts for help, but they didn't seem to take it seriously at all.

You actually still have time to read and play chess here?

And at this moment, Maka, who was looking down at a magic book, finally moved her gaze from the pages to the direction Pansy was walking from.

"Huh? Oh, you're back?"

After saying hello casually, Maka turned her head and said to the little boy who was whispering to Charlotte:

"Hey boy, she's the Pansy Parkinson you're looking for!"

"I don't believe it!" When the Flint child heard this, he immediately shouted, "I'm not a fool! You have already deceived me once, do you think I will be deceived again?"

"It makes sense," Maka said, and suddenly shrugged, "It's a pity that the reason why you found out that you were cheated just now was because I reminded you?"

After the child heard this, he immediately felt depressed and quickly looked away.

"You are a liar anyway, and liars must have bad intentions!"

"But what he said is true?" Charlotte next to her saw the boy looking at her again and couldn't help but whisper, "Don't you want to find Miss Pansy Parkinson? The one who came now is indeed

It’s her—don’t you still believe what I say?”

Before he finished speaking, the boy who had shared the same hatred with Charlotte just now hesitated, and finally turned his head again and simply turned his back.

"You and him are in the same group!"

"Look!" Maka stretched out her hand to Pansy at this time, "Parkinson, I can probably guess why you ran back alone, and I also know that you are a little confused about the scene here. But now you can see it too

, that’s why we all seem so idle - because this guy doesn’t think we are very reliable, so he refuses all help.”

Pansy on the other side looked at the situation in front of her and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. However, because she didn't know the child and had no friendship with him, she quickly put this matter aside.

"Anyway, Professor MacLean! I...I want to ask you to help my friend!" She pleaded, "Look, don't you have a reason to come forward now? Just go with me to get Iluli."

Get rescued!"

"No!"

Before Maka could speak, the Flint child suddenly spoke first:

"Iluli doesn't need you to save her! Who knows if you will harm her instead... What's more, as long as I don't go back now, the only person left who knows about our Flint family's heirloom fairy armor is

The next one is Iluli! Mother can’t do anything to her!”

Maka, who was sitting across the table, immediately raised her eyebrows when she heard this.

"Oh?" He immediately asked curiously, "Did you come up with this idea?"

"Of course!" The child raised his chin and snorted, "I secretly hid all the fairy armor in a place no one knows. I only told Eluli the location! As long as

If she doesn't tell anyone, she will be safe!"

"Well, I still have some sense," Maka nodded, "However -"

"madness!"

Before Maka could finish her words, Pansy suddenly became excited and shouted out all her catchphrases from back then.

"Do you think Iluli will be fine like this? Don't you know that this will only make her suffer more torture? If your mother dares to use the Cruciatus Curse... Oh! That is simply unimaginable!"

"What?" When the child heard this, he finally trembled as if he was frightened, "The Cruciatus Curse?"

As the youngest son of the Flint family, he certainly has not experienced the horror of this unforgivable curse personally. But even if he has not experienced it personally, he has still seen it.

When he recalled the painful and ferocious look on his face when one of his servants made a big mistake and was punished by a curse cast by his furious mother, he couldn't help but tremble with fear.

Perhaps it was from then on that he first had the idea that his mother was a "devil".

And just as his breathing gradually became faster and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, Pansy just paused for a moment and asked again:

"Speaking of which, when you left home, why didn't you go with Iluli? If you wanted to escape, wouldn't it be better for two people to go together? Why——"

"Because she doesn't want to leave!"

Probably because Pansy pressed her every word too hard. The boy was still a child after all, and it was obvious that he couldn't hold on in his regret and guilt.

Immediately, I heard him almost yelling:

"I tried to persuade her several times, and I even went to see her secretly before leaving - but she just refused to leave! She also said something, 'Since my mother chose to work for the Flint family all her life, then I will too.

"I'll be like her," such inexplicable words come from me!"

At this point, he said with annoyance:

"Why does a person have to live for his mother's words? Even if his mother is buried in the soil, she still insists on it... I can't understand this kind of thing!"

The boy's words made everyone in the auditorium turn their heads.

Perhaps at that moment, many people were confused and confused, and only a few people could somewhat imagine that this child was actually much more confused than everyone else.

When the auditorium was silent for a few more seconds, Maka, who was sitting opposite him, said noncommittally:

"I remember you said before that Iluli has always taken care of you since you were a child, right? Then let me ask you, if Iluli were to be your mother... would you still think of a mother?

Isn’t it worthy of being obeyed?”

After all, it was just that the child had not turned around in his head. After Maka reminded him in an understatement, he froze there on the spot, with his mouth slightly open and unable to speak for a long time.

After Maka said those words, she stopped disturbing his reflection and stood up immediately.

"Parkinson, I still remember that you once praised your friend's wisdom in front of me. I think... as long as her brain is not broken, she will definitely not even mention the fairy armor! Unless...

It's only when you have a last resort and need to save your life that you use it as a threat."

After a little comforting Pansy, who had become quite impatient, Maka waved her hand and said:

"Okay, now that I've heard so much about your friend, I'm a little curious! Let's go, I'll go for a run with you and have a good chat with the Flint family... To be honest

, these pure-blood wizard families in the British wizarding world should have tidied up a long time ago. This time, let’s pave the way for Kingsley!”

In the future, once Scrimgeour's term expires, Kingsley will most likely be the next Minister of Magic - even if not, Maka plans to push him to the post.

And by then, if the Helbo matter has been resolved, it will be time to purge the British wizarding world.

Obviously, this will be Kingsley's responsibility and his political achievement.

Speaking of this right-hand man who was left to him by Dumbledore, he has already helped Maka a lot, and now Maka doesn't mind paving the way for him.

So it was obvious that taking action on the Flint family, a family that even other purebloods disliked, was a good choice no matter how you thought about it.

"Hey! Boy, if you have figured it out, then come up and be a witness. Anyway, your surname is Flint, and today's incident can be said to be caused by you... Then you can

There is an obligation to see it through to the end.”

Seeing the young wizard known as "Professor Maclean" greet him and then turn around and walk towards the door of the auditorium, the boy finally stood up and chased after him.

…

As Maka said, as long as Iluli's brain is not broken, it is impossible for her to tell the other party that she knows about the fairy armor unnecessarily.

In fact, since the Flint family is currently in chaos over the young master's escape to Hogwarts, no one is looking for trouble for Iluli anymore.

But... of course, because the boy followed Eluli's instructions, it took him a whole morning to find the correct way to Hogwarts. So after he was found missing, he went all the way to his home

People heard that during the period before he appeared at Hogwarts, Iluli actually suffered a lot.

"call--"

In the underground detention room, she breathed out softly, and the whip marks on her back and arms were still burning and stinging.

The long whip transformed by the magic spell does little damage to the body, but it increases the pain of the whipping. This is a punishment commonly used by wizards in the past when they tortured prisoners.

Even in the former Hogwarts, this kind of quite harsh punishment was implemented for students who committed theft, intentional injury and other serious crimes - Filch was not an alarmist at that time, this kind of punishment

But it was strongly supported by Salazar Slytherin.

Now, Ilulie has also tasted this "outdated lynching" that Mrs. Flint particularly loved.

"Judging from Madam's expression after hearing the servant's whisper, the young master should have arrived at Hogwarts? Well, he doesn't run very slowly, otherwise the news from Hogwarts wouldn't have arrived at noon.

It has spread to the family."

Of course she would not have thought that Charlotte had deliberately spread the news about Hogwarts. She thought it was because the young master had a particularly smooth journey!

But after lightly laughing, Iluli shook her head slightly.

"Looking at the way he acted before he left, he must not be willing to leave me here like this. Sigh... I just hope Pansy can be wiser and not come here alone! As for the rest... let it take its course.

Bar!"

Finally, she leaned against the cold wall with her uninjured shoulder and said lightly to herself:

"Mom... who is dad? Why can't I find any trace of him?" (To be continued)
