harry potter book of crimes

At this moment, the person who changed his appearance and followed Ta Weng was naturally Maka.

But why he chose to show up in front of this seemingly insignificant Squib, and even went to great lengths to pretend to be an Auror search and rescue team, it certainly wasn't just because he looked familiar and piqued his interest.

There is no doubt that Maka is very busy right now and has no time to spare.

In fact, the reason why he suddenly decided to show up was entirely because... when he was identifying Taon's identity outside the window, the stone ball on the top of his staff actually flickered!

This is no joke - you know, once this thing starts to move now, it means that there must be someone or something around it that will have a huge impact on the future.

You know, even the time when she helped Harry, who was holding the Sword of Gryffindor, the stone ball only had a slight reaction in the end. But this time, Maka just looked at the old Taon a few more times.

It was just his eyes, but the stone ball actually had the same reaction.

This caused him to have strong doubts and curiosity.

This "student parent" is about the same age as Sirius, but has a weird temper like Snape. What is the reason why even letting Maka meet him may greatly affect the future?

Of course, that is only "possible" after all. As long as Maka always pays attention to the reaction of the rune stone ball, he will be safe this time as he strictly abides by the lookback time limit.

Therefore, Maka turned into an Auror with this question in mind and took the initiative to try to contact Mr. Tavon.

However, in the short period of time they spent together, Maka's doubts not only did not decrease, but instead increased a lot because of the other party's somewhat unexpected and random actions.

In this way, although he was more convinced of his previous suspicions, he was also more curious about where the importance of this guy would be reflected.

Until... the top of his staff, which had turned into an ordinary long staff, suddenly flashed red again, symbolizing the change in facts.

…

"If the previous reaction was because I stared at him for a while longer... then what was the reason for this time?"

Lowering his head and glancing at the top of the stick in his hand, Maka concealed the light without being noticed by Taon, who was walking in front with his back to him.

At the same time, he began to recall the last few words of the conversation with the other party.

"...Is it because I mentioned myself?" Maka secretly thought in her mind, "Or is it because of what he said, 'Don't wait until the study tour is over and there's no school left'?"

After thinking about it like this, he couldn't help but shook his head.

If you only look at it from Maka's perspective, Taon's words are indeed worthy of attention - does this guy know about the falling meteorite? Or is it just because of Haierbo's various rampant actions that he made a blind guess?

One sentence?

But as for the seemingly illusory time rules, it doesn't seem to have much impact.

After all, even if the tower heard about the meteorite from somewhere, the big stone would still fall when it should fall. Even if Hogwarts was destroyed, it was just an empty castle anyway and could not be shaken.

What fundamentals.

Just as Maka was following the other party, observing the back figure in front of her, and considering what to do next, Tawen, who was walking in front, suddenly said something shocking:

"Mr. Auror... let me see, you are not actually an Auror, right?"

"Um?"

Maka didn't expect that her disguise would be seen through on the spot.

At that moment, he hurriedly recalled his previous behavior, including those words he had said that were basically unimportant.

Obviously, in such a short period of time, there was no reason for Maka to forget what he had done or what he had said. But just by recalling it, he confirmed that he did not seem to have exposed any flaws, right?

What's more, the other party is really just a squib. What can you rely on to expose him to his face?

Maka recalled so quickly that she almost didn't pause. As soon as the other party finished speaking, he asked:

"Sir, do you think there is any need for me to deceive you?"

"Humph, you can't tell!"

At this moment, Nataon still dared to turn his back to Maka and continued to walk forward steadily.

I heard him pause and then continue:

"I have to admit that your method of pretending to be an Auror is indeed very clever! I think you should know me and know that I have rarely been in contact with the magical world over the years... So in order to win my trust, you also deliberately pretended to be an Auror.

Something rigid that only the Aurors of my youth had."

When he said this, Tawen suddenly stopped and turned his head slightly. When Maka saw this, he followed him and stopped where he was. His expression when he looked at the other party did not change much.

.

And it was after turning around that Ta Weng turned around and said:

"But it's a pity that during the period when my son was in school, my life was not as closed-off as it was in the past ten years or so. And who are the people in the Auror office today... let me tell you clearly.

I can’t talk to Chu, but I have known him to some extent.”

As the other party said, since the Ministry of Magic has gone through several major changes in succession, there are indeed many younger people in the Ministry now. Although the chaos has caused everyone's vitality to be gradually replaced by pressure, but in the end it is still

It won't become as sluggish as it was more than ten years ago when it was mainly a veteran game.

However, although Tawen's words are quite convincing, and his personality has always been very strong, Maka has never been this way.

As soon as his thoughts changed, he calmly shook his head.

"Sir, I'm afraid your doubts are unnecessary - I am Auror Harlan Deluxe of the Second Executive Team directly under the Auror Command. If you really know something about the Auror Office, you should recognize me.

"

Bluffing people is also Maka's strong point. As for what the other party just said, once you examine it, you can find that it is just speculation. In the absence of conclusive evidence and the fact that he has not revealed any tricks,

It's obviously impossible for Maka to admit it herself.

Nataon couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly when he saw that Maka's face was calm and even her tone was as hard as when she first appeared in front of him.

Then, there was a moment of silence, until Maka suddenly frowned deliberately.

"Sir, I think it's best not to waste any more time."

He suddenly took the initiative and said:

"There are still many people waiting for rescue tonight, and I can't waste too much time on you. If you still have doubts about my identity, you might as well wait until you reach Diagon Alley before continuing to doubt - I think you should

If you know the specific directions to the Leaky Cauldron, you won't be led to any suspicious place, right?" (To be continued)
