harry potter book of crimes

Stewart once had a free, wonderful, memorable... but not very lucky marriage.

I remember that more than ten years ago, when he had always been very honest and responsible since he was a child, he thought that he was destined to be "arranged" by his parents to have a lifelong partner like the young masters and ladies from other families.

Yes, this must sound a bit frustrating, but Stewart at the time didn't find it difficult to accept it. After all, no matter what era it was in, this habit of marriages full of entangled interests existed to a greater or lesser extent.

However, when that British girl with a particularly bright smile suddenly broke into his life, he felt that his world was instantly lit up!

"At that time, I had just graduated from Ilvermorny, and I was at home during the holidays preparing for the exams for staying at school. One day, I felt too bored after staying at home for a long time, so I randomly found a Muggle-owned coffee shop.

Relax and feel..."

Different from the British wizarding world, although the United States also implements the "International Statute of Secrecy", due to the relatively special immigration history at that time, there was not much of a barrier between wizards and Muggles.

After all, the "pure-blood theory" that is most likely to hinder equal exchanges between the two has never been very popular in the American wizarding world. The first batch of wizard families who immigrated to the United States were originally a group of secretly controlled families who did not like pure-blood families.

Did society just escape from the UK?

Of course, let’s put this boring history of magic aside for the time being, and now let’s return to Stewart’s tragic love story!

"Actually, I haven't really seen what your mother looks like, but she was really beautiful at that time. Moreover, she also loves to laugh. Whenever she sees something interesting, she can easily make her laugh.

…”

When Stewart said this, his eyes seemed to be deep in memories, but he seemed to be observing Maka's expression. As he spoke, he suddenly said:

"McLean...if your mother is like this, I think it is more likely that you are my son."

Is that mother of yours beautiful?

Yes, even though my mother is actually not very good at makeup, her makeup has always been very tacky. But I have to admit that even her rather bad makeup skills cannot completely cover up her excellent foundation.

only……

"'Love to laugh'?" Maka shook her head, "It's okay...at least in my impression, she doesn't laugh much."

Although there was no guarantee that her mother had lost her smile due to a bad relationship experience, Maka didn't actually think that Stewart's one-sided sensory memory was accurate.

Because if according to what the other party said, wouldn't the girl in his mouth become a "big fool" who would just have fun by herself when nothing happens?

Although Maka didn't think that mother was that smart back then, she wasn't a fool who snickered all the time.

However, although Stewart still firmly believed in his own memory, he had also thought of the former possibility.

"Don't you like to laugh?" After hearing Maka's answer, he couldn't help but look a little sad and said, "Well, it's all my fault... I was too obsessed with staying in school to serve, so that after being with her,

I didn't even spend much time with her...I even said harsh words later, which hurt her heart."

Stewart seemed to blame himself very much, and felt very sorry for losing his lover back then. In this regard, after feeling that the other party was truly sincere, Maka didn't know what to say for a moment.

But, did his mother really have a period of extraordinary purity like Stewart said?

Obviously, the more Stewart talked, the more Maka felt that the girl he was talking about was very different from his own mother. Even if he was there for a while, there was no evidence to prove that the other party was wrong.

"Sir," Maka thought for a while and couldn't help but said, "Although I don't have a clue yet, at least the girl you mentioned is not very similar to my mother... Well, why not, you

Do you have a picture of her?"

When Stewart heard this, he immediately shook his head and said:

"Because she didn't like taking pictures, so until we got married and she left without saying goodbye, there was only one magical portrait of the wedding... That painting is hanging in my bedroom now, otherwise

, will you come with me to take a look?"

"Oh no, I'm sorry," Maka immediately waved her hand and said, "It will definitely not be possible in the near future, but after the current disaster is over, I certainly don't mind paying a visit!"

"Well," Stewart felt a little regretful, but still nodded slightly, "It's okay, I can understand... But it doesn't matter. In fact, I still have some evidence that can prove that you are probably my child!"

"Yeah?"

"Yes, as I mentioned just now, you are most likely the heir of Slytherin!"

For some reason, Stewart's words were particularly firm, as if he was very sure of his conjecture. So, what was the reason that made him so sure?

Maka was startled, and then asked:

"Why do you say that?"

"This is naturally because of that black giant monument," Stewart immediately replied, "'Bewitchment comes from the soul, from the human heart, so I tame it with arrogance, control it with strength, and pass it on with blood...', this

This passage is written in our family's genealogy. This means that only true Slytherin blood can control it and use it."

Having said this, he paused for a moment and then added:

"And as far as I know, my bloodline seems to be the only one left in the world that originated from Salazar Slytherin."

No, obviously, the descendants of Slytherin are not limited to the Stewart lineage. For example, Delphi, as the daughter of Voldemort, has the blood of the Gaunt family flowing through her body to some extent.

But to say that Maka is also a descendant of Slytherin is obviously impossible.

Maka just thought for a moment, and soon she heard him suddenly whisper in a hoarse voice:

"Kah ho hiss... kah la ho hiss... ha ha ha ha sis..."

This is Parseltongue!

When Stuart heard this parseltongue, a smile of surprise immediately appeared on his face. The heir of Slytherin must know Parseltongue!

"You know Parseltongue! You... you really are"

But before Stuart could be happy for a while, Maka suddenly spread her hands and said:

"Yes, Parseltongue. But unfortunately, this just proves that the possibility of me having Slytherin blood is extremely low. Because, I reluctantly learned this Parseltongue after a lot of research.

...And most of the true heirs of Slytherin are born with it!"
