harry potter book of crimes

"Mr. Bernthal, I heard that you went to see me when I was away in the afternoon?"

As the principal of St. Mungo's Hospital of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and during this period of time, Maka has resolutely raised her trombone,... she can actually get some privileges.

For example, the tent that Maka just walked into was obviously larger than the surrounding ones. When Maka entered, he immediately saw Bernser sitting behind the desk, slightly lower

He raised his head and seemed to be reading a book.

Hearing a voice suddenly coming from the entrance of the tent, Bernser raised his head.

"Mr. McClain?" He was stunned for a moment, then greeted, "Oh, yes... I do have something to see you for!"

While speaking, Bernser suddenly stood up and walked quickly towards Maka.

"Mr. Bernthal, you say it! I'm listening!"

Seeing that Maka didn't seem to be very present, the expression on Bernser's face didn't change at all.

"Actually," he said with a slight frown, "there's actually no need to say more about the problem. You'll know it when you see it with your own eyes."

Before he finished speaking, Bernser rolled up his sleeve and stretched out his right hand that had been hidden in the sleeve of the therapist's robe. Then, an arm that looked too dry to be human appeared in front of Maka.

.

"Um?"

Maka hurriedly walked forward, lowered her head and looked at it carefully for a while.

"What's going on...what happened? What caused it?"

While he inspected Bernser's arm, he even touched the skin of the arm that was so dry that it was almost skinny. It had a rough touch that was similar to tree bark.

It is worth mentioning that Bernser has actually dealt with it once. He put an alchemy ring on his arm to block the spread of magical properties, so that the drying phenomenon only occurred on the golden

The part below the armband.

"It was a comatose patient with a necklace hanging around his neck... When I was examining him, I found the necklace hanging close to his body and accidentally touched it with my bare hands."

Bernser was also looking down at his arms, and there was a bit of a wry smile on his always solemn face.

"There is very terrible black magic on it. It is obvious, but I don't know what it is specifically," he said. "It was one of the last batch of injured people to be sent to the hospital."

"Um"

It was difficult to tell anything from the injury on the arm. After checking it carefully for a moment, Macaza could only detect a wave of alien magic power in the withered arm that was not Bernser's magic power.

"Mr. Bernthal, where is the necklace you just mentioned? Can you let me see it?"

"Of course, I'll stay here just a moment."

As Bernthal spoke, he pulled out a small box from the drawer and placed it in front of Maka on the desk.

Maka Jianzhang then waved his hand and let the box float smoothly in front of him.

As the lid of the box was opened, a string of exquisite-looking silver necklaces mixed with an abnormal fluctuation of magic power came into Maka's eyes.

"It's a curse..."

Maka gently hooked her fingers to make the necklace float out of the box and rotate a few times in mid-air.

"And it's still a curse in ancient magic. But...Mr. Bernthal, is there anyone else who has the same symptoms as the comatose patient?".

Upon hearing this, Bernser immediately shook his head and said:

"No, there is nothing similar except that patient."

"Then take me to see it first!"

Maka signaled Bernser to retract her arms into her sleeves, then turned around and walked out.

…

Since a large part of St. Mungo's is filled with patients, when the team came to camp here, a lawn was set aside as a patient area to treat patients who needed a quiet environment.

and life.

On the way to the tent where the patient was, Bernser told Maka that he had promptly implemented an isolation treatment plan for the patient. Except for him and the other main therapist responsible for the disease, no one

Allowed to step into it.

Of course, Maka is obviously a special case. Because even if Bernthal had not warned the several Aurors guarding there in advance, the latter would probably not let Maka in.

Following Bernser, he walked forward, and after passing through the front and middle parts of the patient area, he finally came to a tent at the very back.

There were two guard wizards standing at the entrance of the tent. When they saw Maka and Bernser, they immediately gave a slight salute. Then they began to conduct security checks on the two.

After the two passed the security check, they entered the tent used as a temporary ward one after another.

But as soon as she entered, Maka discovered that just as Bernser said before, a patient was being tied up and placed on the hospital bed.

"Have you ever woken up?"

Maka was obviously a little confused about the situation in which they tied up the patient. Wasn't he comatose? What's the matter, the scene was temporarily changed?

"Oh no, I haven't woken up yet," Bernser immediately shook his head and said, "Just in case."

Regarding this over-cautious approach, Maka was actually non-committal, even if it was a bit salty, she still reaped more benefits than the other person who stood aside and watched coldly.

Of course, after all, it is just a relatively big storm at the moment. It is recommended to deal with it in a more vigilant way instead of distinguishing people so clearly.

Maka said casually as she walked to the bound patient and also examined the patient.

Ten minutes passed, but Maka still didn't stop. He found a mark on the other person's chest that looked very much like a necklace. Could it be that the silver necklace had "faded"?

Although saying it faded was a bit of a joke, Maka really wanted to know what the traces represented. At least, there was no magic power fluctuation on it.

"Mr. Bernthal, which part of the necklace did you touch before?"

He wanted to know why this patient had nothing serious and was just in a coma for a long time. On the contrary, Bernthal's arm had become "like that".

What's the difference between the two?

"Ah, it's the pendant part."

It is said to be a pendant, but it is actually just two pieces of silver, and there are not even any strange carvings on it... However, the curse in Bernser is no joke, it is a real curse magic.

After taking another look, Maka shook his finger and let the necklace fall back into the box. Then, he turned his attention to the patient again.
