harry potter book of crimes

The rusty bronze wings were spread out as hard as they could, but they didn't move at all; the sharp claws dug deeply into the stone wall of the castle and were never pulled out; the fine hairs on the neck seemed to be swaying in the wind, but they were still there forever.

The ground froze at the last moment.

There is no doubt that its size is countless times larger than before, and its body and posture are much braver and stronger than before. It can be said that it finally shows what a raptor should look like.

But Maka could still easily identify that the eagle statue spreading its wings independently on the top of Hogwarts Castle was definitely the little bronze eagle that had led her on the "path of no return".

eagle.

However, I think that the little bronze eagle that liked to chirp the most has finally turned into a real bronze eagle statue, and can no longer say a word.

"...Did it drive away Haierbo?"

Maka hung her hands by her side, raised her neck and looked at the bronze eagle statue fluttering its wings from a distance, her brows furrowed tightly.

To be honest, although he had never wanted to deal with that guy, so he even deliberately avoided meeting him. But now, he couldn't help but feel an unspeakable feeling in his heart.

In particular, the bronze eagle had several clearly visible deep cracks on its body. Although it was far from being called scarred, it was really very concerning when you saw it.

"Well..." McGonagall mused at the side, "It can't be said that it was 'driven away'! When Haierbo tried to rush towards us, it activated an unknown protective magic... At that time, I

You can't move, and Haierbo is completely blocked out! The range is probably as far as the footprints left by the pair of Haierbo."

"'Can't move'?"

Maka almost didn't think about it, and quickly nodded as if she understood.

"That should be the result of solidifying space within a certain range."

Naturally, he still remembered what the Bronze Eagle had said very clearly that the entire school-wide space was reinforced by Rowena Ravenclaw, and the only one who could control this space was the Bronze Eagle as the key.

I remember that when Kitty casually mentioned this fact, Maka didn't know much about the rules, but looking back now, it undoubtedly involves the application of space rules.

"Rowner left this space rule on the bronze eagle, probably because he wanted to use it as the last line of defense for Hogwarts Castle, right?"

This thought naturally flashed through Maka's mind in an instant.

Yes, the Space Rules are one of the several third-level rule runes recorded on the 'Scroll of Truth'. Rules of this level would be fine if they were the incomplete runes that constitute the Traceless Stretch Spell, but if they were complete

The runes must require a massive amount of magic power to activate and maintain.

In this way, it does not seem so strange that the bronze eagle has exhausted all its magic power and even its body is cracking.

"No, wait"

Suddenly, as if Maka felt something was wrong, she subconsciously turned back and glanced at the entire Hogwarts Castle. A strange feeling made him close his eyes and meditate.

"What's wrong, Maka?"

Mag saw that he suddenly looked like he was deep in thought. At first, he was worried about disturbing his thoughts, so he didn't speak. But after waiting for a long time without seeing him speak, he finally couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing," Maka shook her head after hearing this and opened her slightly closed eyes, "Let's talk about anything else together! For example, when did Haierbo leave? What happened to the Bronze Eagle and him?

Have you said anything? And..."

Having said this, Maka couldn't help but pause for a moment, and then said slightly hesitantly:

"And... does the Bronze Little Eagle have anything you want you to tell me?"

"this"

When Mag heard this, he visibly hesitated.

"In my opinion, it should have something to say to you, but it didn't say it in the end... At that time, it said to itself, 'There is nothing left to say now,' and then flew away

We’re at the top of the castle.”

As she spoke, she also raised her head, looking at the bronze eagle statue on the top and said:

"... After that, I couldn't move at all, so I didn't know what kind of battle the two had after Haierbo also flew up and left my sight. When I finally could move

By that time, Haierbo had completely disappeared."

"'Nothing more to say'?" Maka chewed on this sentence for a while, then turned to look at Mag and said, "Is that all?"

"Ah! There's one more thing!" Mag thought again carefully, then frowned and said unconfidently, "Before it flew to the top of the castle, it seemed to have muttered something in a low voice... It seems

It’s related to Rowena Ravenclaw, the founder of Hogwarts…”

She struggled to recall the slight tone of the bronze eagle, and after a moment she slowly said:

"Maybe...'calculation error' or something like that?"

Even though Professor McGonagall was doubtful in what she said, obviously not sure of her own memory and interpretation, Maka's expression showed subtle changes again and again after hearing what she said.

.

"Royna? Wrong calculation? Where is the wrong calculation... does it mean 'Helbo reappears in the world'?"

"Well, it seems that there is a miscalculation here. After all, she originally planned to completely eliminate Haierbo, and for this reason, she did not hesitate to let her husband live into the modern age..."

"Ah! No, after all...what is Rowena's purpose?"

Yes, it has always been like this. The further Maka goes on the road of this so-called "candidate" and the more things he learns, the more he feels that it is full of contradictions and confusion.

At first, he thought that Rowena Ravenclaw, as one of the founders of Hogwarts, planned to select descendants to solve a remaining problem for Hogwarts. In fact, that was what the Bronze Eagle said from the beginning.

of;

But after that, when Maka gradually discovered more old news and secrets, Rowena... no, the impression of "Rowena Mira" on him seemed to be gradually filled with evil and fear.

However, after more and more complicated incidents happened, and when he pursued Rowena's remaining traces in the world from various other angles, the line between good and evil on the other party became blurred again.

Got up.

What is Rowena Ravenclaw planning... It seems to have become a "worst problem" with numerous clues, but in fact there is no one leading to the answer.
