harry potter book of crimes

There are many people in the central square, and they are getting more and more popular.

But with the coordination of Hermione and the three of them, everyone kept a minimum of silence. Even if they wanted to talk to their companions, everyone kept their voices as low as possible, and no one made any noise here.

However, no matter how soft the voices of these volunteers are, once there are more people gathered together, it will inevitably become buzzing and noisy.

Fortunately, no one actually cares about such a small amount of noise now.

"Neville, do you know what it feels like when someone dies?"

Just as Neville was standing next to the mercury statue, looking at the increasingly crowded crowd around him, he suddenly heard Luna, who was leaning against the base of the statue and looking up at the sky, asking such an unreasonable question.

"What?"

Neville turned his head and glanced at Luna blankly.

But Luna didn't look at him. She just pursed her lips slightly, looked up at the "sky" above Spiral Town, which contained nothing but misty sunshine, and then shook her head gently.

"Nothing, I was just thinking... maybe death is not always a bad thing. The longer a person lives, the more trouble he will bring to others."

"No, that's definitely not the case."

Perhaps Luna's words made Neville involuntarily think of his parents and their foolishness and madness over the past ten years, and he couldn't help but want to deny Luna's words.

"I don't know why you say that, but Luna, I dare say that it is better to be alive than to be dead! Even if that will bring trouble to the people around you, but...who is not like this?"

Neville's tongue must be clumsy, and his mind may not be very bright, but he is right in saying that when a person is alive, there will inevitably be troubles, and when there are troubles, there will be trouble.

There are so many people in this world, you can't just kill them all with one spell, right?

However, although Neville's head is not bright, Luna is probably smart. Just like Hermione's original evaluation of her, even though this girl with long blond hair always doesn't think according to common sense, her erratic

Uncertain thinking often points directly to the answer itself.

"Anyway," Luna pursed her lips and said softly, "As long as I can help him."

…

Click, click, click, and there was another chaotic sound of footsteps on the street.

After Maka, who was talking to Xenophilius in the room, heard it, he finally stopped his seemingly aimless conversation, pushed away his chair and stood up.

"Mr. Lovegood, I think it's time for me to go."

When Xenophilius heard this, he couldn't help but look up at him, then nodded and said:

"Be careful."

"OK, thanks."

Before Maka left, she couldn't help but subconsciously glanced at Xenophilius one more time. Perhaps he had been focusing on other things, and he was only a little surprised when he took this last glance.

But it was by no means an accident that he discovered that this man seemed to be older than he remembered.

Needless to say, the father is worried about his children after all, even if he is willing to let the children go their own way.

Coming out of that small house, Maka still maintained his disguise, but in his eyes, he seemed to have a little more determination and confidence.

He slowly walked to the entrance of the alley, stopped for a moment in a blind corner that was invisible to others, and then began to block his breath and wait for the crowd on the street outside to gradually leave.

In that turbulent crowd, my past self was also mixed in, rushing to try to see Dumbledore again... Although in the end, I only took a look from a distance.

After waiting for the young volunteers on the street to pass by in a hurry, headed to Faversham Town to support the evacuation operation under the leadership of Hermione, Maka took advantage of this opportunity to step out of the shadow of the corner and trotted not far away.

Rush over to the square.

"Hey! Are they Mr. Longbottom and Miss Lovegood?"

"Oh... uh, yes... you are?"

Neville saw a figure walking quickly from the street at one end of the square, greeting him as he ran, and suddenly felt a little puzzled.

To be honest, he has met a lot of people since he came to this Spiral Town. Some of these people are saddened by the disaster, some are filled with hatred for the death of relatives and friends, and some even regain their courage and want to fight.

of.

But I have never seen anyone who can still show such a cheerful smile like the male wizard in front of me.

"I am an alchemist," Maka stood in front of Neville and spread her hands. "Mr. McClain found me and asked me to modify the alchemy formation under the statue."

While he said this, he also pointed towards the mercury statue in the middle of the square.

"Modify...the alchemy array?"

Neville was naturally unaware of this matter. He didn't even know that the strange-looking mercury statue at the back was actually a product of alchemy.

But of course, Maka obviously didn't say this to Neville.

"Yes," he nodded, and then looked at Luna who was standing behind Neville, "Just now, the news that Spiral Town has a second layer of magic shield has spread to the front line.

Mr. McClain was also very happy after learning about it. However, if this is the case, then the following control formation should be revised."

In the last time review, the reason why Luna failed to escape from Haierbo's clutches was actually just because she lost ten seconds.

If she can escape from the town before the other party breaks into the secret passage, she can successfully escape to a new refuge point, and Maka can also help her erase the remaining traces.

But it's a pity that even if Maka understands this, he can't revise his last failed plan and start over again. Because the moment he witnessed "that" Luna's death, the rules of time had already set the stage for that ending.

The shackles were on him and it was impossible for him to untie them.

Therefore, even if Maka still clearly remembers that Luna was slightly delayed in opening the secret passage for the refugees because she had to support two layers of magic shields, he would not be able to change from this "mistake"

.

What has "happened" cannot be changed.

"Miss Lovegood?"

Maka didn't say anything when she saw Luna, but just stared at her curiously, so she couldn't help but call her again.

But to be honest, he wasn't sure whether Luna noticed anything in him.

"Huh?" Luna heard him calling her, and then she came back to her senses and blinked, "What? Oh... you want to go down and tinker with the formation there?"

As she spoke, she looked back and forth between the mercury statue and Maka. She didn't know what they were comparing, but then she saw her nodding again and said:

"Okay! I'll open it for you."
