harry potter book of crimes

Perhaps because of the relatively high altitude here, and because there is no neon cover from the surrounding city, the starry sky outside the manor appears particularly clear.

Maka walked step by step along the stone path in the front yard. The night dew was heavy, and the bushes and grass leaves on the roadside slightly wet the hem of his robe.

He did not raise his head, not because the stars in the night sky were not beautiful, but precisely because it was so beautiful. Compared with this beauty, what he did in the manor behind him tonight was simply a sin.

"Is it 'arrogance'?"

Macca lowered her head slightly and murmured to herself.

Maybe it was arrogance! He thought that under the threat of Haierbo, doing this was just a "no way" thing. But in fact, he might have more choices, but he didn't try his best to think about it.

That’s all.

So, yes, this is probably a form of arrogance.

"Dad...Maka?"

At the moment, Delphi and Kingsley were following him, walking step by step. Neither of them spoke at first, until Delphi noticed that Maka was walking slower and slower, and then she couldn't help but speak, and

He almost called Kingsley "Dad" in front of him.

"Maka, you... I don't think you need to blame yourself too much," she paused, and then continued, "Giving Muggles, who are born with silent magic power, the opportunity to master power, in terms of results,

This is not necessarily a good thing. It’s just that the matter itself is too difficult, and it will inevitably require repeated experiments to accumulate data and experience, and it is inevitable that...some unforeseen accidents will occur."

Seeing what Delphi said, Kingsley thought for a while and couldn't help but take over the conversation and said:

"Yes! Mr. MacLean... This is an unprecedented research project. If it succeeds, it will be a pioneering work that can affect the entire era. And such an amazing goal always requires failure to lay the foundation for success.

Yes, it’s been like this since ancient times, isn’t it?”

Delphi and Kingsley were both trying to comfort Maka, trying to heal the somewhat ferocious wrinkles in his heart, and Maka naturally understood.

However, there can be many excuses, and you may be able to fool others casually, but Maka can never use them as a reason to deceive yourself.

After all, as Delphi said just now, an "accident" happened.

"Honestly, I'm not afraid of taking human lives. What I'm afraid of is... that those who are obviously innocent will be forced to throw away their lives for my ideas."

After listening to what Kingsley and Delphi said, Maka suddenly stopped outside the front door of the manor and whispered:

"And...Delphi, Kingsley, you don't actually have to worry too much about me. Because, haven't you been following me all the time, sharing this sin for me? With you supporting me, this

Will suffice."

…

This trip to meet the Muggle Queen didn't take much time. When Maka returned from the British royal family's manor with Delphi and Kingsley, she was immediately told by the old housekeeper that most of her friends were following Mr. Blois.

I went to the Paris Opera House to hear a mystery play tonight, but I haven't come back yet.

"Mr. Maclean, Miss Granger is in Miss Lovegood's room right now. Look... do you want to go and have a look?"

After the old housekeeper explained the situation, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something and made this proposal hesitantly.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

It's certainly okay to let yourself go see Luna and Hermione, but the old butler's expression makes people inevitably feel a little concerned.

But when the old housekeeper further told the truth, Maka immediately understood.

"That's right," the other party said with a smile, "Our young lady didn't go out with the master this time. She is now... with Miss Granger!"

"Oh, okay!" Maka nodded immediately, showing a hint of understanding, "I'll go over and take a look."

Hermione and Willie have always been at odds with each other, and they seem to have some minor objections to each other. Of course, it is impossible to say that they are hostile to each other.

It's just that this time they got together alone, and I don't know why.

Thinking of this, Maka could only bury the heaviness in her heart deeper for the time being, and then let Delphi and Kingsley go to rest first, while he walked straight towards Luna's room.

Not long after, when he came to the door of the room and paused for a while, in the quiet corridor, the conversation between Hermione and Willie naturally fell into Maka's ears.

"...Miss Lanjie, no...ah, your hands are so cold. And, I...is this really okay for me?"

"It's okay, Miss Blois, believe me... speaking of it, it seems that I haven't apologized for my previous misunderstanding of you! I'm sorry, I shouldn't..."

"No, it's okay, no need...oh! It hurts a little."

"Sorry, I tried too hard. But, to be honest, you are indeed a beautiful girl and your smile is very natural and cute now. But, I think you should pay attention to more things, don't

I live like a boy...you see, a girl's charm is always reflected in the details, you look more attractive now, don't you?"

"Oh, really? But actually, Miss Granger, you are also very beautiful. At least I don't think you..."

Maka was listening at the door, his expression seemed a little subtle. Of course, he was not here to eavesdrop on what the girl was doing together.

The next moment, he reached out and knocked on the door, and the room quickly became quiet.

"It's me, can you come in?"

Before he finished speaking, he heard footsteps approaching, and then the door was opened.

"Maka? Are you back so soon?"

As Hermione spoke, she stretched her head and looked left and right in the corridor, but there were only a few servants of the Blois family waiting silently at both ends of the corridor.

"Come in quickly!"

Seeing that there was no one else, she took a step back to let Maka in and asked casually:

"Where's Delphi? Didn't she go with you? Didn't she come together?"

"Oh, I asked her to rest first."

Maka walked in as he spoke, and then he looked at Willy sitting in front of the dressing table and was stunned for a moment.

"Maka, does it look good?"

Willie shook her head slightly, and her long silver hair looked increasingly as clear as frost under the moonlight outside the window.

However, it was different from her usual straight hair. Her hair had obviously been carefully arranged. Not only were she braided into two thin braids, which made her silver hair even more delicate and beautiful, it also blended with the rest of her hair.

Her hair was tied loosely at her lower back.

"Miss Granger did it for me!"

"Well," Maka saw this and couldn't help but look at Hermione next to her, and then smiled and said, "Yes, it's nice to see that Hermione is very good at playing with hair. I remember when she was in the third grade

At the Christmas ball, I dressed up very beautifully!"
