harry potter book of crimes

When everyone learned what happened to Maka this morning, the sun had already set towards the western horizon. The red sunset covered the sparkling sea and burned half of the sky red.

In the living room on the first floor of the wizard's tower, Mr. Blois fumbled with the handle of the wand, and while reminding everyone not to be impulsive and panicked, he told Maka's situation with a serious face.

"...I must emphasize that Mr. McClain only asked me to take Mr. Porter there! I know that you may be worried, but after seeing his state in person this morning, I also think the same

We shouldn’t let too many people pass because it’s not a force that ordinary people can bear.”

"So, just wait here this time! I believe this is what Mr. MacLean wants."

Having said this, he finally added:

"By the way, there is another point that should be very important to you. Mr. McClain himself will definitely not be harmed by this accident, so... you don't have to worry too much about his safety."

After saying this, the living room suddenly fell into silence, and everyone was silently digesting the "big event" he just said.

After all, even if they don't understand the rules of magic, they still know that what Maka did must be very dangerous.

Especially Willy, when she heard that Maka had re-infused the blood curse that had been taken out of her body into her body, she gave her father a rare look. The look in her eyes seemed to be questioning

Why did his father not only try his best to stop him, but finally agreed to help Maka?

However, she still did not blame Mr. Blois.

After a while, Hermione, who had been sitting silently next to him, finally spoke.

"Mr. Blois... do you know why...why Maka specifically reminded you to let Harry bring the Sword of Gryffindor?"

Faced with Hermione's inquiry, Mr. Blois clearly showed hesitation. Because even though Maca did not explain it at the time, he already had some conjectures that were not difficult to infer.

In fact, Hermione could probably guess some of it herself, she just didn't want to believe it.

After another period of silence, Mr. Blois turned his head to look at Harry, and said with a slight frown:

"Mr. Potter, we should go. Mr. MacLean hasn't come back yet. Someone must go and take a look at the situation. And...get the sword."

Not far away, Harry, who was sitting with Ron on the barrel next to the shelf, heard this and subconsciously moved his feet. The sword of Gryffindor had actually been leaning against his arms, and the bright blade reflected

With the sunset projected in from the window, it showed a slightly deserted golden red.

However, his hands were still on his thighs, and he instinctively resisted even though he could reach the hilt of the sword by raising his hands.

You know, since he reluctantly accepted the sword of Gryffindor, he would even sleep with it behind his pillow and the hilt of the sword. This was the first time that he refused to hold the sword.

.

"Mr. Potter."

When Blois called out again, Harry pursed his lips tightly, held the sword with a sullen face, and then slowly stood up.

"...Harry."

Ron watched the other person from the side, watching the other person walk towards Mr. Blois step by step, and then the two of them walked out of the gate one after another.

During the whole process, everyone couldn't help but cast their eyes on the two of them, including Ron, who felt hesitant to speak.

But until the end, they all decided to obey Mr. Blois...or rather obey Maka's wishes, and no one spoke again.

Although, waiting is often unsettling.

"Click."

The door was closed.

However, the wait this time was surprisingly not painful, because before the friends even had time to think about it, the door that Harry had just closed was opened again.

Then, Harry and Mr. Blois both stepped back from the door.

At that moment, Hermione and others suddenly stood up from their chairs, and immediately after, everyone saw a familiar figure walking in from the outer door with steady steps.

And almost at the same time, everyone suddenly felt a strange aura coming towards their faces. That feeling was difficult to explain, perhaps it was something similar to that of an ancient king that would make people kneel down and surrender unconsciously.

Aura, if you take a closer look, it doesn't seem to be the case.

"It seems...Mr. Blois has told you everything about this morning?"

Maka, who had just walked in from the door, glanced briefly at the living room. As his gaze passed slightly, everyone had the illusion that his gaze was as real as reality.

"Maka, you...succeeded?"

Harry, who was standing next to him, hesitated for a moment and asked in a daze.

However, Maka did not answer immediately. He paused for a moment, as if he was still experiencing some feelings, and finally shook his head calmly.

"It shouldn't...can't be said to be a 'success'."

This seems to be a very difficult question to answer for Maka. Of course, what he is considering must be much more complicated than what his friends think.

And Maka is obviously very aware of this.

So after thinking about it for a while, he turned around and said:

"In short, there are still gains. At least I have regained the abilities that a wizard should have. I am probably even more suitable to deal with that guy Herbo than before."

After using these words to calm everyone's inner uneasiness, Maka waved her hand and gestured:

"Don't think too much, I'm fine... Oh, I just saw today's dinner is ready outside, so let's eat early! To be honest, I'm a little hungry."

With that said, Maka greeted everyone and walked out of the wizard tower, going to the camp outside to fill their empty bellies. When everyone saw that Maka was not abnormal, they also felt something more.

After getting up to the very strong momentum, they all felt much more at ease in their hearts.

However, Delphi, who was walking at the back, still seemed to have a trace of doubt in her eyes. She looked at Luna in front of her, and when she noticed that there seemed to be some confusion on her face, she couldn't help but walk up.

He asked seemingly casually:

"Mr. MacLean...isn't he the same as before?"

"Oh! Do you think so too?" After hearing this, Luna nodded immediately and said, "Actually, I feel the same way...Delphi, I think Maka seems to have become more handsome again!"

"ah?"

Before she finished speaking, Delphi looked at Luna with a stunned look on her face, waved her hand to her, and then ran straight ahead.
