harry potter book of crimes

Maka never expected that his inadvertent words could change the trajectory of history. This was something he should have thought of but could not predict.

Neville was not injured because of him; Malfoy did not pick up the memory ball because of it; Harry also had his talent as a Quidditch seeker discovered by Professor McGonagall because he did not fight for it with Malfoy on his broom.

In the eyes of others, everything was normal, and even the person involved, Harry, would not feel any violation about it.

But Maka is different. He doesn't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. This can only be said that the world he lives in is a real world that is visible and tangible - he already understood this when he lived in Plymouth.

. But it wasn’t until just now that he truly realized what it meant!

Should he maintain the world in his memory; or should he abandon the past and use his own body to touch and feel it?

Thinking of this, Maka couldn't help but shook her head.

Perhaps, from the moment he was here, he shouldn't think about these irritating things. The butterfly's wings always flap down inadvertently and instinctively, and it can never predict how this change in airflow will affect it.

What consequences will it cause? Instead of worrying about these uncontrollable things, it is better to face the unknown future calmly.

Maka never thought that she was a great person. She might have some small achievements, but that was all.

"Enjoying life is the right thing to do!" Maka sighed.

"This sounds like an old man's argument." Hagrid also came over - he was also watching the game from Gryffindor.

"Yes! Maka always likes to say things that only old men like to say." Ron also laughed and said.

"This is wisdom! You don't understand!" Hermione has been admiring Maka since she was rescued from the troll rod.

"This is wisdom! You don't understand!" Ron said to Harry, imitating Hermione's tone, which made Harry laugh.

"snort!"

Hermione was ashamed and angry, and turned her head away from Ron. But Maka was walking next to her, and when Hermione turned her head, she happened to meet Maka's eyes.

"..." Hermione was stunned for a moment, then blushed slightly and turned her head away.

After the troll incident, the relationship between Hermione and the two of them was not so tense. This seemed to be because Harry and Ron were the first to rush to the bathroom. Maka didn't know the specific details, but the Lion Court trio

It is a good result that the group can continue to be friendly.

After a while, they and Hagrid returned to the hunting cabin by the Forbidden Forest. The owner was making them a cup of strong tea. Maka followed this time, obviously wanting to continue his practice of preparing potions at Hagrid's place.

—He has been here several times.

"It was Snape," Ron was explaining to everyone. "Harry bumped into Snape at Filch's place and one of his legs was seriously injured."

"Snape was injured?" Hagrid asked curiously, "What did he do?"

Harry, Ron, Hermione and Maka exchanged glances, not knowing what to tell him, and finally Harry decided to tell the truth.

"I discovered something about him," he said to Hagrid. "On Halloween, he tried to get past the big dog with three heads. It bit him! We thought he was trying to steal something the big dog was guarding.

Hearing this, Hagrid put down the teapot heavily.

"How do you know about the three-headed Lu Wei?" he asked seriously.

"Three-headed Fluffy?" Harry said.

"That's the three-headed dog we saw."

"Yes! It's mine. I bought it from a Greek guy I met at the hotel last year. I lent it to Dumbledore to guard -"

"What?" Harry asked eagerly.

"Okay, don't ask anymore," Hagrid said rudely, "That's Secret No. 1, do you understand?"

"But Snape wanted to steal it!"

"Nonsense," Hagrid said again, "Snape is a teacher at Hogwarts, he would never do such a thing."

"But why would he be...yes, Louie - bitten by it?" Harry said loudly, "I heard him say so himself!"

"I tell you, you are wrong!" Hagrid said irritably, "Listen to me, all three of you listen to me! You are meddling in things that have nothing to do with you, which is very dangerous. Forget that big dog

, forget what it is guarding, this is between Professor Dumbledore and Nicolas Flamel—"

"Aha!" said Harry, "so there's a man named Nico Flamel involved, right?"

Maka glanced at Hagrid helplessly. He was only involved in one aspect of the whole thing, but he almost understood the overall situation.

And Hagrid was standing there furious - he was angry with himself.

It's better to cancel the original plan first. Hagrid is angry at the moment. He doesn't think it is a good choice to stay and prepare the potion now.

…

Time passed and the years flew by. Although it hadn't snowed yet in Hogwarts, the weather was already very cold.

One thing I have to mention is that with Maka's unremitting efforts, he has successfully developed a new invisibility potion. Not to mention the long-term practical training, even the potion formula has been changed again and again, which is really difficult.

It's hard to explain clearly.

But fortunately, no matter what, it was finally completed.

That night, Maka drank the potion and plunged into the secluded area of ​​the library. He couldn't wait for the dangerous and mysterious black magic!

Before, he had already learned about magic books ordered from Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, and had even learned some spells involving dark magic, but those were all carefully screened by the Ministry of Magic and the professors at Hogwarts.

If you want to truly understand the essential difference between black magic and white magic, you still have to go to the ** area and take a look.

"Uh-huh——"

The first book Maka opens has extraordinary characteristics of black magic. As the reader opens it, a frightening face will protrude from its pages, and a shrill scream will shock the soul.

.

He quickly tapped it with his wand to smooth out the magic fluctuations, and the human face calmed down and returned to the original appearance of the book.

"This kind of cry seems to be a cry originating from the soul, not an actual physical sound wave." Maka frowned and thought about it, then turned to the title page of the book.

"The weight of the soul comes from the unbearable lightness of sin. - Ragnar Bastos"

He saw that under the word "weight", someone also wrote several small numbers and letters - "0.675oc m".

"Ancient unit of ounces?" Maka had some guesses, "Is this the weight of the soul? How was it measured?"

He quickly browsed the catalog and found that this was a book on the in-depth study of soul magic. Although it was full of theoretical research and had no practical application records, it was undoubtedly a very typical black magic book.

After reading for a while, Maka realized that something was wrong - there was still a vague magical wave in the book, which made him a little uncomfortable. It wasn't until he closed the book that the uncomfortable wave disappeared.

After that, he read several books in succession, which were all about in-depth exploration of various dangerous and mysterious magical knowledge. Some of them were quite resistant to being opened and struggled to close themselves again.

"The more you try to touch the essence of magic and the knowledge of black magic, the more closely related it is to human personality. What does this mean?" Maka left the ** area and sat down by the window of the library, relaxing because of the various dangers.

Nerves that are constantly tense due to black magic.

Filch seemed to have come over to inspect because of the commotion just now, but Maka didn't even look at him. She just took a step to the side when he passed by to avoid being hit directly by him.

On the other hand, Mrs. Norris looked at Maka who was hiding in confusion, but found nothing.

In Maka's view, those erotic contents all torture the reader's personality and heart. Some books are even directly cast with such magic, allowing readers to always feel the emotions that come from the depths of their souls.

Questions everywhere.

"No, there are some books in there that I can't read casually at this moment." Maka wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead and dragged his tired body back to the dormitory to sleep. He needed to relax.

Give your brain a good rest.

A few days later, Maka prepared half a dozen new invisibility potions and put small waterproof labels on the bottles. The new names Maka gave them were clearly written on the labels.

——Xianyin Potion.

It looks very good, but in fact he just rearranged the words "fairy" and "invisible", and his lazy nature is clearly revealed.

Then, he secretly came to the territory of the Whomping Willow outside the Forbidden Forest.

Since some time ago, at Maka's request, Professor Sprout from the herbal medicine class would often take him with him to take care of this strange plant that likes to seduce people.

Professor Sprout is the head of Hufflepuff. She is a very kind and optimistic person, and she always shows an unabashed preference for the students in her house.

Maka, who has outstanding academic performance, has definitely become her favorite student. As for Maka's request, Professor Sprout has never refused to provide help so far!

This even included permission for Maka to apply for "borrowing part of the second greenhouse"; and working with her to take care of the whomping willow tree that other students are prohibited from approaching.

Of course, although part of the reason for this was curiosity about this plant, Maka was mainly interested in the secret passage leading to Hogsmeade under its roots.

At this moment, standing out of reach of the arrogant Whomping Willow, Maka did not try to rush in to find the so-called "scar" that could make it quiet. There were so many tree scars on the trunk, but he didn't know

Which one it is, I’m not interested in trying it one by one.

He took out a small metal whistle, put it to his mouth and blew it gently. The silent sound waves went straight to the Whomping Willow, and it immediately trembled and became motionless.

"It still looks quite beautiful, full of greenery," Maka looked at it and said, "If you don't move around casually."
