harry potter book of crimes

"Ta, ta...ta."

The footsteps stopped after entering the door. Obviously, it was different from last time.

After Maka confirmed this, she couldn't help but nodded secretly, and then turned her back to the door and said:

"Roynamira, we meet again."

After the words fell, the other party did not respond quickly. But until then, Maka took a step back and turned around, looking over with a complex look mixed with expectation and scrutiny.

The first time he came here, he didn't even have time to take a few more glances before he was dragged into the trial by the opponent's formation, so today he first wanted to take a closer look - take a closer look at this man who was said to be the leader of that era.

The true appearance of the wisest witch.

I have to say, Rowena is a beautiful woman.

The oval-shaped face is fair and beautiful, and the long black curly hair falls on her shoulders like a waterfall. Her eyes are deep and bright, and there is determination born of full self-confidence between her brows, as if everything in this world is at stake.

It won't sway her.

In addition, she was obviously still very young when she left this image, and the crown that belonged to her was still worn on her forehead. The slender gold strands were interspersed in the soft hair, which made her beautiful appearance even more beautiful.

Looks exquisite and attractive.

There is a portrait of Ravenclaw in Hogwarts Castle, but she was already close to middle age at that time, and her confident determination gradually became more like a kind of harshness over time, which made people feel sad.

It was daunting. If Maka was to speak, the young Rowena in front of him would definitely be easier for him to accept.

And just as Maka was silently sizing up the other person who stopped at the door, the other person was also sizing him up. After the two looked at each other calmly and critically for a moment, Rowena on the opposite side looked at him and said calmly.

:

"Young candidate, how many times have you been here?"

She has a very pleasant voice, and at the same time, compared to the other party's seemingly cold expression, there seems to be a little more warmth in her tone, and she is not as repellent as Maka imagined.

Of course, compared to her tone, what she said is actually more worth pondering - it seems that the "image" left by Rowena is different from the Godric in the Sword of Gryffindor

, and does not have the ability to continuously store memories. Perhaps she can judge through some details that this is not the first time Maka has come here, but when it comes to the situation when Maka came last time, there is no way to know "her this time"

of.

"The second time," Maka thought for a while and said, "Besides, I am no longer your 'choice'...or you can say, I haven't been from the beginning."

After a few seconds of silence, Rowena frowned slightly.

"Helbo escaped from the seal?"

"Not only that," Maka shook her head, "How should I put it... Oh, he summoned the 'devil'."

After saying this, he saw that Rowena didn't seem to show any surprised expression, and his whole person remained calm as before.

"Really?" She blinked slightly and said slowly, "So, Youn failed."

The "Eon" in Rowena's mouth naturally refers to her unknown husband - Eon Ravenclaw, the man who tried every means to complete her plan.

A man who has managed to extend his life for thousands of years without being a ghost.

It's a pity that although the idea of ​​using meteorites to destroy the Devouring Mirror is a good one, the stakes are too high. How can it be so easy to accomplish all the results in one battle?

"It was taken advantage of by Haierbo," Maka shrugged. "It was not the mirror that was destroyed in the end, but our Hogwarts Castle."

"The school is gone."

Compared to the previous content that would have been thrilling to anyone who heard it, this incident seemed to move her even more. She saw her frowning again, with a complicated look in her eyes.

Seeing this, Maka had to add with some comfort:

"Don't worry, I have transferred all the teachers and students in advance."

After listening, Rowena said nothing.

She just continued to be silent for a moment, then closed her eyes slightly and said:

"You are a smart man...I understand what you just said. Indeed, you are not a candidate, nor should you be - the hat is on the wrong person."

"Yes, that's it," Maka said, spreading her hands. "By the way, I once doubted your true purpose because of these tests. But now it seems that maybe I have to say 'sorry' to you."

'——I seem to have completely disrupted your carefully prepared plan."

After hearing this, Rowena quickly shook his head.

"No, you don't understand...no one can blame anyone for this matter." She said, but then she said, "You just said that Halpo used meteorites to destroy the school, right?"

"Yes."

Seeing Maka nodding to confirm this again, Rowena continued:

"So, the things I asked Helga to hide have fallen into his hands?"

"No." Maka shook her head lightly this time and said, "The stone box is in my hand, and I drove him away."

"You? drove him away?"

This time Rowena was really a little surprised. After all, Maka had just said that Halbo had summoned the demon, and Rowena naturally knew what that guy would do after summoning the demon.

So, driving away the ancient dark wizard Helbo who had the body of a demon? Even in the era she lived in, this kind of thing might only be done by the terrifyingly powerful madman Godric Gryffindor.

It can be done.

Of course, Maka knew this, so he shrugged and said:

"I'm just 'prescribing the right medicine' - I studied the rules of the soul."

After Maka said these words, Rowena fell into deep thought again, as if she was thinking about something that was also quite complicated for her.

After a while, she stared at Maka closely and said something breathtaking:

"You fell into his trap."

However, Maka was not too surprised, he just smiled helplessly.

"Yeah!" he said, "His 'despicable' reputation obviously didn't come for nothing - no matter how I tried to expose him, he ended up using a conspiracy that I could never solve independently.

I. Well, Rowena...oh no, Rowena Mira, obviously you have also thought of it——"

Having said this, Maka reached for her waist and took out the stone box that he had found in Hufflepuff's secret room and protected from Halbo's robbery.

Then he let go and allowed the stone box left by Rowena to gently fall to the ground in front of him.

"...The last method he used," Maka said calmly, "is you."
