harry potter book of crimes

A long time has passed since the trial began, but Madame Maxime's zombie state still shows no sign of being lifted.

Perhaps because of fear of disturbing Luna, this room located deep underground became very quiet. Only Maxim would move from time to time and hit the black cage that trapped her, and a short muffled sound would be made.

And around the black cage, the silver liquid that was slowly floating like mercury endowed with vitality was still spinning around - Ursula and the receptionist witch, who had nothing to do for the time being,

I spent most of my time staring at these wonderful liquids, and while I had to marvel at their dazzling variety, I was somewhat frightened.

Based on their backgrounds and experiences, both of them certainly knew what the flowing silver liquid was. There was no doubt that this was the extremely corrosive and terrifying potion - the death potion.

Since this potion was inadvertently invented by a wizard who was good at alchemy many years ago, it has quickly been strictly controlled and is almost only used for executions. In recent decades, in the European magic world,

After the death penalty is gradually restricted or even abolished, the control of this kind of magic potion will naturally become stronger, and even many medium and small magic forces will not have any stock.

Considering that the International Federation of Wizards has already abolished most of the death penalty regulations, and there have been no death row inmates for a long time in recent years, there should not be much inventory at the Federation headquarters at present.

I don't know where Ajinbad got such a pool of death potion.

However, one thing is certain. The underground room where Madame Maxime is now detained must be the death chamber used by the Federation to execute prisoners in the past.

No wonder this place has been idle for a long time.

"Well--"

Ursula was sitting with her back against the wall, minding her own thoughts. Suddenly she heard Luna, who was standing not far from the death potion pool, snort softly. She was immediately confused with the receptionist beside her.

The members glanced at each other subconsciously, then raised their heads and looked forward.

"Miss Lovegood...? What's wrong?"

"Well," Luna's eyes remained on Maxim in the cage, and she said without looking back, "I think I have found a way to help Madam get rid of the living corpse... Continue

I have to concentrate when I come down. I may not hear what you say, so remember not to touch me!"

"Uh...oh, okay."

Anyway, this is what they did before, and there won't be any changes in the future. After seeing the receptionist witch nod her head, Ursula responded.

Immediately afterwards, the two of them immediately saw Mrs. Maxim, who was being stared at by Luna, suddenly trembled, and then she seemed to have suddenly lost her strength and collapsed in the floating black cage.

.

At the same time, a strange atmosphere seemed to gradually spread in this former execution chamber.

"Um?"

At this moment, the receptionist witch suddenly lowered her head and glanced at a federation staff badge pinned on her chest. It could be seen that there was a stream of light emerging from above, slowly flowing.

"Sorry, Miss Geofine, I have to leave temporarily. A colleague is calling me." She quickly raised her head and looked at Ursula and said, "Maybe something happened at the trial.

"

After saying this, she immediately stood up and walked towards the door.

"Then do I need to do something?" Ursula asked.

"No need for the moment. Miss Geofine, just stay here and continue to guard Miss Lovegood. Mr. President said that the most critical point today is whether Mrs. Maxim can be rescued in time."

', and other things will be handled by him as much as possible."

Perhaps the calling method just now was only used in very urgent cases, and the other party left in a hurry. After answering Ursula's question, she immediately opened the door and went out without any further waiting.

"Bang... click."

As the door was re-locked, the protective magic on the door was immediately activated again. While locking Ursula and Luna in here, it was equivalent to giving them a layer of protection.

After all, judging from the many "outsiders" who came to the trial today with their own thoughts, Madame Maxime, who turned into a living corpse in the death chamber, was actually less dangerous due to her heavy confinement.

"Miss Lovegood, you have to work harder!"

After a moment of silence, Ursula couldn't help but look at Luna's back and muttered - In fact, personally, she still hopes that Mrs. Maxim can recover. This has nothing to do with whether she is kind-hearted or not.

, just because during the short period of time she stayed at Beauxbatons, she and the other party had already had a lot of daily communication and care in daily life.

However, it is obviously not easy to stop Maxim's transformation into a zombie, or even completely remove it. Ursula, who has been working in vain all morning, understands this very well.

"Crack!"

A few minutes passed, while Ursula was still thinking about what might have happened at the trial venue, she suddenly heard the door lock ring again. Then, she saw the door reopened, and the receptionist

The member witch rushed in from outside again.

"boom!"

As she hurriedly closed and locked the door, Ursula heard her panting and saying:

"The head of the Brandt family knows that Madame Maxime is in the headquarters building! He applied for a search proposal inside the building at the trial meeting, and it was passed with a high vote. Now Ms. Dumitru is personally directing it

Combat staff and guard wizards from the Anti-Dark Arts Office launched a thorough search of the building."

"The rest of the federation doesn't know about Madame Maxime?"

Hearing what the other party said, Ursula suddenly showed a surprised expression. She obviously didn't know that such a thing existed from the beginning.

"Well," the receptionist witch heard this and could only nod her head and confessed, "Yes. But Miss Geofine, you should also know how sensitive the incident of 'living corpse' is nowadays.

, especially the one who has been turned into a living corpse now is Madame Maxime, the principal of Beauxbatons! Even if there is the most legitimate reason, it is not convenient for Mr. President to say more, let alone the current matter... How much is it true?

Some of it is unclear.”

The fact is just as the other party said, this incident of ordinary wizards turning into living corpses has become a mess because someone deliberately caused it.

And Ida Brandt, the only one who could give a more reasonable explanation, took the initiative to keep her mouth shut.

The incident is still unfolding.
