harry potter book of crimes

"I want to draw my sword" - this was Harry's first reaction when he realized that someone appeared behind him without any warning.

However, even if the voice was hoarse and low, and sounded disturbing, even if he quickly thought that it should be the Lord of Living Corpses, the demon "Greedy", even if he understood that the other party must have very terrifying power...

When Harry realized that it might really be Maka, he couldn't pull out his sword.

As for whether that is true?

have no idea.

Even though Hermione and Luna seemed to be becoming more and more confident as they went from suspicion to conjecture to speculation, in the final analysis there was still no conclusion.

This reminded Harry subconsciously of the time when everyone was taking exams together when they were at Hogwarts. It was like Hermione and the others had finished the test papers and whispered the answers in the corridor. Several classmates with good grades added up,

The answer becomes increasingly clear.

But the facts have already proven that even Hermione, even in her best subjects where she always excels, the final test paper scores are often not full marks.

Until the results come out, conjectures are just conjectures.

Therefore, Harry, who had never done well in exams, felt at a loss at this time. He just subconsciously held the cold hilt of the sword, as if he wanted to draw more from the sword named after "Gryffindor"

Courage, even if he just wants to turn around right now - he doesn't need to draw his sword, he just turns around and tries to face it, that's all.

He already had a lot of courage, but it was not enough for the possibilities he had to face at this time.

But unfortunately, the sword of Gryffindor is not called the sword of courage. On the contrary, it is the one that requires courage and transformation into strength. This is like a half-fed person looking for a poor and starving ghost.

How can you possibly get mediocre food?

So Harry didn't move, he didn't turn around, he didn't answer, and it was impossible to draw his sword. He just felt a little stiff, and for a moment he felt that he didn't know what to do.

Obviously, the quieter the surroundings are at this time, the heavier the atmosphere will become, so that it may make people breathless. But fortunately, the voice coming from behind did not stop.

"Don't you think they are the residents here? Although the birth process is definitely not beautiful, or even a little bad, but you see, they are also living beings... That guy Haierbo must be wrong -

—It's a big mistake, but what's wrong with them?"

After the words fell, Harry's ears finally became quiet. But this time, the silence was a little different, because it no longer made people feel heavy and hard to breathe, but it was more thought-provoking.

Because the pressure caused by certain uncertainties was gone, through these words, Harry began to gradually become convinced of the other party's true identity. So he suddenly felt that he could speak... but he still didn't know what to say.

The other party's question is too complicated and difficult, and he can't answer it.

After a moment of silence and thinking, Harry confirmed that he could not answer the question. Even if he had to answer, he could only answer "I don't know." Therefore, he also decided to ask a question and use a question instead of an answer.

"Are they...really considered 'life'?"

No matter whether they are low-level or high-level living zombies, they are really not good-looking, not even the twins. And when people look at them unpleasantly, it is difficult for them to have any empathy.

Some people say that the first impression often determines most of other people's perceptions, and perhaps this is the truth.

However, Harry, who was hiding in the invisibility cloak at the moment, looked at the busy zombies over there from a distance, and found that these guys who had once disgusted, hated, and even fought desperately on the battlefield seemed to be the same as what he had in mind.

The looks don't exactly match.

Those ordinary zombies, low-level zombies and some high-level zombies are numb and only have an instinctive aura, but some of the high-level zombies who are leading the command have a faint emotion.

Their feelings are naturally not as rich as those of humans, but they are still impossible to ignore. Some of the men will be angry if they are slow to move wood, some will be upset if the house is crooked, two guys are discussing together, and even Harry

I also saw a silly smile on the face of a tall and strong high-level zombie.

Yes, that face is a little ugly, and it is definitely not in line with human aesthetics. However, no matter how ugly the smile is, it will become beautiful because of its purity.

Just as Harry was looking at the picture in a daze, the voice behind him answered his question.

"In fact, life has many, many forms. Even if they don't have those expressions on their faces that can touch people's hearts, they can still be counted as life." The voice said deep and steady, "But I also think that people with these emotions

Life should be more beautiful, so I thought of ways to give them some emotions."

After hearing these two sentences, Harry immediately felt that he didn't know what to say. But he also realized that if he didn't say something, Hermione and the others would definitely blame him if they found out.

Maybe... I'll even get a scolding.

So, he finally spoke with difficulty and confusion.

"Why? Ma——"

He couldn't finish his words because a hand suddenly put on his shoulder and patted him gently, interrupting his words. The force of the hand patting on the shoulder was familiar, and the rhythm was

Peaceful, but dark in color.

"Go back and go with that Miss Granger! There is no need to come here alone wearing an invisibility cloak... It's really not necessary. After all, except for the fact that there is a lot of ice in this city, no one will stop you. You can always

Go walk around and see.”

After saying that, Harry suddenly felt relaxed all over his body. This was not because of the content of what the other person said, but because he could feel that the other person had already left with the last word.

While his psychological pressure plummeted, Harry felt inexplicably empty in his heart - even he was gradually convinced of the other party's identity, and he also heard some valuable information from the other party, but why couldn't he be happy?

Getting up?

After lowering his head and thinking for a few seconds, Harry realized that he couldn't figure it out with his own brain. He couldn't help but shook his head. So after looking at the living corpses who were repairing the house, he turned around.

, walked back step by step rather dejectedly.

Not long after, the gray cloak team that was about to pass through the outer suburbs suddenly had another figure. The high-level zombie leading the way didn't know if he noticed it, but at least he didn't pay attention to it.

"Harry? Didn't you agree to meet up inside? Why...are you back now?" Ron asked in a lowered voice.
