harry potter book of crimes

The temporary selection test ended with an unsurprising ending, and Maka successfully became one of the youngest players in the history of Hufflepuff and even Hogwarts.

Judging from the strength he has shown, this title would have to be more accurate if the word "strongest" was added.

As Maka expected, his study time was greatly reduced. However, the training plan was very fulfilling. While Maka became more familiar with various formations, Darren designed new actual combat tactics.

This is the strongest Hufflepuff has ever been, so they also came up with the idea of ​​competing for the Quidditch Cup!

And this new tactic is the latest winning strategy based on basic scoring. It can be said that the addition of Maka has given everyone a desire for the Quidditch Cup, which is a big deal for the low-key little badgers.

Rarely occurs.

Because of this, regarding the news of Maka joining the team, all team members unanimously stated that they would never leak it out. In the next showdown with Slytherin House, Maka will appear as a surprise soldier, and those little ones who always like to do little tricks must be eliminated.

The snakes will be beaten to death!

As a result, Maka seemed particularly busy in the following days. Either in the library or on the Quidditch pitch. Whenever Maka started practicing, there would always be several senior Hufflepuff students around the pitch.

Wandering around. It seems that this surprise attack plan has been carried out quite thoroughly by these hard-working, focused and low-key little badgers.

Before you know it, Christmas is coming.

On a particularly cold morning, everyone discovered that Hogwarts had been covered with a thick layer of snow. The beautiful white scenery outside the window was telling everyone that this year's Hogwarts was the first.

The snow has been sent to the ground unknowingly in everyone's sleep.

There is a layer of hard ice on the lake behind the castle, which makes the students very happy. The ice sleds piled in the utility room can finally be used, so everyone no longer has to take the swaying boat during the Christmas vacation!

The Weasley twins were recently punished for enchanting some snowballs that chased Quirrell around and accidentally hit him on the back of his turbaned head.

.

At that time, Maka happened to pass by a window upstairs. The scene made him feel happy, Voldemort was so unlucky!

Several owls delivered mail on a windy and snowy night. They went through a lot of hardships and even lost a lot of feathers. They had to rest for a while under Hagrid's care before they could continue their work.

Maka’s owl Mafa seems to be very curious about the snow. This may be because it will never be able to see such a scenery of ice and snow in its hometown of Sumatra!

Maka watched it hovering high in the sky, sometimes flapping its wings to climb higher, sometimes swooping down and passing by at low altitude. From a distance, no one would think it was just an owl.

Recently, Maka has been wandering around the sex zone at night, and his understanding of black magic has gradually deepened. However, he still has no plans to study the most dangerous sex. He thinks that the time has not yet come, and there is no need to do it himself.

Looking for trouble.

So, while accumulating experience in preparing potions, he began to compete with transfiguration. To be precise, this was a long and never-ending journey with various biological and non-biological materials.

The road to death.

Since there is no shortcut, we have to learn from Hermione. At least, the research and memory of various materials can also help the progress of potions to a certain extent.

Speaking of which, Christmas is a holiday.

Last week, Professor Sprout came over to register the list of students staying at school for the holidays. Maca hesitated and signed it. He planned to take advantage of the holidays to visit Luna. He has been busy since the beginning of the school year, and Christmas

Going out to relax during the holidays is also a good choice.

Moreover, he found that ever since he mastered the Patronus Charm, he had missed Luna a little bit. He felt that he should have a sister-like feeling towards Luna!

It's impossible to say that he is actually a lolicon?

"No, no, no, this is absolutely impossible." Maka shook her head, feeling funny at her own thoughts.

At this moment, Maka was on his way to the Potions classroom, and he had a few questions to ask Snape.

But when he quickly turned the corner of the corridor, he found the huge Hagrid - he was hugging a fir tree that was bigger than him.

The originally spacious corridor was blocked tightly by him, making it impossible to pass through.

"Hey, Hagrid, do you need help?" In the gap between the branches, a head came from the opposite side. It seemed to be Ron.

"No, I can do it, thank you, Ron." - It was indeed Ron.

"Can you move out of the way?" Maka suddenly heard Malfoy's cold, drawl voice coming from behind the fir tree.

"Do you want to earn some pocket money, Weasley? I was thinking that you probably hope to guard the hunting grounds after graduating from Hogwarts, right? Compared with your original home, Hagrid's hut is

It must look like a palace!”

Ron's head immediately retracted from the branches, obviously angered by Malfoy's sarcastic remarks.

"Weasley!" Maka heard Snape's voice.

"Someone provoked him first, Professor Snape." Hagrid stretched out his big, shaggy head from behind the tree and said, "Malfoy just insulted his family."

"No matter what, hitting someone is against Hogwarts rules, Hagrid." Snape said in a smooth tone, "It is a wise choice to take the initiative to accept the punishment like MacLean. Gryffindor is

Five points deducted. Weasley, you should feel lucky that I didn't punish you to wipe the trophy. Okay, let's go, all of you."

When Malfoy on the side heard the last name "McLean", he immediately showed a look of gritted teeth. It seemed that he hated Maka very much.

When he, Crabbe and Goyle squeezed past the tree with deliberate rudeness, knocking the needles to the ground, and walking forward with annoyance on their faces, he saw Maka.

Malfoy immediately wiped away his anger from his face and walked past from the other side of the corridor as if he hadn't seen it. However, his deliberate behavior of staying away from Maka fully exposed the timidity in his heart.

"It seems the punishment is still effective."

Maka glanced back, but happened to catch Malfoy's still-hateful eyes. When he saw Maka looking over, he immediately turned his head back.

"...But maybe it's not enough." Maka smiled and then walked forward.

"Professor Snape, excuse me," Maka said, calling to Snape who was walking to the restaurant, "I wonder if you have time to help me answer a few questions about Potions."

Snape turned around, still looking at Maka coldly, and then raised his chin to indicate that he wanted to ask quickly.

"Oh, it's like this-"

Just as Maka was asking, Ron couldn't help but whispered to Harry: "I really admire Maka, who can still ask questions normally under Snape's freezing eyes..."

"I think the time when Snape's attitude is at its best is when Maka goes to him to ask questions." Harry took a moment to glance at Snape's expression, and then continued, "It doesn't seem to be much better.

.”

"Even I can't figure out Maka's progress in Potions class," Hermione said with regret. "Although I often go to him to discuss some topics, I don't know anything about what he wrote in his notebook recently.

can't read."

In fact, as far as the recent situation is concerned, although Maka said she was asking Snape to ask questions, it basically turned into a discussion between the two of them on a certain potion theory. While Maka gained a lot,

In fact, Snape also got some more novel inspirations from the topic.

Of course, the Potions Master's knowledge is no joke. In most cases, the discussion will end with Snape correcting Maka.

But it must be mentioned that in Snape's deep heart, the shadow of Maka, a student, seemed to gradually appear. Because in many discussions, he was keenly aware that Maka had almost the same characteristics as him.

The philosophy of magical research - to achieve the goal regardless of all standards of good and evil.

In their minds, there is no substantial difference between black magic and white magic, both can be used. The difference only lies in the user's moral code, nothing more.

Perhaps, even Maka herself didn't realize this, but Snape, who had been trapped in a more terrifying darkness, noticed it.

After clearing up the doubts encountered in the research, Maka said goodbye to Snape and walked towards the Harry trio who were waiting for him. Behind him, Snape looked expressionless again.

After staring at his back for a while, he suddenly turned around and walked towards the restaurant.

Perhaps only Dumbledore truly understood what Snape was thinking.

When Maka walked up to Hermione, they were chatting with Hagrid.

"Oh! You've finally finished asking. Come with me to the restaurant to have a look! It's really wonderful!" Hagrid laughed happily, and the fir tree in his arms was trembling with his laughter.

, more needles fell.

"Let me help you, Hagrid, you're about to blow away all the needles on it!" Maka took out her wand and cast a levitating spell, making the fir tree float above everyone's heads and float forward with him.

"Oh - actually no, I mean, thank you." Hagrid said sheepishly.

So, Harry, Ron and Hermione followed Hagrid, his fir tree, and Maka to the Great Hall. Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick were there, busy decorating Christmas decorations.

"Aha! That's a nice levitating charm, Mr. Maclean." Professor Flitwick said happily, "Just put it there - in that corner, okay? This is the last one."
