harry potter book of crimes

"Ta, ta, ta ta ta... bang!"

The already twisted and deformed head of Demon Gluttony jumped, rolled, and rolled down the steps until it was suddenly stepped on by a big foot on the way, saving it from the stupid fate of becoming a bowling ball.

Harry's sword strike was just right, and he cut off Gluttony's head with great accuracy.

However, at this moment, the head that was stepped on by Maka on the stairs without looking back suddenly opened its eyes that should no longer be able to open. A fierce light appeared in those eyes.

The dark devil's eyes came out from the depths.

"Ah...McLean, you broke your promise."

Gluttony's mouth did not move, but the deep and thick voice still came from its head, echoing faintly in the huge main hall. That voice contained the power of soul magic, which was heard when the wizards cast many spells.

The noisy explosion is still clearly distinguishable.

You all heard this voice not long ago, it was Haierbo talking!

"Harry? You...you just discovered it?"

Hermione, who had just caught up with Harry, took this opportunity to finally take her willful best friend, bypassing Maka in the middle, and bring him back to Lupin and the other wizards.

It's just that Halbo's will appeared again and spoke, which naturally surprised Hermione. She was not only surprised by the changes that happened in front of her, but she was also surprised that it was Harry who opened the curtain with his own hands - he seemed to

I have noticed some things in advance that no one else has noticed!

But soon, Hermione discovered that Harry seemed to be even more confused than she was. When Harry heard this, he turned to look at her, then shook his head slightly and said:

"What did you find? Oh no, I just... I just think that one thing he said is definitely right, that is, all demons must be eliminated. Such powerful, evil and chaotic magical creatures, if even one of them is alive, they will be destroyed."

It will be a disaster for all mankind!"

"Well."

Hearing Harry say this, not only Hermione, but also Lupine and others not far away couldn't help but be stunned.

Yes, based on everyone's current understanding of those demons, Harry's view is certainly correct.

It's just that here today, Maka, who finally took the initiative to reveal her identity, was suspicious at every turn, and repeatedly emphasized in words and actions that she wanted them to continue killing demons, and she didn't even know whether she had hurt Harry personally just now, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

With just one sword, everyone began to have doubts about slaying the demon.

But now, the truth revealed by Harry's impulsiveness and straightforwardness made everyone else understand in an instant - the suspicious actions shown by the other party were probably a scam, taking advantage of their...

Just full of doubts!

And while everyone was trying their best to maintain the firepower of pouring magic spells on Maka, while secretly considering the changes in the situation at the same time, the conversation on the stairs continued.

One foot had easily broken free of the ice, and Maka, who had firmly stepped on the demon's head, shook her head, but still said very calmly:

"Your English is not good enough, Haierbo. This is not called 'breaking your promise' - you should say, 'McLean, your conspiracy did not succeed'."

"I don't care what your plan is! I only know that you promised me in front of the teacher that you would not... do anything to me..."

Haierbo was not able to finish his words. The sword of Gryffindor cut off Gluttony's head, which had cut off the possibility of it continuing to maintain soul contact with Haierbo as a Horcrux. Soon, everyone saw a blur of gray.

Shadows suddenly flew out from the mouth, nose and eyes of the demon's head, and suddenly rushed out in a certain direction.

When Hermione saw this, her heart suddenly moved, and she immediately turned around and shouted quickly:

"Safina, do me a favor!"

The next moment, a sea of ​​black fire suddenly burst out in front of the rapidly flying gray shadow, surging violently and completely submerging it before it burrowed into the wall of the hall.

After doing all this, Safina blinked her eyes, and glanced back and forth a few times between Maka, who was still motionless on the steps and was undergoing the baptism of the curse, Hermione, Harry and others.

Until just now, except for Snape who left early, she and Sarah were the only two people who had not taken any action at all. And to be honest, based on her position all along, she was actually not prepared to help anyone today.

No... even compared to Hermione's friendship, Safina prefers Maka's side, who has real kindness to herself and her sister.

Before today, helping Hermione was basically equivalent to helping Maka. In order to fulfill her promise, Safina did not mind working with Hermione and others who had the same purpose. But now, Maka finally shows up on her own initiative.

After that, the originally clearly visible path forward suddenly became confusing and distorted.

Before fully understanding the situation at hand, Safina did not want to get involved easily.

However, I don’t know if she has recently gotten used to the feeling of being with Hermione and others. When she heard the other person speak, Safina hesitated for a moment, but she still subconsciously helped him. And she also understood

, to deal with souls, her soul flame is naturally the most effective. Others may not be able to stop the gray shadow that is suspected of being a remnant soul from leaving. Hermione thought of this in a flash and asked for her help.

And to be honest, it would be better to burn it as much as possible than to just let the remnant soul leave.

"Uh-"

Listening to the faint roar coming from the heavy black flames gradually faded away, Hermione nodded to Safina to express her gratitude, but the latter curled her lips slightly without any expression.

And at this moment, everyone heard Lu Ping whisper:

"We should go."

"Let's go?" Harry heard this and unconsciously looked at Maka's figure who was still standing there, "But, Lupin, there is..."

"Of course I know," Lupine nodded, "Before that, we must find a way to get Miss Lovegood back."

That's right, although Hermione took advantage of the opportunity and brought Harry here just now, because Luna was too close to Maka, no one had a good way to bring her back with her. At this moment

, this suddenly became the biggest problem that hindered everyone.

However, Luna, who was still standing not far from Maka, obviously had no consciousness of being a "hostage" at all. She just looked at Maka, who was using her body to resist the heavy magic but did not take any more actions.

Although he couldn't get close, he was still worried about the other person.

"Maka, you look like you're about to turn into a popsicle."
