harry potter book of crimes

"Actually, if you look back now, this whole thing is not that complicated. Rather, it is actually very simple - anyone who knows the existence of that box will definitely open it!

That is the power of cause and effect bound by rules, and no one can violate it, whether it is me, Rowena Ravenclaw, or Haierbo..."

"So, yes, according to my investigation, this is also the real culprit that led to the mysterious death of Rowena Ravenclaw that year - there are rumors that she died of a serious illness, but in fact... she was also entangled in the rules of cause and effect.

She ended her life with her own hands after realizing the terrible consequences in advance."

"It's a pity that although Ravenclaw relied on her extraordinary wisdom to leave a lot of preparations in the limited time before her death, she even succeeded in convincing her three friends and her husband under the premise of absolute confidentiality.

A careful plan was set up that spanned a thousand years."

"The entire plan is interlocking, with each important link being their respective inheritances, calculating the fall of the comet, sealing Haierbo, building a secret room to leave an orderly inheritance, and arranging the Sorting Hat to select the executor of the plan..."

"To be honest, Ravenclaw almost succeeded, just a little bit! Judging from the extensive research I have conducted based on clues for such a long time, if I had entered Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets first,

Maybe none of these messy things would have happened in the future!”

"According to her plan, the candidates will be separated from their emotions during the experience of the Dagger of Pain, and then in a ruthless and desireless state, they will eliminate the possibility of being invaded by the power of the Bewitched Monument, and collect seven of the seven items from that monument.

This evil carrier starts the inheritance of the great sin ritual. And then, there is the step of following the inheritance clues and entering Rowena’s secret room to obtain the Scroll of Truth!”

"At that time, candidates can be protected by the 'jealousy' of the Dagger of Pain and the 'arrogance' of the Monument of Bewitchment, and will not be tempted by the 'greedy rules' of the Scroll of Truth, and can access it in the safest way.

'Rule of Sloth', and complete the sin ritual before the arrival of karma, completely eliminate the hidden dangers of karma, and destroy the Box of Sloth along with the ritual."

"However, a thousand years is too long after all. It has been so long that even a generation of wise men like Rowena Ravenclaw can't make a perfect plan... I opened Rowena's secret room in advance because of coincidence. It was a mistake.

The opening sequence caused me to lose the clues and fell into a lot of fog, which made me unable to extricate myself. The plan to use the meteorite to destroy the Devouring Mirror to destroy the Halbo Horcrux failed, and the future was out of control and led to the worst ending..."

"The box was opened... It could be said to be by Haierbo, but to be more precise, it was by me."

This series of facts is really astonishing. Almost every detail can be confirmed one by one with the events that everyone has experienced over the years. This also makes Hermione and others present more and more confused as they continue to be surprised.

Feeling confused and uneasy.

Therefore, even if Maka actually still has reservations - for example, he did not say the fact that he had a confrontation with the afterimage of consciousness left by Rowena, but even if it is just what he just said, it is

It was enough to make Hermione and the others stunned on the spot and fell into deep shock.

So much so that I don't even know when Maka left.

I don't know how long it took before Sirius, who was the first to come back to his senses, murmured in confusion: "Then what? What was the reason why he woke up in the ice coffin today? In the end, he still didn't say anything."

"Well, he didn't say it." Ron touched his prosthetic leg out of habit, "But he has already told us the reason why he didn't say it, hasn't he?"

"That 'cause and effect' rule?"

Sirius frowned.

Although he was clever enough to capture this point from Maka's "give an example" narration just now, his understanding of what kind of power it was was still somewhat specious.

"yes!"

Ron, who had no idea about this, scratched his scalp and subconsciously turned to look at Hermione, only to see that Hermione was still deep in thought.

After another moment, several people saw her exhaling a long breath and saying feebly in a light voice: "'Cause and effect'... In the end, is it still like this? No matter how hard we work and how we grow,

In the end, we can only move forward while looking up at his back... Is everything we have done really meaningless?"

…

If Hermione came to the conclusion of being stubborn, questioning and giving up, then Harry's attitude when facing Maka who suddenly appeared in front of him was probably "never give in".

When he saw Maka appear at the door of the cabin, Harry ignored Ginny's subconscious obstruction and forcibly picked up the Sword of Gryffindor with an injury that had not yet recovered... and pointed the tip of the sword at Maka.

"Oh," Maka smiled calmly and shrugged while looking at him still lying on the bed, "When I think of the gifts I received after waking up, which were either cold eyes or sharp swords, I kind of want to cry...

…But even though I had already guessed this scene, I’m still here - long time no see, Harry!”

However, Harry, who was sitting on the simple bed in the cabin, still maintained the posture of holding his sword forward and staring at Maka without saying a word.

Harry has always been a very simple person. Even though he has changed a lot in recent years, in the eyes of Maka, who has been with him for a long time, his inner thoughts can still be seen through at a glance.

"Don't you want to talk to me more?" Maka sighed with a wry smile, "Forget it, let's do this... have a good rest, I'll leave first, see you later!"

Before he finished speaking, and before Harry and others could react, the figure at the door disappeared again.

Appeared briefly and then left again?

People don't even know why he came.

After a few seconds of silence, Harry, who was holding the sword in front of him, finally lowered his arm and fell into deep thought with an expressionless expression.

Maka's funeral will be held today, and Harry has already heard from Ginny about this. But he didn't expect that Maka, who was supposed to be in the ice coffin, would appear in front of him now!

Although Harry raised the Sword of Gryffindor very decisively at the first moment, to be honest, it was not until now that the two people in the cabin truly realized what had just happened.

"Harry," Ginny said blankly, "was that... Maka...?"

After Ginny asked this question, there was silence for a while, and then Harry on the bed grasped the cold hilt of his sword and said slowly:

"It's him."
