harry potter book of crimes

In the vast and endless starry sky, there is a planet called "Earth". Its blue appearance and flowing clouds make people feel relaxed and happy just looking at it.

And just in the northern hemisphere of this planet, northwest of the continent called "Europe", the British Isles is located here.

Our majestic and quaint Hogwarts Castle is located in the Scottish Highlands in the north.

There are deep and steady green mountains here, and the blue sky is within reach. Sometimes there is the sound of gurgling water in the mountains, and sometimes there is the whimpering of the distant sea breeze.

Perhaps sometimes, the desolation here makes people feel lonely; but most of the time, we will sing for this freedom.

However, in such a poignant and moving environment, on the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle, in the principal's office with clear windows...

A green young man faced a kind old man and stretched his hand to his waist.

He touched the columnar hardness and slowly extended upward. As his hand moved, a thick and long thing crossed the small round table and appeared in front of the old man.

The old man was stunned for a moment, then with a surprised look on his face, he took back the slender stick in his hand.

"This is--"

"I made this by referring to some ancient documents and combining it with some modern wand science," the young man explained. "Originally, I wanted to restore as much as possible the long-staffed wand in the ancient magic world, but in terms of details,

I couldn’t find much information at all…”

Of course, these two are obviously Maka and Dumbledore.

And on the small round table between them, there was a dark green staff that was almost the same height.

On the body of the staff, you can vaguely see many densely arranged ancient magic runes. It's just because Maka still doesn't understand many rules of runes, so he was not used in them rashly.

Only the gray stone embedded at one end of the staff was engraved by Maka with a regular rune representing cooling.

It is certainly true to say that Maca consulted a lot of information during the production process...

But what is the biggest reference? Of course it is the staff that he only saw for a moment when he was given the "Book of Sin" by his future self.

Although Maka still has some unresolved doubts about this matter, what really made this staff possible was undoubtedly that impressive glance at the beginning.

"...Is this staff any different from a wand in use?" Dumbledore asked with unusual interest.

Hearing this, Maka picked up the staff and injected it with magic power. Suddenly, the runes on the staff lit up one after another.

"This is actually just a trial work. It has two features -"

As he spoke, he lightly paused the staff. And just as he paused, flames swirled up from the top of the staff, entangled with each other and turned into a ball of fire.

"One is the preset magic spell...for example, this 'flame' does not require the guidance of spells or will. It only needs to consume a fixed amount of magic power to automatically form."

"This is different from the silent spell. It is completely 'automatic'." Maka explained emphatically, "However... because the default spell is constructed based on the magic text on the staff, at my current level, I can only

It’s just that you can construct some spells with simple magical structures.”

"Oh? So, as long as you use this staff, even wizards who can't do magic can use it?" Dumbledore said in surprise.

"Theoretically, that's the case," Maka nodded. "My original plan was to let the squibs use magic spells..."

"Oh - that's good, very good!" Dumbledore agreed repeatedly.

"But there are still many unsolved problems at the moment," Maka said frankly. "The squib cannot mobilize its own magic power with will, but if we want to make a staff that can automatically absorb magic power..."

He thought about it and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Then the squibs will have to run around carrying a tree..."

"It's okay, this is still under research! Don't worry!" Dumbledore said with a kind smile, "So, what's the second feature of this staff?"

"Save your magic!"

Speaking of this, Maka seemed particularly happy.

"Actually, this is an idea I just came up with not long ago." He said happily, "The magic power of wizards grows too slowly, and the means for rapid growth of magic power are extremely rare."

"So I thought about it - since I don't know how to increase the magic power, why not think about it from another angle?"

"This sounds interesting and a good idea..."

In the morning sunshine, Maka and Dumbledore conducted a detailed study on this staff, which looked antique but was actually brand new.

It wasn't until Maka suddenly realized that she still had a lot to do that this "academic exchange" finally came to an end.

Finally, Maka hurriedly left the principal's office under Dumbledore's gentle gaze. However, Dumbledore's Elder Wand was not handed over to Maka in the end.

Dumbledore, who was still sitting by the window, looked calmly at the clear sky outside, with a relaxed smile on his lips.

"This kid Maka has indeed embarked on a brand new path!" He rubbed the Elder Wand in his hand and said with a chuckle, "Perhaps, he really can use magic to change the world..."

Dumbledore and Maka, who were also candidates selected by Rowena, took completely different journeys.

"……fair enough."

After a long time, Dumbledore closed his eyes slightly, as if he was concentrating on enjoying the intoxicating warmth of the midday sun.

On the small round table in front of him, the broken Elder Wand lay quietly next to the black tea cup. In the hollow body of the wand, a trace of gray rose up with the breeze and floated leisurely to the sky outside the window.

…

That afternoon, black market.

Maka and some members of the Order of the Phoenix gathered in the emptied potion store warehouse to carefully check the key points of this operation.

Because the goal this time is to sneak into the underground of the Darkling Pavilion Wizards Union, the first thing that can be determined is that they cannot make too much noise.

As one of the largest buildings in the black market, Darkling Pavilion not only has a large number of employees, but also many guards.

Unlike Gringotts on the surface, Darklingotts has a deeper degree of cooperation with wizards.

Compared to the Gringotts defense system where wizards guard outside and goblins guard inside, Darkling Pavilion, where wizards and goblins are mixed, is actually more conducive to the implementation of infiltration operations.

However, the number of guards in Darkling Pavilion and the intensity of patrols are much greater than those on the walls of Gring Pavilion.

After all, the business involved in Darkling Pavilion includes hiring a team. If you want to control this business for a long time, Darkling Pavilion's own defensive strength is of course indispensable.

"...Anyway, there shouldn't be much of a problem with infiltration."

"However, after infiltrating, there will definitely be a battle. At that time, whether it is returning after the operation is completed, or retreating after the operation is blocked, we will need to face a 'response' problem."

"Regarding this issue, the plan we agreed on before can only be used as a reference baseline. The actual situation will always change..."

In the warehouse, everyone gathered in a circle, and Lu Ping reiterated the possible details of various actions.

Everyone here, including Maka, is listening carefully. After all, this will definitely be a very difficult operation, and the key is cooperation.

Maka's personal ability may have an impact that cannot be ignored. But even so, while everyone is acting together, if something unexpected happens...

Even with Maka's strength, it was impossible to save her companions from an invisible place.

After Lupine reiterated the infiltration plan, Maka took out the prepared package. Inside was two bottles of healing potions for each person, as well as many Immortal Potions.

"This thing is very time-consuming to make, and I can't prepare too much..." He greeted everyone, "However, there are many Immortal Hidden Potions - be careful when using them, and don't do anything to highlight your existence.

the behavior of!"

After distributing all the potions, Maka thought for a while, then took out another potion bottle and handed it to Lupine.

"You are the calmest here, and here is this for you - if something goes wrong and you need a large area of ​​cover, smash it to the ground!"

"What is this?" Lu Ping asked curiously.

"It is a kind of magic dust that can block sight and detect magic spells. It can also weaken the power of ordinary magic spells to a certain extent..." Maka explained, "Of course, don't expect to weaken it too much."

"This is great stuff!"

Lupine nodded repeatedly, but Maka glanced again with some reluctance.

"Don't use it indiscriminately. It's hard to find the materials to make this kind of magic dust. Its biggest use is in potion research... I also use a little and then a little less!"

"Oh... okay!" Lupine shrugged, "If possible, I will try not to use it."

"We still have to use it when it's time to use it. Our lives are much more precious than it!" Maka secretly gritted her teeth and waved her hands.

After a while, after confirming that everyone was ready, everyone began to disguise. This is a required course in Auror training, and it is also required among members of the Order of the Phoenix who often conduct covert operations.

Same thing.

There were a total of thirteen people involved in this operation, eight of whom retained the image of wizards; while the remaining five, under the effect of the polyjuice potion, transformed into five short goblins.

"Let's all move around and get used to our bodies as soon as possible, and then we'll start working!"

Maka, who also turned into a fairy, waved her hands, jumped up and down, and spoke in a sharp fairy voice.

Everyone couldn't help laughing as they watched Maka jumping up and down.

"Don't laugh," Maka said helplessly, "Especially the four of you - where do you think you can go?"
