harry potter book of crimes

"Harry, Professor Snape said he was going to find your mother."

Hermione's words not only made Harry and Ron look surprised, but even Maka, who was about to rush over to stop Snape and ask for explanation, stopped running.

"What...what do you mean?"

Harry, who knew nothing about Snape's past, would of course ask this question. But Maka already knew all about those nonsense. When he heard Hermione say this, he immediately understood that Snape

Find out the true meaning behind these seemingly inexplicable actions.

If we only look at the surface, there is actually only one simple sentence - Snape has taken refuge in Grindelwald!

Once the cause and effect are known, it will be much easier to deduce the process. Obviously, Snape really wanted to hold Hermione hostage. If Greenwald failed on Maka's side, then

Hermione in his hand will become a powerful weapon against Maka.

Unfortunately, the mysterious floor-to-ceiling round mirror was too powerful. Snape and Grindelwald overestimated Maka's magical power after all, so this last plan became a waste.

Thinking of this, the complexity in Maka's heart was simply indescribable.

He didn't know whether these overlapping schemes were thought up by Grindelwald alone or together with Snape, but that was unimportant now. What was important was that these conspiracies

It was completely aimed at him alone.

Greenwald and Snape acted separately because they realized that he was unable to do anything at the same time. No matter which side succeeded, the outcome would be the same.

Maka was stunned, but Snape had already entered the sphere of influence of the circular mirror. However, he was shocked, and a ray of soul flew out of his body and flew straight towards the mirror.

Maka could even vaguely see that the translucent shadow that was exactly the same as Snape opened its arms, suddenly flew through the air, and plunged into the hazy mirror with great eagerness.

Although she couldn't see the other person's expression, Maka felt that it was probably the purest smile.

"Can you really find a dead person on the other side of that mirror?"

Maka thought for a while, then smiled bitterly and shook her head.

Even if Greenwald was not mistaken and this mirror did lead to where Dumbledore was, Snape would never have found Harry's mother in that white world. As far as Dumbledore was concerned at the time

Judging from what he said, dead people will not be sent there. It is not a place where the living and the dead should go.

There is the so-called "edge of hell", the place closest to death.

In Dumbledore's words, it is a transitional place that "is still a long way from true 'death'".

Maybe Dumbledore could find what he was looking for there, but if Snape went there, it would probably be more uncomfortable than dying. No, it wasn't just Snape, maybe even Greenwald would be the same.

Maca didn't know how Dumbledore got there, but he could still understand that even if this mirror could lead there, it would never be the right path.

However, he also understood that he could not stop Snape.

Snape's love for Harry's mother Lily is probably one of the most stubborn loves in the world. That love is so deep that it is a love that no one or anything can stop.

For this love, Snape could risk everything to protect Harry, who he hated so much, because although Harry looked exactly like his father James from the inside out, his green eyes were

Exactly the same as Lily.

In a world without Maka, Snape could give up everything for Lily and die silently; but in this world with Maka, he would still do the same.

Snape has never been a fool, and he will definitely not completely believe Grindelwald's words, but even if there is only a glimmer of hope, he will throw himself into the mirror like a moth to a flame, just for that one ten thousandth

hope.

In the distance, Snape's body fell into the snow, and the remaining body temperature melted the cold snowflakes and soaked his clothes. That scene seemed to tell the whole world, saying that from beginning to end

The man with a gloomy face also had a fiery chest.

Maka stared blankly at the figure lying in the snow, watching the flying snow slowly covering it up, and she couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.

Snape and he were both teachers and friends. Although the other person obviously betrayed him this time, it was really hard for him to be angry at this man. He was just thinking, would he do the same thing if he were in his place?

The answer was not difficult to come by, but it made him smile bitterly.

Unknowingly, Hermione, Harry and Ron had left. After that, they all said something. Although Maka listened for a while, she didn't care too much because of the stories about them.

, I already understand almost everything that I need to know.

At the moment, he naturally still has many questions in his heart, but there is only one that always lingers in his mind.

"Professor Snape," Maka asked softly in her heart, "can you tell me why you are holding Hermione hostage and not Luna?"

Snape, who was very close to Maka and had very frequent contact with her, knew that the person in Maka's heart was the Lovegood girl. But even though he knew, in the end he chose Hercules.

Min, this can't help but make Maka's chest feel tight.

Yes, if Hermione were used to threaten him, he would still obediently submit, but this was just Maka's way of acting. If Snape were to stand in Maka's position, Hermione's weight would definitely be

Far less heavy than Luna.

In this case, why did Snape choose to hold Hermione hostage? This is really intriguing.

Just like Snape knew Maka quite well, Maka already knew Snape quite well. But the more we knew about this kind of thing, the more painful and helpless it would be.

In Maka's silence, the remaining time flew by like running water. Not long after, when he suddenly found that the ticking sound like a clock in his ears suddenly disappeared, he knew that his short space journey had ended.

That's the end.

There was no time for him to delay any longer. The moment the ticking sound stopped, he quickly took out the time turner and turned the hourglass in the golden ring again.

As the strange scene like last time repeated itself, the day returned to night again, the blizzard slowed down again, and Hogwarts also moved towards the crisis that completely destroyed it.

Maka, who had been moved to another place in the snow, immediately determined her position and consciously moved herself further away from the position where she last appeared.

This time he no longer swept away the snow on the ground, but randomly chose a tree trunk to lean against, closed his eyes slightly, and began to think secretly.

In fact, he had already roughly sketched out the first step in his plan to save Hogwarts. Now he had to seize the time to sort out his thoughts before starting his action immediately.

Not long after, Makafu opened his eyes again, and after casually scanning the distance, he disappeared on the spot with a burst of space distortion.

On the hill in front of him on the right, he was still hesitating when he looked back in time for the first time, being restrained by the shackles of time rules and unable to move forward.

…

Four forty-two in the morning, Granger's house.

Hermione was sitting on her bed with a pale face, looking at the man sitting at her desk without saying a word. She didn't know why this man walked into her bedroom in the middle of the night, let alone why this man walked into her bedroom in the middle of the night.

What exactly to do.

It's not that she hasn't asked before. In fact, she has asked several times just now.

But at first, the other party impatiently told her to shut up, and then he just didn't bother to pay attention to her. The bedroom was now so quiet that it was eerie, but she didn't know what to say anymore.

As her academic performance has always been at the forefront of Hogwarts, she can guess that the surrounding walls, doors and windows must have been cast with silencing spells. But even if no spells were cast, she would not choose to shout for help, because the people living around

Only Muggles.

But at this moment, there was another uninvited guest outside the bedroom window.

Of course the person coming was Maka. At this moment, he was stepping on the magic book and stopped firmly on the side of the window. He could clearly sense the spells in the room. In addition to the silencing spells, there were some other spells.

Early warning protective magic.

But did he come here this time just to stand outside the window and enjoy the cool breeze while eavesdropping?

of course not!

Although the last trip back in time was not what he wanted, he was still forced to take action. The act of blocking Voldemort's soul back into his body made him understand the rules of the timeline.

So, since no matter what he does, he can't change the established facts - if he takes the initiative, will it be the same?

This time he hurried here just to test it out.

The exploration of magic is always inseparable from inference and experimentation. Even the study of world rules is the same. Being afraid of the shackles of time rules is a sign of caution, but Maka also knows in her heart that in order to truly figure out

Understand that you will never succeed simply by being cautious.

At this time, bold assumptions and practical steps are equally essential.

Before at Hogwarts, the first half of the action process was known to him; but now at Hermione's home, most of the interactions between words and deeds were unknown.

Here, he can let go of his actions and see to what extent the influence of the binding rule affects him.

These thoughts flashed through Maka's mind like lightning. He no longer hesitated and suddenly sank down, quietly opening the door to Granger's house.

He wanted to know what changes would happen if he stepped into the unknown.
