harry potter book of crimes

When Maka saw Snape's wand suddenly light up, he thought of the scene where a curse was shot at him, and also thought of the scene where the curse was shot at Hermione.

He thought that the magic spell might be a control magic, and he also thought that it might be an interference magic. He was even prepared to break a life-killing curse.

But he never expected that Snape's curse would be a universal counter-curse.

The so-called universal counterspell is a counterspell that has a wide range of applicability, but can only terminate some of the effects of the curse. If a wizard doesn't know how to break a common curse, he will usually try this spell.

Give it a try.

Now Snape used this spell, and what he lifted was the magic rope and silencing spell on Hermione. Because of this, Maka, who reacted quickly, hesitated for a moment.

At this moment, the experienced Snape firmly grasped it in his hands. He did not try to attack Hermione or Maka, but once again made a move that Maka did not expect.

With a burst of space distortion, Snape decisively disappeared in front of the two of them without any hesitation.

Although Snape may be aware of the extent of Maka's magical power, he doesn't want to just leave. The meaning behind his Disapparation spell made Maka unable to help but feel silent again.

Obviously, Snape didn't want to do anything with him. For Snape, holding Hermione hostage was probably the last line in his mind. Faced with this student who made even his picky self very satisfied, he had no choice.

Wave the magic wand in your hand.

To say that in the current world, Maka is probably the only one who can make Snape achieve this level.

"...Maka?" Hermione climbed out of bed and whispered while rubbing her wrist, "Thank you for coming to save me...how did you know?"

When Maka heard the voice, she put away the complicated emotions lingering in her heart and smiled slightly at Hermione.

"It's more complicated to say," he said casually, "but actually, even if I don't come, nothing will happen to you..."

"How could it be! You don't know, when Snape suddenly appeared in front of me, I was shocked! Looking at the cold look on his face, I thought he was going to kill me!" After saying these words

Hermione looked very frightened. It seemed that she was really frightened.

"Anyway, now there is no more——"

Before Maka could finish her sentence, her expression suddenly changed and her heart skipped a beat.

"What's wrong?" Hermione asked strangely.

"No, um... let me think about it..." Maka shook her head and said, "Let me think about it."

After that, he sat down directly on the edge of Hermione's bed, propped up his chin and fell into deep thought. Seeing that he was fine just now, but now he suddenly had a serious expression, Hermione immediately didn't dare to go any further.

It's disturbing him.

On Maka's side, she was silently pondering, her brows furrowed tightly, as if she had encountered some huge problem; while on Hermione's side, she was also sitting on the edge of her bed, looking at Maka next to her, her cheeks

Slightly red.

How could she have imagined that Maka would actually sit on her bed and be in the same room with her. Although there was nothing charming about it, it still made Hermione blush and her heart beat.

Not to mention Hermione's wandering thoughts and girlish feelings, but Maka actually encountered a big problem.

According to his original speculation, his meeting with Snape this time should not change the facts he saw last time. This was a conclusion drawn from the so-called "Conclusion Rule".

He thought this rule was correct, because he had proved it with his own actions. If there was no closure in the time rules, what was the last time Voldemort's soul left his body early? He was forced to

What is the situation of taking action?

But now, Snape and Hermione have indeed separated, and what he saw will never happen again. Maybe Snape will come back later? Then Maka told Hermione to be honest

Hand it over to Snape in person?

Such a ridiculous thing is impossible no matter how you think about it.

So, what does this mean?

"paradox!"

Maka chewed this strange yet familiar word secretly, but a chill could not help but rise behind her back.

He came to Hermione's home this time precisely because he heard some truth during his last trip back in time. But if this continues, the last self will not be able to learn this clue.

And without getting any clues, would he still come to Hermione's house?

No one can tell him what the consequences will be if a paradox is caused during the time travel. He only knows that there have been several wizards in history who have completely disappeared due to the misuse of time and space converters.

Knowing that there would be great risks, he could no longer look at this matter from the perspective of a researcher. Because he understood that this was completely gambling, and there was a high chance that he would fail completely.

Obviously, in the face of the rules of time, his power is still very small. If he persists in this situation, it is not self-confidence but a mental retardation.

"The Sorting Hat can see clearly! I am indeed a Hufflepuff through and through..." Maka sighed, then turned to look at the girl next to her, "Hermione, I need you to do me a favor.

.”

"Ah - oh - of course," Hermione suddenly came back to her senses, responded subconsciously, and then asked blankly, "What, what are you busy with?"

"...Become a liar with me!"

Maka was laughing as she spoke, and the expression on her face looked quite strange, like a bitter smile mixed with some other emotions, which made Hermione even more confused.

…

The time we could go back was only five hours. Not long after, it was dawn. And just when the snowstorm became more violent again, a figure suddenly appeared in the snow near Hogwarts.

The space was distorted for a moment. The next moment, a pair of familiar figures appeared out of thin air.

The pair of figures just stood there without saying a word, raising their heads slightly and staring quietly towards the Hogwarts Castle not far away.

Those were Snape and Hermione - or rather, Maka and Hermione who had turned into Snape.

Speaking of which, Maka has deceived quite a few people in his life, but this time the one he wants to deceive is himself.

As a little liar who once used his deceptive skills to make a living, Maka knew very well - sometimes, he was the hardest person to deceive, because deceiving himself was the stupidest behavior; but sometimes, he

But it is also the easiest person to deceive, because the person who knows you best is often you.

Not to mention, today's unheard-of scam actually has a script in hand that is sure to succeed.

"Can't you see it?" Maka looked up and looked ahead, secretly saying in her heart, "That's right, at this point in time, the long river of souls is almost at its end."

Although I can't see the meandering river of souls, here I can see myself standing on the snowy slope in front of me, the self who has not experienced time retrieval.

Not too long has passed since he witnessed all this, and Maka knew exactly what to do next. When the self left with the portkey, it was time for him and Hermione to take action.

At this moment, he was waiting quietly, and so was Hermione beside him.

Maka told Hermione the entire process beforehand. In order to ensure that there would be no mistakes, he also specially corrected the lines according to the script. With Hermione's intelligence, the possibility of messing up was very small.

Besides, the starring role this time is still himself. Most of the time, Hermione only needs to recite the lines.

Soon, as the door key was activated, that self suddenly disappeared into the twisted space. It was at this moment that Maka took the lead and walked slowly forward.

Hermione, who was beside him, saw him and quickly followed him.

In the past, in this world where Maka existed, Buckbeak was saved by Maka, and Sirius and Harry were not besieged by dementors. However, Hermione applied for a time turner to assist in learning.

It still happened.

For Hermione, it was not difficult to understand what Maka had revealed to her before.

Of course, in order not to affect Hermione's mood, Maka did not tell her about the disaster that was about to happen at Hogwarts.

Now when Hermione saw the "past Maka", she still had some doubts in her heart - why did the Maka at that time look weird?

For a moment while the two people with their own thoughts walked forward without saying a word, they left two clear sets of footprints behind them. And these two sets of footprints were gradually covered up in the wanton wind and snow.

left traces.

At this moment, a sudden crackling sound resounded throughout the mountainous area, and at the same time, it also brought a signal for Maka's next action.

When Maka led Hermione over the snowy slope in front of her, she saw Harry and Ron without any surprise.

"stop!"

Although she didn't get the specific reason from Maka, Hermione knew that the person Maka wanted her to lie to had appeared.

That's right, because she couldn't tell Hermione the whole truth, Maka changed some parts of the plan. Hermione didn't know at the moment that the person she really wanted to deceive was actually the person standing far away.

Another Maka somewhere behind you!

This is a complicated scam from beginning to end.

"Don't go any further," Maka said coldly, imitating Snape's annoying tone, "if... you still don't want to die."

He didn't hear these words at the time, but he understood that now was the time to stop Harry and Ron. As for what words Snape would use to stop others, wasn't that simple?
