harry potter book of crimes

One day, it was getting dark.

The sun has already sunk into the mountains to the west, and the moon is hanging slantingly in the sky quietly. A faint silver glow spreads around Hogwarts Castle like mercury pouring down the ground.

Maka had just chatted with Joshua for a while in the school hospital, and was now flying past the main entrance of the castle, crossing the grass in the vestibule, and rushing towards the main entrance of the school.

He is going to the United States to find the dark wizard who masterminded the creation of a large number of Obscurials, and try to get some new clues from him.

However, not long after he left, a figure suddenly appeared in the ward of the school hospital. The man strode to a bed surrounded by curtains, and barged in with a casual move.

The girl lying on the hospital bed was still pale and her eyes were tightly closed. She seemed to be still fighting an unusual battle with the spider poison in her body. She was still unaware of the people around her.

The man just lowered his eyes and glanced, and then glanced out of the window on one side, looking quite cautious.

After he confirmed that it was correct, he took out a potion bottle from the inner pocket of his robe. With one hand, he slightly raised the girl's head, and with the other hand, he roughly drank the potion in the bottle.

He poured it into the half-open and half-closed mouth. He ignored some of the liquid flowing down the corner of his mouth and soaking the pillow behind the girl's head.

After he drank the entire bottle of magic potion, he immediately let go and stood aside.

"Crunch——"

A slight spring sound suddenly sounded. In this ward where you could hear a pin drop, it was as clear as midnight thunder.

The man immediately opened the curtain and walked out. He looked around the ward and found a young man lying in the corner.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but frown slightly, and then walked over there quickly.

"Uh..." "It's all forgotten."

The man's spellcasting skills were obviously extraordinary. A forgetting spell came out quickly, at an astonishing speed. Joshua, who was in bed, couldn't even react, he was already in a daze.

The other party waved his hand again, knocking Joshua out easily, and then neatly put away the wand.

But at this moment, another movement suddenly sounded under a certain bed, which made the man's heart move slightly. But before he could go over to check, the hospital bed was suddenly arched up by something unknown.

"Another Acromantula?" The man's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly closed his eyes. The wand he had already put away was pulled out again, "The Divine Edge is Shadowless!"

An invisible sharp blade shot straight out from the tip of his staff and flew through the air towards the location in his mind. It was obvious that he wanted to strike first. Unexpectedly, the big spider was not small in size, but its movements were extremely flexible, and it was very sensitive to danger.

Perception is also a talent that spiders rely on for survival.

With just one sudden leap, the spider, which was as big as two or three hospital beds, dodged away in an instant, and then pounced straight in the direction in which it jumped.

No! That Acromantula pounced on someone other than you!

It was at this moment, as if to prove where the greatest danger came from, that the bed that was originally surrounded by curtains suddenly blew away, and a huge black mist wrapped in sparks rushed straight towards it.

Here comes the Acromantula.

At this moment, the alienated Acromantula left behind by Maka activated its petrification ability to the extreme, and the black mist in mid-air turned gray-white at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But even so, the flying momentum of the two would not be slowed down by half. In the blink of an eye, the black mist collided with the Acromantula.

If the space in this ward had been larger, and if the magic blade had not forced the Acromantula to dodge, perhaps the outcome would have been different. But the fact is that the huge black mist drove the Acromantula to

The whole thing was wrapped up, and it felt like it was going to be swallowed completely.

Can the black mist transformed by the Obscurus swallow other creatures? No, they will only rob the magic power and life of the creatures, but they have no interest in it.

Not long after, a dry and dusty spider corpse fell on the floor of the ward with its belly up, no longer alive.

"Are you awake?" The figure who was standing aside quietly watching all this didn't speak until now, "Can you still change back to a human form? Your form is not suitable for walking around the school."

Before he finished speaking, the black mist hanging in the air suddenly rotated and shrank, and silently transformed into a girl. The girl's face was still pale, her lips were slightly dry, and she seemed to have not fully recovered.

The man probably knew that he wouldn't hear any answer, so he didn't pay attention at all, but glanced around again. After the fight just now, although there was no big noise, the scene was a mess.

He thought for a moment, glanced at the girl again, and then turned to Joshua who was lying in the corner. After he pointed his wand at Joshua half-extended, and whispered a few words in his mouth, he straightened up.

Get up.

"Is it okay? Let's go then!"

Hearing the man's indifferent words, the girl did not show any expression, but nodded lightly. When the man walked to the door of the ward first, the girl followed him quietly, following him

We walked out of the room together.

But not long after they left here, another figure disappeared in an instant, and no one noticed it.

…

On the other side, the girl followed the man as he walked quickly through the dark corridors of the castle. They turned left and right expertly, and soon climbed to the top of the main castle. After passing the door of the Gryffindor common room

, walked forward again, turned two corners again, and stood in front of an empty stone wall.

The two of them paused for a moment in this corridor, and then walked back and forth three times. A door immediately appeared on the originally blank wall.

"You go in and do some work. I'll patrol around here and wait until I come back to pick you up," the man said coldly, "Don't act on your own, do you understand?"

"I know." The girl heard this and said without raising her head, "Now that we have reached this point, I will not let this mission fail..."

"It's good to know."

Before he finished speaking, the man simply turned around and left, leaving the road he had been on. There were only two corridors leading here, and as long as he watched carefully, there was no chance that anyone would break into their covert move.

Especially now that Dumbledore is dead and McClane has just left.

The girl who stood there did not look back. She held the door handle with one hand and stood expressionless. After being stunned for a while, she opened the door gently with a click.

As the door opened slightly, a burst of bright golden light immediately came out, as if there were a large number of gold and silver treasures hidden inside, so bright that no one could look directly at it.

The girl also narrowed her eyes, but she did not hesitate and walked directly in. When the door closed again, the golden light gathered together, returning the darkness of the night to the corridor outside the door again.

Until the door was closed again, the entire door suddenly merged silently into the stone wall and disappeared completely.

As soon as she walked into the room, the girl did not move around randomly, but squinted her eyes for a while to adapt to the light in the room. After she could see normally, she turned her face and looked at a corner of the room.

.

It's strange to say that if you want to get to this room, you have to walk back and forth in the corridor at the door three times, and you still have to think wholeheartedly that you need to find a bathroom to relieve yourself.

If it hadn't been for the male wizard as an internal agent, even if she had found the exact location of this room, she still might not have been able to get in.

By the way, the room is now filled with all kinds of chamber pots, large and small. Most of these strangely shaped and exquisite chamber pots are different, but they all have one thing in common - they all

It's pure gold!

It is really hard to imagine which wizard hid so many chamber pots here. He obviously has a unique collecting habit.

The girl's mission goal this time was to hide in this strange room with chamber pots everywhere, accompanied by the unique splendor. At this time, her eyes only stopped at the chamber pots everywhere.

After a short while, I began to search the room carefully.

Generally speaking, the more ordinary a place is, the more suitable it is for hiding things. However, when dazzling objects occupy the entire field of vision, it is quite laborious to find something.

In particular, this girl cannot use the magic spells of wizards normally.

"Miss Schoen, there is no need to look for you."

Just as the girl was walking back and forth among the large pile of chamber pots, a voice rang out in the room without any warning and reached her ears clearly.

The girl immediately paused, then slowly turned her head and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

There, a young man stood calmly leaning on a strange long staff, and around him, hundreds of blue magic words were constantly rotating and surrounding, forming a mysterious halo.

"Ahem..." The young man coughed. Although it couldn't be seen on his face, there was a faint tiredness in his deep eyes, "Sorry, I don't have time... Ahem... I won't talk more...

…”

Before he finished speaking, the girl's whole body suddenly shook, and a large amount of black mist erupted from her body.

In just a blink of an eye, she transformed into a huge ball of black mist, rushing towards this direction with a fierce momentum. Wherever it passed, countless golden chamber pots were knocked away, and for a while, the room was filled with noise.

There was a loud clang.

But the young man didn't seem to pay much attention at all. He covered his mouth with his left hand and coughed lightly. He quickly waved the long staff with his right hand, and a huge black skeleton silhouette rose from in front of the staff at a terrifying speed.
