harry potter book of crimes

All living creatures have souls, no matter what they are. Even Voldemort, whose whole body has been rebuilt with the power of the Bewitched Monument, has soul fragments as the core.

Because of this, Voldemort is still Voldemort, not a puppet controlled by the Bewitched Monument.

And those silent ones, whose spirits have been tortured and whose hearts are filled with fear, have very special souls.

The reason why they have strong resistance to magic is precisely because their souls have undergone negative changes in pain and torture, causing the magic in their bodies to become manic.

Therefore, when facing the Obscurus, the mysterious and rare soul magic is the most suitable choice.

With just one blow, Maka dispersed most of the black mist that rushed toward him. Perhaps he was mentally shocked, so he retreated in a hurry.

At least half of the black mist that had been blown away faded away and disappeared, while the rest gathered up again and chased the black mist group that was escaping behind.

In just one confrontation, the unusually large black mist actually shrank by one-third of its volume.

"Miss Schoen, I...ahem...I don't want to fight with you, why can't we stop and have a good chat?" Maka didn't move, just stood in the direction of the door, blocking the other party.

The way back.

But even if he said this, the black mist that Helen had transformed into had no intention of returning to its human form. Although it was obvious that she was no match, she was unmoved at all and hung in the middle of the room to engage in a stalemate with Maka.

"Hmm...Okay," Maka stared at the other person for a while, then shook her head, "Ahem...then we won't talk anymore, I still have a lot of things to do..."

As soon as he said these words, he raised his staff again. Seeing another huge black skull phantom impacting quickly, Helen, who was already prepared, immediately ducked to the side, trying to avoid the terrible attack.

It would not be that pleasant to be hit by that thing. Just now, she even felt that the black mist that she could control like an arm was about to escape her control!

You must know that she is different from other Obscurials. She is the only one who can completely control the form of the Obscurial without the mark of the Deathly Hallows. The manic and violent feeling simply makes her feel as if she has returned to her childhood.

However, she did hide, and she dodged very quickly and in time. But who knew that the skull phantom could actually turn a corner - Maka waved her hand again, and she was hit by the extremely fast black figure.

The shadow was hit hard.

Soul magic was originally silent, but Helen seemed to hear a scream coming from her own soul. In a chaotic dizziness, she could no longer control the black mist, and it was out of her control in the blink of an eye.

But even so, the inexplicable energy did not go wild. Instead, it quietly retracted into her body and lay dormant quietly.

Those energies don't want to cause riots, their instinct is to coerce the spirit of the main body to destroy everything unscrupulously. It's just because of Maka's soul magic that Helen's soul has also become unstable, and the restless energy has no necessary support.

, there is no threat for the time being.

When the black mist surged and shrank, Helen's body reappeared in front of Maka. She fell weakly to the ground, and her face looked even paler than before. It was obvious that she was mentally disturbed.

impact.

Maka glanced in her direction, coughed twice more, and then walked towards the corner of the room. Around him, the ring of runes made of ancient magic words gently

Rotating, adding a mysterious look to him.

This splendid chamber pot is now in a mess, but even so, the bright brilliance is still so bright that it can blind people's eyes. If you rely on a pair of eyes to search, it will definitely be difficult to find what you want.

But why did Maka need to rely on his eyesight to find it? As early as just now, he had already sensed the obscure magic wave, which was particularly eye-catching in this room full of chamber pots.

Soon, he waved his staff and moved away a stack of chamber pots stacked in the corner, revealing a floor-to-ceiling ancient mirror hidden behind it.

The arch-like bronze frame is slightly tilted, with a slightly misty mirror inlaid on it. The frame is engraved with slightly rough patterns and many small magic symbols.

Obviously, this is the goal he has been pursuing so hard - the Mirror of Erised.

If Maka didn't want to take a look at this mirror, it would be a lie. Because he was actually quite curious, what would he see in this mirror?

And now, he finally saw it.

"Hahaha... cough... hum..." After just one glance, he couldn't help laughing, but the laughter was mixed with some coughing sounds and a little helplessness.

He suddenly raised his head and glanced. On the arch at the top of the magic mirror, there was a clear line of text engraved on it: "Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi".

If we turn the entire sentence upside down and break it up a bit, we can easily find that the meaning of this line of text is...

"I show not your face but your heart's desire." Maka looked up at the line of letters, reading them word by word, shaking her head secretly.

If I have to say it, the effect of the Mirror of Erised is indeed very wonderful. The desire it shows is exactly Maka's most urgent wish now, and there is nothing wrong with it.

It was in the mirror that he saw himself sleeping - sleeping soundly in his own office at Hogwarts Castle, sleeping soundly.

Isn't this the scene he desires most right now?

Just as Maka laughed at himself for this, he tilted his head slightly and frowned slightly. For no other reason than because the girl who was slumped on the ground behind him was trying her best to move towards him.

Climb here.

"You're so persistent..." Maka said, and was about to turn around, but he seemed to catch a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye, causing him to stop turning around, "Huh?"

In the corner of the mirror, the figure of the girl also appeared. No, in other words, the strange energy that was alienated from the magic power of the Obscurus appeared in the mirror...in the form of black mist.

Logically speaking, this kind of magic that reflects the mind and soul can only be viewed from one's own perspective. In other words, it is impossible to see what others see in the mirror, or the image of others.

.

Maka, who has done extensive research on soul magic, understands this very well.

But now, something else appeared in the image he saw. In this regard, it was obviously inconsistent with the most basic magic theory.

Obviously, this mirror does have other uses.

Maka thought for a moment and understood the reason why Snape called this girl the "key". It was obvious that this energy was the key to destroying the Mirror of Erised and opening the seal.

He no longer hesitated, and immediately waved his staff, knocking Helen out completely. Then he opened the pocket on his waist, took out the folding tent, and moved the entire Mirror of Erised inside.

There might be times when this thing would be needed, but even if it wasn't, for the sake of safety, he couldn't just leave it here.

After packing everything up, Maka cast a floating spell and brought the unconscious Helen with him. However, he did not leave immediately, but pointed at the golden chamber pots that fell on the ground with his staff.

.

In an instant, a large number of chamber pots rose into the air under his control, spinning together and turning into a surging black mist amidst the clanging sounds of each other.

In the black mist, even those red light particles like sparks were clearly discernible, flowing rapidly between them, and they were indistinguishable from the form of the Silent One transformed by Helen.

What he had to do next was to wait for a moment - waiting for a signal to arrive.

…

More than ten minutes later, in the River Edge area of ​​New Jersey, USA, in the secret manor where the Obscurial was located.

"...Grindelwald wants to deceive you with falsehoods! He asked this dark wizard to send a girl to Hogwarts. He wanted to let-"

Under the effect of the replay spell, Zoe, who had revealed her body, was about to tell Maka the truth she had learned from the memory of the old wizard Lenny. But before she could finish her words, Greene was far away elsewhere.

But Ward had already taken control of old Lennie, and used a burst of magic power to instantly blow away Zoe's figure.

"This is not possible... How can a small replay spell reveal the truth? Sure enough, old Lennie is just an ordinary wizard..."

"Greenwald..."

"Hello, we meet again..." Grindelwald, who was controlling the dark wizard Lenny, said calmly, "Although I really want to have a good chat with you. But I'm sorry...this time I

There are still some things here, which are not suitable for conversation now..."

Just after he finished speaking, even Maka didn't have time to react, there was a sudden surge under old Lenny's skin, and then it decisively exploded into blood and debris that filled the room.

It was at this moment that the other Maca, who was on the Hogwarts Castle side, paused slightly. He knew that the mark that had been set on the old man in advance had been destroyed...

In other words, the time to take action has arrived!

He quickly cast a disguise spell on both himself and Helen, then waved his staff, and the black mist originally transformed by the transformation spell immediately followed his footsteps and rushed out of the Room of Requirement, with an extremely violent attitude.

He rushed straight towards the school hospital.

"Ahem... It's time to call myself back at this point in time..." He said secretly in his heart as he ran forward.
