harry potter book of crimes

coming!

Even if the distance is very far, it is still very easy to see if someone is present at a certain location when the mountains and fields are covered with snow.

Not long after, when the figure in the distance crossed another hillside and was about to step into the range that the ancient mirror could originally affect, Maka, who was in the invisible state, suddenly pulled the staff back.

He dragged the soul rule rune in front of him, and then threw it directly in the direction of Hogwarts Castle. And he himself also flew backwards in that direction.

Immediately, the power surrounding the ancient mirror spread out in the blink of an eye, and protected the people in Hogwarts Castle again before the shock occurred.

In fact, this was the only point that was difficult to control with time, because he could not accurately estimate the time when he would step into that range. If there was even the slightest mistake, the person who pretended to be Snape would immediately

Detected something was wrong.

Therefore, he must come out first and use his own eyes to judge where that point in time is.

And using the soul rules on a large scale requires more magic power, and then it has to be maintained until the person lying in the snow pretending to be a corpse leaves. In order to avoid deviations in the timing of use, you have to be careful about both the closing and releasing.

Just come here.

When Maka saw a phantom that looked like Snape suddenly appeared in the distance and flew towards him with open arms, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, he watched from a distance as the figure fell heavily to the ground, and the last few seconds finally entered the countdown stage.

This scene is actually quite strange, because during this short period of time, the three Macas happened to stand in a straight line. The farthest one stood on a high snow slope, and the middle one became Sneij

Pu fell in the snow, and the one beside the castle quietly maintained his invisible state.

Although these three are all Maca themselves, they each represent each stage of this incident.

From the one who first discovered Snape's clue, to the one who found out that Snape was indeed involved, and then to the one who later learned the truth from Snape.

This Severus Snape seems not to be a major character from beginning to end, but the clues to the development of the entire incident are indispensable with him. Without his participation, Maka might not be here until now.

Still trapped in the cycle of time, never getting to the point.

Thinking of this, Maka couldn't help but turn her head and glance around the ancient magic mirror. Both Grindelwald and Voldemort fell into the snow, without any breath.

These two dark lords who were once all-powerful in their respective eras had no sense of existence at this last moment. One of them willingly threw himself into the ancient mirror, while the other was sent to another place by Maka.

Maybe they will all come back, but maybe they won't... In any case, it will take a long time before we can see them again.

Soon after, when the figure in the snow in the distance stood up and left, Maka immediately rushed to where the mysterious ancient magic mirror was. And the next moment, he waved his hand and used a simple floating spell.

He took the mirror and ran directly outside the school gate.

Following a distortion in the space, Maka disappeared together with the ancient mirror that represented disaster.

…

For every wizard who has lived in the magical world for a long time, taking Muggle transportation is a very worrying thing. Pure-blood fanatics will be irritable and restless because of this, and other wizards will mostly have strong curiosity.

At this moment, Ron, Harry and Hermione were sitting in the carriage, and there was a large group of people gathered on the other seats next to them.

Naturally, the Weasley twins would not be absent at such a time. In addition, many members of R.A. also came. But this time, the leaders were several members of the Order of the Phoenix.

At the moment, except for Harry and Hermione, who both looked helpless, everyone else looked very excited. Even Lupine, who was usually relatively steady, stretched his neck and looked left and right, seemingly looking around.

Compare the attire of other Muggles with his own to see if he is wearing the right clothes.

"...Really, I mean it!" In the corner of the carriage, Neville was blushing and repeatedly emphasized, "I met that guy Malfoy on the Knight Bus, and he also went to the funeral.

!”

"No, that's impossible, isn't it?" Fred raised his eyebrows and said, "Then the boy can go to the funeral? You might as well say that the Flobber caterpillar can turn into a butterfly!"

"The Flobber caterpillar can only turn into Malfoy, not a butterfly." George added with a smile.

"This has nothing to do with Flobber Caterpillar!" Neville said angrily, "I really met him!"

"Then he hasn't taken action with you yet?" Fred obviously didn't believe it at all.

"Neville, you must have fallen asleep." George shrugged and joked, "Or you will meet him in the future, and you just had a prophetic dream?"

"Oh - do you think you have prophet blood?" Fred nodded, "Amazing! Amazing!"

Teasing Neville has always been a regular activity in Gryffindor House, especially Fred and George, who like to make fun of him. It's just that others know what is enough, but in the minds of these two guys

But the string has never grown.

Neville was obviously very angry with the two of them, but he had never been good at words, and he could hardly open his mouth when the twins talked to each other.

Fortunately, it didn't take long before we finally arrived at the station.

In the center of London, everyone followed the Muggles and got off the train. Neville pursed his lips and immediately shrank to Harry and the others, leaving these friends separated between him and the twins.

among brothers.

They all followed Lupine, who was leading the way, and boarded the escalator outside the subway station together, arriving outside the station.

All of these people were dressed in Muggle attire, but except for Harry and Hermione, Tonks was probably the one who looked relatively normal.

She was wearing a black lapel jacket with a pair of ripped jeans underneath, and her bright purple hair made her look even more fashionable.

However, other wizards and wizards look very strange. Some wear coats under their shirts, some wear old-fashioned suits with basketball shoes, and some even wear nightgowns as outerwear. For Muggles

Regarding dressing habits, wizards' understanding obviously still has considerable deficiencies.

At this time, Neville suddenly left Harry's side and hurriedly took a few steps towards Lupin. He seemed to be using the excuse of asking a few words to avoid the crowd that was squeezing towards him.

The Weasley brothers came over.

Today is still the Christmas holiday. Although it is only a few days away from the end of the holiday, the Christmas atmosphere on the street is still quite strong. Everyone is walking on the still cold street, looking at the large number of Muggle customers in the shops on both sides, each saying: Looking for the differences between wizards and Muggles.

Probably because he felt that Ron liked to join in the fun a little too much, Lupine, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and reached out to give him a hand to prevent him from being taken into the store by the group of shoppers who were rushing towards an electrical appliance store. Son.

"arrive."

Sure enough, not long after, Lu Ping pointed to a department store.

This is a department store that looks quite historical. There are even some cracks on the old red brick walls. Because a Muggle expulsion spell has been cast on it, compared with the two stores next to it, this place looks a bit different. Quite deserted.

And right on the lintel of this department store, there is a store sign "Taotao Co., Ltd." that doesn't look like the name of the store at all.

You can see from the outside that most of the mannequins in the window are missing arms and legs. The wigs on their heads are tilted to one side, and each of them is performing inexplicable poses. On them, they have been wearing at least ten years of clothing. Old-fashioned clothing from before, and the matching is obviously problematic.

On the door of this department store, a "Closed for Renovation" sign hung on the door handle, which was already covered with thick dust.

Behind them, there were Muggles passing by the roadside, but most people seemed to have not noticed it at all, and walked forward in a hurry.

Only occasionally, one or two people would glance this way, and then look away indifferently.

"Here," Tonks and Lupine both waved to the first time visitors and motioned them to stand in front of the display window, "Are you ready?"

Everyone nodded, indicating that they were probably standing still.

Tonks shrugged, then turned around, leaned in front of the window and looked inside. There was a rather ugly looking mannequin placed there.

"Hello?" Tonks said, "We're here to visit Maka McClane."

The weather has indeed been quite cold recently. As she spoke, the moisture from her breath made the window glass foggy.

Immediately afterwards, as if it heard her words, the dummy in the window nodded slightly. Then it raised its stiff arm and waved inward.

"Okay, let's go!" Tonks turned around and said, then took Ginny's arm and slipped through the glass, disappearing from everyone's eyes as if she melted into it.

Several friends who had never been here looked at each other a few times, and then they followed them and headed towards the window glass. In just a blink of an eye, they found themselves in an extremely crowded room. Inside the waiting room.

Here, there are rows of wooden chairs and a large number of wizards and wizards of all kinds. Most of these wizards look abnormal. They are either missing something or have something extra. They are almost the same as the dummies in the window before. Same thing.

"Does Maka live in a place like this?" Harry couldn't help but wonder, "Is there something extra about him?"
