harry potter book of crimes

Time always flies when people feel leisure everywhere. In the blink of an eye, the snow on the ground has melted away, and the cold air gradually becomes warm and moist.

In February, winter hands over the dominance of this world to spring, everything revives, the grass grows and orioles fly.

Throughout the entire month of January, except for the initial period, Maka felt that she really didn’t have much excitement and distinctiveness in her life.

He has already communicated with our minister about the proposal of the alchemy competition, and most of the troublesome things are on the other side; as for Lucius's matter, even he did not expect that the solution would be better than expected.

Even better, he just casually wrote a letter and sent it to the Ministry of Magic, using a lame excuse called "undercover", and Lucius was released safely.

But think about it, now he and Mr. Scrimgeour are in the honeymoon period, and their relationship is so good that they are wearing the same pants. In addition, he himself is the wizard who defeated the Dark Lord, so who does he say is an undercover?

He must be an undercover agent - even if he is not, he can make it so.

After that, Malfoy and his son made a special trip to him to say thank you, and then Lucius hurriedly went to find Narcissa...well, Lucius's missing wife.

When those messy things were smoothed out one by one, Maka suddenly found that everything seemed to become smoother. There were so few things to worry about, so that the slow pace of life made him adapt to it for a while.

But come.

Therefore, in the second half of January, except for the occasional visit to the fisherman Fisher's house, he basically spent the rest of the time at Hogwarts Castle. He lectured and studied magic day after day, and from time to time

I took a walk on the lakeside that was gradually unfrozen, and my days were pleasant and relaxing.

If Leng Buding hadn't coughed a few times, he would have almost completely forgotten the chaotic time he experienced at the end of last year.

Yes, excessive time travel left him with some inconspicuous but unforgettable traces after all, and he still hasn't been able to figure out what kind of harm it was.

Of course, compared to Maka's relaxation and leisure, the lives of Hermione, Ron and the other fifth graders were not so easy.

The workload every night forced them to stay up late every day, and for players like Harry who had to participate in Quidditch training, time became even tighter.

The Quidditch Cup competition of this school year is already halfway through. Last year, various emergencies made the team members uneasy, so that the entire fifth-grade Quidditch competition seemed somewhat a bit...

Powerless. So far, the Gryffindor team's results have been good, but it is quite risky to win the final championship.

It is during such a busy time, and I can't tell whether it is luck or misfortune, because the Valentine's Day that most young men and young girls are secretly looking forward to is coming soon.

In the UK, the age of 16 is a wonderful dividing line in life. Perhaps many people who have passed this age no longer care too much, but when everyone is about to face this hurdle, their youthful feelings will

Move stupidly.

Because this age is the rough mark that distinguishes whether you can find a life partner.

Let’s not talk about whether to get married or not, it’s still too early for an older child! But once you have the right to do something, when you see the person you like, the feeling of pounding in your heart is simply unstoppable.

.Even the fifth grade students who are busy preparing for their O.W.Ls exams will inevitably make a fuss when that day comes.

Harry was worried. He was hesitating whether he should keep an eye on other girls. Otherwise, at this time when the boys around him were rushing for the first love in their lives, no matter how slow he was,

, I can’t help but feel that my life is vaguely lacking some flavor.

Ron was obviously worried too, because that Lavender Brown suddenly confessed his love to him in the Gryffindor common room! Although he was overwhelmed by the pride that filled his chest at the time, he didn't pay attention.

He agreed, but when he returned to the dormitory, he covered his head and fell into painful struggle.

Hermione...well, she was also worried. In fact, she was born earlier than Harry and the others, and she turned 16 in September last year.

Although she had already blocked Maka's mouth with a sneak attack confession earlier, in the days that followed, watching Luna's relationship with her gradually getting better and better, she was no longer sure about her determination.

How much is left?

That girl was indeed a little weird, but after more contact, she also deeply felt the purity of her heart. Competing with such a pure-hearted girl for a Maca, she felt more and more

She felt guilty. And this feeling directly caused her to be unable to take a step forward again, keeping the distance between herself and Maka at a certain level that was neither too far nor too close.

On February 14th, which is coming soon, should I shamelessly make an appointment with Maka?

Miss Hermione Granger has always been a very independent girl. But this time, her reason and kindness have caused her to fall into a strange circle. God knows she has been trapped in that closed circle.

How many times?

As for Luna and Maka, the former didn't seem to have much idea about Valentine's Day, while the latter, he had noticed, but something happened recently that forced him to put aside the days when boys and girls could add feelings to each other for the time being.

aside.

It's not that there was any accident. From his point of view, the day was going on as smoothly as ever, and everything seemed to be progressing within reason. However, Madame Maxime sent another letter from Beauxbatons.

, followed by the meeting decision of the International Federation of Wizards.

A world-class alchemy competition has already had the opportunity to start. Madame Maxime formally invited him to come over and have a face-to-face meeting to initially explore the plan of Nick Flamel's alchemy laboratory.

Not to mention that Hermione was still wondering whether to ask him to spend Valentine's Day, even if he wanted to spend this holiday with Luna, he probably wouldn't have the free time.

At noon on the day he received this letter, he gently closed a magic book and placed it on the top of the pile of books next to him.

Recently he has been reading some alchemy documents, but as he expected, much of the knowledge in this subject is incomplete and it is difficult for people to summarize a more systematic theoretical system. From the information he has reviewed

It can be found that in fact, this subject must have been extremely grand in its most complete period. Just from what he could see, it could be divided into many seemingly completely different academic branches.

He once tried to use the material rules he studied to apply analysis, and found that in alchemy, "matter and spirit" have corresponding research directions, which can be separated from the category of magic and form a specific knowledge system alone.

Judging from Nick Flamel's supreme alchemical masterpiece, the Philosopher's Stone, his research direction should be a branch of alchemy based on material systems and assisted by spirit and rules. In his laboratory, you may encounter

Many unique alchemical products are also unknown.

But in general, he still doesn't have a clear understanding of things like alchemical formations. There is a big difference between those alchemical symbols and the ancient magic texts he studied, and the inconsistency between the two makes him

The alchemical research brought great disturbance.

Perhaps, only in Nick Flamel's laboratory can he find a more reliable interpretation method?

Maka stood up and twisted her neck, then walked around the books and materials that almost formed a wall, opened the office door and walked to the corridor outside.

In the past few days, he had become interested in the Florob caterpillars that Hagrid had raised, because after Hagrid mentioned it that day, he found that something was really wrong with those little guys. What was more bizarre was that they had actually stopped in recent days.

The behavior of eating lettuce leaves with big mouthfuls, and inexplicably started to wander around again.

Logically speaking, their active period is usually at the end of spring, when they will be busy reproducing offspring and leaving as many offspring as possible for themselves. But now, they should be feasting

when!

Walking all the way to Hagrid's hunting cabin, he bypassed the house and went straight to the backyard. There, Hagrid had already spread out a large piece of rattan blanket for the "big fat boy", each of which was nearly ten inches long.

They can live comfortably.

Apart from anything else, at least the thickener used by Maca and Snape will not have to worry about for more than ten or twenty years.

"Hagrid, how are they doing today?" Maka stood outside the fence, looking at the sea of ​​insects inside, and casually asked a nonsense question, which she took as a greeting.

"Still not eating much, and there are no signs of mating. They just keep crawling around!"

Hagrid's tall figure was particularly eye-catching in this small yard. Seeing him keep catching the caterpillars that were about to crawl out of the backyard back to the rattan rug, Maka had to use magic to help him.

.

But to be honest, Hagrid enjoys these tasks. When it comes to his love for magical creatures, he is definitely not inferior to anyone.

"I've told you before, you should get a cover for them..." Maka drove the Flobber caterpillars back to the center, and then persuaded again, "Otherwise, you will just worry about moving them all day long.

Coming and moving!”

"No, I don't think this situation can last long. They must have new changes."

Hagrid seemed very excited when he said this. What he liked most was cultivating new species, especially species like the Flobber caterpillar whose genetic characteristics are extremely stable. Alienation is rare but not inevitable.

He really wanted to see what these little things would become in the end!
