harry potter book of crimes

Valentine's Day is over.

Some people may feel that this day passes too fast, and some may feel that this day passes too slowly, but these are actually irrelevant thoughts. Because in the following days, time seems to pour away like running water.

, people subconsciously think that life has completely turned into a bold water pipe - and the kind that forgot to install a faucet.

As for what Valentine's Day is, it is past. Among those little wizards who are busy studying, how many can still remember it?

After that, not to mention the remaining ten days of February, even March passed by in a flash. Everyone just looked up from the pile of review tasks, but they were shocked to find that Maka was already there.

I don’t know when I came back.

The nearly two-month trip to France did not bring about much change in Maka. On the contrary, the changes in some of the students at Hogwarts were obvious.

Take Harry and Ginny, for example. During this period, they went to the Quidditch field for training together every day. Yes, through her own efforts, Ginny was finally selected as a substitute for the Gryffindor team.

Judging from her increasingly proficient technical moves, it will only be a matter of time before she becomes an official member of the team.

Another example is Ron and Lavender. Their wonderful couple finally broke up, and the latter surprisingly took aim at that boy Neville. Of course, Neville's attention was basically focused on Hannah.

, the story between the three of them is probably worth watching!

Another example is Hermione and Luna. These two girls who never seemed to get along unexpectedly became good sisters. Although they never talked for long, their relationship did not.

Because of this, they suffered a bad impact, and they were often seen walking side by side among the bookshelves in the library...

Well, during Maka's absence, there have been so many changes in Hogwarts that I can't even describe them all in a while.

And just as these changes are gradually taking place, summer seems to be coming unknowingly.

"...No, let's forget it!" Maka walked in the corridor leading to her office, casually glanced out of the window, and secretly said in her heart, "The British summer, I'm really looking forward to it.

Unfortunately……"

Yes, summer in the UK always makes many people look forward to it. Unfortunately, what everyone looks forward to is not the heat, air conditioning and delicious ice cream, but the opportunity to finally lie on the lawn and bask in the sun!

Because in the UK, summer can only be described as "warm", especially in the north where Hogwarts Castle is located.

Maka looked away from the window, shook her head and continued walking forward.

He came back yesterday. After thanking Babuling, the previous Magic Literature professor, for taking the place of teaching, he had just given his first class since coming back. Speaking of which, Babuling wanted to fill in for Maka this time.

He was short of money, but he interrupted his trip to the East to investigate ancient magic texts and came back all the way. He really had to thank him several times.

After returning to her office, Maka lit a fire and made tea and worked for a while. Then she had time to sit behind her desk, opened the curtains and enjoyed the rare sunshine in recent days.

There's no way around it, it's been raining non-stop here recently. And with the terrible weather in the UK, you have to add clothes and bedding when it rains, otherwise you'll be freezing and shaking like a sieve!

And when he squinted his eyes in the warm sunshine, the days after Valentine's Day that he spent at Chateau Blois quietly came to mind again.

If I have to say it, there weren’t that many things worth remembering in those days. Except for the occasional hoeing and planting of flowers with Willie, I spent most of the time in the laboratory.

Before Willy can solve the problem, he needs to do a lot of theoretical research, and after reaching a reliable conclusion, he needs to conduct more obscure repeated calculations and verifications.

As for whether Willy's bloodline curse was finally solved or not, this question...well, let's talk about it later! At least for now, Maka is not willing to think about that matter.

In addition to this, there is another thing that deserves his careful consideration. On the evening of the second day after Valentine's Day, Willy's father found him and conveyed a rather important piece of information to him.

The most critical figures in this matter were the three mysterious black-robed wizards who came to visit Blois Castle that day.

"McLean, do you know the Werther family in the British wizarding world? I have something here that maybe you should know about..."

What Weili's father said at that time was true, and when Maka heard it, her brows furrowed on the spot.

"You really know, right?" Blois said, "I don't know what kind of contact you have had with the Werther family, but now, you have to at least be careful - people from the Werther family will also send

On behalf of the players, participate in that alchemy competition."

"The Witte family?" Maca, who was standing at the table at the time, immediately asked, "Mr. Blois, since you said that, it means they have already sent someone to contact you, right?"

"Yes," Blois nodded slightly, "They want to invite me to cooperate with them to jointly seek to seize Nicolas Flamel's alchemy legacy... I accept this cooperation."

Needless to say, the reason why Willy's father accepted the so-called "cooperation" was probably inseparable from him, Macha. Not to mention that he mentioned it to him afterwards, and the meaning was self-evident.

In other words, if the Navett family wants to do something in that event, they can get first-hand information from Mr. Blois.

But what exactly does the Witt family want to do? For now, that is still an unsolved mystery.

"...Anyway, let's go meet with Senior Sister Charlotte later!" Maka stretched out on the chair, "And Delphi, it's time to go to Fisher's house to visit the child.

...I wonder how Voldemort is doing lately?"

…

On the other side, compared to Maka who was basking in the sun, Harry and the others' burdens seemed much heavier.

During the recent period, the professors and Hermione have been constantly reminding them that the O.W.Ls exam is approaching all the time. Every day they pass, the exam is getting closer and closer, and the pressure is constantly on the little wizards.

Increasing weight.

Just like Hannah, who was disturbed by Neville's unexpected confession, the pressure was much more obvious. In today's herbal medicine class, she suddenly burst into tears, sobbing and talking about how stupid she was.

He doesn’t deserve to take the exam, and he even said that he wants to drop out of school right now...

Very good, she became the first student this year to receive the calming potion prepared by Madam Pomfrey.

Besides the students, a certain professor also seemed to be in bad shape.

Hagrid has been paying too much attention to those giant silkworm-like Flobber caterpillars recently. Outside of teaching time, he spent the whole day wandering around them in the backyard, and ended up being "kissed" by his big brother.

Dun——Because Hagrid forgot to accompany him these days.

Believe me, Hagrid looks really bad with a bruised nose and face, because he is already bloated.

Hermione, on the other hand, has been smiling more and more these days.

"Luna, you should use more weight here, remember to follow what the book says..."

At the reading table in the library, Hermione pointed to a Potions textbook and patiently provided after-school tutoring to Luna, who was sitting next to her.

During this period of time, she discovered that Luna was actually very smart and could digest and absorb all kinds of knowledge very quickly. As long as she was willing to learn, she could take it all into her mind after studying hard.

But sometimes, her intelligence can harm her. Because she always likes to add more imagination to certain step-by-step learning content, just like Potions, if the ratio is not rigorous, you will suffer.

But it is precisely because of this that Hermione was able to find the right way to get along with Luna so quickly. Only during study, their communication will have a common benchmark, and she will not be fooled by Luna's jumping thinking.

I have to be unable to answer the call.

However, no one knows why she became friends with Luna.

"...No, that's not right! Luna, look at the book and don't change the calculation formulas randomly!" Hermione pointed at the textbook again and whispered, "This is right here, look! This should be... Oh, wait!"

As she was talking, she suddenly paused, and her eyes fell away from the books and towards the door of the library.

"Luna, it's Maka -" she suddenly said, "Well... I think we can go and talk to him. What do you think?"

Luna heard the sound and raised her head in confusion.

"Really? Oh...okay?"

Luna answered very simply, but just looking at her dazed expression, it was really hard to tell whether she heard what Hermione said clearly.

Seeing Luna's quick response to her, Hermione began to hesitate again. Although she had made her decision long ago, after all, even Luna had already talked to her, and now the two have become good friends...

...But for her, discussing with Maka still has a completely different meaning.

"Um... where is Maka?" Luna looked around and murmured, "Has he had lunch? Well... it was just after class, so he probably hasn't eaten yet, right?"

"Put the lunch issue aside for now!" Hermione pursed her lips and said, "Luna, what did you say -"

However, Luna did not let her finish her sentence this time.

"Let's go!"

The moment Hermione opened her mouth, Luna had already stood up, grabbed her arm, and pulled her towards the door.
