harry potter book of crimes

When Voldemort... that is, when Tom Riddle first rose up, there were quite a few wizards who had suffered a series of persecutions. It was by chance that Maka met the descendant of one of the victims under such circumstances.

But it's not something that should be surprising.

Anyway, the British wizarding world is only that big, isn't it?

After that, Maka and the other party talked about some past events about his family. Even though the "chat" process was definitely not very pleasant, he at least understood it.

Of course, it doesn't matter whether those past events that are not much different from other victim families are mentioned or not. For Maka, his purpose of appearing in front of the other party this time has finally been achieved.

If nothing else goes wrong, the black-haired boy named "Enns" will officially receive the admission notice in the next school year, enter Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and return with the surname "Tavon"

Magical world.

"...However, I really don't have any impression of the surname 'Tavon'," Maka, who returned to the Fisher family next door, said to Charlotte, "That's for sure if they are not a pure-blood family, otherwise their family was originally

He won't attract Death Eaters...but he probably doesn't have much fame among half-blood wizards."

At this time, the two of them were sitting at the kitchen table of Fisher's house, talking casually about the past events about the Tavon family. As for Sarah and Delphi, they were still in the living room!

"I haven't heard of it either," Charlotte nodded and said with emotion, "There were indeed many ordinary wizarding families involved in that disaster. Except for the Ministry of Magic, which may have records, who else is there now?

Will you remember them?"

As Charlotte said, no matter how big things have happened, they will eventually be gradually forgotten by people as time goes by, and only a very small part of them will settle down due to certain opportunities.

There were more than ten or eight victims like the Tavon family back then? But in the end, the ones who can be remembered are the people like Harry Potter who turned the tide at the last moment.

"Well... let's not talk about it for now," Maka leaned back on the sofa and recalled, "Senior sister, do you still remember what I said when I invited you out for a walk?"

"Is it about my family...?" Charlotte's face turned pale, "Just tell me!"

"Don't be so serious," Maka waved her hand and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you, senior, and maybe it doesn't have much to do with me or Hogwarts either... I was just thinking,

It has been a long time since I last visited your manor, and I wonder if you still remember one thing."

"What's the matter?" Charlotte looked slightly confused.

"Of course it's about how I got you out at that time!" Maka smiled at her, "Remember? At that time, I could almost say that at the expense of the news about the Sorcerer's Stone,

You replaced it."

"Ah!" Charlotte suddenly said, "Now Voldemort has been defeated by you, so... the family will definitely think that the Sorcerer's Stone has already been in your hands..."

"Yes!" Maka chuckled, "But now your family probably thinks that I want to monopolize it... As long as my identity as the 'descendant of the Diher family' is not revealed for a day, they will do nothing.

It makes you think that the Philosopher’s Stone no longer exists!”

"Then you...are you in trouble?" Charlotte couldn't help but said worriedly.

But Maka just spread her hands towards her.

"Judging from the news I have received so far, they are still worried about me for the time being." He said, "Whether it was the name 'Dihel' I left in front of them or my own strength, they will all

Let them not dare to act rashly. Therefore, if there is any trouble, I am afraid it will fall on you first... Do you understand what I am saying?"

"You mean..." Charlotte pursed her lips slightly, feeling that her throat was a little dry, "The family will find a way to contact me and force me to do something detrimental to you?"

"Well, even if it's not, it's definitely similar in nature." Maka said with a solemn expression, "Besides, perhaps the most difficult person to be caught in the middle will be your father."

"dad……"

After Maka's reminder, Charlotte was certainly not an idiot, and she soon understood the key. When she thought that her father would most likely find her under pressure from her family, forcing herself to deal with Ma in turn.

Ka, this really scared her just thinking about it.

If she disobeys, will her father be in danger? When she thinks about the way her family has always behaved, she can't help but feel frightened.

Even though her family hasn't contacted her yet, and even though Maka immediately analyzed these possibilities for her, she still doesn't know what she should do, and what she will do in the end...

"Is it difficult?" While Charlotte looked troubled, Maka suddenly laughed again, "Hey, actually, it doesn't have to be too difficult. It doesn't matter what your family wants you to do. Just follow their requirements.

Just do it.”

"No, how can this be done-" Charlotte's voice became higher-pitched, but her expression became more and more struggling.

"Why not?" Maka looked at her and said, "You still can't trust me? Well, maybe saying this will make it easier for you to accept - the reason why I tell you to do whatever you want is just because I don't want to

Your family noticed prematurely that I knew of their plans, do you understand?"

"Really?" Charlotte asked hesitantly.

Maka did not continue to answer her question, because he knew that Charlotte was just still struggling. If he explained it too deliberately and repeatedly, it would make the senior sister think more on her own.

"Senior sister, talk to me about the magic book "Abatail"!" He thought for a while and said, "This time, we may have to directly face the book that has been passed down from generation to generation by your Werther family.

The ancient magic book."

"Will it really come to that point?" Charlotte's expression became obviously more nervous when she mentioned the magic book, "That book is... no, if it is because of Nico Flamel's magic

If Shi, then it is really possible..."

She said, nodded slightly, looked at Maka and said: "To be honest, I don't know much about that magic book. Do you remember? After you took me away from the black market that day, I once

The secret room mentioned..."

After that, Charlotte told some of the information she knew in detail. Maka listened carefully and kept it in her heart.

…

For Maka, although the matter of the Werther family is relatively important, it is not a very urgent matter. He asked Charlotte for some information, which can only be said to be a precautionary measure at best.

Compared to this, some things may seem insignificant, but once an emergency occurs, they can easily become a top priority.

For example, when Maka and Charlotte returned to Hogwarts in the evening, they saw an amazing scene.

"What is that stuff? What happened?"

Maka looked at the Whomping Willow in the distance. Looking from here, it turned out to be a misty white patch. The big tree that had already sprouted tender green leaf buds in spring and gradually became vibrant,

Now it has almost turned into an extraordinarily huge ball of marshmallows!

Charlotte also looked over there in surprise, doubts evident.

"Let's go over and have a look..."

Maka saw Hagrid's tall figure wandering over there - right next to the trunk of the Whomping Willow, and beside him, there seemed to be a person standing, who looked like Professor Sprout.

As Maka and Charlotte walked forward quickly, until they got closer, they gradually understood what changes had happened to the Whomping Willow.

At this time, on the dense branches hanging down, pure white objects like dragon eggs were closely arranged. They were next to each other and firmly clinging to each branch. They had seen it before

What we saw was the spectacular sight of the Whomping Willow being completely covered by these big balls.

As for the Whomping Willow, whose body has been occupied by so many balls, except for trembling slightly, it has completely lost its temper. If it had been in the past, it would have started thrashing with branches all over its body. What happened today?

Already?

"Hagrid, Professor Sprout..." Maka tilted her head and looked at the miserable whomping willow, and asked in confusion, "What on earth are these? Why do they look so like..."

Even a guy like Maka, who has read a lot of ancient and modern books, has never seen such a scene before him. Although he has some doubts and guesses, it is faster to ask first than to speculate on his own.

Some.

However, not far in front of Maka, Hagrid was staring blankly at the tree full of balls. He seemed to be so surprised that he didn't even notice Maka's arrival!

Professor Sprout, on the other hand, turned around immediately after hearing the sound.

"Maka, you're here..." She nodded to Maka as a greeting, then looked at the Whomping Willow again with distress, "Actually, I don't know too much, but Rubeus

It is said that these are cocoons made by Flobber caterpillars...but where do Flobber caterpillars build cocoons?"

"Flobber caterpillar? Cocoon?"

After listening to Sprout's explanation, Maka scratched her scalp inexplicably.

Hagrid had noticed before that the group of Florob caterpillars he raised had behaved strangely several times. He also speculated whether they had mutated! But even if they had mutated, it would not be possible for them to suddenly form cocoons?

This is not a mutation, it's like a completely different species, and even Maka can't understand it.
