harry potter book of crimes

"Luna?"

When Harry and Ron looked at each other in surprise, they heard something moving outside the doorway. When they both turned their heads to look, they found that it was Luna.

To be honest, even Harry and Ron are very puzzled by the recent relationship between Hermione and Luna. After all, it is really surprising that these two seemingly opposite girls can coexist so harmoniously.

Many people are confused.

And just now, Luna and Hermione apparently got together again.

"Harry, Ron -" Luna stood outside and gave them a leisurely smile, "Good evening... have you heard? The Flobber caterpillars raised by Professor Hagrid all crawl

The Whomping Willow has formed a cocoon... This sounds really interesting, how about we go take a look later?"

I don't know when it started - probably because they had more contact, they basically called each other by their first names. This was obviously not a big deal to Harry and Ron, but to Luna

, but this seems to be another proof that I have made friends, which is of great significance.

"Oh, uh... let's talk about this later!"

During class, Hermione asked Harry and Ron to wait for her in the common room after school, and said she wanted to talk to them about something very important. So, Luna, who has become surprisingly close to Hermione recently,

Does it count as one of them?

Before hearing the news from Hermione, Harry temporarily decided to ask the other party directly. It would not be too late to wait until Hermione came back from the dormitory to decide based on the situation.

With Hermione's rationality, since she had already said it was a "big deal", what she wanted to tell herself and Ron this time would definitely not be small.

"Luna, stop standing outside, come in first!"

"No, that's not necessary."

It was Ron who invited Luna into the common room, but it was not Luna who refused his proposal, but Hermione who quickly returned from the dormitory.

"Let's go to the Room of Requirement!" she said, "I have to discuss something with you..."

"Can't you just say it here?" Ron said with a bitter face, "Look, there is no one else here, and more importantly, I am really hungry!"

"No, of course not here!" Hermione said without a doubt, "This matter is very important and must not be heard by other students... I thought about it several times, and finally decided to tell it to just a few of you first.

, we can only leave what others say to us later.”

"Is it important?" Harry said, nodded, "Okay! Let's go now -"

Although neither Harry nor Ron knew what Hermione wanted to say, it would not affect the trust they had developed with Hermione over the years. Without knowing anything about it, they and Lu

Na followed Hermione in the direction of the Room of Requirement.

R.A.'s training has always been conducted there, and the people present were very familiar with it. Soon, they came to the blank wall where the door to the Room of Requirement was, but Hermione was able to do it just in time.

Suddenly, Harry stopped Harry who was about to call out the training room out of habit.

"Harry, wait a minute..." she said suddenly, "What we are going to enter this time is not a training ground, but another special room."

After Hermione stopped Harry, she walked back and forth three times by this wall while thinking about the room she wanted to enter. When the familiar door opening method was completed, a door was the same as the usual one.

The identical door to the training room then stood out.

"As soon as you enter, you will see many werewolf stone statues... No, actually I don't know if those are statues, but they won't move, that's for sure. That's it, so don't be scared..."

Hermione put her hand on the doorknob, turned around and warned Harry and others in advance, and then opened the door to the Room of Requirement with a click.

As the door opened, a dim light immediately came out of the room. Although it was not very bright, it was more than enough for lighting.

When they followed Hermione who walked in first, they entered the room. Sure enough, a whole mess of stone statues suddenly came into everyone's eyes. The stone statues were so lifelike that if Hermione hadn't reminded them first, they might have died.

Everyone would think that all those statues are real living creatures.

Under the illumination of the dim flame that continued to burn above the room, the shadows of the statues swayed and twisted slightly, making them look even more ferocious.

"...It's really a werewolf," Ron said, still a little frightened. "You can even see the hairs on his body clearly, as if they were still moving just a moment ago. This is really... really..."

"It's like time has stopped," Harry nodded. "I understand why you said you're not sure whether they are stone statues - no matter how you look at them, they are exactly the same as real werewolves, they are petrified.

?"

Harry and Ron paused and glanced at Hermione subconsciously.

In the second school year, Hermione was petrified by the basilisk that escaped from the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets. Hermione's appearance at that time was no different from these werewolf statues. It was like a hard stone.

The texture and the completely solidified expressions all tell that they were once living werewolves.

Well, maybe now only Luna will approach them in the first place and observe them up close with full curiosity.

"What...is this place? Why are there so many werewolf stone statues?" Harry asked in surprise, "Is this a laboratory where some bad dark wizard studies dark magic?"

"It's not a dark wizard," Hermione shook her head and whispered, "This was the room used by Maka. When he was still in school, he seemed to have conducted various studies and research here. But since...

...Since he has experienced so many things, it seems that he has not been here again for a long time."

"Maca?" Harry and Ron were stunned.

Just by looking at the messy desk at the back of the room, you can actually guess that Maka has probably stayed here and conducted a lot of magic research.

What's more, there are many potion cabinets lined up around this room, many of which have potion name labels that they have seen in Maka.

But no matter how you look at it, it always makes people feel that this place may have gone through a lot of research on black magic, and if you take into account the rather dark environment, some people may believe it to be the Dark Lord's laboratory.

"Yes, it's Maka," Hermione nodded, and locked the door to the Room of Requirement, "But as for what he has studied here... I have actually been here a lot.

I have read through the manuscripts he left on the desk several times, but in addition to the potions studies, I can understand to some extent the ancient magic texts that Maka taught in class during this period.

Some……"

"Uh...Hermione," Ron suddenly interrupted, "Did Maka allow you to come in?"

"I didn't ask him directly," Hermione said hesitantly, "but he originally told me about this place, saying that he had used it before and thought it was a very suitable place for us to train."

Although none of the people present thought that Maka would be angry because they came here without authorization - to be honest, they had never seen Maka angry! But... is this really good?

"I know that I should at least tell him," Hermione pursed her lips and said, "But after I found a magic book here, I started to hesitate..."

"what book?"

Harry and Ron asked almost at the same time, and even Luna, who was only observing the werewolf stone statues, turned around.

"It's on the bookshelf over here."

Hermione waved to them and led them gently around the werewolf statues to the deepest corner of the room.

Over there, there are several heavy-looking solid wood bookshelves, two of which are almost filled with all kinds of magic books. As for the rest of the bookshelves, they seem to have been filled before.

Later, most of them seemed to be taken away, leaving only a few books crookedly in their original places.

Hermione casually took out her wand and waved towards the top of the full bookshelf on her left. A black-covered magic book with purple patterns immediately jumped down from the top and fell into her hands.

She shook the wand again, and the tip of the wand immediately lit up a ball of soft magical light, illuminating the surrounding area.

"Silent spell?" Harry's eyes suddenly lit up, "When did you master it?"

"Just a few weeks ago...Don't interrupt," Hermione replied subconsciously, but immediately glared at him, "I found something worthy of our attention in this book, just...

"

As she spoke, she flipped through the pages of the book. It could be seen that although this book looked a little evil, there was no power of black magic hidden in it. It was just an ordinary theoretical book.

"Well...it starts from this page. You can take a look," Hermione said, tapping her wand lightly, and the magic book floated towards Harry and the others. "Although I don't know

Is this true? But if it is true, then Maka may already know the secret of Voldemort's resurrection..."

On the other side, Harry, Ron, and Luna all gathered together, staring at the page in front of them and silently reading word by word. Soon, Harry, who was the first to read the main points, gasped.

"...Horcrux?" He widened his eyes and said in astonishment, "If it is really this magic, it would be terrible..."
