harry potter book of crimes

Regarding the fact that "it is forbidden to step into the formation", Maka clearly reminded him. Whether it was Lucius who was here from the beginning or Narcissa who just returned home, he made it very clear.

Because of this, when Narcissa couldn't stand her son's pleading and subconsciously wanted to move forward, Snape's reaction was not unpleasant.

Although almost no one noticed it at that moment, it was obvious that Snape wanted to cast a spell to stop Narcissa's behavior. And with his spell casting speed, he could easily stop the opponent with just a wave of his wand. unwise move.

But at that moment, Maka, who had been warning others not to step into the formation from beginning to end, grabbed Snape's sleeve without leaving a trace.

When Snape held the wand and turned his head to look at Maka in confusion, the latter still only glanced at Draco, and there was even a hint of surprise on his face.

In fact, from various previous signs, we can know that Draco's shrewdness cannot be underestimated. If he still has the energy to take a look at Maka at this moment, he may immediately realize that he is afraid of I have been fooled by Maka again!

As Narcissa suddenly walked into the formation, she arrived in front of Draco in three steps and two steps at a time. She immediately hugged her poor child.

"Oh...Draco, don't be afraid...Mummy is here!"

As you can imagine, Narcissa's feeling when she hugged her son... was probably not much different from hugging a big rock.

Yes, most of the petrification effect on Draco's body has not yet been removed! That hard, cold touch is probably not very comfortable.

But Narcissa knew very well that she was holding her precious son, and that was enough.

"My child... don't worry, there is a mother here! As long as the mother is here, she will definitely find a way to make you better... During this time, the mother has gone to many great therapists, and several have already made appointments. They will definitely It will allow you to say goodbye to those terrible nightmares forever..."

Narcissa hugged Draco carefully and murmured something. From what she muttered, it could be seen that her abnormal understanding of Draco seemed to still be stuck in the period of nightmares in the past.

And the moment Narcissa hugged Draco, Draco's violent breathing seemed to become much softer. Something changed inside his body...

"He calmed down...Did Narcissa play a role?" Snape shook his sleeves, indicating that Maka could let him go.

"Yes," Maka then released her left hand from holding Snape's sleeve, "This is a principle taught to me by Professor Dumbledore... He once said to me: The most powerful force in the world is , called 'love'."

"Mother……"

As if cooperating with Maka's words, Draco faintly uttered a soft call. This sentence "Mother" is different from the previous sentences, as if it contains a particularly delicate warmth. .

Almost as a matter of course, Draco's softer side was awakening.

"Humph, that's really Dumbledore's style..." Snape whispered noncommittally.

"It does sound a bit goosebumps..." Maka shrugged while staring at the mother and son, "But this is just a way of calling... If we want, we can actually Use some other word to call it..."

"...For example?"

Although it was always difficult for Snape to agree with Dumbledore's statement, Snape also deeply admired the great wizard's wisdom.

But Maka is another new generation of outstanding wizards that Snape can't help but admire. And compared to Dumbledore, Maka's views on everything in the world always coincide with his.

.

Therefore, Snape really wanted to hear Maka's understanding of Dumbledore's words.

"Well, actually I have just understood that, for example, it can be called..."

As Maka spoke, she raised the staff in her right hand. Almost at the same time, Draco's throat, which was in his mother's arms, suddenly began to make a soft "kick-kick-kick" sound.

"crime!"

The moment Draco suddenly changed, Maka slammed the staff onto the floor. Immediately afterwards, his magic power was quickly transferred along the staff to the rune array on the ground, and

It spread all of a sudden.

As the magic power surged, the streaks and magic words in the formation emitted a faint blue light in the blink of an eye. Not long after, Draco and Narcissa, who were still in the center of the formation, were already struck by what seemed to be

The illusory and real light curtain was instantly submerged.

As for what he said before about "it's forbidden to step into the formation", it was obviously a lie.

"Narcissa—Draco—" "Professor."

When Lucius stood outside, he quickly wanted to do something. Seeing this, Maka immediately winked at Snape beside him, who then simply cast a spell to freeze Lucius.

In situ.

"'Love and sin' may sound opposite, but in fact they are one."

Maka looked through the blue light in the rune pattern and looked at Draco, who was hugged more tightly by his mother. It could be seen that a dark shadow gradually emerged behind Draco, and it continued to appear.

Being dragged away from the body by some force.

"Draco is attached to an energy that can expand the 'sin' in a person's heart. I think it was instilled in him by Voldemort..."

"However, even if the excessive 'sin' has completely suppressed 'love', 'love' still exists. Unless that energy completely infects Draco's spirit, there must be hope."

After hearing this, Snape said thoughtfully: "If you want to invade Draco's spirit, you must mobilize energy; and once you mobilize energy, it is equivalent to giving you the opportunity to pull it out?"

"That's right."

Maka nodded, still focusing on the operating formation, always paying attention to the situation inside.

"Madam, don't worry, as long as you continue to hold Draco, you will have a bouncing and good son soon!"

Narcissa's hug can be said to be very crucial. She can inspire the suppressed side of Draco's heart and guide his son's spirit step by step towards a normal state.

And this recovery process will arouse the dormant energy in Draco's body, and spontaneously try to continue to expand the other side of 'evil'.

But this is exactly what Maka wants.

Narcissa, who was in the rune formation, was very frightened by the large number of blue magic runes surrounding herself and her son. But when she saw her son's gradually unfurling eyebrows, she immediately became confused.

I feel like nothing matters anymore.

To be honest, in the midst of the crystal blue light mist, a mother hugged her child tightly. This scene would usually make people feel a lot of emotions. But Snape, who was standing aside at this time, did not understand this at all.

None of them are interested.

He was just thinking about all the arrangements Maka had made to achieve this scene.

Maka first talked to Lucius, which made the other party fully mentally prepared, but failed to reveal the purest feelings, allowing Draco to have the verbal advantage;

Immediately afterwards, he took advantage of Draco's slightly proud moment to lead him by the nose with a strategy that might fail. It would be best if it worked, but even if it really failed, it would serve as a distraction.

function.

Until the end, the moment Narcissa appeared was probably the final moment.

The biggest uncertainty in this process is undoubtedly the time for Narcissa to return home. But even this is also within Maka's control...

"about there."

Snape, who was briefly reviewing the entire process today, was interrupted by Maka's words. After shaking his head slightly, he looked in Draco's direction like Maka.

Maka could "see" the shadow energy behind it through the induction of magic, but Snape could not see it. Therefore, what he focused on was the change in Draco's expression.

Since Draco was still held tightly by his mother Narcissa at this moment, looking over from here, he could only see a side face.

But just such an intuitive glance was enough for him to find that Draco's face no longer had the weirdness before, but had become extremely calm.

Maka held the staff in her right hand without moving, and dug around her waist with her left hand, taking out a small dark gemstone.

But he saw that he was holding the gem in one hand and waving the staff directly with the other hand, absorbing the strange energy into the gem in one fell swoop.

When the rune array lost the continuous supply of magic power and the faint blue light gradually dimmed, Maka, who was holding the gem, could see that there seemed to be a slight flow of water inside the gem.

quite pretty.

Of course, if you add the fine lines carved on the surface of the gemstone, it can hardly be called "beautiful". If you have to say it, there is only one word to describe it, and that is "weird".

"Professor, you can remove the binding spell from Mr. Malfoy."

After stuffing the gem back into the pocket on her waist, Maka walked towards Narcissa and Draco, mother and son, as she spoke.

While Snape was casting the counter-curse, he also had to remove the remaining petrification effect on Draco. As for "let the frightened mother and son enjoy more warm moments", it was better to wait until everything that needed to be done was done.

Say it.

More than half an hour later, in the small living room on the second floor.

"Narcissa, you...didn't you say you would come back after having lunch at MacMillan's house? Why, did their family finish their lunch so early today?"

Lucius felt quite strange that his wife came home early.

After all, the timing of her return was so accurate, it was as if... it was as if she knew the situation at home in advance, wasn't it?
