harry potter book of crimes

In the Hogwarts hospital, Madam Pomfrey is the real master. Even Maca and Dumbledore are very polite to her. Because everyone knows that although Madam Pomfrey is harsh and harsh towards others, she is sincere.

Really consider the patient.

When it comes to her love for this school and all the students, she will never lose to anyone.

Otherwise, given her level of treatment, she could get a very high salary and courtesy wherever she went, so why would she have to deal with a group of naughty little thugs at Hogwarts with a mediocre salary?

After honestly apologizing to Madam Pomfrey, Maca immediately left the ward. As for Sarah, who no longer had to stay in the school hospital to pretend to be sick and recuperate, of course he took her with him.

After a while, there was a request in the room.

"...Sarah, you need to help me confirm this conjecture. If my conjecture is wrong, then you may experience 'part' of the emotion; and if my conjecture is confirmed,

...That probably means that your problem will be more difficult to solve than I thought."

In this empty new room, Maka squatted on the floor and sketched the rune array stroke by stroke, while talking to Sarah who was standing aside.

If Snape were here now, he would definitely find out that this formation is actually exactly the same as the one Maka drew in Malfoy Manor.

"If you don't mind, I think it's better for me to tell the truth first." As she said that, Maka suddenly stopped what she was doing and turned around and smiled at Sarah, "Actually, I am still

I hope my guess is correct, after all, it is more beneficial to me..."

Maka's so-called "truth" seemed to be full of selfishness no matter how it sounded, but Sarah didn't seem to care too much.

"Whether it succeeds or fails, your actions have elements of helping me. As for whether your conjecture can be successfully confirmed on me, that is not something you can decide, is it?"

"Ah, that is indeed the case..."

Maka nodded, and then continued to lower his head to draw his formation. Sarah, on the other hand, while staring at Maka's back, once again recalled what Maka had just mentioned.

That "guess".

…

Just about ten minutes ago, when Maka and she first arrived here, the two of them continued the unfinished conversation in the ward.

At that time, Maka mentioned to Sarah the conclusions he had observed on Draco.

"Sarah, I think that what we often call 'love' and 'sin' actually come from the same source," Maka said at that time, "and that only source may be '**'."

"Moreover, both of them should be out-of-control desires for some reason, an extreme manifestation of will... In other words, they are the same thing, there is nothing different."

"As for why people treat them differently, I think it's just because people take the initiative to impose standards of good and evil on them based on their own needs."

When saying this, Maka thought for a moment, and then immediately waved her hand.

"Of course, I'm not saying that it's wrong to do that," he explained. "It is precisely because people need to restrain their behavior that they will go out of their way to distinguish good from evil as clearly as possible. Because people may have already clearly realized that

'**' affects everyone all the time, and is a deep-rooted existence——"

"Or in other words, it's simply with us."

When Maka said this, she was actually reminding Sarah that the so-called "**" was very likely to be part of the soul, or even the soul itself.

And if you think about it casually, you can understand that human emotions are just an external manifestation of desire?

"So, I have something here. Its characteristics may be able to examine your soul in a targeted manner." After pointing out the point just now, Maka dug into the pocket on her waist again, "This thing seems to be

It can magnify the specific 'sin' in the human soul... As long as there is sex in your soul, no matter how small the sex is, it will be able to accurately capture it."

At this point, Maka shook her head again.

"Of course, regarding your soul... I actually have a worse guess here." He said, "You once said that you were a 'defective product'? I think you meant this name to yourself.

It may not be correct..."

"Yeah?"

Sarah didn't feel anything about it because she had been prepared for it.

At that time, she stared at the gem in Maka's palm for a while. She was good at spiritual alchemy and could feel that it seemed to contain a very special energy, but because of Maka's rune array, she could feel it.

Confining it makes this feeling quite blurry.

At that moment, Maka thought about it again, and then suddenly said: "By the way, if my guess is correct, then we may be able to try another method. Of course, it will definitely be better than this one."

The method is even more dangerous——"

"Can."

At that moment, Sarah's answer was concise and straightforward.

…

However, compared to Sarah's desire for emotion, Maka had other ideas.

He originally promised to find ways to help Sarah and make her a "complete life", which naturally had his own selfish motives. Otherwise, Sarah's assistance in saving people alone would not have made him agree to a right thing.

A nuisance that does no good to oneself.

In fact, just as he observed Draco, that energy has the property of inducing sexual desire. And judging from Draco's previous performance, it is all related to the Monument of Bewitchment.

This is why Maka pinned Draco's matter on Voldemort's head.

On this basis, when he thought of the next test entrusted to him by the Bronze Eagle, he couldn't help but have some other considerations.

"If it's really what I think, I might have a clue on how to deal with the Ravenclaw test..."

In the center of the room, Maka was drawing a formation diagram and thinking about it secretly.

Because this formation diagram had just been drawn before noon, he was drawing very quickly now. Without letting Sarah wait for too long, he added the last stroke to the formation diagram, and then he immediately stood up.

"Come and stand in the middle," he beckoned, "I will inject part of the energy into your body in a while. If you feel something is wrong, tell me immediately. Of course, if I notice anything abnormal, I will immediately

All the energy is pulled out of your body."

Sarah heard this, nodded silently, walked to the center of the formation and stood up.

Maka took out his staff outside the formation, and when Sarah signaled that he was ready, he immediately waved the staff and drew the energy stored in the gem into the formation.

Suddenly, an invisible shadow continued to extend forward in Maka's perception like a thread, and silently connected with Sarah's forehead.

This was Maka's first attempt, so he extracted very little energy. As soon as he activated the rune arrays, he could immediately peel them off in the blink of an eye.

However, there is always danger. This experiment cannot be replaced by other things. Only an emotionless "person" like Sarah can be an effective experimental subject.

And the moment that trace of energy touched Sarah, Maka immediately sensed a familiar wave of magic power. He knew that that energy was starting to work.

Unfortunately, I don't know if I should say that just as Maka expected, the activation of energy did not bring any changes to Sarah. Her expression was still calm, and her eyes were still as clear as a mortal.

There are only two possibilities at the moment: one is that there is too little energy to produce such a fast reaction; and the second is that Maka's conjecture has been confirmed.

Of course, since there are two possibilities, Maca has no intention of interrupting the experiment.

He continued to pump out more energy, injecting it into Sarah's body bit by bit, while his eyes were focused on Sarah's expression.

In Maka's induction, the magic power fluctuations in Sarah's body had undergone considerable changes. At such a close distance, he could clearly feel that Sarah's magic power was becoming more and more obscure.

That is proof that its own magic power is attached to the energy of the Bewitched Monument. Although the energy injected into it is very small, so the change is still very slow, but it is real.

"Sarah, do you feel anything different from usual?"

While observing continuously, Maka asked.

"A different feeling?" Sarah, who was standing in the formation, blinked and seemed to feel it more carefully before replying, "I can sense the energy... Although I didn't see anything, I

I can feel it constantly accumulating in my body...and making me stronger."

"Can you use it?" Maka continued to ask, "I mean, that energy..."

"I...well, I actually can't say clearly," Sarah thought for a moment before saying, "I just can feel that I am getting stronger, or that I have a kind of power that I didn't have before...maybe that

It's the energy you mentioned..."

After hearing this, Maka nodded.

“What about the emotional aspect?”

"no feeling."

Sarah answered this last question very neatly, but this undoubtedly meant that Maka's conjecture was confirmed.

"Oh fine……"

Although judging from Sarah's performance, the energy of the Bewitching Monument is completely harmless to her, but Maka cannot take the risk of leaving it in her body just because of this.

After Sarah answered, Maka immediately put the staff against the formation diagram at her feet and activated it.

"It's a pity, Sarah..." Maka said softly while running the rune array to strip away energy, "Although it can be seen through my soul magic, your soul has no signs of damage... However, the results of the experiment

Proof, it seems to be disabled..."

"No, wait! Speaking of which, why did you..."
