harry potter book of crimes

A breakfast did not consume too much time for the little wizards. Most of the students in the third grade and above were looking forward to their trip to Hogsmeade, including the sixth and seventh grade students who had been there many, many times.

After all, as Hogwarts students, they have too few places to relax and have fun.

However, there are always a few students whose dining process is still so leisurely. For example, Harry and the three of them, and Miss Lovegood, who is still immersed in the enjoyment of delicious food.

"...Well, you also enjoyed your meal today, didn't you?"

At the staff table, Maca glanced at the Ravenclaw table a few times. When he saw the happiness on Luna's face, a knowing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Okay, let's finish what needs to be done while it's still early!"

After hastily sweeping all the food on the plate into his stomach, Maka immediately left his seat and walked quickly towards the Hufflepuff table.

"Mr. Tavon, would you like to come to my office after breakfast?"

Yes, since she learned those things from Ewan Ravenclaw last time, Maka planned to ask Enns again.

Although according to Old Eun's opinion, Herbo's resurrection itself means that there must be something wrong with Salazar's back-up plan, Maka thinks it is still necessary to find out.

As for why he chose today...

Obviously, students below the third grade are not eligible to go to Hogsmeade Village, so for them, today is just an ordinary school day off.

After Enns, who was having breakfast like other students, heard this, he suddenly turned around and looked at Maka, and nodded with some confusion.

"Okay, Professor MacLean."

Although Enns didn't know what Maka wanted to do with him, this did not prevent him from simply accepting the interview.

For him, Maka is his savior, so even for a child like him who has difficulty trusting others, Maka is much closer to him in his heart than his asshole father in the family.

After seeing Enns's promise, Maca said nothing more and left the auditorium directly to go back to the office.

"Maka rarely talks to students, right?" Looking at the figure disappearing from the side door, Ron asked curiously, "Could it be that the homework you turned in was too wrong?"

"No, I don't think that has anything to do with homework," Harry said slowly, looking at Enns not far away, "That's just a first-year Hufflepuff student, and first-year students don't have elective courses.

.”

"Oh, that's right..." Ron thought for a moment and nodded as if he was suddenly aware.

While the two were talking, Hermione, who was sitting across the long table, suddenly felt that there seemed to be someone behind her. And the next second, a familiar voice immediately confirmed her feeling.

"Hermione, shall we go to Hoggedmore together later?"

This voice sounded particularly clear to Hermione's ears. Just by hearing it, she knew it was Luna speaking. And the moment she recognized it, something flashed through her mind that made her feel...

A truly frightening thought.

[The person standing between me and Maka is her!]

Could it be that she has been holding it in for too long, causing morbid changes in her psychology? No, Hermione doesn't think her reason will lose to her sensibility... But, the thought just now was obviously her own!

"Hermione?"

At the Gryffindor table, Luna looked at the back of Hermione's head and called her again. But Hermione did not look back, but took a deep breath first, as if to calm herself down.

.

After Hermione paused for a moment and suppressed all the distracting thoughts in her mind, she put down the Daily Prophet and slowly turned around.

【Maca is mine! Maca is mine! Maca is mine!】

Seeing Luna's face at such a close distance, three more thoughts suddenly popped up in Hermione's heart, making her clenched her fists uncontrollably.

No, this isn't right... There must be something wrong... How could I think that?

"I'm sorry, I...I have to go with Harry and Ron..." Her voice seemed to have become lower and hoarse, and there was a faint smell of enduring something.

After Luna heard this, her ethereal eyes couldn't help but scan Hermione's face, and her expression suddenly became more thoughtful.

"Oh, actually, I can come with you..." she said after thinking, "Just like those few times before, we all went shopping together. I think it's more interesting than when I was alone."

[She is not worthy of Maka! Only I am Maka’s best choice!]

"No!"

As soon as the third thought flashed through her mind, Hermione suddenly stood up from the chair, and the chair under her body was forcefully pushed away by the crook of her legs, making a harsh friction sound.

She wasn't looking at Luna beside her, or rather... she didn't dare to look.

"sorry."

After leaving such an apology, Hermione immediately pushed Luna aside, opened her legs and left the auditorium as fast as a gust of wind.

However, the volume of their conversation just now was not loud, and the sound of the stool legs scraping the ground at the end was quite abrupt, which attracted curious looks from some of the surrounding students.

"...Hermione?"

Luna stood there blankly. After being stunned for a while, she couldn't help but tilt her head and made a puzzled expression.

"I'm going to see what's wrong with Hermione."

After Ron said this, he hurriedly got up and left his seat, jogging in the direction Hermione left. Only Harry was left sitting in his seat, with his head slightly lowered, and put the last piece of grilled sausage on the table.

Entered the mouth.

"Then... I'm leaving first?" Luna thought for a moment, looked at Harry and said.

To be honest, no one can figure out what is going on with this inexplicable situation.

Especially the Gryffindor students sitting on both sides, looking at Luna, then at Harry, and finally at the door of the side corridor, each face seemed to have a big question mark written on it.

"Ah, okay." Harry did not raise his head, but responded to Luna calmly.

Upon hearing this, Luna stared at Harry a few more times, and then left alone after a moment.

The moment Luna turned around, Harry finally raised his head, but the depth in his eyes was not noticed by anyone, including the professors on the faculty bench.

"Unexpectedly, Miss Granger's willpower is stronger than I expected... Hum... interesting modern wizard, interesting modern magic..."

He chewed the sausage vigorously and muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear.

…

Half an hour later, Hogsmeade.

"Miss, you have such good taste!"

"This fine quill pen is carefully made with fine horn carving tail feathers. The production technology is provided by the craftsman consultant of the head office. Whether it is the selection of feathers for the pen barrel or the hardening of the pen tip, we

The quality of 'Wenren Ju brand quill pen' is guaranteed!"

"The most important thing is that this new quill pen uses our company's latest wear-resistant technology, and the magic spell solidified on it will prevent you from buying a new quill pen for ten years..."

I don’t know since when, the Literary Quill Shop in Hogsmeade Village actually had an extra salesperson.

As soon as Hermione lowered her head to look at the new products displayed in the cupboard, the other party's words started to move up and down extremely quickly, and he read out the sales lines that he had memorized by heart at a super fast speed, which made Hermione feel like he was in trouble.

I was stunned for a moment.

"No, sorry, I just took a look first..."

Not to mention whether the statement "does not need to be replaced within ten years" is reliable or not, just looking at the price tag under the quill, Hermione had already lost the desire to buy it.

As a child of a pair of dentist parents, Hermione's family situation is still very good, and she has never been short of money since she was a child.

However, her parents' money did not come from strong winds, and she was sensible and would not spend money randomly.

"Can you show me the one with pheasant tail feathers?"

"Oh, okay, please wait."

Seeing that his sales failed, the salesman was not discouraged. In fact, high-quality quill pens like the one just now were not originally intended for students, so he just gave them a try.

If a rich student comes and buys one, won't his sales performance go up?

As long as you see people who are interested, just sell it. If you fail, it's just a waste of saliva, but if you succeed, you will get an objective commission!

For a business like selling quill pens, he could only focus on high-quality products to increase his income.

And while Hermione was picking out new quills in the cupboard, Harry and Ron were looking around behind them. They didn't need to buy new pens themselves, and they came to Literary Habitat this time just to accompany Hermione.

"Well...what happened to Hermione in the auditorium before?" Ron looked at an expensive quill and secretly wondered, "Is it possible..."

【Maka! It’s Maka’s fault again! 】

"Tsk—" Ron suddenly curled his lips and said with some self-loathing, "It seems that my inferiority complex will never change in this life?"

He had already thought about this kind of jealous and resentful thoughts thousands of times in his heart.

However, due to Maka's persuasion back then, Ron had already developed a habit of objective self-examination. Over time, this habit became deeply engraved in his life.

"Well, that's actually right... This is Maka's fault." Ron grinned as he thought about it, "Any guy who is liked by more than one girl should be hanged on the gallows and burned to death!

"

Just when Ron was considering whether to form an organization such as the "Anti-Love Triangle Fire God Cult", an acquaintance suddenly walked in at the door of the store, attracting his attention immediately.

"Luna?" Ron immediately glanced in Hermione's direction, "It feels worse!" (To be continued)
