harry potter book of crimes

Maka was not sure about the subsequent decisions of Asaph and Miriam. He only knew that from the first step they took into the British magical world, the final outcome had already been determined.

Yes, all of this was probably planned by Ewan Ravenclaw from beginning to end.

The next morning, Maka, who had not slept all night, flipped through the large pile of manuscripts on the table. The entire deduction above was written by himself, but in the end, looking at it made him surprisingly bored.

He casually pulled the parchment aside and pushed the pieces of parchment aside. Several pieces of cut manuscript paper gently slid off the table and landed on the pile of information on the side of the table.

You can see that there are some familiar things drawn on those pictures - it is a picture of the planetary orbits of the solar system. And there is a wonderful arc running through the entire solar system, closest to the earth.

It even makes one break into a cold sweat just looking at it.

Maka's astronomy is not very good, and he has always found wizards' modern astronomical calculations unreliable, so he got this picture from the Muggle world.

As for the subsequent deduction...

"Is it possible that old man Yoon wants to complete this almost impossible plan just because of Rowena's words a thousand years ago? He even hesitated to use his men's lives to delay Haierbo's actions?"

In fact, even Maka herself was part of this delaying strategy.

While he was complaining casually, he couldn't help but think of one thing:

Did Rowena leave something behind for Old Eun that could help him accomplish this almost impossible "reaching for the stars" plan?

"Anyway," Maka glanced at the star map, leaned back in the chair and said slowly, "The most suitable time to start is at the end of this year...that is, during the Christmas holiday?"

If the comet, which the Muggles call "Hale-Bopp", passes that point, it will be very difficult to operate it even with magic.

With such a long distance and many interfering factors, at least Maka is not confident that he can handle it, even if he uses the regular rune pattern that he is best at.

Rather than such a random plan, he would rather go to the Muggle world and borrow some "treasures" - maybe something without magical effect can completely destroy the broken mirror?

But while secretly laughing at this, Maka could not find a reason to stop Old Yoon. He had once studied the Bewitching Monument in depth, and he knew very well how weird these ghosts left over from ancient times were.

And it was precisely because of his ambivalent psychology that the series of things that happened last night where he seemed to be trying to help, but then ignored him happened.

Just when Maka was sitting on the chair, rubbing her sore temples, there was suddenly a splashing sound outside the window behind her.

With a wave of his backhand, he opened the curtains along with the window and let the owl in.

After the little guy landed on his desk, he cleverly placed the envelope in front of Maka, then flapped his wings slightly and flew to the side.

Maka threw some food to it from the drawer, and then opened the thin letter and took a few glances at it.

This was sent directly from the Ministry of Magic, and it still had the signature of Minister Scrimgeour at the end. As for its content, Maka was a little confused as to what to make of it.

"...The Auror office is understaffed? What's the use of talking to me about this kind of thing?"

Last night, we were evacuating people from the black market, expelling dementors from London, and coordinating with the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters and the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures.

This includes clearing the memories of some Muggles, finding ways to capture dementors, sorting out and arranging the extra black market population, and other messy matters.

Not to mention the Auror Office, I'm afraid the entire Ministry of Magic will be in chaos.

"I can help you think of a solution, but you mainly have to rely on yourself. If this incident can be handled well, this will actually be an achievement no less than that of the Alchemy Competition."

Maka hurriedly wrote a few strokes on the back of the letter, then stuffed it back into the envelope, and handed it to the owl waiting aside. Watching it fly out of the window with the letter in its mouth, he was so surprised.

Then he pulled out another piece of parchment and began to consider the content of another letter.

In fact, this was a good time. Taking this opportunity to send Lupine, Sirius and others to the Ministry of Magic would be of great benefit to Hogwarts and himself.

If the relationship with Scrimgeour is not so close in the future, then there won't be such a good opportunity.

"Speaking of which...does this count as forcibly inserting connections?"

When this kind of nonsense happened around her, Maka couldn't help but start to agree with this sad social tradition.

He paused for a moment, then shrugged, and a drop of ink fell silently on the parchment, permeating along the lines of the paper.

…

Life is like this. There is beauty in dreams, but there is also the filth in reality.

Of course, at least on campus, there is always more purity.

Recently, the weather has become colder and colder, and the wind has become stronger and stronger. Everyone is adding more clothes to avoid accidentally having to go to Madam Pomfrey to get medicine to treat colds.

As soon as you drink that thing, your head will turn into a boiling kettle, and steam will keep coming out of your ears. That feeling is not pleasant!

"Oh, it looks like it will snow in a few days."

Ron got up very early today. He was wearing pajamas and leaning against the dormitory window, looking around a few times. The treetops of the Forbidden Forest in the distance were swaying with the strong wind, and people could see through the window.

Can vaguely listen.

"Harry, remember to let Ginny rest more. It will be too strenuous to practice in this weather."

Harry, who was still sitting on the bed, heard this and yawned while touching the bedside table to look for his eyes.

"She practices harder than me...and you know, as long as she believes in something, others will say it is useless."

"That doesn't include you!"

Ron walked back to his bed and started to put on his clothes. But halfway through, he realized that he hadn't taken off his pajamas yet! So he had to take off the sweater he had just put on...

Harry, who was sitting on the bed opposite, finally found his glasses, put them on the bridge of his nose, and waved his hand.

"It won't work for me to say this kind of thing, and it will make her feel unfree... It's not like you don't know that her opponent in the next round is Slytherin, and Ginny is working hard to win a good match.

Woolen cloth!"

The next round of the Quidditch House Cup is coming soon. While everyone is worried about some chaos, the obligation of a student is still to study and do activities on campus.

If Harry, the Seeker, and Ginny, the Keeper, hadn't worked hard, it would have been easier for Gryffindor to simply abstain from this Academy Cup.

After both of them got dressed and walked out of the dormitory, a cold wind suddenly hit the stairs outside, causing them both to shrink their necks.

"Let's go!"

Ron waved and took the lead and started trotting.

It was warm in the common room. As soon as they entered the place with the fireplace, the two of them felt less cold. When they came to the door of the common room and turned around, they saw the two of them sitting on a small sofa waiting for them.

Hermione.

"See Ginny?"

Harry asked immediately, and Hermione, who was flipping through a notebook, pointed out the window without raising her head.

"Went to the court for practice, and she said she wanted to fly alone for a while before breakfast."

"Oh..." Harry lamented helplessly and said immediately, "I'm going to see her and ask her to come back and go to the auditorium together. You don't have to wait for me, go ahead!"

Ron shrugged at him and tilted his head to glance at the book Hermione was reading.

As expected, it was something he couldn't understand no matter how hard he looked at it.

"Hermione, let's go then!"

But at this moment, a muted discussion suddenly came from behind him.

"...Did you see it last night? There was a very bright star in the sky. I had never seen it before in astronomy class."

"Hey, I saw it a few days ago! Has it become brighter and brighter recently?"

"You don't take astronomy classes properly. What do you know? Professor Sinitas said it was a disaster star. Don't stare blindly!"

"What kind of disaster star? It's a meteor! My mother told me about it when I was a child..."

The so-called "disaster" is something that is quite taboo in the magic world. Comets and meteors have represented great harbingers of disaster since ancient times, which is much more serious than seeing a black dog in a tea cup.

If it weren't for the fact that there are many Muggle-born wizards in the modern magic world, which has led to the modern wizards' concepts being much more advanced, when that "disaster star" appears, the global magic world will be in a state of excitement.

"Hermione, you are good at astronomy, do you know what that star is about?" Ron listened and suddenly asked in a low voice, "Do you think... could it be related to the previous incident?

?”

"Um?"

Hearing him ask this, Hermione raised her head and glanced at the classmates who were still discussing.

"That's just a bigger stone."

She had studied in a Muggle school when she was a child, and she had been very studious since she was a child, so a lot of knowledge had been engraved in her mind early on.

Among them, some popular science books from childhood are included.

Although she would not reject the knowledge of astronomy in the magical world from the bottom of her heart like Maka did, they were still similar in some basic concepts.

"Let's go! Go to the auditorium..."

After saying that, Hermione closed the books in her hands and put them back into her schoolbag, then picked up her schoolbag and walked to the door. However, in her head, she was still thinking about some of the magical theoretical information she had just seen.

But at this moment, Luna, who was standing in front of a certain window in Ravenclaw Tower, had some completely opposite views to hers.

"Oh...is something bad going to happen?" (To be continued)
