harry potter book of crimes

There is a saying - "Never underestimate the power of the masses."

When a person becomes famous, many things that this person has experienced will usually be passed down from one person to another, and eventually some secrets that should only be known to a few people will be exposed.

Nowadays, Maka is obviously a well-known figure in the magic world.

That may be because of his achievements, or maybe it's because of his age... In short, some eye-catching factors have made many people know him.

And those people also learned about his growth process to this day through various channels, intentionally or unintentionally.

It can be said that in the eyes of many people, Maka's experience up to this point is like a contemporary legend.

He grew up with the shadow of Voldemort's return, and repeatedly defeated the former Dark Lord; he betrayed each other with Dumbledore, and finally replaced the greatest wizard in modern times to protect Hogwarts; he and Geller

Through a battle of wits and courage, Ted Greenwald finally left the two generations of Dark Lords in front of Dumbledore's body forever.

And when all of this was done, many people had almost forgotten that the wizard named Maka McLean was not even an adult yet.

By now, more and more people have begun to discuss whether he has completely surpassed his teacher Dumbledore and become the most shining star in the history of modern magic.

Yes, many people actually believe that he has always been a student brought out by Dumbledore.

After all, in the eyes of most people, his strength has long surpassed that of the professors at Hogwarts - besides Dumbledore, which wizard is qualified to be his teacher?

Therefore, even in Romanian dragon farms where information is somewhat closed, some people are aware of various rumors about Maca.

The director of that research institute is one of them.

"...Maybe you don't know it yet! But let me tell you - the young gentleman just now has become very popular in the global magic world in recent years, and his research on magic has surpassed that of his teacher Deng

Mr. Bullydo. Now that his name is spoken, which respectable person will not nod in praise?"

"I heard from the director that he came to our dragon farm this time to borrow a dragon, but guess what? The application form he sent was actually stamped with both the British Minister of Magic and the International Federation of Wizards.

The time difference between seal and signature is only half an hour!"

In the magical world, the work efficiency of various departments will always vary from person to person. Sometimes, just by looking at the distance between signatures of two different departments, you can roughly know the status of the person handling the document.

For documents like Maca's research application, the signing departments are in different countries. Even if the research institute of their dragon farm issues an additional application, it usually takes at least half a month to approve it.

"So, if I see Mr. MacLean again later... well, if not being respectful or anything like that, I should at least be more polite!"

"And the most important thing is, stop talking about what happened just now. If you have any questions, just keep it to yourself! At least they did us a big favor..."

This room chief is obviously better at understanding people and the world.

Moreover, he knew that these guys in the research institute were basically full of knowledge and could not pretend to be anything else. If he didn't give them a few more words of advice, he might offend someone if he turned around.

And this is also the reason why he can become the head of the room.

After he finished speaking, the awakened witches and wizards finally nodded one after another, and then they began to ask the room chief for details about Maca...

However, how effective can this kind-hearted chief's instructions be? Often, rumors spread like wildfire under the condition of "You must keep this matter a secret from me," right?

…

"There's still a little while, I think we can go see Noble."

After returning to Hagrid and others, Maka just briefly explained the situation just now, and followed him to talk about the next trip as if nothing had happened.

In fact, most of the people had nothing to do today, except Luna who had a class to attend in the afternoon. Due to the previous angry horned dragon incident, they had already wasted some time.

"Charlie, do you remember? When we were in first grade, we asked you to transport a young Norwegian Ridgeback. If there are no problems, I think I can choose to take it back to Hogwarts to live for a while this time."

As she said this, Maka gestured to Hagrid behind her.

"And I think you also know that Hagrid has always missed Norbert!"

"Oh yes!"

Hearing this, Hagrid suddenly pulled out a handkerchief the size of a tablecloth and wiped his tears.

"I really want to see how big little Norbert has grown... The Norwegian Ridgeback always grows very fast. I'm really afraid that he doesn't recognize me anymore..."

But after Charlie heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then patted his forehead.

"Yes, I remembered..." he said, "But, well...it's not easy to tell the gender of a young dragon. Later we found out that she was actually a little female dragon."

"Eh?" Hagrid was stunned, "Little Norbert is a female dragon?"

"Yes!" Charlie nodded and said, "She is not called Norbert now. We helped her change her name slightly. Now she is called 'Norberta'."

"Norbeta...Norbeta..."

Hagrid muttered the name back and forth as if he was a little disappointed. When Charlie thought he was sad that his name had been changed, he saw Hagrid suddenly clapped his hands.

"Oh! That's such a good name!"

Isn't it just a feminization of the name you chose? How could it be better?

Of course, although Maka was thinking so in his heart, he couldn't say it out loud. Since Hagrid likes it, it would be great, but...

"What's so good about this name? It's not the same as the original one...well."

Ginny pressed Harry's mouth.

"Okay, let's take us to see it anyway!" Hermione said immediately, "I can't wait any longer!"

So, under the leadership of Natalia and Charlie, everyone continued to walk into the mountains. Probably because they had rested here for a while, everyone basically recovered some physical strength, and the pace under their feet became normal again.

Gotta feel lighter.

Not long after, when they found themselves walking downhill, Charlie said that the place was almost there.

"There is a small lake down there. The source of the lake water is groundwater. Most Norwegian Ridgebacks like it there. Therefore, I have to be more careful soon..."

The meaning of his words is very clear, that is to say, you are likely to encounter multiple fire dragons there. Of course, fire dragons such as ridgebacks and hornets do not like to live in groups, so it is rare to encounter two fire dragons at the same time.

Seen.

Soon, as they walked along the gentle descent for a short period of time, a moist breath came through the gaps in the trees.

"oh!"

Luna took the first step to push aside the bushes, and immediately, a pool of gem-like blue water came into her eyes, causing her to let out a low cry.

Maka sighed behind her - this was too careless. If she hadn't known that there was no fire dragon in front of her, she would have reached out and grabbed her.

"etc!"

Seeing Luna throwing away her legs and trying to run forward, Maka had no choice but to chase after her and follow her out of the woods.

It can be seen from some traces on the ground that during certain periods when the lake water rose, the height of the lake could reach the edge of the surrounding forest. But now, the range has been much smaller.

While staring at Luna, Maka also looked around briefly and found that there was indeed no trace of the fire dragon here.

"It seems that Norberta is not here -" he turned around and asked Charlie, "do you know where her lair is?"

After that, he shouted to the front again: "Luna! Stop running around, you have classes to attend later! Come here quickly, let's go find Norberta!"

Maka suddenly felt like a father taking his children out for an outing.

"Oh, here it comes."

Fortunately, although the children are naive and naughty, they are generally quite obedient.

"Here, Norberta lives on the other side of this small lake..." Natalia said at this time.

…

When Maca and the others were looking for fire dragons in the mountains of Romania, Professor McGonagall at Hogwarts encountered some problems.

In the principal's office, only Mag and Charlotte were present at the moment. One of them was sitting behind the desk, frowning slightly; the other was standing by the filing cabinet not far away, rummaging up and down for something.

"Um……"

Professor McGonagall seemed to be thinking, but after a while, she picked up the two letters on the table and read them from cover to cover.

This was the third time she had read this letter, but some of the things mentioned in the letter made it difficult for her to make a more appropriate decision.

In fact, this was a private reply from the International Federation of Wizards, and it was a reply to the intelligence letter about Halbo that Mag had previously sent.

From the beginning, Professor McGonagall and Maka came to the conclusion that they would not participate for the time being. Unfortunately, the president of the Federation, Mr. Akinbad, seemed to want Hogwarts to contribute some amount.

Help me.

This couldn't help but make Mag feel that he shouldn't have sent that information in the first place?

At that time, she and Maka had good intentions, and President Akinbad also had a close relationship with Hogwarts, but now... well, at least they still use personal letters instead of directly in the name of the Federation.

Come claim Hogwarts.

This means...

"Could it be that the changes in the Israeli magic world have made Mr. Akinbad unable to sit still?"

This is actually true, but the key to this matter may still be Haierbo. What Ajinbad is worried about is not the turmoil in the magic world in the country, but Haierbo, a famous black man who has lived from ancient times to the present.

wizard!

"No, when did I become like this..." Mag suddenly muttered to himself. (To be continued)
