harry potter book of crimes

Hey! Listen...we have to go now, please change my son back!"

"I won't."

"You made him like this, how could you not?"

"I won't."

"Can't you say something else?"

"I really can't..."

Old Victor suddenly discovered that communicating with a spider that was much larger than himself was not as difficult as he imagined. But even so, he was never able to get the results he wanted.

"Can we just let those wizards come?"

The old man muttered angrily, but soon shook his head again.

"No, I've never had anything good happen to me when dealing with those wizards! I can't have any more unnecessary contact with them..."

Maybe it was true as he said, but maybe it was because of his devotion to his wife over the years that he developed a great dislike for the wizarding community.

When he thought that the woman he once loved might have died quietly in a corner he didn't know, his chest felt like it was blocked by something, making him feel breathless.

Now, he just wants to leave this so-called "magic world" that makes him feel uncomfortable as soon as possible, and return home to spend the rest of his life in silence.

To be honest, if he was alone now, he would probably have found a way to escape from this ghost place.

However, the reality is that he and his only son in this life have been turned into hard statues, and they can't even feel their breathing and heartbeat at all.

If the child named "Harry" hadn't said that he was still alive, old Victor would have thought that his poor son had already passed away to heaven!

"It's all dad's fault...Dad shouldn't have let you break into this dangerous world just based on impulse. Forget it, for the last time...when they let you recover, we will

Go home and never have anything to do with these wizards again!"

It was obviously not easy for this stubborn old man to say these words. It seemed that he wanted to completely cut off the magical bond formed by his wife from the bottom of his heart this time.

"Wait here, dad will be back soon."

After leaving such words towards his son's "statue", old Victor turned around neatly, but before he could take the first step, he looked at the spiders all over the room and his expression froze slightly.

After being stunned for a few seconds, he spoke angrily:

"Spider...can I go out for a moment?"

"certainly."

Acromantula Xiaowu's mission is actually to guard the big man who poses a danger to everyone in St. Mungo's. In fact, it won't even care if little Victor wants to leave - well, if he can leave

if.

Seeing that he had obtained the consent of this obviously "leader" of the spider, Old Victor raised his feet with a melancholy expression and tentatively lowered them forward.

He had seen Sirius leaving earlier, but even if he knew that those little things would avoid him, it was difficult to get down when there were spiders under his feet.

When Xiao Wu, who was standing silently by the side, saw this, he actually raised his long legs and gave him a "kind" push, but he was shocked instead.

"Is this really a spider..."

In the past, when my wife was still alive, she actually secretly talked about some things about the magical world. But for some reasons, she couldn't explain them very clearly.

It was during that period that Old Victor had a rough impression of the magical world.

Based on his wife's rough description, he thought the magical world was actually a very beautiful place. Although he didn't know exactly what kind of people and things there were, he could always feel the strong warmth from his wife's beautiful smile.

At that time, it was unimaginable to have a spider this big and scary looking.

But in the past few days, after experiencing a period of crisis everywhere, the existence of such a big spider seems to be nothing surprising.

Oh, the fact that I can speak human language is really scary at best.

However, it is precisely because he has personally experienced the danger and darkness of the magical world that old Victor suddenly finds it a bit difficult to accept the "friendly" side of this big spider.

Could it be said that in this magical world, only animals are truly kind?

The old man was pushed forward by Acromantula Xiao Wu for a few steps, and then he stopped in a daze. After a moment, he turned back and asked abruptly:

"Hey! Spider, do you... do you think humans are your friends?"

When Xiao Wu heard this, he clicked his mouthparts twice as if he was thinking, then paused and said:

"Human beings are the most delicious food."

"Uh...excuse me."

Old Victor turned around and walked towards the door, his desire to take his son away from this hellish place suddenly became more determined.

"...But, Maca doesn't allow eating human flesh, so...maybe it's the most delicious?"

After he walked out of the door, Xiao Wu rubbed his front legs and added doubtfully.

...

At the same time, in the front hall.

"...That's probably what happened at the time. The scene was very chaotic, and I don't know the details. In short, it was the man named Victor who made the first move - he actually threw people into the ceiling! It was terrible, I have never

I have never seen such a ferocious dark wizard!"

"'Never seen it before';?"

"Oh...Okay! I've only seen it two or three times at most...no, just once or twice! Seriously, this is cruel enough, isn't it?"

Regarding this old witch who was attracted by ten gold galleons, Sirius felt that he could only trust 80% of her at best, because the remaining 20% ​​was not reliable no matter how she sounded.

But Hermione didn't pay attention to some of the exaggerations in those words. Seeing that the other party seemed to have finished speaking, she asked further:

"So, the person who was thrown to the ceiling and fell into a coma was an injured person with his head covered in bandages?"

"Yes, that's definitely true!"

As the old witch spoke, she even came closer and lowered her voice:

"Actually! The man wrapped in bandages is also suspicious. Maybe no one has noticed it, but I noticed something wrong with him - he has been lying on the ground for the past few days and has hardly moved."

"I think that the one you talked about who turned into a big monster probably didn't run away!"

After Hermione heard this, she didn't say anything more and just nodded lightly.

"If what you said is correct, ten gold galleons will be yours."

You only need to say a few words to get ten gold galleons. Although this is not much, it is still a sum of money that can be obtained effortlessly.

Seeing Hermione nodding, the old witch seemed very happy and suddenly stretched out her hand.

However, Sirius next to her blocked her hand back.

"Let's wait until these words are verified - if there is no problem, it will be yours sooner or later; but if you say it randomly to try to defraud the gold galleons, I will take you to Azkaban for a visit in advance!"

"Oh, how dare I do this! I guarantee that everything is true!"

As the old witch spoke, she quickly took a few steps away, her face full of a flattering smile.

Looking at the other party's old face that made people feel disgusted, Sirius couldn't help but muttered:

"No wonder Maka has to gather those people together to prevent them from coming out casually. I don't believe that this kind of people are dark wizards, but they can't be good people. Once something happens, these people will definitely be

The first ones to betray us."

Not to mention that Sirius deeply agreed with Maka's decision, Hermione had already lowered her head and began to look through the name book that Ron had taken out again.

Not long after, Hermione, who had flipped through the book twice, raised her head again and nodded to her companions around her.

"According to the lady, the patient's entire head was bandaged," she said, "but there are no patient records of similar injuries."

Hermione's meaning has been made very clear, that is to say, there is indeed something wrong with the bandage man. If it is to say that he will become the big man in the room, the possibility is very high.

"So, how did he sneak in?" Ron seemed a little confused, "Except for today, Maka would go to that temporary ward at least once every day - she wanted to be under Maka's nose.

Sneaking through is much harder than sneaking into the Ministry of Magic!"

Seeing that Ron was finally willing to think about business, Hermione couldn't help but nodded.

"This is indeed a big question," she thought for a moment, then added, "but the question doesn't stop there - what I want to know most now is, who is this person?"

Although the spiders raised by Maka are not generally powerful, they are unlikely to easily petrify Haierbo, so that person must not be Haierbo himself.

Therefore, if we can find out the identity of the other party as soon as possible, we may be able to find some precious clues.

"Let's go over and have a look! Now we have some clues. Maybe we can see something from the petrified big man."

With that said, Hermione was about to turn around and go to the side door, but unexpectedly, a figure walked in from the outside before her.

"Um...hey! Let my son return to his original appearance quickly!"

"What?" Sirius immediately frowned and said, "Harry said he wanted to help you just now, but you didn't even agree to let us get closer, and now you're here again -"

"Sirius!"

Harry quickly tugged on his robe to prevent him from having a bad temper and quarreling with old Victor if he didn't get his way.

You know, now is not the time to quarrel.

"Mr. Victor, I'm sorry... we can't do that right now." Ginny, who was not far away, followed, "But don't worry, we will definitely make your son recover."

It's a pity that no matter how nice Ginny is, her own son has turned into a "statue" after all, and this cannot be persuaded by just polite words. (To be continued)
