Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 1 Dialogue under the Stars
The evening sun has a trance-like beauty. It falls through the gaps of the clouds, precipitating a lazy breath.The intricate tombstones dragged out long and narrow shadows in the dim sunset, creating a different atmosphere.
Not far away, beside a lush white poplar tree, a man with messy white hair like cotton candy was standing there holding a little girl.There is no doubt that this is a pair of father and daughter who are sweeping the grave.
What Maca had noticed just now was the back of the girl with light gold hair and waist-length hair.
Of course, Maca is not a pedophile, and he has no interest in a girl who seems to be in her early ten years at most-although he is about the same age now.It's just this long hair, but it exudes a shining halo in the sunset, and that unique scene is really hard to ignore.
Maca couldn't help but took a few more glances, but that was all.He paused, then immediately looked away, and walked to town with his suitcase.
Only in the few steps he was about to step out of the tomb ring, he vaguely heard the man's voice.
"Luna, let's go back too, it's getting late."
Luna?Long light blonde hair?In the depths of Maca's mind, a flash of light flew across a few words that seemed a little obscure as time passed.
"Isn't it so coincidental?"
Maca stopped again, hesitated on the spot, and dived into the bushes by the road-he wanted to go back and check.
When Maca returned to the cemetery from the woods, Luna and his daughter had already left.He deliberately moved to the place where the two men stood just now, and looked down at the tombstone.
"Pandora Lovegood... Lovegood, you should be right." Maca pondered for a moment, and then ran away. "It's obviously better to find an active wizard to ask for directions than to go blindly. Much better, maybe I can borrow her fireplace for a use! What's the name of that thing? Flying... flying stove powder?"
"That... Mr. Lovegood, wait a moment!"
The father and daughter obviously did not go fast, or, fortunately, they had not left with magic yet, allowing Maca to catch up.
"Well, may I ask you who are you?" Luna's father, Xenofilius, looked back and asked suspiciously while looking at Maca who hurried towards them.
"Oh, yes." Maca quickly ran to the father and daughter, taking advantage of the gap between her breath and sorting out her clues, before continuing, "I am a fan of your editor-in-chief, you know Yes, I like the articles in it very much, it adds color to my life."
In fact, Maca couldn't even remember what the magazine was called, but that didn't prevent him from using this as a starting point for a conversation.
"Well... the horned snorer, yes, the horned snorer. I hope you can know that I have always believed in their existence, although I have never been able to find them." Maca tried to recall the dusty memory, Capture all the scattered fragments imaginable, and throw them as a bargaining chip to the father and daughter standing in front of him.
"Oh, a companion."
Luna's tone was a little dazed, but her silver-gray eyes stared at Maca's face unblinkingly.It can be seen that she has some interest in Maca.
"Haha, thank you for your support, my dear little reader." Xenofilius nodded happily, looking very happy.
When Maca saw this, he immediately promoted his ability to climb at the sight of a pole, piled up a smile on his face, and babbled with Xenofilius with an excited expression, as if he was a true reader of the magazine.
Believe me, it's not difficult. Just follow the topic of the horned snorer and let Xenofilius speak, and then he echoes it from time to time to keep the conversation going.
Three figures, one large, two small, drifted away on the road, and laughter continued on the way. This time the chat was obviously very successful.
Finally, Maca was not unexpectedly invited to Lovegood’s house and planned to live there for some time.This is only because he "coincidentally" and "inadvertently" revealed that he will enroll in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry on September 1 this year.
Not surprisingly, Luna will be enrolled in another year, and Maca will naturally become her senior.
"Next year, I will trouble you to take care of your school girl, Mr. Maca." Xenofilius touched Luna's hair and grinned. "Come on! It seems that today's dinner is better than Usually more abundant, we want to welcome your seniors in advance!"
I have to say that from this "very hearty" dinner, it can be seen that the economic situation of Lovegood's family does not seem to be very good.But this is not too important to Maca, he is not a person who likes luxury.For him, poverty and hunger are the norms of childhood.
Not to mention, on this small table in front of me, there are many ingredients that Maca has never seen before. Although some are a little strange, they have a different flavor and are full of portions.
What Maca particularly likes is the soup made from a kind of aquatic creature called "Large-mouthed Ballfish". It is indeed a delicious dish.Of course, their meat is not very good. It is estimated that the amount of exercise is too large, which makes the meat too old, and there is a strange smell of soil.
"Are you full, kid?" Xenofilius could not help asking when seeing Maca put down the spoon in his hand, "Perhaps, how about you also have a glass of Gordigan tea?"
"Oh, no thank you, I think I was eating too much." Maca touched her chubby belly, embarrassedly said, "Do you mind if I go for a walk?"
"Of course you can. You can ask Luna to accompany you around. It's safe and the air is great." Xenofilius shrugged, "And I'm afraid I have to make some preparations for tomorrow's work. , You know, write manuscripts or something."
"Luna, I don't know if I can invite you for a walk?" Maca turned her head and looked at the girl who was in a daze.
"Huh?" Luna turned her head when she heard the sound, "What? Oh, of course, we can continue to talk about other magical creatures..."
"Yes, yes, I think it's a good choice to talk about unicorns. It is said that they are also very famous in Muggles." Maca smiled and stood up and put on his coat, and then pulled away not far behind door.
Everything else here is pretty good, but the room is a bit too crowded, which reminds him of the small attic where he lived for three years.
The evening air is still so familiar, but the air here is much cleaner than Torpoint’s Tymo Lane, after all, Lovegood’s house was built on a hillside.
The wide field of vision and the sky full of stars made Maca's eyes blurred. Probably Luna's character is not unrelated to this kind of living environment!
"It's beautiful here, with a sense of freedom."
Here, there is no obstruction that will block your footsteps. Maca walks forward with feelings and casts his eyes on the endless night sky.
Luna, who was talking to herself about the topic of mistletoe and the hook, stopped talking abnormally when she heard this, stared at Maca, and then set her sight on the sky full of stars. Among.
"Luna, you see, there is a smell of freedom here, have you smelled it?" Luna said softly, her tone of confusion seemed to be more than usual.
"What?" Maca was stunned when he heard the words, then blinked as if remembering something, "Oh, yes, did your mother say that?"
"Mom likes it too. She often pulls me out to see the stars when she is resting." Luna nodded, she couldn't see anything from her expression, but certain things were obviously impossible to let people relax. .
Maca nodded, he vaguely remembered that Luna's mother had passed away, maybe not too long before now.Of course, he also thought of his mother, from this life and from the previous life.
"It is said that the position and trajectory of the stars can be used as a basis for prediction. Those horsemen seem to be very good at this."
Taking Maca himself as an example, he believes that at this time, instead of saying "I'm sorry about this" or "I'm sorry", the most correct choice is to avoid it lightly. But Luna is obviously not that kind of ordinary girl.
"But my mother has passed away, just last year, because a spell made a big mistake." Luna did not take the topic that Maca handed over, but continued to speak on her own.
"It's really scary. I have been sad about this. But I can't make my father worry. I think he might be more sad than me, so I can't cry."
Hearing the girl's lower and lower muttering, Maca touched the envelope that he had been holding in the pocket of his coat again, and a thought flashed in his head that made him raise his eyebrows.
"My mother has also passed away. I think I kind of understand the feeling you said, but I'm thinking, maybe this doesn't mean we can never see my mother anymore." Maca thought for a while, then continued. , "The principle of magic has always been vague, if we can study it more thoroughly..."
Luna finally had some ordinary expressions on her face, but that was probably not a surprise because of the idea.
"Once you make a mistake, it will become very dangerous." Luna's voice was still very soft, but the trance was wiped out.
"Uh, I think you are right." Maca rubbed his forehead awkwardly.
Luna stared at Maca for a while, but smiled a little.She pursed her lips, then added a little: "But this is indeed a way."
Although the night breeze was refreshing, it was still a bit cooler after all, and Maca shrank and wrapped his coat hard.He waved to Luna, greeted her to go back to the house together, and then turned and walked to the house built like a chess piece.Luna stood behind, looking at Maca's back, and then pursed her lips.
"Wisdom is the greatest wealth of mankind." Luna's words were as low as she was talking to herself.
