Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Generally speaking, Maca didn't have much interest in the Weasleys. As said before, he didn't like this kind of lively scene very much.

It's just that Ron, as a member of the future trio, has too many stories involving him.Although Maca could not remember many details, it did not prevent him from wanting to get to know Ron.In his opinion, this was the closest breakthrough to being made with Harry, Hermione and others.

Of course, it doesn't need to be too deep.

On that day, Maca and Luna had lunch at Weasley’s home, then spent the afternoon at the Burrow, and then returned to Lovegood’s home again.

It’s worth mentioning that he has made an appointment with Mrs. Weasley. They will go to Diagon Alley together at the end of next month to buy the necessities needed for school. Ron has also received Hogwarts’ Admission Notice.

The days at Lovegood’s house passed very quickly. Maca and Luna talked about each other every day. Sometimes the conversation might be a little bit wrong, but most of the time they talked very quickly.

It's just that happy days always seem short, time passed quickly, and soon it was the date agreed with Mrs. Weasley.That morning, Maca said goodbye to Luna and his daughter, and then stepped into the fireplace of Lovegood's house with his suitcase.

I have lived in Luna's house for nearly a month, no matter how cheeky, Maca also guessed that it was time to say goodbye.Of course, before leaving, Maca helped Mr. Lovegood repair the damaged fence, which left him a good impression.

At the last parting, Luna showed a bit of dismay for the first time.Maca wondered, is this a pretty good start?To be honest, he still has a good impression of this sometimes smart and sometimes off-line girl, although not to the extent that he likes it.

"Boom!"

When Maca arrived at Diagon Alley, Luna and her father were staring at the empty fireplace.Obviously, this time someone finally discovered the vision of Maca using Floo powder-they were taken aback.

Green tongues of fire rushing high past their eyes, almost licking Mr. Lovegood's torn robe. If he stood closer, he would probably go to Diagon Alley with Maca.

...

The place where Maca and Mrs. Weasley made an appointment is the Partage Crucible Shop, which is just behind the Broken Cauldron Bar.According to Ron, he didn't need to buy anything because he was going to use second-hand goods that Charlie had used.

"Except for a new crucible, because Charlie's mouth is leaking." Ron, who was saying this at the time, seemed reluctant. "I would rather miss a copy of "Standard Spells, Elementary", which is more expensive. Some, and it won’t look so stupid.

But when Maca stood at the door of the cauldron shop and looked inside for a few moments, he found that he had probably arrived a little earlier.

"Anyway, let's go to Gringa!" Maca looked around and decided to act according to the original plan.

Gringotts is the only bank in the magical world, and it is run by a fairy with branches all over the world.The fairies provide related businesses of saving money and renting out the vault. Of course, there are also corners and corners such as currency exchange.

Under the bow of several fairies at the door, Maca walked into the marble hall of Gringotts.As soon as he entered, he was stunned by the busy but orderly scene inside.

About a hundred or so fairies were sitting on high stools behind a long row of counters, some weighing coins with copper balances, and some checking gems with eyepieces, while registering them on a large ledger.There are countless doors in the hall, leading to different places, and many goblins guide customers in and out of these doorways.

Seriously, this kind of scene is rare. Maca stood by the door and watched for a while, and then walked over to the counter pinned to the nameplate of the "Muggle Currency Exchange."

"Time is money, my friend," Maca couldn't help making a famous saying looking at a young goblin on a high stool, and then asked, "What is the exchange rate for the pound?"

"Oh-yes, yes," the goblin at the counter suddenly lit up when he heard the words, as if he had heard some plausible sayings, he carefully examined the Maca and then replied, "Today's exchange rate is 5.01, distinguished guest, do you need to redeem? The handling fee is 1.5 points."

Maca quickly took out most of his money from the suitcase, and after going through the exchange procedures, he deposited all of it in Gringotts, leaving only 100 Jin Jialong for himself.

"It's nice to serve you, Sir, I wish you a lot of money!" At the end, the fairy happily said to him with a sharp voice.

When Maca walked to the gate, he vaguely heard a familiar cry from behind him.

"Time is money my friend!"

"It's really moving." Maca grinned and left here with a cheerful pace.

"Well, where do you go next? Or just walk around first?"

Just when Maca was thinking about going there, his eyes were attracted by another fork in the road opposite Gringotts.

The shops in Diagon Alley are already crowded enough, but it looks a bit narrower over there, and even the light is mostly blocked by the odd-shaped buildings, which makes people feel a little gloomy.

Maca hesitated in place, then walked over there.

The doors of the three shops at the intersection were closed tightly, and the windows were all tightly drawn with heavy velvet curtains. The name of the shop on the door was not clear, and it was obviously abandoned for some years.

Going a few steps further inside, a small shop called "Giant Spider" is opening its door. There seems to be a lot of strange creatures locked in cages, which reminds him of an item on the shopping list— -Students can bring an owl or a cat or a toad.

Maybe it's good to go in and take a look, anyway, he came too early today and there is still a lot of time.

"Welcome, young guest." In the innermost part of the shop, an old witch wearing a wide-brimmed peaked hat whispered in a dark, hoarse voice, "...please take a look."

Maca glanced over there, and then looked at the creatures in the cages on both sides one by one.

To put it bluntly, he just took a look. He didn't know most of the creatures inside, but that didn't hinder his curiosity.

Suddenly, he saw a black owl. It looked very big, at least two times larger than the breed in the "Ellah Owl Store" that passed by before.

"What kind of owl is this?" Maca turned his head and asked the old witch inside.

"Long-eared Rune Owl (xiao), born in Sumatra, is good at hunting and alerting, and good at predicting the arrival of earthquakes and tsunamis." The old witch said gloomily, her dry and chapped lips opened and closed, and they were slanted and missing. A yellow tooth is clearly visible.

Maca looked at the owl in the cage again, and saw that it was looking at him quietly, and couldn't help but ask: "How much?"

The old witch grinned, her stiff smile making people horrified, "Twenty Jin Jialong, my husband."

Maca glanced at the old witch, her expression unchanged, "Come on, ma'am, I'm not the gangsters of Hogwarts."

The old witch looked up and down the Maca hesitantly, then slightly lifted her arched back, and her voice became louder, "Well, sir, fifteen Jin Jialong is not two prices."

This time Maca didn't even look at her, turned around and walked out, walking fast as if fleeing from some filth.

"Wait, wait sir, ten, no... eight, at least eight!" The old witch suddenly shouted when she saw this.

After hearing this, Maca turned his head and didn't cut down.He estimated that although there must be a lot of profit at this price, it is almost the same, and he will not be able to buy it even if he wants to bargain.

"Deal." Maca took out eight Jin Jialong and placed it on the counter, then picked up the cage and walked out of the shop.

"Wait! The price of the cage will be calculated separately!" The old witch chased to the door, only to find that Maca had long since disappeared from the crowd on the street.

At this moment, she stood at the door and was surprised to find that this old witch was two meters tall!

"Damn! What a nasty little boy, just like that gang of vampires in America!" The old witch couldn't find her target, so she went back cursingly.

Of course Maca didn't run very far, he just walked two steps quickly, and then went straight into a shop called "Meluo Qiwuguan".

"Welcome to the Meiluo Wonders and Treasures Museum, here are everything, you can choose slowly!" A little man who was shorter than Maca suddenly popped out from behind a shelf, his sharp voice was stronger than that of Gringotts Fairy It's half a key.

"I just look at it."

Maca spoke casually, and pulled out a...oh no, half a wand from the big basket beside the shelf.The half of the wand was scarred, with several deep scratches on the wand, and even the dirty core of the wand could be seen at the break.

"This is a rare treasure?" Maca looked at the half of the stick in his hand with a strange expression.

But the short wizard seemed to think it was a treasure. He waved his hands and exclaimed excitedly, "Oh, yes, yes! The magic wand used by Greenward as a student, the yew wood, the dragon's heart cord, ten Four and three-quarters of an inch... I mean once."

Maca sighed and threw the half of the wand back into the basket.

Afterwards, Maca picked up a few gadgets on the shelf and watched, while the short man was dancing around him, telling a series of stories that sounded false enough, as if he was hoping to attract Maca's attention.

Just when Maca put down the things in his hand and was about to leave, his eyes suddenly caught sight of an unremarkable blue light flashing in the gap of the shelf!

Maca immediately looked away, pretending to squat down to check other goods, but he had a care in mind.
