Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Chapter 23-The Cowardly Malfoy

The temporary selection test ended with an unsurprising ending, and Maca succeeded in becoming one of the youngest players in the history of Hufflepuff and even Hogwarts.

Judging from the strength he showed, this title had to be added with the word "strongest" to be more accurate.

As Maca expected, his study time really shrank dramatically.But the training plan was very substantial. As Maca became more familiar with various formations, Darren devised new combat tactics.This is Hufflepuff's strongest time ever, so they also had the idea of ​​competing for the Quidditch Cup!

And this new tactic is the latest winning strategy laid out around the basic score.It can be said that the addition of Maca has given everyone a desire for the Quidditch Cup, which is rarely seen in low-key little badgers.

Because of this, all members of the team unanimously stated that they would never go out of the news about Maca's entry into the team.In the next duel with Slytherin College, Maca will be on the stage as a surprise soldier, and he has to beat the little snakes who always like to make small moves!

As a result, Maca seemed particularly busy in the following days.Either in the library or in the Quidditch stadium, whenever Maca starts practicing, there are always several Hufflepuff seniors wandering around the stadium.It seems that this surprise plan was really implemented quite thoroughly by these hard-working and focused low-key badgers.

Before you know it, Christmas is approaching.

On a particularly cold morning, everyone discovered that Hogwarts had been covered by a thick layer of snow.The beautiful white scenery outside the window is telling everyone that the first snow in Hogwarts this year has been unknowingly sent to the ground in everyone's sleep.

A hard layer of ice formed on the lake behind the castle, which made the students happy.The ice sledges stacked in the utility room are finally ready for use, and you don’t need to ride the dangling boat during the Christmas holidays!

The Weasley twin brothers have recently been punished because the two of them cast magic on a few snowballs, causing them to chase Quirrell everywhere, but accidentally hit the back of his headscarf. .

At that moment Maca happened to be passing by an upstairs window, and he was delighted to see the scene, it was unlucky for Voldemort!

Several owls delivered mail during the night in the wind and snow, and experienced untold hardships, even losing a lot of feathers.They must rest for some time under Hagrid's care before they can continue their work.

Maca’s Owl Mafa seems to be very new to snowy skies. Perhaps this is because in its hometown-Sumatra, you can never see this icy and snowy scenery!

Maca watched it hovering high in the sky, sometimes flapping its wings to climb high, and sometimes diving and passing low.From a distance, no one would think it was just an owl.

In the recent night, Maca has been wandering in the forbidden book area, and his understanding of black magic has gradually deepened.But he still has no plans to study the most dangerous banned books. He believes that the time has not yet arrived and there is no need to trouble himself.

So, while accumulating a little bit of experience in preparing potions, he started to compete with Transfiguration.To be precise, this is a long and endless road to death with all kinds of biological and non-biological materials.

Since there is no shortcut, I have to learn from Hermione.At least, the research and memory of various materials can also help the progress of the potion to a certain extent.

Speaking of it, Christmas is a holiday.

Last week, Professor Sprout came to register the list of students who stayed at the school for the holidays. Maca hesitated and signed it.He plans to take advantage of the holiday to see Luna. He has been busy since the beginning of school. It is also a good choice to go out and relax at Christmas.

and,

It is impossible to say that he is actually a lolicon?

"No, no, it's absolutely impossible." Maca shook his head, amused at his thoughts.

At this moment, Maca was on his way to the potions classroom, and he had a few questions to ask Snape.

But when he walked quickly around the corner of the corridor, he found Hagrid, who was huge—he was holding a fir tree that was bigger than him.

The corridor that was originally fairly spacious was tightly blocked by him, and he couldn't make it through.

"Hey, Hagrid, do you need help?" In the gap between the branches, a head came from the other side, it seemed to be Ron.

"No, I can do it, thank you, Ron." —It was Ron as expected.

"Can you get out of the way, don't stand in the way?" Maca suddenly heard Malfoy's cold, long-sounding voice coming from behind the fir tree.

"Do you want to earn some pocket money, Weasley? I was thinking, you probably want to watch the hunting grounds after graduating from Hogwarts, right? Hagrid’s cabin is compared to your original home. It must look like a palace!"

Ron's head immediately retracted from between the branches, and Malfoy's sarcastic remarks clearly angered him.

"Weasley!" Maca heard Snape's voice.

"Someone messed with him first, Professor Snape." Hagrid said, sticking out his shaggy head from behind the tree, "Malfoy just insulted his family."

"In any case, it is against Hogwarts school rules to hit someone, Hagrid." Snape said in a smooth tone. "It is a wise choice to take the initiative like McLean. Gryffindor is Five points are deducted. Weasley, you should be thankful that I didn't punish you to wipe the trophy. Okay, let's go, everyone."

When Malfoy on the side heard the surname "McLean", he immediately gritted his teeth. It seemed that he hated Maca very much.

When he took Crabbe and Gore and squeezed past the tree rudely, knocked the needles off the ground, and walked forward with a face of irritation, he saw Maca.

Malfoy immediately wiped his anger from his face, and walked across the corridor pretending not to see it.But his deliberately staying away from Maca exposed the timidity in his heart.

"It seems that the effect of punishment is still there."

Maca glanced back, but just happened to ran into Malfoy's hateful look.He saw Maca looking over and immediately turned his head back.

"...But maybe it's not enough." Maca smiled before walking forward.

"Professor Snape, excuse me," Macca stopped Snape as he was walking towards the restaurant, "I wonder if you have time to help me answer a few questions about potions."

Snape turned around, still looking at Maca coldly, then lifted his chin and signaled that he wanted to ask quickly.

"Oh, it's like this—"

At the stall where Maca asked, Ron couldn't help but whispered to Harry: "I really admire Maca, and I can still ask questions normally under Snape's freezing eyes..."

"For me, when Snape's attitude is best, it's when Maca asks him a question." Harry took a moment to glance at Snape's expression, and then continued, "It doesn't seem to be much better. ."

"Maca's progress in potions class can't even be understood by me," Hermione said regretfully. "Although I often go to him to discuss some topics, I have nothing in his notebook recently. can not read it."

In fact, as far as the recent situation is concerned, although Maca is talking about Snape asking questions, it will basically become a discussion between the two of a certain potion theory.While Maca learned a lot, Snape actually got some more novel inspirations in the topic.

Of course, the amount of knowledge of the potion master is not a joke.In most cases, the discussion will end with Snape's correction of Maca.

But what I have to mention is that in Snape's deep heart, it seems that Maca is gradually becoming a student.Because in many discussions, he was keenly aware that Maca has a magic research philosophy that is almost the same as that of him-to achieve his goals and ignore all standards of good and evil.

In their minds, there is no substantial distinction between black magic and white magic, and both can be used.The difference lies only in the user's moral code, nothing more.

Maybe even Maca didn't realize this, but Snape, who had been trapped in a more terrifying darkness, noticed.

After resolving the doubts encountered during the research, Maca and Snape said they were apart, and they walked to the Harry trio who was waiting for him.Behind him, Snape stared at him without expression for a while, then suddenly turned around and walked to the dining room.

Probably only Dumbledore really understood what Snape was thinking.

When Maca walked up to Hermione, they were chatting with Hagrid.

"Oh! You're finally finished asking, come and have a look at the restaurant with me! It's amazing!" Hagrid laughed happily, the fir tree in his arms was trembling with his laughter. , More needles fell.

"I'll help you Hagrid, you are about to shake all the needles above it!" Maca took out his wand and cast a floating spell, making the fir tree float on top of everyone's heads and drifting forward with him.

"Oh—not really. I mean, thank you." Hagrid said embarrassedly.

So Harry, Ron, and Hermione followed Hagrid and his fir tree to the auditorium with Maca.Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick are there, busy arranging Christmas decorations.

"Aha! What a nice floating spell, Mr. McLean." Professor Flitwick said happily. "Leave it there—in that corner, okay? This is the last one."
