Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

The last few days of vacation at Lovegood’s house seemed like a busy day for Maca.

He didn't hold his notebooks anymore, but accompanied Luna to catch fish and insects in the back mountain, and then took a nap under the shade of the tree.

It was just that the school day came soon, and Maca had to end his real holiday time.

Xenofilius sent Maca and Luna to King's Cross Station, and after watching them pass through the wall pillars, he hurried back to work.

I don't know if it was because of their arrival too early, there were almost no people on the 9th and 3rd quarter platform.

Well, except for Hagrid's huge figure, which can be seen from a distance.

Maca brought Luna closer, only to realize that another person was being blocked by Hagrid's body like a wall.

"Good morning, Professor Hagrid." Maca patted Hagrid on the arm and said, "Oh, yes, and Professor Lupin... I am looking forward to your course."

Luna beside Maca also nodded slightly to the two of them as a gesture of courtesy.

"Oh—Maca, how do you know—" Hagrid looked at Maca in surprise.

"It's okay. When I saw the "Monster Book of Monsters" in Li Hen Bookstore, I was mentally prepared." Maca spread his hands and said calmly.

"Haha! I heard that those books have caused a headache for the bookstore manager for a while!" Professor Lu Ping opposite Hagrid laughed.

Although Lupin should be very young, there are quite a few wrinkles on his face.He had gray hair and ragged clothes, and his shabby robe was covered with patches, and he looked tired.

But the naughty spirit when speaking, vaguely revealed his unruly and calm heart.

Lupin apparently already knew something about Maca, a low-key and talented student. He chatted with Maca enthusiastically, and occasionally made a little joke, and didn't treat him as a child at all. .

It is worth mentioning that Maca has given Hagrid some suggestions on the course arrangement, but it is really uncertain whether Hagrid can listen.

Luna stood by and looked at Maca's profile quietly. Gradually, the students around began to increase.

"Well, get in the car! Maca...and Miss Lovegood." Lupin smiled.

When Maca followed Lupin onto the Hogwarts Express and planned to take Luna back, she reached out and pulled La Maca's sleeve.

"I'm going to my friend, are you coming too?" Luna said softly.

Maca looked at the back of Lupin who was walking in front, then looked at Luna, could not help but think for a moment.

"Luna, I still have something..." Maca said, "You take this, if you encounter a dementor, open the cork."

As he said, he stuffed a milky white potion bottle into Luna's hand.

"Well, you also keep these chocolates. If you feel uncomfortable, eat some, it works."

Maca watched Luna walk into a compartment of the carriage before continuing to walk back.

Although he wanted to keep Luna by his side.But maybe it’s the most suitable choice to be farther away, after all, something unpleasant will happen in a while.

After a while, the train was spraying steam and began to move slowly.

At this time, Harry, Ron, and Hermione, who had been delayed for a while because of the Weasleys, also came. They were looking for empty cars along the corridor, but all the cars were full.

As they walked, they found that they had reached the last carriage.

"Oh-Maca!" Hermione said in surprise.

Harry was equally happy, except that Ron's face was a bit unpleasant.

Maca stood up and welcomed the three of them in.He stretched out his hand naturally, hooked Ron's shoulder, and pulled him to his side.

"Hey, don't care about that

"Oh-I think so." Ron responded in a low voice.

It can be seen that the expression on his face seems a little relaxed.

"Maca, who is that?" Harry asked, pointing to the man in the corner.

Lupin was probably a little tired because of the hurry. After chatting with Maca for a while, he said that he wanted to take a nap first.

At this moment, he was leaning against the window and fell asleep gently!

"The new professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts this semester, Mr. Lupin." Maca said softly, "Trust me, he is a qualified professor."

"Oh, I hope so... I mean, if it's like you said, I hope he can do it longer." Harry couldn't help but say.

"But he looks weak?" At least Ronken had spoken near Maca, although he still looked a little cautious, "Oh yes, Harry, what did you want to say to us in the aisle?"

Harry told them about the Weasleys' argument and the warnings that Mr. Weasley had just given him.

After he finished speaking, Ron seemed to be struck by lightning, and Hermione covered her mouth with both hands.

"Sirius Black escaped to chase you? Oh, Harry...you must be more careful, be very careful! Don't ask for trouble, Harry..." Hermione kept saying.

"I didn't ask for trouble," Harry said angrily. "Usually trouble finds me."

"I see, there is no need to worry so much." Maca said calmly, "Hogwarts is safe, you just don't want to run around."

However, it is obviously a bit unrealistic to want the three little lions to settle down.

It didn't take long before the three of Harry began to discuss some interesting shops in Hogsmeade Village.

"Ron, do you know Hogsmeade well?" Hermione asked sharply."I read from the book that this is the only place in the UK where there are no Muggles..."

"Yeah, I think so," Ron said nonchalantly, "but that's not why I want to go. I just want to go to Duke Honey!"

"What's that?" Hermione asked.

"It's a candy store," Maca casually said, "There are some weird candies in it, but I have to say that some of them are good."

"But Hogsmeade is a very interesting place, isn't it?" Hermione asked eagerly. "The book "The Witcher's Monument" says that the small hotel was the headquarters of the monster rebellion in 1612 and the screaming shed. This house may be the most ghostly haunted house in Britain—"

"Are you afraid of ghosts?" Maca asked back. "Didn't you go to the death party of the almost headless Nick?"

"No! I'm not afraid, I'm just curious..." Hermione said, turning her head away. "Leave school for a while and go to Hogsmeade to explore. How great is that, isn't it?"

"I think so." Harry said dullly. "When you feel this way, you must tell me."

"What do you mean by this?" Ron said.

"I can't go. The Dursleys didn't sign the consent form for me, and Fudge refused."

"Don't let you go?" Ron exclaimed, "but...maybe...Professor McGonagall or someone else will approve you to go."

Harry gave a dry laugh.

Professor McGonagall, the dean of Gryffindor College, is a very strict person.

"--Or we can ask Fred and George, they know every secret passage out of the castle--"

"Ron!" Hermione said sharply, "With Black at large, I don't think Harry should leave school secretly! And Maca said..."

"Yeah, I expected Professor McGonagall to say that when I asked for approval." Harry said painfully.

"Maca should go, too?" Ron immediately turned his head and looked at Maca expectantly, "In that case, Blake would not dare to—"

The grudge in his heart seemed to have been washed away by the playful things.

"Oh, Ron, stop talking nonsense." Hermione said sharply. "Blake has killed so many people on the crowded street. I don't want both Maca and Harry to have an accident..."

She said as she fumbled and untied the straps on the Crookshanks basket.

It was the pet cat Hermione had just bought in Diagon Alley. She thought Crookshanks was cute, but Ron obviously didn't think so.

"Don't let this thing out!" Ron called.

But it was too late, Crookshanks easily jumped out of the basket, stretched, yawned, and then jumped onto Ron's lap.

The drum in Ron's pocket trembled, and Ron drove off Crookshanks angrily.

"Go away!"

"Ron, don't do this!" Hermione said angrily.

"Oh, yes," Harry asked curiously, looking at Crookshank which had jumped on Maca's lap, "What about your owl? Why can't you always see it?"

Maca shook his head when he heard the words.

"You mean Marfa? I don't always see it... It likes to fly everywhere and stays in the forbidden forest during summer vacation."

The three little lions immediately looked at Maca in surprise, but Maca was still very calm.

He stroked the hair of Crookshanks, while faintly said: "Marfa is a very assertive owl. Maybe it has been kept in prison for a long time, and now he likes the feeling of freedom."

The Hogwarts express train steadily headed north, and the scenery outside the window gradually turned into a continuous forest, and the surrounding environment was getting darker.

At the same time, the clouds above my head became thicker and thicker.

Outside the door of their carriage, there were people walking back and forth, Crookshanks now slumped steadily on Maca’s lap, its squashed face turned to Ron, and its yellow eyes were always watching. Holding Ron's pocket.

At one o'clock, the food truck plopped to the door of their carriage.

"You said, should we wake him up?" Ron looked at Professor Lupin, who was still tired in his sleep, "He looks like he needs something to eat."

"Don't worry, I have a lot of food in my box, let's talk about it when he wakes up!"

Maca stopped Hermione who wanted to come to wake Lupin, and signaled that they only need to take care of their stomachs first.

"The professor told me before going to bed that he was just a little tired."

In the afternoon, it started to rain, and the outline of the rolling hills outside the window gradually became blurred in the rain curtain.

At this time, they heard footsteps in the hallway outside again, and several people seemed to be slowly approaching here...
