Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

"So next, what I want to tell everyone is: in the closet, the Bogut sitting in the dark has not yet appeared in any image. It doesn't know what can scare the people outside... I don’t know what Bogut looks like when I’m alone, but when I release it, it will immediately become the thing that each of us fears the most."

"This means," said Professor Lu Hu, "before the practice officially begins, we have a huge advantage over Bogut... Does anyone know where the advantage lies?"

"I think... because there are too many people here," said a student.

"Yes, that's right!" Lupin smiled. "When dealing with Bogut, the best way is to have more people, so that he gets confused. Because he doesn't know what to change."

"Repelling Bogut's spell is very simple, but it requires willpower. You know, what really scares Bogut away is laughter! All you have to do is force it to become what you think is ridiculous."

"Let's chant the spell without using a magic wand. Tell me... funny!"

Maca is obviously not cold about this, in fact, Bogut is almost harmless.Even if the other party becomes the thing you fear most, it won't cause you corresponding harm-they will only scare you with bluffing.

"Okay," said Professor Lupin, "very good. But this is only the easiest part. You know, just saying this spell is not enough..."

Lupin arranged everyone in a row and went up to deal with Bogut in the closet.

In this regard, the content of the course chosen by Lupin is undoubtedly much stronger than Hagrid.Although Bogut looks terrible, it has no possibility of hurting people, and it is very suitable as the content of the first class.

Everyone seems very happy, after all, such an interesting course is really rare.

Of course, occasionally, it is inevitable that some students are frightened and dizzy, but at least so far no one has had such a situation.

Soon, it will be Maca's turn.

"...Oh, good! Very good!" Lupin praised loudly, and then went on, "Then, next one!"

Maca stepped forward, facing Bogut, who had turned into a snow monster in Christmas costume before, and waited quietly.

He was also curious about how Bogut would react when facing him.

The next moment, the snow monster twisted and spun, making a crackling sound-this was a sign that Bogut was about to deform.

But the crackling sound continued, it rotated so fast, but it didn't complete its deformation.

Doubts appeared on everyone's faces, and Professor Lu Ping looked at Bogut suspiciously, not knowing what it was doing.

You know, people are fearful, even no matter how small, Bogut will detect it and transform himself into what the other person fears.

So Lupin didn't think about anything else at all, he just thought that something was wrong with this Bogut.

But Maca knew exactly what was happening. He looked at Bogut, who was twisting and spinning in the air, and saw that it didn't seem to stop, so he couldn't help but stretch out his wand.

Originally Maca wanted to use a Frozen Curse, but after a little thought, he gave up.

"Funny."

Maca turned the spinning Bogut into a big ball of wool, bounced on the ground several times, and rolled aside.

"Perhaps because I am more afraid of dizziness, it wants to make me dizzy by spinning constantly." Maca explained dryly.

"Um..." Lu Ping said, spreading his hands, "Oh, okay... Maybe that's right."

The other students were wondering. When they heard Maca's reason, they couldn't help but laugh.

In general, this class was very successful.If possible, everyone hopes that Professor Lupin can break the curse that "Defense against the Dark Arts professors can only serve for one year".

The students liked his Defence Against the Dark Arts course.

Perhaps only Draco Malfoy and his gang of Slytherin House people were talking bad about Professor Lupin.

"Look at his robe," Malfoy would say loudly as Professor Lupin walked by, "He is dressed like a house elf in our house."

But apart from them, no one cared that Professor Lupin's robe had patches and fringes.

His next few lessons were as lively and interesting as the first.

After Bogut, they studied the red hat, which is a kind of unpleasant little guy like a monster. Wherever someone bleeds, they are lurking somewhere.In the main castle building, in the potholes of the deserted battlefield, they waited to violently attack those who lost their way.

Then, the content of the class changed from a red hat to a Kabbah.

This is a crawling aquatic animal that looks like a scaly monkey with webbed hands, busy trying to strangle the waders walking in their ponds without knowing the depth.

Everyone is looking forward to every class. The Defence Against the Dark Arts class hasn't brought you this feeling for a long time.

Compared with the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Hagrid's magical creature protection class looked terrible.

After the first lesson full of action, this course became very dull.

Although Maca made a good start for Hagrid, the rumors spread by Malfoy made Hagrid lose confidence.Now they learn how to take care of the Flobber caterpillar from lesson to lesson, and they often stuff shredded lettuce into the slimy throat of the Flobber caterpillar in class...

In the eyes of the students, they must be the most annoying creatures in existence.

Maca has nothing to do with this.

Although he didn't mind being an "assistant" outside the organization by the way, since Hagrid had lost his confidence, he was not the kind of person who insisted on getting in to help.

What's more, he has a lot to do!

Even later, he had to spare time to go to Hogsmeade Village and get something from his partner Tyrande.

The village of Hogsmeade is always covered in white because it has been on the snow line for many years.On this point, Maca has long been used to it.

But the recent Hogsmeade is a bit different from usual-there are dementors searching everywhere, and most wizards rarely go out.

Sirius Black’s escape from prison did cause a lot of trouble. After all, since Azkaban was run as a wizard’s prison, there has never been a prisoner escape from prison!

Maca walked alone in the dark village of Hogsmeade, and would pass by one or two dementors in a short while, but they all ignored the existence of Maca without exception.

It turns out that they can't find Maca.

And Maca didn't have the time to pay attention to the monsters. He hurriedly bypassed the tall and thin big guys and quickly came to the back door of an unremarkable shop in a certain alley.

"Boom boom."

Maca knocked on the wooden door lightly, and the sound was particularly abrupt in the silent night.

Soon, the door was opened from the inside, and a face covered with bandage appeared behind the door.

"Oh, it's you... come in quickly." Tyrande opened the wooden door halfway and beckoned in a hurry.

Maca walked in on his side, and the door quickly creaked and closed again.

"It's terrible! Those damn...cough cough...damn dementors!" Tyrande angrily said, "businesses...cough cough...were driven away by them!"

"So I'm here to give you something good." Under Maca's disguise, the file-like voice still made people want to pick their ears.

He took out a small bottle and placed it on the table in front of Tyrande.

"This is a gadget that has a similar effect to the Patronus Charm. Although the effect is much worse than the Patronus Charm, after all, anyone can use it..."

"Why...cough cough...how to use it?" Tyrande picked up the small bottle and looked at it. There seemed to be a mass of milky white flocculent inside, glowing with a faint light.

"You only need to pull out the cork." Maca explained, "It will burst out with a burst of white light, blocking the dementor outside, and the effective duration is about one minute."

"Oh! This is really a...ahem...good thing." Tyrande looked very happy. "How many are these things?"

"It's a pity, not much." Maca said, "At least don't expect it to be mass-produced...but the price can be higher, can't it?"

"Ahem...Yes, I think...Ahem, yes!" Tyrande nodded and said, "Oh, by the way...Ahem...Your stuff is ready."

He stood up, took a flat box down from the shelf behind him, and placed it in front of Maca.

Maca opened the box gently and picked up the contents.

It was a dark outfit, from clothes to pants, to a long cloak with a hood, and even a pair of boots and a pair of gloves.

They all look exquisite, and at first glance they seem to be black, but if you look closely, you will find a faint dark green in them.And just on their surface, they seem to have fine scales, which reminds people of snake skin.

That's right, this is using the snake skin peeled from the basilisk with Maca's great effort as the raw material, and asked Tyrande to find a good thing customized by the craftsman.

In addition, there is still a lot of material left on the basilisk, enough for Maca to slowly arm himself.

Especially the basilisk horn, Maca intends to handle it by himself.If nothing happens, a powerful self-made magic wand will become one of his powerful aids in the future.

The things he wanted to do had been done. Maca sat here for a while longer at Tyrande. After learning about the recent rumors, he got up and left.

But what he didn't expect was that in the village of Hogsmeade where dementors were everywhere, Sirius Black was daringly running around in the form of Animagus.

"...Really big-hearted."

When Maca walked out the back door of Tyrande's shop, he caught a glimpse of a certain black dog flashing by in the depths of the alley.
