Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

It is indeed very troublesome to go through the discharge formalities suddenly. Maca waited for a long time at the door of the'Snow Witch' before finally waiting for Celine.

When Maca saw Celine, her mother was floating beside her, showing no sign of waking up.

"Please come in..." Celine said, opening the door with the key.

The layout of "Snow Witch" has not changed, but the tables and chairs inside have been covered with a thin layer of dust.Once the house is unoccupied, it will soon become like this.

Combined with the current situation of the owner of this private restaurant, it is easy to give people the illusion that "the house and people are decadent together".

Follow Celine to the second floor, which is an arc-shaped corridor extending out against the wall.On one side is the door, and on the other side is the carved wooden handrail that can see the hall downstairs.

The first thing that catches the eye is the various souvenirs in the gallery.They are produced all over the world, along the long corridor, souvenirs are also displayed one by one in front of Maca, from new to old.

Each of the souvenirs seemed to tell of Celine's mother's colorful life.

At the end of the corridor, a portrait was hanging.When Maca walked up to it, the woman inside gave him a peaceful smile.

"That's a self-portrait of my mother when she was young..." Celine said, "Please here."

As she spoke, she opened the wooden door of the last room.It seems that this is her mother's bedroom.

When Maca glanced in the bedroom for the first time, he didn't have many accidents.

There is nothing else here, except for the plain single bed and a dressing table, all other places where things can be put are cleverly arranged with all kinds of wonderful souvenirs.

Probably, this is Celine's mother's only hobby in her life.

Maca helped Celine to open the quilt, and then Celine carefully put her mother on the bed.At this time, Maca took out a bottle of nourishing medicine and poured it into Celine's mother.

"This allows her to maintain her strength so that she can be checked more safely..." Maca explained, "Well, she can swallow on her own."

After that, he continued: "Let your mother take a break and let the potion work its due effect. Let's go out first..."

"Sorry, I think I'd better use the curse outside the school as little as possible-you move the tables and chairs first, we need a large enough space." Maca pointed to the middle of the hall and said.

When Celine heard it, he immediately waved his magic wand and used a floating spell to stack the tables and chairs against the wall.

"Is that enough? If it's not enough, I can get rid of the bar--"

"No, that's enough." Maca said as she walked to the edge of the hall and began to take things out.

Including a thick notebook, several rolls of blank parchment, quill pen and ink bottle, his self-made fountain pen, and several potion bottles of different models.

He was obviously about to start drawing the rune pattern he had figured out himself again, which looked like a Muggle circuit diagram.

"You can sit for a while, or go to your mother's place to watch-I know you should be very worried," Maca said, "When I'm done, I'll call you."

Celine hesitated, and then nodded silently.

Maca didn't care about her anymore, but leaned over and lay on the floor, turning over her hand to ponder it carefully.

The steps to be done this time are not much different from what he did last time.It's just been a while since the first attempt, and during this period, Maca also checked his soul several times.

At this moment, there have been a lot of improvements in the structure of the formation and the combination of runes.

All he has to do now is to fine-tune the data for Celine's mother.

Not long,

After many calculations, Maca poured a whole bottle of mercury-like liquid with a bright metallic color in the center of the hall.After that, the liquid spread quickly, and quickly spread throughout the hall.

Suddenly, the floor of the hall was completely covered by this liquid, as if the entire ground had become a huge mirror.

After pouring the liquid, Maca immediately ran to the wall-he had to run away while the liquid had not solidified, so as not to leave footprints and affect the formation of the formation for a while.

After that, he began to dispense the ink needed to draw the pattern.

Time is passing bit by bit...

After entering the state, Maca is highly concentrated, and habitually ignores the passage of time completely.It was not until he had prepared the ink and finished drawing the entire pattern. Only then did he find that there were several plates of cold food on the steps of the stairs.

Maca subconsciously looked up at the corridor on the second floor, only to see Celine lying on the carved wooden handrail, silently looking at the mirror-like floor of the hall.

And on that floor, a purple-black rune pattern that seemed to have no pattern at all, occasionally revealed a mysterious blue fluorescence.

"Bring your mother down, it's ready here." Maca called to her.

Celine recovered and agreed, then turned around and walked quickly to the bedroom.

Ten minutes later...

"No matter what happens, don't be too nervous, I know in my heart. If something accident happens, I'm always ready to stop checking..."

Maca carefully told Celine to ensure that she would not suddenly rush up after the formation was opened for a while.

At this time, Celine's mother was lying flat at a certain node on the array. On the mirror surface around her, complicated purple-black lines and various strange symbols were connected to each other, which seemed to be holding each other. A mysterious magic ritual.

"...Okay, just stand behind and watch, I'm about to start."

Having said that, Maca took a step forward, and his left and right feet respectively stepped on the only gap in the entire formation-he still has not solved the problem of the magic source of the formation. As a last resort, this role of supplying magic can only He took it personally.

The moment when Maca’s other foot stepped on it, those symbols and lines seemed to be alive, twisted, trembling and floating, bursting out with a mysterious blue light, illuminating the entire hall. brightly lit.

Especially under the effect of the mirrored floor, the light appeared extraordinarily bright, with runes and magic lines floating up and down, looking wonderful.

But in the next moment, in the mirror under Celine's mother, a black mist was slowly forming...

Because the current formation has been improved many times by Maca, the input of magic power is not as fast and large as the first time, so the formation of the skull becomes much slower.

Celine's mother is old after all, and the soul is very likely to be damaged. After the impact, the soul will completely rush out of the body.

At that time, it will be difficult to plug it back in again.

After a while, a skull composed of black mist finally formed in the mirror. It slowly opened its jaw and let out a faint growl.

Celine clenched her fists tightly behind her, staring at this mysterious and frightening scene without blinking, and resisted not letting herself make a sound.

The skull was formed directly below her mother, and the hollow mouth was directly facing her mother, as if to swallow her.

Celine will probably never forget this scene.

In the silent shout of the skull, a humanoid figure floated out of Celine's mother.

No, to be precise, a "half" human figure.

"...Has been mutilated." Maca frowned, staring at the phantom.

But after careful observation, he immediately discovered something was wrong-the phantom was incomplete, yes, but at some of the fractures, you could faintly see strands of black smoke entangled, those things seemed...

"Swallow the soul?" Maca said to herself, "...what is that?"

Those black smoke can be attached to the soul, obviously not ordinary things, after he thought about it, he took a step back for the time being, and released the operation of the formation.

Immediately, the light gradually dimmed, the skull head disappeared without a trace, and the mutilated soul of Celine's mother returned to the body.

"Celine," said Maca, "tell you and your mother's experience in the United States at that time, the more detailed the better! Especially some special places or some weird objects."

Celine hadn't recovered from the shock at this moment. He heard Maca speak at this moment, and had no time to react.

"Celine?"

"Oh, sorry—" She was shocked and turned to look at Maca blankly. "What did you say?"

...

On the other side, Hogwarts Castle, in the Gryffindor common room.

"Ron, don't worry, Shaban must have gone there to play suddenly, and he will appear by himself soon..."

Harry was comforting his friend, and Hermione was not here for now.

"It's sleepy all day, where can it go!" Ron didn't believe it at all. He had been worried about whether Crookshanks were chasing Zebra again—even had eaten Zebra!

"It's okay. At least these days, Hermione always held Crookshanks. It didn't have a chance to run out and find the spots." The comfort just now was not unsuccessful, but Harry was not discouraged. This time he chose to take the second place. .

"Maybe there are other cats?" Ron couldn't help but said, "It's like...like...like Mrs. Loris!"

"Filch's cat doesn't like to catch mice." Harry said immediately. "It just likes to look for students who violate disciplines everywhere, and then report to its owner!"

"But...but..." Ron fidgeted nervously.

"Stop it!" Harry persuaded, "Or, let's look for it again! Corridors, other dormitories, or some other places, okay?"

"You're right, we should look for it again..." Ron stood up abruptly, and ran up the stairs as he said, "Oh-poor Shaban!"

Harry looked at Ron's back and shrugged helplessly. "He looks like Hagrid now!"
