Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Chapter 281 Harry's Shadow

"Ron and Hermione will explain everything to you clearly, dear, I really have to go quickly," Mrs. Weasley whispered distractedly, "Here..."

They came to the second platform of the stairs.

"The second door on the right hand side, I will call you when the meeting is over."

After speaking, she hurriedly went downstairs again.

Harry walked across the bright and clean landing, placed his hand on the snake-head-shaped bedroom door handle, and was about to turn the handle to open the door.

"Click"

Harry was taken aback when he heard the sound. It was undoubtedly the sound of a door opening, but he hadn't turned the doorknob yet?

No, the sound came from the left.

Harry turned his head subconsciously to take a look, only to see that a door was closed again with a click.A second before the door was closed, he seemed to see a familiar figure.

"what!"

Although the white-washed T-shirt and jeans, and the long hair with a shawl weren't tied up this time, looking at the rich and pure black, it was very familiar at this moment.

It was the cowardly woman who came to him to ask for directions before!

"Why is she here?" Harry murmured suspiciously.

Although he wants to know the reason very much now, and even feels itchy in his heart, this is pure curiosity, but it doesn't seem to be a good time to ask rashly.

Since the other party is here now, it seems that he has stayed, so I should find a chance to ask if there is no problem.

Thinking of this, Harry shook his head and opened the bedroom door in front of him.

He had only time to glance at the room illuminated by magic lights, the high ceiling, and the two single beds side by side.

In the next instant, Harry heard a harsh squeak, instead of a sharper scream, and then a lot of shaggy, messy hair appeared in his sight.

Hermione dashed up to him and frightened him a few steps back, and Ron's little owl piglet was flying excitedly above them.

"Harry! Ron, he's here, Harry is here! We didn't hear you coming in!"

"Oh, how are you? Are you all right? Are you angry with us? You must be angry... I know our letters are useless nonsense..."

"But ah! But! We can't tell you anything, they want us to swear not to say anything... Oh! We have so many things to tell you, and you have so many things to tell us."

"Dementor! We heard about it! You met a dementor on the street... that was terrible, but fortunately Maca sent Kingsley to protect you secretly... Oh... and today, they accept The news says there is another dementor..."

"Let him take a breath, Hermione," Ron said, smiling and closing the door behind Harry.

Ron seems to have been moving very fast recently, and during the time they were separated, he seemed to have grown a few inches taller, which made him appear slender and awkward than before.

But the long nose, the fiery red hair, and the freckles on that face are still exactly the same as before.

Although Hermione was interrupted by Ron, her face was still full of joy.

But before she could say anything, she heard a faint whirr, and a white object flew over from the top of the black closet and landed on Harry's shoulder lightly.

"Hedwig!"

Harry stroked the feathers of the snow-white owl, its mouth made a clicking sound, and lightly pecked Harry's ear lovingly.

"It has been irritable," Ron said. "It almost pecked us half to death when it brought you the last two letters. Look at this."

He raised the index finger of his right hand and showed Harry that there was a wound that was about to heal but was obviously deep.

"Oh," Harry said ashamed, "I'm so sorry, but I want an answer, you know"

To be honest, his mood is actually much better now.

If it were placed a few days ago,

Because even Maca tried to speak for him, but after encountering the five dementors before, he once again understood his lack of strength.

Maca can cast magic outside without hesitation, that's because he has enough abilities that he can even release the patron saint without a wand.

This gap is no longer enough to make Harry unwilling. Apart from being motivated, there are no other unnecessary feelings.

But in fact, compared to Harry's awakening, Hermione and Ron have been stimulated more recently.

You know, now in this Order of the Phoenix, Maca is the only commander!And what is his ability to make so many adult wizards act?

He relied on not only magical strength, but also his wisdom and leadership.

In recent days, most of Maca's command operations did not hide Hermione and Ron, and in such a tense task arrangement, he even had room to explain part of the purpose of the mission to Hermione and Ron.

Not to mention Ron, at least in the process, Hermione did gain a lot.

However, there was one thing that made Hermione very dissatisfied that she had plucked up the courage to come to a declaration of love last time, but Maca decisively refused it at the second meeting.

Although she refused very simply, it made her very depressed!But she thought about it carefully, if Maca didn't say anything, she would be more irritated, right?

Of course, do you want this lady to retire?I am Hermione Jane Granger, not a girl who would shrink so easily!

"Hermione...Hermione?"

"what?"

She suddenly recovered, but found that Harry was staring at her worriedly!

"Oh, I'm okay! It's okay," Hermione said awkwardly. "Where did you go?"

Of course, she would not tell Ron about the matter that she took the initiative to confess to Maca strongly. Even if this matter was actually instigated by Ron, she was still a bit shy to tell her.

At this moment, Ron didn't care much. He took Harry's words just now and went on.

"...Actually, we want to give you an answer too, buddy," Ron said. "Hermione was so worried...she kept saying, if you stay stuck there and don't get any news, you must Something silly will be done. But they force us..."

"Swear not to tell me," Harry shrugged. "Yeah, Hermione already said it."

After all, being excluded by himself, it was still a bit unhappy.

There was a slightly dull silence, and Harry stroked Hedwig lightly, sinking slightly into thought.

"They seem to think it's the best way to do this," Hermione seemed unhappy seeing her good friend, and couldn't help explaining again, "I mean Ron's parents."

Ron also nodded helplessly. To be honest, he was a little doubtful who was the Weasley's child. The Weasleys seemed to be overprotecting Harry.

"Yeah..." Harry noticed that Hermione's hand also had the scar that was pecked by Hedwig, and another apologetic came into his heart, "Forget it! It's okay, I was just a little..."

But while he was talking, he was suddenly taken aback, frowning as if thinking of something.

"Wait!" Harry said suddenly, "Hermione, did you just say... Maca sent someone to protect me secretly?"

"Yes! His name is Kingsley, a dark-skinned Auror, I heard that he is still an elite!" Hermione nodded and said, "In the beginning, Sirius wanted to arrange another person to go, but Maca The candidate was replaced by him."

"No wonder that day..."

Harry immediately recalled the first encounter with the Dementor.

Although the dementor didn't really appear that night, he actually noticed a familiar warmth that must be the patron saint spell cast by Kingsley!

"So, why do they keep me in the dark?" Harry shook off the dissatisfaction of being stalked, and said in a puzzled manner, "You...hmm...have you asked them?"

As soon as he looked up, he caught a glimpse of the two of them exchanging eyes, which seemed a little unspeakable, but this made him even more puzzled.

Finally, they nodded, and then Hermione spoke up.

"It was the decision made by Maca, he..." Hermione hesitated, "He said,'Harry is not in good shape right now. He needs to get rid of the shadow of the top three first, otherwise he is not suitable to participate.'"

"...Shadows in the top three..."

Harry immediately understood what Maca meant.

Yes, he understands!And unfortunately, he has not been able to get out of it so far.

In the incident that caused Luna to be seriously injured, Harry always condemned himself deeply in his heart that he couldn't help but do it!

If the Gryffindor sword was inserted on the floor in front of him now, he would even immediately escape from this bedroom without hesitation.

The Gryffindor sword can't be picked up by someone casually, and he can clearly use it to slay a fire dragon, but now he doesn't even have the courage to take a look.

A Gryffindor who has lost courage, or is it Gryffindor?

"Maca is right..." Harry couldn't help but drooping down. "I'm not as smart as Hermione, you can only rely on magic and the Gryffindor sword if you want to use it... But now..."

"Don't say that," Ron scratched his head.With a complex face, "At least you are better than me...I am the one who should work hardest..."

"No!" Harry blinked, thinking carefully before saying, "You are much better at chess than me!"

"Hey! Don't comfort me!" Ron covered his face and sighed. "What's the matter with a great chess game? Can I still kill the mysterious man with a chess piece!"
