Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

() "...Maca and Dumbledore told us by their actions that for Professor Umbridge, we don't have to be afraid of her, but we can't choose to confront him. The update is the fastest."

Hermione’s words came to Maca from Luna’s mouth.

To be honest, Maca recognized Hermione's keenness very much.If Hermione still chooses to enter the Ministry of Magic in the future to contribute to the reform of the magical world, at least she won't be unable to advance because of some situational judgments.

The current situation was just as Hermione had judged.

The battle between the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters continues, but because of Maca's repeated strategies, this struggle has long since turned to the dark.It was originally expanded by Voldemort to the offensive and defensive situation of the entire British magical world, but now it is finally confined to the "central area" of the Ministry of Magic.

The key is that Voldemort, who was repeatedly forced by Maca's campaign plan, not only lost people, but also lost his "power."He wants to dominate the British magic world, without these two things, it will definitely not work.

That's why he gave up the previous "national panic operation" and instead focused on the power center of the Ministry of Magic, trying to make a final decision from the perspective of rights.

Not to mention the disadvantages of doing this, at least the advantages are indispensable, after all, neither Maca nor Dumbledore can blatantly use a magic wand to smooth everything out.

"Luna, you don't need to care about these messy things, just study at ease and do what you like to do. When these troubles are over, I will go to Sweden with you to find the snoring beast! "

Maca sat behind the desk and gave her a relaxed smile.

Hearing what Maca said, although Luna looked a little moved, she did not nod immediately.

"...Maca...they seem to have a good relationship."

Looking at this girl who was in a trance all day and seemed to care about nothing, Maca really didn't want her to be involved in this dangerous dispute.

But what she said now made Maca startled.

Luna is a kind-hearted girl with a clear heart. Perhaps it is precisely because of her pure mind that she often insight into people's hearts inadvertently.

She must have noticed that Maca's protection for her is not a very secret thing, and this protection is out of Maca's care.

Luna could feel it, as if there was a kind of warmth surrounding her, making her feel very comfortable.

But it is precisely because of this protection that Maca almost ignored her true feelings: this girl who has been incompatible with others since childhood and has been on the verge of loneliness is actually the most eager for friendship.

She envied the innocent friendship between the little lions, but because of the warmth that Maca brought to her, she subconsciously did not want to violate Maca's wishes.

"...Let me think about it!"

Maca’s words sounded endless, but the communication between him and Luna has always been like this, which is not surprising.

Luna blinked her eyes lightly, not knowing whether she understood it or not, but there seemed to be an innocent smile on her face.

...

On Maca's side, he was quite comfortable as a professor, but on the Black House side, he received a somewhat unusual report.

"... Do you think this case is related to Voldemort?"

In the reception room of Black House, Lupin frowned slightly as he looked at the report in his hand.

"You have to ask, he must have not run away!" Sirius said impatiently.

Because he has been trapped in the house, he feels that the dog hair on his body is about to get moldy, but he also knows that he really can't run out casually, so he can only get sulking.

"Kingsley said that the key question is not whether it is related to Voldemort, but what kind of magic caused the symptoms of the wizard in the case." Tonks, who had just returned from the Ministry of Magic, said.

"Yes!" Lupin thought for a while, then shook his head, "It's very different from the "dark dead" mentioned by McLean, but there are some things in common that both are confused. ."

"It is said to be related to the soul, but I don't know if it is specific." Tonks said casually. Seeing everyone else looking to her, she immediately waved her hand again, "Don't look at me. , I also heard a few words from Maca."

Sirius smacked his tongue, then sighed heavily.

"Since we can't judge, let's contact McLean as soon as possible!" Lupin thought for a while again, and then made a decisive decision, "Molly, please give McLean a signal, please!"

"OK, all right."

Mrs. Weasley answered, then turned around and walked quickly upstairs.

"I am unconscious, in a daze for a long time, and then gradually fall into madness, and show an extremely strong attack... I hope this is just a case, otherwise..."

Following Lupin’s words, the members in the reception room couldn’t help showing solemnity...

Not long after, Maca received a letter from an unknown destination. Looking at the symbol in the middle of the blank letter paper, he knew that he had to go back tonight.

Although I don't know what happened, since he would be contacted, it means that the Order of the Phoenix must have encountered a problem.It just seems that this problem is not very urgent, otherwise the secret letter sent should be in a red envelope.

That night, Maca hurried back to the old house of Black.

"McLean, what do you think?"

In the sight of everyone inquiring, Maca just shook his head slightly.

"It seems that it should be some kind of influence on the soul. At this time, Voldemort is obviously incapable of getting rid of suspicion," he pondered for a while, then continued, "However, this kind of thing cannot be seen in the report. A specific situation...what about the victim? Where is it?"

"Uh... victim?" Tonks hesitated, "Are you talking about the crazy wizard, or the other two wizards killed by that crazy wizard?"

"Of course it's the crazy one..." Maca shrugged.

"It should still be locked in the dungeon of the Ministry of Magic!" Tonks said truthfully.

"Um..." Maca frowned when he heard the words, "Since you are in the dungeon, it means that you can't visit at will?"

"Yeah! Now this case is being watched by Scrimgeour's people. For the time being, only Kingsley has contact with the case report on our side." Tonks nodded helplessly.

"Then he is working overtime because of this now?"

"Kingsley? It's true that he is working overtime, but he is working overtime for the Order of the Phoenix, not for the Ministry of Magic," Tonks said, spreading his hand. "He can only be indirectly exposed to the case. Now he is going. The crime scene was investigated on the spot, hoping to find some reliable clues."

"is it?"

While speaking, Maca looked down at the report file in his hand, and then handed it to Lupin casually.

"I'll go to Kingsley first. If it doesn't work, I can only rely on you to find a way to get close to the mad wizard." He said, "The previous disturbances in the Department of Mysteries are too great, and I am not at the moment. It's suitable to go again."

"If there is nothing to gain, I won't come back. I can't walk away from Hogwarts for the time being. Then you will need to bother and pay attention to whether there are similar cases."

Having said that, he paused, and added: "If you find out before the Auror of the Ministry of Magic, find a way to bring the victim back, of course, the premise is to be safe!"

"Okay, I know what to do." Lupin nodded immediately.

As a result, Maca did not return to the Command of the Order of the Phoenix this night. Obviously, they did not find anything special at the scene of the crime.

However, in Kingsley's mouth, he obtained some newly collected information.

Regarding the inexplicably mad wizard, his symptoms continue to continue.Although occasionally there will be a little calmer period, but most of the time is still in a very unstable mental state.

The Ministry of Magic temporarily controlled it with magic, but the danger still exists.

It is worth mentioning that the "slightly calm" daze period is still continuously shortening, and the period of falling into madness has become longer and longer.

If this continues, sooner or later, the wizard will go completely mad, and will be exhausted and die after a long period of sleeplessness.

...

In the early hours of the next morning, in the girls' bedroom in the Gryffindor Tower.

The weather is gradually cooling off recently, everyone is wearing thin sweaters, and Hermione is no exception.

It's just that she got up from the bed early this morning.Probably because the temperature was especially low before dawn, she still wore a blanket on her body.

While the roommate was still asleep, Hermione was lying alone at the desk in the dormitory, tampering with something.

It seemed that for fear of disturbing the roommate's sleep, the oil lamp on the desk only emitted a faint light, which slightly pushed out the darkness before the sun rose.

As time went by bit by bit, a ray of sunrise finally revealed the crevices of the curtains.

A flat beam of light quietly landed on the blanket on Hermione's shoulders, and also by the desk, but Hermione, who was concentrating on the work on her hands, didn't notice it quickly.

When the darkness in the room was gradually dissipated by the rising sun, she finally turned her head back suddenly and squinted her eyes to the window.

Under the sunlight, the curtain was outlined with a circle of golden light.

Hermione couldn't help stretching her waist and yawning deeply. Then she recovered the square box on the desk, then stood up and gently opened the corner of the curtain.

"It's a nice weather today," she smiled vigorously like the sun on her face, "Well, do you want to go to Maca to discuss it today, anyway, it's almost done!"

While she was talking, she looked back at the box on the table again, and the smile on her face was a little smug.
