Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

() Kingsley's blood test results came out soon.

Any potion taken internally will have the phenomenon of drug precipitation. This is because potions generally cannot be completely absorbed by the body.

That part of the residue is usually filtered by the body within a period of time, and then slowly discharged from the body.Just because you have to wait for that part of the residue to dissipate automatically with the magic contained in it, the discharge time is not short.

But, how should I put it...

"...The cause of Kingsley's symptoms can already be determined to be some kind of potion. But the specific potion is not clear by blood test alone..."

In the reception room, Maca and other members of the Order of the Phoenix are having a meeting.The content of the meeting is of course about Kingsley and the series of cases.

It's just that there are not so many things to say at the moment. When Maca finished talking about Kingsley's inspection, the atmosphere became a little dull again.

"Ah... By the way, I haven't seen Lena since just now. Where did she go?" Mrs. Weasley's sudden opening broke the rigid atmosphere.

"Oh, I asked her to find Sirius. She should be back soon." Maca raised his head from the pile of documents and shrugged.

"That guy always thinks about messing up when he's anxious." Lupin sighed, holding his forehead.

"In fact, it's okay to be impulsive. In this case, it's not that I can't understand his mood..." Maca blinked and said, "Without the momentum of Sirius, the Order of the Phoenix would not be like it is now. Efficient—I’m very fortunate that I handed him the report documents and plan documents to send and receive, and it was indeed a correct decision."

The fact is also true. Maca, Lupin and Kingsley only made general plans for the task, and the specific repairs were all handled by Sirius, who "has been stuck in the old house of Black".

I have to say that although Sirius is a bit impulsive, his actual ability is very strong, and he is not "not good at using his brain" as he said when he evaluated himself.

"So, don't worry about Sirius for the time being. He can escape from Azkaban and still get in and out of Hogwarts. It shouldn't happen for a while. Being...huh?"

Maca said as he said, he whispered, and then turned over the report in his hand again.

"What's wrong? Did you find anything?" Lupin looked at him.

"Hmm...maybe I really found something..." Maca lined up a few pieces of information paper on the desktop, and then typed a few words on them. "It seems that Kingsley's investigation It's not completely futile-he seems to have touched some hidden clues."

"What clue?" Tonks was immediately shocked.

"These so-called'crazy wizards' are not unrelated...between them, there is an unobtrusive but reasonable common ground!" Maca pointed to the documents, "their home Kingsley found some contraband."

"Prohibited items?" Lupin walked around the long table to Maca's side, looking down at the paper.

"Yes," Maca clicked the paper on the table one by one, "Wind snake gall, ancient jaw flower species, cursed necklace, melted blood powder... These things are all within the scope of the Ministry of Magic's prohibition on trading. "

"You mean... a dark wizard came into contact with them and sold them the potion that caused the disease?" Lupin subconsciously speculated.

"It's not impossible what you said, but... No matter where they bought it from,'Source' will never run away." Maca picked up the quill and circled one of the words, "The key it is this'!"

"Melted blood powder?" Lu Ping said in a puzzled way, "Speaking of which...what is melted blood powder?"

"A semi-finished catalyst used in potions is very toxic..." Maca threw the quill into the ink bottle and explained, "Of course, the point is not its efficacy, but...this The gadget was actually invented by me, and...only sold on the black market!"

...

At ten o'clock that night, both Maca and Tonks changed their appearances and dresses, and walked together in the dim black market.

Maca “increased” herself a little bit, with a mask that had been subjected to transformation techniques on her face, and she was also wearing a large old wizard robe.On top of his head, a wide-brimmed pointed hat concealed his entire head in the shadows.

And beside him, Tonks used Yirong Magnus to transform and easily dressed himself as a slightly thin male wizard.

"Is this the long-rumored black market?" Tonks looked around and looked around, "Wow! It really has everything... Is this a fire dragon egg? A big basket!"

"Don't look around, watch the way!"

Maca pulled Tonks aside, only to be close to hitting the lamppost of the street lamp.

After leaving the black market last time, Maca came here alone and negotiated consignment agreements with several shops.

To be honest, let's not talk about Maca's accomplishments in serious potions, at least some of the "wrong ways" he smashed out have always been very popular.

"Here, follow up..." As he said, he walked to a small alley beside the main road, "The road here is very winding and it is easy to get lost."

"Where are we going?" Tonks asked casually after taking two quick steps.

"Anyway, first ask someone you know about the news. In such a place, there is always no shortage of gossip."

The two kept moving forward in a dark and damp alley. After a while, Tonks was almost stunned.

"here."

Maca stood at the back door of a house and greeted Tonks who was a little dizzy. Then he opened the door with his magic wand without knocking.

Tonks saw Maca rushing in without hesitation, and carefully followed behind him.

As soon as she entered the door, she found that the environment here was very depressing.When she looked around, she realized that the source of depression not only came from darkness and crowding, but most importantly, the roof here was too low.

It can be seen that this is a small warehouse because there are shelves all around.The shelves are densely covered with dust, as if you can wipe them off with a single wipe.

Most of the bottles and cans on the shelves are also covered by dust, and even the labels on the top can't be seen clearly.

Every step the two of them took, there would be a soft noise on the loose wooden floor.In this quiet warehouse, the sound of "ta-ta-ta" footsteps is so clear that people can't help but want to relax.

"Don't be nervous, there is no danger here, it's just an unused warehouse."

Maca didn't look back, but his calm words always made people feel at ease.

"Ah...hmm."

Tonks knew that Maca was impossible to see, but he nodded subconsciously.

"Oh, by the way," Maca paused suddenly, "Let's release Yi Rong Magnus first, and the people we want to see don't need to hide their identities for a while.

The two walked for a while, turned a few turns between the shelves, and quickly came to another closed wooden door.

Seeing Maca stab it away with a magic wand again, she didn't feel polite at all, which made Tonks's doubts even worse.

"This guy... why is it the same as in my own home?" She couldn't help slandering to herself.

As the door creaked open in front of him, a warm orange light spread from the door, sweeping away the tension in Tonks' heart.

Don't look at Tonks's general appearance, but she is actually a big girl who is easily nervous.When a rookie Auror performed missions at the Ministry of Magic, not only did she often think about things, but she also always had some unnecessary worries about the mission environment.

Only at certain critical moments, this big girl has an unusually strong side.

When the two of them stepped out of the warehouse one after another, Tonks, who followed behind, habitually observed the surrounding situation.

This is obviously a shop, and it seems that the space is not small.

There are two rows of merchandise racks closely arranged on both sides of the store, with large and small potion bottles neatly arranged on the top, and detailed effect explanations are also erected next to them.

And in the center of the shop, all kinds of baskets, sacks, boxes are piled up, and inside are all different kinds of magic materials.

Near them was a long strip of cash register, and they came out from the door behind the cash register.

"Hey! Christine!" Maca yelled at the short-haired witch who was lying on the cash register, writing and drawing.

Hearing the sound, the other party suddenly turned his head, revealing a refreshing smile.

"Huh? Christine?" Tonks was obviously taken aback. "You... why are you here?"

"Oh! Isn't this Tonks?"

In Tonks's astonished eyes, the short-haired witch, who was mostly neatly dressed, walked up to her and gave her a big hug immediately.

"Long time no see, Tonks!" Christine said happily.

"This...Is this the store you opened?" Tonks looked around the store again, asking in surprise.

"Yes! I drove it together with Charles." Christine said, and whispered, "Charles and I have decided to get married. You must come to the wedding party then!"

"Oh-this is-really unexpected." Tonks widened his eyes.

The witch named "Christine" in front of her, and the "Charles" in her mouth, are the two seniors who were chasers when Maca first joined the Hufflepuff Quidditch team.

In that provisional selection, Maca and the two of them completed a "trident attack formation" without rehearsal...Well, that can only be regarded as "almost" completed.

As for Tonks, as a "real school sister" who also came from Hufflepuff, she heard that the school girl is about to get married at this moment, her glass heart...

The ground broke with a sound of "wow".
