Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

() "Kristin, speaking of it... how did you and Charles want to open a shop in this place? It's... not safe, right?"

There are still a lot of customers in the store. Maca and Tonks have been there waiting for Charles to deliver the goods, and they have time to chat with Christine for a while.

"Oh! Tonks, let me tell you... In fact, the owner of this store is sitting next to you!" Christine waved his hand, with a refreshing smile on his face, looking right. It was the same at Hogwarts.

"Huh? Maca is the boss?"

Tonks didn't know how many times she was surprised. Since walking out of that door just now, she felt that she had been surprised by the unexpected accidents that followed.

"Yeah! Tonks, you should also know... You see, Charles and I don’t have a solid family base. Where can I afford a potion shop?" Kristen spread his hands and said, "Don’t look at this one. The store is not very big, you know, there is a lot of money in the black market! What's more, the purchase requires a lot of money..."

Christine was sitting behind the checkout counter and chattering, while Charles, who was soliciting customers in front, would steal caring gazes from her from time to time, and occasionally showed a hint of gratitude towards Maca.

Speaking of which, the two of them didn't actually spend much time with Maca.Even if they were all Hufflepuffs, and even had been in the Quidditch team, they didn't have much time to get in touch with Maca.

If you look back and think about it, you can find that Macata spends most of his time on studying and research, right?

However, at the original bonfire party to send off the graduates, when the two of them accidentally chatted with Maca about opening a store, they didn't expect Maca to really put it in their hearts.

This store is not just as simple as giving them a very rich future direction.

If you have to say, their poor couple can get to the point of getting married so quickly, the financial support this store brings them is indispensable.

In the hearts of these future couples who both came out of Hufflepuff College, Maca has truly realized the warm declaration of "We are all Hogwarts" at the bonfire party.

And this happy story of Christine and Charles, I am afraid it will also be one of the many fetters born in each year's farewell event.

Even though Maca has not continued to host that event now, his name, as the creator of the event, has been engraved on the banner of each farewell party.

"Many things, maybe the purpose behind it is not pure, even the process is full of dirt, but as long as the final result is good, what does it matter?"

Between the conversation, Maca watched the faint warmth in the shop with a smile, thinking so with emotion in her heart.

"...So, the situation on the black market is actually worse than outside?"

After the three chatted briefly, Maca obtained some valuable information from Christine.

The fact is indeed the case. If you want to know the news related to potions, it is undoubtedly a more appropriate way to directly ask the operators of the potions shop.

"Yes, as far as I know, there are already a dozen wizards in the black market suddenly going crazy..." Christine nodded and said, "But, I think you also know that crazy wizards are actually not a big deal. Because you can't use the spell!"

"...So, although there have been a few small disturbances, they were quickly resolved."

Maca nodded knowingly, and then asked: "I have found out the reason why the wizards go crazy before-it's mostly because they took some kind of potion. Do you have any clues here?"

"Well... at least the suppliers in our shop have no problems...ah!" Christine said, suddenly paused, as if recalling something.

"What's the matter? Do you think of anything suspicious?" Tonks couldn't help asking.

"...I remember... probably three or four days ago! A stupefied guy passed by in front of the shop and knocked over the sign I had erected outside..." Christine recalled, "At that time I thought it was probably drunk or something...you know, it's quite common."

She paused, and then emphatically said: "But now that I think about it, that state seems a lot like those crazy wizards when they are not going crazy."

"Is there anything wrong with that guy?"

"I see him swaying forward while whispering something in his mouth... um..." Kristen thought about it, and then she nodded her head. "Yes, he said'Goddess , My goddess, no one can touch'... well, maybe something similar..."

"'Goddess'?'No one can touch'?" Maca repeated these words, lost in doubt in thought.

"...Ah, I'm actually not sure, maybe it's just a drunk guy?" Kristen thought about it for a while, and finally shrugged in confusion.

"That's probably what I know... I don't know if I can help you..."

"No, although I don't understand it for a while, it's a good harvest to know this." Maca recovered, then smiled and waved his hand.

After that, the three continued to talk for a while, and Maca left with Tonks.

"Maca, I didn't expect you to be busy all the time, and you actually did such a good thing!"

On the side of the road, Tonks said casually while following Maca.

"Well, it's my classmate. If you can help, you can help...Anyway, it's a mutually beneficial thing. I just lack the manpower. I can't worry about finding someone else!" Maca laughed.

"Hey!" Tonks glanced at him and then smiled, "But seriously, we can get a clue so quickly, it seems we are lucky..."

"Yeah, I didn't expect it either." Maca nodded slightly. "Actually, I didn't intend to ask Christine anything-after all, they haven't been on the black market for long."

"Then what are you doing?" Tonks asked in surprise.

"Take you, senior-senior sister, to meet the younger brother and younger sister?" Maca said meaningfully, "How about it, did you get a face on the young couple?"

"Hey, I swore it-I won't get married until I become a real Auror!" Tonks raised his chin and looked proud.

"In short, we still need to find the most professional way to get information," Macka paused, "The place we are going next is our real destination tonight."

Later, Tonks followed Maca around again and again, and finally came to a sparsely populated old square.

In the center of this small square, there is a fountain pond that has long since dried up, and in that pond stands a statue of a wizard that has collapsed in half.

As for the stone-carved chairs around this small square, most of them can no longer sit on people.

But the most interesting thing about this old square is the weird trees all over the place.Those dry and pitch-black branches waved crunchingly without wind, almost covering the entire square.

What makes people feel even more uncomfortable is that those trees are making a lot of murmurs, which is a place that shouldn't be visited no matter what.

"It's really ominous..." Tonks hesitated. "Could it be that... we are going inside?"

"Yes, the entrance is in the pool of the fountain." Maca beckoned and said, "Come with me, don't care about the Siberian howling trees, they are just used to scare people."

"In your mouth, is the ghost howling just'scare people'?" Tonks pressed his shoulders, frowning and accentuating his tone, "How do I remember the book, ghost howling? Can wood absorb the soul of creatures?"

"Because the way to deal with Ghost Howling Wood is too simple, it can only be'scare people'." Maca shrugged and signaled that she was relieved to follow her.

However, when the two of them got closer to the weird tree waving with branches, the original whispering suddenly became louder and extremely harsh.

"Remember? The book says'Siberian howling woods love cold especially'." Maca pulled out his wand and waved it forward. "It's just that the author didn't go on to explain that they are in the cold. What will happen..."

Just as he waved his wand, a simple freezing spell fell on the ghost howling tree in front.Almost for an instant, the ghost howling tree howled happily, but the original dancing branches fell quietly.

"In fact, the author cannot be blamed, because the natural howling wood is concentrated in the north of Siberia, the area closest to the Arctic Ocean... The environment is originally very cold, how could the author know that when the howling wood was transplanted to warmth What will it look like when it’s in a place?"

"So...the reason why it was so harsh just now is actually because it's afraid of heat?" Tonks couldn't help grinning.

"You ask it to go!" Maca rolled his eyes and said, "I am not a ghost howling wood, how do I know what they mean by crying wolf howling?"

Under the Frozen Curse, the ghost howling trees they passed by dropped down those branches.As long as you don't touch the ghost howling trees, they are completely harmless plants.

Of course, it looks scary at best.

After a while, the two came to the fountain pond in the center of the square.

In fact, standing here can see that there is dirt everywhere under the dry pool, which looks extremely dirty.And the broken part of the wizard statue collapsed in the pool, and the broken stones almost scattered into the pool.

Maca pointed his wand at the head of the statue at the bottom of the pool and waved it lightly.

The next moment, the eyes of the head of the stone statue suddenly glowed with gray light.

"Member code,'Yinying 991'." He said softly.
