Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Because they had made an appointment to meet with Hermione, Maca and Hagrid did not stay at Glop for long. Soon they said goodbye to Glop and headed to the hunting lodge.

Of course, whether Glop could understand the meaning of goodbye is not known.

On the way back, Maca found that Hagrid had less words.

Perhaps Dumbledore's death was a big blow to him. Only by the side of his unconscious brother can he temporarily relieve his sadness and devote himself to taking care of Glope, right?

"Hagrid," Maca comforted him, "We shouldn't be sorry for Dumbledore's death. In fact, he is just a step further on the path of magic."

"Yes, I understand..." Hagrid said sullenly. "As Dumbledore has been saying, he must have gone on'another great adventure'..."

"Yes, that's it." Maca patted his sturdy arm vigorously. "I've seen him, and he's doing well...but he's still the same, he doesn't know what to say, he always likes to muzzle!"

"Have you seen him?" Hagrid suddenly turned his head, his eyes widened.

"Yeah," Maca nodded, "If you have to say...it seems like in a dream!"

The two chatted casually and went back to the cabin like a walk.On the way, Hagrid summoned Yaya, who was patrolling the edge of the forbidden forest, and brought them back to the hunting lodge.

Because of the delay in Glop's place before, Hagrid had just made some water with a copper kettle and boiled it on the iron shelf of the Maca-lit fireplace. There was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the door.

It seemed that Hermione and the others had already rushed over.

"Hagrid, have you told them about Glop?" Maca just asked casually, and three knocks at the door followed.

Yaya, who was lying behind the door, immediately barked.

"Oh! No, of course not! You shouldn't tell them about this, you know—" Hagrid waved his hand quickly, then turned his head and shouted, "Come on! I'll open the door for you!"

"Ya, get out-go under the table!"

"Maca, are you here first?"

As soon as Hagrid opened the door, Hermione's head poked in. As soon as she saw Maca, she waved to this side happily.

"It's not long before, you see-the kettle has just been put on!" Maca smiled and said, "Come in! The weather is getting colder and colder recently...Oh, Luna?"

Just as Hermione had just got into the cabin, Luna followed her in, and of course Harry and Ron had been with Hermione.

"Maca!"

After Luna saw him, she immediately walked to him and stretched out her white hand to pat him.

"What's wrong?" Maca asked her slightly curiously, letting her pat on her body.

"In the magic text class today, Maca didn't look very energetic." Luna said in a daze, "Is there no injury? What's wrong?"

"Oh..." Maca blinked, then shook his head, "It's okay, I'm fine."

Luna seemed relieved, she nodded lightly, and her long light blonde hair slipped in front of her with her movements, and she was smoothly pulled behind her ears.

"Maca," she pointed to Hermione somewhat solemnly, "my friend."

Maca looked at Hermione who was a little confused, then looked at Luna with a serious face, and then gave a gentle smile.But just when he wanted to say something, Hermione spoke up.

"...Friend?" she said blankly.

Luna was stunned, then looked at Hermione in a daze, and asked softly, "Isn't it?"

"Ah, oh—of course, of course it is!" Hermione nodded immediately and smiled. "Of course we are already friends! We have always been!"

"Yeah," Luna's eyes flashed with dim satisfaction, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised. "Always."

Was talking,

The joy in her heart is almost obvious.

"Okay, don't stand-sit down!"

Hagrid greeted everyone to find a place to sit, and he put some firewood in the fireplace, and then he pulled a blanket of animal skins and spread it on the ground, and sat down against the fireplace.

"Hagrid, shouldn't your hut be expanded? As there are more people, it feels crowded..." Maca looked around, "Anyway, there are so many open spaces around, and the materials are available. "

"Forget it..." Hagrid thought for a while, "I usually don't come here on weekdays, it seems that it's unnecessary."

"Aren't you going to get married or something?" Maca shrugged.

"Marriage?" Hagrid seemed to be frightened, and raised his voice immediately, "No, no, no, how could... Look at me like this, which woman can look good?"

"Hagrid, I think Maca is right. You should find a wife too!" Ron roared happily. "The house needs to be bigger and more beautiful so that it will be easier to get a wife. ——"

"Nonsense!" Hermione retorted immediately, "Girls pay more attention to character, but not a house can solve problems!"

"Oh, I mean really..."

"What do you guys know! Of course I know more about this kind of thing!" Hermione got up with a temper, and she immediately folded her waist, almost poking her fingers on Ron's nose.

Ron hurriedly stretched out his hands and raised them above his head in a gesture of surrender, but his mouth didn't stop.

"This is not what I said, but my mother said--" he whispered. "She often told Ginny that she should have a big house to live a good life, and it is best to marry a good man who is hardworking and motivated. "

"...She always trains her father about this matter, saying that he always doesn't work properly and doesn't make good money, so the family has always been so poor."

Harry scratched his scalp helplessly while watching the daily quarrel between the two of them. Luna, who was sitting next to Maca, looked very interested, listening to their quarrel with relish.

"That's because your family has too many children!" Maca smiled, "Besides, don't look at your mother saying that, in fact, she loves your father very much..."

Speaking of this, it seemed that they felt that they would not be able to get back the topic if this continued, which prevented them from continuing to argue.

"Okay, I'm wrong, it's a bit far away..." He paused, "Hermione, let's talk! What did you call me here today to tell me?"

"Oh, yes! I almost forgot..." Hermione said suddenly, "Maca, we discussed it and thought it wouldn't work to go on like this..."

"What's not working?" Maca asked.

"Defense against the Dark Arts class," Hermione said seriously, "we didn't learn anything in that woman's class, but things are not good now...you know what I mean."

"We have been studying hard all this time, but this is definitely not enough! And it's not just us, but other students at Hogwarts are also facing danger. We don't want to wait for you when we are in danger. Come to the rescue with the professors."

"and so……"

"So?" Maca probably understood what Hermione wanted to say.

"So we want to gather some classmates who are willing to come with us to learn the real'Defense Against the Dark Arts' together!" Harry stood up suddenly, with a trace of determination in his eyes, "We want to invite you to come. Be the teacher!"

As far as Harry is concerned, it is actually commendable that he can take the initiative to say this sentence.

After he became afraid of Gryffindor's sword, he has always lacked confidence in himself.The courage that belonged to him has been firmly pressed in the bottom of my heart in that accident.

When Voldemort was no longer obsessed with prophecy and at the same time he was no longer obsessed with Harry, Harry, who had learned Occlumency, has not encountered any trouble for a long time.

In this school year, in addition to an attack by a dementor before the beginning of school, a lot of important things seemed to have happened after that.But Harry discovered that almost everything had nothing to do with him.

But in this relatively easy and trouble-free situation, he decided to stand up and do his best for Hogwarts and everyone.

It is conceivable that he must have gone through a lot of painful struggle in his heart.

"……is it?"

Maca subconsciously glanced at Luna next to him, then stared into Harry's eyes again with a moment of silence.

"Maca?" Hermione called him.

If Maca had never thought about this, of course it was impossible.Before that, he had considered it many times.

Whether it was for Luna, or for Harry, or for Hermione and Ron, it was unwise to decide whether to involve them in a dispute.

Not to mention Luna, it's only Harry, now it's no longer necessary to let him in.As Harry's best friends, Hermione and Ron naturally had no reason to plunge into the darkness.

They can become stronger and have more self-protection capabilities, which is obviously a better thing.But this does not mean that they are really required to join the queue to deal with Voldemort.

But, does Maca McLean really have the right to make decisions for others?

At this moment, Maca thought of the kind old wizard-Dumbledore.

When Maca showed amazing aptitude in his eyes, needless to say, he was the best candidate to deal with Voldemort in anyone's eyes.

But Dumbledore never made any restrictions on Maca.He didn't use Maca's relationship with other people to guide him to make any decision-this is what he is best at.

Even in the end, in the space on the edge of death, the old man only told him something related to magic.

"...Speaking of which, he finally regained his own path because he broke free from the shackles that others gave him?"
