Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

"Luna, are you also involved in protecting Hogwarts?" Maca looked straight into Luna's eyes, as if trying to find the real answer.

But Luna shook her head slightly.

"It's not protecting Hogwarts," she smiled slightly, "it was protecting'friends'."

"is it?"

"Yeah..." She stretched out her hand, breaking her fingers, "Hermione, Harry, Ron, Hagrid, Yaya, Hanna..."

Luna tilted her head, counting one by one, without any intention of stopping.Maca looked at her innocent smile and sighed secretly.

"...You have so many friends!" Maca shrugged, "Okay! No need to count, I see-Harry, Hermione, Ron, you go first to gather classmates who are willing to join. Find out what everyone really thinks. This matter is not urgent, we have to do it step by step!"

He paused, then looked at Harry and said: "Also, Harry, you have to be fully psychologically prepared. Perhaps, soon you will face'it' again."

Harry froze for a moment, a gloom flashed in his heart, but the next moment he clenched his hands and nodded resolutely.

"I see." He said sonorously.

"Hey! I said, do you just treat me as if I don't exist?" Hagrid said angrily, "This is not good, you are only so big... This is too dangerous!"

"Relax, if the strength does not meet my requirements, I won't let them really participate." After Maca said to Hagrid, he turned his head to confirm to everyone, "That's it...understand? "

"Of course! If I can't help you, cough..." Hermione coughed dryly, and then said, "I mean, if we can't become the enemy's combat power, we will not be willing to run out to be a burden. !"

"Yes, I think so too!" Harry agreed, "I don't want to have the same accident as that... I don't want it at all!"

"Ron, how about you?" Maca asked Ron who was sitting on the barrel in silence.

"I..." Ron said unnaturally, "Can I really... do it?"

"Do you think you can't do it?" Hermione looked at him dissatisfied.

"I--"

Ron's words seemed to be stuck in the monkey's head, showing a hesitant expression.

"Just say what you want!" Maca smiled, "We are all friends and won't laugh at you."

"Yeah! Ron..." Harry said dullly, "What's wrong with you?"

Ron held back for a long time before letting out a long breath.

"Maca, you taught me how to think from the perspective of others, and I also understand a lot of problems that I have overlooked before... and even because of this, I can look at myself from another angle..."

"However, no matter how I look at it, I can't see the future that I can truly achieve. I really...really feel that I...cannot do it..."

Maca looked at Ron who was dejected and couldn't help but applaud.

If it had been Ron before, he couldn't say anything in this situation.He is a person who has a lot of things in his heart. Although he is ordinary, he is not willing to give up.

It is because of the lack of talent that he and others have made the same efforts, but the results obtained will be very different.This kind of gap will make people desperate, make people give up, and then live a life without highlights in mediocrity.

If it is more extreme, this kind of despair can even become an inducement for jealousy and revenge.

But at the moment Ron, although he put on a frustrated and helpless expression, he was able to speak out his inability, which was indeed quite a difficult thing.

Sometimes, admitting one's own weakness is not necessarily another kind of strength.

Just like Maca, I am afraid that no wizard in the modern age can ignore his power.But facing the vast magical mystery, facing the mysterious and unknown future, he still felt infinitely small.

Only by recognizing one's own weakness, can he proceed down-to-earth, and will not gradually lose his way under the temptations on the way.

"...As long as you put enough effort into your advancement, at least you won't regret not doing anything, will you?" Maca smiled and nodded at Ron, "We will all help, I think ...You may not be able to do everything well, but you have not found what you are good at!"

He paused, then spread out his hand and said, "Didn't you say that you have learned to think about problems from a different angle? Why don't you think about it from another angle—"

"If you haven't found it now, wouldn't it be equivalent to-do you have unlimited possibilities in the future?"

...

Daoli Maca can say a lot of it casually, which may be encouraged by others, but the facts need to be changed with real actions.

After talking in Hagrid's cabin, things were almost a decision.

Hermione and others shouldered the task of convening classmates. This kind of thing is not difficult, but it takes a lot of thought for the restless classmates to know their will.

So after Ron thanked everyone gratefully, the little wizards with missions quickly left.

"Hagrid, then I should go back too-a lot of research hasn't been completed yet, and this is not the time to be lazy!" Maca also stood up and said goodbye to Hagrid, "By the way, you are over with Gropp Stare more, and try not to make any big noises during the recent period."

"Well, I know, I will be careful!"

Maca waved his hand, then pushed open the creaking wooden door and walked out of Hagrid's cabin.

"Luna, why don't you go with them?" He knew that Luna was still at the door, so he asked as soon as he came out, "It's dinner time soon, aren't you hungry?"

"I want to talk to you..."

Luna stood by the steps outside the house, looking at the remaining afterglow to the west, her eyes seemed to become much clearer.

"It's necessary to rest. You have been very busy lately."

Maca smiled slightly and said, "Yes! It's really busy..."

"I still remember, you always like to stay in bed... In order to wake you up, I have tried many methods!" Luna said leisurely.

"...The most useful is the puff pastel," Maca added with a wry smile, "Of course, it's better not to use that method."

"Puffede is cute and very close to people," Luna blinked her big bright eyes, and when she talked about magical creatures, she seemed a little excited, "They are weird and funny."

The two stood side by side in front of the cabin, chatting casually on topics that didn't make much sense, looking at the sky in the distance.Indulging in this kind of leisure, none of them took the lead.

After chatting aimlessly for a while, both Maca and Luna closed their mouths tacitly and quietly enjoyed the long-lost peace.

After a short while, Luna took the initiative to break the gentle silence.

"Maca, what are you going for?"

Hearing Luna asking such a vague question, Maca fell into deep thought.

Yes!What has he been advancing for all the time?

Is it for a certain person like Snape?Or for everyone like Dumbledore?Or... he was simply being pushed away by established facts?

If it were to use Dumbledore’s words, it would be—what is the "love" he cherished, persisted, and guarded?

Even Ron understands the importance of examining himself, but Tamarca has been trying to avoid it.He is just a coward, and he is afraid that in the process of finding the answer, he will draw a conclusion that scares him.

Perhaps he had already vaguely seen that conclusion, but he just didn't want to confirm it.

"...What is... for?" Macalho muttered to himself in a daze.

Luna did not continue to ask, she just looked at Maca's side face surprisingly and gently, and took the initiative to hold Maca's slightly cold hand.

"You will protect me, will you?"

Maca's heart suddenly shook, he turned his head, and suddenly ran into Luna's soft and delicate eyes.In that sight, he felt a warmth full of tolerance.

"……of course."

When he received the admission letter from Hogwarts, he had an illusory goal called "Magic".That was the reason why he ignited the heart of struggle, but it was not enough to be the reason for him to face all obstacles.

As Luna just said, he was originally a lazy and casual person. If there is nothing to push him, he is likely to be content with the status quo.

However, since he caught a glimpse of the pale golden light in that cemetery, he has gained a momentum to move forward.

At the beginning, it was Luna who gave him a reason inadvertently; now, this girl with long pale blonde hair took the initiative to hand this reason into his hands again.

Maca knew very well that Luna didn't have any private thoughts when she held his hand.She just hoped very kindly, hoping that Maca would not get lost in her own way, nothing more.

But it is precisely because of her simple kindness that Maca, who is strong and calm in appearance, but timid in heart, can approach her with peace of mind.

"Then I can rest assured," Luna had another smile on her face, and her eyes were again in a trance. "I am responsible for protecting everyone, and Maca is responsible for protecting me... which sounds good."

"It's pretty good." Maca also smiled, "Let's go! It's time to go back for dinner-you are not hungry, I am hungry!"

Under the quietly lit sky, the two figures strolled along the path between the lawns, gradually melting into the shadow of the huge castle.

The night seemed to add a bit of inexplicable seclusion.
