Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 400: The Straightforward Witch Reporter
() The long platinum hair is in the air without wind and automatically, as if weightless, fluttering with the light dance.The silky and delicate skin glowed like a moon under the slightly dim light, and every inch of it exuded a breath of seduction.
In this strange bar with soothing music, the petite and feminine woman attracted the attention of most of the guests, but she indifferently continued her introverted publicity.
That is a Veeva, wherever he goes is the focus.Even if it can be seen, she has already paid considerable attention to proportions in such a crowded small bar, but the inherent talent of that race still makes the atmosphere in this small space attractive.
Maca leaned against the corner of the bar deep in the bar, with one hand on his cheek, and the other lightly resting on the bar, playing with Jin Jialong, who would serve as a drink for a while.
This is a wizarding bar in New York City. Unlike London, wizards in the United States don't always gather on the entire wizarding street built specifically.
Perhaps it is the history of this land. Although the creation of the magical world in the United States has a ties that cannot be ignored with the United Kingdom, the races here are more abundant than those in the United Kingdom, and the ways of getting along between the various races also have some subtle characteristics.
Just sitting in the corner of the bar and watching this, Maca has a little bit of it.
The bartender in this bar is a house elf, but from the dialogue between him and the guests, it can be seen that although in essence there still seems to be more or less cautious in words and deeds, more of them are serving as waiters. The reserved and polite.
On the opposite side of the bar, between the small round tables similar to the three broomsticks in Hogsmeade, several humanoid races with different looks and witches were mixed together.Although it seems that there is still a long way to go from "harmony", even if it is possible to squeeze in a bar, laugh and scold the joys of life, it is worthy of Maca's nodding secretly.
To be honest, Maca really doubts that the guy with a few tufts of dark green hair entwined in a slippery cloth robe and covered in his head is a mermaid who climbed up from the bottom of the lake!
You know, that wet robe on her body is still dripping water!
Some records about mermaids can be found in the data, saying that they can indeed breathe above the water.But how long it can last to live on the shore without leaving the water world, Maca is completely unknown.
He sat quietly in the corner of the bar filled with secularity, his eyes drifting back and forth among the surrounding people, trying to find a suitable object for him to choose information.
At this moment, his cuffs shook slightly, and Xiao Ba, who was hidden in his sleeves, crawled along his arm to the fingertips, and his mouthparts clicked.
"Oh, do you want some snacks too?" Maca glanced at it, then turned her head and shouted into the bar, "Thank you, two pieces of bread, please."
"Okay, sir."
The house elf who was serving a certain wizard immediately bowed slightly to him.
Not long after, the croissant dotted with snow-white powdered sugar was placed on a plate and floated in front of Maca. He picked up one and gently tore it open and sprinkled some crumbs on the counter table.
Xiao Ba immediately jumped from the back of his hand and ate with relish.
"Oh! What an amazing little guy...Did you raise it?" Just when Maca put down the bread, someone took the initiative to come up, "...Mind if I sit next to you?"
"Of course not," Maca gestured to the other party with his glass, "please feel free."
"Well... what kind of breed is this little guy? I seem to have seen it somewhere, but I can't remember..." The other party spoke quickly and seemed quite familiar, "Anyway, I'm sure It's not the Greiner Grey Gland Venomous Spider-although it does look a bit like... Ah, does it always close its eyes?"
When the other party was looking at Xiao Ba with eager expression on her face, Maca was staring at her.
Yes, this is a lady with dark brown short curly hair, and the clothes she wears look casual.Although there is a chic and exquisite appearance in the beautiful face, the tone of speech is relaxed.
She seemed completely indifferent to Maca, who looked like a young wizard.
"...Well, beautiful lady... I am afraid that the topic of Xiao Ba is not suitable for more talk. After all, I heard that the law in the United States prohibits random breeding of magical creatures." Maca chuckled, "But, it looks like you There seems to be a lot of research on these little things?"
"Ah! Sorry..." The other party smiled apologetically, "I don't have much hobbies, but I have always been obsessed with magical creatures. I was a bit rude just now... By the way, this is your first time in New York? "
"Yeah!" Maca said calmly, "There are things that need to be dealt with. It's a short rush trip!"
"Oh, this is really good... But don't you need to go to school? Or just graduated and want to adjust your mood before work?" The other party curiously said, "To be honest, I just graduated from Ifamoni. At that time, but I started working before I even thought about it! Now I look at you, I really regret it..."
"Well, actually I have already worked, but... ahem..." Maca shrugged, "As you can see, because of some unstable factors, I seem to have some..."
"I understand and I understand," the other side said with a sympathetic look, and pointed his chin repeatedly, "Once I stepped into society, I discovered that although there is a lot of knowledge taught in school, you have to take your time to be a human being. Experience and comprehend. The decision of the boss is always messy, the feeling of instability makes people want to escape from that cage from time to time... Well, listen to me..."
Seeing that this lady had a misunderstanding of what she had said, and she continued to speak more and more, as if she had opened the chatterbox on her own, and started endless complaints about her work and life.
Maca smiled helplessly, took a sip from the wine glass, and started to wander away involuntarily.
Although the sisters are quite straightforward and feel pretty good when getting along, they are obviously not a suitable target for information exchange.
If Maca is just here to pass the time, there is nothing wrong with making friends, but he is here to find someone right now.
"...Take my report completely as waste paper, you say, what on earth is this? Exciting! A boss like this kind of doesn't understand the importance of professionalism at all! He only likes those gimmicks! As long as he can make money, If the sales can go up, he will be satisfied... My colleague O'Sullivan, his kind of good thing is not something you can run into every day! Who would want to be able to run into a big spider on the street? Huh... Huh? Looks a lot like this little guy?"
"...What? Big Spider? On the street?" Maca suddenly recovered, a flash of surprise in his eyes.
He didn't expect that anyone would come up and get new clues.
"Ah, don't you know?" The other party said casually, "Yes! Have you not read this news? Oh-yes, you just arrived in New York not long ago?"
"Well," Maca pretended to be curious, "A big spider appeared on the street? This sounds strangely dangerous..."
"Who said no?" The other party shook his head, a little dizzy because of alcohol, and said, "Unfortunately, our newspaper only published one issue, and the Magic Congress intervened-poor Osullivan was also by the Congress. Brought it to assist in the investigation."
"This is really bad..." Maca echoed, "So, don't many people pay attention to this matter?"
"The incident is very eye-catching. After all, many Muggles were injured at the scene-the people in Congress spent a lot of manpower to deal with this matter!" The other party shook his head and said, "I heard that the big spider has returned. It hasn't been found, so how can it be of such a large size? This is probably a long-planned incident-all the above guesses."
"Well... has been planning for a long time? Just to attack Muggles?" Maca asked tentatively.
"No, I heard that there was something else at the time, but after O'Sullivan came back, I closed the door and chatted for a long time. Later, the article written by O'Sullivan didn't have much actual content... I just said it. Well, that bald guy only likes gimmicks! A magical photo that is not very clear is enough for him!"
"This is really..." Maca followed her and shook her head.
Although some relevant information was accidentally learned, the amount of information contained in it was too small.Having said that, it is always good to have a clue.
Sirius should be in this area. Although it can't be found for the time being, the scope becomes smaller and the possibility of finding it will increase.
What the lady who appeared to be a female reporter was saying was enough as a backup clue.
"Ask you a question." Maca seemed to think of something, and then asked, "Does this bar lead to any other places? For example, the wizard's shopping street that sells goods?"
"Do you want to buy anything? There is none here, but a little further west, there is an entrance leading to the Jackson Trade Plaza. Most of the students of Ifamoni are shopping there, but there are not many daily necessities. , Is mainly a shop for magic learning and research."
"Oh... I'll go see it later, can you tell me more about it?"
In this slightly noisy bar, the two chatted casually, looking very inconspicuous.But no one would have thought that the big spider that recently aroused public opinion in the American magical world is now lying obediently on the bar eating croissant crumbs.
As for its owner, it is a young wizard who has not yet grown up.
No, maybe someone has noticed--
In a corner behind Maca, two wizards who were not willing to take off their scarves in the room were staring at the bar counter by Maca's elbow, with a gloomy atmosphere in their eyes.
