Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

() Although three silent persons were caught in a row, there was still not much substantial gain.But for Maca, just meeting the woman in front of him is already a big gain.

Since these silent people are still desperately searching for Sirius, it means that Sirius is not only still alive, but has already escaped from their pursuit.

Now that Maca already knew that the other party had a companion searching, he had to adjust the priority of dealing with affairs first.

In order to ensure the safety of Sirius, who did not know where he was hiding, Maca decided to take the first step and catch the last silent one before the other party found Sirius.

After all, although he didn't know where Sirius was, he already knew the location of this woman's companion.

"...West Side."

Dragging the woman in front of her behind her with a floating spell, Maca stepped on the magic book and flew straight to the west of the square.

...

Joshua was running, running under the dim street lights... He felt terrified, he didn't want to be punished for not completing the task...

He must, must find the man named "Sirius Black".

On a certain street in the West End, the young man who had separated from the woman Maca had caught was running madly.

He has searched almost half of the neighborhood here, but he has not found the strong man with a disheveled hair.

"...Not in the west side...not in the west side?" His voice was trembling constantly, and he didn't know if it was because he was running or she was out of fear.

There is a faint black mist faintly permeating his body, and it seems that he will incarnate the crazy darkness at any time because of the violent fluctuation of his spirit.

Suddenly, his toes slammed on a raised floor tile and fell heavily to the ground.When he scrambled to get up again, the palm of the hand supporting the ground and the forehead knocking on the floor tile flowed out viscous blood.

But he seemed to stand up unconsciously, and ran forward again.

There was no one on the street late at night, only the sound of his footsteps reverberated, and the surrounding darkness made him feel like he was in the abyss, and the shadows all around seemed to be a monster who wanted to choose someone to eat.

Joshua has been a timid boy since he was a child. He is afraid of the dark, afraid of being alone, afraid of small spaces, afraid of deep corridors...

But what he fears most is the master who is like a demon.

Therefore, he could not stop, no matter how scared he was.As long as he thinks of the cruel punishment he will face for failing to complete the task, he has to put everything that scares him behind.

Yes, "learn to forget about it"-a companion once taught him this.Say so, but how to throw it?

"...Ah, it hurts... so dark... so terrible..."

He ran straight forward, stepping into the light curtain of the street light again and again, and leaving again and again.

"...Bleeding! Bleeding again... terrible..."

He turned a corner and slipped again under his feet, but he forcibly hugged the pole of the street light.As the lamppost shook, the light above the head went out.

"...Can't just go back...to complete the task...can't..."

He was passing by the bookstore, and there seemed to be rats squeaking in the alley beside him. He tried not to listen or think. He tried to bury his head on the road under his feet.

"what--"

"...What's the matter? Someone is screaming? Woman?"

Joshua raised his head abruptly, and the messy, sweaty hair under his hood blocked most of his vision for an instant.But he still saw clearly--

Next to that bookstore, the door of a potion shop was half open.And on the stone steps at the door, a beautiful woman was standing stiffly, her mouth wide open with a frightened expression.

No, Joshua's focus is not on women-although he is not afraid of women, he is not good at dealing with them, and he thinks he might hate women.

What he focused on was what the woman was holding.

"...It's the robe...it's the robe worn by the man named'Sirius Black'!"

Joshua took a meal, then flung his legs away, and ran towards the woman like crazy.He roared in a low voice, like a frightened beast.

The woman standing at the door suddenly reacted, she subconsciously shook the outer robe in her hand forward, and then quickly ran into the half-open and half-closed door.

The next moment, with a "bang", the wooden door was closed tightly by her from inside.

Joshua didn't notice for a while, and was thrown on his forehead by the torn black robe, covering his entire head underneath.

In an instant, his vision was limited, and his injured forehead slammed into the door panel through the robe.

"……Well."

Does it hurt?Of course it hurts very very much!But although he is afraid of pain, he has already suffered countless more severe pains.

Joshua crouched on the steps, scratching his robe, and then he took it in front of his eyes to make a good confirmation-yes, it was this black robe of woven fur, it must belong to that man!

He just grabbed the door and climbed up, trying to open the power to break the wooden door and enter.But just as he was about to do this, a woman's conversation sounded on the second floor of the magic drug store.

"Above!"

Joshua quickly stepped back down the steps, came to the middle of the street, and looked up at the window on the second floor.Immediately afterwards, he saw a large thick black mist burst out of his body, rushing into the air from the street.

The outer robe fell on the floor tiles of the road with a clatter.

However, Joshua, who wanted to just rush into the window on the second floor of the potion store, failed to fulfill his intention.

At the moment when he turned into a black mist and rose into the air, a series of red light bursts from the other side of the street, and not even a single blow was wasted, all poured on him.

The impact force from one to the next blasted the black mist back and forth for several tens of feet.After a few seconds, Maca stepped on the magic book, skimming the street at high speed, and stopped steadily where the robe fell.

"This is Sirius's..." Maca fell to the ground, stooped to pick up the black robe, and looked left and right at the same time, "Is it near here?"

In fact, there is no need to look for more, and soon his eyes fell on the second floor of the magic drug store.

Although the curtains were being drawn in the window, and there was no light in the gaps between the curtains, the curtains were shaking slightly in the room with the windows closed, which seemed suspicious.

Maca didn't think much, he immediately raised his staff and pointed to the window.When the window sash was opened by him, he had already stepped in the magic book quickly.

He was welcomed by a disarming curse and three figures that had disappeared in the whirlpool of Apparition.

"Sirius?"

Maca easily fended off the curse that was shot at him, secretly saying bad.

Just now, he vaguely saw the general appearance of the three leaving—they were Sirius and two other women he didn't know.

One of the women showed up and left with Sirius' entourage; and the other was the younger girl who finally cast the disarming spell on him.

In fact, what he saw more clearly was the last girl, after all, in order to stop him, the other party left a little bit slowly.

As for Sirius who was taken away first-to be honest, if he hadn't recognized the torn pants that guy was wearing, he wouldn't have recognized it.

"...Didn't it mean that there is only one accomplice left?" Maca frowned. "The effect of Veritaserum must be no problem, that is to say... this operation is divided into two groups? Or, Those two are reinforcements from the latter?"

He breathed out a little boredly, and then stepped on the magic book and flew out of the window, hurriedly chasing the silent one who had been knocked into the air just now.

...

At the same time, on the Hudson River, north of New York, on a weedy slope.

With two crackling sounds one after another, three people emerged one after another from the distorted space.Olivia, who took the Sirius entourage to reveal himself, fell down on the grass with the former, looking a little embarrassed.

And Abigail, who appeared immediately, leaned on his knees and showed a shocked look.

"...I'm so fed up!" She flicked the wand in her hand and sniffed gently. "I never thought that one day I would cast a spell on a terrible dark wizard! This is simply...this simply……"

"Abby, is there a dark wizard in?" Olivia said in surprise.

"Yes!" Abigail also sat down on the grass, desperately saying, "It's terrible, will they send someone to kill me? I have never done anything bad—"

"Didn't you use the'hairy curse' to tease the neighbor's Joseph when you were a child? Did you forget?" Olivia blinked and said with a smile.

"Don't tell those trivial things!" Abigail said angrily, "especially in front of this man!"

Sirius lay weakly in the grass, and when he heard Abigail's words, he shook his head somewhat helplessly.

"Sorry, it's all because of me..."

"Yes! It's because of you!" Abigail said angrily, "Remember it! You owe me this!"

"Of course, you're right..." Sirius sighed, "By the way, are you okay? Are you injured? So urgent Apparition—"

"Don't underestimate people!" Abigail turned his head and glared at him, "I passed the phantom manifestation test in the first place! I have never made a mistake!"

"I saw you have practiced many times secretly by yourself!" Olivia immediately opened up, "That's against the rules!"

"Livy, shut up!" Abigail threw the wand at Olivia's head.
