Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

() Judging from the final results, Maca’s short second trip to New York was undoubtedly a success.

Not only did he transfer Sirius, Abigail, Olivia, and the group of rescued children to Hogwarts, he even took the missing Joshua with him in a very short time. Come back, it can be said to be luck and strength.

But one of them was imperfect, because it was not until noon the next day that Joshua woke up from a deep coma.

"...Zor...Zoe..."

The sun on Sunday is obviously warmer than that on Saturday.In this frosty winter, strands of golden light penetrated the window glass and fell on Joshua's pale face.

"Zoe!"

When he called out the name again, the endless nightmare awakened him suddenly, and he suddenly sat up on the bed.

Probably it was a long sleep that made him a little confused. After looking around blankly for a few moments, he seemed to recall something and lifted the thick blanket.

"This is..." Joshua hurriedly slid off the bed, his feet softened, and fell to the floor. "Where am I?"

He leaned on the bed board to prop up his body, observing the surroundings in a flustered manner.

This is a wide room with two rows of beds neatly arranged, and all the sheets and bedding are reassuringly white, and they look like new and spotless.

A series of transparent windows let in the sunlight quietly, and a bright block was reflected on the row of beds by the window.

Occasionally, one or two windows are luxuriant with branches and leaves, and the shadows of the trees are mottled, and they seem to bring some unique colors.

Joshua found that most of the beds here were metal brackets with pulleys, and on both sides of the bed next to him, the brackets were stretched out and hung a beige curtain with a pattern of broken petals.

Although the flames in the fireplace at one end of the room were still beating and swaying slightly, it was still a bit cold in a single coat after all. Joshua tightened his clothes slightly.

He found that he seemed to be the only person here.

"...Yes, is anyone here?" Joshua yelled softly, but his voice was too small to be heard.

After hesitating, Joshua hesitated and walked over to the bed covered by the curtain.

The sunlight outside the window also spilled in from behind the bed, reflecting a slightly undulating outline on the curtain, and there seemed to be a person lying there.

"...Is anyone there?" He called again, but still received no response.

However, when he reached Joshua who was in front of the curtain and was about to reach out and take a look at it, the door of the room was suddenly opened from the outside.

"Are you awake? How can you...how can you get out of bed? Go back and lie down, but you haven't recovered yet! Need plenty of rest! Understand?" Madam Pomfrey, who rushed in, rebuked loudly.

A series of shouts startled Joshua, he retracted his hand almost reflexively, and then hurriedly walked back to the bed where he woke up before.

Hearing the order, he must follow it unconditionally, which has almost become his subconscious reaction.After he sat back on the bed, he remembered what he wanted to do most.

"Who...Who are you?" He crouched and asked, "Why am I here... That person... Mike... McLean?"

"Huh?" Madam Pomfrey stared at the clipboard in her hand, and said casually, "How do I know? He sent you here last night and then left. He should have gone back to his own office! As for me. —I’m the head nurse here, Poppy Pomfrey, and you are my patient."

"Ms. Pomfrey..." Joshua hesitated, then said, "Where is this place?"

"Where?" Madam Pomfrey raised her head and looked at him, "Of course it is the ward! The hospital ward of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

"Hogg...worth? School of Magic?" Joshua repeated blankly.

"I don't know Hogwarts?" Madam Pomfrey glanced at him hesitantly and frowned. "Where did McLean get you here? If you listen to your accent, it looks like America. people?"

"This..." Joshua said in surprise, "This is not America?"

"Oh-this is certainly not America." Madam Pomfrey waved to him, "Lie down, I want to check your physical condition -"

"No, I have to... there is an important thing, Zuo—"

"Lie down!" Madam Pomfrey looked at him with an unquestionable expression, and said solemnly, "You are my patient now, and the most important thing for you is to recover well! Other things, wait until you are better!"

Joshua has never really fought against others several times in his life.

The first time was when he couldn't stand his father's abuse and fled the house when he was a child; and the second time, the power of the silent man was suddenly mobilized last night to try to take Zoe away from the manor.

In fact, it can basically be regarded as a failure twice before and after.

Right now, he didn't dare to try a third time-it was terrible!

Under the scolding of Madam Pomfrey, Joshua closed his mouth honestly, and lay on the bed without daring to move even a little bit, just like a marionette, letting him put him around.

After Madam Pomfrey had checked him and made a quick record, she turned and walked quickly in the direction of the door.

"...You want to find Mr. McLean, don't you? I'll tell him for you." Before closing the door of the ward, Mrs. Pomfrey only looked back and left such a sentence, and then left in a hurry.

In the ward, Joshua obediently obeyed Madam Pomfrey's last order, lying motionless on the hospital bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

...

At the same time, River Edge District, New Jersey, USA.

The wall smashed by Joshua has long been repaired, and the enchantment attached to it has been refilled, but Zoe was locked into the manor’s underground wine cellar by the old wizard Lenny.

And the silent ones who were sent out to chase Joshua last night have also returned one after another.

Because this group of silent people were as timid as a mouse, not only did they fail to complete the task, they even killed several people under the attack of a thunderbird, the old wizard Lenny was furious.

These silent people don't know, but Lenny does.Although Thunderbird is indeed extraordinary, operating at sea will greatly increase its strength. If a small number of silent people encounter it, it will definitely be difficult to resist.

However, he sent out more than eight or nine people last night!

Because of this, Maca calls his research "boring research."

Naturally silent people are of course uncontrollable, and only when the suppressed emotions cannot be vented, and the magic in their bodies is brewing and deteriorating, they will transform into that inexplicable dark form and burst out.

Only then can the silent one exert its true power.

And once the silent one itself becomes controllable, the silent one cannot be called the silent one.

Most silent people are children with fragile hearts and cowardly behavior. It is a wrong decision to keep their will reluctantly.

The so-called "silent ones" cultivated by the old wizard Lenny are not only discounted in strength, but also lacking in the will to fight.In terms of destructive power alone, they may be stronger than ordinary wizards, but if they want to actually participate in the struggle between wizards, they will only be a mob with some powerlessness.

The angry Lenney severely punished these "men" one by one, and only then did he go to the underground wine cellar of the manor.

In the wine cellar, most of the oak barrels that were originally stored have been cleared out. Now in the cellar, apart from the strong aroma of wine, only Zoe is left with his hands hanging on the chain on the top of the cellar.

Hanging there for a long time, her wrist has been scratched, and in order to reduce the pain, Zoe, who is always on tiptoes, is almost exhausted.

The cold sweat on the forehead gently slid down the brow bone, dripped from the cheek to the tip of the chin, and then dripped slowly.Everything made her feel unhappy.

You know, she was a student not long ago!How could she have imagined that she would be caught in such a place somehow, and endure such pain and suffering.

But since she was taught to know how to be strong since she was a child, she froze without leaving a single tear, even if she was already full of grievances.

"Humph," the old wizard Lenny, who hadn't succumbed to the punishment just now, looked at Zoe coldly and said, "Remember what I should say?"

"I..." Zoe said weakly, "I said, I don't know... understand?"

"Really?" Lenny nodded, and suddenly stretched out his wand and pointed it at her, "Take my heart!

A screaming scream reverberated in this small wine cellar, the voice trembled because of the weakness of physical strength, but the pain was not diminished.

Time goes by in seconds, and every second, she will suffer unspeakable pain.

This torture was no longer something Zoe could bear at this time, and she could even feel her consciousness gradually becoming confused.

The Heart Drilling Curse will not cause people to faint during the cast. This confusion in consciousness is a precursor to the victim's imminent mental breakdown.

At the time, Neville's parents, under this unbearable situation, became a couple who could only live in the special ward of Saint Mungo forever.

"Well?"

The old wizard suddenly realized that something was wrong, he quickly cancelled the spell, and then checked Zoe carefully.

"Tsk, damn..." He smacked his tongue in annoyance, and then quickly opened Zoe's eyelids, "...Despite!"

Just after the last syllable of the spell fell, Lenny suddenly shook his whole body.
