Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Maca spent the rest of the Christmas holidays in the ward.Although he also wanted to go shopping with everyone before returning to school, he had to stay in the hospital bed honestly and count the remaining days with his fingers under the unanimous request of everyone. .

Fortunately, except for the three of Hermione who came here every day, Luna didn't go anywhere this time, and had been quietly accompanying him by the window.You know, for this seemingly demure girl, she is not as able to sit still as everyone thinks, and wandering around is one of her favorite things to do.

In any case, in this quiet period, the day he left Saint Mungo finally arrived.And this day is also the homecoming day of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Early in the morning, Maca walked out of the gate of the St. Mungo’s Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries, found a place where there was no one, and used the door key. In a flash, he appeared on the hillside in front of Lovegood’s house .

He had gone through the procedures for leaving the hospital yesterday evening, and Luna had returned to her home before dinner just like the past few days.Maybe she still wants to go to St Mungo to pick her up, but Maca thinks it doesn't seem necessary.

The weather has been pretty good recently, but the winter in Britain is always late before dawn. Maca got up early today, and the sky is still pre-dawn.But probably because today is special, in order not to be late when she arrives at Hogwarts, Luna seems to have gotten up too.

Maca walked in the snow, creaking from the snow.While breathing the cold air, he raised his head to the unique "chess-shaped" cabin of Lovegood's house, and the orange fire and lights were already showing through the windows.

Winter is the season of dormant creatures, and the cold night seems to freeze even the sound, which is particularly quiet.Occasionally one or two gusts of wind blew from a distance, and only a few faint rustling noises came.

The closer you are to the house, the more you can hear the noise in the house.There was the sound of busy footsteps, the rustling of objects, and even the crackling of firewood in the fireplace.Only occasionally, people will hear intertwined voices, Luna and Xenofilius, the father and daughter, who have always been harmonious, seem to be arguing about something rare.

"...My dear, I have to say, you should bring this pair of socks. Everything else in the Ravenclaw Tower is great-especially the independent library, but the only bad thing there is it's too cold. . Trust me, take these thick wool socks!"

"No, I don't think it is necessary, Dad. Rather than putting on an extra pair of socks, I would rather bring my new notebook with me. It allows me to jot down more things about magical animals."

"But, my dear... even if you don't put these socks in, you can't fit in a new notebook."

"Then take off another pair of socks..."

"Oh! My child, you must not do this, your poor feet will be frozen!"

Maca stood in front of the door, listening to the dialogue from the room, shook his head a little funny and a little helpless.He stopped listening and knocked on the wooden door directly.

"Oh-it must be Maca. He can't wait to come here first." Luna's voice is still soft and sweet, as if she is talking to your ear, with a mysterious intimacy.

After a while, as a footstep approached behind the door, the door was opened with a creak.

"Good morning, Mr. Lovegood." Maca greeted politely.

"Oh, it's really Maca—" Xenofilius patted him on the shoulder happily, "Why is this here? Luna told me yesterday morning, we plan to go there soon. Saint Mungo will pick you up. Hurry! Come in! Have breakfast together!"

Maca smiled and said, "No need to pick it up," she walked in with him and closed the wooden door behind her.But as soon as they walked inside, Xenofilius rushed to the spiral staircase as if he had discovered something extraordinary.

"...Don't... don't take it out anymore, my dear. Don't forget, you have to wear your clothes to go to class, and you don't have to wear some more!"

The living room and kitchen are just that big, and Maca has already seen the situation clearly by standing aside.He used to give Luna a suitcase with the Wuhen Stretching Curse, but the filial little girl had passed it on to her father some time ago.Now she used her original suitcase again, and every time she went home or returned to school, she had to think about how many things she should pack.

"So, let me add some stretching spells to your box!" He couldn't help saying.

In fact, he had already mentioned this proposal once, but for some reason, Luna did not accept his kindness last time.Seeing that she was struggling with a notebook and even a pair of woolen socks, she could not help but put forward this suggestion again.

Luna, who was sitting on the stool by the stairs looking through the suitcase, shook her head without even thinking about it.When she found that Maca was walking towards her, she even closed the box.

"No, I don't need Maca." Her tone was still in a trance, but there was a rare seriousness on her face, "I've packed up..."

Does this girl don't want me to see her clothes?real or fake?Is it possible that the little girl who was pure and innocent, with some ethereal aura when she spoke, had already begun to grow up?

The closer you are, the harder it is to judge a person's changes and growth.It has been nearly five years since the day he met Luna.

These five years, for an adult, may not be as long as imagined; but when they belong to a thriving child, the changes will actually be huge.

Until this moment, Maca watched Luna wake up-the little girl who was shining in the cemetery with hazy gold, grew taller without knowing it, and seemed to become more feminine. The charm of it.Even her dress style, which has always been incomprehensible, is slowly moving closer to chic but unique, at least not as weird as it was at first.

Well, probably the only thing that hasn't changed is her long pale blonde hair.The slightly curly hair was squeezed behind her cheeks and hung along her back all the way over her waist, with a soft luster.

"Then put all the books you want to bring to me! Those things are weird, you can ask me to get them when you arrive at school."

Oh!And those eyes, Luna's gray eyes are still a little hazy, even when she is talking to you, she may not always look at you.Sometimes you have to think carefully to see if she is talking to you or something else invisible.

Just like now, the two of them are clearly talking, but Luna's eyes are falling on the sleeves of Maca's outer robe, maybe she is still wondering if there is a sniffer hidden in it!

However, not long after she looked at it, she lowered her head and took out several stacks of books of various sizes from the box.It seems that she has accepted Maca's previous proposal.

Seeing that his daughter was finally able to bring more clothes and thick socks to school, Xenofilius couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

To be honest, the suitcase with the non-marking stretching curse is indeed very useful, but no matter how good it is, it does not make him more happy than his daughter can relax.If Maca doesn't come, he must find a way to return the suitcase to Luna again.

"Next time when you give gifts, let's send a few more suitcases!" Maca thought helplessly, "Only when we give gifts during the holiday, can the father and daughter accept them smoothly."

To be honest, he was enthusiastic about giving away an undesirable thing, but it made him feel so regretful now.

After Luna packed her luggage, the three of them enjoyed a peculiar and rich breakfast by the warm fire together, and Maca showed up at the front entrance of Hogwarts with Luna. before.

In the past few days when Maca was lying on the hospital bed, Hogwarts Castle, which should have been quite deserted during the holidays, became quite busy. Various characters were coming and going for Voldemort and Greenwall. De, the two great demon heads died and rushed around.

And because of this, the professors at Hogwarts—especially Professor McGonagall—suddenly had a lot of school affairs to be dealt with one by one, and the visit of receiving guests has become a daily schedule. Extra work.

In fact, if someone hadn't blocked most of his affairs for him, probably even if Maca was hiding in Saint Mungo, he might not be able to escape the mundane affairs that belonged to him.

There are a total of two wizards helping him. One is Professor McGonagall, who naturally wants him to take good care of his body, and the other is the vain old man Horace Slughorn who has not officially taken up his post. child.

For danger, this short, fat old man generally stays away; but for things that can help him accumulate fame and expand his social circle, he seems to be able to smell it, and he gets in faster than anyone else.

But now Maca and Luna came to the school gate, only to find that the lively scene they expected was not there.Even if they came a little earlier, the little wizards back to school haven't come yet, but what about the Ministry of Magic, or some other guests?It stands to reason that those guys don't care if the sky just lights up.

The two of them didn't go far before they saw a tall figure standing by the gate, and looked towards them with a smile.

"Hagrid?" Maca took Luna for two trots, and came to the other side, "Why stand here? Welcome the students back to school?"

"Yeah!" Hagrid nodded happily, "Besides this, today the horsemen are planning to start migrating—Professor McGonagall helped them find a good place, and the Ministry of Magic also approved it—this is A big thing, I have to watch it!"
