Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

"...Mr. Hornheim, it seems that you are also very optimistic about this game."

"Yes, the knowledge left by Mr. Nicole Lemay is naturally precious, and it can even be said to be a gem of the global magic world. But no matter how valuable knowledge is, it is just a pile of mineral veins buried under the loess. We need gems, and we need talents who can mine and sculpt them..."

"...So I think that the players who stand out in this game are the real'treasures'."

At the dinner table, Maca's conversation with Mr. Hohenheim seemed very pleasant.

It can be said that this wizard who has always been at the forefront of global alchemy also has a very clear focus.He also hopes that Nicole Lemay’s legacy can be applied to all wizards in a more complete, more effective and efficient manner, instead of being monopolized by one party or a few forces, and then choosing like the past family system society. Keep it secret.

Of course, to achieve this is actually very difficult, he and Maca are very clear.

"Yes! Talents are what everyone needs most..." Mr. Hohenheim nodded and said with a slight emotion, "So I hope that those who perform well can not be bound by some unnecessary power..."

Through some contact, Maca discovered that although Mr. Hohenheim was full of muscles, he was a man with a rough surface and a delicate heart.He has a thorough view of the current state of the magic world, and has a clear view of those forces.

It's a pity that the more you see clearly, the more you feel that you are powerless sometimes.People are always chasing profit. Muggles and wizards are the same, and they will run for their own interests.It is naturally unrealistic to want to change this.

Therefore, in France at that time, Maca and Mrs. Maxime discussed a plan to divide the overall interests.

In this game, on the surface, someone will win the championship, but in fact, it can be said that everyone has a prize. It's just that those who are ranked first can get more shares.

"Mr. Hornheim," Maca gestured to him, raising the goblet, "I invite you to come here this time to help the players lift those constraints? You are the general judge of this competition, so please Bother--"

"Hahaha, why bother to say... Isn't this taken for granted?" Hohenheim also raised his glass and smiled heartily, "However, the weight of our Egyptian Alchemy Research Center alone is not that sufficient. I have to trouble Hogwarts for more help!"

Maca clinked glasses with him, and then retracted and took another sip, but the corner of his eye swept over the seat next to him inadvertently.

"Oh, yes." He paused, and then continued, "Mr. Hohenheim, I wonder if Sarah told you-she just won the first grade in the class test not long ago. This is amazing, I think you should give her a good compliment..."

"Really?" Hohenheim quickly showed a surprised expression after hearing it, "Sarah, why didn't you tell Dad?"

"It's just a small test," Sarah beside him smiled quietly, and said with restraint, "Professor McLean is too rewarding, Sarah can't afford it."

"How can I be rewarded? I'm not an exaggeration," Maca followed with a smile, but then changed the conversation. "In addition, Sarah's alchemy is particularly good. Mr. Hohenheim, I think she should participate in this. A game... what do you think?"

"Oh?"

The moment Maca uttered these words, he saw Mr. Hohenheim subconsciously touch Sarah's gaze.Although it was just a touch, he still caught it accurately.

"...Haha, I think, I don't have to ask me about it." The other party spread his hands and said, "Look, I am the chief judge of this competition, and... Actually, I always leave her to her. It's up to me."

Mr. Hohenheim's laughter was still so bold, but Maca could hear a subtle feeling from it.Although he couldn't tell exactly what that feeling came from, he knew that this was definitely not a simple answer like "it is always up to her to decide."

As for Sarah, she didn't respond to Maca's words this time, but avoided it directly by drinking the juice.

"That's it," Maca nodded when she saw it, "Sarah can become as independent as she is now, and it must be inseparable from Mr. Hornheim's training. Well, in other words...The Egyptian Alchemy Research Center What good things are you researching recently? Can you tell me something?"

It is enough to just ask what you said just now. If you are too entangled, it will affect the emotion of the other party.After all, they are the general judges this time, and the reason for coming here is just the competition-this event is very important to Hogwarts, and Maca is not a person who does not distinguish between priorities.

"Oh, of course it's okay, actually—"

Maca took the initiative to change the subject, and Hohenheim naturally followed the flow.But this time, his words couldn't be continued, because someone who interrupted suddenly appeared.

"...Wait, you...you can't..." "click."

Since the wizards from the research center are equivalent to judges, in addition to the leader, Mr. Hornheim, the remaining dozens of colleagues will also assist in the judging of the event.Alchemy is not a simple and straightforward thing like Quidditch. By then, every judge will need a team to support it.

So to be fair, Maca deliberately arranged them to have lunch in another small hall in the castle, instead of letting them go to the side hall of the auditorium with the participating groups.

However, it seems that some people are still unconscious?

But when the door of the small hall was pushed open from the outside, Maca realized that he seemed to be wrong.Because he soon saw that the guy who still rushed in under Filch's obstruction was not from the delegation.

"McLean, she, they—"

Maca waved his hand to stop Filch from speaking.

"You go out first..." He let Filch leave the small hall first, then frowned slightly, "Ms. Skeeter, didn't I say hello to the editor of your Daily Prophet? Judges The interview time will be placed at noon the day before the start of the game-you are not interviewing the delegation in the side hall of the auditorium, what are you doing here?

That's right, the one who suddenly ran over here was Rita Skeeter, the special reporter who likes to play tricks and sell cleverness in the Daily Prophet.

When she was in the top three, Maca threatened her a little bit to make her more honest.Not to mention anything else, at least she never dared to slander Maca directly, and indeed rarely appeared in front of Maca.

I don't know what happened to her today, she dared to break in under Filch's interception so recklessly.If she didn't know that Maca was here in advance, it was absolutely impossible.

"No, no, Mr. McLean, of course I know the scheduled interview time, and I have no plans this time... Look, I didn't even bring the magic camera..." Rita Skeeter pushed on the bridge of the nose His eyes and scarlet lips opened and closed quickly, "Actually...well, Mr. McLean, can you come here first? I have a little thing to tell you--"

When she said these words, there was still a very artificial mystery on her face, and she deliberately increased her tone at the end.It can be seen that the "little things" in her mouth are definitely not "small".

From Maca's point of view, the woman was almost writing "I want to make a deal with you" on her face.

But since the other party seemed to hold some news in his hand, Maca didn't mind to listen to it.He didn't do this kind of business for the first time. As long as there are enough benefits, it's okay to give others some convenience.

"Mr. Hornheim, everybody, I'm sorry, but let me leave you alone."

After guilty, Maca took Skeeter to the rest area beside the small hall.

"Sit." Maca took the lead to sit down on the sand and signaled that the other person was also seated. Then he waved his hand and said, "Just say what you want!"

"Well, it's like this..." Rita Skeeter pushed the glasses again, and a momentary white light flashed on the glass lenses. "If Mr. McLean is interested in what I will say next, no I know if I can..."

"Do you want the judges' priority interview right?" Maca interrupted, "If what you are saying is really valuable, it will be fine to introduce you to Mr. Hohenheim now."

After all, it is a world-class event. This time the news media is not limited to the Daily Prophet. It is natural for Skeeter to compete for the right to interview.

However, for this promise of Maca, Skeeter did not show too much excitement.

"Of course it's not bad..." She pretended to smile charmingly, "However, at least I personally think that this information of mine is more than this price!"

"Huh?" Maca raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, "Then what price do you want?"

"After the event, the exclusive right to obtain materials when Nicol Lemay’s estate is public--" Skeeter said, raising an index finger, "The first day, as long as the first day is fine!"

As far as Rita Skeeter’s lion spoke, Maca did not show any expressions of surprise.

The role of the media is undoubtedly immense, and it has an immeasurable impact on the promotion of Hogwarts and the fairness and disclosure of alchemical heritage.But if it's only the first day, it's not impossible to agree.

After all, the International Wizarding Federation, as the official of the game, will also announce relevant documents and information to the magic circles of all countries as soon as possible.Although not as detailed as the major magic newspapers, the authenticity is beyond doubt.

"You really dare to mention this kind of request," Maca grinned. "So, let's talk about it now, right?"
