Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

"Lupin, it's me... something needs to be investigated. I will wait for you in the reception room downstairs."

Maca didn't wait for the door to open, but after leaving a word outside, he took Lena and left first.After the two came to the reception room opposite the hall, Maca sat down at the table.

"Is Lenny asleep?"

Even for the little girl who is noisy all day long, she will always miss it a bit.

Black’s old house has never been too angry, and since the Weasleys returned, it has become even more deserted.So even if the noise is too much to listen to and often feel bored, it is actually indispensable.

Especially for the children who are still here, the prolonged imprisonment has brought them a great psychological impact.Lenny's boisterous bluffing is the nutrient they currently need.

"Yes, Leni has fallen asleep." Lena hasn't said much, basically the type of answering only after asking, "I'll make some tea for everyone..."

"Oh, no." Maca waved his hand, "No need...When Sirius comes back, we should go. After we go out, you can go back to your room and rest! Or, in fact, you can now."

"No hurry... wait a minute."

Lena shook her head slightly, and then also sat on the old chair by the long table.

Probably because she had just gotten up from the bed, her hair was not tied up as usual.When she tilted her head, the hair tips around her ears also slipped slightly, causing her to raise her hands and push them back behind her ears.

This girl is very good at enjoying peace and quiet, except for Laini's opposite sister, nothing matters to her.No matter how boring days are here, she can accept it without boredom.

Compared to worrying that she would be bored, Laini was more worrying, but Maca really had nothing to do for them.

"How is Lenny doing? Didn't you go where to mess around?"

Just as Maca's question was asked, there was a sound of footsteps at the door of the reception room.Lena opened her mouth, but soon closed it again.

The next moment, Lupin's neatly dressed figure appeared in Maca's sight.

"Oh, Maca! Good evening!"

It was not Lupin who greeted him first, but Nifadora Tonks, another man who squeezed in half of his body from behind him.

"Well, good evening..." Maca said with an ambiguous smile, "It seems that I accidentally disturbed you... I hope that is not the most critical moment?"

"Uh...Hello!"

Tonks' face suddenly became a little more faint, and her fickle shoulder-length hair gradually darkened from the original pink.However, she was the kind of more boyish and hearty character, and soon became generous again, and even glared at Maca.

Lu Ping's expression seemed rather embarrassing. After all, it was complicated to be teased by a younger man who could be his own son regardless of age.

"Maca, you said something needs to be investigated? What is it?" He pretended to wave his hand calmly, pulled a chair away and sat down at will, "Well... is it related to the next alchemy contest? "

If something big is about to happen recently, it is undoubtedly the International Alchemy Competition to be held at Hogwarts.Coupled with the importance of this event for Hogwarts, Lupin just thought about it and guessed the general direction of the matter.

"Yes!" Maca shrugged, "I got news that the Iranian magical world seems to be a little uncomfortable. Specifically, it also involves the Indian delegation that has not arrived at Hogwarts this time, and... "

After briefly talking about the general situation, he tapped the table top with his knuckles and paused for a while.After Lupin and Tonks digested his narrative, he spread his hands.

"The source of intelligence may not be comprehensive and reliable. After all, it is not his own person who provided this information..." Maca said, "but if this matter is true, then you must respond as soon as possible to tell the truth. The possibility of knowledge heritage is not small. Not to mention anything else, the inventory of the elixir that may exist is also worthy of many people..."

"It's true..." Lupin couldn't help frowning. "Except for a few people like Dumbledore...Who doesn't want to live longer?"

While talking, he subconsciously glanced at Tonks next to him, and the other party gave him an ironed cheerful smile.

There is an age gap between the two that cannot be ignored. Although Lupin seems to have accepted Tonks's sincere feelings, he always staggers when he thinks of the future.

"At least I think that the Lemay couple's six hundred years, certainly not all happy..." Maca smiled, "Anyway, when Sirius comes back, let's go to Iran to take a look! "

"Are you the only three of us?" Lu Ping thought for a while, then nodded, "Well, if you just go to investigate, it won't be nice if there are more people."

"Three?" When Tonks heard this, he was immediately dissatisfied, "What about me? Are you planning to keep me here? I am also a working Auror anyway!"

"That's why!" Maca said naturally, "you are going to work tomorrow morning, right? And... Hey, how do I remember that you barely passed the test for sneaking and tracking?"

Lupin also teased: "If you don't wake up Mrs. Black when you go to the kitchen, then your stealth evaluation will be good."

Tonks finally squatted helplessly on the table after hearing the words, and then sighed heavily.

"Alright alright……"

Just as Maca and Lupin looked at each other and laughed for a while, there was a creak of the door being opened in the hall.Several people in the reception room immediately understood that Sirius should have returned.

"Sirius," Maca got up to greet him, "Seeing you can run to the Broken Cauldron Bar to pass the time, there must be nothing to do, right? Prepare, let's go to the magical world of Iran together, and talk about the specifics on the road."

"I'm going out again? I just came back."

Sirius still looked like a foolish man. Although he was complaining, the expression on his face was filled with excitement.This guy is a person who can't be free, and Maca knows it all right.

...

Iran is a typical khaki country.

Due to the geographical location, there are many extremely dry desert terrains, so that many areas are in long-term heat.And this has been like this since it was still called the "Persian Empire".

When Maca, Lupin, and Sirius arrived in Iran, it was already late at night.But the same is true of the Muggle world today. Even at night, plenty of lights can still complement the night lighting, and the most lively places can even make it impossible to distinguish day and night more clearly.

Fortunately, in terms of the information provided by Rita Skeeter, they didn't need to be too close to the noisy streets where Muggles came and went.In this case, even the presumptuous visits of these foreigners would not cause the local residents to look back frequently.

"Maca?"

Under the curtain of night in this Iranian city, Maca stared at the earth-colored dome buildings far and near, and the patterns and patterns on the walls. He couldn't help but stop slightly.

In a daze, he couldn't help feeling a smell of deja vu lingering in his heart, as if he had been to a similar place in the past.

"Huh?" In Lupin's slightly questioning eyes, Maca let out a sigh, then smiled again, "It's okay, it's just...I remembered a little thing in the past."

He said in his mouth, but subconsciously shook his right hand, and then slowly released it.

"Let's go, the place we are going should be in the old city to the north. In order not to be horrified, let's walk around...There are so many people on the street, maybe we will fall into some "wishful people" 'In the eyes of..."

Although it was late at night, there was still a lot of people on the central streets.After Maca and the others entered the city, they passed by the nearby residential area shrouded in darkness and headed straight for the old building area in the north of the city.

The earthy yellow here is thicker than other urban areas, but it is still in the dark night, and the moonlight illuminates the brownish-yellow walls a little white.Since the streets and lanes in the past were mostly narrow and closed, walking among the low-rise houses, one could even feel the crowded and cramped a little bit from the ancient life.

To put it bluntly, this is also the first time Maca has come to this city. Rita Skeeter has clearly stated the specific location, but he still has to look for it when he gets here.

"...Is it here?"

In the gap between a very narrow house, Maca sensed some strange magical fluctuations.And as he walked in, the fluctuation became more obvious.

Until he slid away a few broken baskets that were blocking the way, a door frame that had long been sealed with earth bricks came into his sight.

"It should be right," Maca turned back and whispered, "When we put on the phantom spell, we will go in. The back should be a wizarding street like Diagon Alley, but it is said that there are many alleys. Pay attention to walking through. route."

When Lupin and Sirius nod their heads, Maca cast a phantom charm on the three of them, and then reached out to check on the brick wall.

It didn't take long for him to drew a small pattern on a few bricks, and then his entire hand sank into the wall.

"Really bad experience"

Feeling the viscous sensation of going through the mud, Maca murmured, and then dived in.
