Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

"...Put down the wand! I warn you, immediately put down the wand in your hand! This is the British magic world, and it is a violation to cast spells on others for no reason—"

In a vendor's area near the Forbidden Forest, Hermione was scolding a man with all his strength.However, while trying to maintain her righteous expression, her cheeks inevitably became slightly flushed, and even the roots of her ears seemed to become hot unconsciously.

No way, this is really because the sorcerer's dress in front of him is really too much for a young girl who has not graduated... well, too shame.

Yes, right in front of her right now, a guy with a piece of animal leather wrapped around his waist was holding a squiggly wand, and his eyes widened and talking to Hermione.It's just that he doesn't seem to know English, and even if he babbles for a while, he can't make Hermione understand even a word.

Probably after realizing that it was meaningless to warn the other party, Hermione quickly chose to shut her mouth.However, with her temperament, she would not give up.

She racked her brains while thinking and stretching out her hand to sign, for a moment she pointed to the strange wand in the opponent's hand, and then she waved her hand vigorously and shook her head.

However, the facts tell us that even with body language, there are huge cultural differences.I don’t know which action Hermione made went wrong, the wizard who seemed to belong to the African delegation suddenly became nervous, and the wand that was originally pointed diagonally behind Hermione also moved to where she was. .

Due to the sudden increase in hostility from the opponent, even the subject changed to herself, Hermione had to tense her nerves and stop the limb movements in her hands.

This open space among the crowds that had appeared because of sudden disputes was also enlarged again at this moment.As a result, the third person who was standing behind Hermione suddenly became a lot more eye-catching.

"Luna, you go first... Hurry up and find Maca." In order to avoid irritating the other party again, Hermione could only speak quietly to the girl behind her as long as she could stay as still as possible. "He is responsible. The person negotiating with the delegations of various countries, only he can solve this matter the fastest...I will try to hold this person."

In fact, this incident started when Luna and the African wizard met by chance, but if we want to find out the reason, it is still a mystery due to the language barrier between the two sides.

If you have to use words to describe the situation at the time, I am afraid it can only be described by the phrase "just because I looked at you in the crowd".

That's right, it was the next moment when Luna and the wizard's eyes crossed each other, and the other party took out the odd-shaped wand hung in his waist leather pocket after a little dazed.

And now, although things have not become clear yet, the atmosphere between the two parties present has become more tense.

However, for Hermione's proposal to let Luna leave first... or the decision, Luna did not act accordingly.At this moment, she was just like in the past, looking forward with a dazed expression, not knowing what she was thinking again.

In the past two years, the number of times she was stunned when nothing happened was actually much less than when she first entered school.However, it seems that the reduction in frequency does not mean that she has completely bid farewell to this inexplicable habit.

"Luna? Luna...Lu..."

Because she was still silently confronting the "shameless" African wizard, Hermione didn't dare to look back.But even if she didn't have eyes behind her head, she could clearly feel that Luna hadn't moved.

The next second when Hermione whispered again, the crowds on both sides suddenly got a little commotion.Immediately afterwards, a familiar figure struggled to push away the crowd and got into this small open space, and suddenly rushed to the sides of the confrontation.

"He—"

This uninvited guest who came in suddenly was naturally Harry who heard the sound not far away.He was about to call out her name subconsciously after seeing Hermione, but immediately he spotted the weird wizard opposite Hermione.

No, to be precise, I found the wand in the opponent's hand.

Compared to Hermione, who was accustomed to using reasoning as the first response option, Harry clearly had the style and spirit of Gryffindor College.So when he quickly noticed the slight sense of threat, the wand that was still inserted inside the robe fell into his palm for the first time.

Just as a loaded gun is to a Muggle, for a wizard, I believe there is nothing more nervous than using the tip of a wand to face each other.Harry's appearance, not only did not relieve the tension, but further aggravated the conflict between the two sides.

The tip of the African wizard's wand unexpectedly shifted again, and Harry and his eyes suddenly collided.

If the sight is also a kind of curse, just this one, I am afraid that a brilliant spark has already been hit.

Luna was still in a daze at this moment, and Hermione had no idea what she was thinking.She only knew that if someone took out the magic wand, this inexplicable dispute would immediately escalate to a real curse chaos.

There is no doubt that this situation must be terminated by a way-this market temporarily formed because of the event has gathered too many wizards, if something goes wrong, it is not just for one or two people. The trivial matter.

But at this moment, Alexander's appearance interrupted Hermione's contemplation again.

He was following Harry, and although he was a few years older than Harry in the crowded crowd, he tried very hard to appear in everyone's sight.

"What happened—"

As the number of people who crossed in increased one by one, the wizard from the African magic world couldn't help it.

As a result, Alexander, who had just entered from the crowd of onlookers, was only half talking. As a spell that Hogwarts had never taught passed the ears of everyone, a cloud of gray mist suddenly came from there. The wizard's odd wand gushed out from the top.The mist seemed light and erratic, but in fact it was so fast that it immediately enveloped him and spread out quickly.

Although they have never seen such a spell, everyone who trains understands that keeping calm when facing the unknown is one of the most important things.

. As far as the practice of simultaneous spelling is promoted, calm cooperation is undoubtedly a very crucial point.

Therefore, when the surrounding people even had time to cause riots in the future, Harry and Hermione looked at each other in a tacit understanding-now it is not just now. One more magic wand ready to cast is one more The opportunity to deal with the situation.

Both of them understand that it is already an extravagant hope to solve the problem without any trouble.

After exchanging glances, Harry immediately waved the wand in his hand that had been waiting for a long time, and a breeze suddenly changed from small to large, and quickly swept toward the gray mist in front of him.

The "cyclone sweep" that was originally used to clean up dust and garbage was rationally used by him.From this point alone, it can be seen that some understanding and flexible use of various spells have been passed on to a certain extent through the analysis of the spells that Maca originally distributed.

And when the airflow successfully started to disperse the fog with Harry's guidance, Hermione, who had been watching the situation on the scene, moved too.Seeing that she knew the moment when the gray mist was shaken by the whirlwind and the figure of the African wizard was slightly exposed, a red light flashed past the tip of her wand.

It was another spell using the silent spell technique. The red light belonging to the disarming spell crossed the short distance between the two sides in a blink of an eye, and fell exactly to the point she was aiming at.

There is no doubt that such a high accuracy of casting spells also comes from repeated simultaneous spell casting training. It can be seen that the training content of. Will continue to be proven in actual combat.

Unfortunately, when a splendid red light particle suddenly exploded in the slightly thinning gray mist, Hermione knew that her disarming curse was blocked by the opponent.

The opponent is naturally not a wooden pile nailed to the ground, even if there is not much room for movement due to the terrain, at least it is inevitable to put a defensive spell on oneself.

In fact, the African wizard's intention to spread the gray mist may have been to prepare for the situation with one enemy and many...

Of course, the situation at the scene was verbose, but in fact it was nothing more than what happened within a few seconds.And when the two sides went back and forth like this, the crowd onlookers finally seemed to have recovered—the commotion was about to begin!

"and many more?"

No one would understand that the interrogative sentence was used for this "wait", but this is not important anymore.Because when the pale gold suddenly flows into the middle of the three wands, the brilliance of the curse that was ready to be cast suddenly extinguishes from the tips of both sides.

"Harry, Hermione..." That was Luna, "It's okay."

At this moment, Harry and Hermione were both dumbfounded.Because they didn't expect that Luna, who was still in a daze just now, would suddenly rush out and just stick in the most dangerous place.

"Lu——"

"nothing."

Luna's repeating again interrupted Hermione's call.

Only at this moment, Hermione was stunned to realize that the African wizard who was standing on the other side of Luna had also dropped his odd wand.Although she couldn't see the real expression due to the colorful oil on the opponent's face, Hermione felt that for no reason, the "shameless" African wizard should also be greatly relieved.

"What...what is going on?"

Harry’s words probably already represented the aspirations of everyone present.
