Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

"...Maca...save them...save them, jerk Maca..."

"As long as you can save them this time, I will do what you say in the future, and never fight with you again..."

"...Maca."

In the afternoon, when Maca was listening to all aspects of the game report in the competition coordinating office, Lu Ping from the Black House collectively appeared at the door.

It was only a little surprised that Lenny, who had always been a little too lively, came in at the end with her head hanging down this time.And her sister Lena, who always hugged her, never let go.

After the calmest Lupin clarified the matter, Laini seemed to be unable to suppress the guilt and pain in her heart anymore, and rushed over to hold Maca's arm and cried.

All along, her tears are like the most precious treasure in her life, and it is never easy for people to see.And things like this are often the purest, sincere, and crystal clear.

"Maca...Save them."

The children were taken away, and a total of seven children who remained in the Black House homeless were all taken away except for Isla, who was not so gregarious.

In fact, Lupin found the place easily.Because there was still the corpse of an alienated eight-eyed giant spider, stray limbs and chubby torso, and several shattered humanoid stone statues, revealing a fierce battle.

As for the outcome of the battle, it is self-evident.

"I see, Leni," Maca patted the crying little girl on the head, "You have worked very hard, although I want to say to you,'You did nothing wrong'... But we We all know that we did something wrong, didn't we?"

"But I think your fault is not to take them away or leave them in an unsafe place. This fault does not belong to you..."

"During this period of time, Hill and their changes, Lupin has told me, so, I also understand...You are really growing up and can be a great'sister'... No, you are now working for Hill. They are worried about you, who are guilty. You are already a great sister."

Having said this, Maca gently separated the hands that Lenny was holding his arm tightly, and pressed her shoulder to look at her misty tearful eyes.

"Do you know now? Where did you go wrong?"

After that, Maca straightened up and nodded at Lupin and Sirius.

"My spider died there, right?" he asked with a slight frown, "is the corpse still there?"

"Ah... um." Lupin nodded immediately, "I'm still there, I'll meet them before I have time to clean up, and then we decided to come directly to you."

"Okay," Maca thought for a moment, and then said, "You and Sirius immediately contact the members who can be dispatched to explore, and don't worry about whether they will be known by the other party-of course, you can still ensure your safety first. Important business. As for the place of the matter, it is up to me to check it... Take action!"

"...Uh, Mr. McLean?"

When Maca was about to go out with Lupin and the others, the assistant wizard assigned to him by the International Wizarding Federation came to him and stopped him with some embarrassment.

"Sorry, I have to leave," Maca waved his hand. "But I can recommend someone to replace me-you can go to the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, Sev Professor Les Snape will help you with your work."

As Maca talked and walked outside, the assistant suddenly turned his head back.

"Mr. McLean," he hesitated, "then...the two ladies inside?"

"Let them stay in there for a while!" Maca whispered, "Don't worry, they are not unfamiliar to Hogwarts. After they come out for a while, just take them to the castle."

At this moment, Laini, who was still standing still, suddenly turned around and plunged into her sister Lena's arms.

"I'm sorry," she cried out loudly, "I always make you worry, time and time again...really, really sorry...this...this is my fault, my biggest fault. Just like me Now I'm worried about sister Hill and the others...no, you must be more...more..."

Feeling the emotions conveyed by the sister in her arms through her body temperature and the intermittent words, Lena, who has always had no excessive expressions, also pressed her lips together.

...

Maca, who abandoned the alchemy event, could not find any clues where the children were taken away.Well, it's not accurate to say that, but...there are clues, but there are no traces left.

From the very beginning after being designed to escape by the prophet old man, except that he trapped two black-robed cultists with a fake Edward butler, he really hadn't caught any real clues.

He could feel that the old man was like a slippery loach.And an opponent like this is undoubtedly difficult to deal with... As far as the current predicament is concerned, "waiting for the opponent to collide" has become the most unrealistic but also the most practical means of breakthrough.

Therefore, Maca simply let go of the members of the Order of the Phoenix to search and explore.

Because he knew that since the other party chose to take the children away, it means that the other party's purpose is probably to threaten and trade.Then, he decided to send a signal to the other party through a fanfare search-he was urgent and willing to accept this deal that would obviously become very unfair.

Time, a little bit past, the afternoon schedule came to an end quickly.Under Maca's previous proposal, the second round of the game was indeed much more interesting than yesterday, and Snape, as Maca's temporary agent, was also very efficient in handling many matters one by one.

The only pity is that Maca, who has made a lot of contributions to the competition, only saw a small part of this morning.

In the evening, Maca, who had been busy outside all afternoon, finally returned to Hogwarts.

Of course, he didn't come back this time for the alchemy competition, but to prepare something for being able to accept the other party's request to meet at any time.

If he hadn't guessed the intention of the old man wrong, then the other party would definitely find a way to contact him and coerce him into the transaction.Naturally, the place of the transaction would never be Hogwarts.

As for what the other party wants, whether it is Nico Lemay's alchemy legacy or the painful dagger that is not in his hands... No matter what he should do, he will have to prepare first.

"Maca, do you need me to find someone to help you investigate? Although I can't walk away, I still have some old friends who can help you..."

"No, no more."

The appearance of Professor McGonagall did not exceed Maca's expectations.From the moment he left the sisters Lenny and Lena at Hogwarts, he knew that Professor McGonagall would know about it sooner or later.

"Professor, your responsibility is much heavier than mine." Maca leaned on his desk and did what he was doing, without even lifting his head, because he knew that McGonagall didn't care about the politeness, "and , This time it’s not a matter of manpower...If it is really necessary, I will go to you."

"Really—" Professor McGonagall nodded, "Well, I think you already have your own way...but remember, you must be careful, because strong power is obviously not the only way to achieve your goal. "

McGonagall's words are actually an explanation of the status quo.This incident was a typical sudden incident. If Rita Skeeter hadn't accidentally discovered an abnormality and found him soon, maybe he would have waited until someone came to detect it.

And that old man's own strength, in terms of the intensity of the magic fluctuations he sensed, was far inferior to his own.Although he felt something strange about the prophet, it didn't make him stronger than himself, otherwise he wouldn't try to threaten him by taking away people around him.

"Professor, I see..." Maca wrote a few more symbols on the parchment, then raised his head and said seriously, "I will pay attention."

After speaking, Maca immediately reinvested in the intense preparation work.

After all, it is impossible for him to guess when the other party will contact him. Naturally, these prior preparations should be completed as soon as possible.

However, to be honest, he has already seized the time enough, and he has considered a lot of things in such a short time.But he still didn't expect that the other party seemed to be more anxious than his side.

While Professor McGonagall was still in his office, and he hadn't even finished his words, Filch stumbled in from the corridor outside.

"The principal, Professor McLean...whoop... at the school gate... at the school gate... many people..."

"who?"

Professor McGonagall asked immediately, and Maca frowned and raised his head again.

"I, I don't know... They are all wearing black robes..." Filch may have also felt some external malice, and said with a trembling mouth, "There is also a white robe in the middle. It's big...looks like a head, they have a few little guys in their hands..."

"Come so fast? And even he appeared in person..." After hearing Filch's description, Maca couldn't help being a little surprised, and then quickly became solemn again, "He escaped so decisively last time. Neat, let me see, that old man is not like someone who dares to expose himself to danger...something is wrong!"

Having said this, he suddenly stood up.Behind him, the sky outside the window has gradually dimmed, and on the eastern sky wall, a few dim stars are faintly blue.
