Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Chapter 1032: A Deadly Joke

? "Did you think of something?"

Seeing that the tavernkeeper seemed to recall something through the conversation with Maca, Maca raised his eyebrows and asked.

And immediately, without him urging, he explained to the convenience:

"That's it... You mentioned Hufflepuff as a guest just now, didn't you? I suddenly remembered that my friend Martin had just returned from abroad some time ago and came to my pub to talk about the past. Oh. He was also Hufflepuff's back then, the same as me."

"Really?" Maca nodded, "Could it be... something strange happened to your friend?"

"That's right!" the boss Ted immediately continued, "Martin has always achieved good results in spells and defense against the dark arts. Soon after graduation, he was hired by a foreign family as a private curse clerk—— Are you also a Hogwarts student? Don’t you think this is a rare and outstanding performance for Hufflepuff?"

"Well, it does."

Maca didn't comment too much on this, just smiled and agreed.

Of course, this boss obviously didn't talk about these things in order to praise his friends.After briefly introducing that Martin, he immediately said:

"In fact, when he returned to China before, it was mainly for work. At that time, I remember that after the disaster in the city, the family that hired him wanted him to come and check the current situation of the British magical world, saying that it was necessary to Several shops set up here are temporarily closed and closed..."

As the boss said, although the British magic world is gradually returning to its original state through Maca's efforts, ordinary wizards have also felt much more at ease.

But like some larger wizard families, they still cannot be as optimistic as commoners.

Under the gradual water surface, many pairs of smart eyes are continuously watching.As long as the confrontation between Maca and Helbo is still stalemate, no one can guarantee what choice will eventually be made from the standpoint of those forces.

Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages obviously exists everywhere, and Maca will not be surprised at all.

After mentioning this little incident, the tavern owner seemed to realize that he was a little off topic, and immediately apologized to Maca.

"I'm sorry, I often do this, and I forget what I was going to talk about!" He said, "Well, did you mention Martin as a curse solver? You know, you know, this kind of work is basic. It's dealing with curses, evil curses, and the like. But actually..."

The boss was talking, he paused suddenly, and then said:

"Martin had already circled around here before he came to me. When he was drinking with me that day and reminiscing about the old days, he seemed to talk about what remains of the spell he found about half a mile away-I In fact, I didn't care at the time. Now when you talk to the guests, I realized that there seems to be such a thing!"

"Half a mile away?" Maca frowned slightly. "Where did your friend tell you exactly?"

Hearing Maca asked about the detailed location, the boss Ted habitually raised his head and recalled again for a long while.

"It seems to be in the northwest?" He hesitated, and shook his head after a moment. "I can't remember the rest... Oh, Martin said that I saw an old Muggle factory there!"

"Thank you, that's enough!"

Maca nodded again, smiled and thanked.

"Trouble you... I'm sorry to make you say so much." He said and beckoned to the windbreaker wizard on the opposite side, "Give me the menu again. I can take care of the boss's health. "

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly smiled at the menu he was holding.

"It looks like it's not needed anymore."

Wizards generally don’t take much time to cook, and this is naturally thanks to the original Helga Hufflepuff who liked to study cooking spells.

Although none of her recipes seem to be handed down,

Not long after, the dining table where Maca and the windbreaker wizard were seated was filled with various delicacies.

To be honest, Maca didn't know why the windbreaker wizard would order so many dishes at once.But it doesn't matter. From the time he and the other party get along, we can understand that there must be a reason for the other party to do this.

Because in his impression, this unidentified witch, on the other hand, is a pretty frugal person on weekdays.

Of course, more importantly, he really doesn't care much about this Jin Jialong now-honestly, if everything can be solved by money!

However, just over ten minutes later, Maca suddenly understood why she ordered such a large number of dishes.

"No problem?" Looking at the windbreaker wizard opposite, he couldn't help asking, "Is it possible, are you really planning to fill this table of dishes in your stomach?"

"Huh?" When the other party heard Maca's question, the hand holding the fork suddenly paused, "Ah, I'm sorry... Am I too good to eat?"

At this time, Maca actually wanted to say that he had never seen a normal person with such a large appetite in his life-this is probably comparable to the giant hybrid of Shanghai Ge?

"No, it's okay, just eat it--" Maca couldn't laugh or cry, "It's a good thing to be able to eat, but you can order more if it is not enough!"

At this point, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

"I'm afraid you haven't eaten enough? Why, in front of others, you know to be polite, and it's okay with me? In other words, my gaze is not important at all?"

He said this naturally as a joke.

After all, although it's really rare for people to eat so much, any weird things can happen in the magical world, and it's really not surprising.

However, the windbreaker wizard seemed to take Maca's joke seriously.After a short pause, as if to resolve this "misunderstanding" anyway, he explained vigorously:

"No, that's not the case! You are really very, very important to me! The reason I am here in front of you is because you are mine—"

Maca really didn't expect it, it was just a small joke, it almost caused the other party's patience so far to fall short.

Fortunately, at the last moment, she seemed to remember her mission here now, and gritted her teeth and swallowed the words that she was about to blurt out.

"Okay," Maca said with a wry smile at the time, "it's my fault, I shouldn't be joking casually-eat! Forget all that just now, and continue to eat! I will forget all of them."

While Maca felt somewhat regretful, the windbreaker wizard couldn't help but pursed his mouth, and pulled the brim of his forehead lower.

I almost said it, just a tiny bit!

If you have exposed your identity here, what can you do with so much effort before?

Yes, after coming here and seeing this person in front of me, the emotions deeply buried in my heart have been surging.But even so, for the ultimate goal, he must continue to persevere.

After that, there was a sudden silence between the two.After Maca filled his stomach, while drinking coffee, he watched silently as the other party stuffed all the rest of the meal into his mouth.

"...Really finished it all."

After secretly making a complaint, Maca greeted the boss Ted to check out, and while thanking again, he left the change as a tip after the meal.

A few minutes later, while taking a windbreaker wizard on the street outside, Maca suddenly asked casually:

"how does it taste?"

"Yes, it's very delicious." The windbreaker wizard next to him nodded immediately.

"Well, I think so too..." Maca thought for a while, "Then, let's go back to Hogwarts!"

"Huh?" Hearing this, the other party couldn't help but wonder, "Mr. McLean, didn't the boss just say something suspicious? It's not night yet, so why don't we go and have a look--"

"No, you don't have to look for that place." Even though Maca shook her head, interrupted her, "There is nothing there."

...

And at the same time that Maca uttered those words, in the Hanged Man Tavern.

The owner Ted was standing in the kitchen in the deepest part of the tavern at this moment, looking at the portrait hanging on the wall, a stern flash flashed in his eyes.

"Old lady, step aside! Make room for my teacher!"

Before the words were over, the old lady Glyman, who originally occupied the frame, shrank away tremblingly, revealing a wooden door hidden behind her.

As the wooden door in the magical portrait creaked and pushed open, a figure wrapped in black flames suddenly appeared from it.

"Please allow students to show the highest respect to the teacher!"

"Well... these words don't need to be said more." A voice rang from the boss's mind, "Remember what I told you, this door can only be opened every 13th-say it, happen What's the matter?"

The boss Ted heard the words and hurriedly explained:

"That's it! As the teacher expected, that McLean finally came to this tavern just now and asked me some questions. I have just given him a completely unrelated clue as the teacher said."

"Did he doubt it?"

"Of course," the tavernkeeper nodded immediately. "I'm just an ordinary wizard. I haven't even learned the dark magic. How could he notice any problems?"

"That's good," the shadow said, "rest assured, once my purpose is completed, you can learn any magic... Hmph, a young man like you who is both talented and knows to study hard, I am I can't appreciate it..."

Before the words were over, the tavern owner also showed an excited smile.
