Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

? "Dear students, please pay attention!"

At the end of the dinner time that day, Professor McGonagall stood up suddenly and said something, which immediately attracted the attention of most of the students.

"I think everyone has learned a lot about our school’s past major events in the history of magic. For example, the Triwizard Tournament held in the previous year was one of them. And everyone knows that many schools Level activities have been put on hold for a long time due to various reasons in history..."

"To be honest, most of those activities will obviously be of great help to your study, but as a professor and principal at Hogwarts, I cannot let everyone experience one by one. This makes me feel very Ashamed."

"However, recently, with the help of our temporarily resigned professor of ancient magic, Mr. MacLean, and the discussion at the meeting of the International Federation of Wizards... Finally, another large-scale school event may go smoothly. It's on!"

Before Professor McGonagall could finish speaking, the little wizards below began to boil.

For children, it is undoubtedly boring to stay in class every day and concentrate on writing.On this point, even the most powerful professor is difficult to change.

At this time, an extraordinary activity will become the most appropriate catharsis for these energetic girls and boys.

And if this activity has no educational significance, it is a wonderful thing to learn and relax.

"Quiet! Be quiet!"

Professor McGonagall's majesty was still there, and she suddenly raised her hand and pressed it, and the suddenly noisy auditorium became quiet again.In those twin sparkling eyes, there was expectation.

What event is it?

Is it the Magic School Potions Championship?Or the European Young Wizards Dueling Competition?Will it always be the minor competition of the All England Gobish Championship?If that were the case, it would be too shabby!

I don't know if it was because of Professor McGonagall's example of the Triwizard Tournament, or because of the young wizards' young, aggressive and aggressive nature, every game kept circling in everyone's mind.

"It can't be the Potions Championship!" Hermione didn't have much interest in this kind of activities. She poured cold water on the side and whispered, "Since the finals of the finals, there have been contestants because of a frying pan. After creating a large swamp of vicious swamp that cannot be eliminated until now, the Potions Championship will never be restarted! You know, including the Muggles who were accidentally injured, the number of deaths in that game reached an unprecedented number. Three digits!"

"Oh! What kind of potion are you refining?" Ron immediately shivered, looking suspicious.

"Look, just listening to it is scary, right?" Hermione shrugged. "As for why the potion fryer made a swamp... There is no detailed site record, because everyone who knows it has been lost forever. In that swamp in northern Europe!"

Just as Hermione lowered her voice to tell everyone about the sporadic records of that game, Professor McGonagall on the faculty seat cleared her throat slightly, and then said loudly:

"This upcoming event is a school tour program that was terminated due to the war! Some people may know that this is a school event with a very long history. It already existed when Hogwarts was founded— The study tour not only allows you to have a general overview of the customs and scenery around the world, but also allows you to see all kinds of unheard of local magic and magical creatures that have never been seen..."

After a little mention of the significance of this activity, McGonagall turned to:

"If it is strictly in accordance with the practice, the study tour plan should be a teaching activity that every student can participate in in the sixth grade. However, considering that this activity has not been held for a long time, this time will be participated by the entire school!"

"...After the International Wizarding Federation Education Department issues the approval document, the specific announcement will be posted on the notice board in the hall. If there are students who are unable to participate for some reason, please remember to submit the relevant application in advance! In addition- "

Before McGonagall finished speaking, the little wizards below started to make noise again—studying?Isn’t that about traveling around the world?This sounds so cool!

And this time, even Hermione got a little excited.Because she has liked to travel around since she was a child, almost every few years, her parents would take her to take advantage of the holidays to take her out of the country and appreciate the scenery abroad.

What's more, this study tour is a wizard tour... Needless to say, it must be more interesting than the Muggle tour!

Professor McGonagall, who was interrupted by the last sentence, saw that the scene was more turbulent than before, which forced her to take out her wand and wave it, making a "crack" sound.

After finally making the big guys quiet again, she added:

"...Since this study tour plan needs to travel around the world, Hogwarts will uniformly send parental submissions to all families. Only students who have their parents' signatures can participate in the activities normally! Okay, today’s This is the end of the dinner time. Now, please lead the students back to the common room with the heads of all levels! Good night, fellow students!"

As soon as the voice fell, Professor McGonagall left the faculty chair and left without looking back.

"Oh-I knew it! Parent's signature... Mom can't worry about me wandering around the world!"

"Yeah! It's bad this time, why is there such a thing?"

All of a sudden, the Hogwarts auditorium became a chaos, and the yellers one after another.Some students whose parents have always been enlightened were cheering, and some students who consciously couldn't participate wailed all over the field, making people feel like entering a bar at one or two in the morning.

"Professor McGonagall went so fast!"

Maca sat at the back of the faculty seat, looking at the back of McGonagall on the side door and quickly disappearing, he couldn't help but grinned.

No way, this activity really requires parental consent.If the students are allowed to run so far without their parents knowing, no matter whether there is an accident or not, it will be the school's fault.

If some parents disagree with their children's participation this time, they have to give that group of students a small holiday with homework.

Well, I hope those little wizards won't resent too much!

...

On the second morning when Professor McGonagall announced the study tour plan, the special interview of the "Daily Prophet" was published on the front page, with a magical photo of Maca and Minister of Magic Scrimgeour being interviewed. .

In this interview report, not only the important news about the restart of the Hogwarts study tour plan was specifically marked, but some discussion content about the current situation was also included.

In particular, there is a part about Maca’s views on the "Despicable Helbo", an ancient black wizard who has returned. The Daily Prophet even spares no expense. Even the second page is occupied by about one-fifth. Area.

Undoubtedly, this is the first time Maca has publicly published his views on Haierbo, including the differences between ancient wizards and modern wizards, and the similarities and differences between ancient magic and modern spells, which are mentioned in the article.

If you have to summarize these contents, it is actually not complicated:

"Ancient magic is not as scary and mysterious as everyone thinks. According to my research, modern spells are actually another form of ancient magic. Don’t think that ancient magic is better than Helbo after seeing the power of Helbo. Modern spells are more clever, it's just Helbo's personal strength..."

"More importantly, even Helbo is not a wizard standing on the pinnacle of magic. To me, his level is actually almost the same as that of Professor Dumbledore, but the two of them have different research directions. That's the difference."

This is what Maca said in the interview. The professional ethics of the female reporter was obviously better than that of Rita Skeeter, and she almost copied Maca's comments in the newspaper.

Maca would say this, naturally to dispel the fear of Helbo, or the ancient wizards, in the hearts of ordinary wizards.But from a certain point of view, what he said was actually the truth, but he deliberately omitted some necessary explanations.

For example, due to the serious lack of urges for war in the modern magical world, it can be said that it is hard to reach the sky if a modern wizard who is good at fighting is born.

Without years of accumulation, it is almost impossible to rely on modern spells to defeat Haierbo.

"Oh! Maca is so good! Look, "Modern magic spells are not really different from ancient magic. As long as you learn the depths, you can play a powerful force."...Think of Macata Isn't that the way you are? It's just a floating curse that can actually hold a stone monument as huge as a hill in his hand!"

When the students were excited about the study tour, they did not forget to express their amazement at the other interviews of Maca.But when Hermione and others read these reports, they were not as excited as the other students.

"I always think... Maca's words are a little evasive, don't they?" Neville asked softly while flipping through the newspaper.

"Well," Hermione nodded, "I think anyone who has seen those major disasters with his own eyes will understand the horror of Helbo... But Maca is actually right. It should be just Helbo. It’s just that it’s powerful, which doesn’t mean that ancient magic is more powerful than modern spells."

Being able to live from ancient times to the present is not dead, this is no longer something ordinary people can do. It can be seen that Haierbo was already regarded as a leader among wizards in ancient times.

However, the current problem is not the strength of ancient and modern magic, but the victory or defeat of Maca and Helbo.

Suddenly, Ron, who stared at the newspaper silently from the beginning, suddenly said:

"At least what I can see in this interview is not just Maca's discussion of ancient magic and ancient wizards... isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, a group of friends looked at him one after another.
