Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 1221 Broken Hourglass
"...I have to say that as of now, I don't know what the right choice is. But what I want to tell you is that I will respect every choice you make as much as possible."
"Including myself, I think everyone should act and live in the way they want. Whether it’s pain or happiness, it’s us who experience everything from beginning to end, because it’s always Our own future."
"So at least I think that we should respect the choices of others, and we should take responsibility for our own choices."
In the ward, Maca stood by Luna's bed and spoke these words to the friends gathered in the room.
To be honest, this was indeed his heartfelt words, Luna, Hermione, Willie, etc., a truth that everyone around him gradually understood.
Even if he didn't fully understand this truth himself, it might even be wrong at all.However, as he said, this is actually the choice he made in the face of options.
And he will take the responsibility that belongs to him for his choice.
Having said that, Macka paused, then turned to:
"So, starting today, I won't interfere with your choices anymore... Including Harry, I think you must want to do something by yourself; Including Hermione, I won't deny all you have learned through suffering. I I just hope that everyone will think as carefully as possible and don’t let things happen that we don’t want to see.
"I see," Harry nodded when he heard Maca name himself, "I'll think about it again."
On the other side, after looking at Luna on the hospital bed, Hermione also nodded slightly:
"Yes, me too."
Immediately afterwards, the little friends expressed their understanding one by one, and even Harry and Ginny were lost in thought on the spot.
Upon seeing this, Maca waved his hand suddenly, and followed:
"Then, I should also do what I should do right now... No matter what everyone is going to do next, please remember and be careful!"
Regarding the external situation, everything Hermione and Pansy witnessed before can serve as a reference.
Maca believes that even if someone like Harry still wants to go out, he will definitely ask them both seriously to find out how dangerous London is at this moment.
No one here is so stupid as to be hopelessly stupid. After understanding the situation, surely anyone will wait and weigh it before making a decision.
Maca didn't speak any more, but saw that he held Luna's little pale hand tightly, and said softly in his heart:
"I'll leave first... you just wait here quietly, I will be back soon."
...
The time converter that has always been around has disappeared, which is undoubtedly a very worrying thing for Maca, who has always had a good memory.
Although he did rarely have the opportunity to organize his belongings, there were already many items piled up in the leather waist pouches on his waist with a large number of non-marking stretching curses.But no matter how many things, they are all thrown in them anyway, where will they go?
However, he just couldn't find where the problem was.
Of course, this is obviously not the time to think about these so-called doubts, because there are many more things he needs to consider.
Not long after, Maca bid farewell to all the friends in the ward and left the St. Mungo’s Magic Hospital in a hurry. Although Helbo was forced back by him, he stayed very carefully before leaving there. Many protective measures.
You know, before St. Mungo was used as a magic hospital, it was one of the only shelters for wizards in London.There are not only Hermione, Harry and others, but also more asylum seekers seeking temporary asylum, are they?
"Click."
After a while, as the door of Black's old house rang softly, the door was slowly opened from the outside.
Immediately afterwards, the figure of Maca immediately walked in from the door.
The appearance of this front hall has not changed much after his original cleaning and renovation, it is still so neat and bright.
After entering, Maca did not stop at first.But after hearing a rush of hurried footsteps, he still paused here for a while.
"Oh... Dear Mr. McLean, you are welcome back... Old Kreacher is here to greet you."
Kreacher looks more old now, and he seems to be struggling to walk more than before.But after seeing Maca, he still bends down as deeply as before, lowering his head so that the tip of his nose touches the carpet.
"Well, I'm just having a temporary business this time. Come and pick up something. Do whatever you want. Don't pay attention to me, I'll leave in a while."
"Oh, old Kreacher knows, old Kreacher will go back to the kitchen to wipe the dirt—"
"Oh, it is a pity that Mr. McLean won't stay here! Without him, the mistress's house is only left with poor old Kreacher and a few uncultivated idiots... and They still have the face to stay at home every day..."
After those words, Kreacher was clearly complaining to himself again.
In fact, since the number of people living in the old house has increased and the family has become more and more lively, this problem of Kreacher has gradually improved.It's a pity that the number of people here has continued to decrease since then, so that his mumbling problem seems to be getting serious again.
Maca shook his head. Right now, there was no time to take care of the lonely Kreacher. Seeing that he didn't go to the reception room to disturb Mondungus who was struggling with intelligence inside, he turned and walked up the stairs.
The time converter is definitely an extremely important magic item.When Maca went to the Department of Mystery Affairs of the Ministry of Magic, he passed five in one go.
Of these five time converters, except for keeping one of them by his side, he hid the others in some relatively safe places.
As for the study on the upper floor of Black’s old house, he had lived here for a long time, so he left one of them here.
After entering the room, Maca just glanced casually-the books and information files that were originally piled up here were taken away, and the study naturally seemed a little empty, and there was nothing to look at.
But without so many obtrusive things, some of the furniture and furnishings that were originally here have suddenly become a lot more eye-catching, and the furnishings in the room can be seen clearly at a glance.
He just paused at the door, and then walked straight to the old grandfather clock placed in the corner of the study.
Things about time are of course hidden in the place that represents time.
This grandfather clock looks weather-beaten, but the maintenance of magic keeps it always at the most accurate point. Every swing of the pendulum can make people feel the preciousness and heaviness of time.
If you hide the time converter here, even if there is a wizard who can perceive magic and experience the rules, you may not be able to detect anything abnormal from it.
However, when Maca opened the crystal cover of the upper dial and reached out, his face changed.
Could it be that the time converter placed here is gone?
No, it is still there, but...
Maca didn’t take it with his hand anymore, but slightly raised his hand with a wave. Then he saw a slender and delicate gold chain, several gold rings with thin shafts, and a small piece that had been broken into pieces. Little hourglasses floated out of it one after another.
Of course, with these "parts" coming out together, there is also a fine black sand.
The hourglass of the original time converter was filled with golden sand, which had natural time rules. The converter was made based on this precious natural rule substance.
But now, they have completely failed.
"Kreacher—"
Maca stared at the badly damaged time converter and suddenly shouted.
There have been accidents in the time converter again and again, from the loss of one to the destruction of this one... If you say that this is an accident, it is absolutely impossible.
Who is it?Who is having trouble with him?Is this...is it possible that Haierbogan's "good thing" is again?
To be honest, no matter from which point of view you consider, Maca cannot deny this possibility.Because he knows very well that as an ancient wizard, Haierbo's "respect" and "awe" to the rules are definitely much deeper than him.
After experiencing that desperate experience, Maca actually didn't dare to touch such subtle things as the time converter.If it wasn't about Luna's life this time, I'm afraid he would never consider the harshness and ruthlessness of challenging the time rules again in his life.
So, let alone Helbo, who has a deep understanding of rule runes.
Thinking about it this way, when he didn't want Maca to use the time converter, but at the same time he didn't dare to use it in vain, Haierbo's choice was to destroy all these things.
Well, maybe I will leave one for myself?
Maca doesn't know, he only knows that things are getting worse and worse as he goes down step by step-if there is no time converter, what should he do?What should Luna do when she is getting colder in the hospital bed?
No, he really didn't dare to think about it.
"Kreacher!"
Maca turned around abruptly, and walked out quickly to the door of the study.
"Oh, dear Mr. McLean, may I ask—"
"Report all the guests who have been here-that is, people you don't know, one by one! Now, tell me immediately!"
"Maca?"
Just as Maca urged Kreacher, Mondungus suddenly appeared from the other side of the stairs, surreptitiously looking over here.
"Ah, it's really you here? I just heard you shouting Kreacher...what's the matter?"
