Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

"Luna... stop playing, come out! I have something to tell you."

When Maca suddenly spoke and said this to the statue, everyone saw that at first everyone could only look at the staring statue and slowly lowered their heads.

And as the hands of the statue deformed slightly, the silver double helix that had rushed straight into the sky finally disintegrated inch by inch in everyone's eyes, turned into flowing silver, poured down, and merged into the body of the mercury statue.

Then, the brilliance of the sky also weakened, until the whole town was restored to a large area of ​​dimness illuminated only by street lights.

The next moment, a foot stretched out from the inside of the statue, dangling as if looking for a foothold.

When Maca saw it, he had no choice but to smile, and then reached out and grabbed the other's ankle, guiding Luna to the edge of the base of the statue.

"Come out!"

When Maca whispered again, Luna inside seemed to realize that Maca was guarding in front, and suddenly no longer had any scruples, stepped on the base very neatly and jumped out directly.

At that moment, Luna's slightly curled long hair was fluttered by the statue's mercury, and when she turned over her head with inertia, she threw her teeth and claws towards Maca's face.

"Eh!"

Upon seeing this, Maca hurriedly caught her with open arms, and was knocked back half a step by her.And the long blond hair covered his head even more.

"What are you jumping? Can't you walk well?"

Having said that, he still put Luna gently on the ground first, and then flung away the hair that was shaking her head and face, and then he stretched out his index finger and poked her smooth forehead.

"I know!" Luna stroked her hair carelessly and said without sincerity, "I will definitely use it next time."

"And next time?"

Maca rolled his eyes helplessly, but soon, he couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile.

"Well, it seems there really is'next time'."

After such a mutter, he turned around and spread his arms towards the asylum seekers gathered in the square and said loudly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, please go back and rest! With regard to this statue, I will do some'little' attempts next. If you continue to stay here, it may be a little dangerous—"

Because of the use of the sound reinforcement mantra, not only the people in front could hear these words, but even those standing on the periphery could hear them clearly.Needless to say, Maca's words were obviously very useful, and after his mention, the crowd quickly dispersed.

Of course, if you have to stay, there can be no "danger".

Not long after, only Maca, Luna and Ron, who had just risen from the ground, were left in the square.

"This is... you are all at this point, and you ran out and wandered around." Maca looked at Ron and Luna and couldn't help but reminded, "Starting tomorrow, when everyone is almost settled, there is still a lot to do. …You will definitely not be able to run by then, so it’s better to sleep well tonight and keep your spirits up."

"Oh, I know, but—"

Ron looked at Luna's innocent face in distress, and after thinking about it, he quietly swallowed back what he wanted to say.

"Well, anyway," he scratched his head, "I just can't sleep... And, Hermione and the others went to help take care of the wounds from St. Mungo, she didn't let me... Uh, I mean, Did not let us go."

"Really?" Maca couldn't help but pause when he heard the words, "Hermione... Well, they should take a break first."

With such emotion, he put the stall aside in advance, and turned to look at Luna who was still peeking at the mercury statue.

"Don't look, you have to go in anyway, turn your head around and listen to me." Maca patted her on the shoulder, and then said, "Let's talk about it! What is it like inside, and what's the discomfort? ?"

Although it is true, he actually has a high evaluation of this statue, after all, it is definitely a relatively outstanding work in the history of alchemy.

However, the way to pack a large living person into mercury always makes people feel a little worried.

After all, through another inspection when the statue was in operation just now, he found that there were not many people who could make the thing work. It was a coincidence that Luna was encountered this time.

In fact, Babur, the craftsman and alchemist who made this statue, was originally a statue tailored for the lady Miranda.So today, if you want to activate this statue, you must find a woman who fits well with Miranda's spirit.

For example, Luna, who is pure-minded and kind-hearted.

"Uncomfortable?" When Maca asked how she felt inside the statue, Luna shook her head immediately, "No? After entering, I only felt that my eyes were dark, and then I could see things again soon. ...Well, it's as if I have become that statue myself! It's amazing!"

"Well," Maca nodded, as if knowing that there must be a follow-up, and then asked, "What then?"

"Well," Luna thought about it for a while, and then replied, "Then... I suddenly felt that I could do many, many things. For example, just now, I ordered a whole town that is brighter than the moon. light bulb'!"

"Of course, I saw it!" Maca shrugged, "It's not just me, I think everyone in the town has seen it! But...is there anything else interesting? Like... if this town suffers When the'bad guys' attacked, what can you do?"

"Ah!" Luna suddenly said when she heard it, "There is...If I were in that statue, I should be able to put up a big shield for the whole town! You know, it's the one that safely guards the curse. Kind."

"Is that so..."

Maca pondered, thought for a while, and then said:

"Can you feel, where did the protective cover come out?"

"'Where comes out'?"

His question seemed to stump Luna all at once.After Luna lowered her head and thought hard for a while, she slowly raised her head and pointed to her feet uncertainly.

"Maybe...maybe...under the feet of the statue?"

"You mean the base of the stone sculpture?"

"No, no, I have to go down--" Luna shook her head, "It should be deeper."

After Maca heard it, he finally nodded with satisfaction, then opened his arms and patted behind Luna and Ron.

"Okay, you can go back-take a good rest, have you heard?"

"Eh?"

Luna heard this, Dang even twisted her mouth reluctantly and said:

"Didn't you say you can go in and play?"

"Oh," Maca smiled as if it were only now in retrospect, "I thought it was like this, but it's no longer needed."

"You big liar!"

Luna immediately stared at him and wrinkled her nose, then pursed her mouth, and turned her head away in anger.
