Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

"Yeah!"

Suddenly, Luna, who was sitting on the base of the mercury statue in the center of the square, couldn't help but whispered, causing Neville, who was not far away, to look back quickly.

"what happened?"

"Oh, nothing," Luna said with a shake of her hand. "The bracelet Maca gave me suddenly got hot. Probably... those bad things are coming soon, right?"

Upon hearing this, Neville couldn't help squeezing the magic wand in his hand.

"Is it finally here?"

"Yes!" Luna said as she stood up, patted the dust on her butt and said, "Since Maca gave the signal, it's time to get ready."

Before she finished her words, Neville watched her climb up the pedestal briskly, and stretched out her hand to the mercury statue with thousands of postures like a living creature.

Soon, Luna was slowly wrapped in those bright and soft mercury, and the whole person got into it.

After a while, the originally vague face of the mercury statue seemed to have the delicate outline of Luna's face.

"Getting there... don't you feel out of breath?"

Just as Neville was muttering in his heart, he saw that the statue that became more and more like Luna suddenly raised his arms.And then, two magic shields began to form over the statue one after another, and quickly spread toward the edge of the spiral town.

...

"Mr. Lupin, the army of living corpses has broken into the city of Canterbury, and is fast approaching here!"

"Got it."

In the lobby on the ground floor of the New Ministry of Magic, the previous busyness has calmed down, and all personnel are no longer in a hurry.Because up to now, everyone has done everything that should be done, and even if there are any omissions, they can only be adjusted according to the temporary judgments of the leaders of Lu Ping.

"Transfer the news to Minister Shaker immediately! Be ready to open all protective measures...but don't worry about it for now, just wait for McLean's signal."

"Yes!"

Several of the sorcerers who were standing by, after clarifying Lupin's meaning, responded at the same time, and then immediately left the hall.

After the people who passed the news went out, Lu Ping turned his head and looked down at the sand table of Spiral Town. At this moment, the layout of the town was already clear.

Those Kingsley's clean-up teams who withdrew from the front line had already guarded the intersection of the four directions of Spiral Town together with the support wizards of the Federation.Although there is only one entrance, if even Helbo comes, no one can predict which direction they will attack from.

In addition to the wizards, the wild elves who were fooled by Maca from the island have also stationed at the edge of the town. They are responsible for the sky above the town.

Of course, before the army of living corpses can enter the town, the first thing they need to overcome is obviously the defense of two magic shields.

Thinking of this, Lupin turned his head suddenly, and happened to see that two translucent magic films were already spreading in the originally dark sky.The two shields of different colors overlap each other, emitting a faint brilliance, and at first glance they are more gorgeous than the aurora of the north and south poles.

"Come on! Success or failure depends on tonight..."

While whispering like this, Lupin couldn't help but gradually grasped the magic wand in his palm.

...

When the army of living corpses came, no one in Spiral Town could help but gradually tighten their nerves.But there are only two people, but they are not thinking about how they should guard the town and destroy the enemy in the future.

One of them is Maca, who has always maintained his composure except for Hermione’s injury, even when he was severely injured and unconscious, and afterwards he could not use both arms.

As for another person, it is probably the "good daughter" Delphi that Maca got by accident.

Right now, she was staying in the central square of the town like Neville...or rather, staying by Luna's side.Whenever Neville accidentally looked back at the other side of the Mercury statue, she was bound to see her staring at the statue that was one with Luna in a daze.

Neville didn't know what Delphi was thinking, and... Maybe the girl was so beautiful that Neville had never dared to talk to each other.

But even if he didn't speak, Neville could see it to some extent. Delphic seemed to have a lot of thoughts hidden in his heart, and it was difficult to tell others.

As a bad-spoken person, Neville knew very well that if this state continued for too long, he would suffer from illness. He himself was a good example before.

"Delph... uh, miss?"

Using a somewhat nondescript form of address as the beginning of the conversation made Neville feel very awkward.

But there is no way, because Delphi has hardly told others about his surname. At least Neville obviously doesn't know it.

After all, if she were to choose, she would definitely hope that others would call herself "Miss McLean", but this would be difficult to explain to others.

Needless to say, in that case, others will definitely misunderstand the relationship between her and Maca.

"Well?"

Hearing Neville speaking on the other side, Delphi then moved his gaze away from the statue and looked to the other side.

"Mr. Longbottom, what's the matter?"

"Oh, no... it's just that the enemy will arrive outside the town at any time. We should be careful and concentrate more."

Neville said so, but then he shook his head again:

"Ah! I'm sorry, I forgot that your strength is much stronger than mine... Maybe for you, my suggestion doesn't have much reference value at all..."

"No, please don’t [UU Reading 00kxs]. The strength of Mr. Longbottom can also be regarded as a leader in the modern magic world! Well, you are right, I just thought about things too much. Up."

Sense of distance!

To be honest, Neville didn't want to have such a deep friendship with the other party, and he is now a person with a girlfriend, so naturally he would not think about those who have none.

Not to mention, girls like Delphi who look "cold" in every way are the most difficult type for Neville.

However, let’s not talk about it. At least for Maca’s sake, Neville still hopes to be able to make friends with the other party and will probably fight together next time. He doesn’t want to even talk to the other party is still very difficult. Things.

It's a pity that the kind of rejection and rejection exuding from Delphi made the two of them feel a sense of distance after talking.

"This feeling of alienation... Since when did it become more intense?"
