Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

The rest of the summer term was spent in a blazing sun.

Hogwarts has restored its former peace, and everyone no longer has to worry about it every day. And more importantly, this year's exams were cancelled, and the students were very happy about it-there seemed to be more leisure time.

But Maca's life became more compact because of this.

During the period at the end of the semester, he buried himself in the Room of Requirement every day to conduct various researches, and the subjects he studied became more profound and mysterious.

For example, the bloodline modification for the acromantia, or, for example, carrying Tom Riddle out for a while.

Previously, Riddle's remarks about swallowing fear and Dumbledore's sad past gave Maca a lot of inspiration.

He has a feeling that as long as the research continues in this direction, the correct solution will be obtained.

So the rest, maybe it's just a matter of time.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was time for the holiday again.

To be honest, every time Maca is on vacation, there is a feeling of not knowing where to go.

When a person without a home faces the date of going home, the sadness he lost is transformed into confusion.

It's just this summer vacation, but someone has already arranged a place for him.

...

London Heathrow International Airport.

Miss Blois, what's the matter with suddenly inviting me to your house?

Planting flowers.

...

Maca glanced at her and found that Willie was still expressionless, so he immediately gave up asking.

No way, she said planting flowers, so it must be planting flowers, there won't be any deep meaning hidden in it.

Maca remembered that the housekeeper once said that Willie's home was in the Château de Blois in Paris. You know, it is a famous royal castle. Although it has become a scenic spot now, if there is a wizard family living in it, the meaning of it will be very different.

What's more, the name of this castle is actually the same as Willie's surname.

After a period of flight, the plane landed smoothly on the runway of Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport.

Carrying her own suitcase, Maca helped Willie to pick up her checked luggage, and then they took the airport bus together to the Loire River.

When he stood at the gate of Blois Castle, he immediately rushed towards him with a unique aura.

This is a very peculiar castle building, its main body is a square surrounded by four wings.

Probably because each wing was built in a different age, they each have architectural styles of different periods, including Gothic architectural styles, Renaissance architectural styles and French Classical architectural styles.

When walking slowly in it, people often have the illusion of traveling in different eras.

As the pace progressed, Willie brought Maca to a large spiral staircase.

here.

As Willie said, she took out her wand and tapped on the handrail of the stairs. Immediately, the entire staircase slowly faded from top to bottom, turning into a dreamlike translucent staircase.

But the Muggles around didn't seem to be able to see the changes in the scene, they still acted as usual, and the changes didn't alarm anyone.

After the stairs were changed, Wei Li took the lead to walk up the translucent stairs. Her back gradually faded, and finally she disappeared from Maca's sight.

He quickly followed up.

After Maca walked up the spiral staircase a few times, he came to a large door on the second floor. The door is open, and the situation inside can be seen at a glance.

Willie was standing in the hall, and in front of her were two maids, talking in French.

And right at the door, the old housekeeper from last time looked at Maca with a smile.

Dear guest, welcome to Blois Castle. I welcome you on behalf of my master. The old housekeeper smiled and said, I'm sorry for your care of my young lady.

It's my honor, Mr. Housekeeper. Maca said politely, Your English is still so good.

You know, this is one of the abilities that a butler must have. The old butler blinked and said.

The servants of the Blois family worked very quickly, and they quickly arranged a guest room for Maca that could be moved in at any time. The room was large and luxuriously decorated.

In this castle, there are everywhere the emblem of the French royal family - the lily. From this point alone, it can be predicted that the relationship between the Blois family and the French royal family is by no means ordinary.

Looking out from the window of the room, you can vaguely see the phantoms of many Muggles, all of them are translucent. Here, Muggles and wizards are subtly separated by a strange magic.

Maca stared at the window for a while, and unconsciously lost himself in thinking—this has almost become a habit of his. As long as you see some magical magic, you will unconsciously start thinking about the mystery.

Boom boom

Suddenly, a slight knock on the door interrupted Maca's thoughts.

Come in, he said loudly.

The door was gently pushed open, and Willie walked in.

Planting flowers. She said bluntly.

...Okay. Maca had no choice but to nod.

Yes, this time I came here to work as a gardener for the Blois family, he understands, understands very well...

Maca thought that Willie would take him to a flower bed or somewhere else, but Willie took him all the way to the top of a remote tower.

Here, grow flowers? Maca asked.

Mother is allergic to flowers. Willie said calmly.

Willie said it was planting flowers, so it must be planting flowers. But the flowers to be planted this time are not flowers in the general sense.

This is... Rafaela's Dragon Kiss?

Rafaela Dragon's Kiss is a very peculiar plant, it always likes to grow in high places, and the means of cultivation are not complicated. But getting it to bloom is not an ordinary difficulty.

In other words, it's not ordinary money.

When Rafaela Dragon Kiss grows small turquoise flower buds, it needs to be irrigated with dragon blood every day. Different types of dragon blood can make it bloom different flowers, and each flower looks exactly like the dragon's mouth, and even breathes out the dragon's breath.

However, the price of dragon's blood has always been very expensive, each vial costs 12 Galleons. If it is irrigated with dragon's blood, at least hundreds of Galleons will be spent every day. Then calculate the time it takes for Rafaela's Dragon Kiss to bloom...

If you don't prepare tens of thousands of Galleons, you will never see the day when it blooms.

Yes, Rafaela Dragon Kiss. Willy was still so calm, I want to see what it looks like.

It is precisely because the conditions for this plant to bloom are too harsh, the rarity is simply maddening. But if you count the pharmaceutical value contained in the fruit of this plant, there are not no potion masters who are willing to spend tens of thousands of Galleons to cultivate it.

It's just that its seeds are also extremely precious, whether they can be bought is another matter!

It seems that it's really the right time to accompany you to 'plant flowers' this time. Maca shook his head and said.

By the time Maca and Willie finished their work here, the sun was already setting.

Under the setting sun, the two walked slowly on the square in the middle of the castle, their shadows trailing long behind.

At this time, the head of the Bulova family had returned, and he had a formal meeting with Maca.

You are welcome, Mr. McLean.

Willy's father was Eric Blois, a thin, serious-looking middle-aged man. He was dressed in formal clothes and always looked so serious. Even when he was talking to his daughter, his tone remained unchanged.

Although Mr. Blois is very handsome and has a very outstanding temperament, but like his own daughter, he seems to never show any expression on his face.

But at least, he was not as blatantly arrogant as Lucius Malfoy when he was entertaining guests. Although he kept his face sullen all the time, he did not mean to be negligent in his etiquette.

It can be seen that he is actually quite concerned about his daughter's study in the UK.

At the sumptuous dinner that night, Eric and Maca chatted about Willie, while Willie just watched them quietly, and the scene was quite harmonious.

This dinner is really the best meal Maca has had in these years. Leaving aside the stupid foods of British Muggles, even the Hogwarts dinner was not to Maca's liking.

But this meal at the Bulova's family made Maca a full feast.

Although he temporarily lost the pleasure of enjoying delicious food, his sense of taste did not follow.

At night, Maca sat at the desk in the guest room and opened his notebook again.

The environment here is really good, very suitable for doing some theoretical research.

He muttered casually, and then devoted himself to the various experimental data in his notebook.

...

Maca's life in the Bulova's house is very nourishing. Whether it is daily life or dining, there are servants to take care of him, and he doesn't have to worry about any trivial matters in life.

But during this period, probably on a certain day in August, an unprecedented event happened in Britain—Sirius Black escaped from prison!

Almost every wizard knows the name of this wizarding prison in England.

It is located on an isolated island in the middle of the North Sea, and its original inhabitant was an evil wizard named Extis. After his death, the building was discovered by the Ministry of Magic and transformed into an official wizarding prison.

In this famous prison, all the guards are a kind of indigenous dark creatures called dementors. Considered the ugliest things in the world, they feed on the happiness of other creatures and thus can leave those who come close to them feeling gloomy and hopeless.

But in extreme cases, they will also suck the soul of the creature, turning the creature into a state of walking dead. It can be said that no one would think of staying in this prison for even a quarter of an hour.

And this frightening and famous wizard prison is called Azkaban.
