Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Sirius Black.

Maca sat by the window, flipping through the belated Daily Prophet, and nodded thoughtfully.

What was going to happen next term wasn't his concern - that didn't matter to him. He just thought of a magic that had been giving him a headache from Sirius Black.

...Animagus.

To be honest, Maca has been studying the principles of Animagus. But even though he had already studied it thoroughly, he had to put it aside because his transfiguration had not yet met the requirements.

According to the information at hand, Animagus's transformation practice cannot be precisely controlled, so not only is the result unpredictable, but it is easier to become obsessed due to insufficient transformation ability.

This is undoubtedly quite dangerous.

Many wizards compare the practice of animagus to apparition, and this is entirely because of the danger involved.

But Maca, who has done in-depth research on these two kinds of magic, doesn't think so.

Regardless of whether the coordinates of apparition are confirmed to be accurate or not, at least a strong enough will can avoid the occurrence of splitting events.

But the practice of Animagus is completely different, its danger lies in the uncontrollability of the practice process.

And for Maca, who has always put caution first, if the dangerous enough magic is uncontrollable, it means failure-this is absolutely intolerable to him.

Whether in the past or the present, he has never changed in this regard.

After Maca studied hard for a long time, his level of transfiguration has actually reached the standard, but it is still far from the standard he expected in his heart.

In his view, the probability of failure still exists.

It's no wonder that the importance of 'courage' is marked on all the materials about Animagus... He shook his head and said, It's all because the required standards are too high. If you want to start practicing earlier, you can only Rely on luck.

He threw the newspaper in his hand on the table, then took a sip of black tea.

It's getting cold.

Maca was muttering, but heard a few knocks on the door. No need to ask, it must be Willie who came to see him again to see the seedlings of Rafaela's Dragon Kiss.

For nearly a month, Willie would come to him from time to time as if she had nothing to do. As the number of times increased, he gradually got used to it.

When he and Willie came to the top of the tower for a walk as usual, leisurely looking at the seedlings, looking at the scenery, and thinking about things. However, he discovered that the summer vacation had actually come to an end.

The growth cycle of Rafaela Dragon's Kiss is very long, and we can't wait for it to bear buds. Maca said, looking at the seedlings that had just emerged about 5 inches from the soil.

Ke Weili shook her head immediately.

I can see.

...summer vacation is coming to an end. Maca reminded.

Willie shook her head again after hearing this.

A year off, Willie said flatly.

Maka was taken aback for a moment, looked at Willy and asked, Skip off school? Why?

However, Willie stopped talking, just looked at the seedlings in the huge flower pot on the ground, lost in thought.

Since she didn't want to say it, and Maca wasn't the kind of person who chased after him, he quickly put the matter behind him.

To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the huge collection of books at Hogwarts and the Rowena Chamber of Secrets, Maca himself would have wanted to drop out of school!

Hogwarts is not a good place. Especially in the next few years, each year will become more chaotic, which is not conducive to the study and research of various magic.

However, it can be used as a good place for actual combat practice... Maca said to himself while lying on the railing and looking into the distance.

Soon, as the start date approached day by day,

Maca finally decided to leave here.

Before he left, he gave Willy another updated Herbal Notebook as a farewell present. It can be seen that although Willie still has no expression on her face, her actions when receiving the notebook showed her love for this gift.

Mr. Blois standing behind Willie, that is, Willie's father, saw his daughter's appearance, his eyes softened a lot. Perhaps for him, Willie's happy look is the scene he wants to see the most, even if it's just a very subtle expression.

...

When Maca arrived in London, England, there were only a few days left before the start of school.

He went to Knockturn Alley first and ordered a lot of potion materials.

But when he was carrying his suitcase and was about to go to Lihen Bookstore to buy new textbooks for the third grade, he ran into Harry at the door of the Quidditch boutique store.

Maca reached out and patted Harry on the shoulder.

Oh - Maca! Harry was startled, he turned around, the look of surprise on his face hadn't faded, Why are you here?

School is about to start, and this is Diagon Alley—why do you think I'm here? Maca said calmly.

Oh! Yes, you are here to buy books. Harry suddenly said.

What about you? Maca asked.

I'm going! As a matter of fact, I'm staying at the Leaky Cauldron—

Harry roughly talked about the things he encountered during the summer vacation, including the first time he was looking forward to his birthday so much, and also including the fact that he inadvertently inflated his wicked aunt.

By the way, thank you for your birthday present, Maca. Harry said, We are all sorry about what happened last semester, we shouldn't doubt you...Professor Dumbledore also told me that I should trust you...

Maca shook his head lightly and said, It's okay, it's normal for you to have doubts...Of course, don't ask me what happened to me, it's not so easy to explain clearly.

Oh - well, Harry shrugged, Maka, when is your birthday?

This time it was Maca who shrugged - he didn't know it himself, so how could he tell others?

Probably in winter? he replied.

While chatting casually, the two walked to Lihen Bookstore together.

When they came to the door of the bookstore, Harry looked at the window of the bookstore and was immediately taken aback.

Bookstore windows of yesteryear usually displayed spellbooks the size of floor tiles, embossed in gold. But now, such books are gone, replaced by a big iron cage, which contains about a hundred copies of Monster Book of Monsters.

The books were locked together in a furious wrestling contest, biting and fighting belligerently, sending broken pages flying here and there.

Fortunately, Hagrid gave it to me as a birthday present this year... Harry couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

He understood now why Hagrid had said in his letter that he might need this book.

This kind of book is not very suitable for use as a textbook. If you don't pay attention, you will lose a few pages. The books that were biting each other in Maca's cage said plainly.

The two walked into the bookstore, and the manager rushed to greet them.

Is it from Hogwarts? he asked with a depressed face, Are you here to buy a new book?

Yes, said Harry, I need—

Get out of the way, please, said the manager impatiently, pushing Harry aside. He put on a pair of thick gloves, picked up a thick, knotty cane, and walked to the iron cage containing the Monster Book of Monsters.

No need, I'll do it myself—

As Maca said, he directly opened the door of the cage, and put his hand in decisively.

Oh! Watch out! shouted the manager.

But Maca's actions made him shut up immediately.

I saw Maca flexibly flipped his wrist to avoid a book that was biting towards him, and then flipped his wrist again, accurately grasping the book firmly in his hand.

He lightly scratched the spine of the book with his index finger, and the originally ferocious book immediately trembled and quieted down.

As long as you scratch the spine of the books, they will be quiet for a while. I suggest you tie them up with a belt. Maca said to the manager of the bookstore.

That's a good idea, the manager thanked with the depression on his face gone, Thank you so much, I've been bitten five times this morning!

At this moment, there was a loud tearing sound in the cage—the two Monster Books of Monsters grabbed the third book, and then tore it apart together.

Oh—stop! stop! cried the manager, thrusting the cane through the bars, and opening the books.

I figured I'd better get them done ASAP! They've been making a fuss these two days! We've moved two hundred copies of The Book of Invisibility before, and I thought there was nothing worse than them—the books So expensive, and we'll never have... Well, sir, would you like a copy?

I already have this book. Harry said hastily.

Thank goodness— said the manager, do you want any other books?

Ten minutes later, the two walked out of the bookstore. Behind them, the manager's helpless shout could be heard vaguely. He has probably started to deal with those disobedient monster books.

Harry, I'm about to leave first, there's still a place I need to go to. Maca said suddenly, See you at the beginning of school.

Oh—Okay! See you at the beginning of school. Harry nodded.

Before school starts, Maca plans to go to Lovegood's house and have a few meals along the way. When school starts, going to school with Luna is also a good choice.

At least, the time with Luna has always been relaxed.

The Lovegoods were of course still the same, and Luna hardly changed.

No, she seemed to have grown taller.

Maca has also grown a lot taller, and all her clothes have been replaced with new ones. Because of this, he noticed the change in Luna.

To be honest, he spent a lot of time with Luna last semester, maybe it was because she kept dangling in front of his eyes! It's really hard to notice if you don't pay attention.

Have you had a good summer vacation?

Maca stood in front of the fireplace, looking at Luna who turned around and asked.

Maybe... Luna blinked her eyes, and slightly raised the corners of her mouth.
