Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Chapter 135: Before and after the dinner

Views:

Recently, frequent emergencies have made Maka's sense of crisis even greater than before. Even though his strength has exceeded everyone's expectations, he himself has no sense of security at all.

Just the inexplicable return of Peter Pettigrew cost him all his resources, not to mention that the person who made Peter look like that was most likely Voldemort.

As for how Voldemort will appear and what strange powers he has acquired, Maka has no idea.

He only knew that Voldemort's strength had definitely exceeded his greatest expectations.

Things are developing in an unknown direction, and the unknown is always disturbing.

For this reason, Maca gave up many non-critical research projects and devoted all his energy to goals that could help him grow up as quickly as possible.

However, how can magic be something that can be achieved quickly

The vacation is coming soon again, but this time, Maka only plans to stay at Hogwarts and allocate all her time to the progress of research.

However, this holiday, which was already destined to be boring, became... uh... at least not so boring anymore because of some "unexpected surprises" for Maka.

On the last day of the semester, exam results are announced.

Harry, Ron and Hermione passed every subject - Harry had never imagined that he had passed the Potions exam.

He strongly suspected that Dumbledore had intervened to prevent Snape from getting into trouble with him. Because in the last week, Snape's attitude towards Harry was quite frightening.

Harry had never imagined that Snape's annoyance with him would only increase, but that's what happened. Every time Snape saw Harry, a muscle next to his thin lips twisted unpleasantly, and he kept cracking his knuckles, as if he wanted to strangle Harry. throat-like.

Percy passed the NEWT exam; while Fred and George both scraped together an OWL certificate.

Meanwhile, Gryffindor House's end-of-term banquet was decorated in scarlet and gold, largely due to its prominence in Quidditch.

This also meant that the Gryffindor table was even more lively, with almost everyone celebrating. Even Harry was eating, drinking, talking, and laughing with everyone, forgetting that he had to go back to the Dursleys the next day.

When talking about the Dursley family, it is inevitable to mention Sirius Black.

After Maka asked Harry and the others to go to Lupin's office, Harry and Black, who was lying on the bed, finally met.

Under the words of Lupine and Black, Harry and the others were surprised to learn some truth about the death of his parents that year.

And when Harry understood that the person who betrayed his parents was actually Peter Pettigrew, he became extremely angry - I wonder, who can bear the thought that the hero he has always admired turned out to be the real culprit who caused the death of his parents?

However, this matter is really not very easy to digest.

What's more, no matter why Peter Pettigrew had to hide for so many years, he is now really dead. The so-called death without evidence refers to the current situation.

What everyone present didn't expect was that Harry finally chose to believe in Maka!

Harry believed that with Maka's wisdom and strength, as a person involved in this incident, his views and decisions were worthy of being used as a powerful criterion for judgment.

But no matter what, Harry finally accepted Black as his godfather, and the result remained unchanged.

By the way, when Black and Lupine confessed the truth, it was Ron who found it even harder to accept than Harry.

"What did you say? Scabbers is Peter Pettigrew?" Ron shouted, "No, how is this possible!"

Even though Blake promised to give him a new pet to compensate him, he still seemed a little reluctant - it was obvious that he still had very deep feelings for Scabbers.

Of course, after accepting all this, Harry still felt a little resentful - he still had to stay at the Dursley's during the next holiday. The reason he got was that his godfather, Mr. Black, had to stay at Hogwarts to recuperate from his injury.

Even though it might be just an excuse, Harry had to accept this reality.

At the dinner, when everyone was eagerly discussing the topic of the holidays, the door of the auditorium was slowly pushed open.

Who is coming? Is anyone late

In fact, it can be said that, because there is a person who has been late for a whole semester...

"Weili?" Maka swallowed the chicken drumstick in her mouth with a "slurping" sound, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

The visitor was none other than Willy Blois. After a semester, she seemed to have not changed at all.

Her figure is still so petite, making the wizard robe on her body still look so baggy; the wide pointed hat covers her hair and half of her face, making it difficult for people to see what she looks like. ; And she was dragging a large suitcase in her hand, casting her gaze towards the long table of Hufflepuff, as if searching for someone.

Maka knew that she was definitely looking for him.

After Maka stretched out her hand and waved a few times, Willie ignored everyone's gaze, pulled the suitcase and walked straight towards Maka.

"Have the flowers bloomed?"

It’s been a long time since I heard this tone of voice without any emotion - Maka couldn’t help but think.

"The dining chairs are coming." Maka took out her wand and waved it, and a chair placed in the corner crossed the air and landed firmly next to him. "We'll talk about the flowers later... Why are you coming here now?" Already?"

Willy sat down quietly and replied: "It's a holiday, next semester, or a break from school." She seemed to be used to the way she talked to Maka. After thinking about it, she added, "...probably."

"So this holiday you just want to see if the flowers are blooming?" Maka thought for a moment and asked.

Willie nodded naturally.

"right."

"..." Maka looked at her several times, then suddenly grabbed a chicken leg and handed it to her, "Here, eat chicken."

Compared to the many messes this semester left behind, the regular dinner was a success. At least, many things have nothing to do with the students, and everyone is ready to enjoy their vacation time.

But when Maka and Willy left the auditorium together, planning to find a place to have a good chat about the flower buds in the greenhouse, they met Lupine who was carrying a suitcase and an empty water tank.

"Where are you going, Professor Lupin?" Maka casually greeted.

"Oh, don't you know yet? I thought Dumbledore must have told you..." Lupine said with a wry smile.

"Huh?" Maka glanced at him hesitantly, "So, you have decided to resign?"

"I don't think parents would be willing to have a werewolf teach their children," Lupine said sincerely. "I saw the scene where Harry and Black recognized each other before, and I think this reason is enough for me to make this decision. "Parents are right, children should not be exposed to this risk."

"And you see, I still treat you..."

Maka waved her hand and suddenly said: "Do you need me to find a suitable job for you? At least, then you won't be as depressed as you are now."

"Work?" Lupine said in surprise.

"Yes, a job far away from the crowd -" Maka thought for a moment, then continued, "it may be boring - because there is really no one there - but at least you won't have to worry about life, and I will pay you. .”

"Can you tell me more about it?" Lu Ping seemed to be interested.

"There is a hidden island in the center of the Mediterranean. There are many magical creatures there, as well as a group of wild elves left over from ancient times..."

Maka briefly described the situation there, and also specifically explained the work he needed Lupine to do there—cultivating various magical creatures.

In other words, continue to provide him with a large amount of materials needed for magic research.

It is undoubtedly a very good stronghold there, and it is definitely an ownerless island now. Maka decided unceremoniously that the island was his.

If he graduates from Hogwarts in the future, he will have a decent place to settle down.

Lupine quickly agreed to give it more thought, and Maka could tell that this job was indeed a good fit for him. There, even if you transform, there will be no danger of harming others.

"Don't worry, I don't have time to go there right now... But if you have plans, you can contact me first." Maka said, "You can do it anytime."

Just then, Dumbledore came over.

"Your car is at the gate, Lupin," he said.

"Thank you, Principal."

Lupine, carrying his old suitcase and the empty water tank, nodded politely to Dumbledore.

"Okay - goodbye, Mr. MacLean." He said with a smile, "In fact, teaching you is really an easy thing, but I always feel that it is not good for the heart - no matter what the outcome, we can keep in touch! Principal! , no need to send me to the gate, I can do it myself..."

Lupine seemed eager to leave school as soon as possible.

"Well, goodbye, Lupin." Dumbledore said politely.

Lupine turned the empty water tank slightly to allow him to shake Dumbledore's hand. Lupine then gave Maka one last nod, smiled quickly, and hurried away.

"You left a deep impression on him," Dumbledore teased. "Well, this is almost the reaction every professor has when they talk about you."

"Oh -" Maka looked at Willie, who was standing beside him but had no presence, "I think I need to learn more from Miss Blois - I think she is more of a low-key person than me. Little badger.”

Willy just looked at the portrait on the wall calmly, without even looking at him.
