Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

“Sirius, I have already made it clear to the elves, you can take them to London for a while now. If there are any further accidents there, they will become a fairly reliable force… ”

“In addition, the spiders I have raised – what you have seen are the alienated Acromantula. A large part of them have been left in London for the last time… You brought the little eight, it will help you in need. Move some of them to fight.”

Forbidden Forest, Marx, who has just returned from the elf’s territory, is talking to Sirius about his rough plan.

To be honest, as soon as he realized that the meteorite would fall to Hogwarts, he had already guessed that Herpo could not miss such a good opportunity.

In order to prevent Herpo from taking another big raid in London when he was on the rock, Marx felt that it would be a good idea to let the elves in Forbidden Forest take care of him.

With the magic innate talent of these “wild” elves who have not been enslaved, and let his more and more spider partners cooperate with each other, the power that can be exerted is not to be underestimated.

“Well, unless it is Herpo himself, it should be more than enough!”

Sirius nodded, and then curiously:

“Can spiders only mobilize a part?”

“Yes… at least until I lifted the threat of the Rock, before I went to London, I was able to give you only a small part of the free call. And the rest, I have other uses.”

“Ok!”

Sirius shrugged, then watched Marx gently evoke a thumb-nail-sized spider from the sleeve and naturally handed it to him.

“What does it like to eat?”

“en? Are you also interested in raising a few?” Marx smiled. “Acromantula likes to eat the most. It must be a human being! Although they have changed in bloodline, they are still Acromantula… well, just in case. I played with the dark wizard under Herpo’s hand, remembering to keep an eye on it, and smelling bloody, maybe there would be little patience.”

“I will manage the children.”

I heard Marx say that Sirius hadn’t answered yet, but was robbed by the little eight on Marx’s back.

“That’s good–“

Marx was satisfied with a nodded, and then let Xiao Ba climb to Sirius. Looking at Sirius seems a little uncomfortable, Marx suddenly waved:

“Don’t care about its existence, you can just do it normally – I don’t think it will be stupid enough to be killed by you!”

“hope so!”

Sirius thought for a moment and found that there was nothing else to say, and he finally said:

“Then I will go to London to find a place where I can hide such a large group of elves. When I am ready to hide, I will pick them up again.”

“Oh, no, no,” Marx shook his head. “I just forgot to say it? You can take them directly to St. Mungo’s. The space in the underground storage room can be very large!”

“You have already said it to the head?”

This problem with Sirius gave Marx a little bit of a glimpse, but he quickly didn’t care too much:

“Well, this is not… but I believe he will agree! It is a warm-hearted person!”

He was talking, suddenly it felt like he felt something, and he turned his head and looked at the direction of the castle. And in the next moment, the top of the astronomical tower at the highest point of the castle burst into a soft glow.

“Hey! Did Hermione and Luna start the trial?”

When the voice did not fall, I saw that the glory of the group was like the same unopened fireworks. I suddenly rushed up and then hung over the castle.

After that, about a few seconds of waiting, a layer of translucent magic shield began to form from the light group to all around. Looking at the speed of the shield, you should soon be able to cover the entire castle.

But at the moment when the magic shield formed about 70%, somehow Marx and Sirius found that the entire shroud suddenly shook slightly.

And then, the two saw the shield layer as if it could not be maintained, and a little bit collapsed from the edge.

Calculating the time, from the appearance of the light group to the collapse of the magic shield, the whole process probably lasted about 1 point clock.

“Okay!”

Marx nodded, as if he had not been disappointed with the result of this apparent failure, and even gave a not too bad evaluation.

“Is the combined fault tolerance of ancient runes so low?” Sirius wondered.

“Yeah! The more complicated things, the more afraid of mistakes…” Marx spread his hands and said, “The first time you start the test, you can run it. This is very good! Hermione and Luna are very careful.”

……

“Oh! Failed – where is the problem?”

At the top of the astronomical tower, Ron looked up at the position of the already dissipated light group, which was obviously regrettable. At his feet, the core rune board of the array, which was hand-engraved by Marx, was also faded a little.

For Ron’s question, neither Hermione nor Luna answered, because they were discussing the various gains and losses on the trial start on the drawing.

Instead, Ginny, standing on the edge of the observatory, looked at the scenery and suddenly started talking:

“Isn’t failure a normal thing? If it can be successful once, it would be too easy—”

“But… this is not easy?” Ron heard this, and it was a bitter face. “In order to order the slate, our pocket money can be exchanged for the muggle’s pound!”

When Ginny heard it, it was just curl one’s lip and gave him a look.

“miser!”

“Don’t chat there, come over, we have to go and move a few slate back…” When I was cold, I heard Hermione suddenly come back and greeted me. “A total of five slate, have to be re-adjusted. Angle. Moreover, we also need to check all the slabs to see if there is any damage.”

“All?” Ron squinted and sighed. “Merlin is on… then are we going to run through the school?”

Hermione, even if it should be by rights:

“This is only the first time – after every start, we need to check the slate again, do you know? Remember what I said, don’t let me remind you again next time… London’s fog is suspicious We must complete this map as soon as possible, no longer delay.”

“Oh! Of course, I will remember!”

Ron was honestly nodded, and then immediately ran to the middle of the observatory.

“Where are you going!” Hermione saw it and was loudly shouted. “Did I hear what I said? Go and adjust the slate first, then check it! I haven’t said which slate is it!”

Just as Ron stopped and stopped, Luna next to Hermione suddenly started talking:

“Hermione, you go to the east with Ron! I am in the west with Ginny – anyway, the numbers are already fixed, and it will be faster to split up!”

“Well, that’s it!”

After all, Hermione rolled up the drawings laid on the floor and went to Ron.

“Hermione looks a little anxious,” Ginny looked at Hermione’s back. It seemed to be being rebuke’s big brother Ron. He couldn’t help but whisper. “Is it… she plans to rush to London immediately after the map is completed.” Is there over there?”

Luna saw a color of concern in Ginny’s face, and then a clean smile appeared.

“Yes! It must be like this.”

“But… Marx didn’t say it all, don’t let us go?”

Although she can understand the mood of Hermione, her home is in the suburbs of London. But Marx said that, she still insisted on going, will it affect the preparation of Marx?

And to be honest, careful as Marx naturally will not forget Hermione’s family, presumably he will also ensure the safety of the Granger couple.

However, Luna seems to understand Hermione’s ideas. I saw her walking along the stairs with Ginny, and gently speaking with the clear sound of the past:

“Because… that’s Hermione!”

Perhaps only Luna who is good at inadvertently perceiving people’s minds will understand that Hermione wants to go to London to have concerns about her family, but more is to do something for people.

Whether it’s an innocent muggle citizen, a horrified ordinary wizard, or even a busy Auror and a hitter to deal with anomalies, Hermione probably wants to give help as much as he can.

In fact, it may be that things are gathered together! Most of these small partners also have similar ideas, just more or less, not as sensitive to such issues as Hermione and eager to see that’s all.

“Then you better advise me to persuade her!”

Just as Luna and Ginny had just come down from the astronomical tower and were about to go west around the castle, Marx’s voice slammed from behind them.

“Hey?” Luna paused and looked back, surprised. “Marx, how did you come to us? I didn’t seem to feel it at all?”

“Because I was secretly coming over, just like listening to what you are saying…” Marx slightly smiled, “And since it was secretly sneaked, how can you find it?”

After that, he repeated it deliberately:

“Remember to persuade her, don’t think about going to London anymore… Maybe after you have finished doing this, you can go to The Burrow for a while! I will let Hermione’s father and mother go to your home together. Excuse me!”

In the last sentence, he is obviously speaking to Ginny.

Obviously, Weasley Family is a good place, and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley are more hospitable than one, and they all like children very much.

To be honest, even Marx himself wants to go to their home for a while.

But very quickly, after a little pondering, he still shook his head.

“… forget it, or let me go with her!”
