Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 13: Preparation work

　　 "You should understand that this is not a question that first-year students should approach," Snape frowned and paused, but then continued, "Since you can ask this question, you must be disgusted with demons. The principle of the reaction should be very clear. It only needs reverse stirring to interrupt the anabolism reaction at an accurate time and add the subsequent ingredients. It is not necessary to barely maintain the magical form of the original liquid. The next question."

　　 Next, Maca asked several questions he encountered one by one. But he keenly discovered that Snape did not show the kind of impatience he imagined, but actually answered all the questions.

　　"...Is there any question to ask? Then go out."

　　 After Maca finished asking the question, Snape returned to his original impatience and waved Maca out of his office.

　　 "Hoo-" Standing at the corner of the corridor outside the office, Maca couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

　　 To be honest, he really didn't want to be too close to Snape. For him, facing a person who can't see through is more terrifying than anything else.

　　 Speaking of it, in fact, the person he dare not approach the most is undoubtedly Dumbledore.

　　 briefly recalled what he said and did in Snape's office just now, and after finding that there was nothing wrong with it, Maca hurriedly left.

　　After solving a few difficulties that will inevitably be encountered in actual operations, the next thing is much easier. He only needs to make up for the missing tools, and find a quiet place where no one is left, and then he can start trying to prepare.

　　 "Hagrid’s hunting house? A good choice!" Maca muttered to herself, turned and walked towards the gate, "It just happens that there is no class this afternoon. It’s okay to see Hagrid."

　　……

　　 Today is a good weather, but the wind is a bit bigger than the previous few days. Looking up, there is a blue sky, which makes people feel more cheerful. The air outside the castle looked exceptionally fresh, and it was the opposite of beauty compared to Snape's dimly lit office.

　　 Maca is breathing in the fresh air outside—this is the blessing of nature that sustains human life, regardless of whether it is a wizard or a Muggle.

　　Hagrid’s hunting hut was built not far from the forbidden forest. It walked through the fields and could be reached soon.

　　 "Hey, Hagrid! Good afternoon!" Maca saw Hagrid's tall figure from a distance.

　　 "Oh, Maca! Yes, good afternoon!" Hagrid turned his head when he heard the words, and smiled happily after seeing Maca.

　　 But, he quickly put away his smile, and then said with a serious face: "Yes, I am glad you can come to see me, and I also welcome you to come to my cabin as a guest. But, it should be soon It’s time for class, you shouldn’t be here."

　　 "Yes, to be precise, it's already in class," Maca shrugged, "but I have no class today."

　　 "So that's the case," Hagrid nodded suddenly, "I should have thought of it. The last time I called Harry and the others over, I deliberately picked a time when they had no class."

　　 "Come on, come in, come in, I'll pour you a cup of tea." As he said, he took Maca's shoulders and walked into the hut, "Oh, the door is a bit small, you go in."

　　 "Wow! Wow!" Hagrid's black hound yelled at Maca, and the iron buckle collar around his neck was rattled by it.

　　 "It's called Yaya. It's a bit timid, but very close, and a good dog." Hagrid pulled Yaya hard, and then motioned for Maca to sit down on the sofa.

　　While waiting for Hagrid to make tea, Maca looked around the interior of the cottage. Apart from a fireplace, two sofas and a small round table, there is basically nothing left here. Well, Hagrid has to stay inside, so there is really no way to put down too much furniture.

　　 "Would you like some rock crust cakes? Harry and Ron seem to like them." Hagrid asked, turning his head.

　　 "No, no, they are a bit hard, my teeth are not so good these days." Maca hastily declined, "You know, it's time to change teeth."

　　 "Oh, yes, it's a pity." Hagrid nodded, "But if you want to get rid of your waste teeth quickly, rock cakes are actually not a bad choice."

　　 "If it is about to come down, I might come to your Hagrid again." Maca smiled bitterly.

　　 Next, Maca chatted with Hagrid one after another for the whole afternoon. From all kinds of magical creatures, to Dumbledore, and then to his brother Aberforth, he knew a lot of messy information.

　　 In general, under the guidance of Maca's ingenious topics, the two chatted a lot of topics that Hagrid was interested in, and they talked very happily.

　　 He didn't stand at the door until Maca was about to leave, seemingly random to raise his request.

　　 "Oh, yes, Hagrid," Maca said as if suddenly remembering something, "I wonder if I can come to your place to do some potion preparation exercises in my free time? In school, Si Professor Nep will always stare at me with a gloomy face, I can't calm down and practice."

　　 "Well, Severus, yes, he always looks like someone owes him money," Hagrid smiled and nodded, "Of course, you are welcome to come over anytime, I'm here most of the time. Nearby."

　　 "Okay, thank you." After Maca thanked him, he closed the door and left.

　　 Of course, it would be great if I could find the House of Request, but it was a pity that Maca had forgotten where it was.

　　 "Let's go back and look for it! It would be better to find it."

　　 He pondered as he walked towards the castle. In a while, it's time for dinner.

　　……

　　 Dining time at Hogwarts is always the busiest time of the day. At this time, everyone will discuss the gossip and thoughts of the whole day while dealing with the food on their respective plates.

　　 Today, Maca finally is no longer in a hurry, because he is going to take a break. I have always soaked myself in the library recently, even if I don't feel tired mentally, my body is already tired.

　　"...is her?"

　　 Maca inadvertently glanced at the long Slytherin table, and suddenly saw the mysterious girl I met in the library before.

　　 I saw that she was sitting on the edge of the long Slytherin table, eating pudding in small mouthfuls. The robes of the hospital uniform that were too loose for her were dragged on the ground, but she didn't care. The classmates around were talking to each other, and it was very lively. She was alone outside of this cheerful atmosphere, and no one took care of her.

　　 It stands to reason that if she sits there alone, she should feel a sense of contradiction. But Maca found that she seemed to be integrated into the whole environment, not so much low-key, as she didn't exist at all.

　　In a pleasant atmosphere, the dinner gradually came to an end.

　　 Just as Maca looked at the back of the mysterious girl who had finished her meal and left silently, thinking secretly about where she was, he caught a glimpse of Malfoy walking over to Gryffindor.

　　"Are you having your last meal, Potter? When will you take the train back to Muggle?"

　　 "You think that the professors didn't notice this, and you have your little friends to accompany you, so you have more courage." Harry said coldly.

　　Maca has already walked to the side at this moment. He looked at Crabbe and Gore. It is hard to be called "small" because of his tall appearance.

　　 The two of them seemed to be scrupulous about the teacher in the main guest seat. They didn't dare to make trouble, so they had to make a sullen face and clicked their fingers.

　　 "I am willing to compete with you alone at any time," Malfoy said. "If you have no objection, it will be a duel between wizards tonight! Only wands-no contact. What's the matter? I guess you might Never heard of wizard duels, right?"

　　 "Of course he has heard of it." Ron said, turning around abruptly. "I am his assistant, who is your assistant?"

　　 Malfoy looked at Crabbe and Gore, weighing them left and right.

　　 "Crabbe." He said, "Just at midnight, how about? We will meet you in the prize showroom, where the door is never locked."

　　After Malfoy left, Harry and Ron couldn't help but glance at each other.

　　 "What's the matter with wizard duels?" Harry asked, "What do you mean by being my assistant?"

　　 "Oh, if you die, the assistant will follow." Ron said lightly, and finally started eating his cooled pie again.

　　 He caught the look on Harry’s face, and hurriedly added, “But you know, people only die when they have a formal duel with a real wizard. You and Malfoy can only send a few messages to each other at best. A spark-you two know too little magic ~ IndoMTL.com ~ won't really hurt each other. However, I dare say he thought you would refuse."

　　 "If I wave my wand and there is no response at all, what should I do?"

　　 "Then throw away the wand and punch him in the nose." Ron shrugged, and the thief gave his advice with a smile.

　　 "Sorry, excuse me." Across the long table, Hermione suddenly spoke.

　　 "Can people eat here for a while?" Ron said.

　　 Hermione ignored him, but said to Harry: "I can't help but eavesdrop on what you and Malfoy said..."

　　 "I knew you would be like this." Ron murmured.

　　"You must not wander around school at night, think about it, if you get caught, how many points will you lose to Gryffindor! And you will definitely be caught, you are really too selfish. "

　　 "This matter really has nothing to do with you." Harry said.

　　 "Goodbye." Ron continued.

　　Hermione looked at their leaving figures, and stomped her feet angrily. Suddenly, she found Maca who was sitting not far away.

　　 "Hey, did you hear that too? You should stop them too."

　　 Since talking with Maca in the herbal medicine class that day, Hermione also occasionally met with Maca in the library. She usually sits down and talks with Maca about some learning problems.

　　 After a long period of time, the two of them have become acquainted.

　　 "You have also seen it, they are like that, it's useless to stop." Maca walked over and spread his hands, expressing that he could do nothing about it. "Don't look at Harry, who is usually very kind, but he is still very stubborn in his bones. He believes that It’s difficult for others to make changes."

　　 Hermione pursed her lips, and walked towards the door without a word. When she was leaving, she suddenly turned her head and gave Maca angrily.
