Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 25: The story of a mantra
When Maca came to Lovegood’s house, Xenofilius was preparing for the lunch of the day in the kitchen, and Luna put three sets of cutlery on the small table-Maca They have been notified that they will come.
"Good afternoon, Maca." Luna heard the movement by the fireplace, but did not hurriedly arrange the dishes, then turned around and said calmly.
"Well, good afternoon Luna!" Maca looked at the dazed girl in front of her, with an inexplicable emotion-she really hadn't changed at all.
"I haven't seen you in a while, are you okay?" Luna said in a light tone, as if it were not a courtesy greeting, but just casually.
Maca bluntly sat down on the sofa next to him, smiled and nodded: "Not bad, how about you?"
"I don't know... Maybe it's okay." She tilted her head, as if really thinking about the recent situation.
At this moment, Xenofilius also wiped his hands and walked over here.
"Welcome here to spend Christmas together, my little reader." He happily said, "Have you seen the latest issue? I have written a lot about the horned snoring beast, and the readers have responded well!"
"Oh, yes! That's great, you can talk to me in a while." Of course Maca didn't look at it. He didn't have that idle time.
Although Xenofilius asks Owl to bring him a copy every issue, he never missed it once.
"Okay, okay, of course! But let’s have lunch first, it’s ready." Xenofilius said, "I’ll be busy after Christmas, you know, "Singing the opposite." Year-end special issue-I have prepared a lot of interesting content."
He sat down at the table and filled the Maca with a bowl of thick soup.
"...So after Christmas, you will accompany Luna to the Muggle city for me!" He said, "I remember you said that you are familiar with Muggles, and I think it’s better than me. Be strong."
"Oh, of course!" Maca nodded.
"That's great! Luna has always wanted to see the Muggle lifestyle-she always likes the Muggle decorations I bought for her." Xenofilius looked at herself His daughter has a light of doting in her eyes.
Luna turned her head and showed Maca the sweet cherry earrings hanging from her ears. At this moment, she, with a dim smile, her big eyes flickering and she looked very happy indeed.
Lunch is still going on, Maca talks and laughs leisurely with the father and daughter in front of him, while intermittently thinking about the dividing line between Muggles and wizards.
In the magical world where pure-blood wizards are still the main component, the boundary between wizards and Muggles is still clear. Even with the efforts of many sages, many excellent Muggle wizards have appeared in the magic world, but the deep-rooted concept of distinction has always been firmly rooted in the hearts of most wizards.
Regarding this, Maca doesn't have much thoughts, just want to enjoy her peaceful life. He has the consciousness of being an ordinary person, even if he becomes a wizard, it is just an ordinary wizard.
Those complicated and troublesome things can be solved by a great wizard like Dumbledore.
"Luna, where shall we go first then? I think--"
Maca tossed all the messy things in the fun, with a relaxed expression on his face to discuss the post-holiday itinerary with Luna.
The time at Lovegood’s house always flies quickly. This is mostly related to Luna’s character. The longer I spend with her, the easier it is to be affected by her unhurried thinking that day, and I feel that the whole world has become ethereal.
When I was with Luna, Maca no longer restrained her sensibility, because it was difficult to find sadness in Luna. The two of them often laugh so much because of some funny little things; they also always enjoy the peace silently in a unique and cozy environment.
In a daze, Christmas Eve has quietly descended.
Xenofilius is busy in the second floor workshop, while Maca and Luna are the same as last night, leaning side by side on the outer wall of the house looking up at the endless night sky.
There are few stars in the recent night, and most of them are obscured by a thin layer of clouds. A hazy last quarter moon appeared on the sky wall from time to time, spreading silver brilliance all over the hillside.
"Mom gave me her favorite thing as my name." Luna looked up at the moon and smiled quietly, as if she was just talking to something, not sitting next to her Maca.
Maca nodded, regardless of whether Luna saw it or not.
"What about you?" Luna asked, "How did you get your name?"
Maca smiled, so smiled unclearly, but Luna didn't care at all.
"I made it myself, I was called by this name originally," Maca said, "It has always been."
"That's not bad." Luna said, "Mum always said that the name of a wizard represents a person's life track-where he came from and where he will go."
Maca stopped laughing when he heard the words, and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. He can't even figure out, is that happy after all? Still sad.
"Yes! It represents where it came from, and maybe it will tell us where to go..."
Early the next morning, Lovegood’s house was besieged by an owl...
A large number of owls of all colors, breeds, and body types stopped in a mess on the lawn **** in front of the house, because the roof and window edges were already full of other owls-they all came to the Maca Give Christmas gifts.
Maca knows for the first time that he is so popular. Ordinarily, few people will come to talk to him?
When the dreaming Maca was awakened by a series of pecking noises, Maca hurried out, brought in all the gifts, large and small, and piled them in the small living room of Luna’s house. in.
At this time, Luna, who was half asleep and more confused than usual, walked out of the room in her red and green checkered pajamas.
"Maca, is this a gift from you?" She asked vaguely, her eyes half-opened, holding a small envelope in her hand.
"Yes! Open it! This is the longest time-consuming Christmas gift I gave this year." Maca said cheerfully, "Merry Christmas, Luna."
"What about my gift? Where's my gift?" Xenofilius on the side was like a child at the moment, and asked enthusiastically to Maca.
"I will be there soon." Maca's smile became clearer.
"Hmm...hmm, what's this?" Luna gently tore open the seal of the envelope and pulled out a thin card packed with tiny letters and symbols.
"This is a spell," Maca said, "It's the spell that went wrong during the experiment. I have finished analyzing it."
Needless to say, the father and daughter present immediately understood—this is the spell that caused Luna to lose her mother and Xenophylius to lose her wife!
The father and daughter looked at each other and found that each other's eye sockets were a little moist.
Maca is right, they don’t hate this spell at all—they don’t hate anyone or anything. They have nothing but regrets about the feelings they have for this spell.
Luna’s mother, Pandora Lovegood is a person who loves experimenting with spells very much. Because of the suddenness of the experiment, she didn’t leave a word before she died. And this spell has almost become her only last wish.
When Xenofilius buried his dead wife, he buried her test notes with her in the tomb, hoping that this would allow her to continue to do what she likes most in the unknown place.
never thought that Luna, who had witnessed the entire process at the scene at the time, would keep it firmly in her heart; what’s more unexpected is that Maca even relied on Luna’s casual description of the scene of the incident. Silently found the spell and resolved it.
For Luna and his daughter, this Christmas gift from Maca is even more precious than anything else.
"...Thank you, thank you!" Xenofilius' voice was trembling clearly.
and Luna is completely drowsy. She walked towards Maca without saying a word and hugged him hard, not letting go for a long time. At the moment when his eyes crossed, Maca keenly discovered: Luna at this moment is completely absent from the usual trance, and her big eyes are full of firmness.
For a long time, when the two separated, Luna held the thin piece of cardboard in her hand~IndoMTL.com~ her expression became hazy again. The sight seemed to tell Maca that what he had just seen was just an illusion.
"Okay, Luna, come and help me unpack the present! Let's see who gave it to me. I don't remember how many friends I have made!" Maca smiled.
That night, Xenofilius prepared a large amount of food, including grilled meat, roasted turkey, gravy dipping dishes, etc. It was almost like using all the spares saved in the day tonight.
Of course, the various specialty foods of Lovegood's family are even more diverse, and there are all kinds of them, and Maca is dazzled for a while.
They let go of their belly and ate and drank, sometimes cheering happily, sometimes whispering. When the atmosphere reached its peak, Luna, who didn't like dancing very much, even pulled Maca into a dance.
This Christmas dinner with only three people is intertwined with their laughter until late at night...
At dawn the next day, when the sky was slightly bright, Xenofilius displayed his entourage and took the two to the cemetery on the outskirts of Plymouth.
Maca stood quietly next to him, watching Luna set the card full of analytical formulas on fire, and burned a little bit in front of her mother's tombstone.
It wasn't until this time that Maca learned from Xenofilius that the hometown of Luna's mother, Pandora, was in a small Muggle village not far from here.
Maca looked at the lonely little figure crouching in front of the tombstone.
, the light golden soft long hair that stretches to the waist like a waterfall, once again showed a beautiful and innocent halo in the rising sun.
"Call God to protect you."
Maca's heart touched, he silently stared at the girl in front of him, muttering to himself, a faint silver-white glow appeared all over his body.
