Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 89: See the black dog again
During the last period of time before returning to Hogwarts, Maca didn't go anywhere, so he took Luna to the Three Broomsticks bar to sit for a while.
For this very popular bar in Hogsmeade Village, most wizards choose to sit here every time they come.
The owner of Bar, Ms. Rosemerta, is very social and a very popular woman. She is always very good at talking, and many wizards like to talk to her.
Well, especially the wizards—even the professors at Hogwarts knew her.
"Speaking of which, this bar has an interesting little allusion." Maca sat at the table and said to Luna, "Before Ms. Rosmerta took over the bar, this was called'Two Broomsticks.' ."
"Is this funny?" A shaggy wizard on the other side approached him, and he looked at Maca and asked.
"The interesting thing is not here," Maca spread out, "Do you know what is going on?"
"Hmm..." The wizard thought for a while, and guessed naturally, "A broom?"
"No, earlier, here is a private flying broomstick workshop." Maca said, "The Moon Covered in the late nineteenth century was born here. It was the beginning of the twentieth century, Grey The creative source of Dee Busby’s design of the "Moon"."
"This is really unexpected, it is indeed an interesting allusion..." The wizard smiled and said, "You know a lot, are you little wizards from Hogwarts?"
"Yeah, you know, today Hogsmeade is full of Hogwarts students."
"That's right, that's right." The wizard smiled, "But there are not many people who are as calm as you."
At this time, Ms. Rosmerta came over with a tray, and while laughing with the wizard, she placed the wine glass in front of him.
"Should I buy you a drink?" The wizard suddenly grabbed Maca and said, "How about the reward for that funny little allusion you talked about?"
"Hey! Tarino, don't teach bad kids!" Ms. Rosmerta slapped him on the back, warningly.
"Don't do that, Rosmerta, I'm not inviting, I'm not inviting...Haha!"
The sloppy wizard named "Tarino" by Ms. Rosmerta pretended to dodge, with a mischievous smile on his face, a completely slippery look, it seems that he has always been this virtue.
"Leave him alone, he is a sloppy ghost." Rosmerta smiled at Maca and went straight to the back of the bar.
"Look at that figure... ahem, I mean, Ms. Rosmerta is a charming witch."
was probably finally aware of Maca’s age, coupled with the fact that Luna had been watching him curiously, he finally controlled his mouth and did not continue to make any unbelievable remarks.
But Maca stared at Tarino thoughtfully for a while, as if thinking about something.
He paused for a while, then suddenly said: "Mr. Tarino, I think it would be more appropriate for me to invite you."
Maca said, suddenly turned his head towards the bar and shouted: "Ms. Rosemerta, give Mr. Tarino a glass of blue-labeled John, I’ll treat you."
"Oh, of course, but—" Ms. Rosmerta hesitated.
"Don't worry, no problem."
Tarino put away his smile and looked at Maca in surprise.
"How can this—" he said, "I was just joking."
Maca squeezed a smile at him, and said in a calm tone: "However, I am not... enjoying the beautiful bar at ease, sir, I just want to ask a few questions by the way."
Tarino was taken aback, then shrugged and said: "Oh, okay! Blue card John, what reason can I refuse?"
wine came quickly, but Maca was not interested in touching it, he was only interested in getting useful information.
"Mr. Tarino, you must be familiar with the dark side of the magic world, can you chat with me?"
"I think so, but... there is no interesting story there, are you sure you want to hear it?" Tarino spread his hands and confirmed.
"Of course, otherwise, why do you think I would invite you to drink for no reason?" Maca said naturally, "This is a bar, except for wine, it is a story-now that there is wine, of course, we need some stories. "
"Hey! It's really hard to see, you know what's going on here... Okay, well, then tell the story..." Tarino took a sip of wine cautiously, and then went on Said, "Speaking of it, it's actually not stable recently-well, really, I haven't been stable..."
Tarino's intermittent narration, Maca learned for the first time the mess hidden in the shadow of the magical world.
Actually speaking, it is a bit scattered. After all, there is the greatest white wizard in the UK today, Albus Dumbledore, and there has been little major incident in recent years.
It’s just that there are no big things, but small things are always forbidden and inexhaustible.
The Aurors of the Ministry of Magic are all dedicated to their duties, and there are also black wizard hunting teams and strikers specializing in dealing with dangerous criminals, but no matter how tightly guarded they are, there is always time to lose sight of one another.
What's more, there are creatures like werewolves and vampires that are easy to commit crimes by nature, and there are more small messes.
Of course, the recent hot event, of course, is the escape of Sirius Black. The type of criminals who can escape from Azkaban is the type that really makes people headache.
"In other words, someone has seen him recently?" Maca asked.
"Yes! I heard that he was lurking in Hogsmeade!" Tarino whispered, "but he seems to have suffered a leg injury. If this is true, the risk will be reduced. Less——"
"You know, lunatics like Blake, even those wicked dark wizards don't want to provoke them."
"It is true...Although as far as I am concerned, there were a lot of doubts in the incident. Before Black entered Azkaban, he didn't even go through the trial process." Maca nodded.
"Who knows?" Tarino curled his lips when he heard the words, "What tricks are there, no one can say clearly now."
After , Maca followed the topic and talked about something else, and after learning about the little things that were sneaky, he left with Luna.
It's too early, it's time to go back to school.
"Let’s take another secret road when you go back. By now, Ravenclaw’s common room is probably full of people."
Maca led Luna to the screaming hut not far away.
The secret road leading to the beating willow was still so narrow, and it was hard for the two of them to bend all the way to the other end of the secret road.
Maca just showed up, only to find a black dog staring at him with its big round eyes.
"...good evening." Maca blinked.
He really didn't expect it would be such a coincidence that he would run into Sirius Black here. Because of the sudden incident, he really didn't know what to say for a while.
But the next moment, Black, who had become an Animagus form, made a forward pounce.
"Maca?"
Just as Maca hesitated to take out the wand, Luna, who was still bending down in the secret tunnel, said.
Suddenly, Maca stopped, and Black did the same.
The other party looked at Maca, then turned around decisively, ran to the forbidden forest not far away, and quickly disappeared into the bushes on the edge of the forest.
You know, Maca’s wand is still the one that was shot down from Black’s hand.
On that day, Maca still had a disguise on him, so today he did not let the other party discover his identity. But if he took out his wand, the other party would definitely recognize it at a glance.
He can't reveal his identity so quickly. After all, since he failed to subdue Black last time, he can only take a long way around. Some things he had to get from Black.
It's important, and his relationship with Black can't be too stale right now.
"It's okay, come on, the dinner will begin soon."
Maca climbed to the ground, and then stretched out his hand to give Luna a hand. Afterwards, the two walked quickly to the auditorium.
In the shadow on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, Black was looking at the backs of Maca and Luna, with a gleam of doubt in his eyes.
……
As Ron said to Harry, today’s dinner was indeed very rich.
There are hundreds of pumpkin lanterns hanging in the auditorium~IndoMTL.com~There are also a group of bats flying up and down and many orange streamers that are spitting flames-they are floating lazily under the ceiling, like A group of brilliant water snakes.
The food is so exquisite. Even people like Hermione and Ron who ate Honey Duke’s candy so much that their stomachs were about to explode, they also asked for a second portion of each kind of food.
On the faculty seat not far away, Lupin looked happy, and as funny and natural as usual—he was chatting actively with Professor Flitwick, the teacher of the spell class.
Looking down the table, you can see where Snape is sitting.
He is still that cold and old look, and he is still so out of place in the festive atmosphere of the auditorium.
The dinner ended with entertainment provided by the ghost of Hogwarts.
Ghosts suddenly appeared from the walls and tables to make a kind of parade—the "nearly headless Nick" of Gryffindor College successfully reproduced the situation where he was beheaded.
One night, everyone had a great time.
Many students are discussing various things about going to Hogsmeade Village today. Excitement and happiness still remain in their bodies, as if they cannot fall asleep tonight without swaying them clean.
After the dinner was over, Maca went back to the common room with the other Hufflepuff students. But Harry, Ron, and Hermione found that there were many people crowded in front of the common room of Gryffindor Yard--that is, in front of the portrait of the fat lady.
"Why didn't everyone go in?" Ron said strangely.
There are too many people in front of them. They can't see exactly what happened.
Harry tried to stand on his toes and looked forward over the head—the portrait seemed to be closed.
