Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 281: Harry’s Shadow

"Ron and Hermione will explain everything to you clearly, dear, I really have to go quickly," Mrs. Weasley whispered distractedly, "here..."

They came to the second platform of the stairs.

"The second door on the right hand side, I will call you when the meeting is over."

After speaking, she hurriedly went downstairs again.

Harry walked across the bright and clean landing, put his hand on the snake-head-shaped bedroom door handle, and was about to turn the handle to open the door.

"Click"

Harry was taken aback when he heard the sound. It was undoubtedly the sound of a door opening, but he hadn't turned the doorknob yet?

No, the voice came from the left.

Harry turned his head subconsciously to take a look, only to see that a door was closed again with a "click". A second before the door was closed, he seemed to see a familiar figure.

"Ah!"

Those white-washed T-shirts, jeans, and long hair with a shawl weren't **** this time, but look at the rich and pure black, they are very familiar at this moment.

It was the cowardly woman who came to him for directions before!

"Why is she here?" Harry murmured suspiciously.

Although he wants to know the reason very much now, and even feels a little itchy in his heart, this is pure curiosity, but it doesn't seem to be a good time to ask rashly.

Since the other person is here now, it seems that he is still staying, so I should find a chance to ask if there is no problem in the future.

Thinking of this, Harry shook his head and opened the bedroom door in front of him.

He only had time to glance at the room illuminated by the magic lamp, the high ceiling, and the two single beds side by side.

In the next instant, Harry heard a harsh squeak, which was a sharper scream, and then a lot of shaggy, messy hair appeared in his sight.

Hermione dashed up to him and frightened him back several steps. Ron's little owl piglet was flying excitedly above them.

"Harry! Ron, he is here, Harry is here! We didn't hear you come in!"

"Oh, how are you? How are you doing? Are you angry with us? You must be angry...I know our letters are useless nonsense..."

"But ah! But! We can't tell you anything, they want us to swear not to say anything... Oh! We have so many things to tell you, and you have so many things to tell us"

"Dementor! We heard! You met a dementor on the street...that was terrible, but fortunately Maca sent Kingsley to protect you secretly...oh...and today , They received news that there is another dementor..."

"Let him take a breath, Hermione." Ron said, smiling and closing the door behind Harry.

Ron’s stature seems to have moved very fast recently, and during the time they were separated, he seemed to have grown a few inches taller, which made him appear slender and clumsy than before.

But the long nose, the fiery red hair, and the freckles on that face are still exactly the same as before.

Even though Hermione was interrupted by Ron, her face was still full of joy.

But without waiting for her to say anything, I heard a slight whirr, and a white object flew over from the top of the black closet and landed lightly on Harry's shoulder.

"Hedwig!"

Harry stroked the feathers of this snow-white owl, its mouth made a clicking sound, and gently pecked Harry's ear affectionately.

"It has been irritable," Ron said. "It almost pecked us half to death when it brought you the last two letters. Look at this."

He raised the index finger of his right hand to show Harry, there was an apparently deep wound on it that was about to heal.

"Oh," Harry said ashamed, "I'm so sorry, but I want an answer, you know"

To be honest, his mood is actually much better now.

If it were placed a few days ago, when Mrs. Weasley had to push him up just now, he would definitely argue a little more. But although he felt uncomfortable just now, he didn't say much.

Because even Maca tried to speak for him, but after encountering the five dementors before, he once again understood his lack of strength.

Maca can cast magic outside without hesitation, that's because he has enough ability that he can even release the patron saint spell without a wand.

This gap is no longer enough to make Harry unwilling. Apart from being motivated, there are no other unnecessary feelings.

But in fact, Hermione and Ron have been stimulated more recently than Harry's awakening.

You know, now in this Order of the Phoenix, Maca is the only commander! And what is his ability to make so many adult wizards act?

He relied not only on magical strength, but also on his wisdom and leadership.

Most of Maca’s recent command operations have not concealed Hermione and Ron, and in such a tense task arrangement, he even has room to explain part of the purpose of the mission to Hermione and Ron.

Leave aside Ron, at least in the process, Hermione did gain a lot.

It's just that, there was something that made Hermione very dissatisfied that she had plucked up the courage to come to a declaration of love last time, but Maca decisively refused it at the second meeting.

Although she refused very simply, it made her feel very depressed! But she thought about it carefully, if Maca didn't say anything, she would be more irritated, right?

Of course, do you want this lady to retire? I am Hermione Jane Granger, not a girl who would shrink so easily!

"Hermione...Hermione?"

"Huh?"

She came back abruptly, only to find that Harry was staring at her worriedly!

"Oh, I'm okay! It's okay," Hermione said with a slight embarrassment, "Where did you go?"

The matter she took the initiative to confess to Maca strongly will of course not be told to Ron. Even if this matter is actually instigated by Ron, she is still a bit shy to tell her.

At this moment, Ron didn't care much. He took Harry's words just now and continued on.

"...Actually, we want to give you an answer too, buddy," Ron said. "Hermione was so worried...she kept saying that if you stay stuck there, you won't get any news. , You will definitely do something stupid. But they force us..."

"Swear not to tell me," Harry shrugged, "Yes, Hermione has already said it."

In the final analysis, being excluded by myself, I am still a little unhappy.

There was a slightly dull silence, and Harry stroked Hedwig lightly, falling into a little thought.

"They seem to think this is the most appropriate thing," Hermione seemed unhappy seeing her good friend, and couldn't help but explain again, "I mean Ron's parents"

Ron also nodded helplessly. To be honest, he was a little doubtful who was the Weasley's child. The Weasleys seemed to be overprotecting Harry.

"Yeah..." Harry noticed that Hermione's hand also had the scar that was pecked by Hedwig, and an apologetic came up in his heart, "Forget it! It's okay, I was just a little... "

As he was talking, he was taken aback again, frowning as if thinking of something.

"Wait!" Harry said suddenly, "Hermione, did you just say... Maca sent someone to protect me secretly?"

"Yes! His name is Kingsley, a dark-skinned Auror, I heard he is still an elite!" Hermione nodded and said, "In the beginning, Sirius wanted to arrange another person to go, but Maca replaced the candidate with him."

"No wonder that day..."

Harry immediately recalled the scene of the first encounter with the Dementor.

Although the dementor didn't really appear that night, he actually noticed a familiar warmth that must be the patron saint cast by Kingsley!

"So, why do they keep me in the dark?" Harry shook off the dissatisfaction of being stalked ~IndoMTL.com~ and asked in a puzzled manner, "You...hmm...have you asked them? ?"

When he looked up, he caught a glimpse of the two of them exchanging eyes, which seemed a little unspeakable, but this made him even more puzzled.

Finally, they nodded, and then Hermione spoke.

"It was the decision made by Maca, he..." Hermione hesitated, "He said,'Harry is not in good shape right now. He needs to get rid of the shadow of the top three first, otherwise he is not suitable to participate. .'"

"...shadow in the top three matches..."

Harry understood the meaning of Maca's words all at once.

Yes, he understands! And unfortunately, he has not been able to get out of it so far.

In the incident that caused Luna to be seriously injured, Harry always condemned himself deep in his heart that he couldn't help but do it!

If the Gryffindor sword were now on the floor in front of him, he would even escape from this bedroom immediately, without hesitation.

The Gryffindor sword can't be picked up by anyone, and he can use it to slay a fire dragon, but now he doesn't even have the courage to take a look.

A Gryffindor who has lost courage, or is it Gryffindor?

"Maca was right..." Harry couldn't help but drooping, "I'm not as smart as Hermione, you can only rely on magic and the Gryffindor sword if you want to come in handy... But now ..."

"Don't say that," Ron scratched his head. With a complex face, "At least you are better than me...I am the one who should work hardest..."

"No!" Harry blinked his eyes and pondered carefully before saying, "You are much better at chess than me!"

"Hi! Don't comfort me!" Ron covered his face and sighed, "What's the matter with playing chess? Can I still use chess pieces to kill the mysterious person!"
