Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 334: The sorrow of the leftover woman
() Kingsley's blood test results came out soon.
Any potion taken internally will have the phenomenon of drug precipitation. This is because potions generally cannot be completely absorbed by the body.
That part of the residue is usually filtered by the human body within a period of time, and then slowly discharged from the body. Just because you have to wait for that part of the residue to dissipate automatically with the magic contained in it, the discharge time is not short.
Just, how can I put it...
"...The cause of Kingsley's symptoms can already be determined to be a certain kind of potion. But the specific potion can not be seen by blood test alone..."
In the reception room, Maca and other members of the Order of the Phoenix are having a meeting. The content of the meeting is of course about Kingsley and the series of cases.
It's just that there are not so many things to say at the moment. When Maca finished talking about Kingsley's inspection, the atmosphere became a little dull again.
"Ah... by the way, I haven't seen Lena since just now. Where did she go?" Mrs. Weasley's sudden opening broke the rigid atmosphere.
"Oh, I asked her to find Sirius, she should be back soon." Maca raised his head from the pile of materials and shrugged.
"That guy, he always thinks about messing up when he is anxious." Lupin sighed, holding his forehead.
"In fact, it's okay to be impulsive. In this case, it's not that you can't understand his mood..." Maca blinked and said, "If the momentum of Sirius was not there, the Order of the Phoenix would not. It is as efficient as it is now-I am very fortunate that I gave him the report documents and planning documents to send and receive, and it was a correct decision."
The fact is true. Maca, Lupin, and Kingsley only made general plans for the task, and the specific repairs were all handled by Sirius, who "has been stuck in the old house of Black".
I have to say that although Sirius is a bit impulsive, his actual ability is very strong, and he is not "not good at using his brain" as he said when he evaluated himself.
"So, don't worry about Sirius for the time being, he can escape from Azkaban, and he's still in and out of Hogwarts. For a while! It shouldn’t be...Huh?"
Maca gave a whisper as he spoke, and then turned over the report in his hand again.
"What's wrong? Did you find anything?" Lupin looked at him.
"Well...maybe I really found something..." Maca lined up a few pieces of information paper on the desktop, and then typed a few words on them, "It seems that Kingsley’s The investigation was not completely futile-he seemed to have touched some hidden clues."
"What clue?" Tonks immediately got a shock.
"These so-called'crazy wizards' are not completely unrelated...between them, there is one unremarkable, but reasonable and reasonable thing in common!" Maca pointed to the documents, " Kingsley found some contraband in their homes."
"Prohibited items?" Lupin walked around the long table and came to Maca, looking down at the paper.
"Yes," Maca clicked the paper on the table one by one, "Wind snake gall, ancient jaw flower species, cursed necklace, melted blood powder... These things are all prohibited by the Ministry of Magic. Within."
"You mean...A dark wizard came into contact with them and then sold them the potion that caused the disease?" Lupin subconsciously speculated.
"It's not impossible what you said, but... No matter where they bought it from, the'source' will never run away." Maca picked up the quill and circled one of the words. , "The key is'this'!"
"Melted blood powder?" Lupin said in a puzzled way, "Speaking of which...what is melted blood powder?"
"A semi-finished catalyst used in potions is very toxic..." Maca threw the quill into the ink bottle and explained, "Of course, the point is not its efficacy, but ...This thing was actually invented by me, and...only sold in the black market!"
……
At ten o'clock that night, both Maca and Tonks changed their appearances and dresses, and walked together in the dim black market.
Maca "heightened" herself a little bit, with a mask that had undergone a transformation technique on her face, and she was also wearing a large old-fashioned wizard robe. On top of his head, a wide-brimmed pointed hat concealed his entire head in the shadows.
Beside him, Tonks used Yirong Magnus to transform and easily dressed himself as a slightly thin male wizard.
"Is this the long-rumored black market?" Tonks looked around and looked around. "Wow! It really has everything...Is this a fire dragon egg? A whole big basket!"
"Stop looking around, look at the way!"
Maca pulled Tonks aside, only to be close to hitting the lamppost of the street lamp.
After leaving the black market last time, Maca has come here alone a few times, and has negotiated consignment agreements with several shops.
To be honest, let's not talk about Maca's accomplishments in serious potions, at least some of the "wrong ways" he smashed out have always been very popular.
"Here, follow up..." As he said, he walked to a small alley beside the main road, "The road here is very winding and it is easy to get lost."
"Where are we going?" Tonks asked casually after taking two quick steps.
"Anyway, first ask someone you know about the news. In this kind of place, there is always no shortage of gossip."
The two kept moving forward in a dark and damp alley. After a while, Tonks was almost fainted.
"Here."
Maca stood at the back door of a house and greeted Tonks who was a little dizzy. Then he opened the door with his magic wand without knocking.
When Tonks saw Maca rushing in without hesitation, he carefully followed behind him.
As soon as she walked in, she found the environment here was very depressing. When she looked around, she realized that the source of depression not only came from darkness and crowding, but most importantly, the roof here was too low.
It can be seen that this is a small warehouse because there are shelves all around. The shelves are densely covered with dust, as if they can be dusted off with a single wipe.
And the bottles and cans on the shelves are mostly covered by dust, and even the labels on the top can't be seen clearly.
Every step the two of them took, a soft noise was left on the loose wooden floor. In this quiet warehouse, the sound of "ta-ta-ta" footsteps is so clear that people can't help but want to relax.
"Don't be nervous, there is no danger here, it's just an unused warehouse."
Maca didn't look back, but his calm words always made people feel at ease.
"Ah...hmm."
Tonks knew that Maca couldn't see it, but he nodded subconsciously.
"Oh, that's right," Maca paused suddenly, "Let's release Yirong Magnus first. The people we want to meet don't need to hide their identities for a while."
The two walked for a while, turned a few bends between the shelves, and soon came to another closed wooden door.
Seeing that Maca smashed it away with a magic wand again, she didn't feel polite at all, which made Tonks's doubts even worse.
"This guy...how does it look like in my own house?" She couldn't help but muttered to herself.
As the door creaked open in front of you, a warm orange light spread from outside the door, sweeping away the tension in Tonks' heart.
Don't look at the careless look of Tonks, but she is actually a big girl who is easy to get nervous. When a rookie Auror was performing missions at the Ministry of Magic, she not only often thought about things, but also always had some unnecessary concerns about the mission environment.
Only at certain critical moments, this big girl has an unusually strong side.
When the two of them stepped out of the warehouse one after another, Tonks, who followed behind, observed the surrounding situation habitually.
This is obviously a shop, and it seems that the space is not small.
Two rows of merchandise racks are closely arranged on both sides of the store, with large and small potion bottles neatly arranged on the top, and detailed effect explanations are also erected next to them.
In the very center of the shop, all kinds of baskets, sacks, and boxes are piled up in a pile, and they are full of different kinds of magic materials.
Next to them is a long strip of cash register. At this moment, they came out of the door behind the cash register.
"Hey! Christine!" Maca yelled at the short-haired witch who was lying on the cash register, writing and drawing.
The other party suddenly turned his head when he heard the sound, showing a refreshing smile.
"Huh? Christine?" Tonks was obviously taken aback, "You... why are you here?"
"Oh! Isn't this Tonks?"
In Tonks's surprised gaze, the short-haired witch who was mostly neatly dressed quickly walked up to her and immediately gave her a big hug.
"Long time no see~IndoMTL.com~Tonks!" Christine said happily.
"This...Is this the store you opened?" Tonks looked around the store again and asked in surprise.
"Yes! I drove it with Charles." Christine said, and whispered, "Charles and I have decided to get married. You must come to the wedding party then!"
"Oh--this is--I didn't expect it." Tonks widened his eyes.
The witch named "Christine" in front of her, and the "Charles" in her mouth, were the same two chasers when Maca first joined the Hufflepuff Quidditch team. Seniors.
In that provisional selection, Maca and the two of them completed a "trident offensive formation" without rehearsal...Well, that can only be regarded as "almost" completed.
As for Tonks, as a "real school sister" who is also from Hufflepuff, at the moment I heard that the school girl is about to get married, her glass heart...
The ground broke with a sound of "wow".
