Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 446: Give you a gold crucible

"...what's your name?"

"Joshua Rockwell."

"Why haven't you spoken during this time?"

"I...I am afraid of Miss Schoen..."

"How much do you know about the girl Helen Schoen?"

"The master discovered her three years ago... She is different from us. Before being taken to the monastery, she already possessed such terrible powers. She can control them without the help of the branding, and Stronger than us."

"...what else?"

"No, I don't know... Then she was taken by her master to another place..."

Under the effect of Veritaserum, Joshua could no longer keep silent. When Maca started to ask questions step by step, he responded sentence by sentence.

"So, did you see something that night?" Maca asked next.

"Yes," Joshua nodded immediately. "I, I didn't notice Miss Schoen lying behind the curtain. That day, I always slept on the bed at the orders of Ms. Pomfrey. But In the night, I was awakened by a sudden movement-I saw a huge spider fighting with a cloud of black fog."

When he recalled the situation, he still seemed to be a little frightened.

"At that time, I was thinking, the master must have sent someone to find me, and the master must punish me again. But the big spider is very powerful, and its ability slows down the speed of the black mist. A lot..." Joshua said tremblingly, "But later, the volume of the black mist suddenly increased several times, and the big spider was knocked out!"

Speaking of this, he paused, and his whole body trembled like chaff.

"I didn't dare to move at all," he said in horror. "Then...then the black mist suddenly rushed in front of me and gathered into Miss Schoen...I think she must have recognized me. ..."

Maca feels that no matter how scared he is, he shouldn't be a virtuous one. Perhaps behind Joshua’s fear, there is also a specific experience hidden.

"Why do you fear her so much? What did she do to you?" Maca asked suddenly.

"I...she..." Joshua seemed to want to grit his teeth, but made a gurgling noise, "Miss Schoen once killed my former companion...killed several! She... …She hates her master, and she hates us as well!"

"I can understand how much I hate that old man, but why does she hate you?" Maca wondered.

Joshua pursed his mouth and couldn't help but say what he was thinking, which made him become more tense, and his breathing became rapid and messy.

"No...I don't know, I don't know..." He said intermittently.

"Then...what happened before she was taken to the monastery, do you know?" Maca shook his head slightly, and had to ask another question.

"No, she never takes the initiative to speak to us, and we rarely speak to her."

The inability to communicate normally is one of the characteristics of silent people. Although Maca didn’t intend to get too detailed information, there is nothing to gain from asking and asking, which is a bit too...

"Last question," Maca thought for a while, "Do you know anything about Helen Schon's mission?"

"Nothing," Joshua replied, "The master sent us to attack the Minoan School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Greece overnight, and then made Miss Schoen pretend to be one of the students."

Maca nodded first, but then frowned slightly.

"It's not that you ‘don’t know’, but that your master simply ‘has not given any specific orders’, is that right?" He thought for a while, and then immediately confirmed.

"Yes." Joshua was definitely authentic.

"Will your master explain to Helen Schon beforehand without your knowledge?"

In response to Maca's natural guess, Joshua shook his head decisively.

"Impossible..." He explained, "Before that mission, Miss Schoen had been performing the last mission. That mission was sudden—the master was just as usual, after coming out of the study. , She was immediately recalled. As soon as she returned to the monastery, we rushed to Greece."

Maca immediately noticed the phrase in Joshua's words "Get out of the study as usual", he was thinking, maybe he was in contact with Greenward?

Just to put it this way, when Greenward was in Newmontgard, he kept communicating with the old man in secret? Does Dumbledore know about this?

After that, Maca continued to ask a few more questions, and finally ended the conversation after finding that there were no other valuable answers.

But he didn't expect that, the next day, Joshua gradually started to speak again. Probably for him, yesterday, inexplicably, you asked and answered with Maca for a while, and unexpectedly opened his self-sealing.

Veritaserum, which was originally used as an interrogation tool, became active in the treatment of mental illness. Maca was also quite surprised.

Because of this, the silent curse that Maca placed around yesterday before starting to interrogate was logically regarded as a confidential treatment by the little wizards in the ward. Because at that time they only saw Maca and Joshua's mouths moving, but they couldn't hear anything.

Like this kind of benign misunderstanding that happens without coincidence, Maca is naturally happy to see it happen. So when a student praised him for the effectiveness of the treatment, he gave it a cheeky acquiescence.

"There is nothing wrong with it anyway, is it?" he thought to himself.

……

That night, after dinner time.

While organizing notes in the ward, he watched Luna finish the sick-looking meal, and finally left the school hospital at the urging of Mrs. Pomfrey.

Today it is the turn of the defense team to start the second meeting. Such activities that can bring more resistance to Hogwarts, he will naturally not ignore it.

Although the growth of those little wizards will definitely take time, if these fine linen can be twisted into a rope, the strength they can withstand should not be underestimated.

After all, the main opponents are Voldemort and Greenward, but they won't attack by just two people. At that time, once Maca confronts a powerful enemy, the biggest threat will actually be the large number of black wizards that follow!

When Maca came to the responsive room, Harry, Hermione and Ron had already arrived first.

"Maca." Hermione stepped forward immediately and greeted softly, "Good evening."

Behind her, Harry and Ron, who were still looking at some Defence Against the Dark Arts books by the shelf, also followed.

"How is it? Are you okay?" Maca confirmed one by one, "I remember you and that Helen were very close, this time--"

"It's okay, of course it's okay." Hermione was saying, but she shook her head slightly, "...No, how could it be okay? But...this time thanks to Ron reminding me and Harry, let us not have Too much time was wasted for this."

"Yes!" Harry also hurriedly said, "If Ron's words were not there, we still don't know when we will be depressed! Obviously time is not enough, but I--"

After hearing this, Maca glanced at Ron subconsciously, only to find that this guy was still embarrassed.

"Don't say that! If I don't mention it, you will surely figure it out soon." He put Harry on the shoulders, "I know you, none of you are the kind to hold things in your heart. , And then let himself breathe out of the idiot. To be honest, only the me who used to be like that..."

"Don't be shy, Ron." Maca smiled and said, "You are doing a good job! My friend has a problem, so I should remind them as soon as possible-you made me feel the true friendship!"

He paused for a while before thinking again: "For this, I think I should give you some presents."

"What are you talking about!" Ron hurried to Maca, he hesitated slightly, and patted him on the shoulder, "Aren't you our best friend?"

When Maca couldn't help feeling so touched, he said with a smile: "What the hell~ IndoMTL.com~ I said buddy... what good stuff are you going to give me?"

Looking at Ron's vivacity, Maca seemed to see him when he first met him in the Burrow. A large proportion of Weasley's children have this kind of personality.

Obviously, Ron has indeed come out of the trough of his life, a kind of vivacious temperament similar to his father Arthur, has begun to awaken from his bones.

"When I think about it," Maca shrugged, "Maybe... a big fully automatic gold crucible is a good choice?"

"Hey!" Ron jumped up immediately, "Isn't that the gift I gave you before?"

But Harry poked him hard in the back.

"Gold crucible! It's a gold crucible!" Harry repeatedly reminded, "It's not gold-plated, it's pure gold!"

"Pure--oh--Merlin's calf!" Ron's eyes widened in an instant, "Really? Maca, are you serious?"

"What's real?"

Just as Ron was pleasantly surprised, the door was opened again, and Neville, Ginny and other members of the Gryffindor House walked in together.

It was Fred and George, who were walking in front, who asked this sentence. The twins said it almost at the same time, even their voices were superimposed on each other.

"No! Nothing!" Ron shouted hurriedly waving his hands.

If the two brothers learned about the pure gold crucible, they would do everything possible to get it, and then they would not hesitate to exchange it for research on their magical prank products.

"Come here! We don't have enough time. Those who arrive first will immediately start to show the results of your self-practice these days..."

Maca stopped talking nonsense, greeted everyone to test their study of rebuilding the spell one by one.
