Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 122: Within the calculation, outside the plan


   Just as Lupin, who was transformed into a werewolf, rushed towards Maca again, Maca stepped back and pointed the tip of his wand firmly to the ground between Lupin and him. .

   "Bone to pieces!" "Bang!"

   With a blast, large chunks of mud and rock mixed with turf splashed, and Lupin, who was rushing towards him, was completely enveloped in it.

   Although the momentum is quite strong, it obviously won't cause any harm to the werewolf. This kind of behavior seems a bit redundant.

   But at the next moment, Maca pointed his wand in Lupin's direction again—more precisely, he pointed it at a large mass of mud hitting Lupin's arm!

   What is he going to do?

   If someone is watching at this moment, there must be such doubts. It's just a pity that there is no audience present here, and no one can see the spell application skills he will show next.

   I saw the mass of mud deformed in mid-air, and quickly wrapped around Lupin's left arm, turning into a metal ring shining brightly.

   "Floating into the air!"

   This is the last spell. Maca controlled the hoop and directly let Lupin's feet leave the ground. Immediately afterwards, he slammed his wand, and the hoop dragged Lupin into a fit and fell to Maca's feet.

  , who had been waiting there long ago, raised the syringe held tightly in his left hand, and steadily stuck it on the side of Lupin's neck, pushing the medicine into his body.

   This is a beautiful combination of spells. Each spell is closely followed by the next. It is fast and accurate, and cleverly reduces the effect of the spell directly on the werewolf to avoid it. Up.

   The type and power of the spells used in it are not beyond the scope of what ordinary students can learn. In theory, any senior student in Hogwarts can do it.

   Lupin was still struggling after being injected with the potion, trying to get up from the ground, and after a while he finally fell asleep.

   I have to say that the various resistances of werewolves are really terrifying.

   Seeing that Lupin had calmed down, he had time to take a look at the castle, and then dragged Lupin all the way to Hagrid’s cabin with a floating spell.

   Soon, he found Blake, who had turned back into a human form, under the beating willow, but he did not find any traces of it here.

   "Where is Peter?" Maca asked Black who was sitting next to the secret path.

   In fact, he had already guessed it roughly without asking.

   "...he ran off again!" Black's eyes flashed with anger, and the dirty face was terrifying.

  Maca glanced into the secret tunnel that had been opened, and couldn't see anything in the dark. Needless to say, Black must have searched the Screaming Shack, but obviously he didn't find it.

   He turned his head and glanced at Lupin who was still asleep, his brows frowned.

   Although Maca doesn't know when Peter Pettigrew escaped, it will definitely not be now.

   To tell the truth, he didn’t care too much about this, because he had already made up his mind to face Voldemort on his own--that guy would definitely return. I’m afraid there’s Peter Pettigrew. The results are similar.

   But things still deviated from his expectations, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

   "Although he has left behind, Peter's escape time is inexplicably advanced, but an unknown factor has been added to the original plan out of thin air..." Maca kept thinking in his heart, and then shook it again after a while. He shook his head, "Forget it, let's find out about Lupin first!"

   "I'm afraid this has nothing to do with Peter Pettigrew's escape..." He couldn't help thinking.

  The potion of wolf poison needs to be taken in advance, and it will definitely not work if it is poured down now, so you can only wait honestly.

   As for the period of weakness after turning back into a human form, it doesn't matter much.

   Under Maca’s urging, Black took Lupin and him to the Screaming Shack, so that people who came out to search would not find them.

   until the sky shone, Lupin gradually recovered his body.

   "Professor Lupin?" "Lupin."

   Maca and Black shouted at Lupin who had just opened their eyes.

   "Hmm...what..." Lupin understood it by himself when he was halfway through his words, "I'm transformed again? And it's still...Is the wolf's poison potion not working?"

   He raised his head hurriedly, just about to ask something, but he immediately saw Black.

  "Sirius?"

   Black nodded silently, as a greeting.

   Lupin looked at him intently, with a certain suppressed emotion in his tone: "Why did you come out, Sirius?"

   Black has no expression on his face, he sits still on the spot. After a few seconds, he said dullly: "I have to do something..."

Maca on the side of    couldn't help shaking his head and said: "Professor Lupin, he came out to catch Peter Pettigrew."

   "What?" Lupin suddenly turned to Maca's side.

  "Do you know Ron's pet mouse?" Maca asked back, "The one called'Scaly'."

   There was a hint of surprise on Lupin's face, but that was all. This shows that, in fact, he has already had some speculation in his mind.

  "That means--but--" Lupin turned his head back and looked at Blake intently, as if reading his mind, "Why didn't he reveal the truth before?"

   "Unless—" Lupin's eyes suddenly widened, as if looking at something other than Black, the focus of his gaze wandering in the air in front of him.

  "Unless he is that...unless you...change it without telling me?"

  Black raised his head and stared at Lupin's face, then nodded slowly.

   Lupin, regardless of his physical weakness, struggled to get up and walked to Black, grabbed his hand and pulled him up hard, and then they hugged each other like two brothers.

   "Friendship between men?" Maca stroked her chin, revealing a pensive look.

   The two patted each other on the back, and then sat down separately. It seems that they need to have a good chat—especially about Peter Pettigrew.

   "Professor Lupin," Maca said first, "I think, before then, I have to understand the problem of the wolf poison potion...Is the bottle still on your body?"

   "It's in my office, but I haven't lost it yet. Let's take a look at it later." Lupin said, "Actually, I also want to know what went wrong... I hope I didn't hurt. Anyone."

   Maca shrugged and said: "It shouldn't be. You jumped out of the window right after the howl of transformation, and then you rushed towards me. There was no chance to hurt others."

   "Oh—" Lupin asked nervously, "Are you okay?"

   "Of course, I injected you some medicine that can make you sleepy. There is no problem." Maca said, spreading his hands to indicate that it was nothing.

   Lupin has long been accustomed to Maca’s weird performance. When he confirmed that Maca was not injured, he couldn't help but knocked on the iron ring that was still hanging on his arm.

   "So, what did you do to me?" he couldn't help asking.

   "You know, the werewolf's skin has a strong anti-magic effect, so... I can only rely on other things to knock you down." Maca explained, "Otherwise, I want to get close to a standing one. Werewolves are really a very difficult thing."

   "...I really want to do something for you." Lupin said bitterly.

   "Then there is no need," said Maca, and stood up, "Professor Lupin, and Uncle Blake, you are here to reminisce about the past, I will go back for breakfast first."

   The two looked at the back of Maca's departure, and they couldn't help but glance at each other, with a hint of wonder in their eyes.

  ……

   The Easter holiday does not really relax people.

   There have never been so many homework assignments for third-grade students. Neville seems to be on the verge of a nervous breakdown, and he is not the only one.

   "This is also called a holiday!" One afternoon, Seamus Finnigan shouted in the common room, "The exam is still far away, what are they doing?"

   But no one is as busy as Hermione~ IndoMTL.com~ Even though she no longer takes divination classes for some reason, she still takes more classes than anyone else.

   At night, she is usually the last to leave the common room; and the next morning, she is the first to go to the library. She already had shadows under her eyes like Lupin's, and the endless busyness seemed to make her a little nervous, giving people the feeling that she would shed tears at any time.

  Ron has taken over the Buckbeak case.

   When he was not doing his homework, he was engrossed in reading thick dossiers. The titles of these dossiers were: "The Psychological Manual of Gryphon, Horse Body and Winged Beasts", "Poultry or Monsters?" ", "Study on the Brutality of Eagle Head, Horse Body and Winged Beasts" and so on.

   He was completely immersed in it recently, and even forgot to be a little bit fierce towards Crookshanks.

  At the same time, Harry had to squeeze time out of Quidditch training every day to do his homework, not to mention endless discussions about tactics with Wood.

   Incidentally, the game between Gryffindor and Slytherin will be held on the first Saturday after Easter.

   As for Maca, after he detected the sugar in the bottle of the wolf poison potion, he already had a number in his heart—that must have been secretly made by Peter Pettigrew.

   I don’t know when and how he did it, but the suspicion is almost obvious at a glance.

   And now, he has probably ran to his old master to show his loyalty-or simply seek refuge, who knows?

   It’s useless to think more about it. Maca decided to settle the Buckbeak issue first. Although he missed a whole day because of the accident, this matter was not so urgent after all.
