Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 335: Weird clues in the potions store
() "Kristin, speaking of it... how did you and Charles want to open a shop in this place? It's... not safe, right?"
There are still a lot of customers in the store. Maca and Tonks have been there waiting for Charles to deliver the goods, and they have time to chat with Christine for a while.
"Oh! Tonks, let me tell you... In fact, the boss behind this store is sitting next to you!" Kristen waved his hand, with a refreshing smile on his face, watching It's the same as it was at Hogwarts.
"Huh? Maca is the boss?"
Tonks doesn't know how many times she has been surprised. Since walking out of the door just now, she has felt that she has been surprised by the ensuing accidents.
"Yeah! Tonks, you should also know... You see, Charles and I have a poor family background. Where can I afford to open a potion shop?" Kristen spread his hands and said, "Don't Seeing that this store is not very big, you must know that every inch of land is in the black market! What's more, it costs a lot of money to purchase..."
Christine was sitting behind the checkout counter and chattering, while Charles, who was soliciting customers in front, would steal caring gazes from her from time to time, and occasionally showed a hint of gratitude towards Maca.
Speaking of which, the two of them didn't actually spend much time with Maca. Even if they were all Hufflepuffs, and even had been with the Quidditch team, they didn't have much time to get in touch with Maca.
If you look back and think about it, you can find that Macata spends most of his time on study and research, right?
However, at the original bonfire party to send off the graduates, when the two of them accidentally chatted with Maca a few things about opening a store, they didn't expect Maca to really take it to heart.
This store is not just as simple as giving them a future direction with a lot of money.
If you have to say, their pauper couple can get to the point of getting married so quickly, the financial support that this store brings to them is indispensable.
In the hearts of these future couples who both came out of Hufflepuff College, Maca has actually realized the warm declaration of "We are all Hogwarts" at the bonfire party.
And this happy story of Christine and Charles, I am afraid it will also be one of the many fetters that are born in each year's farewell event.
Even if Maca has not continued to host the event now, his name, as the initiator of the event, has been engraved on the banners of every farewell party.
"Many things, maybe the purpose behind them is not pure, even the process is full of dirt, but as long as the final result is good, what does it matter?"
Between the conversation, Maca watched the faint warmth in the shop with a smile, thinking so with emotion in her heart.
"...So, the situation on the black market is actually worse than outside?"
After the three chatted briefly, Maca obtained some valuable information from Christine.
This is indeed the case. If you want to know the news related to potions, it is undoubtedly a more appropriate way to directly ask the operators of the potions store.
"Yes, as far as I know, there are already a dozen wizards in the black market who have gone crazy..." Christine nodded and said, "However, I think you know that there is nothing wrong with a crazy wizard. The big deal, because you can't use the spell!"
"...So, although there have been a few small disturbances, they were quickly resolved."
Maca nodded clearly, and then asked: "I've found out the reason why the wizards go crazy before—mostly because they took some kind of potion. Do you have any clues here?"
"Well... at least the suppliers in our shop have no problems...ah!" Christine said, suddenly paused, as if recalling something.
"What's wrong? Do you think of anything suspicious?" Tonks couldn't help asking.
"...I remember...probably three or four days ago! A stupefied guy passed in front of the store and knocked over the sign I had erected outside..." Christine recalled , "At the time I thought it was probably drunk or something... You know, it's quite common."
She paused, and then emphatically said: "But now that I think about it, that state seems a lot like those crazy wizards when they are not going crazy."
"Is there anything wrong with that guy?"
"I see him walking forward while whispering something in his mouth... Um..." Kristen thought about it, and then she nodded her head. "Yes, he Saying "Goddess, my goddess, no one can touch"... Well, probably something similar..."
"'Goddess'?'No one can touch'?" Maca repeated these words, lost in suspicious thought.
"...Ah, I'm actually not sure, maybe it's just a drunk guy?" Kristen thought about it, and finally shrugged in confusion.
"This is probably what I know... I don't know if I can help you..."
"No, although I don't understand it for a while, knowing this is already a good harvest." Maca returned to his senses, then smiled and waved his hand.
After that, the three continued to chat for a while, and Maca took Tonks and left.
"Maca, I didn't expect you to be busy all the time, and you have done such a good thing!"
On the side of the road, Tonks said casually while following Maca.
"At any rate, it's my classmate. If you can help, you can help...Anyway, it's a mutually beneficial thing. I happen to be short of staff. I can't worry about finding someone else!" Maca laughed.
"Hey!" Tonks glanced at him and then smiled, "But seriously, we can get a clue so quickly, it seems we are lucky..."
"Yeah, I didn't expect it either." Maca nodded slightly, "Actually, I didn't intend to ask Christine anything-after all, they haven't been on the black market for a long time. ."
"Then what are you doing?" Tonks asked in surprise.
"Take you, senior-senior elder sister, to meet the younger brother and younger sister?" Maca said meaningfully, "How about it, right?"
"Hey, I swore it--I won't get married until I become a real Auror!" Tonks raised his chin and looked proud.
"In short, we still need to find the most professional way to get information," Macka paused, "The place we are going next is our real destination tonight."
After that, Tonks followed Maca around again and again, and finally came to a sparsely populated old square.
In the center of this small square, there is a fountain pond that has long since dried up, and in that pond stands a statue of a wizard that has collapsed in half.
As for the stone-carved chairs around this small square, most of them can no longer sit on people.
But the most interesting thing about this old square is the weird trees all over the place. Those dry and dark branches waved crunchingly without wind, almost covering the entire square.
What makes people feel even more uncomfortable is that the trees are making a lot of murmurs, which is a place that shouldn't be visited no matter what.
"This is really ominous..." Tonks hesitated, "Could it be that... we are going inside?"
"Yes, the entrance is in the fountain's pool." Maca beckoned, "Come with me, don't care about the Siberian howling trees, they are just used to scare people."
"In your mouth, the ghost howling is just'scare'?" Tonks pressed his shoulders, wrinkled his face and emphasized, "How do I remember the book saying , Will the ghost howling wood absorb the soul of creatures?"
"Because the method of dealing with ghost howling wood is so simple, it can only be'scare people'." Maca shrugged and signaled that she was relieved to follow her.
However, when the two of them got closer to the weird tree waving with branches, the original whispering suddenly became loud and extremely harsh.
"Remember? The book says, "Siberian howling woods especially love the cold"." Maca pulled out his wand and waved it forward. "It's just that the author didn't continue to explain. They are encountering What happens when it’s cold..."
Just as he waved his wand, a simple freezing spell fell on the ghost howling tree in front. Almost for an instant, the ghost howling tree howled happily, but the originally dancing branches fell quietly.
"In fact, the author cannot be blamed, because the natural howling trees are concentrated in the northern part of Siberia, the area closest to the Arctic Ocean... The environment is originally very cold, how could the author know that when the ghost howling trees are quilted? What will it look like when transplanted to a warm place?"
"So...it was so harsh just now because it was afraid of heat?" Tonks couldn't help grinning.
"You ask it!" Maca rolled his eyes and said~IndoMTL.com~I am not a howling wood, how do I know what they mean by howling and howling? "
Under the Frozen Curse one by one, the ghost howling trees they passed by dropped down those branches. And as long as you don't touch the ghost howling wood, they are a completely harmless plant.
Of course, it looks scary at best.
After a while, the two came to the fountain pond in the center of the square.
Actually, standing here can see that there is dirt everywhere under the dry pool, which looks extremely dirty. And the broken part of the wizard statue collapsed in the pool, and the broken stones almost scattered into the pool.
Maca pointed his wand at the head of the statue at the bottom of the pool and waved it lightly.
The next moment, the eyes of the stone statue's head suddenly glowed with grey light.
"Membership code,'Silver Eagle 991'." He said softly.
