Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 399: New York at two o’clock in the morning
() After Maca and Harry separated that day, he left Hogwarts and disappeared into the bushes at the school gate.
As far as Sirius asked Hedwig to pass the blood book, he must be in some very bad situation. But since even Hedwig can fly away, it might still be in time.
But Maca did not expect that when he reappeared from the space movement of the door key, he would cross the North Atlantic directly.
……
New York, USA, at two o'clock in the morning.
New York in the middle of the night is not dark and gloomy.
Even if it had just rained, the dark clouds in the sky had not disappeared with the night wind, and the dazzling neon lights and a large number of traffic headlights illuminated the entire street like daylight.
Muggle citizens linger in New York’s night life, walking fast or slow on the street, enjoying the unique and wonderful air after the rain.
Beside this bustling street, in a dark and damp alley, there is a small spider hanging upside down under the eaves of a bakery.
Suddenly, a shimmering light flickered in the belly of the spider, and with a slight soft noise, the space under the eaves contracted and twisted strangely.
"Wow!"
A teenager with a costume different from that of Muggles suddenly appeared in the twisted space, and then sat down in the trash can directly under the spider.
"Call—"
The boy sighed with a subtle expression, then waved his hand gently.
Suddenly, the trash can suddenly turned over for half a week, and he poured out all the trash in him. But I never thought that this young man was agile and stood firmly on the ground, and the garbage was stagnant in the air.
I saw him stretch out his hand again and waved his hand as if dusting off the dust. The trash can and all kinds of trash in the air were immediately restored to their original state as if the film was rewinding.
This boy is naturally Maca.
Just like the last time he sneaked into the British Ministry of Magic, he painted a positioning rune on the belly of each eight-eyed giant spider. The flexible use of the door key can make him a little relieved of the abnormal apparition. trouble.
"Is there a jet lag?" Maca looked around and said casually, "Little Eight, come down!"
He beckoned to the upper eaves without raising his head, but saw a flash of gray in the eyes of the spider crawling under the eaves, and obediently let go of his eight legs and landed on the back of his hand.
"Don't look for this kind of place to lie down next time." Maca said in an angry manner.
As he said, he confirmed again that there were no Muggles...or something else. Then he turned and walked deep into the alley.
"Little Eight, where is Sirius?"
In the dim alley that the street lights can't find, he raised his back and asked the spider about the situation.
"...attack...separate..."
It is not easy for spiders to learn to speak. Their father Aragok spent decades with the help of Hagrid, and Xiaoba is obviously better at learning than their father.
But even so, in its crunchy voice, the intermittent patchwork of vocabulary is still quite fragmented. It seems that Maca needs a lot of work to wait for them to have a smooth conversation.
Because the time is not easy, Maca used the technique of panic, gently and accurately read what Xiaoba thought and saw.
"The silent one...?"
Although Xiao Ba hides near Sirius most of the time, but his wisdom is not enough to understand what to observe.
In these days when Sirius left Black’s old house, apart from occasionally running out to hunt while Sirius was resting, Sirius had been hiding in Sirius’s ragged robes for the rest of the time.
It wasn't until the moment when Sirius was suddenly violently attacked, did it take the initiative to run out and join the battle to protect Sirius.
However, their opponent is a strange and powerful black mist.
To be honest, the alienated eight-eyed giant spider modified by the hand of Maca is indeed terrifying. Although the basilisk's instant gaze ability did not seem to be fully inherited for some reasons, the petrification effect of its four pairs of gray eyes is outstanding.
Neither living creatures nor dead ghosts can escape the impact of Petrified’s sight.
Even Maca has not yet ascertained the specific nature of the Silent Black Mist, but under Xiao Ba's gaze is covered with a layer of visible gray, and his actions have become much slower.
Unfortunately, there were not one or two silent people who attacked Sirius, but a total of four!
Xiao Ba dragged two of them, but the black mist that came in from the other direction forced Sirius to fight and avoid, so he broke away from Xiao Ba's protection range and disappeared.
"I hope Sirius will be safe and sound..." Maca put Xiaoba into the sleeve of the wizard robe, frowning thinking, "The key is...what is he doing in America?"
Harry's owl, Hedwig, is not enchanted to maintain long-distance flight, and it is not correct in terms of time. He is not sure whether Sirius is still in the United States.
But now that Sirius has come here, he has shelved his actions because of the attack. So, as long as he is not dead, he will definitely set foot on the land of New York again.
According to Sirius's stubborn stubbornness to swear to achieve goals, Maca believes that his speculation should be right.
"So, now the question is...Where is he?"
In the end, looking for Sirius and confirming its condition is naturally the first priority. He didn't want to never see that reckless but true temperament man with passion.
After experiencing Dumbledore's death, Maca became clear in her heart-even if she died, there should be a proper reason and a cemetery for people to mourn.
Death or alive, he should find the hopeless fool.
After reconfirming that no one was watching, Maca took out the staff and stretched it forward. In his vision, the flow of magic power became swift, and Sirius's name was outlined on the top of the staff.
"Every person's name is magical. The longer that name is used and the more people are known, the stronger the corresponding magical power will be."-This is from "Name Magic" A sentence.
Knowing Gui knows, how to apply it is a confusing subject.
Use magic to add meaning to your name, just like Voldemort did. This is not difficult for Maca personally.
But if the subject is someone else’s name, there are more things to be involved.
Using names to find people, even if they only perceive a general location, it takes considerable effort to analyze the person’s personality, habits, appearance, experience, etc.
In short, you must know as much as possible about the other person.
Fortunately, Maca's knowledge of Sirius is quite abundant, and he has covered all aspects that should be known and aspects that should not be known.
"...Um." A few minutes later, Maca shook his head.
The result of the induction can only be described in one word, and that is "chaos".
In the process of detection and search, all people or objects related to Sirius will interfere with the detection. The more closely related things are, the greater the interference.
If one of Sirius’s treasure is regarded as himself, Maca will have a headache.
Fortunately, the target identified by Maca seems to be somewhere in New York. If you want to say the general direction...
"...is it west-southwest?"
If you perceive another location, Maca's suspicion will definitely be stronger. But if it's the same in New York, the possibility of Sirius himself is more likely.
After all, he hadn't heard of Sirius once in New York.
Without thinking about it anymore, Maca cast a phantom spell on herself, then stepped on the heavy magic book and flew into the air in the direction of perception.
During the fast flight, the colorful streets under Maca gradually receded, and he quietly left behind. After a while, the lights below began to diminish, and the dimness of the night slowly became the dominant color in the field of vision.
The dark clouds above my head still look heavy and depressed, and the previous rain does not seem to be the last rain of the night. The tidal air kept whistling in Maca's ears, causing him to have the illusion of being wet.
He continued to fly forward in a place that was not too high above the city, but at a certain moment, he seemed to be aware of something, and the magic book under his feet spun with his body suddenly to the ground. Suddenly lowered.
It is a narrow street with no people, and the surrounding houses are not too high. Not far away is a dense medium-sized residential area.
On both sides of this street, shops that are no longer open at night have their doors closed, and only one or two supermarkets are still lit. On this quiet street, beside the pale yellow street lamp, there was a sense of loneliness permeated.
Maca didn't care about the supermarket. After two quick steps~IndoMTL.com~, he turned around and walked to the side of an old-fashioned pizza restaurant.
This pizzeria looks more dated than the shops on both sides, not only the signs are broken and faded, but even the windows have only a circle of frames left.
On the side door handle of the pizzeria, there is a "temporary suspension" notice.
The reason why Maca noticed this pizzeria is because it is constantly exuding regular fluctuations of magic power, showing the curse hidden in it.
"Anyway, go in and see..."
He lifted the phantom curse on his body, put away the somewhat conspicuous staff, and then reached out to hold the doorknob, and twisted it with a "click".
The door was opened smoothly by him, and he took a light step and walked inside. But his body didn't walk into the pizza shop where he could see, but disappeared with a faint fluctuation.
The side door of the pizzeria slowly closed, and a light breeze blew the door, blowing the old sign standing next to the side door, making a few "crunchy" sounds.
