Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 445: Gradient
"...Harry, Hermione, we can't be so depressed...Remember? We have a lot of things we must do, and we can't waste time in this kind of place."
Ron, who once misunderstood Maca, understands the feeling of being deceived now. But the more he understands, the more he understands that this kind of inner entanglement is actually not helpful to him.
If there was no Maca, then he would probably be the most annoying one now.
But now he vaguely knows that instead of constantly filling his heart with regret or even doubts about friendship, he might as well focus his energy on other more important places.
If they have enough strength to prevent the crisis from happening, they will have more leeway when facing this situation.
At first, with the help of Maca, he saw clearly his mediocre talent. In order not to be thrown further and further by Harry and Hermione, he had to work harder.
It was this kind of vigilance that made him cheer him up at this moment.
At Ron's rare reminder, Hermione and Harry couldn't help but glance at each other. Only then did they discover that they had been obscured by the gloom in their hearts and became immersed in their own world.
"Oh—" Hermione said annoyedly, "I think you are right, Ron."
After awakening a little, Harry suddenly leaned over and turned over his schoolbag.
"Thank you, Ron." As he turned over, he gratefully said, "If you don't tell me, I almost can't remember—we have to continue the spell data that Maca sent us last time as soon as possible. Keep learning."
Although their extra Defence Against the Dark Arts class has only been taken once, it contains enough content for them to practice for a long time. As Ron said, now they really don't have so much time to think about other things.
Especially after witnessing another dangerous arrival, their desire to try to increase their strength became stronger.
Soon, they completely got rid of the worries in their hearts and focused their attention on rebuilding the heavy spell.
……
To be honest, Maca should have a lot to do.
He is going to convey news of the death of the girl named "Zoe" and try to sort out a clue about the previous incident. Of course, he has to make some preparations for going to the secret island of Rowena again. He should even find a more suitable place for the children he sent to Hogwarts.
Clearly there are so many heinous things, but now he dare not leave easily.
For this, he had to write a letter first and send it to Dorset, located on the coast of the English Channel. The Scamanders live there now, and Zoe's grandma should still be there to save relatives.
This letter is undoubtedly very heavy. In fact, the best way to communicate is for him to take a trip in person and tell the matter face to face.
But the current situation does not allow Maca to go out casually. In desperation, he can only hope that Zoe's relatives can be a little considerate.
As for the children rescued from the dungeon, people from the Order of the Phoenix can help to reset them. Even without him, those children might be a little anxious, but I believe that once they are settled down, they should be fine.
So, now Maca is by Luna's side while wondering how the letter should be written to make it less obtrusive.
After all, this letter will definitely be delivered to Mr. Newt Scamander. That was a respected wizard in the field of magical creatures. He should be more cautious in his words because of his feelings and reasons.
While he was hesitating while shaking the quill, Luna, who was leaning on the hospital bed in a daze as usual, suddenly regained consciousness, and unknowingly fell on the one in the corner of the ward. Above the bed.
It was Joshua who was lying there. He was lying silently under the blanket at the moment, without moving.
He, who didn't dare to speak at first, became more silent after the previous faint. Not only did he not speak, but even when others asked him, he never reacted anymore, as if he had covered his whole heart with a hard shell.
Maca also said something to him, trying to get some information from him that night. After all, that night, apart from Helen Schoen and the Eight-eyed Giant Spider, he was the only one who was still in the ward.
But besides the most basic eating and drinking Lazar, this guy will only lie on the sickbed to load the corpse. There are still many students in the school hospital. Even Maca can't use the chanting mantra to obtain information in this situation.
Of course, the panthenist technique cannot be used. Naturally, Maca also has Veritaserum. Maca is planning to "push something" in the water he drank after writing this letter and solving the matter of reporting for Zoe.
But before that, Luna seemed to have some interest in that Joshua.
"...Maca?"
After looking at Joshua’s raised bed from a distance for a while, she spoke softly.
"What's the matter?" After hearing the sound, Maca immediately took away his attention from the letter paper that had just written the initial format, and looked at Luna on the hospital bed, "Do you want to have afternoon tea?"
Luna shook her head slightly, and gestured to that side with her light white fingers.
"He seems to be in pain..." she said softly, "If you are immersed in pain, you usually ignore more beautiful things, don't you?"
"Really?" Maca followed her gaze and looked over, "I think you are right, his heart should be very painful."
After all, he is a silent person, and pain and depression are the source of their strange power. If there is no such unspeakable distress, then they will not be silent.
"Maca, do you know Yeya?" Luna's topic suddenly started to jump again, she asked in a daze, "That's an interesting creature."
"Well," Maca nodded, "Only those who have witnessed and understood the death can see them...They fly very fast, and the sense of direction is amazing."
"However, some people think that seeing them is an unknown symbol, saying that they will cause disaster." Luna blinked, somewhat disapprovingly, "So many people don't like to see them, even if they do. Dare to approach, but dodge in a hurry."
"Yes..."
Maca didn't know why Luna mentioned Ye Qi suddenly. He only knew that this girl would be like this from time to time, and she always speaks in an unconstrained manner.
But when Maca was about to follow the topic of Ye Qi to continue talking, he seemed to realize something, and returned his gaze to Joshua again.
To be honest, isn't the existence of the silent person actually similar to Ye Qi?
Everyone is disgusted and afraid of them, thinking that they will cause disasters and cause unnecessary losses to themselves. But all this has nothing to do with them at all.
Yeqi is just a special kind of magical creature, and the silent one is just a special kind of wizard.
The special feature of night skies is shown in their characteristics. Once linked to death, people will always feel uneasy and instinctively avoid them.
As for the silent, they are even more unfortunate.
Originally, they are all children with magical potential. If their talents are not suppressed, they will all become true wizards and embark on their own magical journey.
A few centuries ago, when wizards were still mixed in the Muggle world, the huge Muggles persecuted them in every possible way because they were afraid of the power of wizards. However, several large-scale witch trials have popularized this concept of hatred of wizards on a large scale.
That period of darkness, which is aimed at wizards everywhere, has therefore become the period with the largest number of silent people.
At least for now, as wizards and Muggles live elsewhere, the chance of silent ones has been greatly reduced. Over time, even this term has been forgotten by most wizards.
There is no doubt that the silent people who are forcibly "made" in this era, each of them is the most unfortunate.
Thinking of this~IndoMTL.com~Maca also understood what Luna wanted to express.
The silent person who has pain in his heart and is not understood by others needs everyone to convey goodwill. There is nothing wrong with them, only the people who made them like this.
This is the case with Joshua, who is also in the ward now, and Helen Schoen, who is lurking at Hogwarts and wounding, is probably the same.
Similar to Joshua, who has a tragic past hidden in his heart, the reason Helen Schoen created such an attack will probably cause one to sigh.
Of course, it's hard to know why she did this.
"No," Maca thought for a while, but then secretly said, "Maybe this Joshua knows it."
Although Helen is dead, and the old wizard, one of the culprits, has also exploded into a rain of blood, but most of the other silent ones are still alive!
Even if you know it, it's useless, but maybe you can get some clues about Greenward from it?
Maca nodded silently in her heart, and remembered the question in her heart.
At this time, he saw Luna opened the latest issue, and turned his attention to the magazine, and then he clenched the quill again, staring at the still blank letter paper and started to stare at it.
While he sometimes frowned and thought, and sometimes he started to write, the faint sunlight was hidden by the clouds floating in the distance. Before long, snowflakes once again filled the world outside the window.
Most of the students in the ward looked outside, quietly admiring the whiteness flying all over the sky.
"...It's almost Christmas, right?" I don't know who suddenly said.
Suddenly, amidst the quiet discussions of the kitty eagles, the gradually enriched festive atmosphere dilutes the coldness in the ward, and a warmth comes from everyone's heart.
