Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 76: School is about to start


   "Sirius Black."

  Maca sat by the window, flipped through the belated Daily Prophet, and nodded thoughtfully.

   What he cares about is not the events that will happen next semester—that's not important to him. He just thought of a magic from Sirius Black that has always been a headache for him.

   "... Animagus."

   To be honest, Maca has always been studying the principles of Animagus. But even though he had already studied it thoroughly, he had to put this matter aside because his transformation technique hadn't met the requirements.

  According to the information at hand, Animagus’ transformation exercises cannot be precisely controlled, so not only can the results be unpredictable, but it is also easier to get confused because of insufficient transformation skills.

   This is undoubtedly quite dangerous.

   There are many wizards who compare the practice process of Animagus with Apparition, this is entirely because of the danger involved.

   Maca, who has studied both types of magic in depth, doesn't think so.

   Regardless of whether the coordinates of the apparition shift are accurate or not, at least a strong enough will can avoid the occurrence of the split event.

   The practice of Animagus is completely different. The danger lies in the uncontrollability of the practice process.

   For Maca, who always puts caution first, if the dangerous enough magic is uncontrollable, it means failure-this is something he absolutely cannot tolerate.

   Whether it is the past or the present, he has never changed at this point.

  After Maca's long-term hard study, his level of polymorphism has actually reached the standard, but it is still far from the standard he expected in his heart.

   In his opinion, the probability of failure still exists.

   "No wonder all the materials about Animagus are marked with the importance of'courage'..." He shook his head and said, "It's all because the standards are too high. If you want to start practicing earlier, then You can only rely on luck."

   He threw the newspaper in his hand on the table and took a sip of black tea.

   "It’s getting cold."

  Maca was muttering, but he heard a few knocks on the door. Don't ask, it must be Wei Li who came to see him again to see the seedlings of Raphaela Dragon Kiss.

   During this nearly a month, Wei Li seemed to have nothing to do as a whole, and would come to him from time to time. The more times he got used to it.

   When he and Wei Li, as usual, walked to the top of the tower, leisurely looking at the seedlings, looking at the scenery, and thinking about things. He discovered that the summer vacation had actually come to an end.

   "The growth cycle of the Raphaela Dragon Kiss is very long. We can't wait for it to produce buds." Maca said as he watched the seedlings about 5 inches just emerging from the soil.

  Keverley shook her head immediately.

   "I can see."

   "...Summer vacation is almost over." Maca reminded.

  Vellie heard the words, but shook her head again.

   "Stop school for a year," Wei Li said flatly.

  Maca was taken aback, looked at Wei Li and asked: "Suspend school? Why?"

   However, Wei Li stopped talking, just staring at the seedlings in the huge flowerpot on the ground, in a daze.

   Since she didn't want to say, Maca wasn't the kind of person who chased him, he quickly left the matter behind.

   To put it bluntly, if it weren’t for the huge collection of books at Hogwarts and the Royna’s secret room, Maca would want to suspend school!

   Hogwarts is not a good place. Especially in the next few years, year after year has become more chaotic, which is not conducive to the study and research of all kinds of magic.

   "But it's a good place to practice combat..." Maca muttered to herself, lying on the railing, looking into the distance.

   Soon, as the school start date approached every day, Maca finally decided to leave here.

  Before he left, he gave Wei Li the updated herbal medicine note as a gift for this farewell. It can be seen that although Wei Li still has no expression, her actions when she took the memo show her love for this gift.

  Mr. Blois standing behind Willie, that is, when Willie's father saw his daughter, his eyes softened a lot. Perhaps for him, Wei Li's happy appearance was the scene he most wanted to see, even if it was just an extremely subtle revelation.

  ……

   When Maca arrived in London, England, it was not a few days before school started.

  He went to Knockoff Alley first and ordered a lot of potion materials.

   And when he was carrying a suitcase and was about to go to the Lihen Bookstore to buy a new third-grade textbook, he ran into Harry at the door of the Quidditch boutique.

  Maca reached out and patted Harry on the shoulder.

   "Oh-Maca!" Harry was startled, he turned around, the look of surprise on his face had not faded, "Why are you here?"

   "School is about to start, and this is Diagon Alley-why do you think I am here?" Maca said calmly.

   "Oh! Yes, you are here to buy a book." Harry said suddenly.

   "What about you?" Maca asked.

   "I'm going! Actually, I'm now living in the Broken Cauldron Bar--"

   Harry roughly talked about the things he encountered during the summer vacation, including the first time he looked forward to his birthday so much, and also including his wicked aunt who inadvertently inflated him.

   "By the way, thank you for your birthday present, Maca." Harry said, "We are all sorry for what happened last semester. We shouldn't doubt you... Professor Dumbledore also told me that I should trust you. ..."

   Maca lightly shook his head and said: "It's okay, you guys suspect that this is normal... Of course, don't ask me what happened to me, it's not so easy to tell."

   "Oh-okay," Harry shrugged, "Maca, when is your birthday?"

   This time I changed Maca and shrugged--he didn't know how to tell others?

   "Perhaps in winter?" He replied.

   While chatting casually, the two went to Lihen Bookstore together.

   When they came to the door of the bookstore, Harry looked at the bookstore’s window and was immediately taken aback.

  In the window of bookstores in the past, usually displayed spell books with golden reliefs as big as floor tiles. But now, these kinds of books are gone, replaced by a large iron cage, which contains about a hundred "Monsters' Books of Monsters."

   These books are locked together, furiously fighting, biting and fighting militantly, broken pages flying everywhere.

   "Fortunately, Hagrid gave it to me as a birthday present this year..." Harry couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

   Now he finally understands why Hagrid said in his letter that he might need this book.

   "This kind of book is not suitable for use as a textbook. If you don't pay attention, you will lose a few pages." The books in the Maca cage that bite each other are indifferent.

   The two walked into the bookstore, and the manager hurriedly greeted them.

  "Hogwarts?" He asked with a gloomy look, "Are you here to buy a new book?"

   "Yes," Harry said, "I need—"

   "Please get out of the way," the manager said impatiently, pushing Harry aside. He put on a pair of very thick gloves, picked up a very thick, knotted walking stick, and walked towards the iron cage containing the "Monster Book of Monsters".

   "No, I can do it myself--"

  Maca said, opened the door of the cage directly, and put his hand in decisively.

   "Oh! Be careful!" the manager shouted.

  Maca's movements caused him to close his mouth immediately.

   I saw Maca flipped his wrists extremely flexibly, avoiding a book that was biting at him, and then flipped his wrists to hold the book firmly in his hand.

   His index finger lightly scratched the spine of the book, and the fierce book immediately trembling and quieted down.

   "As long as you scratch the spine of the book, they will be quiet for a while. I suggest you tie them up with a belt." Maca said to the bookstore manager.

   "What a great idea," the depression on the manager's face was swept away, and he thanked him, "Thank you so much, I have been bitten five times this morning!"

   At this moment, there was a loud tearing sound from the cage—the two "Book of Monsters" grabbed the third one, and then they ripped it apart.

   "Oh-stop! Stop!" the manager shouted, sticking the cane in between the iron bars, and opened the books~IndoMTL.com~ I think I'd better get them done as soon as possible! These two days they have been so violent! We have gone through two hundred "Invisible Books of Invisibility", and I thought there was nothing worse than them-those books are so expensive, and we will never have... well, sir, you want one too ? "

   "I already have this book." Harry said hurriedly.

   "Thank God—" the manager said, "Do you want any other books?"

   Ten minutes later, the two walked out of the bookstore. Behind them, the manager's helpless cry was heard. He probably started dealing with those disobedient monster books.

   "Harry, I'm about to leave first, and there is another place to go." Maca suddenly said, "See you at school."

   "Oh-okay! See you at the beginning of school." Harry nodded.

   Before school starts, Maca intends to sit at Lovegood’s house and have a few meals on the way. When school starts, it is also a good choice to go to school with Luna.

   At least, the time with Luna has always been easy.

   Lovegood's house is naturally the same, and Luna hardly changes.

   No, she seems to have grown taller.

  Maca has grown a lot taller, and all the clothes on her body have been replaced with new ones. Because of this, he noticed Luna's changes.

   To be honest, he spent a lot of time with Luna last semester, maybe it was because she kept dangling in front of her eyes! If you don't pay attention to it, it's really not easy to detect.

  "How are you doing this summer vacation?"

  Maca stood in front of the fireplace, looking at Luna who turned around and asked.

   "Maybe..." Luna blinked, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.
