Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Chapter 23 Timid Malfoy

The provisional selection test ended with an unsurprising ending, and Maca successfully became one of the youngest players in the history of Hufflepuff, and even Hogwarts.

And judging from his demonstrated strength, this title has to be added with the word strongest to be more accurate.

As Maca expected, his study time was greatly shortened because of this. But the training plan is very substantial. While Maca became more familiar with the coordination of various formations, Darren designed new actual combat tactics. This is Hufflepuff's strongest over the years, so they also have the idea of ​​competing for the Quidditch Cup!

And this new tactic is the latest winning strategy arranged around the basic score. It can be said that the addition of Maca has given everyone a desire for the Quidditch Cup, which is rarely seen in the low-key little badgers.

Because of this, the whole team members unanimously stated that they would never let the news about Maca join the team. In the next duel with Slytherin House, Maca will appear as a surprise soldier, and he must beat those little snakes who always like to do small tricks!

Therefore, Maca seemed particularly busy in the following days. Either in the library or on the Quidditch pitch, and whenever Maca started practicing, there were always a couple of senior Hufflepuffs milling around the pitch. It seems that this surprise soldier plan was really carried out quite thoroughly by these hardworking, focused and low-key little badgers.

Before you know it, Christmas is coming.

On a particularly cold morning, everyone found that Hogwarts had been covered with a thick layer of snow. The beautiful white scenery outside the window is telling everyone that the first snow at Hogwarts this year has been sent to the ground unconsciously in everyone's sleep.

There was a hard layer of ice on the lake behind the castle, much to the delight of the students. Those sledges stacked in the utility room are finally ready to use, so you won't have to ride in that wobbly boat during the Christmas break!

The Weasley twins were recently punished for bewitching several snowballs, causing them to chase Quirrell around and, by accident, land on the back of his hooded head .

At that time, Maca happened to pass by a window upstairs, and he was delighted to see that scene, Voldemort is so unlucky!

A few owls delivered mail on a snowy night. They went through all kinds of hardships, and even lost a lot of their feathers. They had to rest under Hagrid's care for a while before they could resume their work.

Maca's owl Mafa seems to be very new to the snow, which may be because in his hometown - Sumatra Island, he will never be able to see this kind of icy and snowy scenery!

Maca watched it hovering in the sky, sometimes flapping its wings to climb to a higher place, and sometimes swooping and passing by at a low altitude. From a distance, no one would think that it was just an owl.

Recently, Maca has been wandering around the restricted area at night, and his understanding of black magic has gradually deepened. But he still has no plans to study the most dangerous banned books. He thinks that the time has not come yet, and there is no need to ask for trouble.

So, while accumulating little by little experience in preparing potions, he began to compete with Transfiguration. To be precise, this is a long and never-ending road of death-knocking with various biological and non-biological materials.

Since there is no shortcut, I have to learn from Hermione. At least, the research and memory of various materials can also help the progress of potions to a certain extent.

After all, Christmas is a holiday.

Last week, Professor Sprout came to register the list of students staying in school for the holidays. Maca hesitated for a while, but still signed it. He planned to visit Luna during the holidays. He had been busy since the beginning of school, and it would be a good choice to go out and relax at Christmas.

and,

He found that ever since he practiced the Patronus Charm, he had missed Luna a little bit. He felt that he should have a sister-like affection for Luna!

It's impossible to say that he is actually a lolicon?

No, no, no, it's absolutely impossible. Maca shook her head, amused by her own thoughts.

Right now, Maca was on his way to the Potions classroom, and he wanted to ask Snape a few questions.

But when he quickly turned the corner of the corridor, he found a huge Hagrid—he was hugging a fir tree that was bigger than him.

The originally spacious corridor was completely blocked by him, making it impossible to pass through.

Hey, Hagrid, do you need help? From the gap between the branches, a head came from the opposite side, and it seemed to be Ron.

No, I can do it, thank you, Ron.——it was Ron.

Can you get out of the way, out of the way? Maca suddenly heard Malfoy's cold, drawling voice from behind the cedar tree.

Do you want to earn some pocket money, Weasley? I was thinking, you probably want to guard the hunting grounds after graduating from Hogwarts, right? Hagrid's hut is different from your original home. Must look like a palace!

Ron's head jerked back from between the branches immediately, obviously irritated by Malfoy's sarcasm.

Weasley! Maca heard Snape's voice.

Someone messed with him first, Professor Snape, said Hagrid, poking out his big, shaggy head from behind a tree. Malfoy just insulted his family.

No matter what, beating someone with your hands is against Hogwarts school rules, Hagrid. Snape said in a smooth tone. Five points off. Weasley, you should be glad I didn't punish you for wiping your trophy. Now, let's go, you all.

When Malfoy on the side heard the surname McLean, he immediately gritted his teeth. It seemed that he hated Maca very much.

He saw Maca as he led Crabbe and Goyle in a deliberately rude squeeze past the tree, knocking the needles off the ground, and walking forward with a look of exasperation on his face.

Malfoy immediately wiped his anger from his face, and walked across the corridor from the other side of the corridor as if he didn't see it. But his behavior of deliberately staying away from Maca exposed the timidity in his heart.

It seems that the effect of punishment is still there.

Maca glanced back, but happened to meet Malfoy's hateful eyes. He saw Maca looking over, and immediately turned his head back.

...But maybe it's not enough. Maca smiled before walking forward.

Professor Snape, excuse me, Maca called to Snape who was walking towards the restaurant, I wonder if you have time to help me answer a few questions about potions.

Snape turned around, still gave Maca a cold look, and then raised his chin to signal that he wanted to ask quickly.

Oh, it's like this—

At the stall where Maca asked, Ron couldn't help but whispered to Harry: I really admire Maca, who can ask questions normally under Snape's freezing eyes...

In my opinion, Snape's best attitude is when Maca asks him a question. Harry took a moment to glance at Snape's expression, and then continued, It doesn't seem to be much better .”

I can't even figure out Maca's progress in Potions class, Hermione said with regret, Although I often go to him to discuss some topics, I don't know anything about what he wrote in his notebook recently. can't read.

In fact, as far as the recent situation is concerned, although Maca said that he was asking Snape a question, it basically turned into a discussion between the two of them on a certain potion theory in the end. While Maca gained a lot, Snape actually got some more novel inspirations from the topic.

Of course, the potions master's knowledge is no joke. Most of the time, the discussions ended with Snape correcting Maca.

But what I have to mention is that in Snape's deep heart, there seems to be a shadow of Maca as a student. Because in many discussions, he was keenly aware that Maca has a magic research philosophy that is almost the same as his - ignoring all standards of good and evil in order to achieve the goal.

In their minds, there is no substantial difference between black magic and white magic, and both can be used. The difference is only in the moral code of the user, nothing more.

Perhaps, even Maca himself didn't realize this, but Snape, who had once been trapped in an even more terrifying darkness, noticed it.

After solving the doubts encountered in the research, Maca said goodbye to Snape, and walked towards the Harry trio who were waiting for him. Behind him, Snape stared blankly at his back for a while, then suddenly turned around and walked towards the restaurant.

Perhaps only Dumbledore really understood what Snape was thinking.

They were chatting with Hagrid when Maca walked up to Hermione.

Oh! You've finally finished your question, come with me to the dining room to have a look! It's so wonderful! Hagrid laughed happily, and the fir tree in his arms was trembling with his laughter , and more needles fell.

Let me help you, Hagrid, you're almost shaking off all the needles on it! Maca drew out his wand and cast a levitation spell, making the fir tree float above everyone's heads, and then floated forward with him.

Oh - no need actually, I mean, thanks, said Hagrid sheepishly.

So Harry, Ron and Hermione followed Hagrid and his fir tree into the Great Hall with Maca. Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick were both there, busy arranging the Christmas decorations.

Aha! What a nice Levitating Charm, Mr. McLean, said Professor Flitwick cheerfully. Leave it there—in the corner, will you? It's the last one.
