Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Marx, who came out of Hog’s Head, is still thinking about whether he should go to The Burrow or Lovegood. But obviously, he didn’t have to worry about it because his owl Marf sent him a note.

This is a note signed by Minerva McGonagall, the content is simple – Mr. Newt Scamander has just arrived at Hogwarts and wants to meet him right away.

Judging from the time when Marx sent the letter, Mr. Scamander did not seem to go directly to Hogwarts after receiving the letter.

“Okay!” He nodded slightly. “I hope the wording of my letter is really euphemistic…”

For the famous magical biologist, Newt Scamander, Marx doesn’t know much about it. He only knows that this old gentleman is a full-time workaholic and very passionate about magical creatures.

Just in the magic circle, many people seem to think that this accomplished old Scholar is not so flattering.

Because he has been a solitary since he was young, he doesn’t like to deal with people but loves to take care of his magical creatures. As the age grows older, although it is better than the past, it seems that it is still not very good at communication.

Regardless of his academic ability, is it probably a lonely Little Old Man?

As Marx thought, he set foot on the magic book and flew in the direction of Hogwarts Castle. It was not far from the school, and soon he entered the school from the main entrance.

This Christmas Eve is still in Hogwarts, more professors, who seem to enjoy the Christmas Eve dinner in the auditorium. As for the few students who didn’t go home, most of them went to Hogsmeade Village after dinner.

When Marx pushed open the brightly lit hall door, the people inside looked at him.

He could see that a strange old wizard was dressed in casual clothes and sat next to Professor McGonagall. There are not many dinners tonight, and eating on a long table will only make people feel empty, so they have a big round table to eat.

“Are you Mr. Scamander?” Marx hurried forward and apologized. “I have not been able to personally go to your home to inform you, please forgive me…”

The old gentleman sitting next to Professor McGonagall is a bit thin and doesn’t look too tall. The white hair is slightly twisted, it seems to be some messy. It’s just that the eyes are not turbid because of their age, and they are still full of attachments like young people.

Although he is almost a hundred years old, he can look at the spirit of the look, how can there be a sense of senile?

And not far from him, an old lady sat there. Her look may seem a little mournful, and a middle-aged man is comforting her softly.

“You are McLorne?” Seeing Marx, he apologized. Scamander became standing up and patted his arm. “That’s not your fault, the situation of Britain magic circle is clear.” I can understand.”

“Thank you,” Marx said with regret. “Just, I didn’t have time to save your loved ones.”

Scamander is hearing this, but it is gently shaking his head.

“Before coming to Hogwarts, I have been to the United States. To be honest, the situation is more serious than I thought. The US Magic Congress sent Auror to clean up the manor and found many suspicious people…” he said And frowning, “I can see, who those are…”

“It’s Obscurus.” Marx didn’t cover anything about it, because he remembered that Scamander knew a lot about the Obscurus.

“Yeah! Obscurus…” Scamander repeated the vocabulary. “And the marks on their chests are really amazing… Did Grindelwald appear again? Not long after Dumbledore died? ”

“Grindelwald? In the United States?” Professor McGonagall was shocked.

“The first generation of the Dark Lord is still unclear where it is, but the attacks in the United States do have a ‘credit’ in it.” Marx nodded. “But that should not be his main.” action.”

“McLorne, you know?” Professor McGonagall asked busy.

“Well,” Marx nodded again. “I have seen him so many times, but every time I don’t have direct face-to-face contact – he is very careful. And… there seems to be any other purpose…”

“This is really bad news.” Mr. Scamander frowns, revealing a look of contemplation.

“Father, let’s not say those! Don’t think about Aunt Quinn’s mood!” At this moment, the middle-aged man who was with the old lady suddenly shouted and shouted.

“Oh, sorry -” Mr. Scamander’s clear comprehension suddenly went to the old lady, “Quinnie, you…”

“Nothing, I’m fine.” The old lady’s wrinkles were all tight, “Oh… my poor little Zoe…”

When the old lady spoke, Marx thought of something.

“Ms.?” He hesitated. “Oh no, I mean, old man… Have we seen it at Jackson Square?”

“You are…” The old lady thought for a moment. It seemed that her memory didn’t seem so clear. After a little while she only slightly nodded, “Oh, the child that night?”

In fact, when Marx met her at night, it was good that elderly could see his appearance.

“I’m really sorry, old man…” Marx owed a little to her, “About Zoe, I used a replay spell on the wand who took her life, and it has been with Zoe’s willpower. There was a conversation. Although it was only Zoe simulated by the curse, she was really brave. In the face of her own death, there was no retreat…”

“…I wanted to convey some last words for her, but she didn’t open up for anything. At the last moment, she chose to try to reveal some truth to me instead of dying for her own death. “”

Marx paused, repeated again: “She is a brave witch.”

“Oh… Xiao Zoe…” The old lady closed her eyes as she listened, as if she saw the scene in her mind, and there was a little tear in the wrinkles around her eyes.

“She…what did she tell you about the truth?” Scamander said with a slight sorrow. “I think we must also know, because it is the child’s last words, isn’t it?”

Marx shook his head with a pity.

“She couldn’t say it all,” Marx sighed. “In the moment when the truth is about to blurt out, Grindelwald’s willpower occupies the dark wizard’s body, dispelling the magic image of the replay spell. Then he smashed the body of the dark wizard, even with the wand.”

“…this is really too terrifying.”

McGonagall and other professors present are somewhat trembling in fear, after all, it is Grindelwald. The series of horror acts that were all over the magic circle of Europe were deeply imprinted on the hearts of the old wizards.

As modern wizards fear Voldemort, whose generation of old wizards, who did not listen to Grindelwald’s fierce name?

“No wonder, it turned out to be like this…” Scamander said seriously. “I know some people from the Magic Congress of the United States. Before I went there to claim Xiao Zoe… oh… I heard someone discussing it at the time. In the case of manor, it is said that there is a stone chamber in the basement that has been soaked in blood…”

“Yes!” Marx nodded said. “At the time I received a warning from Hogwarts, otherwise I might still stay there and hand over to Auror in the United States.”

Of course he has to say this, although he would not stay in the manor anyway. In such a situation, dealing with Auror will definitely take time, and he will not waste his energy on things that are meaningless to him.

“Your judgment is correct. Like this situation, Hogwarts can’t have an accident.” Mr. Scamander said, and looked around the auditorium. Some of them missed the earth. “This school is for the entire Britain magic circle… …and even the meaning of the magic circle throughout Europe is very important. Especially after the departure of Teacher, the safety here may even be linked to the safety of the magic circle.”

He was also a student of Hogwarts, and like Marx, he was also a Hufflepuff. When he was at school, Dumbledore was only the Transfiguration Professor of Hogwarts.

Coincidentally, he and Marx have one thing in common, that is, they have not successfully graduated from Hogwarts. For their young and old, Hogwarts is still their most unforgettable alma mater.

There are many more Hogwarts students like Marx and Scamander. It can be said that the wizard that this school has cultivated is truly in all parts of Europe.

If one day, the school fell for some reason, the people and things involved in it were unimaginable.

“Child, you have done too much for Hogwarts,” Scamander turned back and reached out and pressed Marx’s shoulder. “I am here not only for the sake of Xiao Zoe. Since Xiao Zui can also With the future efforts of magic circle, I will not fall behind Newt Scamander.”

“Father, you are all old–” The middle-aged man, the son of Mr. Scamander, discouraged.

“So you come?” Scamander looked at him and asked.

“I–“

“You can’t.” Mr. Scamander interrupted with the slightest hesitation. “You still have a wife and my grandson who has not yet grown up. What you have to do is take care of them – but I can.”

He paused and took his curse from his arms and watched it sigh: “This wand is for me to be retained by Professor Dumbledore. If there is no Professor Dumbledore, when I left Hogwarts, I could not keep it. Wand. Without it, where will there be me now? Where will you be there?”

In the tense situation at the time, the European continent also implemented the issuance system for the wand license. However, to put it this way, for this measure, the implementation of the Britain Ministry of Magic is not as strong as that of the US Magic Congress.

Of course, there is no license in hand, and it is certain that it will not change.

“…After Mr. McLorne describes the situation at the time, you will go to rest! You will take your Aunt Quinn home tomorrow, and then find a way to contact your cousin and their husband and wife.” Scamander The gentleman screamed and said, “I will stay here, and I will not go anywhere.”
