Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

The astronomical tower of Hogwarts Castle has always been a very popular place.

Especially at the top of the tower, as the highest location in the castle, the view is very wide. Looking down the tower, most of the vestibule is full of sight; while looking up, the sky seems to be within reach.

Therefore, even if you are not in the astronomy class, those who like quiet young wizards will often come here. Sometimes, as long as you look up at the sky, whether it is blue sky and white clouds or the stars, you can calm down.

Even the past Dumbledore will have a situation where you want to come here to distract yourself—especially when it comes to certain major decisions that need to be made.

In fact, Albus Dumbledore’s brilliant life in this world is also here.

Today, perhaps at about the same time, the top round table of the Astronomical Tower has ushered in two little guys who seem to be detached.

“Ens, now you should always say it?”

Right now, the sunset has just sunk into the foothills, and the sky in the west is still faintly red. The night that can be seen from the east has already taken up most of the sky, so it seems that the arrival of the night is unstoppable.

At this moment, Alexander looked at the wall outside the high platform and looked absently at the school vestibule below.

It is clear from here that the temporary market has been removed, and Hagrid and Professor Sprout are busy working to restore the turf, but it seems to be almost complete.

But Alexander didn’t care about these things. After all, he didn’t seem to enjoy the grand event. As for who is this?

Alexander didn’t look back because he knew that the guy who had wasted him for a whole weekend was standing behind him now!

“……Say what?”

At this moment, Ens stopped in the middle of the round table. He just looked up at the neck and stared at the gradually appearing stars on the wall of the sky, intentionally or unconsciously.

He is not interested in astronomy at all, but if you just appreciate the deep starry sky above your head, it is another one.

“What do you think you should say?” Alexander was very dissatisfied with Ens’s answer. “You can promise to give me an explanation afterwards!”

However, Enns, who is looking up, is somewhat impatient with curl one’s lip.

“That’s just your self-speaking,” he said eloquently. “I don’t remember having promised you half a sentence!”

Hearing Ens, he couldn’t help but come back, and a pair of thick eyebrows and big eyes also slammed into the former.

“Hey! Enns Taun!” he was annoyed. “Is your credibility and self-esteem so worthless?”

With regard to Alexander’s harsh condemnation, Ens couldn’t help but wave his hand.

“It’s OK, you want to know I will tell you–” he can’t help but say, “What’s the credibility and self-esteem?” I just think that it’s too much trouble to say that’s all!”

Immediately, Enston took a moment and spread his hands and asked, “So, what do you want to know?”

“Of course it’s all!” Alexander was unceremonious, “From why you suddenly stopped the practice of the curse without a word!”

“Will you start from there?” Ens hearing this, couldn’t help but take a breath of air. “You kid is crazy!”

Having said that, in fact, if you want to explain things, you really have to start from the original place. So, since the Hufflepuff Chamber of Secrets was discovered by accident, Ens was reluctant to explain to Alexander.

Nowadays, there is nothing wrong with these things, because from the beginning to the end of the series of things, now it will be on the Marx side.

At least, Ens did think so.

But even if he had saved as much as possible from the place he could omit, until he finally said that he was sent back by Marx, he was still greatly sighed in relief.

“This is the ‘all’ you want to know,” Enns rolled his eyes. “How, after hearing it, is it useful?”

Alexander did not think that this small period of time, Ens actually experienced so many messy things. After he had pondered it, he shook his head slightly.

“I don’t know if I use it, but…” He looked at Ens, very straightforward. “You will be severely punished. I think it is certain.”

“Not so,” Ens snorted, and his face was gradually faintly stunned. “Maybe you will be directly ordered to drop out…”

“That should… don’t you?” Alexander shook his head immediately, but his tone was full of uncertainty.

This time, Enns didn’t talk anymore. He just felt a little bit of coolness from the lower back – it was the gift he had pulled from the huge black stone tablet and was given to him by Salazar Slytherin across the millennium.

Of course, that may also be a trouble.

“In any case, I can come back this time thanks to the help of Professor McLorne. I am satisfied when I can live.” Ens faintly said, “As far as dropping out of school, or what other punishments, I recognize it.”

“Ugh–“

Alexander sighed a little weakly.

He thought that after this series of riots, he might find a good opportunity to reconcile with Enns. At least this friend of Ens, he has never intended to give up from beginning to end.

But now, Ens is temporarily not thinking about the fact that these friends are not friends.

Probably the time before Ens telling the story was a bit long. Until then, Alexander found that the sky was completely dark.

“It’s not too early, let’s go back first!” he greeted casually. “Don’t Professor McGonagall say it? Go back to the common room earlier today…”

“I know.”

Enns certainly knows, because this book was decided according to Marx’s letter, and at that time, was he listening to the headmaster office?

However, when the two were about to return to the stairs, a shadow that was not so eye-catching passed silently in the corner of the vestibule downstairs, and Alexander, who was closer to the outer edge of the platform, inadvertently caught sight.

“and many more–“

He quickly stopped and turned his footsteps and stretched his neck to look at the vestibule under the night.

“Just like there is something…”

In fact, Alexander can’t guarantee whether he is blind or not. After all, the moon tonight is often hidden behind the clouds, and the thin moonlight is not enough to dispel the darkness of the night.

“What have you seen?”

Just after experiencing a lot of dangerous Enns, today’s nerves have been tight, and even if it seems to catch up with these things, he can’t let himself produce a little bit of slack.

As he said, he also squatted down the wall, but did not immediately find out what was wrong.

“Over there -” Alexander reached out and pointed to the edge of Forbidden Forest. “I just saw a small silhouette there, it seems to have gotten into the woods.”

After Ens heard it, he did not speak, but instead stared at the approximate position pointed out by Alexander. The two are separated by a wall and are carefully watching whether there will be any changes in the other side.

However, after a while, except for the swaying of the Forbidden Forest canopy by the night wind, the two of them did not see any special movements again.

“…Is it wrong?”

“Oh… maybe?”

Left and the right, etc., who did not wait for any signs, could not help but ask. And Alexander’s unreasonable answer, he could not help but let him take a heavy shot of his forehead.

“Look back and see again -“

He didn’t complain, but he saw that a silhouette that couldn’t be found by two people finally appeared, but the silhouette was from the castle side, not the Forbidden Forest.

“Who is that?”

Ens looked down at the bottom, but since the other party seemed to be wearing a cloak, from their point of view, nothing could be seen.

After a short while, the two found that the man seemed to be heading towards the hunting lodge in Hagrid.

“what?”

Just as Enns managed to make a point, Alexander suddenly lightly exclaimed, and he seemed to have found some clues first.

“What happened?” Ens asked casually.

“It seems to be the champion of the Alchemy Competition decided today,” Alexander said. “I know her crutches with gimmicks!”

“champion?”

Alexander, who stayed at the stadium at the time, had finished watching the game, so he was very impressed with the old witch, and Ens, who had hardly seen the event, was certainly not clear.

“One of the two leaders of the African delegation is said to have a lot of fame in the magic circle of Africa…” Alexander said, and hesitantly said, “But because the actual award ceremony was arranged in the proceedings hall of the International Wizard Federation. The delegations seem to have gone back in the evening?”

“Do you see them leaving with your own eyes?” Ens immediately asked.

“…this is not.” After listening to Alexander, he had to shake his head. “Well, she might want to stay in Hogwarts for a visit? Or, is there an acquaintance in the school?”

“Who knows?”

Ens thought for a moment, although he did not think that there was anything suspicious, but he felt that there was something wrong with him.

“Forget it, maybe I think more…”

Even if he is himself, he understands that today’s encounter may have made him too nervous. Just thinking about Marx’s words that brought the silver eagle back, he couldn’t convince himself that he believed that everything he saw at the moment was a coincidence.

After all, Marx had told him in advance to “ensure no one outside the castle.”

“No,” Ens squinted. “I still feel a little suspicious…”
