Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

"What's wrong, Marx?"

When the teenager was staring at the black-skinned diary in Ginny cauldron, the young girl beside him pulled his hand and asked him without hesitation.

"Nothing." Marx shook his head slightly, his tone still seemed gentle and peaceful, but his eyes were unusually cold.

"This time, going out, it has changed a lot."

"Yes. Luna?" Marx turned his head and smiled. "Maybe! But I think it's good too."

Luna looked at him with a squint, her eyes slightly awkward, and she couldn't see what she was thinking.

After a while, she said: "Yes, it's good..."

Obviously, Marx caught up with the start of school. Although no one knows where he was taken by Rowena and what he did, at least he returned safely.

However, there seems to be some inexplicable changes in him.

"Go, go home first," Marx said.

……

On the day of school, Marx was with Luna all the time, almost never leaving. Even at the new student welcome dinner, Marx sat directly on Ravenclaw's long table.

Surprisingly, the students at Ravenclaw House have almost no objections. This is absolutely rare in the Kitty Hawks who have a very high standard of recognition for "wisdom and erudition."

This may be because many students have already seen the notice posted on the Hogwarts bulletin board.

The content of the notice is very simple, just to send a good news to all the teachers and students in the school - Marx invented the "Xianyin potion" has passed the test and assessment of the International Wizard Federation, obtained the spotion at Marx At the same time, the official certification is equivalent to indirectly recognizing his "Potioneer" status.

Just as Snape said in class, potion is indeed able to "enhance reputation and brew glory." This is the most significant testimony to Marx, who has just been promoted to Second Year this year.

In the separate house ceremony, Luna was naturally assigned to Ravenclaw. Marx smiled and gave her a blessing, and repeatedly took care of what she needed to pay attention to in her future study life.

The dinner was very lively and as warm as ever, just like a big family that brought warmth to the young wizards.

Dumbledore in the middle of the guest table seemed to inadvertently sweep Marx, but soon he heard Professor Flitwick laugh.

After a while, Professor McGonagall came in from the side door, and she walked over to Dumbledore and said something a little.

Marx looked over the Gryffindor, and Harry and Ron didn't really be on the long table. Other young lions are whispering each other and talking.

Among them, Hermione is obviously a fidgety look. When Marx looked at it, she just turned around and looked at Marx.

"He...what is it?" Hermione stared at Marx, who had moved her sight elsewhere, but her heart was filled with doubts.

Hermione's heart has always been very sensitive, and she always notices details that others won't notice. For example, Marx at this time does not seem to have changed too much, but the indifferent eyes made Hermione feel uncomfortable.

“Is it true that Voldemort’s influence on him is really so great? Or is it that Marx actually suffered when he saved me?”

Reminiscent of the events of the last semester and the expression of Marx at the time, Hermione's guess naturally wanted to be biased.

"...and, who is that female child?"

She looked at Luna, which was carefully taken care of by Marx. I don't know why it was a bit unhappy.

The next morning, Marx, who was eating breakfast, was clashed by a Howler over the Gryffindor. That was sent to Ron by Mrs. Weasley.

"...had stolen the car! I dared to drive to Hogwarts, and even a few muggles saw it along the way! If they fired you, I wouldn’t be surprised at all. See how I pack you when you arrive! You I didn’t even think about it at all. My father and I found out what it was like when the car was gone..."

The huge sound broke out from the red howler, flooding the entire hall, a hundred times louder than usual.

The sound of the plate and the spoon on the table shook loudly, and the echoes of the four stone walls were deafening. The people in the auditorium turned around to see who received the howler, and Ron shrank in the chair, only to see a red forehead.

Marx frowned, but there is no action.

If he used to, he might go over and help Ron solve the howler - it's not difficult for him.

But now, he is sitting on the side of the dinning table, and the lines are still moving.

The first lesson is Herbology, and Hufflepuff is still attending this class with the Gryffindors. When Marx walked to the greenhouse, he saw the Whomping Willow from afar—it was tied up with a bandage to prevent some branches from breaking completely.

This is a masterpiece by Harry and Ron, who drove the magic flying car at the beginning of the school and smashed it all the way.

Although they just couldn't go to the Hogwarts train station - where the wall entrance seemed to be sealed. Even so, they still can't hide their rash.

At least, Sprout spent a morning to heal the poor Whomping Willow, and even hurriedly stuffed the bread for breakfast.

When Marx came to the greenhouse, he saw other students standing outside and waiting for Professor Sprout.

After a while, Harry, Ron, and Hermione also came. When they arrived, they saw Professor Sprout striding from the lawn.

There are a lot of bandages on her arm that don't look too good. Moreover, she has always been kind and kind, and her face has obviously brought a bit of anger.

And next to Professor Sprout, is following Gilderoy Lockhart.

The two men are a stark contrast: Professor Sprout has a chunky figure, a patchy hat on the ethereal hair, and a lot of dirt on the clothes; but Gilderoy Lockhart goes from scratch The feet are spotless, the elegant green-green robes, and the glittering blond hair is wearing a green-green rimmed hat.

“Oh, how are you!” Lockhart screamed at the students in the spring. “You just gave Professor Sprout a demonstration of how to treat Whomping Willow! But I don’t want you to think that I am better than Her in Herbology! I’m just I happened to have seen some of these strange plants during my trip..."

"Today in the third greenhouse." Professor Sprout was unhappy and grabbed the topic.

Marx is already a frequent visitor to the third greenhouse – he has been here many times, and even has a small area of ​​his own.

Here, the smell of moist soil and fertilizer is familiar, and it is also rich in floral notes. Those flowers are as big as an umbrella, hanging from the ceiling and looking good.

Marx was about to go inside, but he saw Gilderoy Lockhart yelling at him.

"Oh! Marx, you are Marx-" Lockhart grabbed his shoulder and shouted loudly, "Professor Sprout, and this, Marx! Marx McLorne! I also want to talk to him, I think you must not Would you mind, just two minutes..."

Marx looked at Harry, who was standing on the other side and was also pulled by Lockhart, and Harry showed him a sly smile.

Lockhart didn't seem to be really going to agree with Professor Sprout. He said "too good" and shut the door to the greenhouse.

"Oh! The youngest Potioneer! I heard that when you invented 'Xianyin potion', it was still First Year! Is this true? It's amazing..." Lockhart said happily, one hand pressed Marx The shoulders, one hand waving up and down the topic, looked quite excited.

"...I also heard that you were very low-key when you first entered school, quite low-key! Just like when I was a child - in any case, gold always shines, just like me. Although you can't match it now. I have won the Witch Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award five times in a row, but one day you will reach my level -"

"Sorry, Professor Lockhart." Marx interrupted his words and calmly said, "If there is nothing else, I think I should go back to class."

After all, he pushed the door into the greenhouse and took the door with him, leaving Lockhart standing there and blinking.

"...well, I think," he turned his head, and the stiffness on his face quickly swept away, as if he didn't seem to care, and turned his gaze to Harry's body. "Harry, I think I can. Understand you..."

In the third greenhouse, Professor Sprout stands behind a bench in the middle of the greenhouse. Twenty pairs of earmuffs of different colors were placed on the stool.

In front of everyone, there is a large pottery pot of each and everyone, and there is a plant planted in it. It looks like the grass is green and looks healthy.

Harry was back when the students were whispering. He walked to the center of the greenhouse with a sullen look and sat in the seat beside Ron and Hermione.

At this time, Professor Sprout knocked the flower pot with wand, loudly said: "We are going to change the pot for Mandrake today. Now, can anyone tell me what features Mandrake has?"

Hermione raised her hand subconsciously - she always did it. But this time, she raised her hand and looked at Marx again.

Marx just stared at Mandrake in front of him and didn't look up at all.

"Miss Granger." Professor Sprout also glanced at Marx, and he said.

“Mandrake, also known as Mandrake Root, is a strong efficacy restorer.” Hermione recited the knowledge points he had written in the pre-study almost literally, “used to put the deformed person or the curse. The person returned to its original state."

“Very good, add Gryffindor a lot.” Professor Sprout said, “Mandrake is an important part of most antidote. But it is also dangerous. Can anyone tell me why?”

Hermione glanced at Marx again.

In the last semester of Herbology, Marx always raised her hand to answer questions. To be honest, Hermione is always very happy about this. She thinks that Marx is the friend who knows her best in this school... But at the moment, the other party still has no reaction, which makes her feel very lost.
