Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 794: Let him come to me directly
"...Ms. McGonagall, I think I have to remind you that Charlotte Werther is a member of our Werther family. Now we are taking her back, and we hope you will call her out as soon as possible...or else, We have reason to believe that our younger generation has been detained and imprisoned by your Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!"
At the moment, standing at the gate of the school and talking to Professor McGonagall, it was actually the old housekeeper Maca met when he went to the Witt family mansion.
This old man is the same as it was then, his gray hair is neatly combed, and the wizard robe on his body is not stained, so he looks like a steady and majestic old wizard.
And just like his sonorous and powerful voice, he also showed an aggressive posture all the time for the action to come to Hogwarts this time.
For him, it seems that Charlotte is a junior in the family, he is about to make a decision today.
But from Professor McGonagall’s perspective, the Werther family’s behavior is quite unreasonable.
Although Maca didn't explain too much when Charlotte arrived, the time McGonagall and Charlotte have worked together is not too short. For things like "Why did Charlotte give up the advantage of the family and willingly run back to school to serve as an insignificant assistant to the professor", anyone with a bit of brains must be able to figure out why.
"Mr. Witt," McGonagall was not annoyed when he heard that the other party had accused Charlotte of the school's imprisonment. She just retorted calmly, "As the current principal of Hogwarts, I admit Charlotte ·Ms. Witt did indeed hold a post in our school..."
She told this fact seriously at first, but then she changed the conversation.
"But I'm sorry," McGonagall said indifferently. "Our school has never established any long-term employment relationship with Miss Witt. She just held the temporary position of'Professor Assistant' in our school. Today, I am on a rest day and Miss Witt did not come to work at the school."
"Huh, don't you say that you are not there! Why don't I believe it--"
Behind the old housekeeper, a younger member of the Werther family seemed to have a temper, and suddenly asked aloud.
But before he could continue, he saw the old butler glance at him sharply, causing him to close his stinky mouth immediately, listening to his spine standing straight.
In the Werther family, butlers have never belonged to servants, because every generation of butlers also has the "Werther" surname brought out from the womb.
The term "housekeeper" is not so much a family position as it is a very representative family position.
"I heard Ms. McGonagall say that, it means that my lady is not in the castle?" The old butler stared at McGonagall's eyes with a slightly gloomy expression, "Since this is the case, please tell me where is Miss. ? If we can find someone, we won't bother your school like this again."
The old man spoke in a high-sounding manner, and even faintly hinted at "both sides take a step back". This actually shows that they didn't come to make trouble on purpose today, but really wanted to take Charlotte home.
However, Professor McGonagall knew a little bit that the "Miss Witt" probably wouldn't want to go back to the family again.
"Unfortunately, although I also want to give you an answer, but I don't know the answer to this question." McGonagall said with a steady face, "Our school and Miss Witt are just a normal temporary employment relationship. As for Her private activities are not within the scope of our interference... I hope you can understand."
"No, I don't think I can'understand'."
The old man's words are still the same as before, and there is a feeling of uncompromising without gains. But for some reasons that the owner of the family had urged, he did not show excessive toughness.
"My lady works in your school, even if it is only temporary, your school should take the corresponding responsibility. Now she has neither returned home, but is not in your school... Then can I think that she Already missing?"
At this point, the old butler paused for a while, then said in a deep voice: "...If this is the case, I think I have to go to the Ministry of Magic and make a formal search request."
His meaning is very clear, that is, if Professor McGonagall doesn't give anything useful, he will let the Ministry of Magic intervene. At that time, the search of Hogwarts Castle will be imperative, and it is justified.
After all, Charlotte was originally a member of the Werther family. This is indeed a fact that cannot be changed.
Now that her family wants her to go back, it's one thing she doesn't want to, but if outsiders like Professor McGonagall try to stop her explicitly and secretly, it won't make sense.
In fact, McGonagall really didn't have a good way to deal with the words of the old Butler of the Witt family.
Just as Professor McGonagall pursed his mouth and didn't know how to speak, a figure walked from the direction of the castle, and it had already come to her in a moment.
"Butler Barnes...The wind has been really strong recently, so I accidentally brought you here?"
The only thing that can appear here at this time is Maca. However, even though he was standing among the 30 or so people on both sides, he seemed to be completely unable to feel the tension in the atmosphere, and his head was tilted and his face was frivolous.
"Maca McLean."
When the old butler saw him appear, although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, he was still a little upset. After Shen Xin sorted out his thoughts, he frowned and looked at Maca's place.
"I think that with your current identity, there is no need to pretend this inexplicable gesture, right? You and I can't know it better-you are not a descendant of the Diher family at all. , Isn't it?"
However, Maca's expression was not restrained by the old man's words. In his eyes, the contempt became more and more intense.
"Well, maybe that day, my performance in front of you was indeed a bit too ‘exaggerated’."
When Maca said that word, he also hooked his hands and put quotation marks. But in a blink of an eye, he suddenly put away that silly look, and straightened his head that was still crooked just now.
"But," he said calmly and again, "how do you know that I am really not the ‘Maca Dihel’ I used to be?"
When he said this, Barno, the old butler, was about to speak, but saw Maca quickly waved his hand.
"Don't think that you have investigated my life experience, I don't know," he twitched his mouth, meaningfully, "I want to figure out who I am, huh, I advise you not to waste your thoughts-- "
After a self-deprecating smile, Maca asked bluntly:
"Let’s talk about it! Why did you come to ask for Charlotte all of a sudden?"
In the past, Maca used a "sorcerer's stone" that had long been destroyed to perfectly bluff the Witt family's large family, and now they are finally remembered.
But even if I understood that Maca was mostly bluffing, it is hard to find a place now.
After all, after all, Maca is now also a wizard with a face in the world of magic, with strength, background, reputation, and relationships as many as there is no shortage.
What's more, the "deal" about the Sorcerer's Stone is not something that can be said clearly.
Therefore, before this instructed action, the old Patriarch of the Witt family had already instructed Old Barno to say that he could keep the situation within an acceptable range as much as possible if he could not get into trouble with Hogwarts. Inside.
As for the way to deal with Maca, the old Patriarch only said one thing-don't do anything with him!
Seeing Maca asked about the reasons for the important person, Butler Barnes was relieved secretly. Because he came to Hogwarts this time, really only had the purpose of "bringing Charlotte back".
It would be great if Maca could take the initiative to join in this.
"What else can happen," the old butler pretended to sigh, "Perhaps you remember that my lady was already engaged. Just a few days ago, her marriage partner came to me in person, Witt The family once insisted that the lady fulfill the promise to marry him."
"Are you trying to say..." Maca said with a false eye, "You can't help it?"
"This...my lady was originally engaged to him~IndoMTL.com~If it wasn't for you..."
Before Maca appeared, the old man had done enough to make a strong statement. Now facing Maca, he has put on the appearance of knowing affection and moving with reason.
Although he didn't finish his words, he already knew what he wanted to convey.
To tell the truth, this old housekeeper is actually quite low-profile. Thinking about it, besides the old patron, who else can make him communicate so well?
Unfortunately, for Maca, Charlotte is definitely impossible to hand over. At the beginning, when his strength was not enough, he could take the senior sister out of the dark Witt family. Is it possible for him to compromise now?
"Steward Barnes," Maca chuckled and shook his head. "For the sake of your politeness today, I won't say anything unacceptable. Go back and tell the old Patriarch Witt. If you can’t refuse it yourself, just ask Charlotte’s marriage contractor to come to me directly!"
As he said, he waved his hand again.
"I will give him and Charlotte a chance to talk face-to-face-if Charlotte can go with him according to her own wishes, then I will not hinder it."
The Werther family does not want to make trouble, so Maca will naturally not take the initiative to provoke. Being openly hostile to an ancient wizard family without being forced to do so is not courage and persistence, but outright recklessness.
"Of course, if Charlotte doesn't want to go..."
Maca didn't finish speaking either, but after expressing his attitude, he spread his hand forward and signaled that the old man could go back to find their Patriarch.
The old butler stared at Maca a few more times, and finally nodded.
"I will convey your meaning to the Patriarch."
