Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 1256: Fake
Before he went to Parkinson's house, Knott had no idea that the real purchaser was Namaka McLean. Seriously, if he had known the true situation earlier, he would never consider crossing the middleman Vanessa.
However, when Knott left Parkinson’s house in a hurry, planning to give up some greedy thoughts and go straight home to complete the deal with Vanessa, he bumped into the one he least wanted to see in his own home. People.
"...Unexpectedly, this time converter turned out to be what you wanted, Mr. McLean."
As far as Maca's ability is concerned, Knott knows better than Mrs. Parkinson's. So when he saw Maca, his first reaction was not to turn his head and run away, but to try his best to fool it.
Run, you can't run away.
"Oh! Right...time converter..."
While talking, Knot suddenly turned his pockets and walked towards Maca. When Maca saw this, she also had a little expectation.
Too much trouble has been spent today for this time converter. If this can be obtained, it will naturally be better.
But at this moment, there was a familiar wave of magical power that caused Maca to be taken aback.
"Mr. McLean, right here, you take it." Nott took out the time converter he got from Walton from his pocket and handed it over to Maca's hand happily. "Of course, you don't need a Jin Jialong, it's free!"
However, Knott soon saw Macana's frowning brows, which made him start to frighten.
"McLean...Mr.?" He couldn't help but ask cautiously, "What's the matter?"
At the moment opposite him, Maca held the time converter in his palm with one hand, but gently shook his head and said:
"This was stolen from the Ministry of Magic, right?"
"Uh, no--"
When he heard Maca's questioning, the first thought that flashed through Knott's mind was to deny it. But as soon as he thought that denial might be meaningless, he immediately stopped.
After that, just listen to him honestly:
"Well...Yes, I took it from the Time Office of the Department of Mysteries...Oh, but I didn’t take it, it was—"
"Who is it?"
Seeing that he stopped in the middle of speaking, Maca asked casually.
It can be seen that Knott seems to be a little hesitant—Walton is a rare friend in his life, and he has been playing with him since he was a kid, betraying his friends, no matter who it is. There will be some hesitation.
It's just that... Obviously, that deep friendship with Walton in the past was completely wiped out by an oblivion spell cast by his hand long before he was imprisoned in Azkaban.
Although he had been very familiar with the other party before, for the current Knott, Walton McNeill is just a slightly familiar stranger.
"Um..." After a short pause, he immediately said, "It's Walton McNeill, a staff member of the Department of Fantastic Beast Control of the Ministry of Magic--he used to be a Death Eater."
"McNeill--" Maca thought for a while, and quickly said, "Oh, is that the execution officer of the Dangerous Animals Committee?"
To be honest, Maca's reaction when he heard these words was significantly different from Knott's imagination.
Notte thought that Maca would at least frown and be slightly surprised when he heard "Death Eaters". But in fact, he found that Maca seemed to have known that such a Death Eater was hiding in the Ministry of Magic, and he didn't show any surprised expression at all.
In fact, Maca did know the identity of this "Walton McNeill" as a Death Eater-not only that, he even said a few words to that guy in the early years!
"Mr. McLean, do you... know Walton?"
"Huh?"
Maca is still staring at the time converter in his hand, and he is rather casual and authentic:
"Yes...In the past, there was a eagle-headed horse-winged beast that needed to be executed, and he was the execution officer at that time."
After that, he suddenly put the time converter in Knott's hands again, smacking his lips, turning into a little impatient:
"Take it back! This is fake."
"What!"
Not only felt his hands sink slightly, and then he heard Maca's words. Suddenly, he was dumbfounded in a daze, and it took a few seconds before he could react.
"How is this... possible? I clearly..."
"Obviously, I saw Walton take it with my own eyes in the Time Hall."-He secretly added such a sentence in his heart.
Knott obviously didn't dare to say this sentence. After all, in the Department of Mysteries, they had also ambushed Maca under the leadership of Voldemort.
But just because these "little guys" were inconspicuous at the time, Maca seems to have no idea who they are. Now if he dared to speak out, wouldn't it be that he wanted to die?
It’s just that, this will not prevent him from having a lot of confusion about the current situation-is this fake? how can that be? How could there be a fake time converter in the Ministry of Magic?
Unless...
"...Walton guy, he lied to me?"
"I'm afraid that's not the case." Maca shook his head. "Actually, this time converter was made by me personally using Transfiguration-I made five in total and replaced the mystery with them. The five in the division are true."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help rubbing his forehead a little boredly, and then waved his hand:
"If you have any clues about the time converter, tell me immediately if you think of it, understand? As long as you can find one that can be used, whether it is a reduction of Azkaban’s prison sentence or more gold plus Long, everything is easy to say."
"I'm leaving now... I'll send an owl to the Broken Cauldron Bar when I get news."
Before the voice was over, Maca walked straight to the door, and soon left the sight of the three people present.
Walking in the alley outside, Maca couldn't help but shook his head again-so much time has been wasted in such a trip, and it was a vain joy.
And more importantly, the clues I finally found at the very beginning were not only a dead end, but the wall of the dead end was actually built by himself in the past!
I have to say that after this time, Maca still gave birth to some uncontrollable irritability in her heart.
"Calm...Calm..." He paused, lowered his head slightly and said to himself, "Think about it, where else can I find the time converter? Who else..."
In short, go find Lucius first! Let Lucius ask all those pure-blood families as much as possible, and he himself would go to the Witt family in the underground black market.
With such a two-pronged approach, at least the efficiency will be much higher than him alone.
……
Just as Maca was going to find Lucius, it was in Malfoy Manor.
Since London and Hogwarts are undoubtedly unstable right now, as Draco's parents, the hearts of the Malfoys are obviously half-hanging.
Fortunately, Draco also participated in the Hogwarts study tour program, which somewhat relieved the couple.
Seeing that London has become more and more dangerous in the past two days, Lucius and his wife can only hide at home and dare not go anywhere. While secretly praying for their son to have a smooth journey, they seemed to have nothing else to ask for.
Yes, although the Malfoy family has returned to the sight of many families and ordinary wizards some time ago under that suitable opportunity. But now, they have no intention to take care of those things anymore.
There is no doubt that compared to my own life, that little honor may not be a big deal.
But ~IndoMTL.com~ Although they don't want to go out at all, things will come automatically.
"Boom boom boom——"
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the mansion, causing the Malfoys who were sitting in the side hall nervously to quake slightly.
"At this time...who will be here?"
Lucius's face was a bit unnatural, and Narcissa's expression was no better than her husband's. Seeing that the house elf who was standing by and waiting was about to open the door, Lucius immediately said:
"Wait, don't go now."
"Yes, master."
The elf who succeeded Dobby to serve the Malfoy family, although Dobby is not as smart as that, the biggest advantage is obedience. Lucius told him not to go, he just bowed his head and stayed still on the spot.
Unfortunately, the patience left in the heart of the one knocking outside at this moment is already running out.
