Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 799: The so-called “respect”
Since there was such a thing yesterday, Maca really didn't remember Charlotte's affairs for a while.
After all, whether it is for Maca himself or for Hogwarts as a whole, the remnant of Helbo's soul sneaking into the campus and possessing Harry is obviously much more important.
It wasn't until he finished sorting out some information in the office at night that he went through the process of the Witt family coming to ask for someone in his mind again.
Regarding Charlotte, Maca would definitely not let those so-called "family members" take away casually, because he knew very well that this senior sister had already had little affection for her family.
What else in that mansion is worthy of her nostalgia, probably her father, right?
At least, in any case, the fiancé who Maca has never met will definitely not be the reason for her to go home and accept her destiny.
Therefore, as Maca who was taken care of by Charlotte after enrollment, this time I intend to be a good person to the end. After all, he brought the people out at the beginning, and now he has the confidence, and it makes no sense to ignore the difficulties of this senior.
However, what Maca did not expect was that Charlotte's nominal fiancé came so fast!
"It seems something is wrong?"
Maca stood by the window of the office, his eyes staying in the direction of the school gate, those "guests" more than yesterday made him frowned and thought in secret.
It is certainly not an ordinary family that can marry the Witt family. Judging from what Maca heard when he tried to take Charlotte away, the background of the other party was at least comparable to Charlotte's family.
It is such a force that cannot be underestimated. It was not turbulent when the marriage contract was just lost in the past, but now it appears to be eager to wait for a night. Among the reasons, Maca is hard to care about.
"The one standing in front should be Charlotte's fiance?"
He stared at the situation over there from a distance, looking at it from here, without magic, he could only look at it roughly.
"Professor Flitwick, did they say anything today?"
"Well, I didn't actually say much," the little Flitwick who stood behind Maca screamed. "The Augustine master just said that he wanted to see Miss Witt. Going back..."
"Augustine?"
Maca recalled a bit, and quickly turned to a little information about that family from some miscellaneous reading memories.
The modern intelligence of such ancient wizard families is almost zero. If you want to guess what kind of family they are, you must look for them from some ancient records.
It must be very difficult for ordinary wizards nowadays, but for Maca who used to browse and borrow many ancient books in Rowena's secret room, there are not so many obstacles.
"Oh," he said quickly, "It should be the descendant of Aurelius Augustine who used "theology" to fool Muggles?"
is different from the typical way of starting up for the ancient wizards of the Witt family who "prospered by magical achievements";
The Augustine family relied on conveying "philosophical" and "aesthetic" ideas to Muggles, and incidentally used "theology" to narrow the distance between Muggles and him.
If you look at the result of accumulating your wealth, Aurelius Augustine’s approach back then is obviously successful.
It’s a pity that the changes of the times will always bring about unpredictable changes in many situations. For families like Augustine, what they fear most is the complete separation of wizards and Muggles. In this way...
Maca wondered how much he had guessed, and suddenly felt that he had caught something.
Could it be that... the Augustine family intends to completely rely on the Witt family for the marriage?
It is conceivable that a big family that was once brilliant, had to suffer huge losses under the general trend, but was unwilling to disclose the emptiness inside because of its former glory.
Whether it is a wizard or a Muggle, countless forces in history have had this tendency to "deceive themselves". Even some families are unwilling to admit their own weakness, and they are still struggling to maintain the "superficial scenery" before they are about to fall.
As soon as he thought of this, Maca couldn't help but nodded slightly—the possibility of his own speculation was not low.
However, although Maca’s conjecture was accurate enough, he lacked some vital information, so that his inference finally deviated from the truth hidden behind the matter.
"Professor, where is Charlotte now?"
Looking at Professor McGonagall who was dealing with "visitors" at the school gate, Maca asked again.
"Oh, Minerva said she was a bit late at the Pig's Head Bar yesterday, maybe she was still sleeping in her room right now?"
Maca heard the words, and suddenly nodded and said: "It seems that Professor McGonagall may not have time to tell her this... Well, let me go and see her first! Professor Flitwick, please. Go tell Professor McGonagall and say that Sister Charlotte and I will be there soon."
"Ah, yes."
Watching Flitwick leave the office in a hurry, Maca glanced out of the window again-the weather today is still not so good, this is just morning, the dense clouds have completely blocked the sun from the sky Above.
……
"Tuk-Tuk-Tuk."
As a magic school, Hogwarts cannot be said to have many students and few faculty members. To say that the most in this school, I am afraid that those house elves clean every day, but most of them can't use the empty rooms.
And the Miss Charlotte Witt, who had escaped from the family, lived in an empty room that was originally intended to be used as a professor's office.
Speaking of it, since Charlotte returned to Hogwarts, Maca seems to have never been here.
After knocking on the door several times, he finally heard some movement inside. However, perhaps because this is a school, the beauty who is always carefree still pays attention.
When the door was opened, Maca saw a neatly dressed Miss Witt, not the pajamas version of Charlotte she had seen in the Muggle apartment.
It's a pity that the pair of eyes can't fool Maca--this big beauty, it's obvious that she is still sleeping in bed!
"Maca?"
Charlotte blinked his still somewhat sour eyes, and sent a puzzled look.
Today is Sunday, and the slow-paced life of the two-day break has made Charlotte used to sleep more on the last morning of the week, so as to soothe the skin that has become a little dry due to daily work.
Women should take good care of their appearance, especially beautiful women, they will naturally be more vigilant in the face of future aging.
But she also knew that Maca seemed to be busy every day. In addition to eating, lectures and sleeping, there are many other things to do. This is the first time I came to my room this morning!
"Well, good morning!" Maca shrugged, "I heard that I came back a bit late yesterday, so I'm still sleeping?"
"Oh, let's put it like this..." Charlotte said, "What's the matter, junior? You are a busy person, how can you have the time to hang around with your sister? There must be something?"
Maca smiled habitually when he heard the words. His senior sister is still like this, she always makes people feel light and vigorous when she talks, as if there is no need to worry about anything in this world.
and Luna are completely two types, but these two completely different personalities can make people feel that they are different in the same way.
To tell the truth, Maca really doesn't want to mess up this rare relaxing atmosphere with the messy things outside.
"It's really something," he shook his head, "but it's not appropriate to stand at the door and say something...Do you mind if I go in and talk to you?"
"Oh, of course it's okay," Charlotte said with a smile, "then come in! Hey, there is nothing shameful in my sister's room!"
Seeing Charlotte stepping back and giving way a little, Maca curled his lips noncommittal, and walked in unceremoniously.
"Huh?"
As soon as he entered inside, Maca felt a strong sense of sight.
The tightly drawn curtains, rudimentary furniture and an antique oil lamp, except that there is not much moisture here and there are no cracks on the wall, it is almost the same as the old apartment where Charlotte lived at the time. The rooms are exactly the same.
"Uh, senior sister, are you out of nostalgia?" Maca asked in surprise.
"Huh, can't you?"
Charlotte said, she raised her hand suddenly, but then only patted Maca on the shoulder.
"Sit down! At least there are two chairs here now, and the bed is in the middle...Well, would you like something to drink? Although I only have boiled water here."
Don't slap on the back anymore...Also~IndoMTL.com~In this way, we can deal with today's affairs with less scruples.
"No, no need to be busy," Maca sat down on the round stool by the table and sighed, "Sit down too! In order to prevent Professor McGonagall from wasting too much time, I am here I don’t want to say it leisurely..."
Seeing Maca’s expression suddenly became more serious, Charlotte also keenly smelled some of it. Although she didn't know exactly what happened, she would eventually have something to do with herself, but she didn't run away.
"You say it!"
She sat down on the other side of the small wooden table and chose to listen instead of asking.
"That's it," Maca chose the wording first, and then said, "Yesterday morning, someone from your family came and said that he wanted to take you back to the family."
"Their reason is that engagement in the past."
No matter how long Maca can stretch his hand, when it comes to friends' personal issues, he will take care not to be too presumptuous.
Therefore, even if he clearly knows Charlotte's decision, he has to give the other party the right to choose first. Otherwise, he would be sorry for the shot Charlotte didn't fall on his vest just now.
"And today," Maca continued, "To be precise, it is now - Augustine has arrived."
