Chapter 1247: A Deadly Deal
As the wife of the head of the family who has to maintain a glamorous image even if the rations are deducted, Vanessa is not very clear about the situation in the outside world, at least the characters she should know are definitely in mind.
When she came out of the door on the inside of the main hall, she recognized at a glance who the young man who was looking up at the paintings on the wall.
Macka McKel – what a resounding name! Even Albus Dumbledore at the beginning was only as famous as him in middle age, but he was still so young!
It stands to reason that such an outstanding young wizard with an extremely high future would probably be wanted by any family member, and even began to plan early on how to get the girl in the family to tie him to their own door.
Yes, even if he was of Muggle origin, his current achievements were enough to stir the hearts of many families on the verge of collapse.
However, not only does this McLean often show some signs of anti-pureblood family, but his own strength has obviously long exceeded the limit of what most families can bear.
No, not long ago, he just turned a family with a solid background upside down, which made a bunch of pure-bloods still palpitate to this day!
With a wizard like this, to be honest, Vanessa didn't know how to deal with it...... Is it to talk to you on an equal footing? Or lower your posture a little? Or...... Is it to hold on to the dignity of pure-bloods, and not to give this little thing a good look?
Vanessa hesitated.
Perhaps her mother's temperament had been ingrained in Pansy's heart for so much so that she could not have imagined that her mother would be so uneasy.
That's why Pansy keeps emphasizing that her mother has a bad temper, as if she has a straight face for everyone......
Mrs. Parkinson, however, hesitated, and Maca clearly not.
Not to mention anything else, he is very short on time now, but he doesn't have the spare time to accompany her to tempt. If it weren't for the fact that Pansy had really made a difference during this time, he would have come over alone today.
So, just as Mrs. Parkinson was still standing at the door and thinking about herself, Maca at the other end of the main hall turned her back to her and spoke.
"Ma'am," he said lightly, "I'm not here to ask you Parkinsons to do anything, so you don't have to worry about me making demands that you can't accept...... Actually, I'm here to borrow something from you. ”
"Borrow something?"
In the few seconds of hesitation, Vanessa had already thought of many possibilities, but she didn't think about this at all.
This McLean, could it be that she fancied which heirloom of the Parkinson's family failed?
"Yes, borrow something."
It was only then that Maca turned and looked across the hall in Mrs. Parkinson's direction.
"If you remember that you have a 'time turner' at home, I hope you can lend it to me for a while and I can pay you rent. Of course, if you're willing to sell and the price isn't too outrageous...... For your daughter's sake, which is my student, I can not bargain. ”
Time Converter ......
When Vanessa heard this, she subconsciously thought about whether there was such a collection in their family's vault. But the time turner was a rather rare object, and just a little thought made her sure that they didn't have one in the Parkinsons.
Otherwise, such a pure collectible item that is quite valuable, dangerous to use, and inconvenient to show off to others, she would have taken it to the black market for anonymous auction a long time ago.
It's just that Vanessa knew that she didn't have a time turner, but she didn't explain it to Maca for a long time.
Because she suddenly realized that this might be a good opportunity to sell favors to Maca indirectly.
For now, no one is sure who will win or lose Maca and Helbo, so those families who have no confidence are still trying their best to maintain neutrality.
However, neutrality alone will never work. After all, since ancient times, the guy who stands in the middle of the general trend usually does not end well.
Therefore, before trying to wait and see a conclusion, it is inevitable to secretly give the two parties a reason not to do anything to themselves in the future.
Judging from the current momentum, Helmo can't count on it, and that guy is simply a madman.
But Helbo can't, but Maca is at least a good person to communicate with, isn't it? Even if you don't dare to stand on his side explicitly, you have to secretly leave a way back.
Before today, the Parkinsons had not asked much about their daughter Pansy, and they still did not bring her home despite the frequent incidents at Hogwarts. This is how the couple considered the situation, and planned to leave Pansy in a place where Maca could see.
And now, their little eye is actually very successful, but Vanessa still hasn't realized it.
But today, after hearing that Maca wanted a time turner, she suddenly had another idea in her heart to be able to make friends with Maca a little.
Of course, there is another point that actually makes her very excited, because Maca actually said the word "no bargain" just now!
Just before Maca was about to speak again, Fanatha's eyes lit up and she took the first step and said:
"Mr. McLean, I think there should be...... But you know, we don't look through the things that are stored in the vault very often, so we don't remember very well. If you're willing to wait a bit, I'll look for it and I'll come back and talk to you about it. ”
"Vault?" Hearing this, Maca raised her eyebrows and said, "I want you to talk about your Parkinson's family's own treasury, not Gringotts...... Or the vault of the Dark Spirit Pavilion in the black market? ”
"Ahh
What London is like now, Maca doesn't even need to say. However, Vanessa now had to "go to Gringotts or Dark Spirits" to make it.
Yes, she had already figured out who might have a time-turner, but she didn't want Maca to know that she had gotten it from someone else.
So it was clear that she needed time, more time than a trip to her underground vault.
"Well," just stunned, Vanessa simply continued with the excuse she had just made, "It's okay, I'll show my husband to Gringotts - maybe you know, he's in the Ministry of Magic right now, not far from Diagon Alley." ”
"Are you sure?" Maca frowned and said, "London is very dangerous right now, I'm worried...... Mr. Parkinson died before he even arrived at Gringotts. ”
“…… So otherwise, I'd better go and go with him! ”
