Chapter 1192: The Road Meets Norman Witt
"Sirius, I'll leave these two to you for now...... But you also have a mission here, and if you can't spare it, I suggest you have someone send it to Lupin's side. Anyway, I've got them under control, and nothing should happen. ”
"Well, okay, I know what to do."
In Diagon Alley, Maca is talking to Sirius, discussing some of the next solutions.
In fact, not only Sirius, but also Maca herself had a lot to do, especially since he definitely had to go back to Hogwarts as soon as possible to see how Harry was doing.
While Maca and Sirius were discussing, the four of Hermione and the others went to Tonks' side, solemnly apologizing for their words and their previous farewells.
However, with Tonks' temper, how could he easily blame a few of them? It didn't take long for several young people of similar age to become much closer.
Tonks was even secretly thinking about whether he and Lupin should have a few more pairs of groomsmen and bridesmaids when they got married, and brought these likable juniors and sisters with them.
However, it was clearly not the time to relax—especially since they didn't know that Ron and Ginny's family were safe.
"Alright, Sirius and I are done...... Is it okay on your side? ”
A moment later, Maca came up from the other side of the street and greeted the four of them:
"If there's nothing very important, I think we can go ahead and go! If we can find Fred and George at St. Mungo, maybe you'll have time to visit Neville's parents and grandmother—trust me, he'll be glad you're here. ”
"Oh, of course!" Hermione immediately said, "That's what we're going to do. ”
"Well," Maca nodded, then beckoned, "Then let's go!" I wish they—"
Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly turned his head and looked over the courtyard wall of the Leaky Cauldron Bar. Then, a familiar figure quickly walked in from there.
"Kingsley?"
"Oh, Maca, you've come here......"
But when Kingsley, who was walking into Diagon Alley, saw Maka, he took off his hat, wiped a handful of sweat on his bald head, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Since there is no way to apparition in London at the moment, he is really tired and panicked in order to rush back from Hogwarts as soon as possible.
"Looks like you already know what I'm trying to say," Kingsley immediately walked over and said without taking a moment's rest, "Then you see, what should we do with those dark wizards who suddenly appeared in the city of London?" ”
"Uh," Maka said, casually gesturing to the two Helmo apprentices who were still in the corner, "what to do, you can 'ask' them first...... When I came over just now, I caught a few of them. ”
As he spoke, he suddenly glanced at the young witch who had been standing silent, and gestured:
And the words of the one ...... Although she may not have anything directly related to Helmaugh, her sister is the same as the two of them, the so-called 'apprentice'. I met her sister on the corner in front of the Leaky Cauldron, and judging by the situation, her sister might have been planning to attack Diagon Alley again. ”
"Oh?" Kingsley immediately nodded and said, "What about the man?" ”
But when he asked, Maca could only shrug her shoulders.
"I temporarily handed her over to my spiders to take to guard, for now...... I think you know the habits of spiders, they always like to burrow into those corners where no one goes. ”
"Alright then!" Kingsley also spread his hands, then turned to Sirius and said, "It's hard for you to continue to guard here, and I will take care of these people." Plus, Lupin will arrange for someone to come and replace you in a while, so you can take a little rest then......"
Seeing that Kingsley had already talked to Sirius about the follow-up, Maca didn't have anything else to say, so after saying hello to them again, he took Hermione and the others to the Leaky Cauldron Bar together.
When they were back on the streets of London, they could see that the fog in the city was still so thick. As far as the eye can see, it is as if the whole world has returned to chaos.
To be honest, even if the misty fog doesn't seem to be physically damaging, it can be very uncomfortable psychologically.
Fortunately, at this time, Hermione and the others had already joined up with Maca, and with a reassuring reliance, everyone was unconsciously relaxed a lot.
Not to mention, the good news that Harry might have come out of the Room really lifted their spirits.
St. Mungo's was not far away, and in a short time, a few men had already walked half the way.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Luna tilted her head in confusion as if she had heard some strange sound again. I saw her tilt her head sideways, looking left and right, as if she was very confused by the vague sound.
She remembered hearing something similar in the black market...... So what exactly is it?
"What's wrong?"
Maca quickly noticed Luna's slightly strange appearance and immediately turned her head to ask.
"Well, nothing," Luna pursed her lips, muttering, "just like...... What do you hear? ”
As soon as she said this, Maca suddenly followed for a moment, and then looked up at the other side of the street. His eyes were bright and deep, as if they were about to penetrate the endless fog and reach the end of the road.
And the next moment, a slight movement came from a distance, and this time even Hermione and the others heard it. And I have to say, the sound is especially familiar to them.
"It's a carriage!" Ron suddenly spoke, "Absolutely, that's the sound of a carriage again!" ”
As the words fell, Maca and the four of them stopped at the same time, and stood still on the side of the road for a moment. Immediately afterwards, I saw two flying horses dragging a black carriage carriage, kicking and stomping through the street.
The carriage was moving fast, but even so, the coat of arms on the door was still legible—a narrow blue eye that was hard to ignore after a single glance.
"Looks like ...... Is it heading in the direction of the black market? Hermione thought for a moment and hesitated.
"That's right," Maca nodded, "I hope it's the old master of the Werther family who is calling them back, otherwise, I think the Werther family will be in a bad situation this time." ”
"What do you mean?" Hermione asked.
As Maca watched the carriage pass by, she casually explained:
"The Werther family was controlled by Helbo last time...... Of course, he actually had other plans, and after finding that the family was no longer needed, he decisively abandoned the Werther family and left. ”
"Ahh After hearing this, Hermione couldn't help but be stunned, "This means that the reason why those wizards kept their hands before...... Maybe it's because Helmo is trying to control them to do things for them this time, but they are no longer willing to cooperate? ”
Maca listened to Hermione's speculation, and then pouted at the end:
"Anyway, that's just a guess on my part at the moment...... You have to understand that the Werther family is, after all, a family with an ancient wizard heritage, and no one knows if they still have some real strength and heritage. Therefore, all conjectures are still just conjectures, and as for the actual situation, we will have to wait for further understanding to know. ”
As he was talking, Hermione suddenly seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but whisper:
"I remember, Charlotte's surname is 'Werther', right? This Werther family, do you say-"
"Well, it's Charlotte's family," Maca replied to her directly, without concealing it, "Of course, Charlotte has already broken away from her family...... I'm sure that no matter how the Werther family ends up in the end, she won't have much to think about. Only her father, who didn't want to leave the family......"
Just as Maca shook it, she didn't say any more, but waved her hand and prepared to continue with them to St. Mungo. But at this moment, everyone suddenly paused again.
"Huh?" Ron then looked back in amazement, "Again?" ”
It turned out that everyone heard the sound of the carriage suddenly stopping behind them, and then turned the car around and rushed back to them again, just like in the black market before!
Hearing this, Maca also turned around, and easily pulled Hermione and Luna behind her, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly.
The carriage went and came back as quickly, and it was not long before they saw the two flying horses stop their hooves on the side of the road with a snort, and let the carriage come to a steady stop in front of them.
Immediately after, the door of the carriage was quickly pushed open from the inside, and a figure that was not yet unfamiliar leaned out of the carriage at that time.
"Mr. McLean...... Well, if my brain hasn't become less and less useful with age. You should be Charlotte's classmate, the same Maca McLean back then, right? ”
Unexpectedly, Maca had just mentioned this man to Hermione, and the other party had already appeared in front of her. There is no doubt that this is Charlotte's father, Mr. Norman Witt.
But somehow, the other party was obviously a little wary of everything around him, and he didn't even get out of the carriage, he just leaned out and cautiously looked left and right.
Of course, no matter which direction he looked, all he could see was a gray scene.
"I think Mr. has a good memory," Maca didn't move, just stood still, "I'm the same Maca McKellen...... It seems that the gentleman should be looking for me for something? ”
