Chapter 1643: The Fourth Man in the Stern

————————

Dear Professor McGonagall,

If you see this note I left behind, and Mr. Malfoy and I are no longer on board, don't worry too much. I just noticed that he seemed to want to leave the Change, so I decided to follow along.

In fact, I think he'd been thinking about going back to see his family for a long time, and the professor must have understood his feelings.

Allow me to repeat it again - Professor, please don't worry too much, I can't stop him, but I'll do everything I can to get him to Professor McLean's.

Your sincere student

Pansy Parkinson

————————

When McGonagall saw a note at the door of her cabin, apparently hastily written by a spell, Malfoy had indeed left the Change, heading off into the distance in the rolling waves.

Yes, there are only three of them on the lifeboat right now, Malfoy, Ens and Alexander. They rely on some ...... For example, the obstacle charm, which can block the waves slightly, and the smoothing charm, which increases the speed of the boat, can barely be considered smooth to get on the road.

But they didn't know that at this moment, there was an invisible figure sitting quietly at the end of the boat, silently watching the three of them divide their labors and work to sneak away from the Change.

“…… Draco. ”

Suddenly, a voice sounded faintly at the end of the boat. It's just that the surrounding noises are too loud, and it is easy to cover up the already slight words, and no one hears them.

It's just clear that the person who is quietly following in stealth is Miss Parkinson, who also left a note for Professor McGonagall.

After the pagan turmoil caused by Helbo's "apprentice", the vicious ritual power that originally existed in Pansy's body has long since been eliminated. But it can also be said that she is a blessing in disguise, and the magical power that she was able to grow at that time has been consolidated and has become her own ability.

Thus, even if her growth was based on advances in modern magic, she was at least better than Malfoy in terms of actual skills.

After all, although Malfoy had also gained extraordinary power due to the erosion of the energy of the Bewitchment Monument, it was only a growth that did not belong to him after all. When Maca had drained that part of the anomalous energy from his own hands, of course, he had nothing left.

"Draco...... Anyway, I liked you like that before, so ...... At least let me protect you one last time! Then, it's time for me to work hard for my own family. ”

Pansy tightened the Auror cloak on her body, something she had given herself when she was working as a pagan "spy" for Maca.

Since then, since Maca did not go back to her to ask for it, it has remained in her possession.

And I have to say that even if Maca doesn't seem to care much about this thing, it can be regarded as a rare treasure in the current situation where the invisible beast group is becoming less and less.

"Well, by the way, if I also join the fight against Helbo...... Will McLean be willing to take care of our Parkinson's family more in the future? ”

Surrounded by waves that seemed to never stop around them, the boat beneath Ens and Alexander was still jolting and rocking like a pirate ship in a Muggle playground, even as Ens and Alexander kept casting obstacle charms. Their efforts were only the result of keeping the boat from capsizing immediately.

Pansy, who was sitting in the stern of the boat, didn't seem to panic at all - she even had time to figure out what she should do in the future.

However, it is also natural to think about it.

She's also a person who has been involved in Maca's plan before, and after facing a really tricky situation, the risk of not losing her life like this no longer makes her too scared.

Don't you see the Malfoy in front of him who is using the smoothing charm to control the sea water to speed up the boat? His composure was also palpable, and it didn't seem like much to him.

And when they sailed quickly in the ocean for nearly half an hour, and Malfoy and the other three felt very tired, the original violent wind and rain finally became much less.

"I'm almost out of the thunderstorm area."

Alexander said as he glanced back at him. It can be seen that the black and oppressive sea in the distance is the direction they sailed all the way just now.

And Malfoy, who was still standing at the bow of the ship at the moment, also subconsciously turned his head to glance at it after hearing it, and a thoughtful expression gradually appeared on his face.

When he roughly calculated the distance and made sure they were far enough away from the Change, he pulled open the waterproof cloak and the outer robe inside, and pulled out an old keychain with a ring from the inside pocket.

"Alright, you two come here! It's time to get out of this damn sea...... Honestly, I'll never see that much water again in my life! ”

After a moment's time, Ens and Alexander stepped in with it, each placing their hands on the old keyring, which was a little rusty.

The next moment, as Malfoy activated the portkey, which had never been registered with the Ministry of Magic, in a burst of spatial expansion and contraction, the three figures disappeared in an instant, leaving only an old wooden boat drifting alone in the undulating waves.

Of course, none of them noticed in their rush to get out of here, but the second before Malfoy activated the portkey, the bronze key that had fallen on the ring had somewhat unusually stopped shaking.

……

Speaking of which, Pansy and Malfoy, as well as Ens and Alexander, had slipped away from the Change, and Marca had known about it for a long time.

What's more, even the news about the whereabouts of Malfoy and the other three quickly appeared on Mr. Blois's desk, much faster than Pansy had imagined before leaving.

Of course, Pansy, who was only secretly following, hadn't appeared in the document yet.

"Wiltshire? What are the few of them going to do there...... Oh! Wait a minute...... Is it Malfoy Manor? ”

In the study of the head of the house in Fort Blois, Maca was holding the report document handed to him by Willy's father, looking at a message on it.

To be honest, this news is actually unremarkable.

Because, those family wizards sent out from the Blois family are mainly interested in inquiring about Helbo. And this time, during the search for the missing Helmao, the traces of Malfoy and Parkinson were found by the way, which was only an accident that was not accidental.

"I see...... I'll take care of this myself, and you can just let your people continue with their original tasks. ”

With that, Maca put the paper back on her desk.
