When Vanessa, who was waiting at Nott's house, heard Maca's voice coming from behind, her expression was undoubtedly wonderful. Because not only did she not expect Maca to come back so quickly, but she also didn't expect Maca to find her location directly.

Why? I was obviously not careless at all, and I didn't even reveal half of my daughter's whereabouts. But this McLean actually ......

In this world, can the gap between two people really be so big?

The weather is now in late spring, and the temperature is not as cold as it was in previous months. But at this moment, Vanessa only felt a chill in the air she inhaled into her lungs.

For a while, she didn't even dare to look back.

McKellen ...... Mr? You-"

"Mrs. Parkinson."

While interrupting the other party's words, Maca didn't look at Fanthasa's back in a daze. He just tilted his head slightly and looked over the other person's head at the old alley outside the window.

The creeper on the red brick wall opposite is growing luxuriantly, like a pair of tender green palms holding the light in the afternoon sun. Just looking at it like this can make people's mood gradually relax.

Of course, by the way, it can also soothe the boredom and annoyance in his chest a little.

“…… Madame," he said calmly, "I must say that I am not absolutely averse to things that 'deceive' others. However, that is based on the premise that it can successfully fool everyone...... Do you understand? ”

"As the saying goes, when no one knows what the truth is, what is false is true."

Speaking of this, Maka paused slightly, and Maka shrugged her shoulders and said:

"But this time, your deception of me has clearly failed."

When Vanessa heard this, her face immediately changed slightly, and she couldn't help but whisper:

"I ...... Didn't lie to you. ”

"You see," Maca shook her head, "you're not good at lying...... Well, tell me! Whose hands are the clues to the time turner...... Is it the owner of this house? ”

On the other side, Vanessa, who was sitting at the table with her back to Maca, couldn't help but be silent for a few moments. After a moment, she nodded.

Maca McKellen's magical prowess was beyond her imagination. And in the face of such a powerful wizard, no matter how much you insist on resisting, it's probably pointless, right?

"Yes," she said softly after all, "this is Auston Knott's home...... Based on what I've heard from the black market before, there's a good chance he's aware of the timer...... Or even have one outright. ”

"Nott?"

Maca suddenly felt that this surname was a little familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, she raised her eyebrows.

"Oh, is that the Nott family, one of the twenty-eight clans?"

"Well," Vanessa replied, adding, "I've asked before, and while he doesn't have a time-turner of his own, he does know who has it. About twenty minutes ago, he went to look for it. ”

It's always good to have a clue.

From the very beginning, Maca's goal was to find a time converter, and it didn't seem to matter who got it from.

"Is this the Golden Galleon you promised to that Notte?"

Under the silent gaze of the little girl Joy, Maca paced to the coffee table by the window, and immediately saw several stacks of gold coins stacked on top of it.

And perhaps because she found that Maca didn't pursue her faults too much, Vanessa finally breathed a sigh of relief. In response to Maca's casual question, she immediately replied:

"No, that's only half the ...... Knott asked for a double. ”

"And you said yes?" Maca casually glanced at the gold gallons on the coffee table, and said meaningfully, "Unexpectedly, you are quite 'generous'?" ”

It's just a few dozen gold galleons, and even if it doubles again, it's less than a hundred galleons. Just before that, if you say more or less, you can buy five unicorns on the black market.

However, if it is only used as an "intermediary fee" to find a time converter, it is barely enough - well, this means doubling it, of course.

For Maca's teasing, the current Vanessa didn't dare to argue at all, so she could only keep her mouth shut and acquiesce. To be honest, she's starting to regret it now, how good would it be to tell Noether directly?

There is no doubt that this McLean's favor is not so good!

On the other side, Maca, who was standing not far from Fanasha, saw that she was no longer talking, and suddenly felt a little bored. Coupled with the fact that the matter of Luna and Delphi was still haunting Maca's heart, he couldn't help but sigh lightly and cast his eyes on the world outside the window again.

But at this moment, Joey, who had been pursing his lips and staring at him since just now, seemed to finally can't help but speak:

"Sir...... You...... You can't just break into someone's house. ”

It seemed that she wanted to blame Maca, but she didn't dare to speak out loud because she was afraid of life, and it looked quite cute in the eyes of Maca who looked back.

If you have to say it...... Yes, that look actually looks a lot like Ginny when she was a child, and she always showed timidity when she saw outsiders.

"Oh," Maca smiled, "yes, I think you're right, I'm a bit rude. ”

Seeing that Maca very decisively admitted her mistake, Joey seemed a little shy. But when her cheeks were slightly red, she said very seriously:

"Most importantly, you will be blamed by the head of the house for doing so...... And the young master too. ”

"Do you blame me?" Maca continued to laugh, "Oh, I didn't expect you to worry about me, huh? It's okay, I don't think they're going to blame me, you can rest assured. ”

But before the words fell, Joey immediately shook his head and muttered:

"No, they'll blame me, I accidentally let you in...... It's terrible for the head of the house to get angry, and then I'll have to do a lot of extra work to get him off. ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Vanessa, who was sitting on the side, finally glanced at Joey a little strangely.

"Aren't you Noether's daughter? How does it sound...... But more like a servant? ”

And Vanessa's words made Demaka frown.

"Daughter?"

If Extraordinary Nasha said it, Maca didn't expect that this little girl was actually the child of the owner of the family - to raise her daughter as a servant, is there such a family?

But thinking about it, Maca was suddenly stunned, and then said to Joey:

"Wait—is the 'young master' you just said called 'Theodore'?"

"Yes, yes," Joey nodded as soon as he heard the name, "the young master's name is Theodore, Theodore Nott...... Sir, do you know our young master? ”

"Is it him?"

Maca didn't answer Joey's question right away, because he was still thinking about "Theodore" at this point.

In fact, this Theodore was once his classmate, having enrolled at Hogwarts in the same class as him. It's just that after the other party was assigned to Slytherin, the two hardly had any intersection.

He'd only heard occasionally that the guy and Malfoy seemed to be on pretty good terms.

And because Maca and Theodore didn't know each other well, he couldn't even remember this "peer" when he mentioned the Noether family before. It wasn't until Joey mentioned it again that he couldn't remember that there was such a person.

But it must be said that Theodore's brain is obviously quite good, and it can keep Maca from noticing, which is enough to prove that the guy is a so-called "smart person".

Now, then, judging by what Joey said, this "smart man" ...... It doesn't seem to be a good thing. You know, this is his sister!

"I remember, old Noether seems to have been a Death Eater in the past?"

This sentence, Maca turned her head to look at Vanessa and asked, after all, Joey may not know about this kind of thing. When Vanessa heard this, she quickly gave an affirmative answer.

"Yes," she said, "he was a Death Eater and did a lot for Voldemort. ”

"Is it still a fish that slipped through the net?" Maca said thoughtfully, "But that's it...... He must have spent more than a decade in prison in Azkaban, right? ”

After pondering like this, he couldn't help but look at Joey again, and then said:

"You grew up living with Theodore?"

"And Amanda," Joey nodded slightly, before adding, "but then, before the head of the house returned, Amanda was suddenly gone. ”

Is it old Noether's maid and lover or something? Actually Joey's biological mother?

Brain supplement is brain supplement, although the truth is indeed very likely to be the case, but Maca can't be concluded from this. But nothing else, at least after the immediate troubles are resolved, the old Noether will definitely be sent back to Azkaban.

Maca didn't ask any more questions, he just kept the incident in his heart for the time being, and then turned around and told Sirius or Kingsley by the way.

However, the reason why he didn't continue to ask for the time being was mainly the magic fluctuation that suddenly appeared outside the door of this house.

"Click."

With a snap of the deadbolt, the door opened, and a man walked in from outside. When the other party saw that there was another person in the family, he was stunned.

"Mai...... Mclean! ”

"Well," Maka said faintly, looking at the figure at the door, "Mr. Nott, welcome home—of course, if you could tell me you've brought the time-turner, we'd probably welcome you even more!" ”

"Uh......" Nott in front of the door came back to his senses a little when he heard it, and listened to him hurriedly say, "Oh! Unexpectedly, this time turner turned out to be what Mr. McClain wanted! ”
