Chapter 1259: Tossing and turning
Walton McNeill is a big man.
As an executioner on the Dangerous Animals Committee under the Ministry of Magic's Beasts Office, he often has to carry a long-handled axe to carry out executions, and he does have a strong physique that ordinary wizards do not have.
Of course, compared to his height of nearly two meters, his figure still looks a little thinner.
But even so, it must have been a rather strange feeling when such a tall man hunched his shoulders and hunched his waist nodded and smiled at another fellow who was inconspicuous among ordinary people.
"McNeill, I won't say anything else...... I don't care about anything like your former Death Eater status with Nott, and what you've done to me in the past. You just have to give me another time turner and you'll be nothing. ”
Upstairs in the study at McNeill's house, Maca stood in front of Walton, spreading her right palm to him as she spoke.
"Hurry up, take it out."
For Maca, Walton doesn't dare to make any mistakes now.
He is also a veteran clerk who has been working in the Ministry of Magic for ten years, and he has known Maca early on because of the Hippogriff's winged beast Buckbeak.
So obviously, in terms of how Maca has come to this point step by step in recent years, Walton is completely in his eyes.
He knew very well that this Marca McLean, whether in terms of strength or power, was not something he could afford to provoke as a small character who had been secretly hiding in the Ministry of Magic for more than ten years but had never achieved anything.
As soon as he heard Maca ask for another time turner, Walton hurriedly nodded his head repeatedly, for fear that if he agreed slowly, he would invite some kind of unwarranted disaster.
"Okay, Mr. McLean...... Wait a minute, I'll pick it up! Go get it! ”
Seeing this, Notte, who was leading Maca over, faintly had a tendency to have a seizure. In his opinion, as long as Walton said that there was indeed a converter, it meant that the other party had used a fake one to deceive him.
However, Maca naturally sensed Nott's mood, and saw him glance back slightly, and the warning in his eyes immediately made Noether immediately close his mouth.
In fact, Maca doesn't care if there will be any dispute between Noether and Walton, let alone what kind of past there is between the two. All he needed now was a time turner.
What's more, these two people are not good people in the first place.
As long as the real time turner is in hand, the two of them can quarrel as much as they like, and a life-and-death duel on the spot has nothing to do with him.
But the premise has to be that he gets the converter.
Watching Walton leave the study in a hurry, Maca casually pulled out a backrest chair next to her and sat down while secretly paying attention to the other party's whereabouts.
Although Noether next to him wanted to follow Walton's footsteps at the moment, the look in Maca's eyes just now made him no longer dare to move at will.
"Sit down, too!"
After sensing that the source of magic representing Walton had entered a room, Maca pointed to the sofa not far away, and motioned for Note to stand in the middle and put on a distracted look.
To be honest, he was already annoyed enough in his own heart, and looking at Nott's appearance, he obviously felt even more impatient.
When Nott was busy and sat aside, Maca thought about it casually, and suddenly remembered Joey, the daughter of the other party's family who was raised as a maid.
"By the way, I heard Mrs. Parkinson say that the little girl named Joey is your daughter?"
"Ahh Nott didn't know why Maca suddenly asked this, but since Maca asked, he could only nod with some blankness, "Yes, yes, my daughter...... Joey Knott. ”
"Then ......," Maka recalled, then asked again, "Is her mother's name Amanda?" ”
"Uh, this ...... How do you know? ”
Noether never thought that Maca would know about this.
In fact, his son and daughter, Theodore and Joey, are actually half-siblings. Just because his son Theodore's mother died early, and at that time, because he was eager to create a career and revitalize the family, he did not seek his next marriage.
So, he almost naturally got along with Amanda, the maid of the house.
However, Amanda is just a squib, and Knott, who claims to be a descendant of a pure-blood family, would never tell the story at all. It is impossible for him to admit the fact that he is with Amanda, let alone marry each other into the family.
Nott's relationship with Joey's mother has always been kept secret.
Not long afterward, however, he was arrested as a Death Eater and thrown into Azkaban. Even before he went to prison, he didn't know that Amanda was pregnant with a daughter.
Therefore, it can be said that when the old Noether stepped into the house for the first time after returning, he himself was very surprised-who would have thought that after more than ten years of imprisonment, he would be stunned to have an extra daughter?
However, to the great joy of old Nott, his maid Amanda still seems to be quite "sensible".
Before he returned, the other party learned about Azkaban's major prison escape in the newspaper, and after realizing that old Noether might soon return home, he left first.
To the delight of old Noether, according to his son Theodore, Joey did not show any magical talent even after the age of twelve. There was nothing out of the ordinary, no magic rampage, and Amanda had no intention of sending Joey to Hogwarts.
Amanda's sensibility made old Nott a little reminiscent of the old love. So he still recognized Joey's daughter in the end, but of course, he accepted it as a "goddaughter".
He knew that this was the reason why Amanda kept Joey in his Noether family - even if the Noether family was down, life here would definitely be better than leaving with her as orphaned and widowed.
But Knott didn't expect that Maca's opening would casually puncture what he had been trying to hide.
Fortunately, it soon became apparent that Maca's focus was not on his unusually bloody messy family relationships.
"You don't care how I know," Marka said casually, "Anyway, while you're waiting for McNeill to come over, I'll give you a reminder by the way - send Joey to Hogwarts as soon as possible!" ”
"W-What do you mean?" When Noether heard this, he immediately wondered, "Joey is like her mother...... Is it a squib? ”
"Huh?"
When Maca heard this, she couldn't help but shake her head.
"I don't know if that Amanda is a Squib, but your daughter Joey certainly isn't—seriously, you should be lucky for your son that kid hasn't been a silent person at home for so long!"
"Silently...... He who? ”
Of course, Knott wouldn't be unaware of what a "silent one" was, but—
"I've heard Theodore say that Joey's kid hasn't gone on a magical rampage, huh? How could this be ......"
Seeing that he still looked incredulous, Maca was about to say something more, but then he sensed that Walton was coming to the study.
At the moment, the time turner is the most important, so he immediately waved his hand and said simply and clearly:
"Anyway, when all this is gone, remember to send Joey to Hogwarts, understand?"
Before he could speak, the two of them saw that the door to the study finally opened again.
"Mr. McLean, look, the time turner!"
I saw that Walton was holding something, and hurried to Maka's face, and carefully held it to Maka's hand.
Seeing this, Maca immediately reached out and pinched the chain, bringing the converter in his palm to her eyes.
That's right! This time it was right—the time-regular fluctuations peculiar to the sands of time were all too familiar to Maca.
It's just that at the same time, the extremely real rule fluctuations are also inadvertently hooking the old wounds in his body. Even with the long-term use of potions to neutralize the injury, that made him cough lightly twice.
"Okay," Maka looked at it a few more times, then put the converter away, "McNeil, I don't care if you were deliberately deceiving Nott or if I don't know if the first converter was fake...... Anyway, I've already received it, so I won't worry about you before. ”
With that, he waved his hand, and walked straight to the door.
"Nott, you should remember everything I said, then after I leave, you can do whatever you want! However, I still have to remind you that during this time, it is forbidden to go out at will. ”
Looking at the door, which was soon empty after speaking, Nott and Walton both breathed a sigh of relief—it was indeed a wizard who could fight back and forth with Helmo, and with him, both of them were almost overwhelmed by the invisible momentum.
But this is also a matter of course, because in these two days, Maca was already in a bad mood. If it weren't for the fact that Delphi had loosened his nerves, these two guys would have suffered a lot.
After a moment, Noether, who had recovered a little, suddenly turned his head and glared at McNeill as if he remembered something.
"Walton! You actually gave me a fake - did you know you almost killed me? ”
Noether could even imagine that if Maca had been replaced by his previous master, Voldemort, he would have said goodbye to this tragic life in a green light!
But on the other side, the tall McNeil also glared at Nott fiercely, and said in a low voice:
"Then why don't you figure out who really wants the time converter...... That's McLean! You brought him to my house! ”
