"Ahem, ahem...... Friend? ”

"Mr. McLean, ahem...... Let's do what you have to do! ”

At that time, the wizard in the dark trench coat just kept coughing, and left in a hurry after leaving these two sentences casually.

In that slightly indifferent tone, Maca even heard an inexplicable irony.

Of course, he could sense that the object of the other party's sarcasm was not him, Marka McLean. If I had to say it, it might be more like a self-deprecation.

After the mysterious wizard left abruptly, Maca wanted to sneak up on him to see who the other was. But the man's last sentence was really good - he did have one more "thing to do" right now.

This time, Helbo took the initiative to appear, undoubtedly to stop Maca from moving forward. In other words, the gray shadow that swept into the distance at high altitude was quite important to Helbo.

Yes, whether Helbo cared about the location of the gray shadow or the gray shadow itself. Anything that Helbo didn't want him to discover was worth his tracking.

So, Maca could only let go of her hesitation about the mysterious wizard first, and searched all the way in the direction where the original gray shadow flew away.

It's a pity, not to mention why Helbo left with peace of mind later! No matter how hard Maca tried, the next morning, he had to return to Black's house with nothing.

……

"Good morning, Mr. McLean...... Do I need breakfast? ”

In the foyer, Maca was greeted by the early and hardworking Lena.

It stands to reason that at this point, even the sky is just getting dark outside, and most people are sleeping in bed! But she had already gotten up, took a handful of dust-dusting cloths, and devoted herself to cleaning the antechamber of the old mansion, where she couldn't see anything dirty.

"Don't worry, just follow the usual rhythm! I'll need to sort out my thoughts......" Maka said as she walked inside, "Oh, just come back to the reception room and call me when it's breakfast time." ”

"Okay."

In Lena's usual calm response, Maca's figure vanished from the deepest doorway in the antechamber.

To be honest, compared to Maca's busy life, Lena's life can really be called "light as water". After waking up every day, in addition to cleaning and cooking three meals, the most I can do is to take care of the children who are not very dependent on others.

Of course, there is one exception, and that is her sister, the little poltergeist Lenny.

After sweeping the antechamber and the hallways on the first floor, Lena put away the tools she needed to clean up.

She doesn't use spells, so she does almost everything with her own hands, and it can be seen that she seems to enjoy it.

And after cleaning up the utility room a little, Lena washed her hands, and planned to go upstairs to take down all the clothes that the children had changed out of the previous night and had not been washed.

Some of the older children wash themselves, but there are also a few younger ones who need her help. This is all done while doing the laundry for her sister, and Lena naturally takes the work into her own hands, and every day is like this, and it has almost become a habit for her.

But today, as she came out of the utility room and passed by the door of the reception room where Maca was, Lena suddenly stopped walking in the direction of the stairs.

Seeing her in the corridor at the door, she seemed to hesitate for a rare moment, and after a little thought, she took two steps forward, but then she turned back and walked back.

"Tuk-tuk."

Two reiner-like knocks rang out at the door, and Maka's questioning answer was quickly heard from inside the door.

"Please come in?"

She pushed open the door, only to step in and stop.

"Mr. McLean, my tired coat and boots are a little dirty, do you need me to wash them for you?" Lena asked softly, "Of course, if I disturb your thinking, let me apologize to you." ”

"Huh?"

Hearing her say this, Maca, who was crouching at the conference table with one hand on her notebook, subconsciously looked down at her clothes and shoes, and suddenly he saw some dust and stains on them.

He's been walking around London lately, and he's inevitably getting his clothes dirty in some dirty, damp laneways and other places, and now he really needs to wash it.

But for a qualified wizard, doing laundry or something is almost unnecessary.

All it takes is a spell or two, or a bottle of potions lotion, and any stubborn stains can be removed at your fingertips, and your clothes can be refreshed in the blink of an eye.

However, this is convenient, but occasionally it makes people feel as if something is missing.

Especially wizards like Maca, who were purely Muggle-born.

From the time they entered Hogwarts, the students' clothes were quietly cleaned by the house-elves while everyone was sleeping, and over time people often missed the special scent of soap mixed with the sun.

"It won't delay you too much, will it?"

"Of course not."

"Oh, then please go out first, I'll change it here for you......"

"Okay," said Lena as she saw that Maca began to pull out the clean clothes she was about to change into, "just change it out and put it on the chair next to her." ”

"Well, thank you."

Someone helped with the laundry, how many years had he not felt this feeling?

Seeing Lena nod and walk out of the reception room, closing the door for him by the way, Maca couldn't help but feel that it was a worthwhile decision to keep the sisters here.

However, Lena, who had just been waiting outside the door for a few seconds, was suddenly stunned.

“…… The potatoes should be about the same. ”

Originally, she should have gone upstairs to get her dirty clothes first, and then stopped by to turn off the fire when she came down. But the temporary idea of washing Maca's clothes today still disrupted her usual habits a little after all.

But not long after Lena turned back and walked towards the kitchen, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps on the stairs not far away, and someone came down.

"Lena? Lana...... Did you see where Lenny's favorite pair of pink socks was? Leni can't find it—"

With the sound of tom running, a petite figure rushed down the stairs, and there were also a pair of bare feet. And as she passed by the reception room, the closed door made her stop running.

"Why is the door closed? Is Sirius back? ”

Leni muttered to herself, unscrewing the doorknob without knocking, pushing open the door and entering.

"Ahh

"'Ahh

Maca just took off her pants and said angrily to Leni, who rushed in.

"Because you're undressing...... Take off your pants! Lenny pointed to the pants in Maca's hand and said confidently, "Mrs. Weasley said that if a girl encounters such a situation, she should scream!" ”

"Mrs. Weasley?"

Hearing Leni's words, Maca couldn't help but laugh.

He remembered when he met the werewolf sisters. Now that so much time has passed, who would have thought that this little girl would have changed so much?

Although, there are certain common sense aspects that Leni doesn't seem to have really figured out yet.

"Did Mrs. Weasley tell you not to run around the house in your pajamas?" Maca gestured at her puffy pajamas and said, "See, I'm wearing pants!" ”

In fact, Marca had already changed her clothes before Leni opened the door, and he was just tidying up the dirty clothes he had just changed.

And just as Leni was standing in the doorway with a "what's the matter with pants" expression on her face, another voice suddenly sounded from behind her, startling her.

"What's wrong? Early in the morning, there was a lot of noise...... Maca? How did you end up here? ”

But Lupin walked in from Leni sideways, and he was a little surprised when he saw Maka's figure.

"Wasn't it Homecoming Day at Hogwarts yesterday? You didn't go back last night? ”

"yes!"

When Maca saw Lupin ask, she nodded.

"Yesterday evening I made some new discoveries, and I met Helmpo again...... I'm actually wondering if I should go to Hogwarts this spring term or not. ”

"Did it?"

Lupindon asked, and Maca didn't hide it, and briefly told him about the situation.

“…… At that time, although the position was a little off, and there was still a high-altitude hand-to-hand, but there will always be people who will see it. I reckon Tonger's intel will be delivered in a moment. ”

After a little explanation, Maca turned to say:

"But that's not the most important thing, the point is that after that, I still couldn't find what I was looking for."

"Need Lenny's help? Leni is very good at finding things! ”

Leni, who was listening back and forth to the conversation between the two, suddenly interjected, but was rejected by Maca with a smile - the werewolf is good at tracking and searching, but he has not found it himself, and the smell and perception of the werewolf alone will definitely not work.

"In short, whether it's this new clue or some accident in the next two months, it will take a lot of time and energy. I'm wondering if it's time to leave for now......"

There was also a slight hesitation in Maca's own expression, and Lupin couldn't say anything.

You know, he had resigned when he left Hogwarts himself, and he didn't know whether to persuade Marka to go back or stay here to concentrate on Helpo's affairs.

"Hmmm......"

Suddenly, Maca counted the time and couldn't help muttering:

"In just over an hour, everyone should be up and ready to go to the auditorium for breakfast, right?"

Before you know it, life at Hogwarts seems to have suddenly become distant.
