"Headmaster, I was reported by a student this morning that Draco Malfoy was missing as well......"

In fact, when Snape suddenly appeared in the Great Hall and strode this way with his face strained, Maca had already roughly guessed what he was going to say.

Snape has been living a quiet life lately, and after being offered a position as a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts, his only thought now is probably to live a peaceful life with his sister Tia.

Truth be told, this won't be a perfect life for Snape. Because judging from the choices he made in the Greenwald incident, he probably wanted to see Harry's mother, Lily, and the kind that was life and death.

The reason why he had embarked on this path was only because he was unexpectedly blocked by Makana.

"Speaking of which, it seems like it's been a long time since I've seen the 'Great Hogwarts Bat'?"

Whether or not Snape's love for Lily had been slightly distorted by reality and time, at least he still had a firm and definite thought in the past, which made him stride forward.

And it was precisely because when he walked briskly, his robe would inevitably be puffed up by the air current, that many little wizards gave him the nickname "Big Bat" behind his back.

As Professor McGonagall put down her cutlery at Snape's words, Maca set aside her goblet full of juice and turned her head slightly to look over there.

"Don't worry, Professor Snape, Draco is here."

Maca's words, while reassuring the professors a little, began to look at what was going on.

Ens Taon had disappeared once, and now he had returned unharmed, but Snape had come to say that Draco Malfoy had disappeared again.

Coupled with the stone tablet that Maca brought back last night, even if Maca didn't explain much, it was difficult for everyone to think about things for the better.

"Rest assured, this matter is indeed a bit complicated, but I will find a way." Maca thought for a moment and said, "Professor Snape, please write a letter to the Malfoy family in a moment...... No, I think we'd better wait until we're all done with our classes, and then let's go for a walk together! ”

The Malfoys could only count on Draco's son now, after all, although Lucius had been saved from Azkaban by Maca, it was impossible for him to take on a family like he had done in the past.

It is said that now the Malfoy family is basically Narcissa, who is a wife and mother, and Lucius can only stay at home honestly as the head of the house, and the number of appearances may not be so many times a year.

Fortunately, with the Malfoy family's background, it will definitely not be a problem to survive until Draco graduates, and then it will depend on how Draco, the heir, will manage that family.

“…… Their family couldn't do without Draco's son. ”

After saying this, Maca picked up the juice again and took two large sips.

……

Malfoy Manor is located in Wiltshire, England.

It was a large mansion that was once a true Muggle lord's mansion in ancient times when wizards and Muggles were mixed.

Of course, the members of the Malfoy family in modern times will never admit this.

Speaking of which, it was once requisitioned by Voldemort and briefly became the home base of the Death Eaters. At that time, the manor was under a lot of spells, and it looked eerie, but there was also a dark beauty.

After that, Voldemort lost his life again at Hogwarts, Lucius was captured, Narcissa disappeared, and even Dobby, who managed the manor day and night, ran to the Hog's Head Bar, where he was in despair for a while.

But today, when Maca and Snape return to the house, they find that the manor seems to be coming to life again.

The garden in front of the mansion is manicured, and the delicate fountain sparkles in the sun.

Although there is no white peacock in the past, the butterflies flying and the birds chirping softly in the garden can be described as less luxurious and more natural.

In the middle of the garden, in the hallway, Maca felt more and more ...... as she walked through the surroundings I didn't make a quick choice at that time, and it should be the right one.

“…… I concocted potions to help him sleep at night, and I've continued to research the cause of his symptoms, but nothing has been done. ”

Beside Maca, Snape was telling the story of how he had been entrusted by Narcissa to treat Draco's nightmares.

Nightmares alone that make it difficult to sleep are not uncommon in St. Mungo, but Draco's case is unique.

"He was affected by a force that affected his body and mind, but where that power came from, I haven't started to check yet." "There's only one thing I know for sure – I'm afraid it's not going to be easy to solve. ”

Hearing this, Snape nodded slightly, and did not continue to ask anything.

Because he knows that maca is also the type of "he can take the initiative to tell you what he wants to say without asking, and he won't answer no matter how much he doesn't want to say it".

Snape had known Maca for so long that he had become accustomed to a temperament that was somewhat similar to his own.

The two walked down the aisle to the door of the mansion, and Snape knocked on it.

"Crackle!"

There was only a knock on the door, and with the faint explosion of an apparition from inside, the door was pushed open a little bit from inside.

"This is Malfoy Manor, may I ask ...... May I ask the two guests, why are they not ...... on the surface outside the main entrance?"

Half of the face peeking out of the door was a house-elf, and it wasn't Dobby. It seems that after Narcissa returned home, she went to get a new servant who was a housekeeper.

"Go and talk to your master, and say that Severus Snape and Marca McLean are visiting and want to talk to him about something."

"Uh...... Oh good...... Please wait here......"

It was evident that the new elf was not used to being visited, and even the wizard who ran into the garden without permission was hesitant.

Thinking about it this way, this Malfoy Manor has not welcomed guests for a while.

However, the house-elves didn't know what to do with Snape and Marca, and Lucius understood it perfectly.

After the elf crackled and disappeared in front of the eyes of the two of them, he directly appeared into the hall with the elf from somewhere, and even saved the time to walk over.

"Oh, Severus...... And Mr. McLean, why did you suddenly ...... the two of you" Lucius shoved his staff into the arms of the house-elf, and hurried up to the door, "The house is shabby, if you don't dislike it, please come in and let me do my best as a master......"

"If your manor is still shabby, then how can I, a homeless person, live?" Maca was not polite, and under the greeting of Lucius, he immediately walked inside, "Looking at you like this, your spirit seems to be good...... Isn't it a little more blessed than in the past? ”

As Maca had said, Lucius Malfoy still wore long white blonde hair, and his clothes were as beautiful and comfortable as ever.

In this man, there may occasionally be unavoidable depression or exaltation, but the pride that comes from pure blood has been rooted in life habits since childhood. In this regard, the two generations of Malfoy's parents are almost the same.

"Haha, Mr. McLean, you're kidding......"

As for Maca's current reputation, even if he Lucius Malfoy had not received his favor, he had to be treated with care. Not to mention, he can still stand here now, completely thanks to the blessing of Maka.

While Maca was gossiping with Lucius, trying to set the stage for the serious topic to come, Snape moved closer.

"Lucius, is Narcissa home today?"

Speaking of which, the three of them are also old classmates, although the time is not long, but the friendship is not so shallow. Otherwise, with Snape's character, even if Tia was persuaded at the time, he probably wouldn't have agreed to help.

Now, Draco had a problem while attending Hogwarts, and it was only natural that his "old friend" who had taken over the treatment request would have some sense of responsibility.

"Narcissa?"

Lucius saw that Snape's expression seemed to be inappropriate, and he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

Now that the Malfoy family is doing its best to keep things running, how difficult is it compared to the past? To be honest, this family can't withstand too much wind and waves in a short period of time.

But once Snape's subtle expression appeared with Maca, would it still be a trivial matter?

"She's been to McMillan's house today, and she'll probably be back after lunch there......" Lucius replied with some trepidation, slowing his pace, "what's wrong?" What's ......?"

Snape nodded, "McKellen and I have something to talk to you about, and I think it would be best if Narcissa was there." ”

His words are actually affirming Lucius's "bad" guess. As for what was bad, the Malfoys needed to listen to it together...... Lucius's heart sank suddenly.

"Don't be overly nervous, relax—"

Seeing this, Maca had to continue to play the role of appeasement, otherwise what was the point of him coming over this time?

"If Madame is not there, you can tell her later...... Anyway, let's sit down and have a drink! Don't think about the bad things, I still have a lot of things to do! ”

When Lucius heard this, he could only suppress the cranky thoughts in his heart and continue to walk forward with Maca and Snape.

Then, the group of three people, together with the house-elf who followed behind, walked through the main hall and climbed the stairs to a luxurious living room on the second floor.
