Chapter 799: The So-Called "Respect"
Because there was such an incident yesterday, Maca really didn't remember Charlotte's incident for a while.
After all, for Maca herself, and for Hogwarts as a whole, it was obviously much more important for Helmo's remnant to infiltrate the campus and possess Harry.
It wasn't until he was busy sorting out some information in the office in the evening that he relived the process of the Werther family coming to ask for someone in his mind.
For Charlotte, Maca would definitely not let those so-called "family members" take her away, because he knew very well that this senior sister had long since lost much affection for her family.
If there is anything else in that mansion that is worthy of her nostalgia, it is probably her father?
At least, no matter what, the fiancé that Maca has never met will definitely not be a reason for her to go home and accept her fate.
Therefore, as Maca, who has been cared for by Charlotte after entering the school, this time she intends to be a good person to the end. No matter what, he also brought out the person at the beginning, and now that he has the confidence, it is even more unreasonable to turn a blind eye to the difficulties of this senior sister.
However, what Maca didn't expect was that Charlotte's titular fiancé would come so quickly!
"Doesn't seem right?"
Maca stood by the window of her office, her gaze fixed on the direction of the school gate, and the more "guests" than yesterday made him frown and think secretly.
The one who can marry the Werther family is definitely not an ordinary family. Judging from some of what Maca heard when she tried to take Charlotte away, the other party's background was at least comparable to Charlotte's family.
And it is such a force that should not be underestimated, when it was just lost its marriage contract, it did not make a fuss, but now it shows an eagerness that seems to be unable to wait even one night. The reason for this is that it is difficult for Maca to care or not.
"The one standing in front should be Charlotte's fiancé?"
He watched the situation from afar, and from here, he could only see a rough idea without magic.
"Professor Flitwick, did they say anything today?"
"Well, I didn't actually say much," Flitwick, the little man standing behind Maca, said sharply, "that young master of the Augustinian family just said that he wanted to see Miss Werther, and he wouldn't go back if he didn't see him......"
"Augustine?"
Maca recalls for a moment, and soon flipped through some miscellaneous reading memories to find a little information about the family.
The modern information of such ancient wizard families is almost zero, and if you want to guess what kind of family they are, you have to find it from some ancient records.
This must be very difficult for ordinary wizards today, but for Maca, who used to look through many borrowed ancient books in Royna's secret room, there are not so many obstacles.
"Oh," he said quickly, "is that the descendant of Aurelius Augustine, who used 'theology' to fool Muggles?" ”
It is different from the typical way of the ancient wizards of the Werther family, who "thrived on magical achievements";
The Augustinians relied on "philosophical" and "aesthetic" ideas to Muggles, and incidentally used "theology" to bring Muggles closer to him.
In terms of the results of accumulating a family foundation, it is clear that Aurelius Augustine's approach was successful.
It's a pity that the changes of the times will always make many situations change unpredictably. For families like Augustine, what they fear most is the complete separation of wizards and Muggles, so ......
Maca pondered the situation she had speculated on for a moment, and suddenly felt that she had captured something.
Could it be ...... Did the Augustinians intend to rely on the Witt family for marriage?
It is conceivable that a once glorious family, although it had to suffer huge losses under the general trend, was unwilling to disclose the growing emptiness within it out of the glory of the past.
Whether wizards or Muggles, there have been countless forces throughout history that have had this tendency to "deceive themselves". Even some families are unwilling to admit their own weakness, and they are still struggling to maintain the "superficial scenery" before the overthrow.
Thinking of this, Maca couldn't help but nod slightly—the probability of her guess was not low.
However, although Maca's conjecture was accurate enough, due to the lack of some crucial information, his inference still deviated from the truth behind the matter.
"Professor, where is Charlotte now?"
Looking at Professor McGonagall, who was dealing with the "visitors" at the school gate, Maca asked again.
"Oh, Minerva said she was a little late at the pig's head bar yesterday, and she was probably still sleeping in her room, right?"
When Maca heard this, she immediately bowed her head in understanding, "In this case, Professor McGonagall probably didn't have time to tell her this...... Well, anyway, I'll go see her first! Professor Flitwick, please go tell Professor McGonagall, and I'll be there with Sister Charlotte in a moment. ”
"Ah, okay."
Watching Flitwick leave the office in a hurry, Maca glanced back out the window - the weather was still not very good, and it was just morning, and the dense clouds had completely blocked the sunlight from the sky.
……
"Tuk-tuk."
Hogwarts is a school of witchcraft and wizardry, with a small number of students and staff. If you want to say that there are the most in this school, I'm afraid it is the empty rooms that those house-elves clean every day, but most of them can't be used.
Miss Charlotte Witt, who had escaped from the family, lived in an empty room that was intended to be used as a professor's office.
Speaking of which, it seems like Maca hasn't been here since Charlotte returned to Hogwarts.
After knocking on the door several times in a row, he finally heard some movement inside. It's just that, maybe it's because it's a school, so the beautiful woman who is always swaggering is still very careful.
When the door was opened, Maca saw a well-dressed Miss Werther, not the pajamas-style version of Charlotte she had seen in the Muggle apartment.
It's a pity that those pair of worried eyes still can't deceive Maca - this big beauty, Shicai is obviously still sleeping in bed!
"Maca?"
Charlotte blinked her eyes, which were still a little sour, and sent a puzzled look.
It's Sunday, and the slow-paced life of the weekend has made Charlotte accustomed to sleeping a little more on the last morning of the week to soothe her skin that has become a little dry from working every day.
Women should take good care of their appearance, especially beautiful women, who will naturally be more vigilant in the face of future aging.
But she also knew that Maca seemed to be busy every day. In addition to eating, lecturing, and sleeping, there are many other things to do, and this is the first time I have come to my room early in the morning!
"Well, good morning!" Maca shrugged her shoulders and said, "I heard that I came back a little late yesterday, so I'm still catching up on sleep at this time?" ”
"Oh, so to speak......" Charlotte nodded, "What's the matter, junior brother?" You're a busy person, how do you have the time to hang out with your sister? Something must be going on, right? ”
Hearing this, Maca smiled habitually. He's still like this, and she always feels light and energetic when she speaks, as if there is no need to worry about anything in this world.
Although he and Luna are completely different types, these two completely different personalities can make people feel a kind of similarity.
To be honest, Maca really didn't want to mess up this rare relaxed atmosphere with all the outside.
"It's a bit of a thing," he said, shaking his head, "but it's a little bit inappropriate to stand in the doorway...... Don't mind if I go in and talk to you, do you? ”
"Oh, of course it's fine," Charlotte said with a laugh, "then please come in!" Hey, there's nothing unsightly in my sister's room! ”
Seeing Charlotte take a half-step back and move out of the way, Maca pouted noncommittally as she walked in unceremoniously.
"Huh?"
As soon as she entered the room, Maca felt a strong sense of déjà vu.
The tightly drawn curtains, the rudimentary furniture, and an antique oil lamp, except that there was not much moisture and no cracks in the walls, it was exactly like the old apartment where Charlotte lived at the time.
"Uh, senior sister, are you doing this out of nostalgia?" Maca asked, surprised.
"Hmph, can't you?"
Charlotte said, her hand raised, but then she just patted Maca on the shoulder.
"Sit down! At least now there are two chairs and the bed in the back room...... Well, in the mood for something to drink? Although I only have boiled water here. ”
Don't slap you on the back anymore...... It's okay, in this way, you can have fewer scruples when dealing with today's things.
"No, don't be busy," Maka sighed, sitting down on the round stool at the table, "and sit down too!" In order not to let Professor McGonagall waste too much time, I will not speak slowly......"
Seeing that Maca's expression suddenly became more serious, Charlotte also keenly smelled some of the meaning. Although she still doesn't know what happened, it will eventually be related to herself, but she didn't run away.
"Say it!"
She sat down on the other side of the small wooden table, choosing to listen rather than ask.
"That's right," Maka picked out her words before she spoke, "Yesterday morning, someone came to your house, saying that he wanted to bring you back to the family. ”
"Their reason is the engagement in the past."
No matter how long Maca can stretch his hand, he will be careful not to be too arrogant when it comes to his friends' personal matters.
Therefore, even if he clearly knew Charlotte's decision, he had to give the other party the right to choose first. Otherwise, he would be sorry for Charlotte's pat that didn't fall on his vest.
"And today," continued Maca, "is now, to be exact—Augustine has arrived." ”
