Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

"...Ms. McGonagall, I think I have to remind you that Charlotte Werther is a member of our Werther family. Now we are going to take her back, and hope you call her out as soon as possible... Otherwise, we have reasons I think our younger generation has been detained and imprisoned by your Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!"

At the moment, standing at the school gate and talking to Professor McGonagall, it was actually the old housekeeper Maca met when he went to the Witt family mansion.

The old man was the same as it was then, his gray hair was neatly combed, and the wizard robes on his body were not stained, so he looked like a steady and extraordinary old wizard.

And just like his sonorous and powerful voice, he also showed an aggressive posture all the time for the action to come to Hogwarts this time.

It seems to him that Charlotte is a junior in the family, he is going to make a decision today.

But from Professor McGonagall’s point of view, the Werther family’s behavior is rather unreasonable.

Although Maca didn't explain it in detail when Charlotte arrived, the time McGonagall and Charlotte worked together was not too short.For things like "Why did Charlotte give up the advantage of the family and willingly run back to school to serve as an insignificant assistant to the professor", anyone with a bit of a brain must be able to figure out why.

"Mr. Witt," McGonagall was not annoyed when she heard that the other party accused Charlotte of the school's imprisonment. She just retorted with a calm face, "As the current principal of Hogwarts, I admit Miss Charlotte Witt I did serve in our school..."

At first, she told this fact seriously, but then she changed the conversation.

"But I'm sorry," McGonagall said indifferently. "Our school has never established any long-term employment relationship with Miss Witt. She only held the temporary position of'Professor Assistant' in our school. Today, I am correcting the value. On the rest day, Miss Witt did not come to work at the school."

"Huh, you said you weren't there! Why don't I believe it—"

Behind the old housekeeper, a younger member of the Werther family seemed to have a temper, and suddenly asked aloud.

But before he could continue, he saw the old butler glanced sharply at him, causing him to close his stinky mouth immediately, listening to his spine standing straight.

In the Werther family, butlers have never belonged to servants, because every generation of butlers also has the "Werther" surname brought out from the womb.

The term "housekeeper" is not so much a family position as it is a very representative family position.

"I heard Ms. McGonagall say that, it means that my lady is not in the castle anymore?" The old butler stared at McGonagall's eyes with a slightly gloomy expression. "Since this is the case, please tell me where the lady is? If we If you can find someone, you won’t bother your school like this again."

The old man spoke with a high-sounding voice, and even faintly hinted at "both sides take a step back".This actually shows that they didn't come to make trouble on purpose today, but really wanted to take Charlotte home.

However, Professor McGonagall knew to some extent that the "Miss Witt" probably would not want to return to the family.

"Unfortunately, although I also want to give you an answer, I don't know the answer to this question." McGonagall said with a calm expression. "Our school and Miss Witt are just a very ordinary temporary employment relationship. As for her personal Activities are not within the scope of our interference... I hope you can understand."

"No, I don't think I can'understand'."

The old man's words are still the same as before, and there is a feeling of uncompromising without gains.But for some reasons that the owner of the family had urged, he did not show excessive toughness.

"My lady works in your school, even if it is only temporary, your school should take the corresponding responsibility. Now she has neither returned home, but is'not' in' your school... Then can I think,

At this point, the old butler paused for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "...If this is the case, I think I have to go to the Ministry of Magic and formally make a search request."

What he meant was very clear, that is, if Professor McGonagall didn't give anything useful, he would let the Ministry of Magic intervene.At that time, the search of Hogwarts Castle will be imperative, and it is justified.

After all, Charlotte is a member of the Werther family, which is indeed a fact that cannot be changed.

Now that the family wants her to go back, it's one thing she doesn't want to, but if outsiders like Professor McGonagall try to stop her overtly and secretly, it won't matter.

In fact, McGonagall really didn't have a good way to deal with the words of the old housekeeper of the Witt family.

As Professor McGonagall pursed his mouth and didn't know how to speak, a figure walked from the direction of the castle, and it had already come to her in a moment.

"Butler Barnes...The wind has been really strong recently, has it brought you here inadvertently?"

At the moment, only Maca can appear here.However, even though he was standing among the 30 or so people on both sides, he seemed to be completely unable to feel the tension in the atmosphere, tilting his head and looking frivolous.

"Maca McLean."

When the old butler saw him appear, although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, he was still a little upset.After Shen Xin sorted out his thoughts, he frowned and looked at Maca.

"I think that with your current status, there is no need to pretend this inexplicable gesture, right? You and I can't know it better-you are not a descendant of the Diher family at all, are you? ?"

However, Maca's expression was not restrained by the old man's words. In his eyes, the contempt became more and more intense.

"Well, maybe that day, my performance in front of you was indeed a bit too'exaggerated'."

When Maca said that word, he hooked his hands and put quotation marks.But in a blink of an eye, he suddenly put away that silly expression and straightened his head that was still crooked just now.

"But," he said calmly again, "how do you know that I am really not the'Maca Diher' that I used to be?"

When he said this, Barno, the old butler, was about to speak, but saw Maca quickly waved his hand.

"Don't think that you have investigated my life experience, I don't know," he twitched his mouth, meaningfully, "I want to figure out who I am, huh, I advise you not to waste your thoughts--"

After a self-deprecating smile, Maca asked bluntly:

"Let's talk about it! Why did you suddenly come to ask for Charlotte?"

In the past, Maca used a "magic stone" that had been destroyed long ago to perfectly bluff the Witt family's huge family, and now they can finally be regarded as aftertaste.

But even if I understand that Maca was mostly bluffing, it is hard to find a place now.

After all, no matter how you say it, Maca is now also a wizard with a face in the magic world around the world, with a lot of strength, background, reputation, and relationships.

What's more, the "deal" about the Sorcerer's Stone is not something that can be stated clearly.

Therefore, before this instructed action, the old Patriarch of the Witt family had already instructed Old Barno to say that he could keep the situation within an acceptable range as much as possible without making a big trouble with Hogwarts.

As for the way to deal with Maca, the old Patriarch only said one thing-don't do anything with him!

Seeing Maca asking about the reason for the important person, Butler Barnes was relieved secretly.Because he came to Hogwarts this time, really only had the purpose of "bringing Charlotte back".

It would be great if Maca could take the initiative to join in this.

"What else can happen," the old butler pretended to sigh, "Perhaps you remember that my lady was already engaged. Just a few days ago, her betrothal came to my Witt family in person. Insist that the lady fulfill the promise to marry him."

"Don't you mean to say..." Maca said with a vacant eye, "You can't help it?"

"This... my lady was engaged to him, if it wasn't for you..."

Before Maca appeared, the old man had done enough to make a strong statement, but now facing Maca, he has put on the appearance of knowing affection and moving reason.

Although he didn't finish his words, he already knew what he wanted to convey.

To be honest, this old housekeeper is actually quite low-profile. Thinking about it, besides the old house owner, who else can make him communicate so well?

Unfortunately, for Maca, Charlotte is definitely impossible to hand over.At the beginning, when his strength was still not enough, he could take the senior sister out of the dark Witt family, now he might compromise?

"Butler Barnes," Maca shook his head with a chuckle, "I don't say anything unpleasant because you are still polite today. Go back and tell the old Patriarch Witt, if it's you If you can't refuse, just ask Charlotte's marriage contractor to come to me directly!"

As he said, he waved his hand again.

"I will give him and Charlotte a chance to talk face-to-face-if Charlotte can go with him on her own terms, then I will not hinder it."

The Werther family does not want to make a big mess, and Maca will naturally not take the initiative to provoke.It is not a matter of courage and persistence to be openly hostile to an ancient wizard family when it is not a last resort, but it is outright reckless.

"Of course, if Charlotte doesn't want to go..."

Maca also didn't finish speaking, but after expressing his attitude, he spread his hand forward and signaled that the old man could go back and find their Patriarch.

The old butler stared at Maca a few more times, and finally nodded.

"I will convey your meaning to the Patriarch."
