Before going to Parkinson's house, Nott had no idea that the real acquirer was Namaka McLean.Seriously, if he had known the real situation earlier, he would never consider crossing the middleman Vanessa.

However, just when Knott left Parkinson's house in a hurry, planning to give up some greedy ideas and go straight home to complete the deal with Vanessa, he actually ran into the person he least wanted to see in his own home.

"...Unexpectedly, this time converter turned out to be what you wanted, Mr. McLean."

As far as Maca's ability is concerned, Nott knows better than Mrs. Parkinson.So when he saw Maca, his first reaction was not to turn his head and run away, but to try his best to fool it.

You can't run away.

"Oh! Right...time converter..."

While talking, Knott suddenly turned his pockets and walked towards Maca.When Maca saw this, she also had some expectations.

For this time converter, too much trouble has been spent today. If this can be obtained, it will naturally be better.

But at this moment, there was a familiar wave of magical power that made Maca startled slightly.

"Mr. McLean, right here, you take it." Nott took out the time converter he had obtained from Walton from his pocket and handed it over to Maca's hand happily. "Of course. No need for a Jin Jialong, it's free!"

However, Nott soon saw Maca's frowning brows, which made him start to frighten.

"McLean... sir?" he couldn't help but ask cautiously, "what's the matter?"

But at the moment opposite him, Maca held the time converter in his palm with one hand, but gently shook his head and said:

"This was stolen from the Ministry of Magic, right?"

"Uh, no—"

When he heard Maca's questioning, the first thought that flashed through Knott's mind was to deny.But as soon as he thought that denial might be meaningless, he immediately stopped talking.

Then, listen to him honestly:

"Well...Yes, I took it from the Time Hall of the Department of Mysteries...Oh, but I didn't take it, it was—"

"who is it?"

Seeing that he stopped halfway through, Maca asked casually.

It can be seen that Knott seems to be a little hesitant—Walton is a rare friend in his life, and he has grown up since childhood, betraying friends, no matter who it is. Hesitant.

It's just... Obviously, that deep friendship with Walton in the past was completely wiped out by an oblivion spell cast by Azkaban long before he was imprisoned.

Although he had been very familiar with the other party before, but for the current Knott, Walton McNeill was just a slightly familiar stranger.

"Hmm..." After a short pause, he immediately said, "It's Walton McNeill, a staff member of the Department of Fantastic Beasts Control of the Ministry of Magic-he used to be a Death Eater."

"McNeill--" Maca thought for a while, and quickly said, "Oh, is that the execution officer of the Dangerous Animals Committee?"

To be honest, Maca's reaction when he heard these words was significantly different from what Nott imagined.

Nott originally thought that Maca would at least frown and be slightly surprised when he heard "Death Eaters".But in fact, he found that Maca seemed to have known such a Death Eater lurking in the Ministry of Magic, and did not show the slightest expression of surprise at all.

In fact, Maca did know the identity of this "Walton McNeill" as a Death Eater-not only that, he even said a few words to that guy in the early years!

"Mr. McLean, do you... know Walton?"

"Ok?"

Maca was still staring at the time converter in his hand, and heard it rather casually:

"Yes... there used to be a eagle-headed horse-winged beast that needed to be executed, and the execution officer was him."

Having said that, he suddenly plugged the time converter into Nott's hand again, smacked his lips, and turned into a little impatient:

"Get it back! This is fake."

"what!"

Knott only felt his hands sink slightly, and then he heard these words from Maca.Suddenly, he was dumbfounded and froze in place, and it took several seconds to react.

"This... how is it possible? I obviously..."

"Obviously I saw Walton take it with my own eyes in the time hall." ——He secretly added such a sentence in his heart.

Nott obviously dare not say this sentence, after all, in the Department of Mysteries, they had also ambushed Maca under the leadership of Voldemort.

But just because these "little guys" were inconspicuous at that time, Maca seems to have long been unable to remember who they were.Now if he dared to speak out, wouldn't it be that he wanted to die?

However, this does not prevent him from having a lot of confusion about the current situation-is this false?How is this possible?How could there be a fake time converter in the Ministry of Magic?

unless……

"... Guy Walton, he lied to me?"

"I'm afraid that's not the case." Maca shook his head. "In fact, I personally made this time converter with Transfiguration-I made five in total, and replaced the one in the Department of Mystery with them. Five really."

Having said this, he couldn't help rubbing his forehead a little boredly, then waved his hand:

"If you have any clues about the time converter, please tell me immediately if you think of it, understand? As long as you can find one that can be used, whether it is a reduction of Azkaban's sentence or more Jin Jialong, everything It's all easy to say."

"I'm leaving now... I'll send the owl to the Broken Cauldron Bar when I hear."

Before he could say anything, Maca walked straight to the door, and soon left from the sight of the three present.

Walking in the alley outside, Maca couldn't help but shook his head again-so much time had been wasted in such a trip, and he was so happy.

And more importantly, the clue that was finally found at the beginning was not only a dead end, but the wall of the dead end was actually built by himself in the past!

I have to say that after this time, Maca still gave birth to some uncontrollable irritability in her heart.

"Calm... Calm..." He paused, lowered his head slightly and muttered to himself, "Think about it, where else can I find the time converter? Who else..."

All in all, let's find Lucius first!Let Lucius ask all the pure-blood families as much as possible, while he himself goes to the Witt family in the underground black market.

With such a two-pronged approach, at least the efficiency will be much higher than that of him alone.

...

Just when Maca was going to find Lucius, it was in Malfoy Manor.

As London and Hogwarts are undoubtedly unstable right now, as Draco's parents, the hearts of the Malfoys are obviously half-hanging.

Fortunately, Draco also participated in the Hogwarts study tour program, which somewhat relieved the couple.

Seeing that London has become more and more dangerous in these two days, Lucius and his wife can only hide at home and dare not go anywhere.While secretly praying for their son to have a smooth journey, they seemed to have nothing else to ask for.

Yes, despite the right opportunity some time ago, the Malfoy family has returned to the sight of many families and ordinary wizards.But now, they have no intention of caring about those.

There is no doubt that compared to his own life, that little honor may not be a big deal.

However, even though they don't want to go out at all, things will come automatically.

"Boom boom boom——"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the mansion, causing the Malfoys who were sitting in the side hall nervously to quake slightly.

"At this time...who will be here?"

Lucius's face was a bit unnatural, and Narcissa's expression was no better than her husband's.Seeing that the house elf who was standing by and waiting was about to open the door, Lucius immediately said:

"Wait, don't go now."

"Yes, master."

The elf who took over from Dobby to serve the Malfoy family, although not as smart as Dobby, is obedience.Lucius told him not to go, he just bowed his head and stayed on the spot.

It's a pity that the one who knocked on the door at this moment has already run out of patience in his heart.
