Chapter 1192 Meeting Norman Witter
"Sirius, I will leave these two to you for the time being... But you also have tasks on your side. If you can't spare them, I suggest that someone send them to Lupine's side. In short, I have already controlled them. , nothing should happen."
"Well, okay, I know what to do."
In Diagon Alley, Maca was talking with Sirius, and by the way, they were discussing some next countermeasures.
In fact, not only Sirius, Maca himself still has a lot of things to do, especially he must go back to Hogwarts as soon as possible to see how Harry's situation is.
And when Maca and Sirius were discussing, Hermione and the four of them also went to Tonks's side, solemnly apologizing for cheating on her and for not saying goodbye before.
However, with Tonks' temper, how could he easily blame them? Not long after, the relationship between several young people of similar ages became much closer.
Tonks was even secretly thinking about whether he and Lupine should have more couples of best man and bridesmaids when he and Lupin get married, and bring all these lovely juniors and girls with them.
However, it was obviously not the time to relax - especially as they didn't know at the moment that Ron and Ginny's family members were actually safe.
"Okay, Sirius and I have finished talking... Is it okay for your side?"
After a while, Maca came over from the other side of the street and greeted the four of them:
"If there is nothing very important, I think we can go on! If we can find Fred and George in St. Mungo, maybe you still have time to visit Neville's parents and grandma —Believe me, he will be delighted by your presence."
"Oh, of course!" Hermione said immediately, "That's what we planned too."
"Well," Maca nodded, then beckoned, "Then let's go! I hope they—"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly turned his head and looked towards the courtyard wall of the Leaky Cauldron. Then, a familiar figure quickly walked in from there.
"Kingsley?"
"Oh, Maca, you really have come here..."
But Kingsley, who was walking into Diagon Alley quickly, saw Maca, took off his hat, wiped sweat on his bald head, and let out a sigh of relief.
Since there is no way to Apparate in London at the moment, he is really tired and flustered from rushing back from Hogwarts as soon as possible.
"It seems that you already know what I want to say," Kingsley immediately walked over and said without taking a break, "Then look, we should take those black people that suddenly popped up in London. What about the wizard?"
"Uh," Maca heard the words, and casually pointed to the two Haierbo apprentices who were still in the corner by him, "What should I do, you can ask them first... When I came here just now, I Caught a few."
Just as he was speaking, he suddenly glanced at the young witch who had been standing silently by the side, and motioned:
"As for that one... Although it may not have any direct connection with Haierbo, her sister is also the so-called 'apprentice' just like the two of them. I met her sister on the corner of the street in front of the Leaky Cauldron Bar Well, depending on the situation at the time, her sister might have planned to attack Diagon Alley again at that time.
"
"Oh?" Kingsley nodded immediately, "Where's that person?"
But hearing him ask such a question, Maca could only shrug.
"Before I temporarily handed her over to my spiders to take her away and guard them. Now... I think you know the habits of spiders. They always like to go to those corners where no one goes."
"Alright then!" Kingsley also spread his hands, then turned to Sirius and said, "It's hard work here, you continue to guard, and I will be responsible for taking these people away. In addition, after a while Lupine Someone will be arranged to replace you, and then you can take a little rest..."
Seeing that Kingsley had already discussed the follow-up work with Sirius, Maca had nothing to say, so after saying hello to them again, he took Hermione and the others to the Leaky Cauldron. go.
After they came to the streets of London again, they could see that the fog in the city was still so thick. Looking around, it seems that the whole world has once again returned to chaos.
To be honest, even though this misty mist doesn't seem to cause any harm physically, it will make people feel very uncomfortable psychologically.
Fortunately, Hermione and the others had joined Maca at this moment, and they had a reassuring support, and everyone felt a lot more relaxed unconsciously.
Not to mention, the good news that Harry might have come out of the Room of Requirement really cheered them up a lot.
St. Mungo's is not far from here, and within a short time, the few people have already walked half of the way.
"Well?"
Suddenly, Luna seemed to hear some strange voice again, and tilted her head in doubt. She turned her head sideways and looked around, as if she was very confused by the indistinct sound.
She remembered that in the black market, she had heard a similar voice... So what was it?
"What's wrong?"
Maca quickly noticed Luna's slightly strange appearance, and immediately turned to ask.
"Well, it's nothing," Luna pursed her lips, pondering, "I just seem to hear something?"
As soon as he said this, Maca suddenly followed suit, and then looked up to the other side of the street. His bright and deep eyes seemed to penetrate the endless fog and reach the end of the road.
And at the next moment, a slight movement came from a distance, this time even Hermione and the others heard it. And I have to say, this voice is especially familiar to them.
"It's a carriage!" Ron said suddenly, "It's absolutely right, that's the sound of a carriage again!"
After finishing speaking, Maca and the four of them stopped their progress at the same time, and stood by the side of the road and waited for a while. Immediately afterwards, he saw two flying horses dragging a black carriage, kicking and galloping across the street.
The carriage was driving very fast, but even so, the emblem on the carriage door was still clearly recognizable - the narrow blue eyes made it difficult for people to ignore it after seeing it once.
"It seems... are you going in the direction of the black market?" Hermione thought for a while and hesitated.
"It should be true," Maca nodded, "I hope that the old Patriarch of the Werther family is summoning them back, otherwise, I think the Werther family may be in a bad situation this time."
"What do you mean?" Hermione asked immediately.
Maca watched the carriage passing by, and explained casually:
"The Witte family was controlled by Hai Erbo last time...Of course, he actually had other plans. After realizing that this family was no longer needed, he decisively abandoned the Witte family and left."
"Ah!" Hermione couldn't help but said in a daze after hearing this, "That is to say, the reason why those wizards kept their hands... Maybe it was because Haierbo tried to control them to do things for him this time, but they had already Are you no longer willing to cooperate?"
Maca listened to Hermione's speculation, and finally pouted and said:
"In short, this is just my guess at the moment... You have to understand that the Witt family is a family with ancient wizard inheritance after all, and no one knows whether they still have some real strength and background hidden. Therefore, everything Conjectures are still just conjectures, as for the actual situation, we will have to wait for further in-depth understanding before we can know.”
As he was talking, Hermione suddenly seemed to think of something, and couldn't help asking in a low voice:
"As I remember, Charlotte's surname is 'White', right? The White family, could it be that—"
"Well, it's Charlotte's family," Maca replied without hiding anything, "Of course, Charlotte has already left her family... I believe that no matter what happens to the Werther family in the end, she They don't think too much about it. Only her father who doesn't want to leave the family..."
Just as Maca shook her head, she didn't say any more, but waved her hand and prepared to take them to St. Mungo's. But at this moment, everyone suddenly stopped the steps they had just taken.
"Huh?" Ron looked back in amazement, "Again?"
It turned out that everyone heard the sound of the carriage driving suddenly stopped behind them, and then turned around and drove back to them just like in the black market before!
Maca also turned around when she heard the sound, and pulled Hermione and Luna behind her, frowning slightly.
The carriage went fast and came back just as fast. Not long after, everyone saw the two flying horses snorting and "cracking" their hooves on the side of the road, letting the carriage stop firmly. in front of them.
Immediately afterwards, the door of the carriage was quickly pushed open from the inside, and a not-so-familiar figure of Maca leaned out of the carriage halfway at that time.
"Mr. McLean... Well, if my brain hasn't become less and less useful with age. You should be Charlotte's classmate, the Maca McLean back then, right? ?”
Unexpectedly, Maca had just mentioned this man to Hermione, and at this moment the other party had already appeared in front of her eyes. There is no doubt that this is Charlotte's father, Mr. Norman Waite.
But for some reason, the other party was obviously vigilant about everything around him, he didn't even get out of the carriage, he just leaned out and carefully looked left and right.
Of course, no matter which direction he looked, he could only see a gray scene at the moment.
"I think my husband's memory is still very good." Maca didn't move, but just stood there and said, "I'm the same Maca McLean back then... It seems that what's the matter with me, sir?"
