Chapter 1255 The daughter is still a maid

When Vanessa, who was waiting at Nott's house, heard Maca's voice from behind, her expression was undoubtedly wonderful. Because not only did she not expect Maca to come back so soon, but she also didn't expect Maca to find her directly.

Why? He obviously wasn't careless at all, and he didn't even disclose the details of his whereabouts to his own daughter. But this McLean actually...

In this world, can the gap between two people really be so big?

The current weather has gradually entered the late spring, and the temperature has long been not as cold as it was in the past few months. But at this moment, Vanessa felt a chill even in the air she sucked into her lungs.

For a moment, she didn't even dare to look back.

McLean... sir? You—

Mrs. Parkinson.

While interrupting the other party's words, Maca didn't stare blankly at Vanessa's back. He just tilted his head slightly, and looked over the top of the opponent's head to the old streets and alleys outside the window.

The ivy on the opposite red brick wall grows very luxuriantly, under the afternoon sun, it looks like a pair of tender green palms holding the light. Just looking at it like this can make people's mood gradually relax.

Of course, by the way, it can also calm down the boredom and anger in his chest a little bit.

... Ma'am, he said calmly, I have to say, actually, I am not absolutely disgusted with some things that 'deceive' others. However, it is based on the premise that I can successfully deceive everyone. Do...understand?

As the saying goes, when no one knows what the truth is, what is false is true.

Having said that, Maka paused for a moment, then Maka shrugged and said:

But this time, your deception to me obviously failed.

When Vanessa heard this, her complexion changed slightly, and she couldn't help whispering:

I did not lie to you.

Look, Maca shook his head, Actually, you're not good at lying at all... Well, tell me! Who has the clue of the time-turner... Is it the owner of this family?

On the other side, Vanessa, who was sitting at the table with her back to Maca, couldn't help being silent for a while. After a while, she nodded accordingly.

Maca McLean's magical strength has exceeded her imagination. And in front of such a powerful wizard, no matter how persistently resisting, it would probably be meaningless, right?

Yes, she said softly after all, this is the home of Auston Knott... According to what I heard from the black market before, it is very likely that he knows about the time-turner...or even Possess one directly.

Not?

Maca suddenly felt that this surname sounded familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, he raised his eyebrows suddenly.

Oh, is it the Nott family, one of the twenty-eight families?

Well, Vanessa responded, and then said, I have asked before, although he does not have a time converter himself, but he does know who has it. About twenty minutes ago, he went to find .”

It's always good to have clues.

From the very beginning, Maca's purpose was to find a time-turner, and it didn't seem to be that important as to who got it from.

Are these the Galleons you promised to that Nott?

Under the silent gaze of the little girl Joy, Maca walked to the coffee table by the window, and then saw several stacks of gold coins stacked on it.

And perhaps because she found that Maca didn't pursue her fault too much, Vanessa finally breathed a sigh of relief. For Maca's casual question, she immediately replied:

No, it's only half... Knott asked for a double.

And you agreed? Maca casually glanced at Jin Gallon on the coffee table, and said meaningfully, Unexpectedly, you are quite 'generous'?

It was only a few dozen gold Galleons, even if it was doubled, it would still be less than a hundred Galleons. Just before this point, if you say more or less, you can buy at most five unicorn horn shells in the black market.

However, if it is only used as an intermediary fee for finding a time-turner, it is actually barely enough-well, of course this refers to the doubled situation.

For Maca's teasing, the current Vanessa didn't dare to argue at all, so she could only keep her mouth shut and acquiesce. To be honest, she has started to regret it now, how much better she would have told Nott directly if she had known about it earlier?

There is no doubt that McClain's favor is not so good!

On the other side, Maka, who was standing not far from Vanessa, felt a little bored when she saw that she had stopped talking. In addition, the matter of Luna and Delphi was still lingering in Maca's heart, so he couldn't help but sighed lightly, and turned his eyes to the world outside the window again.

But at this moment, Joey, who had been staring at him with his lips pursed since just now, seemed to finally be unable to bear it and said:

Sir...you...you can't just break into someone's house.

The expression that seemed to want to blame Maca, but did not dare to speak loudly because of fear of life, looked rather cute in the eyes of Maca who looked back.

If I have to say... Yes, that look actually looks a lot like when Ginny was a child, she always showed timidity when she saw outsiders.

Oh, Maca smiled, Indeed, I think you are right, I was a little rude.

Seeing that Maca admitted his mistake very decisively, Joey seemed a little shy instead. But when her cheeks were slightly flushed, she said very seriously:

The most important thing is that if you do this, you will be blamed by the head of the family... and the young master too.

Blame me? Maca continued with a smile, Oh, I didn't expect you to still be worried about me? It's okay, I don't think they will blame me, you can rest assured about that.

But before the words fell, Joey shook his head immediately, and said in a low voice:

No, they will blame me, I accidentally let you in... The head of the family is terrible when he is angry, and then, I have to do a lot of extra work to calm him down.

Ok?

Hearing this, Vanessa who was sitting aside finally gave Joey a strange look.

Aren't you Nott's daughter? Why does it sound like...but more like a servant?

And Vanessa's words made Maca frown.

daughter?

If Fanasha said it, Maka would never have thought that this little girl was actually the child of the owner of the family—is there such a family who raises her daughter as a servant?

But after thinking about it, Maca suddenly froze, and then said to Joey:

Wait—is the 'Master' you mentioned just now called 'Theodore'?

Yes, yes, Joey nodded as soon as he heard the name, The young master's name is Theodore, Theodore Nott... Sir, do you know our young master?

Is it really him?

Maca didn't answer Joey's question right away, because he was still thinking about Theodore right now.

In fact, this Theodore used to be his classmate, and he entered Hogwarts in the same class as him. It's just that after the other party was assigned to Slytherin, the two had almost no intersection.

He'd only heard occasionally, and the guy seemed to have a good relationship with Malfoy.

And because Maca and Theodore are not familiar, when he mentioned the Nott family earlier, he couldn't even remember this peer. It wasn't until Joey mentioned it again that he suddenly remembered that there was such a person.

But it has to be said that Theodore's brains are obviously quite good, so that Maca can't pay attention to him is enough to prove that the guy is a so-called smart person.

However, judging from what Joey said now, this smart guy... doesn't seem to be a good guy. You know, this is his sister!

As I recall, old Nott seemed to be a Death Eater?

Maca turned to look at Vanessa and asked this sentence. After all, Joey might not know about this kind of thing. After Vanessa heard it, she quickly gave an affirmative answer.

Yes, she said, he was a Death Eater and did a lot for Voldemort.

So it's still a fish that slipped through the net? Maca said thoughtfully, But then... he should have been in prison in Azkaban for more than ten years, right?

After thinking about it like this, he couldn't help but looked at Joey again, and then said:

You have lived with Theodore since you were a child?

And Amanda, Joey nodded slightly, and then added, But then, before the owner came back, Amanda left suddenly.

Old Knott's maid and lover or something? Actually Joey's biological mother?

Brain supplements come back to brain supplements, although the truth is very likely to be the case, but Maca can't conclude on this. But let's not mention anything else, at least after the immediate troubles are resolved, that old Nott will definitely be sent back to Azkaban.

Maca didn't ask any more questions, he just recorded this matter in his heart for the time being, and passed it on to Sirius or Kingsley later.

However, the main reason why he didn't continue to ask further questions was the magic wave that suddenly appeared outside the door of this house.

Crack.

With a light click of the latch, the door opened, and then a person walked in from the outside. When the other party saw that there was another person in the house, he was stunned.

Mai...McLean!

Well, Maca said calmly, looking at the figure at the door, Mr. Nott, welcome home—of course, if you can tell me that you have brought the Time Converter here, we might welcome it Be hotter!

Uh... Nott in front of the door came back to his senses after hearing this, and heard him hurriedly say, Oh! I didn't expect that this time switcher is what you wanted, Mr. McLean!
