"Have you heard? That annoying Flint family is really in trouble this time!"
"...What? No, no, no, it has nothing to do with that Herbo. This matter was entirely caused by their family... Guess what? Just because her youngest son said something for the punished servant, Mrs. Flint Put him in an underground cell with his servants!"
"Huh? You ask me how I know so clearly? Hey, listen to me! I tell you, as soon as the child was released this morning, he sneaked out of that home in the blink of an eye and spent the whole morning He was so surprised that he got to Hogwarts! Look, what has become of that family? It’s okay to have trouble with outsiders, but it can even be so cruel to its own children!"
"But having said that, I don't know how that kid found his way. He's not old enough to go to school yet! Let me tell you, there must be a story here - maybe the kid has already prepared for this day. long time… "
That's right, when Pansy and Draco took leave to go home and tried to get the latter's father Lucius to come forward to get Iluli back. Neither of them expected that the youngest son of the Flint family would actually run away to Hogwarts.
But what surprised Pansiton even more was what was yet to come.
According to Lucius who came down from upstairs, the Flint family didn't explain anything at first after they went to school. Several professors asked to no avail, they just kept saying that they wanted to find her. Miss Pansy Parkinson.
When everyone was at a loss for this stubborn child, McClain was finally called.
After he looked behind the crowd for a while, everyone saw that he took a female student with an incomprehensible expression to the child and told her without changing her face that it was Pansy Parkinson.
As a result, the child still believed it! Only then did the above words come out of his mouth.
As for how this matter came out of Hogwarts so quickly, no one knows... Some people think that this may be the same McLean who felt that the Flint family was too much, so he took the initiative to give him Spreading it is disgusting and disgusting to their whole family!
Of course, with such a scandal about the Flint family, only a few people have seen some of the truth hidden behind it.
Regardless of whether Maka saw it or not, at least Pansy guessed a little out of surprise.
"The reason why that child was able to escape to Hogwarts must have been under the guidance of Iluli! It was she who asked the child to go to me for help—"
In the small hall of the Malfoy family mansion, Pansy quickly reacted after hearing the latest news from Draco's father.
And then, she said with a worried look on her face:
"Speaking of which, Ilulie is locked up? Is she... okay? No, Draco, I think we need to go to Flint's house as soon as possible!"
"Don't worry!"
Before Draco could speak, his father Lucius shook his head and tapped his engraved silver snake-head cane on the floor.
"Miss Parkinson, you said before that McLean asked you to come to our Draco, right? Since their children have all gone to Hogwarts, huh... doesn't this mean that McLean has been given an opportunity to intervene? Reason?"
Having said this, Lucius rubbed the silver snake handle of his cane, smiled slightly and said:
"We can go, but there is no need to rush - this news was obviously spread by McClain, so his meaning is already clear! Maybe we go early and make him unhappy. Woolen cloth!"
Since Maka gave Pansy a word this time, allowing her to go to Draco for help in her own name, this would inevitably make Draco think too much.
In Draco's view, that Iluli might not be as simple as she appears. Not to mention anything else, at least for McClain, it may have some special effects.
As a result, this incidentally gave Lucius some unnecessary thoughts.
To be honest, Draco agreed to help Pansy because of Maka's words. So now, when both Malfoy and his son thought that Maka would personally take action this time, they naturally did not want to get involved prematurely.
After all, everyone in the British wizarding world now knows that once McClane appears in something, there is basically no room for others to intervene.
However, the father and son could wait, but Pansy really couldn't wait any longer!
"Mr. Malfoy, how about... we go to the area near Flint's house first, and we can also send a letter to the school to ask, so that we can at least take into account two different possibilities."
"Parkinson, my father said it, can't you just wait a little longer?" Draco frowned and said, "Now that MacLean can take action, are you still worried that your 'good friend' can't be saved?"
Perhaps because Maka's "big fact" has been in front of him for many years, Draco has become less prejudiced against Muggle-born wizards. But he still felt a little disdainful to someone like Iluli, who was a hybrid of a humanoid magical creature.
And this kind of discrimination is actually not a rare thing in the magical world. Fundamentally, it has nothing to do with strength or anything like that. The main reason is that many people feel that that type of wizard is simply a "heterogeneous creature" that is different from normal people.
Pansy was visibly angry at the slight sarcasm in Draco's tone.
However, she was not only angry about Draco's discrimination against her friends. When she thought about how she had had this idea in the past, she felt very sorry for Iluli, which also made her former self angry.
But she was still angry. After thinking about it, Pansy had the idea of going to Flint's house as soon as possible.
She still remembered that Iluli had helped her several times before, and even the current situation of being punished by the Flint family was ultimately because of her.
Thinking that Iluli might be tortured underground in the dark and gloomy Flint mansion, she wanted to just apparate there.
However, the Malfoy father and son in front of them were obviously unwilling to act in advance. And perhaps because neither of them wanted to take the initiative to contact Maka, they didn't even have the intention to send a letter to inquire.
"That-"
Knowing that if she went to the Flint family, she would only suffer a loss. After hesitating for a moment, Pansy simply said:
"Professor MacLean is still at school, right? Then I'll go back and ask for details first!"
Since neither Malfoy nor his son wanted to ask Maka, if she wanted to get a result quickly, she would have to go alone.
Although every time she faced Maka, she felt a little scared. Especially during the period after she was intimidated by Maka, she couldn't help but want to avoid him even if she encountered him from a distance in school.
But for some reason recently, she felt that Maka's attitude towards her was getting better, which made her secretly relieved.
On the other side, when the Malfoy father and son heard Pansy volunteering to go back to school to find MacLean, they couldn't help but glance at each other subconsciously.
"Well," Lucius blinked, with a subtle expression on his face, "But... Is that so? Yes, it's good for you to confirm what McClain means!"
Compared to his son Draco, Lucius was really afraid of Maka.
Thinking about how majestic Voldemort was in the British wizarding world at that time, just mentioning his name can make people frightened. However, even though his strength greatly increased after his resurrection, he stumbled one after another, and finally fell in the front courtyard of Hogwarts together with the first generation Dark Lord.
The direct cause of all this happening was Maka McClain, who was the same age as her son.
Compared with this, the fact that the Malfoy family has repeatedly received favors from each other is only a minor factor.
Seeing that Lucius quickly agreed to his decision, Pansy no longer hesitated. After she glanced at Draco, she immediately walked towards the door of the small hall, and not long after, she went to the front yard and apparated away.
…
Speaking of which, those conjectures of the Malfoys and his son were undoubtedly a misunderstanding. For Pansy's friend Iluli, what unspeakable intention could Maka have
However, the fact that the youngest son of the Flint family came to Hogwarts was indeed something he did not expect.
The afternoon break was now over, and all the little wizards were rushed to the classrooms by the professors of various subjects. Only Maka, the windbreaker wizard, and some students who were not scheduled for the first class in the afternoon stayed in the auditorium to accompany the child.
As for how to deal with the problems caused by this child, Maka has not decided yet.
In fact, Lucius only guessed that the news about Hogwarts was spread out because of someone who couldn't bear to see it, but that person was not Maka.
"... The Flint family should have suffered a little loss! That Marcus still wanted to take advantage of me back then. If my father hadn't been unwilling to cause trouble, huh!"
Charlotte kept talking beside Maka, saying that the Flint family had approached the Witte family to try to get a marriage contract, and even brought a magic breastplate made by goblins in the early years.
If her father hadn't objected, this engagement might have come true!
And Charlotte's muttering clearly resonated with the Flint child. Maka watched from the side and could only smile bitterly to herself.
As for Charlotte spreading the news, he could only let her go.
Therefore, when Pansy hurried back from the Malfoy Mansion and found her way to the Great Hall, she saw an inexplicably "idle and panic" scene.
At the long Slytherin table, Maka was flipping through a book while holding her cheek, while crossing her legs and humming a crooked tune she heard somewhere. Beside him, Charlotte and the Flint boy were murmuring together, seeming to be saying bad things about certain people to each other.
Further away from the three of them, several classmates actually gathered together to play wizard war chess, and the whole scene was harmonious.
"What, what's going on?"
