"Sirius, these two people will be left to you for the time being... But you also have tasks here. If you can't spare them, I suggest someone send them to Lupine. In short, I have them under control. Nothing should happen."
"Yeah, okay, I know what to do."
In Diagon Alley, Maka was having a conversation with Sirius, and they were discussing some of the next countermeasures.
In fact, not only Sirius, but Maka himself also 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.
While Maka and Sirius were discussing, Hermione and the four of them also went to Tonks' side and solemnly apologized for tricking her and for leaving without saying goodbye.
However, with Tonks' temper, how could she easily blame them? Before long, the relationship between several young people of similar age became much closer.
Tonks was even secretly thinking about whether she should have a few more pairs of groomsmen and bridesmaids when she and Lupine got married, and bring all these lovely juniors and juniors with them.
However, it was obviously not the time to relax yet - especially since they didn't know yet that Ron and Ginny's families were actually safe.
"Okay, Sirius and I have finished talking... Is it okay with you too?"
After a while, Maka came over from the other side of the street and greeted the four of them:
"If there's nothing very important, I think we can keep going! If we can find Fred and George in St. Mungo's, maybe you still have time to visit Neville's parents and grandma —Believe me, he will be happy for your appearance."
"Oh, of course!" Hermione said immediately, "That's what we planned too."
"Well," Maka nodded, then waved, "Let's go then! I hope they-"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly turned his head and looked towards the courtyard wall of the Leaky Cauldron. And then, a familiar figure quickly walked in from there.
"Kingsley?"
"Oh, Maka, you are indeed here..."
But Kingsley, who was walking quickly into Diagon Alley, saw Maka. Then he took off his hat, wiped the sweat on his bald head, and let out a sigh of relief.
Since there was currently no way to apparate in London, he was really exhausted from rushing back from Hogwarts as soon as possible.
"It seems that you already know what I want to say." Without taking a moment to rest, Kingsley immediately came over and said, "Then look, we should take action against those black people who suddenly appeared in London. What about the wizard?”
"Well," Maka heard this and pointed to the two Haierbo apprentices who were still in the corner, "What should I do? You can ask them first... I caught them when I came here just now. A few lived there.”
As he was speaking, he suddenly glanced at the young witch who had been standing silently aside, and gestured:
"As for that one... Although she may not have any direct connection with Haierbo, her sister is the same as those two people, and she is also the so-called 'apprentice'. I met her sister on the street corner in front of the Leaky Cauldron, Judging from the situation at the time, her sister might have planned to attack Diagon Alley again at that time.”
"Oh?" Kingsley nodded immediately and said, "Where is that person?"
But when he asked, Maka could only shrug.
"Before, I temporarily handed her over to my spiders to take her away and guard her. Now... I think you know the habits of spiders. They always like to crawl into corners where no one goes."
"Okay then!" Kingsley also spread his hands, then turned and said to Sirius, "It's up to you to continue guarding here. I will be responsible for taking these people away. In addition, Lupin will take care of him after a while. Someone will be arranged to take over for you, and then you can have a little rest..."
Seeing that Kingsley had already discussed the follow-up work with Sirius, Maka had nothing to say, so after saying hello to them again, she took Hermione and others to the Leaky Cauldron. go.
When 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 as if the whole world has returned to chaos again.
To be honest, even though this mist does not seem to cause any physical damage, it can make people feel very uncomfortable psychologically.
Fortunately, Hermione and the others had joined Maka at this moment, and with a reassuring support, everyone felt a lot more relaxed without even realizing it.
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 away from here, and in a short time, several people have already walked halfway.
"Well?"
Suddenly, Luna seemed to hear some strange noise again, and tilted her head in confusion. She tilted her head and looked around, as if she was confused by the vague sound.
She remembered that she had heard a similar sound in the black market... So what was it
"What's wrong?"
Maka soon noticed Luna's slightly strange look, and immediately turned her head and asked.
"Well, it's nothing," Luna pursed her lips and thought about it, "It just seems like... I heard something?"
As soon as he said this, Maka suddenly followed suit for a moment, then raised his head and looked towards the other end of the street. His bright and deep eyes seemed to penetrate the endless fog and reach the end of the road.
And the next moment, a slight movement suddenly came from a distance, but this time even Hermione and the others heard it. And I have to say that this voice felt particularly familiar to them.
"It's a carriage!" Ron suddenly said, "That's absolutely right, that's the sound of a carriage again!"
As soon as the words fell, Maka and the four of them stopped moving forward at the same time, stood on the side of the road and waited for a while. Then, as expected, two pegasus were seen dragging a black carriage carriage, galloping past the street.
The carriage was moving very fast, but even so, the emblem on the carriage door was still clearly legible—the narrow blue eyes made it difficult for people to ignore it after seeing it once.
"It looks like... heading towards the black market?" Hermione thought for a while and said hesitantly.
"That should be true," Maka nodded, "I hope the old head of the Witte family is calling them back, otherwise, I think the Witte family may be in bad shape this time."
"What do you mean?" Hermione asked immediately.
Maka explained casually while watching the carriage pass by in a hurry:
"The Witte family was controlled by Haierbo last time... Of course, he actually had other intentions. After discovering that the family was no longer needed, he decisively abandoned the Witte family and left."
"Ah!" After hearing this, Hermione couldn't help but said in a daze, "This means that the reason why those wizards held back before... maybe it was because Haierbo tried to control them to do things for him again this time, but they no longer Are you willing to cooperate again?"
Maka listened to Hermione's speculation, and finally curled her lips and said:
"In short, this is just a guess on my part at the moment... You have to understand that the Witte family is a family with the inheritance of ancient wizards after all. No one knows whether they still have some real strength and heritage. Therefore, all conjectures These are all just conjectures. As for the actual situation, we will have to wait for further in-depth understanding to know."
As he was speaking, Hermione suddenly seemed to think of something and couldn't help but ask in a low voice:
"I remember, Charlotte's surname is 'Witt', right? This Werther family, could it be said that-"
"Well, it's Charlotte's family," Maka answered her directly 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 will There won’t be too many ideas. Only her father who doesn’t want to leave the family... "
Just as Maka shook her head and said no more, she waved her hand and prepared to take them to St. Mungo's. But at this moment, everyone suddenly paused in the steps they had just taken.
"Huh?" Ron then looked back in shock and said, "Again?"
It turned out that everyone heard the sound of the carriage driving and suddenly stopped behind them. Then, just like in the black market before, they turned around and rushed back towards them again!
Maka turned around when she heard the sound, and pulled Hermione, Luna and others behind her, her brows frowning slightly.
The carriage left quickly and came back just as quickly. Not long after, everyone saw the two flying horses snorting and clattering to a stop on the roadside, letting the carriage stop firmly. in front of them.
Immediately afterwards, the carriage door was quickly pushed open from inside, and a figure of Maka, who was not yet a stranger, leaned out half of the body from the carriage.
"Mr. McClain... Well, if my brain hasn't become less and less useful with age. You should be Charlotte's classmate, the Maka McClain, right? "
Unexpectedly, Maka had just mentioned this man to Hermione, and now the man had appeared in front of her. There is no doubt that this is Charlotte's father, Mr. Norman Waite.
But for some reason, the other party was obviously wary of everything around him. He didn't even get off the carriage, he just leaned out and looked around cautiously.
Of course, no matter which direction he looked, he could only see a gray scene.
"I think sir's memory is still very good," Maka didn't move and just stood there, "I am the same Maka McLean back then... It seems that sir has something important to do with me?"
