When I came out of Riddle House, it was still late at night outside.
This conversation with Voldemort was not so much a discussion as it was Maka assisting Voldemort in finalizing every arrangement.
In general, Maka was only responsible for revealing the contents of the Triwizard Tournament to Voldemort, and promised to secretly provide some help to the Death Eaters performing the mission, and that was all.
Of course, with the so-called ever-changing world, he could not "guarantee" that Voldemort's arrangements would proceed smoothly.
"Now that the matter is done, let's go back to Hogwarts..."
Snape waved and motioned for Maka to stand next to him, but Maka shook her head.
"Send me near King's Cross Station. I have to do something for the respectable Mr. Principal." He shrugged and said with a smile.
Snape glanced at him and smiled: "You are quite busy now."
After a while, after leaving Maka next to the shop in front of King's Cross Station, Snape left suddenly.
Even in the middle of the night, there are still many Muggles in this large railway terminal in the center of London. They shuttle back and forth under the stars and the moon without any lag in their movements.
Recently, there has been news about the privatization of railway operations in the UK. It is estimated that it will become more prosperous and noisy by then.
But Maka wasn't here to ride the train today—he was here to pick someone up.
However, before that…
"Excuse me, beautiful young lady. I wonder if I am lucky enough to... be able to make friends with you?"
Transforming her wizard robe into a simple Muggle costume, Maka inexplicably ran to the corner next to the station exit and struck up a conversation with a young and hot blond girl.
The girl is obviously much older than Maka, she is dressed very casually, and her appearance is very ordinary. Normally, no one would notice such a girl standing in the shadows in the corner.
However, when Maka came forward to strike up a conversation, the girl looked at him with wide eyes as if she had seen something incredible.
"How did you recognize me?" she said in surprise, even her blond hair faded slightly.
"If I didn't recognize you, are you still planning to wait for me to look around for a long time before you come out and scare me?" Maka said with a smile, "Tonks, it's so late at night, I don't have time to waste. Here... I still hope that I can go back in time to catch up on some sleep!"
Yes, the person in front of me is the rare Metamorphmagus user, Nymphadora Tonks.
As the origin of Animagus, Disguise Magus is an innate ability that sleeps deep in the blood of wizards, and is much rarer than the former.
As for its ability, as the name suggests, it can easily change one's appearance with very low consumption of magic power, but it can be said to be a very convenient innate ability.
"Okay, okay..." Tonks said with a bored look on her face, "You are always able to casually undermine other people's self-confidence."
Don't be surprised, although Maka didn't pay much attention at the time, Tonks knew Maka.
Maka's first semester at Hogwarts was also Tonks' last semester at Hogwarts. If the investigation goes deeper, they are both students of Hufflepuff House.
It's a pity that, whether in the Muggle world or the magical world, graduating students have no time to interact with other things besides tons of review materials.
After graduation, Tonks, who had good grades and outstanding talents, successfully went to the Ministry of Magic to participate in the training of novice Aurors.
In the past few years, Moody has been paying attention to this young man with a lively personality and a deep sense of justice. After the training this year, while the restart plan of the Order of the Phoenix has just begun, he plans to recruit her as well. Come in.
"Then let's go quickly!" she urged, "I don't intend to disturb your precious sleep..."
"Yes! Isn't my sleep time becoming more and more precious..." Maka sighed, "I still have to wait for someone. Although he knows the place, but I have to wait for him to get there, I guess Tiandu It’s time to light up!”
"Who?"
When Tonks heard this, she habitually stretched out her arm to put on Maka's shoulder and asked curiously.
"I promised you not to make a fuss for a while..." Maka reminded, "His name is Jack Feige, and he is a squib."
"Squib?"
Normally, Tonks was the kind of girl who was very curious about everything. Now that she was not on a mission anyway, she looked even more relaxed.
"Is he also a new member recruited by the crazy old man? How old are you? He must be very capable to join as a squib, right?"
Maka shrugged and said, "Yes, yes, at least he is very talented at pretending to be a Muggle. After all, he has lived in the Muggle world for more than ten years, and he probably thinks of himself as a Muggle." It’s crazy…”
The two were chatting casually, and not long after, Maka raised her hand and waved.
At the ticket gate opposite, an unshaven old man was carrying a suitcase belonging to an old man. After seeing Maka waving, he walked towards Maka with a smile.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen!" Uncle Jack said cheerfully, "You must be Mr. MacLean, right? You are indeed young and promising, um... who is this lady?"
"Just call me Tonks, and we will be colleagues from now on!" Tonks skillfully stretched out her hand and shook hands with Uncle Jack.
"No need to be polite, let's go to the side and use the broomstick to drive." Maka urged.
"Broomstick? Why don't you disapparate?" Tonks looked at Maka, wondering.
The corners of Maka's mouth twitched, and then she spread her hands and said, "I know almost all other practical spells, but there is a problem with apparation... Moreover, you won't be able to find where we are going without me leading the way."
"Hey!"
Tonks immediately laughed, as if she had caught Maka's weakness, her smile was completely sinister.
"Don't be discouraged! McLean... As long as you study hard, you will learn it sooner or later, oh?" She patted Maka on the shoulder vigorously, and walked with Maka to the deserted corner next to her with a smile.
Behind them, Uncle Jack followed, the smile on his face never falling.
Regarding this uncle Jack Feige who is always smiling, he is actually a person who knows everything about him. His mother was the one who had moved to Uncle Harry's house, the neighbor two streets away from the Dursleys' home, Arabella Figg.
It was his mother who had always insisted on the task of watching over Harry's growth.
Recently, Arabella called her son over, saying that she planned to let her son, who had never married a wife, find a partner in London who could live a happy life.
So Maka simply suggested that he find a witch to be his wife—if he could find one.
Carrying this honest-looking uncle, the three of them flew to Grimmauld Place in the northwest direction...
"We're here, let's land!"
Maka waved to Tonks who was flying beside him, then pressed the broom handle and rushed down. Not to mention, such an exciting flight scared Uncle Jack so much that he almost couldn't help but dance on the broom.
Maka ignored him, just turned around and landed firmly on the ground.
Tonks landed right behind him, and headed across the street under the leadership of Maka.
"Mr. Figg, your mother lives over there now -" Maka said to the other side of the street, "the Muggle residential area, No. 21 Gleason Community. Go forward a little, then turn left, and then keep going If you go forward, you can see the community."
"Oh, thank you!"
Uncle Jack obviously hadn't recovered from the high-altitude flight. When he heard Maka speaking, he nodded hurriedly.
"Isn't he going to the stronghold with us?" Tonks asked strangely, looking at Uncle Jack's retreating back.
"Huh?" Maka chuckled as she walked forward, "Did I say he would go to the stronghold with us? Oh, I'm sorry... I just gave him a ride."
"Hey!" Tonks curled her lips in dissatisfaction.
"Just a little joke... Oh, we've come to the right place."
Maka stretched out her wand and waved it, and saw that the house in front of them suddenly moved to both sides. An old house seemed to have recovered from a squeezed state, and appeared out of thin air between the two previous buildings. between.
"Sirius doesn't even know how to replace a door in this shabby house, it still looks so dirty..."
"Security spell?" Tonks said in surprise, "Dumbledore must have cast it himself... I can't even think of such a complicated spell..."
This is No. 12 Grimmauld Place, the old home of the Black family.
Some time ago, Dumbledore and Sirius met, and by the way, they decided that the Order of the Phoenix would be based in this old house donated by Sirius.
The Loyalty Curse was indeed cast here, but it was not Dumbledore who cast it, but Maka himself.
Including the application and solidification of the spell, as well as the role of the secret keeper, it is simply a one-stop service.
"Well, yes... remember, this is a place only members can know..." Maka casually said, then opened the door first and walked into the still dark and gloomy hall.
He didn't bother to attack Tonks. After all, she had just become an official Auror. She should have some confidence left in her. There were still many things for her to do in the future!
"Oh—McLean!"
As the two walked through the hall, they saw a man with white hair and a simple suit striding towards them.
"Long time no see, you look like you've grown taller..."
