Chapter 1068: A New Generation of Double Agents

"what!"

With an exclamation, Pan Xi suddenly turned over from the bed and sat up. She couldn't stop panting, the cold sweat on her forehead slid stickily down her cheeks, falling from her chin to the pajamas on her chest.

"Huh? Pansy...what's the matter?"

"No, it's nothing, it's just a nightmare."

Hearing the vague question from her roommate, she pursed her lips and shook her head, and answered in a pretendingly calm voice.

"Oh... I was shocked, I thought... ha... I thought what happened!" The roommate yawned and glanced at her, and then shrank back into the bed, "Then I will continue to sleep ?”

"Ok."

After the roommate lay down again, Pan Xi raised her hand and wiped the sweat from her face. The cold and greasy touch disgusted her, who loved cleanliness since she was a child.

However, no matter how uncomfortable the sweat stains were, it couldn't compare to the fear deep in her heart at the moment.

Even though she had woken up from the nightmare, the face that appeared in the dream was still entrenched in her mind—distorted, dim, full of pain and death.

And, of course, those eyes that stared blankly at her holes.

"The face of that person when he died... I guess you remember it much more clearly than your brother's face?"

Before returning to the dormitory, the words McClain said in Snape's office resurfaced in her mind again, echoing like magic, lingering.

Picking up the water glass on the bedside table, he drank a couple of gulps. Suddenly, a coolness turned into a line on her chest, slid straight down into her abdomen, and then gradually spread.

Relying on the coldness in his chest and taking a few deep breaths, Pansy calmed down a bit, and only then recalled the follow-up of the previous conversation with McClain.

After a while, she suddenly murmured in her heart:

"I, I really... can I do it?"

...

"To tell you the truth, when I said just now that you would be sent to Azkaban, I was definitely not scaremongering..."

In Snape's office, Maca first reminded Pansy of the face of the Muggle hangman who died at his hands.

And when Pansy was terrified by this, he went on to talk about the grim prospect that the other party might face in the near future.

"You know, although there are regulations on the protection of minors, it's just a matter of discretion to reduce the penalty." Maca said calmly, "Do you still remember the penalty when I was taken to the Wizengamot? Peter Pettigrew's death, I was convicted of manslaughter, and finally received five years in prison, and the punishment for minors was halved."

Having said that, he paused for a while, then looked at Pan Xi and said:

"And you... First of all, the crime of intentional homicide is indispensable. Then, I think the reason why you choose Muggle death row criminals is to alleviate the guilt in your heart as much as possible? But you didn't consider that the magic The most important law in the world is the International Statute of Secrecy..."

As he was speaking, Maca spread his hands and said:

"Do something against Muggles? This is even those Death Eaters of Voldemort back then,

There are so many things to think about! "

After saying that, Maca looked at Snape who was leaning against the desk again, and shrugged his shoulders.

Seeing this, Snape couldn't help curling his lips and said:

"During the general judgment of the First Wizarding War, the cousin of Death Eater Dolphin Rolle was finally sentenced to the 'Dementor's Kiss' penalty for dedicating Muggle death row prisoners to Voldemort to refine Yin corpses— —As for you, hmph, the death penalty is not enough, but at least half of your life should be spent in Azkaban, right?"

It is precisely because the punishment for intentional homicide is extremely severe, and the impact is very large.

So even if Maca was just looking for an excuse to act with Dumbledore, he still managed to defend himself in the courtroom, and finally won a charge of manslaughter.

If he had been convicted of intentional homicide at that time, it would not be so easy to get rid of the impression in other people's minds afterwards.

Hearing Snape give an example casually, Pansy became more and more frightened. At that moment, she not only had the fear of the dead in her heart, but also the fear of the future prison disaster.

You know, the dementors in Azkaban are feared by everyone in the wizarding world—the feeling of losing all positive emotions and leaving nothing but silence in her heart. She has heard it from several elders in her family. How many times.

But in the next second, Maca suddenly gave another inexplicable chuckle.

"Miss Parkinson," he said, "since you have completed the first step of the magic ritual, does it mean that your magic talent has grown?"

When Pan Xi heard this, she quickly raised her head and said:

"It...it...Professor McLean, it has hidden dangers...great hidden dangers! It—"

"I know," Maca raised his hand and gestured, "I know its hidden dangers—not only that, but I can also feel that the effect of that magic ritual is not as strong as you imagined, isn't it?"

"Uh...how did you know?" Pan Xideng asked in amazement.

Seeing her question, Maca smiled indifferently.

"In the underground church under the cemetery, didn't I propose to Martin that you be an 'insider' hiding in Hogwarts for us?" He said lightly, "Why, you forgot so soon? "

"That... that person is you?"

Panxi was really frightened this time, and even because of Maka's words, the fright in her heart suddenly suppressed the previous fear in her heart, and she no longer had the heart to worry about killing people.

But after seeing her staring wide-eyed for a while, she finally couldn't help begging for mercy:

"I'm sorry...professor, I...please forgive me! I, I didn't want to agree, but the situation at that time really forced me to agree..."

Maca listened to her talking nonsense for a while, before interrupting her chaotic words, and said slowly:

"Of course I know you were forced... because I deliberately forced you to agree. Otherwise, do you think you can still sit here and talk to me?"

"Yes, yes, thank you for saving—"

"No," Maca waved her hand and interrupted her again, "I saved you only because you are a student at Hogwarts, and it's not his turn to be a dark wizard's subordinate to attack you... But It doesn't mean you won't die, understand?"

"...Dead, dead?"

When Panxi was terrified by the word "death" in Maca's mouth, Maca couldn't help but sneered and said:

"Why, when you murdered an irrelevant person, didn't you consider the other person's mood when facing death? Even if the hanged person had a heinous crime, that's not the reason for you to kill with greed and evil intentions. "

Seeing that Pan Xi fell silent again with his own words, Maca continued:

"You may have to go to the Wizengamot, but personally, I can give you a chance to reduce the penalty."

"I'm willing to do anything! I'm willing to do anything!" Panxi immediately expressed his attitude, but then turned around, "But...is it just to reduce the punishment?"

"Ok?"

After Maca heard it, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows and said:

"It seems that you don't have enough remorse...Miss Parkinson, I suddenly don't want to give you any more chances. After all...you don't seem to understand what is meant by 'regret and cherish'?"

"No! That's not the case..." Pansy hurriedly said, "Professor McLean, I mean... If I also enter Azkaban, our Parkinson family will..."

After hearing Pansy's previous description of the family, Maca certainly understood what she wanted to say.

Indeed, since one of Pansy's cousins ​​had already been sent to Azkaban because of his status as a Death Eater, if another person from their family went to prison, the entire Parkinson family would have a considerable impact on the outside world.

At least, those forces that could still cooperate with their family's industry should choose to let go and wait and see!

Maca knew that a wizard like Panxi who came from a big family valued his own family very much. Every word and deed of each of them represents their own surname, and they will never allow themselves to discredit the family.

It's a pity that Maca didn't have any feelings for these pure-blood families. Because he understands better that with the current trend in the magic world, it will be a matter of time before these families lose power and become lonely.

I heard her mention a family matter first, and then said:

"And...do you see the hidden dangers of that magic ceremony?"

"You don't have to care about this," Maca said, "I will give you a guarantee of life, at least to ensure that you will not be killed by that Martin during this period... You know, he is still waiting for you He does work! Doesn't he?"

After a short pause, he said again:

"As for the situation in your family... Well, your brother's name is Perces, right? If he is really just being squeezed out, then it's not a problem for me to give him a way out. Not only that, if you can handle it well If I give you the chance, then your Parkinson family will benefit from it!"

After a moment of silence, Pan Xi nodded vigorously as if she had made up her mind.

"Professor McLean, what do you want me to do?"

"Don't worry, what I want you to do is not complicated at all, it's very simple!" Maca smiled and said, "Stay with Martin and be your 'believer', remember to tell me in time when he wants you to do something." I, by the way... let's make more 'friends'!"

After exhorting her a few times, Maca let her go back to the Slytherin dormitory, and then exchanged another glance with the calm Professor Snape.

"Professor, do you have any thoughts?"

When Snape heard this, he immediately clicked his tongue and said:

"Thoughts? Hmph...it reminds me of a lot of unpleasant things."

What Maca asked Pan Xi to do was naturally a so-called "spy", and it was also a double agent. And this is obviously similar to what Dumbledore asked Snape to do in the first place.

Of course, Pansy's job is much easier than Snape's in the past!
