Chapter 1120 Failure Can Be Forgivable

After Pansy left the Ministry of Magic with Iluli all the way without any danger, they temporarily separated-Pansy had to return to Hogwarts before lunch time, and Iluli, it seemed, also Still have to go back to "home" first.

Yes, even though she would probably be punished after going back, she still had to go back after all.

After all, any contract in the magic world has magical effects. If her servant stays away because she is worried about punishment, there will be some more serious consequences sooner or later.

However, Pansy's resistance to going back to school seems to be much more obvious than that of Iluli, who is worried in her heart and pretends to be fine on the surface.

Recalling Maca's intimidation to her at the beginning, she didn't want to go back now that she couldn't complete the task. But in order to prevent others from discovering the abnormality, she obviously had to reply.

At noon that day, Maca met Miss Parkinson in the auditorium.

To be honest, she looked a bit in a bad state - she was sitting at the long Slytherin table with her eyes slightly lowered, digging the peas on the plate with the spoon in her hand, once in a while. Mouth to send.

If the place wasn't full of wizards and wizards, Maca would have thought he saw a Muggle-made robot!

"Oh, Miss Parkinson seems a little out of spirits?"

Slughorn on the side also looked there, and casually said to Maca beside him:

"In my class this morning, I thought she was a bit distracted. When preparing potion ingredients, she almost chopped up the whole rolling bulb, and everyone was splashed with caustic juice... But now, She looks even worse than she did this morning."

Maca didn't listen carefully to the fat old man's nagging, but he also knew that what the other party said was right - Pansy might just be nervous in the morning, but the distraction now is obviously more than just nervous.

Reminiscent of the "that thing" that Pan Xi did after the end of the third class just now, Maca couldn't help shaking her head secretly.

"Yeah," he said to Slughorn, "I think she's going to need some counseling... You know, a girl of Miss Parkinson's age has a lot to worry about, Isn't it?"

"Aha, you're right," Slughorn was talking, suddenly turned his head and looked at Maca, "Speaking of which, aren't you also 'this age'?"

"Well," Maca curled her lips and said perfunctorily, "You just think I'm a little precocious! Anyway, there are indeed many people who say that about me now.

"

Although it was just for fun, he wasn't talking nonsense—he felt that someone really needed to calm Pansy's heart, so as not to make any unnecessary mistakes when doing things for him.

You know, this is not only for Pan Xi to complete the task better, but also for her safety.

Now, just looking at the other party's bewildered appearance, Maca knew that the plan of "rescuing Muriel and giving Martin a favor" probably failed.

After lunch, he didn't wait for Pansy who was still dazed at the dining table to get up, and left the auditorium first. It was just that before he walked out of the side door, he let a small note appear in front of the other party very discreetly, and then walked towards the deputy castle.

Maca walked slowly in the corridor leading to the vice castle, but even so, it took a long time for Pansy to barely catch up behind him when he reached the door of the room.

He didn't reach out to open the door, but when he noticed that Pan Xi was standing still at the corner of the corridor, he stopped moving forward accordingly.

"Don't come here again? I won't beat you—"

Maka turned around and casually made a joke at Pan Xi who was far away from him. But after the other party heard it, he still shook his head in silence, not even daring to look him in the eye.

After a while, I heard Pan Xi say:

"Professor McLean...you know everything?"

After hearing this, Maca could only sigh helplessly.

"I didn't go with you. What do you want me to know? Just looking at your distraught look, I think you probably didn't manage things well... So, you plan to explain to me what happened ?"

Now that they have already come in front of Maca, Panxi naturally has no reason to hide. What's more, even if she doesn't say it now, sooner or later the matter of the Ministry of Magic's dungeon being robbed will reach the other party's ears.

So, Pansy didn't hesitate any more this time, and quickly explained the whole operation from beginning to end. Especially in the matter of "whether Iluli should use fairy magic to open Muriel's prison door", she explained her choice as much as possible.

It has to be said that Maca couldn't help but secretly nodded when she heard Pansy's words that "being considerate of friends is also a way to fight for interests".

However, it was nothing if he missed the opportunity to meet Kingsley. Even if he failed, Pansy himself would not be able to open the enchanted door in the dungeon. In that case, she wouldn't be able to take either Iluli or Muriel with her.

Obviously, Maca is also prepared for the possibility of the plan failing.

But even he didn't expect that not only the half-blood witch named Iluli could use the magic of elves, but also Pansy had a change of mood at the most inappropriate timing.

Regardless of whether it was an inevitability or a coincidence, successive accidents led to Iluli being rescued, while Muriel remained in the dungeon of the Ministry of Magic.

This result is undoubtedly the worst.

After Pansy finished the whole process, Maca immediately fell into thinking. For a moment, the corridor became surprisingly quiet, and even the little noise far away in the main castle became very clear.

Pan Xi, who had been looking down at the ground slightly from the beginning, seemed to feel the pressure in the silence. Not long after, I heard her carefully say:

"McLean...Professor, are you angry?"

"Ok?"

Maca was thinking about whether to make amends next, or to simply give up the plan of making Pansy a spy, when the sound of the other party's timid tentativeness suddenly came from his ear, and he couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

"Do you think I should be angry?"

"Should, should...Because of my personal reasons, not only did the task fail to be completed, but it is very likely that Martin will no longer trust me...Of course you should be angry..."

To be honest, Pansy is really afraid of Maca now.

And maybe it's not just because of Maca's strength, nor just because of the future of the family... In fact, since Maca gave her a chance to redeem her sins, something happened in her heart. A change she didn't even notice.

As for the friendship between her and Iluli, on the contrary, it was gradually established from that slight change.

Of course, for the fact that "the instigator who caused the plan to fail was actually himself", Maca just hasn't realized it yet.

"Yes, because you made an inappropriate decision privately, causing loopholes in the whole plan... In that case, maybe I should be angry," Maca shrugged, "However, it seems that you are doing it for your friend. For the sake of it, I think let’s forget about it!”

"what?"

To be honest, when Panxi heard Maca say that it was fine, she was full of astonishment.

You know, if something like this happened to the Parkinson family, even her parents wouldn't let her off easily. Needless to say, a severe punishment is inevitable, and depending on the seriousness of the result, she may even be expelled from the family by removing her surname.

After all, she almost ruined the whole plan because of the feelings of an insignificant goblin hybrid!

However, this is Hogwarts, and standing in front of her is Maca. For failure, Maca has always been tolerant, because he knows very well that if there is success, there must be failure, which is not unusual.

If everything can be successful, it is an incredible thing.

"I won't say much else," Maca waved his hand, "I just hope you can understand that sometimes we have to make some sacrifices for the sake of the overall situation...Of course, you didn't do anything wrong this time, After all, you can't decide for someone else whether to choose sacrifice or not."

After that, he waved his hand immediately.

"Go back! Gather up your mood and prepare for the afternoon class - I heard from Professor Slughorn, remember not to be distracted during class!"

Finally, he added:

"...As for the future, I will think about it before telling you, so next time I look for you, don't walk so slowly!"

Seeing the back of Pan Xi turning away, Maka raised her voice again and shouted towards the corner of the corridor:

"Don't hide there, since you've heard it all, come here!"

Before the words were finished, Hermione and the others came out from the other side of the corner in one go, accompanied by a burst of murmurs. After seeing Pan Xi who was walking towards him, they finally pushed and shoved to the front of Maca.

"Oh, sorry, Maca..." Ron who was pushed to the front said with a bitter face, "Because Luna said, you sent a note to Parkinson, so we all wanted to see what happened. What's going on...but we didn't know that we just heard about her going to the Ministry of Magic to rob prison."

As he was talking, he couldn't help but glanced behind him again, looked at Hermione and whispered:

"I said don't come here! Even if you invent a gadget that can hide the breath, Maca will definitely be able to find us hiding nearby...Look!"

"This at least shows that my little invention still has room for improvement!" Hermione glared at him.

But Maca was not distracted by their quarrel, he spread his hands, looked at them helplessly and said:

"Then what do you think I am looking for Miss Parkinson for?"
