Chapter 1259

Walton McNeill is a big man.

As an execution officer of the Ministry of Magic's Beast Office and the Committee for Handling Dangerous Animals, he often needs to carry out executions with a long-handled giant axe. He does have a strong physique that ordinary wizards don't have.

Of course, compared with his height of nearly two meters, his figure still looks a little thinner.

But even so, it must have been quite a strange feeling when a man of this size hunched his shoulders and bowed his shoulders, and nodded and smiled at another guy who would not stand out among ordinary people.

"McNeil, I won't say anything else... I don't care about things like you and Nott's previous status as Death Eaters, and the things you have done to me in the past. You just need to Give me another time-turner, and nothing will happen."

In the study upstairs of McNeil's house, Maca stood in front of Walton, and spread out his right palm to him while talking.

"Hurry up, take it out."

As for Maca, the current Walton dare not make any mistakes.

He can also be regarded as an old employee who has worked in the Ministry of Magic for ten years. Because of Buckbeak, the Hippogriff, he got to know Maca early in the morning.

Therefore, it is obvious that Walton is fully aware of how Maca has come to this point step by step in recent years.

He knew very well that this Maca McLean was not something that he, a small character who had been secretly hiding in the Ministry of Magic for more than ten years but had never achieved anything, could afford to provoke this Maca McLean no matter in terms of strength or power.

As soon as Maca asked him to ask for another time-turner, Walton nodded quickly, fearing that he would cause some unwarranted disaster if he promised too late.

"Okay, Mr. McLean... just wait a moment, I'll go get it now! Go get it now!"

Seeing this, Nott, who led Maca over, had a faint tendency to explode. In his view, as long as Walton said that there was indeed a converter, it meant that the other party had used a fake one to deceive him.

But Maca was naturally aware of Nott's mood, and saw him glance back a little, the warning in those eyes immediately made Nott shut his mouth tightly.

In fact, Maca doesn't care whether there will be any disputes between Nott and Walton, let alone what kind of past there is between the two.

All he needs now is a time-turner.

What's more, these two people are not good people in the first place.

As long as the real time-turner is in hand, the two of them can quarrel as much as they like, and a life-and-death duel on the spot has nothing to do with him.

But the premise must be that he got the converter.

Watching Walton leave the study in a hurry, Maca casually pulled out an armchair next to him and sat down while secretly keeping an eye on his whereabouts.

Although Nott next to him wanted to follow Walton's footsteps, but the gaze from Maca just now made him dare not move around at will.

"Sit down too!"

After sensing that the magic power source representing Walton had entered a room, Maca pointed to the sofa not far away, signaling for Nuo Special to stand in the middle and put on a restless look.

To be honest, he was already annoyed enough in his heart, and seeing Nott's appearance, he obviously felt even more impatient.

When Nott was busy, he also sat aside, Maca thought about it casually, and suddenly remembered the daughter Joey who was raised as a maid in the other party's family.

"By the way, I heard from Mrs. Parkinson that the little girl named Joey is your daughter?"

"Ah!" Nott didn't know why Maca would suddenly ask this, but since Maca asked, he could only nod in a daze, "Yes, yes, my daughter...Joy... Knott."

"Then..." Maca recalled again, and then asked again, "Is her mother's name Amanda?"

"Uh, this... how do you know?"

It never occurred to Nott that Maca knew about such a thing.

In fact, his son and daughter, Theodore and Joey, are actually half-brothers. Just because the mother of his son Theodore passed away early, and because he was eager to create a career and revitalize the family at that time, he did not seek his next marriage.

So, almost naturally, he fell in love with Amanda, the housemaid.

However, Amanda is just a squib, and Nott, who has always claimed to be a pure-blood family heir, will never tell this matter. It is impossible for him to admit the fact that he and Amanda, let alone marry each other into the house.

Nott's relationship with Joey's mother has always been kept secret.

But not long after that, he was quickly thrown into Azkaban for being arrested as a Death Eater. Even before he went to prison, he didn't know that Amanda was pregnant with a daughter.

Therefore, it can be said that when the old Nott stepped into the house for the first time after returning, he himself was very surprised—who would have thought that after more than ten years of imprisonment, he would actually have an extra daughter? ?

But fortunately for Old Nott, his maid Amanda seems to be quite "reasonable".

Before he came back, the other party had learned about the major escape from Azkaban in the newspaper, and after realizing that Old Nott might be returning home soon, he took the initiative to leave.

What made old Nott even more happy was that, according to his son Theodore, Joey didn't show any magical talent even after he was twelve years old. There was no abnormal performance, let alone a magical runaway, and Amanda had no idea of ​​sending Joey to Hogwarts at all.

Amanda's sensibility made old Nott couldn't help thinking about his old love. So he still recognized Joey as his daughter after all, but, of course, he accepted it as a "goddaughter".

He knew that this should be the reason why Amanda kept Joey in his Nott family - no matter how poor the Nott family was, life here would definitely be better than leaving with her as an orphan and widow.

But Nott didn't expect that when Maca opened his mouth, he casually exposed the things he had been trying to hide.

Fortunately, Nott soon discovered that Maca's focus was obviously not on his abnormally bloody chaotic family relationship at all.

"Don't worry about how I know," Maca continued casually, "Anyway, while I'm waiting for McNeill to come over, let me remind you by the way—get Joey as soon as possible. Send it to Hogwarts!"

"Wh, what do you mean?" Nott was puzzled when he heard it, "Joy is just like her mother...is she a squib?"

"Ok?"

After Maca heard it, she couldn't help shaking her head.

"I don't know if that Amanda is a Squib, but your daughter Joey certainly isn't—seriously, that child hasn't become a silent person after being bored at home for so long, you should feel lucky for your son!"

"The one who is silent...?"

Of course Nott is not ignorant of what a "obscure person" is, but——

"I've heard from Theodore that Joey's kid didn't experience a magic runaway? How could this be..."

Seeing that he still had an unbelievable expression on his face, Maca was about to say something more, but then he sensed that Walton was coming to the study.

Right now, Time Converter is the most important thing, so he immediately waved his hand and said simply and clearly:

"In short, after all these things in front of me have subsided, remember to send Joey to Hogwarts, understand?"

Before the words fell, and before Nott could speak, the two saw that the door of the study room finally opened again.

"Mr. McLean, look, Time-Turner!"

I saw that Walton hurriedly came to Maca with the thing in his hands, and carefully placed it in Maca's hand.

Upon seeing this, Maca immediately stretched out his hand to pinch the chain, and brought the converter in his hand to his eyes.

That's right! This time it was finally right—the time rule fluctuation unique to the sand of time made Maca feel very familiar.

It's just that at the same time, the extremely real rule fluctuations also inadvertently touched the old wounds in his body. Even with the long-term use of potion to neutralize the injury, it still made him cough twice.

"Okay," Maca took another look, and then put away the converter, "McNeil, I don't care if you deliberately deceived Nott, or you don't know that the first converter is fake. ... Anyway, I have already received the things, so I won't bother with you about the previous things."

After saying that, he waved his hand and walked straight to the door.

"Nort, you should remember everything I said. Then after I leave, you can do whatever you want! But I still have to remind you that during this period, it is forbidden to go out at will."

Looking at the doorway where there were no figures soon after finishing speaking, Nott and Walton both let out a sigh of relief—it really is a wizard who can fight Haierbo back and forth, and he is with him , both of them were almost overwhelmed by that invisible momentum.

But this is also a matter of course, because in the past two days, Maca was already in a bad mood. If it wasn't for the Delphi incident that loosened his tense nerves, these two guys would definitely suffer a lot.

After a while, Nott, who was slightly relieved, seemed to remember something, and suddenly turned around and stared at McNeill.

"Walton! You gave me a fake one earlier—you know you almost killed me?"

Nott could even imagine that if Maca was replaced by his last master, Voldemort, he would have bid farewell to this tragic life in a flash of green light!

But on the other side, the tall McNeil also gave Nott a hard look, and said in a low voice:

"Then why don't you find out who the real time-turner is... That's McLean! You actually brought him to my house!"
