Chapter 794 Tell Him to Come to Me Directly
"... Ms. McGonagall, I think I have to remind you that Charlotte Witte is a member of our Witte family. Now we are going to take her back, and I hope you will call her out as soon as possible... Otherwise, we have a reason Think that our family members have been detained and imprisoned by your Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!"
The person who was standing at the school gate and talking to Professor McGonagall was actually the old butler Maca met when he went to the Werther family mansion.
The old man was the same as back then, with his gray hair combed neatly, and the wizard robe on his body was spotless, no matter how he looked at it, he was a steady and imposing old wizard.
And just like his sonorous and forceful tone, regarding the actions of the dignitaries who came to Hogwarts this time, he also displayed an aggressive posture all the time.
It seems that for him, Charlotte, a junior in the family, is going to make a decision today.
But from the perspective of Professor McGonagall, the behavior of the Werther family is unreasonable.
Although Maca didn't explain in too much detail about Charlotte's arrival, the time Mag and Charlotte have worked together is not too short. For things like "why Charlotte gave up her family's advantages and was willing to go back to school to serve as an insignificant professor's assistant", anyone with a little brains must be able to figure out why.
"Mr. Witt," McGonagall was not annoyed when she heard that the other party falsely accused the school of imprisoning Charlotte, she just retorted calmly, "As the current headmaster of Hogwarts, I admit that Miss Charlotte Witt It is true that I have worked in our school..."
She stated the fact seriously at first, but then changed the subject.
"But I'm sorry," McGonagall said lightly, "Our school has never established any long-term employment relationship with Miss Werther, she just held the temporary position of 'professor's assistant' in our school. Today, I correct the value of On the rest day, Miss Werther did not come to work at the school."
"Hmph, you said you're not here! Why don't I believe—"
Behind the old butler, a younger Werther family member seemed to have lost his temper, and suddenly asked a loud question.
But before he could continue speaking, he saw the old butler glanced at him sharply, causing him to immediately shut his mouth and listen to his spine standing straight.
In the Werther family, the butler has never been a servant, because every generation of butlers also has the surname "Werther" brought out from the womb.
The word "housekeeper" is not so much a family position, but rather a very representative family status.
"Hearing what Ms. Mag said, it means that my lady is not in the castle anymore?" The old butler stared at Mag's eyes with a slightly gloomy expression, "If that's the case, please tell me where she is? If we If we can find someone, we won’t bother your school like this again.”
The old man spoke in a high-sounding manner, and even had some hints of "both sides take a step back". This actually shows that they didn't come here to deliberately make trouble today, but really wanted to take Charlotte home.
However, Professor McGonagall knew more or less that "Miss Werther" probably wouldn't want to go back to that family again.
"Unfortunately, although I also want to give you an answer, I don't know the answer to this question." McGonagall said calmly, "Our school and Ms. Witt are just a very ordinary temporary employment relationship. As for her personal Activities are beyond our scope of interference... I hope you can understand."
"No, I don't think I 'get it'."
The old man's words were still as subtle as before, with a feeling that he would never compromise until he got something. But due to some reasons that the head of the family had warned, he did not show excessive toughness.
"My lady works in your school. Even if it is only temporary, your school should take corresponding responsibilities. Now she has not returned home, but she is 'not in' your school... Then can I think that,
She has disappeared? "
At this point, the old butler paused for a moment, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "...If this is the case, I think I have to go to the Ministry of Magic and formally submit a search request."
His implication was very clear, that if Professor McGonagall didn't come up with something useful, he would have the Ministry of Magic involved. And when the time comes, it will be imperative to search Hogwarts Castle, and it will be justified.
After all, Charlotte was originally a member of the Werther family, and this fact cannot be changed.
Now that the family wants her to go back, it's one thing for her not to want to, but if outsiders like Professor McGonagall come to try to stop her openly or secretly, then it doesn't make sense.
In fact, McGonagall really didn't have a good way to deal with the words of the old butler of the Werther family at this time.
Just when Professor McGonagall pursed her lips and didn't know how to speak, a figure came from the direction of the castle and came to her in a short while.
"Butler Barno...the wind has been blowing really hard recently, and it brought you here inadvertently?"
The only one who can still appear here at this moment is Maca. However, although he was standing between the thirty people on both sides, he seemed to be completely unable to feel the tension in the atmosphere, with his head tilted and his face full of frivolity.
"Maka McClain."
When the old butler saw him appear, although he had already made mental preparations, he was still a little disturbed. After calming down and sorting out his thoughts, he frowned and looked at Maca's location.
"I think, with your current status, there is no need to put on such an inexplicable gesture anymore? You and I know it all too well—you are not a descendant of the Diehl family at all, are you? ?”
However, Maca's expression didn't restrain himself because of the old man's words, and the contempt in his eyes became stronger and stronger.
"Well, maybe that day, my performance in front of you was indeed a bit too 'exaggerated'."
When Maca said that word, he hooked his hands and put a quotation mark. But in the blink of an eye, he suddenly put away that foolish look, and straightened his head that was tilted just now.
"But," he said calmly again, "how do you know that I'm really not the 'Maka Diher' back then?"
When he said this, the old butler Ba Nuo was about to speak, but Maca quickly waved his hand.
"Don't think that I don't know if you have investigated my life experience," he twitched the corners of his mouth and said pointedly, "If you want to find out who I am, hmph, I advise you not to waste your time—"
After a self-deprecating laugh, Maca asked bluntly:
"Tell me! Why did you suddenly come to ask for Charlotte?"
Back then, Maca used a long-destroyed "Sorcerer's Stone" to perfectly bluff the huge family of the Werther family, and now they finally remember it.
But even if he understood that Maca was probably bluffing at the time, it was already very difficult to regain his position now.
After all, no matter what, Maca is now a well-known wizard in the global magic world, with a lot of strength, background, reputation, and connections.
What's more, the "deal" about the Philosopher's Stone is not something that can be said on the surface.
Therefore, the old Patriarch of the Werther family had already instructed old Barno before this act of instigation, saying that he could control the situation within an acceptable range as much as possible so as not to make trouble with Hogwarts.
As for how to deal with Maca, the old Patriarch only said one thing - don't fight him!
Seeing Maca ask the dignitary's reason, Butler Barno secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Because his visit to Hogwarts this time really only had the purpose of "bringing Charlotte back".
It would be great if Maca could take the initiative to join in on this.
"What else can happen," the old housekeeper pretended to sigh, "Perhaps you still remember that my lady was already engaged. But just a few days ago, her fiancé came to my Werther family in person, Insist on the young lady to fulfill the agreement and marry him."
"Could it be that you want to say..." Maca said with vacant eyes, "You can't do anything about it?"
"This...my lady was engaged to him, if it wasn't for you..."
Before Maca showed up, the old man had already made enough tough statements, but now facing Maca, he put on an appearance of understanding and reasoning.
Although he didn't finish his sentence, the meaning he wanted to convey was already very clear.
To be honest, this old housekeeper is actually quite low-profile. Thinking about it, who else besides the old Patriarch can make him communicate so nicely?
It's a pity that, for Maca, it is absolutely impossible for Charlotte to hand it over again. Back then, when his strength was still weak, he was able to bring his senior sister out of the dark Werther family, but now he might compromise?
"Butler Barno," Maca said with a chuckle and shook his head, "For the sake of being polite to you today, I won't say anything unpleasant. Go back and tell the old Patriarch Witt that if you If you can’t refuse, tell Charlotte’s fiancé to come to me directly!”
As he spoke, he waved his hand again.
"I will give him and Charlotte a chance to talk face-to-face - if Charlotte can go with him on her own terms, then I will not hinder it."
The Werther family doesn't want to cause trouble, so Maca naturally won't take the initiative to provoke. To be openly hostile to an ancient wizard family under unavoidable circumstances, this kind of behavior is not courage and persistence, but downright reckless.
"Of course, if Charlotte doesn't want to go..."
Maca didn't finish his sentence, but after expressing his attitude, he spread his hands forward, indicating that the old man could go back to their Patriarch to return his life.
The old butler stared at Maca a few more times, and finally nodded his head resignedly.
"I will convey your meaning to the Patriarch."
