Chapter 801 The Subtle Family
"Maka, what...what's going on?"
Up to now, as far as the marriage of the Werther and Augustine families is concerned, it has become a natural ending to break up on bad terms.
To be honest, there were quite a few people present, but no one expected that Maca's attitude would turn so sharply. At least from the first few sentences, although he was also very tough, he still deliberately let Charlotte and Mario talk alone.
But after only a few words, he immediately started chasing people away.
In this regard, although members of the two major families did not want to show weakness, after all, they could not turn their faces as straightforwardly as Maca. Anyway, those who accompanied Mallory to Hogwarts today were members who couldn't make decisions on the spot. Faced with Maca's arrogance, it was what they should do when they went back to report to the Patriarch.
Of course, if you want to say who is the most confused in this verbal confrontation, it will probably be Mario. From the beginning to the end, how many words did he say in front of Charlotte?
"Sorry, Charlotte."
Seeing the people from the two big families leave one by one, Maca couldn't help shaking his head secretly. But for Charlotte's concerned question, he really didn't know where to start at this moment.
Maca sighed slightly after Mario Augustine and Miriam's backs in black robes disappeared outside the school gate as the space shrank.
"Remember what I said just now?" He said casually, "The nature of this matter has changed... Well, or in other words, there may be problems here from the very beginning."
"What do you mean?" Professor McGonagall frowned, "Someone wants to create problems for Hogwarts?"
Mag's guess is naturally reasonable, and some joints are quite obvious. However, it is not so simple to be afraid of the intention of "some people".
"There is a possibility,
But it may not be..." Maca was talking, suddenly looked around, then waved his hands and said, "Let's go back first! It is inconvenient for me to say too much about some things now, let me think carefully about them first. "
As Ewan Ravenclaw said before, don't underestimate "the one".
Also in the state of remnant soul, Haierbo can do much more than Voldemort.
Even Maca, who can sense fluctuations in magic power, probably wouldn't have been able to directly detect the existence of that old guy if Hermione hadn't been abnormal yesterday.
And even if he finally drove the other party out with Harry's resistance, he could only watch him get away on the spot in the end.
"Eoun Ravenclaw...what is his purpose in doing this?"
Maca was thinking like this, walking at the end of the others. Professor McGonagall and others actually wanted to figure it out as soon as possible, but since Maca said "it's inconvenient to talk", there is always his reason.
Therefore, including the heroine of the Charlotte incident, she just silently put the question back in her heart for the time being.
Well, for her, as long as she can stay at Hogwarts, everything else is fine.
"Augustine family... Witte family... Hogwarts..." Maca took stock of the three power groups on the surface, and soon he paused, "Yes, the focus should be on the Witte family !"
...
Around the same time, the front hall of the Augustinian family mansion.
Mario, who had just returned home, had a stern face, with a gloomy look in his eyes. And his gloomy expression was quite similar to those of the family members walking behind him.
But to be honest, at this moment in his heart, there was an indescribable lightness in his heart.
"It would be great if I could speak and act like that McLean..."
His state of mind at the moment is actually very strange - if you have to use an analogy, it is equivalent to a student who obediently obeys discipline in class, and suddenly sees a student who takes the lead in contradicting the teacher.
The taste in it is really not something that can be expressed clearly in one sentence.
It's a pity that Mario Augustine was always just himself, and could never become Maca McClain. For this point, he himself is very clear.
"Squeak—"
The door of the main hall was carefully pushed open by two house elves, and Mario took the lead to walk in with a gloomy expression on his face.
The Augustine family deserves to be regarded as an ancient wizarding family that was regarded as a wealthy family. Even though it is not as good as before, it may even collapse from the foundation at any time. But this resplendent main hall still showed the strength that a big family should have.
In this huge main hall, on both sides of the thick long table in the middle, there were sitting two rows of wizards and wizards of different ages and appearances.
Except for some members who have to deal with family affairs outside, everyone else is basically here.
"As soon as you come back, notify us to hold an emergency family meeting. What happened?"
The person who spoke was the chief steward of the Augustine family, who was usually in charge of all the industry scheduling inside and outside the family, and was also the elder brother of the current head of the family, Mario's uncle, Herbert Augustine.
Apart from Mario's father, he had the greatest say in the entire family, and even the former would not ignore his proposal at will.
"Hmm..." Mario lifted his spirits a little, and said in a deep voice, "This time the situation is quite special, let's talk about it when father comes too!"
As he said, the innermost chief seat on the long table is still empty at this moment, which is naturally because the real principal of the Augustine family has not yet taken the seat.
Hearing what Mario said, Herbert frowned as if he didn't mind, and then nodded slightly.
"Then come and sit down first!"
Of course, Marius noticed his uncle's small actions, but in the Augustine family, the situation between Herbert, the chief steward, and the head of the family was no longer a secret.
"Okay." He replied, raised his legs and walked to his seat.
But before the words were finished, the side door on the inner side of the hall was suddenly pushed open, and a slightly overweight middle-aged wizard walked in slowly.
"Oh, it's all here, am I the only one missing?"
The visitor's tone of voice seemed a little flimsy, and his walking posture was even more flimsy. Coupled with his big belly protruding forward, it seemed uncoordinated to walk in this serious family meeting.
But this somewhat chubby man is the current head of the Augustine family.
"Don't look at me! What to say and continue... Oh, my son, have you just arrived? Come on, sit down and listen to the situation..."
While talking, he came to the back chair at the end of the long table, and dropped his whole body heavily.
"Simon, Mario didn't come to listen in today." Herbert glanced at his younger brother, and then said loudly, "Okay, your father has arrived, can we start talking?"
"Oh, of course."
Mario just walked to a certain seat in the middle, and pulled out the chair and was about to sit down. But after hearing Herbert's words, he could only stop the momentum of sitting down, and straightened his body again.
"The matter is actually very simple," he said, "I followed your suggestion this morning, Uncle, and went to Hogwarts to see Miss Charlotte Witt..."
He stated the previous encounter as concisely as possible, without any personal thoughts mixed in, basically telling the real situation at that time.
While he was telling the story, other family members who were listeners were even more excited than the client. Although out of superficial etiquette, most people just frowned and stared, but the anger on those faces was obvious.
For the Augustine family, Maca's behavior was a provocation. Even if the family members sent out today are only middle and low-level, it is still the face of the Augustine family. The fact that they were driven away is a bit embarrassing.
"That McLean, he really only said that he represented himself?"
After listening to Mario's narration, Herbert frowned like most of the members present. However, his city is obviously much deeper than others, and such things as being irritated, at least not visible on his face.
"I think so," Mario replied honestly. "McLean said at the time that all he could represent was himself."
"Hmph, arrogant young man! Does he think that if he has some skills, he can be fearless?"
While Herbert was still thinking about it, a male wizard who was sitting in the front suddenly said something, with a bit of a stiff tone in his tone.
But after Herbert raised his head and glanced at him, the guy immediately leaned back—because he noticed that there was a hint of warning in Herbert's eyes.
"Don't underestimate that McClain."
In recent years, Maca has flourished in the magic world, but the Augustine family has been declining year by year. Ancient wizard families like them obviously need to be more cautious in this era.
After withdrawing that sharp gaze, Herbert thought about something secretly, and after a while, he raised his head again.
"Simon, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
Of course he was asking about Mario's father, Simon Augustine, the current head of the family. It's just that his tone when he asked this question always made people feel a little deep.
"Huh?" Fat Patriarch Simon couldn't help shrugging his shoulders when he heard this, "What's that... well, what's her name? Oh, by the way, invite Miss Miriam in!"
In just a moment, the door of the main hall opened again, and a fiery lady immediately attracted the attention of most men present.
At this time, Miriam had already taken off the outer black robe, releasing her charm to the fullest.
"Misters and ladies of the Augustine family, on behalf of my boss, I would like to extend my greetings to everyone!" She leaned slightly and said leisurely.
