Chapter 839 Who Is the Photographer?

"Butler Blois?"

Maca didn't expect to meet the butler from Castle Blois at Slughorn's private ball.

Hearing a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him, Steward Blois turned around abruptly, and gave a calm salute after seeing Maca.

"Oh, good evening, Mr. McLean."

Seeing that the back figure was indeed the old butler Blois, Maca couldn't help but feel a little stunned. Nothing else, he was worried about whether there was something wrong with Willie.

"Butler Blois, are you... are you here at the invitation of Slughorn?"

Under Maca's frowning gaze, the old butler could naturally understand his thoughts, so he waved his hand lightly.

"Don't worry, Mr. McLean, the lady is doing well recently." He smiled and said, "Except for not being able to go out of the range of the array left by the gentleman at that time, which made the lady a little bored, there is no other trouble."

Hearing what the old housekeeper said, Maca couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At the beginning of Blois Castle, he conducted a series of research with the goal of unraveling the blood curse on Willie, and he did not come up with a plan until the end.

After all, this is blood transformation on human beings. Due to the huge individual differences, even if Maca ignores the so-called moral standards, it is impossible to use similar experiments to accumulate data.

Therefore, he has to be careful a thousand times, ten thousand times—there is only one chance.

Before leaving Blois Castle, Maca injected Willie with the prepared warming potion, and left her in a rune pattern to cooperate with certain ingredients in the potion to start a long period of blood and magic power. Nurturing.

Counting the time today, Wei Li's nurturing process is about to reach the final step.

According to Maca's prediction, when this place enters the Christmas holiday, he will almost be ready to go to Chateau Blois, France, to carry out real blood transformation for Willy.

To be honest, Maca hadn't received any news from Willy's father during this period of time, which was something that made him feel more at ease.

"...Oh, that's right! A few days ago, the master sent several pots of flowers and plants to the young lady's room. The young lady seemed really happy."

Maca nodded again and again.

For Mr. Blois's expression of family affection, he heard it now, and couldn't help but feel extraordinarily warm.

"Knowing that Willie is fine, that would be great." Maca thought for a while, and then relaxed, "Oh, so, have you had any friendship with Professor Slughorn, butler? The circle is really wide."

"Haha——" the old butler shook his head, "Isn't this generally accepted? Mr. Slughorn has always been very warm to others, and people who like to make friends with him are always indispensable..."

As he was speaking, he glanced back at Slughorn, and then continued:

"As for me, sir, you must also know that - as the steward of Blois Castle, it is my responsibility to make friends with the master, isn't it?"

The old butler's tone was still so unhurried, and his conversation was as elegant and peaceful as ever. As a housekeeper, he can obviously be singled out as a typical example in the industry.

Maca has seen several housekeepers from big families, but among all the housekeepers, only the one from Nicole Flamel's family can be said to be as good as him.

The so-called "the housekeeper of a family represents the face of that family", this old saying from the ancient magic world can be seen from him.

But at this moment, Butler Blois changed the subject again:

"But speaking of it, when the master knew that I was coming to Hogwarts for this personal ball, he asked me to bring a word. He said that if he could meet you, Mr. McLean, he would mention a word to you by the way. -"

When the old butler said these words, the smile on his face did not change at all, and even his tone seemed very relaxed. But when Maca heard this, his calm heart immediately lifted up a little.

Even if the other party said it very plainly, he knew that the words that Mr. Blois asked the butler to bring was probably the most crucial thing for the other party's trip.

"Please say……"

Maca also chuckled calmly and spread his hands, motioning for the old butler to continue.

"Well, it's really nothing... Just a few days ago, the Augustine family of your country sent people to visit and discussed with the owner about cooperation. They had a proposal, saying that as long as our Castle Blois can Help them all the time, and provide us with some internal information about the Werther family after the disputes in their family are over."

"The Werther family is provoking whom..." Maca first laughed and complained, and then pondered, "But...'disputes within the family'?"

As for the two ancient wizard families of Werther and Augustine, Maca has long expected that they will change when they are poor.

Last time in the black market, the chaos of the Werther family was also thanks to Haierbo, so Haierbo was the only one to blame. But the problems of the Augustine family can be said to be all on their own.

And then the latter suddenly contacted the Bulova family, and used the information of the Werther family as a bargaining chip... This is somewhat incomprehensible.

"Hmm... Is someone in the Augustine family going to fish in troubled waters?"

"Who knows?"

The old butler smiled lightly and did not discuss too much.

"Just as far as the owner knows, someone in the Augustine family seems to want to drag Hogwarts into the water—of course, those two people didn't say so."

In fact, if you have to say it, Mr. Blois's behavior of disclosing this matter to Maca is against the rules of the family. According to the default rules between families, no matter how intriguing and deceitful the fight between families is, it is obviously inappropriate to disclose the news to outsiders like this.

But Mr. Blois is still looking forward to Maca's ability to lift the curse on his precious daughter! When he looked through the information and learned about Maca's actions in the British wizarding world, he immediately informed him of the matter that might affect Maca.

"In short, please help me say 'thank you' to Mr. Blois after you go back, housekeeper."

France is not far from the UK, and there is only the English Channel between the top and bottom. It is natural that this kind of secret connection between families is relatively common.

On the premise that there may be sufficient interests, many families will also intervene in certain events at the right time, not to mention such a situation of greeting in advance.

And Castle Blois didn't make a move in the alchemy competition and this family dispute, and it was all because of Maca's face. Otherwise, the current British wizarding world is estimated to be much more chaotic than imagined.

As Maca mentioned just now, disturbing the water is always what those who control power are best at.

"Don't worry, Mr. McLean," the old butler said honestly, "If you want to say 'thank you', we, Castle Blois, should be thankful—if we can solve the curse on the lady, it is equivalent to giving The future of Château Blois is paving the way. It is a great boon, both public and private."

However, Willy's blood curse has not been lifted yet! No matter how thick-skinned Maca is, he cannot bear this heavy gratitude.

"For me, all I'm going to do is cure my friend Willie. As for the descendants of the family, there's no need to mention it."

Speaking of which, Slughorn, who was still talking and laughing with other people, has also come here, inviting the two of them to taste the rum he recently bought.

Although there were some messy things during this dance, the guests and hosts had a good time overall. It wasn't until late at night that everyone said good night to each other, and the curtain came down with unfinished emotions.

It's worth mentioning that Luna spent most of the night dealing with various desserts, and even Maca couldn't say a few words to her.

...

The next morning, during breakfast.

Many people still have the habit of reading newspapers while eating every morning, such as Professor Slughorn who cares about current affairs, or our Miss Hermione Granger.

It's just that in today's "Daily Prophet", some news is mixed with some content that only relevant insiders will be surprised by.

"Oh! This... Isn't this Sirius? And Professor Lupine?"

Probably because after one night, her stomach didn't hurt anymore, Hermione seemed to be in a good mood.

When she found the "familiar face" in the newspaper, she waved the fork in her hand in surprise, signaling Harry and Ron on the opposite side to take a look.

Because of Maca back then, the Ministry of Magic's arrest warrant for Sirius was quietly removed. The major media may have noticed this matter, but the relevant reports and articles were all left in the editor's waste paper in the basket.

Facts have proved that as time goes by and the heat fades, no matter how popular an event is, it will be thrown into the pile of old papers by the public who has lost interest.

Today, when the "Daily Prophet" prints the appearance of Sirius again, the disheveled Sirius who looked like a mad dog in the past has changed his appearance.

Seriously, the Black family has really good genes. Even though he is no longer young now, the well-dressed Sirius suddenly stood up, but no matter how he looked at him, he was a handsome uncle who kept his value.

"Well, Sirius was a good kid," Slughorn said, pointing to the newspaper while chewing white bread, "very smart and spiritual... I knew he would tell the world one day He showed his talent. It seems that I can write him a letter to contact him some other day..."

Maca glanced at him, and said to himself that you'd better not get into Sirius' misfortune, that guy is a good character, but he has never been a good person.

After that, he stretched his neck and looked at the newspaper.

"Who is the photographer? Is it necessary to take such a handsome photo?"
