"Headmaster, a student reported to me this morning that Draco Malfoy was also missing..."
In fact, when Snape suddenly appeared in the auditorium and strode this way with his face stretched, Maka had roughly guessed what he was going to say.
Snape had a very peaceful childhood recently. After getting the post of Professor of defense against the dark arts, his only idea now is to live a safe life with his sister TIA.
To be honest, this will not be a perfect life for Snape. Because from the choice he made in the greenward incident, I'm afraid what he most wants is to see Harry's mother lily, and it's the kind of life and death.
The reason why he set foot on the current road was only because he was blocked by Makana's accident.
"It seems that I haven't seen the big bat of Hogwarts for a long time?"
No matter whether Snape's love for Lily has been slightly distorted by reality and time, at least he still has a firm and clear thought in the past, which makes him take big steps.
It is precisely because when he walks fast, his robe will be puffed up by the air, which makes many little wizards secretly give him the nickname of "big bat".
When Professor McGonagall put down his tableware for Snape's words, Marca also put aside the goblet full of juice in her hand and looked over there.
"Professor Snape, don't worry. Draco is with me."
Maka's words not only reassured the professors a little, but also began to look into what had happened.
Ernst Taron had disappeared once before, but now he came back unharmed, but Snape ran to say that Draco Malfoy was missing again.
In addition, with the stone tablets that Maka brought back last night, even if Maka hasn't explained more, it's difficult for everyone to think about things better.
"Please rest assured, although this matter is indeed a little complicated, I will find a way." Marca thought, "Professor Snape, please write a letter to Malfoy's house later... No, I think we'd better go together after our classes are over!"
Malfoy and his wife can only count on Draco now. After all, although Lucius was saved from Azkaban by Marca, it is absolutely impossible for him to shoulder a family as in the past.
It is said that now the Malfoy family is basically Narcissa, who is a wife and mother. Lucius can only stay at home and be the master behind the scenes. The number of public appearances may not be that once a year.
Fortunately, with the inside information of Malfoy family, it will not be a problem to support Draco until he graduates. After that, it depends on how Draco's successor will manage the family.
"... their family cannot lack Draco's son."
After that, Maka picked up the juice again and gulped two mouthfuls.
……
Malfoy Manor is located in Wiltshire, England.
This is a large-scale residence. In ancient times, when wizards and Muggles lived together, it was also a real Muggle Lord's residence.
Of course, members of the Malfoy family in modern times would never admit this.
Speaking of it, it was once requisitioned by Voldemort and briefly became the headquarters of Death Eaters. At that time, the manor was subjected to many magic spells. It looked gloomy, but there was also a kind of dark beauty.
After that, Voldemort lost his life again in Hogwarts. Lucius was arrested and Narcissa disappeared. Even dobby, who managed the manor day and night, ran to the pig head bar, where he was depressed for some time.
Today, however, when Marca and Snape came here again, they found that the manor seemed to be rejuvenated again.
The garden in front of the house was trimmed neatly, and the exquisite fountain glittered in the sun.
Although there is no white peacock in the past, there are butterflies flying and birds chirping in the garden, which is less luxurious but more natural.
In the corridor in the middle of the garden, as she walked and enjoyed the surrounding scenery, Maka felt more and more that... It should be right that she didn't make a quick choice at that time.
"... I prepared magic medicine for him to help him have no dreams at night. After that, I continued to study the causes of his symptoms, but I didn't get anything."
Next to Marca, Snape is talking about how he was entrusted by Narcissa to treat Draco's frequent nightmares.
Just having nightmares and making it difficult to sleep is not uncommon in San Mungo, but Draco's situation is special.
"He was affected by a force, but I haven't started to check where the force came from," Maka explained. "I'm sure there's only one thing - I'm afraid it's not easy to solve this problem."
Hearing the speech, Snape nodded slightly and did not continue to ask anything.
Because he knows that Maka is also the type of "he can take the initiative to tell you what he wants to say without asking, and he won't answer any questions he doesn't want to say".
Snape has known Marca for so long that he is used to this temperament which is quite similar to his own.
They walked down the aisle to the door of the house, and then Snape knocked on the door.
"Crackle!"
The knock on the door had just sounded, and with the slight explosion of a phantom in it, the door was pushed open for less than half.
"This is Malfoy Manor. Excuse me... Excuse me, two guests, why don't you have a superficial identity outside the main door..."
Half his face peeped out of the door was a domestic elf, and it wasn't dobby. It seemed that after Narcissa got home, she went to get a new servant to look after the house.
"Go and tell your host that Severus Snape and Marca McLean are visiting and want to talk to him."
"Er... Oh, ok... Please wait here..."
It can be seen that the new elf is not used to people visiting, and even the wizard who ran into the garden without permission hesitated.
So, I'm afraid the Malfoy Manor hasn't welcomed guests for some time.
However, the house elf didn't know how to deal with Snape and Marca, and Lucius knew it very well.
After the elf crackled again and disappeared in front of them, he directly appeared in the hall with the elf from somewhere, and even saved the time to come.
"Oh, Severus... And Mr. McLean, why did you suddenly..." Lucius stuffed his walking stick into the arms of the house elf and hurriedly greeted him at the door. "My house is simple. If you don't mind, please come in and let me do my master's heart..."
"If your manor is still rudimentary, how can I live as a homeless man?" Marca was not polite. At the invitation of Lucius, he immediately walked in. "You look good... Are you fatter than before?"
As Maka said, Lucius Malfoy still wore long white and gold hair, and his clothes were as exquisite and comfortable as ever.
In this man, he may occasionally show his inevitable depression or high, but the pride derived from pure blood has taken root in his living habits since childhood. At this point, Malfoy's parents and children are almost the same.
"Ha ha, Mr. McLean, you are joking..."
As far as Maka's current reputation and status are concerned, even if he Lucius Malfoy has not received his favor, he should be treated with caution. Not to mention, he can still stand here now, thanks to Maka's blessing.
Here, as Marca was chatting with Lucius, trying to pave the way for the coming serious topic, Snape came a little closer.
"Lucius, is Narcissa at home today?"
The three of them are old classmates. Although the time is not long, their friendship is not so shallow. Otherwise, with Snape's character, even if TIA was persuasing at that time, he probably wouldn't agree to help.
Now, Draco had problems in Hogwarts last semester, and his "old friend" who took over the treatment will naturally have a sense of responsibility.
"Narcissa?"
Lucius felt uneasy when he saw that Snape's expression seemed to be wrong.
Now the Malfoy family is doing its best to keep running. It's more difficult than in the past? To be honest, the family can't stand too much wind and waves in a short time.
But once Snape's subtle expression appears with Marca, will it be a small thing?
"She went to Macmillan's house today. She should have had lunch there before she came back..." Lucius slowed down his pace and replied rather uneasily, "what's the matter? What's the matter..."
Snape nodded and said, "McLean and I have something to tell you. I think it's best for Narcissa to be there."
His words are actually affirming Lucius's "bad" guess. As for what bad things need to be heard by the Malfoys... Lucius's heart sank suddenly.
"Don't be too nervous, relax -"
Seeing this, Maka had to continue to play the role of appeasement. Otherwise, what's the significance of his coming this time?
"If your wife is away, you can tell her later... Anyway, let's sit down and have a drink first! Don't think bad. I still have a lot to do!"
When Lucius heard the speech, he could only press down his wishful thinking and continue to take Marca and Snape forward.
Then, the three of them, together with the domestic elves behind them, went through the main hall and up the stairs to a luxurious living room on the second floor.
