Chapter 795

"... Ms. McGonagall, I think I have to remind you that Charlotte Witt is a member of our Witt family. Now we're going to take her back and hope you can call her out as soon as possible... Otherwise, we have reason to think that the younger generation of our family has been detained and imprisoned by your Hogwarts School of witchcraft and Wizardry!"

It was actually the old housekeeper Maka met when she went to the Witt family residence.

As at that time, the old man had his gray hair combed neatly, and His Wizard robe was spotless. He was a steady and imposing old wizard.

And just like his sonorous and powerful tone, he showed an aggressive posture all the time for the action of important people in Hogwarts.

It seems that for him, Charlotte, a junior in the family, he is going to make a decision today.

But from Professor McGonagall's point of view, the Witt family's behavior is unreasonable.

Although Marca didn't explain Charlotte's arrival in too much detail, McGonagall has worked with Charlotte for a long time. For example, "why did Charlotte give up her family's advantages and willingly run back to school to serve as an insignificant Professor assistant", anyone with a little brain 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 calmly retorted, "as the current president of Hogwarts, I admit that Miss Charlotte Witt did work in our school..."

At first she told this fact seriously, but then she changed the subject.

"But I'm sorry," McGonagall said faintly, "our school has never established any long-term employment relationship with Miss Witt. She only served as a temporary position of 'Professor assistant' in our school. Today, on my correction duty rest day, Miss Witt didn't work in our school."

"Hum, you say you're not here! Why don't I believe -"

Behind the old housekeeper's side, a younger member of the Witt family seemed to have a temper and suddenly asked a loud question.

But before he could go on, the old housekeeper gave him a sharp look, which made him shut his mouth and listen to his spine stand straight.

In the Witt family, housekeepers never belong to servants, because every generation of housekeepers also have the surname "Witt" brought out from the womb.

The word "housekeeper" is not so much a family position as a highly representative family position.

"Listen to what Ms. McGonagall said, it means that my young lady is not in the castle?" the old housekeeper stared at McGonagall's eyes with a slightly gloomy expression. "In that case, please tell the young lady where she is? If we can find someone, we won't disturb your school like this again."

The old man spoke with a high sounding voice, and even hinted that "both sides should step back". In fact, it also shows that they didn't come to make trouble on purpose today, but really want to take Charlotte home.

However, Professor McGonagall knew that the "Miss Witt" would probably not 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 miss Witt are just ordinary temporary employment relations. As for her private activities, they are not within the scope of our intervention... I hope you can understand."

"No, I don't think I can 'understand'."

The old man's words were still as subtle as before, and he felt that he would never compromise without harvest. However, for the reasons that some owners had told him, he did not show excessive toughness.

"My lady works in your school. Even if it's only temporary, your school should take corresponding responsibilities. Now she doesn't go home, but she's not in your school... Can I think she's missing?"

At this point, the old housekeeper gave a little meal and suddenly said in a deep voice: "... If so, I think I have to go to the Ministry of magic and officially make a search request."

His implication was very clear, which meant that if Professor McGonagall didn't give something useful, he would let the Ministry of magic intervene. At that time, it will be imperative and justifiable to search Hogwarts castle.

In the final analysis, Charlotte is a member of the Witt family, which can't be changed.

Now her family wants her to go back. It's one thing that she doesn't want to, but if outsiders such as Professor McGonagall try to stop it openly and secretly, it won't be reasonable.

In fact, McGonagall really didn't have a good way to deal with the words of the old housekeeper of the Witt family at this time.

Just as Professor McGonagall sipped his mouth and didn't know how to speak, a figure came from the direction of the castle and came to her in a moment.

"Housekeeper Barnes and noble... The wind has been blowing so hard recently that it brought you here carelessly?"

It's only Maka who can still appear here now. But although he was standing between the more than 30 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.

"Marca McLean."

The old housekeeper saw him appear. Although he had already made psychological preparations, he was still a little upset. After settling down and sorting out his thoughts, he frowned and looked at Maka.

"I don't think it's necessary to pretend this inexplicable gesture in your current identity? You and I know better - you're not a descendant of the deHer family at all, are you?"

However, Marca's expression was not restrained by the old man's words. In his eyes, the contempt became stronger and stronger.

"Well, maybe that day, my performance in front of you was a little too 'exaggerated'."

When Maka said that word, she also ticked and put quotation marks in her hands. But in the twinkling of an eye, he suddenly put away his foolishness and straightened his head.

"But," he said calmly, "how do you know that I'm really not the 'Marca deHer'

When he said this, bano, the old housekeeper, was about to speak, but he saw that Marca waved her hand quickly.

"Don't think I don't know if you have investigated my life experience," he said with a hint. "If you want to find out who I am, hum, I advise you not to waste your time --"

After a self deprecating smile, Maka asked bluntly:

"Tell me! Why did you suddenly beg Charlotte?"

In those years, Maka used a "magic stone" that had already been destroyed to bluff the big family of the Witt family perfectly. Now they finally have a taste.

But even if I understand that Maka was mostly bluffing at that time, it's hard to get back now.

After all, no matter how to say, Maka is now a famous wizard in the global magic world, with no shortage of strength, background, reputation and relationships.

What's more, the "deal" about the magic stone is not something that can be put on the surface.

Therefore, the old owner of the Witt family had asked old Barnes and noble to control the situation within an acceptable range as far as possible without making a big deal with Hogwarts.

As for the way to deal with Maka, the old man only said one thing - don't fight him!

Seeing that Marca asked about the reasons of important people, housekeeper Barnes and noble secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Because this time he came to Hogwarts, he really only had the purpose of "taking Charlotte back".

It would be great if Marca could take the initiative to get up here.

"What else can I do," the old housekeeper said with a fake sigh, "maybe you remember that my young lady was already engaged. Just a few days ago, her engagement came to my Witt family in person and insisted that the young lady fulfill her agreement and marry him."

"Do you want to say..." Marca looked at her falsely, "you can't help it?"

"Well... My lady was engaged to him, but for you..."

Before Maka appeared, the old man had made enough tough statements. Now in the face of Maka, he put on the appearance of knowing with emotion and moving with reason.

Although he didn't finish his words, the meaning he wanted to convey was very clear.

To tell the truth, the old housekeeper is actually low-profile enough. Think about the past, who else could make him communicate so well except the old owner?

Unfortunately, for Marca, Charlotte is definitely impossible to hand it in again. At first, when his strength was still poor, he could bring his sister out of the dark Witt family. Now may he compromise?

"Housekeeper Barnes and noble," said Marca, shaking her head with a slight smile, "for your sake of being polite today, I won't say anything unpleasant. Go back and tell old Victor that if you can't refuse yourself, ask Charlotte's engagement to come directly to me!"

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 at her own will, I won't hinder it."

The Witt family doesn't want to make a big deal, and Maka won't take the initiative to provoke. It is not courage and persistence to openly antagonize an ancient wizard family without being forced, but sheer recklessness.

"Of course, if Charlotte doesn't want to go..."

Maka didn't finish her words, but after making her attitude clear, she spread her hand forward and signaled that the old man could go back to their master to reply.

The old housekeeper stared at Maka for a few more eyes, and finally gave up.

"I'll convey your meaning to the owner."
