Chapter 992

"Cough... Friend?"

"Mr. McLean, cough... Go and do what you should do!"

At that time, the wizard in dark windbreaker just kept coughing and left in a hurry after leaving such two words at random.

In that slightly indifferent tone, Maka even heard an inexplicable irony.

Of course, he could feel that he was not the object of the other party's satire, Marca McLean. If you have to say it, it may be more like a kind of self mockery.

After the mysterious wizard left, although Maka wanted to catch up secretly to see who the other party was. But the man's last sentence was really good - he did have one thing to do at the moment.

This time, Haier Bo took the initiative to appear, no doubt to prevent Maka from moving forward. In other words, the gray shadow sweeping away at high altitude is very important to Haier Bo.

Therefore, whether Haier Bo cares about the place where the gray shadow goes or the gray shadow itself. Anything halber doesn't want him to find must be worth pursuing.

Therefore, Maka can only put down her hesitation about the mysterious wizard and search all the way along the direction of the original gray shadow.

It's a pity. Why else did Haier Bo leave safely later! No matter how hard Marca looked for it, he had to return to black's old house the next morning with nothing.

……

"Good morning, Mr. McLean... Do you need breakfast?"

In the hall to meet Marca, it was still Lena who got up early and worked hard.

It is reasonable to say that at this point, even the sky outside is just dawn. Most people are sleeping in bed! But she had got up, took a cloth duster to clean the dust, and wholeheartedly cleaned the front hall of the old house, which could not see where it was dirty.

"Don't worry, just follow the usual rhythm! I have to tidy up my thoughts..." Marca said as she walked in, "Oh, just call me in the reception room at breakfast time."

"OK."

In Lena's usual calm response, Maka's figure disappeared from the deepest door of the front hall.

To be honest, compared with Maka's busy life, Lena's life can really be called "light as water". After getting up every day, in addition to cleaning and cooking three meals, the most is to take care of the children who are not very dependent on others.

Of course, the only exception is her sister, little noisy and haunted Lenny.

After cleaning the front hall and the corridor on the first floor, Lena put away the cleaning tools.

Because she can't use magic spells, she basically does everything with her own hands, and she can see that she seems to enjoy it.

After cleaning up the utility room a little, Lena washed her hands and planned to go upstairs to wash all the clothes the children had changed last night.

Some older children wash by themselves, but some younger ones need her help. It's all easy to do when washing clothes for her sister. Lena naturally takes the work into her own hands. It's like this every day, which has almost become her habit.

But today, when she came out of the utility room and passed in front of Maka's reception room, Lena suddenly stopped walking towards the stairs.

But she seemed to hesitate a little in the corridor at the door. After a little thinking, she took two steps forward, but then she turned back and walked back.

"Dudu."

There was a knock on the door with Lena's formality, and Maka's answer mixed with some questions soon came out of the door.

"Please come in?"

She opened the door, just stepped into the door and stopped again.

"Mr. McLean, my tired robes and boots are a little dirty. Do you need me to wash them for you?" Lena asked softly. "Of course, if I disturb your thinking, please allow me to apologize."

"Well?"

Maka, who was lying in front of the conference table with one hand on her notebook, listened to her. Subconsciously, she looked down at her clothes and shoes. Suddenly, he saw some dust and stains on it.

Recently, he has been walking around the city of London. It is inevitable that he will dirty his clothes in some dirty and wet alleys. Now he really needs to be cleaned.

But for a qualified wizard, washing clothes is almost unnecessary.

As long as one or two magic spells or a bottle of potion lotion, any stubborn stains can be removed easily, and the clothes can be refreshed in a twinkling of an eye.

However, in this way, it is convenient, but occasionally it makes people feel as if something is missing.

Especially wizards like Maka, who are purely Muggle born.

Since entering Hogwarts, the students' clothes have been quietly cleaned by domestic elves when they sleep. Over time, people often miss the special smell of soap mixed with sunshine.

"Won't it take you too much time?"

"Of course not."

"Oh, please go out first. I'll change it here for you..."

"OK," Lena said immediately when she saw that Marca began to take out the clean clothes she was going to change. "Just put them on the next chair."

"Well, thank you."

How many years has it been since someone helped wash clothes?

Looking at Lena nodding, she walked out of the reception room and helped him close the door. Maka couldn't help feeling that it was a valuable decision to keep the sisters here.

However, Lena, who had just waited outside the door for a few seconds, was suddenly stunned.

"... the potatoes should be almost ready."

Originally, she should have gone upstairs to pick up the dirty clothes and stopped by to turn off the fire after coming down. But today's temporary idea of washing clothes for Marca still slightly disrupted her usual habits.

But not long after Lena turned back and walked to the kitchen, there was a sudden rush of footsteps on the stairs not far away, and someone came down.

"Lena? Lena... Have you seen where Lenny's favorite pair of pink socks are? Lenny can't find -"

With the sound of pounding, a petite figure rushed down from the building, with bare feet. When she passed the reception room, the closed door stopped her running.

"Why is the door closed? Is Sirius back?"

While muttering to herself, Lenny unscrewed the doorknob without knocking, pushed open the door and broke in.

"Ah --"

"Ah, what ah!"

Maka just took off her pants and rushed in at Lenny.

"Because you're taking off your clothes... Take off your pants!" Lenny pointed to Marca's pants and said confidently, "Mrs. Weasley said that girls should shout if they encounter this situation!"

"Mrs. Weasley?"

Hearing Lenny's words, Maka couldn't help laughing.

He can still remember when he met the werewolf sisters. Now, after such a long time, who expected that the little girl had changed so much?

Although there are some common sense things, Lenny doesn't seem to really understand.

"Did Mrs. Weasley tell you not to run around the house in her pajamas?" Marca motioned to her powdered pajamas and said, "see, I'm wearing pants!"

In fact, Marca had changed her clothes before Lenny opened the door. Just now he was just tidying up the dirty clothes he had just changed.

When Lenny stood at the door with a look of "what about wearing pants", another voice suddenly sounded from behind her, startling her.

"What's the matter? It was noisy early in the morning... Marca? Why are you here?"

But lupin came in from Lenny on his side. He was surprised when he saw Maka's figure.

"Wasn't yesterday Hogwarts' back to school day? You didn't go back last night?"

"Yes!"

Maka nodded when she saw lupin asking.

"I made a new discovery yesterday evening and met with Haier Bo again... I'm actually hesitating whether I should go to Hogwarts to continue my classes this spring semester."

"Did you do it?"

Lupin immediately asked, but Maka didn't hide it and simply told him about the situation.

"... although the position was a little biased at that time, and they were still hand in hand at high altitude, someone would always see it. I guess dunger's information should be sent in a moment."

After a little explanation, Maka turned to say:

"But this is not the most important thing. The key is that after that, I still can't find what I want to find."

"Do you need Lenny's help? Lenny is good at looking for things!"

Lenny, who listened to the conversation back and forth, suddenly interrupted, but was rejected by Maka with a smile - the werewolf is good at tracking and searching, but he didn't find it himself. It must be useless only by the werewolf's smell and perception.

"In short, whether it's this new cable or some accidents in the next two months, it will take a lot of time and energy. I'm wondering if I should leave temporarily..."

Looking at Maka's own expression, there was a little hesitation, and lupin was even harder to say.

You know, he resigned when he left Hogwarts. Now he doesn't know whether to persuade Maka to go back or stay here to concentrate on dealing with Haier Bo.

"Well..."

Suddenly, Maka thought about the time and couldn't help muttering:

"In more than an hour, everyone should get up and be ready to go to the auditorium for breakfast?"

Unconsciously, Hogwarts's life seemed to become far away.
