Chapter 1253

"Bang bang."

At the door of a slightly old house, Mrs. Parkinson knocked on the closed door. Soon, I heard a slight sound of footsteps in the room, and the door opened gently.

Then, a girl who looked a little thin looked timidly at the door.

"Is Mr. nott there? I'm Vanessa Parkinson. I have something to talk to him about."

The girl looked at the dignified and luxurious Vanessa at the door. After hesitating, she whispered:

"Sorry... The owner hasn't seen anyone for more than a year."

"Hmm?" Vanessa immediately raised her eyebrows. "It's nott's business to see. Who are you? Can you decide for him?"

"Ah... Yes, I'm sorry."

The girl was so scolded by her that she quickly shrunk her neck and apologized.

"I see. I'm going to ask the owner... Please, please wait a minute."

After that, the girl was probably a little stunned and closed the door with a bang.

"Tut."

Vanessa looked at the heavy and closed door and couldn't help smacking her tongue. There was a trace of unhappiness in her eyes.

"If it weren't for that McLean to owe a favor, I wouldn't even come to this broken place!"

With such a murmur, Vanessa glanced impatiently at the house - the mossy brick walls, the front yard lawn and flower beds that she didn't take care of at first glance all showed how down-to-earth the owner of the house was.

However, Mr. nott, like her Parkinson's family, belongs to one of the twenty-eight sacred families. Even the original "pure blood list" was written by Mr. nott's father.

It's really sad for a pure blood family to be in this state today.

A moment later, the door of nott's house slowly opened again, and then Vanessa saw the little girl who had bowed respectfully to herself.

"Mrs. Parkinson, please come in -"

"Hum."

Vanessa did not look at her, but snorted and went straight inside. Seeing this, the girl hurried to catch up after closing the gate.

"Mrs. Parkinson, this way, please... The owner is waiting for you in the living room."

In fact, it's no wonder Vanessa despises it, because there is a big gap between this house and her Parkinson's house. In fact, this is not the house inherited by the nott family at all. The original manor has long been sold.

It was only a few steps. Soon Vanessa was led by the little girl to the living room. Then she saw a tall but thin figure standing by the window waiting.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, he reached the living room. Mr. nott immediately turned around and nodded slightly in the direction of Mrs. Parkinson.

"It's a great honor for my wife to visit nott's house... My daughter is afraid of strangers since childhood. Maybe she has neglected her. Please forgive her."

Mr. nott said, reaching out to the sofa in the middle of the living room and leading:

"Please sit down... Joey, go and make tea and snacks for your wife."

"There's no need for dessert," said Vanessa, sitting down on the sofa impolitely. "Nott... Speaking of it, we are also old classmates... You are the same age as my husband and higher than me. In terms of family background, you're not much different from our Parkinson's family... I don't think you need to be too polite."

"How about that," Mr. nott smiled slightly reluctantly. "Madam, actually... What's the matter with you here? You'd better say it directly!"

As he spoke, he also sat down not far away, but his looks and actions seemed a little... How to say? Dead?

To tell the truth, although Vanessa looked down on nott, she also understood why the other party was in such a weak state.

I think more than ten years ago, nott was quite high spirited. Because at that time, like Lucius of the Malfoy family, he was one of the few death eaters in the pure blood family who followed Voldemort as the owner.

However, once Voldemort was defeated, the power of Death Eaters also disintegrated, and many death eaters were captured and imprisoned in Azkaban.

Yes, he's not as lucky as Lucius.

For so many years, he has been locked up in Azkaban, tasting the despair of losing happiness forever. It was not until Maka went to Azkaban that he was taken out together and liberated from the terrible prison.

Because of the rescue of Azkaban and Voldemort's comeback, nott thought he could climb with Voldemort as he did in the past. This time, he even made up his mind to let the nott family come out of the brink of extinction.

But who knows, Voldemort lost again before he could show his fist!

As a Death Eater, after Voldemort died in Hogwarts' vestibule, he immediately withdrew to his poor home. He was worried every day that people from the order of the Phoenix or the Ministry of magic would come and take him away, and then put him back in the eternal Azkaban to accompany the Dementors.

However, no one has come to him for more than a year... It seems that he has been forgotten by everyone. He can't say whether he should be happy or sad.

When nott was silent after asking a question, Vanessa immediately said:

"Well, since you don't seem to need useless greetings, forget it. After all, I don't have much time to beat around the bush. In fact, I'm here to ask you for something."

After a little meal, she continued:

"I remember when Voldemort was trying to control the Ministry of magic, he sent you to the prophecy Hall of the Department of mystery affairs to find a prophecy ball, didn't he?"

"Well?"

When nott heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then he gently nodded his head.

"Yes, a prophecy about Voldemort hitting his old enemy... What's the matter?"

"As far as I know, if you go to the prophecy hall, you must go through the time hall," said Vanessa. "Did you take the 'time converter' there?"

"Time converter?" nort shook his head immediately. "Although that thing is cherished, it has no use value and is inconvenient to sell... What do I want it to do?"

"You didn't take it?" Vanessa frowned, but quickly said, "what about you? Did anyone take it among the Death Eaters you went with?"

"Do you want a time converter?" nott recalled and said after a while, "well, Voldemort said he could take some 'souvenirs' away... Although I didn't see it, someone might go to get it."

"Really?" Vanessa listened, even when her eyes lit up, "who were the people going at that time? Tell me... And think about who is most likely to get the time converter... If the information provided is accurate, you will benefit!"

In the current situation of the Notts, the "benefits" promised by the Parkinson family are quite attractive. As soon as Mr. nott heard this, he immediately buried himself in thought.

However, he thought more than who was with him at that time. He was thinking about the reason why Vanessa wanted a time converter.

Although nott first asked the other party to say things directly, he could feel that Vanessa seemed to want this thing in a hurry.

"Is it difficult..." he thought to himself, "what are the major interests here?"

With a little care, nott couldn't help paying more attention to it. He was thinking that if he could find out why Vanessa was looking for a time converter, he might be able to take the unknown benefit into his own hands.

To be honest, the Notts need a better turn than the Parkinson's! After all, if we continue to be so lonely, the family will really be finished.

"Let me think, think about it..."

Vanessa was not aware of nott's mind hidden under weakness. In her opinion, it was easy to grasp a poor pure blood family.

……

Obviously, Mrs. Parkinson didn't expect Maka to come back from London so soon. In her opinion, since London is so chaotic, even Maka may not be able to come and go easily.

So while she was outside trying to find the time converter without trace, Maka had appeared near Parkinson's house.

"Professor McLean, you're back... Ah, and father!"

When Marca hurried back to Parkinson's house, he found pansy standing at the door waiting. As soon as she saw Maka coming back, pansy hurried to meet her.

"Where's your mother?"

Marca asked immediately before Mr. Parkinson, the father, spoke first.

"She... She said she had something to do and wanted to find someone, so she went out soon after you left." pansy whispered while opening the door for Marca and her father, "but she said she should be back soon."

"Oh?" Marca thought. "You said she went out after I left?"

"That's right," pansy said.

Although Vanessa's behavior seemed somewhat unknown to Maka, each other's every move seemed to have a purpose.

Are you looking for a time converter?

Although he was annoyed with pansy's mother's previous "deception", if he could really get the time converter from the other party, he wouldn't bother to care so much.

"So did she say where she was going?"

"That's not true," pansy shook his head. "Professor McClane, wait here first! Well, and father, sit down for a while... I'll make some black tea for you."

Watching pansy turn and leave, Maka sighed - is that what she's doing and wait?
