"Sirius, these two people will be left to you for the time being... But you also have tasks here. If you can't spare them, I suggest someone send them to Lupine. In short, I have them under control.

, nothing should happen."

"Well, okay, I know what to do."

In Diagon Alley, Maka was having a conversation with Sirius, discussing some of the next countermeasures.

In fact, not only Sirius, but Maka himself also has a lot of things to do, especially since he must go back to Hogwarts as soon as possible to see how Harry's situation is.

While Maka and Sirius were discussing, Hermione and the other four also went to Tonks' side and solemnly apologized for tricking her and for leaving without saying goodbye.

However, with Tonks' temper, how could she easily blame them? It didn't take long for the relationship between several young people of similar age to become much closer.

Tonks was even secretly thinking about whether she should have a few more pairs of groomsmen and bridesmaids when she and Lupine got married, and bring all these lovely juniors and juniors with them.

However, it is obviously not the time to relax now, especially since they don't know yet that Ron and Ginny's family members are actually safe.

"Okay, Sirius and I have finished talking...is it okay with you guys?"

After a while, Maka came over from the other side of the street and greeted the four of them:

"If there is nothing very important, I think we can keep going! If we can find Fred and George in St. Mungo's, maybe you will still have time to visit Neville's parents and grandma

Believe me, he will definitely be happy for your appearance."

"Oh, of course!" Hermione said immediately, "That's what we planned too."

"Well," Maka nodded, then waved her hand and said, "Then let's go! I hope they"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly turned his head and looked towards the courtyard wall of the Leaky Cauldron. Then, a familiar figure quickly walked in from there.

"Kingsley?"

"Oh, Maka, you are indeed here..."

But when Kingsley quickly stepped into Diagon Alley and saw Maka, he took off his hat, wiped some sweat on his bald head, and let out a sigh of relief.

Since there was currently no way to apparate in London, he was really exhausted from rushing back from Hogwarts as soon as possible.

"It seems that you already know what I want to say." Without taking a moment to rest, Kingsley immediately came over and said, "Then you see, we should take action against those black people who suddenly appeared in London.

What about the wizard?"

"Well," Maka heard this and pointed at the two Haierbo apprentices who were still in the corner, "What should I do? You can ask them first... When I came here just now, I

Caught a few."

As he was speaking, he suddenly glanced at the young witch who had been standing silently aside, and gestured:

"As for that one...although she may not have any direct connection with Haierbo, her sister is the same as those two people, and she is also the so-called 'apprentice'. I met her sister on the street corner in front of the Leaky Cauldron.

, depending on the situation at the time, her sister might have planned to attack Diagon Alley again at that time."

"Oh?" Kingsley nodded immediately and said, "Where is that person?"

But when he asked this, Maka could only shrug.

"Before, I temporarily handed her over to my spiders to take her away and keep her under guard. Now... I think you know the habits of spiders. They always like to crawl into corners where no one goes."

"Okay then!" Kingsley also spread his hands, then turned and said to Sirius, "It's up to you to continue guarding here. I will be responsible for taking these people away. In addition, Lupin will take care of him after a while.

Someone will be arranged to take over for you, and then you can have a little rest..."

Seeing that Kingsley had already discussed the follow-up work with Sirius, Maka had nothing to say, so after saying hello to them again, she took Hermione and others to the Leaky Cauldron.

go.

When they came to the streets of London again, they could see that the fog in the city was still so thick. Looking at it, it seemed as if the whole world had returned to chaos again.

To be honest, even though this mist does not seem to cause any physical damage, it can make people feel very uncomfortable psychologically.

Fortunately, Hermione and the others had joined Maka at this moment, and with a reassuring support, everyone felt a lot more relaxed without even realizing it.

Not to mention, the good news that Harry might have come out of the Room of Requirement really cheered them up a lot.

St. Mungo's is not far away from here, and in a short time, a few people have already walked halfway.

"Well?"

Suddenly, Luna seemed to hear some strange noise again, and tilted her head in confusion. She tilted her head and looked around, as if she was very confused by the vague sound.

She remembered that she had heard a sound similar to this in the black market... So what was it?

"What's wrong?"

Maka soon noticed Luna's slightly strange look, and immediately turned her head and asked.

"Well, it's nothing," Luna pursed her lips and thought about it, "I just seemed...to hear something?"

As soon as he said this, Maka suddenly followed suit for a moment, then raised his head and looked towards the other end of the street. His bright and deep eyes seemed to penetrate the endless fog and reach the end of the road.

.

And at the next moment, a slight movement suddenly came from a distance, and this time even Hermione and the others heard it. And it must be said that this sound felt particularly familiar to them.

"It's a carriage!" Ron suddenly said, "That's absolutely right, that's the sound of a carriage again!"

As soon as the words fell, Maka and the four of them stopped at the same time and stood on the side of the road to wait for a while. Then, as expected, they saw two Pegasus dragging a black carriage carriage, kicking

Speeding past on this street.

The carriage was traveling very fast, but even so, the emblem on the carriage door still clearly showed the narrow blue eye, making it difficult for people to ignore it after seeing it once.

"It looks like... we are heading towards the black market?" Hermione thought for a while and said hesitantly.

"That should be true," Maka nodded, "I hope it is the old head of the Witte family who is calling them back, otherwise, I think the Witte family may be in bad shape this time."

"What do you mean?" Hermione asked immediately.

Maka explained casually while watching the carriage pass by in a hurry:

"The Werther family was controlled by Haierbo last time... Of course, he actually had other intentions. After discovering that this family was no longer needed, he decisively abandoned the Werther family and left."

"Ah!" After hearing this, Hermione couldn't help but said in a daze, "This means that the reason why those wizards held back before...maybe because Haierbo tried to control them to do things for him again this time, but they have already

Are you no longer willing to cooperate?"

Maka listened to Hermione's speculation and finally curled her lips and said:

"Anyway, this is just a guess on my part at the moment... You have to understand that the Witte family is a family with the inheritance of ancient wizards after all. No one knows whether they still have some real strength and heritage. So, everything

Conjectures are just conjectures. As for the actual situation, we will have to wait until we continue to learn more about it before we can know it."

As he was talking, Hermione suddenly seemed to think of something and couldn't help but ask in a low voice:

"I remember, Charlotte's surname is 'Witt', right? This Werther family, could it be said that"

"Well, it's Charlotte's family," Maka didn't hide anything and answered her directly, "Of course, Charlotte has already left her family... I believe that no matter what happens to the Werther family in the end, she

She doesn’t have too many thoughts. Only her father who doesn’t want to leave the family..."

Just as Maka shook her head and said no more, she waved her hand and prepared to lead them to St. Mungo's. But at this moment, everyone suddenly stopped in their steps.

"Huh?" Ron then looked back in shock and said, "Again?"

It turned out that everyone heard the sound of the carriage driving and suddenly stopped behind them. Then, just like in the black market before, they turned around and rushed back towards them again!

Maka turned around when she heard the sound, and pulled Hermione, Luna and others behind her, her brows frowning slightly.

The carriage left quickly and came back just as quickly. Not long after, everyone saw the two flying horses snorting and stopping on the side of the road with their hooves, letting the carriage stop steadily.

in front of them.

Immediately afterwards, the carriage door was quickly pushed open from the inside, and a figure of Maka, who was not yet a stranger, leaned half of his body out of the carriage.

"Mr. McClain...well, if my brain hasn't become less and less useful with age, you should be Charlotte's classmate, the Maka McClain, right?"

"

Unexpectedly, Maka had just mentioned this man to Hermione, and now the man had appeared in front of her. There was no doubt that this was Mr. Norman Witt, Charlotte's father.

But for some reason, the other party was obviously wary of everything around him. He didn't even get off the carriage, he just leaned out and looked around cautiously.

Of course, no matter which direction he looked, he could only see a gray scene.

"I think sir's memory is still very good," Maka didn't move and just stood there, "I am the same Maka McClain back then... It seems that sir has something important to do with me?"
