Chapter 1121 Home That Doesn't Belong To My Own

? Pansy's failure cannot be said to be her fault. Because as far as her awakening is concerned, it can even be said to be a welcome change.

So, it's all about timing, isn't it?

No, at least Maca believed that he had to blame himself for the failure of this espionage operation - if he could have planned Pansy's change in advance, or found out in time when he received Kingsley's secret letter If there is a problem, maybe there will be more room for maneuver in this matter.

Yes, it's not that he didn't have the opportunity to think about it, it's just... he was negligent.

Of course, the plan of getting Pansy to approach Martin was, in the end, just one of Maca's many ideas to deal with Hai Erbo. It's great to succeed, but if you fail, there's no need to worry about it.

If there is no possibility of remedy, it is better to let go of this mess as soon as possible, and hurry up to think about other means.

Seeing Ron and the others joking with each other, Maca couldn't help showing a relaxed smile.

Although he didn't say it, he had already decided in his heart when he got the original "Book of Sin" - none of these good friends who can talk, laugh, care for each other and grow together can few.

However, just when Maca thought of "growing up together", Hermione finally took the initiative to come over.

"Maka, what Parkinson said just now... when did you let her do those things? That sounds...too dangerous!"

From the point of view of "Gryffindor and Slytherin are feuds", Hermione is definitely not a typical lion cub. Because even if the object is Slytherin, as long as the other party needs it, she will also lend a helping hand to him.

Not to mention, what Pansy said before had actually made Hermione subconsciously approve of her.

Perhaps, among the people present, she was the only one who truly carried out the slogan "We are all Hogwarts" that Maca said at the beginning.

However, Maca could only smile wryly in his heart when faced with Hermione's words that were obviously complaining about Pan Xi.

"I did that for a reason, but because it's related to Miss Parkinson's reputation, I can't explain too much to you. In short, you can rest assured that since this time has been considered a failure, I probably won't let you She did those things!"

"Oh... really?" Hermione pursed her lips, stared at him for a while, and then said dissatisfiedly,

"Since you've already said that, I won't ask any more questions..."

Her actions were naturally not out of suspicion of Maca. After all, from a long time ago, she decided not to doubt Maca's decision.

Therefore, her dissatisfaction was more just to remind Maca—this was another matter that was by no means small, and she hadn't even mentioned it to them!

Aware of Hermione's dissatisfaction, Maca couldn't help but smiled apologetically.

But he also knew that Hermione was just playing tricks. You know, what Pansy is doing is the work of a spy, and it is only natural that it needs to be kept secret.

"Okay! If you know what you say, you will know it, but remember not to pass it on inadvertently! Now the task on Parkinson's side cannot be said to be over like this. I have to think again. to decide."

Having said that, he turned his head and gestured:

"Stop joining in the fun at my place, go do what you need to do... Oh, that's right! Luna, after class is over in the afternoon, you can come to my place again, and you can continue with what happened last time."

"Oh?"

Luna, who had been standing at the back all the time, was called out by him, she immediately blinked her big eyes, thought for a while, and then said:

"Oh!"

Hermione, who was near, heard it, and the corners of her mouth drooped immediately.

"What happened last time?"

When Maca heard this, she spread her hands very calmly, and said bluntly:

"Interrogation of hostages."

The "hostage" he mentioned, of course, refers to the basilisk currently entangled in his sleeve.

The matter of this basilisk...or, the matter of this very rare blood curse host may be more important to Maca than Pansy's mission. Because judging from the last time he let Luna communicate with him, the other party obviously had some uncooperative situations.

For example, when Maca asked Luna to ask who she was looking for, she refused to reveal even half a word.

However, the more she refused to say something, the more Maca wanted to know—maybe it was a big secret related to Hai Erbo?

For this reason, he did not hesitate to spare some time for researching magic, and specially prepared a specially enhanced version of Veritaserum.

"Okay, okay, stop staring at me like that!" Looking at the pair of eyes in front of her, Maca had to shake her head and said, "If you are interested, you can also come with Luna at that time ...But, Hermione, forget it, I still remember that you also have a mission!"

Arranging the rune pattern for the entire Hogwarts is not easy.

Hearing his reminder, Hermione had no choice but to flatten her mouth and reluctantly agreed. After all, no matter what, the task at hand was something she asked for on her own initiative during the date!

...

Pan Xi's mission is now over.

Although the failure was an unchangeable fact, and the direct cause of the failure was indeed her choice, Maca didn't blame her for it.

I have to say that her luck lies in the fact that she followed a reasonable person.

On the other hand, her new good friend Yi Luli was obviously not as lucky as her.

At lunch time, the moment Pansy returned to the Hogwarts auditorium, Iluli, whose footsteps were a little flimsy due to the forced use of goblin magic, also just returned to her "home".

Although this "home" does not belong to her, it is also the place where she was born from her mother's womb and grew up slowly.

Therefore, when the mother who worked for the master passed away due to illness, she naturally inherited her mother's identity and became a maid in the manor.

Maybe it's because of her natural industriousness and obedience! Although that master has a bad temper, other servants will often be punished by her, but it rarely falls on Iluli.

Not only that, maybe her work is at least better than others, and she can often understand the master's thoughts in advance. When she was fifteen or sixteen years old, she stood out from more than ten maids and became the only head maid in the master's manor.

But, of course, even if she was promoted to be the head maid, there would never be less reprimands and scoldings that were commonplace.

She knew that her master's temper was like this, and he would feel uncomfortable without a few words of training every day. She has long been used to this.

However, the blame she will receive today is probably not as simple as scolding.

As a servant who grew up in the manor, no matter how unpleasant the master is, she will still have feelings for it. Therefore, she is not dissatisfied with what she does here, and she completes her work meticulously every day.

If there is anything that makes her feel painful, it must be the jealousy and discrimination of other servants towards her.

But it is such a head maid who has worked hard since she was a child, but today she is still dereliction of duty after all. It is conceivable how angry the owner, who is used to letting her take care of the daily life every day, will be at this moment.

A painful punishment is obviously indispensable.

Thinking of this, Yi Luli's slightly sluggish footsteps suddenly stopped, and then dragged her weak legs and continued to walk along the path in the front yard.

To be honest, the manor where Iluli was born looks beautiful.

A large number of flowers and trees are planted on the well-trimmed lawn of the front yard; and a building with a green roof and white walls can be seen faintly between the gaps in the dense canopy.

Winding along the cobblestone path on the lawn, after bypassing the lush green trees, you can completely take in the villa with many green vines climbing on the wall.

Under the clear sky, it looks extraordinarily beautiful.

And in the backyard of this villa, there is a servant's residence built separately from this building, where Iluli grew up.

It's a pity that after becoming the head maid, she never lived there again.

Slightly pursing her dry lips, Yi Luli put aside those not-so-happy childhood memories in her heart, and stopped at the door of Biezhuang, she stretched out her hand and gently pushed the door open.

"Iluli... are you back?"

As soon as the door was opened, before she even went in, she heard a familiar voice from the front hall. She knew that it was also a maid, and she was almost her companion who grew up with her.

But it happened to be this childhood playmate, but now I can't see Yi Luli the most, and sarcastic remarks every day seem to be all the fun in her life.

Yi Luli didn't even know when the bud of jealousy in the other party's heart was born.

"Well, I'm back."

She responded softly, and didn't care about the schadenfreude in the other party's tone. After turning around and closing the door, she asked directly:

"Rose, where is the master now?"

"Oh, are you in such a hurry to be scolded and punished?" The maid she called Rose lowered her head and brushed the corners of her clothes without raising her head, "Hmph, I don't know where the master is... Maybe it's in the greenhouse ?”

"thanks."

Iluli thanked her faintly, and immediately raised her legs and walked towards the side door of the front hall—from Rose's answer, at least the owner is definitely not in the greenhouse now, so it can be ruled out there.

Immediately, after thinking about it based on her usual experience, she went straight to the young master's study.
