At this moment, Maca was staring left and right at a beautiful envelope that had been opened. He felt that the most recent letters seemed to be more ornate than the other, and that the contents of them were correspondingly less simple.

This letter was just handed to him by Professor McGonagall.

Ever since he had mentioned the matter of little Delphi to Professor McGonagall, Maca could clearly feel the stunned in the other's heart. But in the end, Professor McGonagall was more in favor of his treatment, and it was clear that giving a better life to a baby who didn't know anything was something that every Hogwarts should choose.

However, instead of asking Scrimgeour what Hogwarts-led event he was planning to enable, Professor McGonagall placed an envelope with a ribbon and Pegasus in front of Maca.

On the closure of the letter, the bright red fire paint seal was quite conspicuous, and he knew at a glance that the letter was from the Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in France.

"Can I turn it on?"

Although Professor McGonagall had already handed it to him, it was natural that he should take a look at it. But the envelope clearly read "To Lady Minerva McGonagall", a personal letter, and he ought to have reconfirmed it as a courtesy.

"Of course, in fact, you were also mentioned in the letter—Madame Maxim thought it would be better for you to take a look at it too, after all, you were also one of the parties in the first place." Professor McGonagall motioned for him to open it and look.

"The parties? I? Maca thought for a moment, but didn't recall anything related to Beauxbatons and Madame Maxime, "That's rude......

As he spoke, he gently picked up the envelope that had been torn open and pulled out a piece of stationery from inside. The letter was neatly folded, and the material of the paper was quite flexible, as if every inconspicuous corner showed Beauxbatons' wealth and taste.

And when he unfolded the letter and took a quick look, a few key words on the letter immediately brought some of his memories back to vivid that had faded with time. He remembered that he had really tried to mix in a big thing that was small and small, and big but could become very big.

"Nick Lemay's legacy?" Maca suddenly said, "Oh, I almost forgot about it!" ”

Yes, when he was on his way to Paris with Lovegood, he did meet Nick Lemay's old butler at Beauxbatons, and happened to be involved in the conversation between him and Madame Maxime.

It's just that he was nowhere near as well-known as he is now, so he only acted as a neutral witness throughout the conversation.

But in the letter in front of her, Madame Maxim made it clear that she might be invited to join in and be one of the main candidates to explore Nick Lemay's alchemy laboratory.

From this, it can be seen that today's maca, at least in terms of magical strength, is quite convincing. It can even be said that in Lady Maxim's mind, she thinks that he is enough to complete the things that should have been done by Dumbledore in this event.

"I'll start by saying that I don't really have much research on alchemy." Maca put the letter down and took a small sip from the teacup she had at hand.

In the modern wizarding world, alchemy has long been no longer the mainstream magical discipline. Although it is actually quite easy to get started with this discipline, there is a rather fundamental obstacle to studying it in depth - the loss of inheritance.

With the exception of Nick Lemay, a particularly prominent great alchemist, it would be difficult to find another qualified alchemist.

And for some reason, the great alchemist rarely had academic communication with people, not even a single student. It was only Dumbledore's friend who had discussed some magical knowledge with him.

By now, Nick Lemay, who lived to be 665 years old, has also passed away, and the relatively complete alchemy inheritance in the entire wizarding world is probably only left in his alchemy laboratory.

Oh, just like the Werther family, maybe there are some ancient alchemy families in this world who are also hidden in the world playing mystery? Who knows?

"There are not many people who understand alchemy...... What do you think of this? Professor McGonagall shook her head slightly, and asked for the opinion of Maca, who had been one of the parties.

"Mr. Nick Lemay is to share the results of his life's work with the global wizarding community, and since Madame Maxime, who has a good relationship with Mr. Lemay, wants to avoid suspicion, then you and us Hogwarts will have to preside over this matter." Maka analyzed it for a moment, then spread her hands again, "For us at Hogwarts, this is pretty much the same as Mr. Scrimgart's offer to host the event. ”

"Yes." Professor McGonagall put down her teacup and said with some embarrassment, "And we're afraid we'll only have to choose one of them, can we?" If we take both of these things into our own arms, it will not be detrimental to the impact. ”

It seems that sometimes too many good things can become a difficult problem to choose.

"In terms of results, it must be that Nick Lemay's legacy is much more important," Maca also feels that it is really difficult to choose, "but correspondingly, higher returns usually come with higher risks, and if the legacy is not handled well, it ......"

"And that's not all...... Marca, Mr. Scrimgeour's side? Professor McGonagall gave him a questioning look, as if she was worried that he would not be able to refuse.

"No, then don't worry," said Maca, "the minister is shrewd! Whatever is good for him, he will definitely support it – the multi-school joint effort and Nick Lemay's legacy, and I think he will enthusiastically contribute to it. ”

Professor McGonagall nodded her head when Maca said this, clearly agreeing with him. But in this case, the problem seems to return to that dilemma.

Maca constantly weighs these two things, one has advantages and disadvantages, the other has only benefits but the impact is average, and this kind of option will always make people hesitate to move forward or seek stability.

Again, who would be happy to spit out the fat that almost reaches their mouths again?

After a while, when Maca noticed that the black tea in the cup had been drunk by him, he finally put the cup on the coaster and made a decision.

"Professor McGonagall, I think...... Maybe we can merge these two things a bit? "Originally, Mr. Scrimgeour was proposing to reopen the Potions Tournament, but I thought about it earlier, why don't we do an alchemy-based tournament instead?" ”

Although the inheritance has been lost in large quantities, it only means that it is difficult to find another alchemist like Mr. Nick Lemay. If we only talk about those relatively ordinary alchemical knowledge, there are still a lot of scattered remnants in this world, such as the tools in the hands of the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, most of which are small but practical alchemical products.

Even if it's no longer a mainstream discipline, because of its small part of everyday usefulness, there are things that even Fred and George can use in some of their mischief inventions.

"Alchemy's event?" Professor McGonagall pondered in her mind, and the more she thought about it, the more feasible she felt, "It would also help to revive everyone's interest in alchemy, and maybe attract some alchemists unknown to everyone...... Well, indeed a very worthwhile idea! ”

She already understood what Maca meant.

Perhaps when the time comes for the tournament to decide the champion, it will be the perfect time for them to reveal Nick Lemay's alchemical legacy.

"But in that case, wouldn't it be a bit ...... to let the students of the magic school participate in this competition," Professor McGonagall said suddenly, "You know, after all, alchemy is not within the scope of teaching in most schools now. ”

"I think ......," Maka said thoughtfully, "we should probably discuss this with Mr. Minister!" Anyway, the public issue of Nick Lemay's legacy can't be avoided by the International Federation of Wizards in any way, can it? ”

Nick Lemay's original intention was to use his own research results to raise the level of alchemy in the entire wizarding world, and the International Federation of Wizards must have taken such a good thing as a good thing. And what they have to do now is to stand firm in these big things and win more benefits for Hogwarts.

Maca's suggestion is quite bold, and if it succeeds, Hogwarts will take the opportunity to go further and stand taller, even if it is only one of the leading players. But in the end, it will be the International Federation of Wizards that will be the center of the incident, so if there is any mistake that leads to failure, it will also be the International Federation of Wizards who bears the main responsibility.

As long as you are careful not to be burdened by others when negotiating, the already high risk will be greatly reduced.

"You can give it a try," Professor McGonagall finally nodded after a long thought, "but there is no urgency, we can have Mr. Scrimgeour with us another day." ”

"Well," Maca nodded, "I'm sure he's going to be very interested." ”

Running Hogwarts is no easy task, and things like this need to be handled with great care. But Professor McGonagall is now the headmaster of Hogwarts, she will think about the future of Hogwarts, and if she can make the school that once took care of her go further, then Dumbledore did not believe her in vain.

After making this decision, both Professor McGonagall and Maca breathed a sigh of relief. The two of them picked up their teacups again to take a sip to moisten their throats, only to find that their respective cups were already empty.
