"Please don't say that, Headmaster Dumbledore. It's a great honour for me to be able to join a school of witchcraft and wizardry with such a long history and so many celebrities as Hogwarts......"

Maca didn't even glance at Umbridge when she said this.

"I went to school here not long ago, and if I want to have an affection for this school, I'm sure I'm no less than all the teachers and students here......" he said, turning to look at the students in the auditorium, "here, there are the courage and strength of the Gryffindors, the wisdom and acumen of the Ravenclaws, the shrewdness and confidence of the Slytherins......

"Of course, there are the Hufflepuffs that I personally admire the most, the kind of hard work and loyalty!"

Maca's speech was not interrupted by anyone, not even Umbridge, who was secretly hated.

Of course, Umbridge was not intimidated by Maca's accomplishments, and there was only one reason why she didn't speak again, and that was who Maca came here for-

He is a "special professor" at Durmstrang School of Magic and Wizardry.

As Dumbledore said, Maca was specially sent by Karkaroff to serve at Hogwarts to show the wizarding world the close friendship between Hogwarts and Durmstrang.

This is indeed the reason for Maca's arrival as a "special professor", but it is not the whole reason, just one of them.

In the long history of the wizarding world, it has been a rare but ever-present exchange for schools of magic to send people to each other.

But the biggest reason is not "maintaining friendship", but a stability maintenance behavior formulated by the International Federation of Wizards.

In other words, Maca was actually sent by the Department of Education under the International Federation of Wizards, and he can be said to have been completely "airborne", while the British Ministry of Magic, which was supposed to be sandwiched in the middle, was directly "skipped".

The timing of the nail was unusually precise and hard, and Umbridge couldn't interfere with him in any way.

On the other hand, Maca has the responsibility of overseeing the education situation at Hogwarts, and if he goes to report some "specific situation" to the Federation's Department of Education, it will definitely be the British Ministry of Magic who is unlucky.

Of course, this didn't actually do Maca any good, after all, if there were some negative situations, Hogwarts would be under pressure as well.

"It's been a long time since the Task Force system was in use, and even if Dumbledore was the current president of the International Confederation of Wizards, he wouldn't have the ability to manipulate the decisions of the council...... How exactly is this done? ”

Umbridge's face reappeared with a false smile, but he couldn't find an accurate answer to the question in his mind. Her sweet and greasy expression is indeed disgusting.

“…… As for the list of books you received, you can buy the book "The Mystery of Ancient Magic" at the library administrator's counter, and students who have not taken the Ancient Magic Script course can also buy it! ”

While Umbridge was still pondering, Maca's words had come to an end.

"Alright, I think you're almost done eating, and I'll have to fill my stomach while the table is still being cleaned up......," he shrugged, causing the young wizards to snicker, "Let Headmaster Dumbledore give you one final explanation!" ”

Before she could finish speaking, Maca nodded slightly to everyone, and then walked quickly to the empty seat in the faculty chair.

From beginning to end, he only said one word to Umbridge, but even so, his arrival brought a lot of jealousy to Umbridge.

"Well, I guess everyone is already starting to get sleepy, so I'll finish everything I need to say as soon as possible!" There was another burst of polite laughter from the audience.

"Quidditch Tryouts will be ......"

"McLean, it's not as easy and enjoyable as you think to teach a bunch of ignorant imps......"

As Maca battled the food for a moment, Snape, who was sitting next to her, said with a grin.

"I think so, Professor Snape......," Marca continued, swallowing the food in her mouth and taking another sip of grape juice, "that's why I chose to take up the position of the Magic Script, and they just had to memorize and recite and memorize and almost graduate." ”

He said, thought for a moment, and finally added, "Well, that's right, like in a history of magic class." ”

"Then why do you need to prepare your own textbooks?" Snape looked hesitant, "Wouldn't it be enough to use the existing textbooks?" ”

When Maca heard this, she couldn't help but smile: "The textbooks I prepared are not for students to learn...... Well, at least not necessarily to teach students. ”

He paused, lowered his voice again, and said mysteriously, "I showed it to the Education Department of the International Federation of Wizards - if there is no real thing, the identity of the task force will not be so easy to approve." ”

Here Maca was eating and talking with Snape, and at the Gryffindor table, Harry and the others were also talking about it. It's just that the content of what they talked about was much shallower.

"Hermione, what are you thinking?" Harry asked as he saw that Hermione seemed to be pondering.

"Huh?" Hermione came back to her senses and said thoughtfully, "From the behavior of Umbridge just now who rudely interrupted Dumbledore's speech, it can be seen that she must have some bad intentions when she is the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor this time......"

"I can see that...... Ron," Ron scratched his head, "but the point is, what does she want to do?" ”

"No, it's not 'she,' but the part of the 'force' she represents," Hermione said solemnly, "remember?" Maca said, "Volt ...... You know, 'that man' has set up a pawn in the Ministry of Magic......"

“…… I'm wondering if this Umbridge is ...... One of the chess pieces. ”

Probably because he didn't have time to worry about the previous awkwardness right now, Harry and Ron subconsciously glanced at each other, and a sense of crisis permeated the air.

"We don't need to be too nervous," Hermione immediately comforted, "Obviously, Maca and Dumbledore have been prepared for this for a long time - this time Maca suddenly became our professor, and it must be some kind of coping plan." ”

"So......" Harry hesitated, "should we do something about it?" ”

At that moment, there was a chaotic collision around them, and it was clear that this was because Dumbledore had announced the dissolution.

Everyone stood up and was about to leave.

Hermione jumped to her feet suddenly, with a rare look of panic, her eyes constantly wandering in all directions.

"Ron, it's time for us to show the way for our first-year students!"

"Ahh Oh, you're right! Ron jumped to his feet, "Hey—hey!" Everyone...... That one...... Little ones! ”

"Ron!"

"Ahem, I'm not wrong...... They are so small! ”

"Then you can't-" Hermione sorted out her thoughts and put on a steady expression, "First year, please go this way!" Follow me—"

……

The Ancient Magic Lesson's office was located on the fifth floor of the main castle, and the Ancient Demonic Classroom's classroom was also located on the same floor, with the two rooms only half a corridor apart.

If you come out of the office, pass the classroom, and walk a little further on, you will see the Hogwarts library around the corner.

At this moment, as the students were heading to the common rooms of the colleges, Maca headed to her office empty-handed, just as she had arrived in the auditorium.

I don't know exactly how Professor Babling had set up her office, but at least Maca didn't have the heart to dress up her room.

In addition to the necessary household utensils, his office is occupied by bookshelves and books, documents and notebooks.

Whoever walks into this office will smell a reassuring scent of ink.

Unconsciously, Maca's habits seem to become more and more similar to Rowena Ravenclaw. Just as Maca had when she entered Royna's secret room, his office felt like a private study stuffed with books.

He had just sat down at the back of his desk, and before he could savor what it was like to be a professor, he suddenly felt a slight wave of magic power coming from outside the door.

"Tuk Tuk"

There was a polite knock on the office door.

"Please come in."

As the door opened slightly, a touch of pale gold immediately entered Maca's pupils.

"Luna!"

A gentle smile appeared on Maca's face.

"Hello! Professor McLean ...... "Luna's misty silver eyes blinked slightly, and her soft voice passed through the sea of books in the office, as if it also had a touch of earthy charm.

"Yes, I'm your professor now!" Maca smiled lightly, "Although I haven't looked at the list of students who have chosen the magic class, I remember, you should be one of them, right?" ”

"I love ancient runes, and every letter in them has a mystical meaning – and Dad loves it too!" Luna said in a trance.

"Well, Mr. Lovegood has published some runes in Contradictory Tunes, and I did read them—" Marca nodded, beckoning to Luna again, "Don't stand still, come and sit down for a while!" ”

Luna staggered over to her desk with her hands behind her back as if she were on a walk, and on the other side of the wall, a chair was huddled among the piles of books.

She sat down cautiously, then put her hands in front of her from behind her back, and showed what she was holding to Maca.

"My dad and I picked out a gift for you to celebrate your job." Luna said, showing a faint smile, "Dad also said thank you for providing him with an interesting piece of news. ”
