Chapter 134: Before and After the Dinner Party

Recently, frequent emergencies have made Maca's sense of crisis more than ever. Even though his strength has exceeded everyone's expectations, he himself does not have any sense of security at all.

Just an inexplicable Pettigrew, Peter Pettigrew, made him go to great lengths, not to mention, the person who made Peter look like that was most likely Voldemort.

As for how Voldemort will appear, and what strange powers he has gained, Maca has no idea in his heart.

He only knew that Voldemort's strength had definitely exceeded his greatest expectations.

Things are moving in an unknown direction, and the unknown is always unsettling.

For this reason, Maca gave up a lot of non-critical research projects and devoted her energy to those goals that would allow her to grow as quickly as possible.

But how can magic be a quick fix?

The holidays are approaching again, but this time, Maca only plans to stay at Hogwarts and allocate all her time to the progress of her research.

However, this holiday, which was already destined to be boring, became ...... because of some "unexpected surprises" for Maca Belch...... At least it won't be that boring.

On the last day of the semester, the exam results were announced.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione passed every class - Harry didn't even expect him to pass the Potions exam.

He suspected that Dumbledore had intervened to prevent Snape from getting along with him. Because in the last week, Snape's attitude towards Harry was rather frightening.

Harry couldn't have imagined that Snape's boredom with him had grown, but that was the way it was. Every time Snape saw Harry, a muscle around his thin lips writhed unpleasantly, and he snapped his knuckles as if he wanted to choke Harry's throat.

Percy passed the N.E.W.T. exam, while Fred and George both managed to scrape together an O.W.L. certificate.

At the same time, Gryffindor House was largely due to its outstanding performance in Quidditch matches, with the final banquet decorated in scarlet and gold.

It also meant that the tables in Gryffindor House were more lively, and almost everyone was celebrating. Even Harry was eating, drinking, talking, and laughing with everyone, forgetting that he was going back to Dursley's house the next day.

And when it comes to the Dursleys, it is inevitable to mention Sirius Black.

After Maca asked Harry to take them to Lupin's office, Harry and Blake, who was lying in bed, finally met.

With Lupin and Blake telling him, Harry was surprised to learn something about his parents' deaths.

And when Harry realized that the person who betrayed his parents was Peter Pettigrew, he was furious—who could bear the hero he had always admired was the real culprit who caused the death of both his parents?

However, this thing is really not very easy to digest.

What's more, no matter why Peter Pettigrew had been hiding for so many years, he was really dead now. The so-called death without proof refers to the current situation.

To the surprise of everyone present, Harry finally chose to believe in Maca!

Harry believes that with Maca's wisdom and strength, as a party to this incident, his opinions and decisions are worthy of being used as a strong criterion for his own judgment.

But in any case, Harry finally accepted Blake as the godfather, and the result remained the same.

Incidentally, when Blake and Lupin confessed the truth, it was Ron who was even more difficult to accept than Harry.

"What do you say? Is Spotted Peter Pettigrew? Ron exclaimed, "No, how is that possible! ”

Even though Blake promised to give him a new pet to compensate him, he still seemed a little reluctant - it was obvious that he still had a deep affection for Spotted.

Of course, Harry, who had accepted all this, still had some resentment - he still had to go to Dursley's house for the rest of the holiday. The reason he was given was that his godfather, Mr. Black, had to stay at Hogwarts and recuperate from his injuries.

Even though it might have been an excuse, Harry had to accept it.

At the dinner, while everyone was eagerly discussing the topic of the holiday, the door of the auditorium was slowly pushed open.

Who's coming? Is anyone late?

In fact, it can be said that one person was already late for a whole semester......

"Willy?" Maca swallowed the chicken thigh meat in her mouth, and a surprised expression appeared on her face.

It was Willy Blois, and after a semester, she didn't seem to have changed at all.

Her figure was still so petite, and the wizard's robes on her body still looked so baggy; Her hair was obscured by a wide peaked hat, even half of her face, making it impossible to see what she really looked like; And in her hand, she was dragging a large suitcase, and her eyes were on the long Hufflepuff table, as if searching for someone.

Maca knew that she was looking for him.

After Maca stretched out her hand and waved it a few times, Willy ignored everyone's gaze, pulled her suitcase and walked straight to Maca's side.

"Flowers, are they blooming?"

It's been a long time since I've heard this unwavering tone—Maca couldn't help but think.

"The dining chairs are flying." Maca drew her wand and waved it, and a chair in the corner crossed the air and landed firmly beside him, "I'll talk about the flowers later...... Why are you here now? ”

Willie sat down quietly and replied, "One vacation time, next semester, or a leave of absence" She seemed to be used to the way she talked to Maca, thought about it, and added, "...... Probably. ”

"Then you're here to see if the flowers are blooming this holiday?" Maca thought for a moment.

Willy nodded naturally.

"Yes."

"......" Maca looked at her several times, and suddenly grabbed a chicken leg and handed it to her, "Come, eat chicken." ”

Compared to the many messes left over from this semester, the regular dinner was still a success. At the very least, a lot of things are not about the students, and everyone is ready to enjoy their vacation.

But when Maca and Willy leave the auditorium together, intending to find a place to talk about the buds in the greenhouse, they meet Lupin, who is carrying a suitcase and an empty water tank.

"Where is this going, Professor Lupin?" Maca casually said hello.

"Oh, you don't know yet? I thought Dumbledore had already told you......" Lupin said with a wry smile.

"Huh?" Maca looked at him hesitantly, "So, you've decided to resign?" ”

"I don't think parents would want a werewolf to teach their children," Lupin said sincerely, "and I thought that reason was enough for me to make this decision when I saw Harry and Blake recognize each other—parents are right, children should not be in such danger." ”

"And lo and behold, I'm still ...... you"

Maca waved her hand and suddenly said, "Do you need me to find you a suitable job?" At least, then you won't have to be as depressed as you are now. ”

"Work?" Lupin said in surprise.

"Yes, a job away from the crowd—" Maka thought for a moment, then continued, "it might be tedious—because there really wasn't anyone there—but at least it wouldn't worry about life, and I'd pay you." ”

"Can you elaborate on that?" Lupin seemed to be interested.

"In the heart of the Mediterranean there is a hidden island with many magical creatures and a group of wild elves left over from ancient times......"

Maca gives a brief account of what happened there, and in particular the work he needs Lupin to do there - breeding all kinds of magical creatures.

Or rather, to provide him with a constant supply of materials for the study of magic.

It was undoubtedly a good stronghold, and it was certainly an unowned island now. Maca unceremoniously decides that the island will be his.

If he graduated from Hogwarts in the future, he would have a decent place to live.

Lupin quickly agreed to give him more consideration, and Maca could tell that the job was indeed a perfect fit for him. There, even if you transform, there is no danger of harming others.

"There's no hurry, I don't have time to go there for the time being...... But if you have any plans, you can contact me first. "Anytime." ”

Just then, Dumbledore came over.

"Your car is at the gate, Lupin." He said.

"Thank you, Headmaster."

Lupin carried his old suitcase and the empty water tank, and nodded politely at Dumbledore.

"Alright—goodbye, Mr. McLean." "Actually, it's so easy to teach you, but I always feel bad for the heart – we can keep in touch no matter what the outcome!" Headmaster, you don't need to send me to the gate, I can do it myself......"

Lupin seems eager to leave school as soon as possible.

"Goodbye, then, Lupin." Dumbledore said politely.

Lupin tilted the empty tank slightly to shake Dumbledore's hand. Then, with one last nod to Maca, Lupin smiled quickly, and walked away briskly.

"You've made a big impression on him," Dumbledore teased, "well, that's pretty much how every professor reacts when they talk about you." ”

"Oh—" Marca looked at Willy, who was standing beside him, but had no presence, "I think I'll have to learn from Miss Blois—I think she's more of a low-key little badger than I am." ”

Willy just calmly looked at the portrait on the wall, without even looking at him.
