The migration of the centaurs in the Forbidden Forest is undoubtedly a big event, but no matter how big it is, it can't be as big as the Dark Lord being wiped out again. For everyone, the latter is a great event for the wizarding world of Britain to celebrate.

But even if it's a big deal, Hogwarts is still a school of witchcraft and wizardry. What is the focus of the school? Of course it's a lot of learning from young wizards, isn't it?

Whatever the outsiders thought, at least Professor McGonagall was focused on the students.

“…… Today is Homecoming Day, and starting today, Hogwarts prohibits unrelated people from entering and leaving at will. As Maca pointed to the somewhat empty vestibule, Hagrid explained to him, "That's what Professor McGonagall meant, and it did." ”

"I see." Maca nodded abruptly.

If he hadn't left Hogwarts in the first place, he would have been like Harry and the others. LS exam is the final preparation. But he didn't expect that he would now become a professor at Hogwarts.

Just thinking of this, he couldn't help but be entangled.

Speaking of which, he is not actually a professor in the Hogwarts establishment, but is directly dispatched by the Education Department of the International Confederation of Wizards. If you have to get to the bottom of it, he's actually an expatriate faculty member at Durmstrang College.

Although this so-called "expatriate" did not have a fixed period at that time, according to the regulations, it had a period of 1 to 2 academic years.

In other words, even if it is delayed a little longer, at most it will be just when Hermione and the others will graduate from the seventh grade. At least, he only needs to stay until next year before leaving.

When Maca thought about it now, she couldn't help but think about it secretly.

After all, he doesn't have much to do at Hogwarts right now other than to accompany Luna. And just a few potions outlets on the black market were enough for him to find a place to live, and then study magic and enjoy life in peace.

Maybe after waiting for more than ten years, Voldemort will run out again to bring disaster to the world. However, when that time came, he was fully confident that he would be able to hammer the Dark Lord's little head melon alone with his staff.

If that is the case, is he still going to continue his career as a less qualified teacher at Hogwarts?

“…… Maca, there seems to be something wrong with the Flober caterpillars I raised lately, do you want to go back to me and take a look? ”

Hagrid's words caused him to pull back his thoughts that had been spent.

After all, Dumbledore indirectly put Hogwarts in my hands, and he didn't care about Voldemort's life or death. Professor McGonagall, the acting principal, has become quite handy with all kinds of school affairs after this period of impactful running-in. But even so, without a powerful wizard like Dumbledore, it would inevitably have a little less weight in the eyes of other big people.

Just like this decision to "prohibit unrelated people from entering and leaving at will", if there is no Maca, who has just shown strength, there may be resistance from the Ministry of Magic.

"Flober caterpillars?" Maca said curiously, "What's wrong?" Are they sick? ”

"No, there isn't." Hagrid shook his head, "They're so good!" Not to mention being sick, I climbed into the field in the backyard yesterday afternoon...... It's strange here, you see, it's winter! ”

Maca knew what Hagrid meant, it was said that the weather was so cold, those Flober caterpillars were either hibernating or freezing to death, and they couldn't necessarily tell the difference between dead and alive, so how could they crawl around? Those ten-inch-long fat bugs are actually relatively easy to die, so their reproductive ability is particularly strong.

"And what's even more interesting is that I saw that the little ones were all very energetic, so I tried to feed them something. You know, they never eat in the winter...... But guess what? They ate a whole bunch! ”

Hagrid is very interested in any magical animal, even the extremely boring Flober caterpillar. Of course, he still loves big guys with strong physiques and high danger like fire dragons.

At this moment he talked about caterpillars, but he was also so excited that he couldn't stop at all.

“…… Maca, look at them like that, I think it's a problem! "I guess!" Maybe they've mutated somewhat—they've become more adaptable to the cold! It's a very interesting thing. ”

Luna is also a fantastic beast fan, and she loves mysterious creatures. Some exist and some don't exist, it's impossible to say. But she loved ordinary creatures just as much, and she heard Hagrid with great interest, and she could hear God.

"Okay!" Maca smiled and said, "I'll go to your place later—"

"I'll go too!" Luna said in a trance, "The mutation of the Flober caterpillar...... That sounds good! ”

"You have to prepare for the exam." Maca kindly reminded, "If you do well in the exam, it will also be of great help to find a job with magical creatures in the future." When the time comes, you'll have more opportunities to discover new magical creatures and learn more about them. ”

"Oh-yes," Luna thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "more magical creatures." ”

……

While Maca and Luna were chatting casually with Hagrid at the school gate, Harry and the others were staggering on the knight's bus, even the wizard's robes that had been carefully ironed by Mrs. Weasley and Lena.

They didn't use Apparition to go straight to Hogsmeade, as neither Ron nor Ginny had ever been on the Knight's Bus, and they had always wanted to give it a try. Of course, Hermione hadn't ridden either, though she didn't really want to experience it.

In one corner of the carriage, Harry, Ron, and Hermione sat on a bench, seemingly trying to rely on the strength of unity to deal with the frantic bus. Not to mention, it worked out well, at least they weren't thrown around in the car like the other passengers.

Fred and George's pair of living treasures were quite comfortable with the mad cow bus, and they were seen screaming and crashing from one end to the other, causing more and more chaos in the carriage.

“…… The other night, before I went to bed, I had been reading the book Dumbledore had left me. Harry swayed as the carriage shook as he spoke to Ron and Hermione, "It's really just a storybook about Godric Gryffindor's three adventures. ”

"I heard you say it last night, you can tell Hermione." Ron said, pulling out a stack of cards from his bosom and carefully flipping through them one by one.

Before getting in the car, he was the most excited one – even more excited than his two twin brothers. But even though Harry had already told him what it was like to ride in the car, he still underestimated the horror of the Knight's Bus.

Now he had no interest in the broken car, so he simply took out the chocolate frog cards he had collected and went to deal with the famous wizards on the cards.

"Hermione, I never thought Gryffindor would be so powerful!"

Ron seemed to have heard enough, but Harry could still tell Hermione from the beginning. He wasn't very curious about the storybook at first, but after several days of reading it, he almost became a Gryffindor fan.

"He's amazing—" Harry said to Hermione, "the first story in that book is about him getting the Gryffindor sword. ”

"I know," Hermione rightfully said, "Godric Gryffindor commissioned the then Elven King to forge a magical sword made of pure silver. But when the Fairy King made it, he immediately liked it—he thought it was the best thing he had ever forged in his life! So he sent a team of goblins to steal the sword back from Gryffindor...... This incident was also one of the reasons for the initiation of the Goblin Rebellion 600 years later. ”

"The cause of the goblin rebellion?" Harry was surprised, "Really? ”

He vaguely remembered that he had seen about the Goblin Rebellion in his homework on the history of magic, but he had never liked the boring subject, so he didn't remember it very clearly.

"I think you should remember it!" Hermione said angrily, ". You will definitely get it in the LS exam, so I think you should be mentally prepared. ”

"Oh my God!" Harry covered his face and groaned, "Don't mention the exam, I have a headache...... But how does that connect to the Goblin Rebellion? Could it be that the elves still want to return to the Gryffindor Sword? ”

"Of course I do! Don't you know? Hermione spread her hands and said, "The goblins have always felt that if a wizard gives something made by a goblin to someone else and doesn't pay the maker Galleon, it is basically not much better than stealing." ”

As she spoke, the carriage jerked to the right, forcing her to retract her outstretched arms and grasp the metal railing on the wall of the carriage firmly.

"Hmm...... Is that so? I'll have to keep it in mind so that it doesn't actually show up on the paper! Harry muttered a few words before he continued, "But my favorite is the part where Gryffindor repels a horde of goblins, and he also cast a spell on the elves and tell them to go back and tell their king—"

“…… He said, 'If Legnak dares to do such a thing again, I will kill him and all his subjects with this sword forged by him!' ’”

Harry mimicked that confident yet strong tone, and excitedly said, "That sounds so cool!" ”

“…… That's reckless. Hermione pursed her lips and said, "Besides, don't you think it's too much to 'kill them all' or something...... Did Gryffindor really say anything like that? ”
