After a crowded lunch at the three broomsticks, the friends continued to walk around Hogsmeade. With the exception of Maca, the rest of us present were probably going to be completely relaxed for the last time this school year, because in the days that followed, . LS exams and prepared hard.

Even Luna, who was a year below Harry, had to study hard for the final exams that were coming soon.

"Keep playing! It's almost time for me to go back to school," Having just come out of Jokowi's Magic Joke Shop with the rest of us, Maca looked up at the sky and realized that she couldn't go any further, "Professor McGonagall asked me to have afternoon tea with her, I can't be late." ”

"Oh—" Ron was clearly having a good time, and couldn't help but feel a little sorry to hear Maca say that.

"Luna, you can just hang out with them for a while!" Seeing Luna looking at her, Maca shrugged her shoulders and said, "There are more people today, if you wait until next weekend, they won't have time to come out again-"

"Oh, you're right." Luna nodded and said leisurely, "Then will you accompany me next week?" ”

Hermione seemed to be a little sensitive to Luna's words, and she glanced at Maca and Luna left and right, looking a little annoyed. Looks like she's thinking about canceling her revision plan for next Sunday early.

It stands to reason that a top student like Hermione, . There is no suspense that you will be able to get a high score in the LS exam. But she is a study freak herself, and if she doesn't prepare well before the exam, she will definitely be uncomfortable.

"Of course, if it's only for the morning...... "Maca told Luna, "you'll have to revise when it's time to revise - the other professors told me that your grades seem to be a bit off-subject?" ”

"Hmm......" Hearing this, Luna's gaze immediately tilted away, and she began to trance-like again.

"Don't get distracted when you hear it, and review the history of magic, potions, and transfiguration when you have time!" Maca stretched out her hand and shook it in front of her eyes, "Okay, then I'll go first, you guys go on!" ”

With that, he did not delay any longer, waved his hand casually, and walked towards the intersection at the end of the village.

"Luna, you're biased too?" Ron was pleasantly surprised to find that he seemed to have found a comrade who was standing in the same trench as him, "So coincidentally? I'm biased—"

"Don't compare you to others," Hermione glared at him, "People are biased, but they don't always hover between passing and failing like you!" ”

"Oh - it turned out that I was in the wrong trench!" Ron suddenly lowered his shoulders and sighed to himself.

……

When she came to Hogsmeade, Maca walked on her legs, but now she didn't need to walk anymore. He found a place outside the village where there were fewer pedestrians, and with the help of the portkey, he was back at the main entrance of Hogwarts in an instant.

Except for the students who were about to graduate, most of the other young wizards were still hanging around Hogsmeade, so there were almost no figures in the school at a glance now.

Of course, living treasures like Fred and George won't miss a Hogsmeade day. exams, but until then, they won't toss even one day less.

Marka hears that after Voldemort's events are over, they seem to be thinking about their pranks. If Mrs. Weasley found out, they would have been scolded again.

While thinking about these little things, he walked leisurely to the garden next to the castle. There were stone tables and benches beside the fountain where Professor McGonagall had made an appointment to meet.

The power of magic is great, and as soon as you enter the garden, you will immediately be greeted by colorful flowers. The colorful petals glow with a soft glow in the sunlight, which makes them look even more vibrant.

And when he turned a few flower walls, the crystal clear water curtain of the magic fountain made his entire vision sparkle.

In the Muggle world, this is only briefly seen in the spring when the flowers are in full bloom; But in the wizarding world, it's something you can enjoy all year round, even now in winter.

Maca hadn't arrived too late, but it didn't seem to be too early, for Professor McGonagall had already arrived.

On a stone table by the fountain, Professor McGonagall has a variety of baked goods, including a delicious cake with whipped cream and a fruit tart stacked with various fruits. The fantastic color of the food is no less than that of the surrounding flowers.

"Coming?" McGonagall noticed that there was one more person here, she turned around and smiled at Marka, "Come and sit down!" I'm just getting ready – just in time! ”

Compared to when Voldemort was still making trouble, Professor McGonagall is obviously much more relaxed now. When she saw Maca, her face, which was always serious and tense, even appeared with a kind smile, and even the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were stretched.

Seeing this, Maca couldn't help but feel that this was what an old man should feel.

Hogwarts is a school in the wizarding world of England...... Even the entire European wizarding world occupies too important a position, which makes it very difficult to sit in this position of the headmaster. Not to mention Minerva McGonagall, even Dumbledore gave up a lot of choices when he was in this position.

Fortunately, the most difficult period has passed, and although it will be hard, at least Professor McGonagall, the headmaster, will not be walking on thin ice with every step as before.

Maca sat down at the table, then stretched unrestrainedly. Thinking about today's weather, every minute and every second makes people a little lazy, and I have been crowded in the crowd for a long time just now, and now I am really a little tired.

McGonagall looked at the extraordinarily young wizard in front of her, and couldn't help but subconsciously recall her teenage years. Perhaps the wizarding world was not changing as quickly as the Muggle world, and the times were far less pronounced, but she could still see the shadow of her own time in Maca.

But just by such a comparison, she couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Maca—the boy's school days were too hasty, and he was forced into a dark quagmire before he could enjoy the carefree life that should have belonged to his age. And now, he is already a professor at Hogwarts.

"Come on, try these snacks first! I did some with Pomona – I have to say, her baking skills are better than when she was younger! ”

At McGonagall's suggestion, Maca picked up a piece of honey scone and watched as the other man clicked on the table, and a delicate teapot with a steaming spout appeared on the cloth on the stone table.

In the early days, when pure-blood wizarding families were still in the wizarding world, this kind of afternoon tea was a more regular social event than Muggles. But now, eating and drinking are much more casual, and even banquets and dances have removed many complicated and strict rules.

Maca swallowed the scone in her mouth, and took a sip of the black tea she had just poured into the cup, and the unique aroma of Darjeeling suddenly mixed with the aftertaste of the dim sum in her mouth, making people's mood more leisurely and enjoyable.

"Oh, there's good news I have to tell you first," Maka said, putting down her teacup, "Our Minister of Magic seems ready to find a way to facilitate a multi-school joint event, just like the Final Three—and of course, we at Hogwarts are also in the lead. ”

McGonagall wanted to use this afternoon tea to mention another matter to Maca. But when Maca told the news, she couldn't help but be surprised to put aside what she wanted to say beforehand.

"An event like the Final Three? Or is it dominated by Hogwarts? Professor McGonagall's eyes lit up, and she clearly saw the meaning.

After Voldemort's death, Hogwarts had a significantly higher status in the global wizarding world. And if a fire of sufficient weight is added at this time, then Hogwarts can undoubtedly establish itself higher than ever.

"Last year's Triwizard Tournament was hosted by Hogwarts, and now it's not so easy to host another multi-school event, right? You...... You don't have to be ...... like that."

Professor McGonagall was happy, but she also understood the difficulty, and guessed whether Maca had agreed to anything to Skrintcher.

"No, I didn't do anything." Marca shrugged her shoulders and picked up a small piece of cake as she explained, "I did a little help in the yesterday's operation to capture the Death Eater fugitives. But I'm not really just for the sake of Mr. Minister's request and overtures, mainly ...... You know, it has something to do with Voldemort. ”

"Oh, indeed—" Professor McGonagall nodded thoughtfully, "it is indeed appropriate to find out what is going on out of the prudent eye...... So what did you find? ”

Maca thought about it, and suddenly it seemed that it would be okay to tell Professor McGonagall the truth. This venerable witch is always very fair, and she is absolutely willing to treat an innocent baby girl with kindness.

Merely......

"Voldemort and Bellatrix had a baby," Marka confessed, "and her name was 'Delphi,' and she was a pretty girl." The reason why the Death Eaters frantically escaped from the dungeon was to escort Bellatrix out. ”

"Volley...... Child? Delphi? ”

Anyone who hears this news will be surprised, even Maca was not exempt from vulgarity. Professor McGonagall was also surprised when she learned of this, and even put the teacup back on the coaster in front of her.

She ...... How is that kid doing now? McGlossy asked, hesitantly.
