Chapter 1023: The Swinging Title
"Harry is quitting the Quidditch team, but Luna and Hermione are joining instead!"
"They?"
Hearing Charlotte say such a subtle news, Maca couldn't help but show a puzzled expression.
"What kind of inner changes have they experienced? As I recall, Hermione had never been a fan of Quidditch, and Luna was just a spectator...... By the way, what position do they play? ”
Quidditch is usually a topic of memories between Maca and Charlotte, as both men have played on the Hufflepuff House team.
Seeing that Maca asked about the location of Luna and Hermione, Charlotte smiled and said:
"Hermione took Harry's place, and Luna became Ravenclaw's new Seeker - just the other day, both of them passed the selection as if they had made an appointment."
"Oh, are they two Seekers......" Maka shrugged her shoulders when she heard this, "I hope they can enjoy the feeling of chasing the Snitch?" ”
"Is that all?" Charlotte glanced at him meaningfully, "You don't have any other feelings?" ”
Maca smiled bitterly and spread her hands, and said a little helplessly:
"Other thoughts? Yes...... I also hope that the two of them can have fun until graduation, and no more weird things will happen! ”
"What's the 'weird thing'?" Suddenly, a voice behind him suddenly sounded, "Oh, Maca, you're here?" ”
"Professor McGonagall."
Marca turned around and saw McGonagall walking through the doorway.
It was probably because the days had passed quite calmly during this time, and her spirit seemed much better than before, and even her expression had a faint sense of relaxation.
"Good morning, huh...... Looks like you're getting better today, huh? ”
"Really?" Professor McGonagall took her textbook and walked to her desk as she spoke, "Maybe! Thanks to your busy time outside, we are able to teach our students in the school with peace of mind...... Who is this? ”
As McGonagall sat down behind her desk, she looked up at herself, a faint smile of kindness on her face, and Maca could feel the ease she felt as if she were treating her own family.
And when McGonagall asked about the trench-coat wizard sitting next to her, Maca simply repeated the same rhetoric she had just introduced to Charlotte.
Although Professor McGonagall couldn't help but glance at the other party a few more times after hearing this, since she was the one who had followed Maca, the level of trust was not a problem.
It wasn't long before McGonagall added:
“…… Maka, is there something you want to say about this time? ”
"Well, it's a little thing that has to be said." He nodded, "Me and Mr. Victor...... Oh, Professor Sinista's father, and he and I were going to carry some 'borrowed' things from Muggles to the school gates—you know, to deal with the trouble I mentioned last time. ”
"Ahh Professor McGonagall suddenly understood, "Sure, no problem, do you need my help?" ”
"Not really," Marca smiled, "I told Minister Scrimgeowe to contact the old bishop, and everything will be done without disturbing the school." This time, I just wanted to mention this to you, and by the way, try not to let the students out of the school gate when the time comes! ”
At that point, there will definitely be Muggles walking around the gates of Hogwarts, but Muggles will not be able to see what is going on inside the school.
Due to the spells, Muggles would stare inside the school gate all day and see nothing more than a ruin with hazard signs.
However, although Muggles themselves would not have the idea of going inside to find out, they could still set foot in the school if they were led by a wizard.
That's why Maca said that it was best not to let the students go out at that time, so as not to add some unnecessary aftermath work at that time.
"I'm more worried about whether the magic in the castle will be so strong that even the Muggle equipment placed outside the school gates will be affected......"
As he spoke, he shook his head suddenly, and soon said:
"Forget it, we won't know until all those things are sent over anyway, so let's not talk about that for now! Let's talk about the school side of the matter - have you had any difficulties running the school lately? How's the school board over there, are those pure-blood families still safe......"
After talking about the main business of the trip, Maca talks to McGonagall and Charlotte about some of the school affairs at Hogwarts.
The two of them were doing all of this on weekdays—Professor McGonagall was in the position of Rector, and Charlotte, an assistant, was doing her best to assist the former.
Truth be told, if Charlotte still had ties to the family, she would be able to help with a lot of things at school. It's a pity that she doesn't have a good impression of her family, and she obviously doesn't want to mention the surname "Werther" to others.
Today, Hogwarts relies heavily on Dumbledore's legacy of fame and the prestige that Maca has built up so far.
Obviously, after the series of events held by Maca before, Hogwarts is definitely more important now than it used to be. It's just that this weight doesn't have the same solid foundation as Dumbledore's time as Headmaster.
Fortunately, Maca has actually been paving the way for the mess that Dumbledore left him - for example, sending those children to Blois Castle in France not long ago may not be said to be an opportunity to add a future to Hogwarts.
……
In a casual conversation, the time for another class quickly passed. When McGonagall asks Marka if they want to stay and have lunch together, Maca readily compliments.
"Look, look! It's Professor McLean! ”
"He's not a professor now, he should be called Mr. McLean—"
"No, in my heart McLean will always be a professor!"
"Like me, I prefer to call him 'Maca' directly, how kind is that?"
"Hey, I bet the potato goulash must taste good today! I sneaked into the kitchen last night to see that the house-elves seemed to have gotten some new spices......"
Although in the shouts of surprise, there seemed to be a few words mixed in with a discussion that had nothing to do with Maca. On the whole, though, everyone was visibly happy at his sudden appearance, and the hall became even more lively with chatter.
"Look, it's not fair that you're still so popular among these little guys, even though you've been on your job for a while!"
Listening to Charlotte muttering to herself beside her, Maca could only smile helplessly.
"At least some people think that today's potato goulash will be more appealing than my arrival, won't they?"
Of course, in addition to the other students, Hermione and the others were also indispensable in their sight. But it was Professor McGonagall who invited him to stay for lunch, so he just said hello and went to sit down at the faculty chair.
However, the trench coat wizard who came with him, and since there was no way to add more seats to the faculty chair, Maca simply let him sit at the Slytherin long table with the most empty seats.
It didn't take long for Hermione, who had hurriedly filled her stomach, to look at Maca a few more times, then put down the dishes and wiped her mouth, and quietly went to the other party's side.
"Hello...... Can I sit next to you? ”
Seriously, Maca's previous comments were really right - the trench coat and wide-brimmed hat on this one were a bit too eye-catching.
Especially at the dinner table, not even taking off the hat is obviously quite a faux pas.
Well, even before Hermione came over, many of the students around were secretly looking this way.
However, the mysterious windbreaker ignored it completely, and just lowered his head and sent the food to his mouth. Even when he heard someone come to talk to him, he only nodded silently after pausing the movements of his hands.
"Thank you."
Hermione didn't immediately ask anything after she sat down.
She came here this time, firstly, to be curious about the origin of this strange wizard who was following Maca, and secondly, to try to get a cliché from the other party's mouth, trying to find out what Maca has been busy with recently.
And in the faculty seat, Maca had naturally noticed Hermione's actions. But for a while, he didn't know whether he should worry or something else.
In fact, it wasn't Hermione who was worried, but the trench-clad wizard - because as far as he'd been able to disunderstand these days, this man wasn't very good at communicating with others.
How so? Are values not quite the same as ordinary people?
On the other side, Hermione silently looked at the strange wizard beside her who couldn't even see the whole face, still thinking about where to speak.
Speaking of which, it may not feel the same as what I saw at the Gryffindor table.
Looking at it from a distance at first, Hermione thought it wouldn't be an easy person to get along with; But once the distance was closer, she didn't feel any terrible aura from the other party at all.
After a few more moments, Hermione spoke:
"I'm Hermione Granger, a Gryffindor student and a former classmate of Maca. I don't know, you and Maca are-"
The only thing she has to do with this person is undoubtedly Maca. Thinking about it, it seems that starting with the topic related to maca is the most reasonable starting point.
And when Hermione's voice fell slightly, the trench-robed wizard seemed to be worried, and did not answer Hermione's question quickly.
When Hermione waited patiently for a few moments, she was secretly surprised to hear a hoarse voice from the other side of her high collar.
"Me and Ma...... We were friends with Mr. McLean, and we became friends just half a month ago. ”
The trench-clad wizard seemed a little unsure of what to call Maca—the first thing Hermione noticed after hearing them.
