Since Maca smashed the mirror back that day, the day seems to have calmed down. Even if he knew that this peace must be temporary, taking advantage of this time to breathe a little relief would also help him heal the ruggedness and ravines in his heart.

Oh, and it's worth mentioning that Hogwarts is finally starting to snowflake again.

The rough outer walls of the castle are smeared with a soft white color by fresh snow. This made Hogwarts, which originally looked tough, a little more surprisingly soft.

Maca walked on the grass in the vestibule, surrounded by snowflakes falling from the sky. Occasionally, one or two slid across the cheeks, and the body temperature melted them quietly, turning into a hint of leisurely coolness.

When he stepped on the thin snow and looked back, Hogwarts Castle was wrapped in the sky as if it had been moved out of a fairy tale. This delicate picture reminded him of some childhood memories that had long since become blurred with time.

"Speaking of which, I also had a time when I longed for this kind of magical world...... "He smiled softly at himself, and said secretly in his heart, "So can I be considered 'happy' now?" ”

When dreams suddenly become life, some people may be very happy. But alas, at least, Maca probably doesn't belong to that category.

Shaking his head slightly, he turned around and walked towards Hagrid's hunting lodge.

"Bang bang."

There was a knock on the door, waking up the hound, who had just eaten lunch and was dozing off. When it heard this, it immediately grabbed its tail and shrank into the corner, and then began to bark as loudly as ever.

"Woohoo, woohoo...... Woohoo! ”

"Shut up!"

Hagrid, who was sitting on the couch fiddling with a book, scolded, then stood up and walked to the door.

With the creak of the door opening, Maca, who was waiting outside, quickly walked in—Hagrid had been here many times, and was as familiar as if he had entered his own office.

"Oh, Marca, you just happened to be here, and I'm struggling with the task Professor McGonagall has given me! Come over here and help me get an idea......"

As soon as Maca slipped past Hagrid, she was grabbed by the shoulders and forced him to sit on the only single couch in the cabin.

Immediately after, Hagrid opened the book in his hand again and spread it out in front of Maca.

"Look, I'm going to hide the cauldron in the mistletoe trap, and those cute little ones might be able to give everyone a little surprise...... Or maybe I'm still wondering if I'm going to get some moon beasts, I think they always please girls......"

Maca looked at the illustrations on the page, then nodded.

"Well, the Moon Idiot is very good, its eyes are big and round, and it does give people a very cute impression...... Dressing them up should work well. ”

"Oh, that's it, I'm relieved if you say that," Hagrid said happily, "Well, by the way, you can see if this is okay......"

As he spoke, he flipped the book back again, all the way to the lower part.

"Poison sac leopard, look at their poison sac, a little white on it will look like a lot of white beards?"

Hagrid was talking, subconsciously touching his beard, which was like an oversized steel wool ball, and then bowed slightly with satisfaction.

"Well, the more you think about it, the more interesting it is, isn't it? And the poison pouch leopard is funny......"

"No, no, no," Maca quickly shook her head, "Poison Sac Leopards can't do it, they're too dangerous...... Aren't you worried that the students will be poisoned by then? ”

The leopard has a retractable pouch on its neck that resembles a toad's jaw, which expands and contracts with breathing. And if the poison sac leopard had that idea, even a gasp could mix the air with a powerful toxin that was lethal enough to breathe, which was almost equivalent to an invisible life-seeking spell.

Hagrid, however, seemed to be a little reluctant.

"Well, we can actually make everyone wear gas masks......" he scratched his scalp and said a little depressedly, "You know, their addition will definitely make the atmosphere more lively!" ”

But after muttering a few words, out of trust in Maca, Hagrid put the bad idea aside.

"Alright! By the way, why don't you help me see this again......"

Seeing that he was about to continue turning the pages of the book back as he said this, Maca hurriedly reached out and pressed the book. After all, there are more dangerous magical creatures after that, and Maca doesn't want to make trouble.

"Alright, alright—" he said hurriedly, "I'll give you another thought, I've got a good idea, I'll tell you when I get to it!" ”

After removing Hagrid's hands from the book, Maca continued, "I think the two of you are fine. Well, the Moon Idiot Beast is not difficult to get, but a sufficient number of tree guards require more effort...... You prepare these two first, don't be too anxious, there is still a long time! ”

He told Hagrid to take the time to contact the wizards who cultivated the magical creatures, and then he got up again to leave.

"Is this leaving? Don't stay for a cup of tea? Hegdon said at the moment.

But Marka waved her hand.

"No, I still have to go to Slughorn...... He has one last class this afternoon, and I have to finish talking to him before he goes to class. As always, after school, we can go and have a drink with three broomsticks together. ”

"Really? Oh-" Hagrid glanced over the iron shelf of the fireplace, the tea almost ready, "Okay, we'll see you later." ”

Maka, who had already reached the door, raised her hand and shook it without looking back, and then walked away quickly.

……

Potions classes have always been popular at Hogwarts, even in the past, when Snape was taught.

Of course, the so-called "popularity" certainly does not refer to the students, but to the parents behind the students.

And this is mostly due to the fact that certificate students usually earn more after graduation than wizards who specialize in other disciplines.

No matter what world you're in, having money always makes life better, doesn't it?

Perhaps it was this reality that reflected the importance of Potions in the wizarding world, and Potions classes at Hogwarts were not only compulsory, but also had a large number of classes. After Slughorn took over the assignment of teaching the class, he had several hours of lessons almost every day.

Just this afternoon, he had already given a lesson to the fourth graders of Slytherin and Gryffindor, but he had to give another lesson to the fifth graders until school was over.

Maca counted the time accurately, and he happened to meet Slughorn in the foyer.

Seeing that the fat old man, who had been in class for almost a whole day, was still in good spirits, Maca also felt admiration in her heart.

Although this old man is often a little out of tune, he is indeed a very good guy to teach and educate.

"Professor McLean—"

"Good afternoon, Professor!"

Because class had just ended, there were still many students passing through the foyer, and they were all moving to the next classroom.

"Well, good afternoon."

Maca stood in the doorway, responding to the students passing by and greeting Slughorn across the street.

"Professor Slughorn, over here!"

In the somewhat chaotic foyer, the fat old man seemed to hear someone calling out to him from the cacophony of human voices, and he immediately turned his fat neck back and forth.

"Oh! McLean—"

When Slughorn saw that it was Maca, the smile on his face increased. But when he saw him look left and right, he walked through the crowd with a shy stomach and came to Maka's side.

"Do you have classes in the afternoon? If we stop by the way, we can walk together for a while......"

"No, I don't have a class this afternoon." Maca shrugged her shoulders and said, "You know, there aren't many students who take the magic language class, but they can't compare to how busy you are every day!" ”

Saying this, he stretched out his hand again, and said with a smile:

"But it's okay to walk together, just as I'm going upstairs...... Well, Professor McGonagall actually asked me to ask, how are you preparing over there? Is there anything you can help with? ”

"There's nothing wrong with me, don't worry!" Slughorn smiled heartily, "I love this kind of activity the most, and I think I'm pretty good at it!" ”

"Oh, that couldn't be better." Maca nodded, "If you can, make it as subtle as possible...... When the time comes, I'll invite some friends to come over and introduce you to each other. ”

Expanding your network – that's Slughorn's favorite thing to do. It can even be said that he lived all his life to meet more people.

As soon as Maka talked about introducing new friends, the smile on the face of the slightly vain fat old man immediately became a little more vigorous, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile.

The two chatted as they walked forward, and up the stairs all the way to the second floor, where Maca and Slughorn parted for a moment, turning a corner and heading to a classroom on this floor.

Not long after, he stopped at the door of the classroom, where some students were already seated, and watched the eaglets and badgers, who were still in their second grade, walking in one after another.

Maca knew that he would have to wait here for a while before he could see the man he wanted to meet.

After a while, when there were no more students in the hallway, and when the bell rang in a short time, a figure that was pitch black from the staircase not far away quietly appeared.

"Professor Snape."

Seeing that the person she was waiting for finally appeared, Maca took a step to meet her.

"Is it okay to delay you a little bit? Professor McGonagall said......"

"No, you can't."
