0181 The time has come
Minerva McGonagall, Deputy Headmaster of Hogwarts, Head of Gryffindor House, Head of Transfiguration.
Once a witch was very satisfied with her job, professional counterpart, trusted by colleagues, relied on leaders, and paid a lot of money, isn't it the ideal working environment for workers?
The problem is that the "reliance" of leaders is getting heavier and heavier, especially since the beginning of this semester, and the principal has evaporated from the world for nearly two months.
Curriculum arrangement, daily purchasing, performance accounting and other things are what she does, but it's nothing.
But after Dumbledore's disappearance, the bad things from the Ministry of Magic and the Board of Trustees were thrown at her, much to Professor McGonagall's dismay.
At heart, a witch is a person who values honor, obeys rules, and has a great sense of morality, and the qualities of those with whom she deals have almost the exact opposite of her.
As if they were incompatible with each other, every time they came into contact with McGonagall, they would be very annoying.
As the Headmaster disappeared for a long time, the frustration in Professor McGonagall's heart continued to build, and finally exploded yesterday - she rushed to the Headmaster's office after receiving the news, only to be in the air again.
So when the two met at the top of the stairs, the temperature in the air seemed to drop a few points.
After feeling the momentum accumulated in Minerva's body, Aini decisively chose to run away in Dumbledore's eyes for help.
Joke, now go to the auditorium with them, maybe what you eat hasn't fried goosebumps a lot, and Aaniko has no masochistic tendencies.
Wouldn't it be nice to dine with the little witch in the office?
As soon as the door was opened, a kitten slipped over, alternating its little furry paws with each other, and expertly climbed onto Ani's shoulder.
"Meow~"
Tom Nono screamed softly in Ani's ear, rubbing his face obediently.
But cute and cute looks like ...... Uh, like a child who pleases his parents after making a mistake?
Aini looked at the room, well, everything is as usual, there is no classic scene after the "cat and mouse fight", and important things will be put in their pockets, never casually outside, could it be that he is allergic?
With a "click" to bring the door to the door, Ani took the cat off and hugged it in his arms, rubbed Tom's soft little belly, and felt that his baby seemed to have lost a little weight.
Maybe it's because they are competing for favor after adding a new member to the family.
Ani secretly thought, but he didn't know that it wouldn't be long before Tom Meow would give him a big "surprise".
Walking into the dining room, Hermione was so engrossed by a book in her left hand that she seemed to have forgotten the sandwich in her other hand.
"Ah, you're back."
When she saw Ani, the girl quickly got up, and the non-existent sandwich slipped from her hand, and she was about to hang on the ground.
At this moment, Jerry, who was playing from an unknown corner, rushed out, opened his mouth wide and took it into his stomach.
"Hiccup~"
The little mouse patted his bulging belly, burped contentedly, and climbed onto Ani's feet, and then he leaned over and lifted him up, and put him beside Tom and hugged him in his arms.
"The plan went well, Lockhart had already stolen the things and gave me 2,000 Galleons in the morning."
Unable to ask Aini, the girl crackled and spoke.
After entering the Defence Against the Dark Arts office yesterday, the plan went very well.
Lockhart took advantage of the opportunity that the girl "created" for him, and successfully "tricked" the book from Jerry, and in a happy mood, he simply fulfilled this year's contract ahead of schedule, handing over the hush money of 2,000 Galleons to Hermione.
"Good job."
Aini praised him, and suddenly felt some abnormal movement on his arm, looked down and couldn't help laughing, and quickly touched Jerry's little head comfortingly, and said with a smile: "You too, well done."
Hermione and Jerry smiled happily at the same time, but Aini's arms struggled again.
Tom climbed up his master's neck and circled himself.
"Meow~"
Cats
It's good, I can still use it as a scarf for you, and praise me.
"Mm-hmm, Tom is cute too."
A professor who enjoyed the benefits of involution sincerely praised that the cat dumpling scarf was indeed soft and warm, and the experience was excellent. I just feel that Tom's body smells a little big, and it looks like it's time to take a bath.
Cleansing spells are not a panacea and cannot completely replace washing.
"Levi."
Aini's call fell, and a house-elf appeared on the ground in front of him.
"At your service, dear sir."
Lévi saluted the two of them, then stood quietly waiting for orders.
"Lunch is the same, but I'll have to work hard for you in the evening."
Ani picked through his pockets and grabbed bags of ingredients and handed them to Levi, along with a menu attached.
"Can you bring me to the restaurant at eight o'clock?"
"No problem, sir, it will be delivered on time."
After another salute, Levi grabbed the ingredients and disappeared in place.
After Ani had set up Jerry and Tom, Levi grabbed a large tray and teleported back, placed it on the table, and disappeared again.
The tray, which was a meter in diameter, was full of all kinds of food, and soon a pile of bones was piled up in front of Jerry.
"Meow!"
It's been compared again.
Since Jerry joined, the two have always been unconsciously secretly competing, especially in some strange places.
Fawkes wasn't very interested in food without magical powers, and in his opinion, the contents on the table were not as good as a piece of white fresh, so he simply snuggled up in Aini's arms and took a nap.
After eating, Ani answered a few questions, and said goodbye to the little witch and returned to the Forbidden Forest.
Aside from the former residence in Dorsetshire, this treehouse is the only one that can give him the feeling of home, and the rest of the bedrooms in Hogwarts Castle and the living quarters of Nature's Breath Headquarters are not interesting.
Potential is not strength after all, maybe the gap between Ani and Dumbledore in terms of total mana is not very large, but in terms of practical application, the two are not in the same gear at all.
He had been busy for a few days and had been working less than halfway through, and in the morning it took only a few hours for Dumbledore to complete the rest cleanly.
In addition, the diary has been successfully "sent" to Lockhart, and Ani can easily live for a while.
Lockhart......
Time flies, time flies, and a week is about to pass in the blink of an eye.
For a few days, Hogwarts was safe and sound, and Lockhart was a hot spot again.
It's not that he's done anything out of the ordinary. On the contrary, the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor's reputation has changed dramatically recently, and he has received a lot of praise.
Defence Against the Dark Arts had been the most criticized course before, and the young wizards couldn't figure out how such an unlearned guy had managed to get into the professor's ranks.
Just when the students thought that they had figured out the essence of Lockhart, the professor suddenly changed his style of painting, and his lectures were not only substantial and practical, but also humorous and funny, which caught a wave of eyeballs.
There are even some former fans who are helping him whitewash, but unfortunately the impression formed in the first two months can be too deep, but it has also really had an effect.
Lockhart was pleasantly surprised by this, and he trusted Tom in his diary even more.
It's time to open the secret room!
