Outside the window, the laughter of the students echoed in the quiet of the principal's office, and McGonagall sat behind her desk, writing the names Benson and Lucas on letterhead with a quill in her hand.

"Kevin. ”

"Yes, Headmaster. ”

He withdrew his hands from the edge of the stone platform, his chest rising and falling, and the reflection in the "water" was suddenly chaotic.

"You came here this time just to let me explain something. McGonagall lifted her gold-rimmed glasses from the bridge of her nose and looked at Kevin, who was distracted.

"Okay. Kevin replied absent-mindedly, Harry's memories still echoing in his mind, and dealing with the chaos had already taken on most of his energy at the moment.

Retracting her gaze, McGonagall had just dipped her quill in ink, glanced at Kevin again, put down her business, and got up to walk over to the boy.

"The day when you will see him is not far away, and maybe, you can try to let go of these for a while. ”

"I, I don't know how to deal with ......," Kevin looked up suddenly, "I'm confused. ”

"Life is not a straight line. Patting the boy on the shoulder, McGonagall smiled, "Just do your best, kid." ”

Slowly exhaled, most of the doubt in Kevin's eyes dissipated, and he rubbed his cheeks violently, the coldness of the stone platform remained in his palm, which was excellent for awakening at this time.

With a slight nod, McGonagall reflexively sat back in her office chair, and before she could lift her pen, she first looked at Kevin, whose eyes had returned to clarity: "Our vice principal, you should know each other, right?"

"Dean Ravenclaw, my Charms teacher, Professor Flitwick?" replied, and Kevin's mind was filled with an amiable, short elder.

"Yes, please tell me, the Headmaster needs him to teach Kevin's Patronus Charm. Not as if noticing the surprise on the boy's face, after a pause, McGonagall continued to herself, "And a series of spells that Kevin needs, in addition to the dark arts. ”

"But, that's so advanced that even graduates won't be forced to master magic. Kevin spread his hands and shook his head, "I've spent five years honing my self-control, and I'm barely keeping up with my classmates' learning progress, how dare I expect to learn the Patronus Charm?"

"Trust Flitwick, his teaching skills have long been unanimously recognized by the wizarding world, and that's not my opinion. Clasping her hands together, McGonagall said with a serious face, "Besides, this is not an academic, but a task. ”

Hearing this, Kevin was suddenly stunned, as if he understood the hidden meaning of McGonagall's words, and quickly straightened his position: "I will do my best, president." ”

"Let's go to class, it's not early. ”

With the rustle of writing in the letter, McGonagall's stiff urging fell on Kevin's ears without a hint of sharpness. She is the principal and the president, and at the end of the day, she is an elder who is obsessed with the teachings of Dunton, and Kevin is full of such respect in his heart, and after saying goodbye, he pushes open the oak door and leaves the principal's office.

"The words of a wise man always strike people's hearts. Downstairs, the sound of the stone wall opening and closing sounded, and an exclamation came from McGonagall's side, "Minerva, you are better than Flitwick in education." ”

"Good morning, Dumbledore. ”

McGonagall turned her head to see a white-haired old man on the wall in a portrait frame, his eyes revealing a hint of insight into the world.

......

"There are three groups left. Group A is led by Paul and is responsible for the maintenance of the public magical facilities in the castle. ”

Standing in the open space surrounded by the hallway, Wendy gave orders to the student council members who surrounded her. As the words fell, the crowd dispersed, leaving a mess of footprints on the snow.

"In Group B, Henry led the team to clear the snow on the Quidditch pitch and found that the building was damaged and repaired on the spot. ”

Among the remaining people, more than a dozen students stepped on the flying broomsticks they carried with them, soared into the air one after another, and soon disappeared without a trace.

"Group C, Eve leads the team. Halfway through speaking, Wendy inadvertently glanced into the distance, and then paused imperceptibly, "Eve of Group C leads the team and does a good job as a teaching assistant today." ”

The crowd dispersed, and Kevin, who was surrounded by a group of junior children in the distance, clearly fell into her eyes. Wendy touched her cheeks, which were flushed with cold, and turned to walk away quickly.

"Let's go to class, it's not early. ”

Surprised by Kevin's voice, Wendy quickly turned her head, only to see that he was already walking on her side at some point, waving goodbye to the children.

"I don't know why, but these kids are so excited when they see me. Seeing Wendy look at her in a slightly stunned manner, Kevin shrugged his shoulders with a helpless face.

"Well, it's a celebrity after all. It seemed that she was infected by Kevin's relaxed attitude, and Wendy's inner discomfort was soothed, "Not only them, but also classmates and seniors also treat you as a hero!"

"Hey, I really didn't do anything, and the academy was deducted fifty points. At this, Kevin was a little dejected, "Thanks to you, I've heard about it from Clarence." He thanked him from the bottom of his heart.

"It just so happened. Wendy pursed her lips and smiled, "Fortunately, I made up the fifty points back, and that's enough." ”

"No, Wendy, I'm not talking about the House Cup, it's me and Jensen. Staring closely at the girl with long flax blonde hair, Kevin said, "I can't imagine what would have happened without you telling the Ministry of Magic in time, thank you so much." ”

"Ahem, that, what's your next plan?" Subconsciously avoiding Kevin's gaze, Wendy looked at him left and right.

"Miss McGonagall asked me to go to Professor Flitwick and learn the Patronus Charm. Kevin replied quickly, especially in front of this girl who had really helped him, "I really don't know what this is for." Luckily, McGonagall also asked Professor Flitwick to teach me whatever magic I wanted to learn, which helped a lot. I think I'm going to spend most of my time with Professor Flitwick. ”

The moment Kevin's words fell, Wendy's face was clear, and after a little thought, she smiled: "Lady McGonagall is not only an archmage, but also a famous wise man, and her actions must have their intentions. As for Professor Flitwick, I don't know if you know him or not. ”

"Quite a tolerant teacher, well, short, old but very agile and cute......" Kevin tilted his head and popped up for a moment.

"Poof!" Wendy hurriedly covered her mouth.

"What's wrong?" Kevin scratched his head.

"Well, it's fine. Wendy waved her hand and forced a forced smile, "He was a Hogwarts Dueling Club champion when he was younger. ”

"You mean?" said Kevin, surprised.

"That's right, it seems that the headmaster wants to train you to be a combat master. Wendy affirmed.

"No, that's not how it should be. Kevin, who had a good time, immediately noticed the contradiction between McGonagall's arrangement and the decision of the Order of the Phoenix, and he was not happy but worried, "Why Professor Flitwick?"

"What's wrong?" Wendy asked with concern as she realized that things weren't as simple as she thought.

"Well, nothing. Kevin hurriedly stopped, there were some secrets he really couldn't say.

“...... All right. After a moment of silence, Wendy forced a smile.

"I'm sorry. ”

"It's okay, there are some things you can't say, I understand. ”

"Forehead......" touched the tip of his nose, and Kevin was a little embarrassed, "I mean that time in the tower before." ”

"What...... I mean, what, what's wrong?" as soon as Kevin's voice fell, Wendy's face was hot for a moment, and she was a little slurred when she spoke.

"Aren't you angry?" said Kevin, puzzled.

"Why should I be angry?" Now it was Wendy's turn to be confused, thinking that he was enlightened, so there was a tower to say this, I don't want to be a wood one, which makes me embarrassed, she suddenly has an angry tone, "Don't think about it, go to class!"

"Well, well, it looks like I'm thinking too much. Shrugging his shoulders, Kevin didn't dwell on it anymore.

The two walked all the way to the classroom, passing by a few students on the way, and compared to the other people talking and laughing, he looked more and more dull.

"It's a soaphorn ......," Wendy said casually.

"I see, I'll just say it!" Kevin grinned.

As soon as the conversation opened, the two quickly started laughing.

"Is that Kevin?"

Not far behind the two, one of the students seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly patted his companion on the shoulder and pointed behind them.
