The migration of the centaurs in the Forbidden Forest is undoubtedly a big event, but no matter how big it is, the Dark Lord is wiped out again. For everyone, the latter is a great event that the entire British wizarding community should celebrate.
But no matter how great it is, Hogwarts is still a magic school. What is the focus of the school? Of course it's a lot of learning for little wizards, isn't it
No matter what those outsiders thought, at least Professor McGonagall focused on the students.
"...Today is homecoming day. From today on, Hogwarts prohibits non-residents from entering and exiting at will." Because Maka pointed to the somewhat empty vestibule and asked, Hagrid explained to him, "This is McGonagall What the professor meant, and it was actually carried out.”
"So that's it." Maka nodded as if she was aware of it.
If he had not left Hogwarts, now he would be making final preparations for the upcoming OWLs exam just like Harry and the others. But he didn't expect that he would now become a professor at Hogwarts.
Just thinking about this made him feel confused.
Speaking of which, this professor was not actually in the establishment of Hogwarts, but was transferred directly from the Education Department of the International Federation of Wizards. If you have to dig deeper, he is actually an expatriate faculty member of Durmstrang College.
Although this so-called "expatriation" did not have a fixed term at the time, according to regulations, it had a deployment period of 1 to 2 academic years.
In other words, even if there is a further delay, at most it will be until Hermione and others graduate from seventh grade. If you want to talk about the least, in fact, he only needs to stay until next year before leaving.
Now that Maka thought about it, she couldn't help but think about it secretly.
After all, he had nothing else to do at Hogwarts except spending time with Luna. And just his few magic potion sales points in the black market are enough for him to find a place to live, and then study magic in peace and enjoy life.
Perhaps after waiting for more than ten years, Voldemort will come out again to cause trouble to the world. However, if that time comes, he is completely confident that he can smash the Dark Lord's little head with his staff alone.
If this is the case, will he continue to develop his unqualified teaching career at Hogwarts
"...Maka, there seems to be something wrong with the Florob caterpillars I have raised recently. Do you want to go to my place and have a look later?"
Hagrid's words made him pull back his divergent thoughts.
No matter, after all, Dumbledore indirectly handed Hogwarts into my hands. He didn't only care about Voldemort's life or death. Professor McGonagall, the acting principal, has become quite comfortable with various school affairs after this period of intense training. But even so, without a powerful wizard like Dumbledore sitting in charge, it would inevitably lose some weight in the eyes of other big shots.
Just like this decision to "forbid unauthorized persons to enter and exit at will", if Maka, who had just shown his power, was not there, there might be resistance from the Ministry of Magic.
"Flobber caterpillars?" Maka asked curiously, "What's wrong? Are they sick?"
"No, no." Hagrid shook his head and said, "They are very well! Not to mention being sick, they crawled into the fields in the backyard with great energy yesterday afternoon... But the strange thing is that they are here. Look, now they are winter!"
Maka knew what Hagrid meant. It is said that the weather is so cold, those Florob caterpillars are either hibernating or frozen to death. You may not be able to tell whether they are dead or alive, so how can they crawl around? Those fat bugs that are ten inches long are actually relatively easy to die, so their reproductive ability is particularly strong.
"And what's even more interesting is that I saw that the little guys were very energetic, so I tried to feed them something. You know, they never eat in the winter... but guess what? They eat A lot!"
Hagrid was very interested in any magical animal, even the Flobber caterpillar, which was extremely boring to keep. Of course, his favorite ones are the big, strong and dangerous ones like fire dragons.
Now he was talking about caterpillars, but he was also very interested and couldn't stop at all.
"... Maka, look at them like that, I think there's something wrong!" He said seriously, "I guess! They might have some kind of mutation - they have become able to adapt to the cold! This is a very interesting thing .”
Luna is also a fan of magical animals. What she likes are those mysterious creatures. Some exist, some don't exist, you can't tell. But she also loved ordinary creatures, so she was fascinated when she heard Hagrid speak with great interest.
"Okay!" Maka smiled and said, "I'll go to your place to take a look later -"
"I'll go too!" Luna said in a daze, "The mutation of the Florob caterpillar... that sounds good!"
"You have to prepare for the exam." Maka kindly reminded, "If you do well in the exam, it will be very helpful in finding a job related to magical creatures in the future. By then, you will have more opportunities to discover new things. magical creatures, and we can learn more about them.”
"Oh - yes," Luna thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "more magical creatures."
…
While Maka and Luna were chatting casually with Hagrid at the school gate, Harry and the others were staggering around on the Knight Bus, even the wizard's robes that had been carefully ironed by Mrs. Weasley and Lena were wrinkled. .
They didn't disapparate directly to Hogsmeade, because neither Ron nor Ginny had ever taken the Knight Bus, and they had always wanted to give it a try. Of course, Hermione hadn't ridden one either, although she didn't really want to experience it.
In a corner of the carriage, Harry, Ron and Hermione were sitting on a bench, as if trying to rely on the power of unity to deal with the bus that was rushing so fast. Not to mention, the effect was really good, at least they were not thrown around in the carriage like other passengers.
Fred and George were quite adaptable to this crazy-cow-like bus. They were shouting and ramming from one end to the other, making the carriage more chaotic.
"... Before I went to bed a few nights ago, I was reading the book that Dumbledore left for me." Harry said to Ron and Hermione next to him while shaking his body with the swing of the carriage. "It was really just a storybook, about the three adventures of Godric Gryffindor."
"I heard you say it last night, you can tell Hermione." Ron said, taking out a stack of cards from his arms and carefully flipping through them one by one.
Before getting in the car, he was the most excited one - even more excited than his two twin brothers. But even though Harry had already told him about the feeling of riding the bus, he still underestimated how scary the Knight Bus was.
Now he had no interest in this old car at all, so he simply took out the chocolate frog cards he had collected and went to deal with the famous wizards on the cards.
"Hermione, I never thought that Gryffindor could be so powerful!"
Ron seemed to have heard enough, but Harry could still tell Hermione from the beginning. He was not very curious about that storybook at first, but after several days of reading experience, he almost became a Gryffindor fan.
"He's so powerful -" Harry said to Hermione, "The first story in that book is about how he got the Sword of Gryffindor."
"I know," Hermione said matter-of-factly, "Godric Gryffindor commissioned the Goblin King at the time and asked him to forge a magic sword made of pure silver. But after it was made, the Goblin King suddenly He fell in love with it - he thought it was the best thing he had ever forged in his life! So he sent a team of goblins to steal the sword back from Gryffindor... This happened 600 years later in the Goblin Rebellion One of the reasons why it was initiated.”
"The reason for the goblin rebellion?" Harry asked in surprise, "Really?"
He vaguely remembered that he had seen something about the goblin rebellion in his history of magic homework, but he had never liked that boring subject, so he didn't remember it very clearly.
"I think you should remember it!" Hermione said angrily, "This question will definitely be tested in the OWLs exam. I think you should be mentally prepared."
"Oh my god!" Harry groaned, covering his face, "Don't mention the exam, I have a headache... But how is it connected to the goblin rebellion? Do the goblins still want the Sword of Gryffindor back?"
"Of course I have! Don't you know?" Hermione spread her hands and said, "The goblin always feels that if a wizard gives something made by a goblin to someone else without paying the creator Galleons, basically It’s no better than stealing.”
As she spoke, the carriage suddenly swung to the right, forcing her to retract her spread arms and firmly grasp the metal railing on the wall of the carriage.
"Um... Is that so? I have to remember something, lest it actually appears on the test paper!" Harry muttered a few words before continuing, "But my favorite is Gryffindor's repulsion. When there were a large number of goblins, he also cast magic on those goblins and asked them to go back and tell their king—"
"... He said, 'If Legnac dares to do such a thing again, I will use this sword forged by him to kill him and all his subjects!'"
Harry imitated that confident and strong tone and said excitedly: "That sounds really cool!"
"... That's too reckless." Hermione pursed her lips and said, "Besides, 'kill them all' or something, don't you think it's a bit excessive... Did Gryffindor really say such a thing?"
