"...Maka, we have something to tell you!"
In the corridor, Maka, who came out of his office, had just passed by the library when he was stopped by Luna and Hermione who suddenly caught up.
Oh no, to be precise, it was Luna who dragged Hermione excitedly in front of her.
"Yeah?"
He stopped and looked back and forth between Luna and Hermione's faces. The expressions on these two beautiful faces are completely opposite to their usual appearance - it's like they've been swapped!
Luna, who usually spends most of her time immersed in her own world, is now staring at Maka with piercing eyes; while Hermione, who is usually filled with determination, is not very focused at the moment.
"What do you want to tell me?" Maka shrugged, "Say it! I'm listening—"
"Oh, it's about-" "Wait, wait!"
Luna was about to tell the truth without hesitation, but Hermione suddenly covered her mouth with both hands. Luna was gagged and could only turn her head in confusion, her beautiful big eyes blinking innocently a few times.
"I... I think I haven't thought about it yet," Hermione rarely showed a flinching look at such a critical moment, which was rare for her who was always confident and proud, "Maka, I'm sorry... I... I’ll tell you when I’m sure!”
After she said this, she wanted to pull Luna away from here, but Luna took this opportunity to break away from her hands that were blocking her mouth.
"Maka, we want to talk to you about employment..."
After hearing what Luna said, Maka immediately nodded clearly.
"Oh, that's right..." he said suddenly, recalling the fifth graders' semester schedule, "it won't be long before the exam, but there does seem to be a career counseling process before that... Well, okay! If you want to discuss it with me, let’s talk while walking!”
The fifth-grade OWLs is an extremely important exam. To a certain extent, its weight may be heavier than the NEWTs exam that graduates are about to face.
If the NEWTs certificate is the necessary proof of ability to apply for high-end professions in the magical world, then the OWLs certificate is the stepping stone for most ordinary jobs. The elites at the top of society are certainly the pillars at the top of the magical world, but without a large number of ordinary wizards working hard underneath, those so-called "pillars" would not be able to gain a foothold!
Therefore, Hogwarts' career consulting work for students is usually provided before the OWLs exam, in order to allow students to take this opportunity to gain more room for thinking in order to make personal plans for their future.
In fact, in the history of Hogwarts, there are even students who chose to pursue a career path directly after taking the OWLs exam!
Thinking of this, Maka couldn't help but understand why Luna and Hermione suddenly became so good-these two girls can be said to be extremely incompatible in many aspects, but when it comes to their respective paths in life, they are very different. Eerily consistent.
These are two girls who are extremely sincere to their hearts.
Of course, Maka has figured out the reasons for the current situation, but what is the reason that brings the two of them together
"It just so happens that I have to go to Professor McGonagall to interrupt you right now. If you don't mind, you might as well come and sit with me," Maka greeted briskly, "She will definitely give you a good one." suggested."
When Maka spoke, Hermione's expression actually looked a little strange.
Regarding this point, Maka naturally noticed it to some extent, but he did not point it out rashly. He knew very well that if Hermione was willing to say it, she would say it by herself without anyone asking; but if she was not willing to say it, it would be difficult to get an answer from her mouth no matter how others asked.
Since she seemed to be troubled by something, it would be better to just let nature take its course.
Neither Luna nor Hermione made any objections to Maka's invitation to the principal's office. Although Hermione was a little distracted along the way, she quickly regained her energy when the three of them arrived in front of the principal's office.
“Tuk tuk tuk”
The door to the principal's office is still so solid. When you knock on it, it feels like an extremely thick wooden wall. The knock on the door is always unusually dull and short.
"Please come in."
After Professor McGonagall's serious voice sounded inside, the door opened to both sides silently.
"Oh, it's our Professor MacLean here!"
The person who greeted Maka and the others was not Professor McGonagall herself, but Miss Charlotte Witt, who went through a lot of things after graduation and finally stayed at Hogwarts as an assistant.
"Good afternoon, senior." Maka smiled and nodded to her, "Why are you standing next to the door? I remember that you were a professor's assistant, not a janitor in the principal's office, right?"
"Why, you just happen to be standing behind the door and you think I'm the guard?" Charlotte said to Maka with a smirk, "You little Maka, you still dare to tease your sister Charlotte - are you tired of living? "
As she spoke, she wanted to reach out and put her hand on Maka's back out of habit. This had almost become a fixed way of greeting between the two of them... Of course, this way of greeting would always involve Maka being slapped unilaterally.
However, when Charlotte discovered that there were two little beauties hiding behind Maka, her hand deviated from its original track without leaving a trace, and gently patted Maka on the shoulder.
"Come in quickly!"
Maka lowered her head and glanced over her shoulder in slight surprise, but was only stunned for a moment, and then didn't say anything.
"Miss Witte." After Maca walked into the principal's office first, Hermione greeted Charlotte politely, "Good afternoon."
Luna, who was following her, looked at Hermione curiously, and then looked at the senior in front of her with some freshness, who was so beautiful that the girls were also attracted to her.
She entered the school a year later than Hermione and Maka, and when she was in first grade, she had rarely seen Charlotte, the most famous beauty in Hogwarts. But in some small chats with Maka, she still learned a little bit about Charlotte.
Especially those interesting stories about being confessed by many boys and then rejecting those admirers many times. Such small scandals usually appear randomly in "The Quibbler". In fact, Luna has always Very interested.
Yes, just occasionally... Occasionally, Luna can show her gossipy side. As for whether her gossip comes from her father's inheritance or from her girlish instinct, no one knows.
"Oh, good afternoon, Miss Granger, Miss Lovegood."
At this time, Charlotte looked particularly elegant and calm, as if the woman she had just joked with Maka didn't exist at all. Every word and every action she took was full of that unique temperament.
"I often hear professors mention you - especially Miss Granger. Your grades make almost all the professors sigh with admiration. Now that I take a closer look, you look so cute." She said, really He politely looked at Hermione's face and figure, and the smile on her face looked particularly friendly and natural.
This was the first time Hermione had been called "cute" since childhood. She knew that her cheeks must be slightly flushed at this moment, because she was afraid that Maka, who had already walked to the principal's desk, would also hear the conversation.
"No, how could it be possible," Hermione whispered, "Miss Witte is the one, she is so beautiful..."
Let's not talk about the little girl's conversation on the other side of the door. Maka can naturally hear it here. Not to mention him, even Professor McGonagall, who was sitting behind her desk, had already heard it. Her usually serious face now had a slight knowing smile.
"Maka, why are you here? Is there any new news sent to you from France?"
If it is a formal message, it will naturally be delivered directly to Hogwarts from Beauxbatons, and the first person to receive it will definitely be Professor McGonagall. But if it were news from other channels, that wouldn't necessarily be the case.
"No, not this time." Maka shook her head and said with a relaxed smile, "After the rules of the event are initially decided, the whole process will naturally start step by step at the federation... In a short time Gui, probably there is nothing wrong with me."
"Then you are..." Upon hearing this, Professor McGonagall cast a questioning look.
She now has a lot of work to do every day, and Maka knows this very well. Therefore, in Mag's impression, if Maka had nothing important to do, he would generally not come to the principal's office to look for him.
However, this time Maka really didn't come to find her.
"I have to talk to Charlotte later," Maka spread her hands and said softly, "Well... I think you should know something about her family."
Hogwarts has an understanding of every student's family situation, and students like Charlotte who come from an ancient wizarding family will pay special attention to it.
"Oh," the smile on Professor McGonagall's face suddenly dropped and she frowned slightly, "Is it something bad?"
After hearing this, Maka couldn't help but think about the matter again.
If anything, it would definitely not be a good thing if the Witt family wanted to take action in that event. But whether this will have a bad impact on Hogwarts in the end depends on the specific situation at that time.
"Maybe!" Maka thought for a while and said, "But in general, it is not too directly related to our Hogwarts, but you understand - everyone wants to get more from that matter. Profit, isn’t it?”
Yes, including Hogwarts, this is actually true.
