"Miss Granger, Miss Lovegood... I heard from you, Professor MacLean, that you seem to have some ideas of your own regarding the career direction after graduation?"
Regarding the topic of the Wirt family, Maca and Professor McGonagall did not have much discussion for the time being.
Talk was definitely necessary. Since Maca had secured the venue rights for Hogwarts to host the Alchemy Tournament, they would not be able to get around the chaos that would arise during the tournament. But even if we want to discuss this matter, we have to find another time to discuss it in private. After all, this kind of thing cannot be discussed openly in front of the students.
"Oh... uh, yes, Professor McGonagall." Hermione nodded slightly. The shyness she felt from Charlotte's teasing before was still somewhat residual, so she looked quite reserved now.
But compared to Hermione, Luna, who is pure-minded, is much more open-minded.
"Professor, Hermione and I want to work in the Department for the Management and Control of Magical Creatures of the Ministry of Magic after graduation." She didn't say a word of nonsense, and directly focused the topic on the key points.
"Oh! Is that so?"
Professor McGonagall looked very happy. After all, it was great if the students were willing to make progress. Hogwarts is currently preparing to officially establish its foothold in the global wizarding world. This big step forward requires not only the efforts of the faculty and staff, but also the struggle of a large number of students.
As a magic school, cultivating talents is the fundamental thing, and this will definitely not change.
"Yes, that's right." Luna pointed at Hermione enthusiastically, then at herself, and added, "...Hermione wants to go to the Humanoid Department, and I want to go to the Animal Department."
"Have you even planned the specific departments?" Professor McGonagall nodded happily, "Then if possible, you might as well tell me first - why did one of you choose the humanoid department and the other chose the animal department?"
"Because I'm going to find magical beasts and Hermione is going to save magical beasts!"
Professor McGonagall showed a somewhat puzzling expression regarding Luna's inconsistent answer. Hermione, who was standing nearby, could only purse her lips helplessly when she saw this.
"Professor McGonagall, it's like this..." She had to put aside some of her thoughts and took the initiative to explain to McGonagall, "I want to do something for those humanoid magical creatures, so that wizards in the entire magical world , even those creatures themselves understand the value of their existence. Well, just like the house elves!"
"This is a good idea," Professor McGonagall encouraged, and then warned, "But I have to remind you that it is probably very difficult to change those old worldly concepts. I think , that will most likely cost you your whole life, do you have this awareness, Miss Granger?"
"Yes, of course!" Hermione nodded firmly, "Moreover, if this matter can be successful, I believe that the instability in the magical world will also be reduced... This is a project that will benefit the entire world. work."
When she said this, she subconsciously glanced in Maka's direction, as if she had some unspeakable other thoughts hidden in her heart.
"Since you have this realization, that's the best!" A smile appeared on Professor McGonagall's face, which was undoubtedly her praise for Hermione's ideas, "So this is 'rescue', then... What is Miss Lovegood's 'search' for?"
"Professor, you'd better not think too deeply about Luna's words -" Maka spread her hands with a smile, "She just likes those magical creatures whose whereabouts are mysterious, and most people are not even sure whether they exist. , I simply want to see them with my own eyes... Luna, am I correct in explaining this?"
"Well, yes!" Luna nodded happily, "Actually, there are many creatures right under our noses, but many people can't see them! For example... harassment?"
"Well, of course!" Maka said, "We are all looking forward to the day when you can tell us their appearance and habits. Maybe in the future, some newly discovered magical creatures will be named after you!"
"That's really not bad!" Luna became obviously more excited after hearing this.
In the words of several people, Luna and Hermione's future seemed to have officially begun to be built at this moment. Maybe one day, sooner or later, their wishes will become reality one by one, adding their own touch to the entire history of magic.
After that, Maka also introduced the "SEES" that Hermione had figured out to Professor McGonagall, and together with the elves currently living in Hogwarts Castle, they proposed several ideas with certain characteristics. An operational plan for spiritual liberation of house elves.
Finally, when Luna's stomach suddenly growled twice, they remembered that they hadn't eaten lunch yet! In order not to go hungry during the afternoon classes, they had to choose to leave the principal's office and go to the auditorium to fill their stomachs.
Before going out, Hermione hesitated again, as if she wanted to say something to Maka. But she thought about it for a moment, but in the end she didn't say anything.
"McLean, what do you think she wants to say to you?" Charlotte looked at the principal's office door that was closed again, with a strange smile.
However, Maka just spread her hands and did not take up the topic.
"Senior sister, have you had lunch?" He turned around and faced Charlotte, "If you have already had lunch, I wonder if I would be lucky enough to invite you to take a walk outside or something?"
"A walk?" Charlotte raised her eyebrows and said casually, "Okay? Where do you want to take me?"
"Going to a Muggle family to visit a little girl." He said, seeing the teasing expression on Charlotte's face again, he immediately said helplessly, "Well, to be precise, it's a girl who was just born. The little girl. Besides, I’m just visiting her by the way. I mainly want to talk to you about—well, about some recent things related to your family."
"My Home?"
When Charlotte heard this, her expression suddenly changed, and her gradually serious expression was still mixed with some complexity and subtlety.
…
The Fisher family is still the same as before, with a young couple living a peaceful life day after day. Under the influence of Maka's spell, they had already regarded Delphi as their biological daughter, and carefully accompanied her as she grew up.
Speaking of which, the fate of little Delphi is actually very similar to that of the cuckoo in the Muggle world. She has been destined to grow up in a family that does not belong to her since she was a child, and may never know who her biological parents are throughout her life.
It is said that the reason why female cuckoos lay eggs in the nests of other birds is to prevent the vicious male birds from eating the eggs. Although the situation of little Delphi does not seem to be the case, if you want to get to the bottom of it, it is actually not much different from the cuckoo.
"This is it."
At this moment, Maka and Charlotte were standing in front of Fisher's house. While he was casually explaining to Charlotte that he had Muggle relatives here, he reached out and rang the doorbell.
After a while, little Delphi's nominal mother Sarah came out and opened the door.
"Oh! McClain?" She said happily as soon as she saw Maka, "Why are you here? You're here to see our little Delphi, right? Come on, come in! Ah... who is this?"
"Just call me Charlotte. I'm McLean's classmate, a little older than him."
Charlotte didn't like mentioning her last name very much in the past, and she certainly didn't want to mention it in front of others now.
"Oh, Charlotte?" Sarah smiled, "You're so beautiful - come in!"
Under the hostess's warm invitation, Maka and Charlotte soon followed her to the living room. Her man is often away from home due to work reasons. Obviously, he is probably still floating on the sea at this moment!
As soon as Maka entered the living room, she saw the crib placed next to the sofa. At this time, little Delphi was lying there, tilting his head and looking curiously this way.
"Delphi, how are you doing lately?"
Maka moved closer to the crib, stretched out her finger and waved it in front of her, teasing her with a smile. Charlotte looked at Maka playing with the child, but felt an inexplicable urge to laugh.
His movements in teasing children looked too skillful, which really didn't match his boyish appearance.
"Is her name Delphi?" Charlotte also moved closer. Under Sarah's smiling eyes, she said with great interest, "Hey, she looks so cute. She will probably be a beauty when she grows up!"
Judging from the appearance of Voldemort and Bellatrix, this little Delphi's appearance is indeed worth looking forward to. Her biological parents are actually both outstanding wizards. Apart from their character, conduct and age, the rest are probably just "handsome" and "beautiful".
Maka thought for a while, then glanced back at Sarah, as if confirming something.
"Fortunately, Sarah's appearance is acceptable," he commented secretly, and then secretly twitched his lips, "otherwise, it would be enough for an ordinary-looking couple to have a beautiful child. It’s suspicious.”
But at this moment, Maka suddenly froze. After looking at Charlotte next to them, they both looked in the same direction.
"Next door?" Charlotte asked in surprise.
"Well, it should be next door." Maka nodded, "You wait here, I'll go over and take a look."
At that moment, the sound from the direction next door was suddenly cut off. Although it only happened for a moment, they still noticed the sign - it was very much like someone had used a short-term silencing spell next door!
