Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Chapter 339: The Undercurrent Caused By The Return

() Maca spent the last few hours of the night in Black House.

In order to organize the information he had obtained and convey it to the members of the Order of the Phoenix who were extremely worried, he took a lot of words, so that he just took a nap in the reception room.

But even so, he still had to rush to Hogwarts early in the morning, because the magic text had been left for several days.

In the early morning of the next day, when the sky just showed a ray of light, Maca had already arrived at Hogwarts Castle.

"How are things in school?"

Sitting in Snape's office, Maca asked casually while yawning.

"You want to ask the woman in Umbridge, right?" Snape sullenly, throwing the book in his hand on the table, "she got a'senior investigator' position from the Ministry of Magic, it's okay. Just wandering around in other professors' classes, it's so annoying!"

"What did she investigate?" Maca asked with interest.

"Watch it for yourself!"

Snape picked up a copy of the Daily Prophet from the newspaper shelf behind him, and threw it impatiently to Maca.Maca took it easily without turning the page, and soon saw the picture of Umbridge on the first page.

"The Ministry of Magic is looking for educational reform and appointed Dolores Umbridge as the first'senior investigator'."

After reading the title roughly, Maca roughly scanned the content again.The key points found were mainly on the professors at Hogwarts.

It's like Quirrell was possessed by "the man whose name can't be mentioned", Moody disappeared for some reason, Hagrid is actually a giant hybrid.

By the way, Maca, the "excellent teacher"'s abrupt request for leave, was also used as one of the reasons.

So Umbridge's "senior investigator" position settled in Hogwarts.

In name, she is replacing parents, the school board, and the Ministry of Magic, monitoring Hogwarts' teaching situation, and conducting a complete and systematic survey of serving professors.

But other than that, the deep meaning of this position is obvious to a discerning person.

"You'd better pay attention to it too, as I see, she must'focus on' your ancient magic text class." Snape curled his lips and reminded.

When Maca heard it, she shrugged indifferently.

"Of course she will'focus' on me. Who made me get in the way of her hands and feet?" Maca said, "but before that, she still prays that she can understand my class first!"

The fact is also true, the ancient magic writing course has always been a relatively unpopular elective course.The content of the ancient magic texts is not only complicated, but most of them are very professional.

For those non-professional wizards, it would be strange not to listen to them if they just pick a lesson in the middle.

"Yes." Snape nodded and said with a sneer. "I remember that the woman's grades when she graduated were not very good, I hope she has taken the magic text class!"

"What do you say?" Maca curiously asked.

"It's more interesting if you don't understand it, isn't it?" Snape still sneered, his face still showing a good look.

...

At the same time, Gryffindor common room.

The rising sun had already jumped out of the eastern hills, exuding dazzling brilliance, and illuminating the entire lounge.

The slightly obsolete sofa chairs are bathed in sunlight, exuding a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

The little wizard who got up early has already gone to the auditorium to have a meal, and the one who is used to getting up on the spot is probably still struggling in the bed, trying to escape the temptation of sleepiness.

There was a sound of footsteps on the stairs leading to the boys’ dormitory, and there was a sound of kicks and kicks. After a while, Harry and Ron were in the lounge one after another.

"It's terrible! It's all those old women who went to find other professors when they were okay, and the professors were in a bad mood..." Ron complained, rubbing his sleepy eyes.

"Yeah! I always feel like I can't finish my homework these days!" Harry also sighed.

"You said, when do we have to endure to be liberated?"

"Who knows? At least wait for Maca to come back... Anyway, that's what Hermione said."

After all, the two looked at each other, and then threw their bodies heavily on the sofa chair at the same time, causing the sofa chair under the buttocks to creak.

In the past few days, according to Hermione's opinion, everything has been low-key.No matter how mean Umbridge was, they kept their duty and suppressed their irritation.

If Umbridge gets too hot once in a while, Hermione will stand up and disgust her with a soft knife.

In this way, Umbridge is indeed angry and out of place to sprinkle, but the little lions are also uncomfortable. This can only be regarded as a method of warfare that hurts the enemy a thousand and hurts 800.

It is indeed a bit difficult for this group of little lions, who are used to the indomitable patience, to endure.

Just as Harry and Ron were slumped in their chairs feebly, mourning for their lives, a person suddenly ran in from the common room.

"Oh! Why are you two sitting there in a daze? To tell you good news, Maca is back!"

Hermione came here, and she was standing in the doorway, her face glowing red with excitement.

"Huh? What?" "Did you see him?"

Harry and Ron suddenly bounced off the couch and asked with blinding eyes.

"Ah, no, I haven't seen him yet—" Hermione shook her head, but said with a certain expression, "but he must have returned! I just saw Filch posted a notice on the bulletin board. Today, the ancient magic text class is no longer self-study!"

"This is great, although I didn't take the magic text class..." Harry said, hesitating again, "but...does this need to be posted?"

"This shows that the school attaches great importance to Maca!" Hermione said naturally, "We will post notices on major events!"

"You're right, Hermione," Ron nodded, "Have you had breakfast? If not, let's go together, maybe Maca is there too!"

The three said a few words, and ran to the auditorium together excitedly.To be honest, although Maca has only been away for a few days, the tortured them can't stand it anymore.

Under Umbridge's toss, they have all recently looked forward to Maca's return as soon as possible.

But as soon as she reached the corridor by the side door of the auditorium, Hermione's pace slowed down.Because the first thing she saw was not the Maca she had been thinking about, but Luna who was standing at the door of the side porch and looking quietly.

"what!"

Harry and Ron also saw it, especially Ron. After looking back at Hermione, he hesitated to stop.

Although he is no longer attached to Hermione now, when he sees Hermione stopping, he feels a little uncomfortable.

Ron chose to give up because he saw himself clearly and took the initiative to shred his obsession; while Hermione chose to persevere, even if he knew that the hope was slim, he still encouraged him to stride forward.

Ron sincerely admired Hermione's courage, a kind of courage that he might not be able to match in his life.It is precisely because he has never grasped it that he is more envious and yearning.

At the same time, she also hoped that Hermione would not be let down by her own efforts.

As for Harry, who has always been emotionally aware, he seems to have never understood the inner struggle of these two close friends.

Taking a few steps forward slowly, Hermione stood in front of Luna and blinked slightly.

"Good morning, Hermione." Luna took the initiative and said hello in a daze.

Hermione was startled, then nodded slightly.

"Good morning." She said, "Yes... are you waiting for Maca?"

"Huh?" Luna tilted her head in confusion, "Maca? Is he back?"

There was a sudden unwillingness in Hermione's heart-she knew it for the first time, but the girl in front of her who was supposed to be closer to him and received more care from him was still ignorant.

"Yeah! He's back..." Hermione took a deep breath and nodded stupidly.

Before she finished her words, a sweet smile appeared on Luna's face, and even the trance in her eyes seemed to disappear.

"Really?" She nodded at Hermione. "Thank you."

So, is he not in the auditorium?

"You're welcome." Hermione shook her head slightly. "Since you are not waiting for Maca, what are you doing here?"

"I don't know too much... I think I should wait and see here this morning... something good will happen." Luna thought for a while, "The weather is good today, isn't it?"

"Probably..." Hermione pursed her lips. "At least it doesn't seem to rain."

After speaking, he passed by Luna and walked into the auditorium step by step.

Ron, who was following Hermione, nodded at Luna, and then dragged Harry with a puzzled look, and followed Hermione's footsteps.

Luna turned her head and looked at the backs of the three people, her long pale blonde hair swaying gently in the breeze passing by.

"……that's nice."

She stroked the blown hair and whispered to herself softly.

At this time, in the auditorium, the atmosphere on the staff seat was somewhat polarized.

Professor McGonagall seemed to be in a good mood. While enjoying a refreshing breakfast, she chatted quietly with Professor Sprout next to her.

At the other end of the long table, even though Umbridge also had a sweet and greasy smile on his face, the smile seemed stiff.

For the return of Maca, Hogwarts is happy overall, but for our Umbridge, it is simply terrible.

Oh!Well, she should be called "Senior Umbridge Investigator" now.

At this moment, Umbridge's depression index has broken through the sky.Although she seized the time to get a name while Maca was not there, at least she was not afraid of Maca in name.

But even so, in today's ancient magic text class, she still did not understand what attitude should be used to observe.

To be honest, she had been thinking about this since the day she received the post of the investigator, but she couldn't decide it for a long time, so it hurt her brain!
