Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 380
No matter how bright the sun is, it will gradually go down as the night comes, and the good times often make people lament the ruthless passage of time.
Before Monday arrived, everyone worked hard to enjoy the last freedom of the day.
However, when the little wizards gathered in the auditorium and planned to have a sumptuous dinner with their friends, they found that the plates on the table were still empty.
"What's wrong? Isn't it already dinner time? Why haven't the food been displayed yet?"
More and more students gathered in the auditorium, and soon the usual seats were filled.Everyone was discussing in low voices with the neighboring friends, and the whispers were constantly heard.
Hermione, Harry, and Ron were also sitting in the middle of the long Gryffindor table, frowning and exchanging glances, feeling a little uneasy in their hearts.
Especially Hermione, she glanced at the staff seat from time to time, but except for the principal seat in the middle, which was empty, even the place where Maca usually sat was empty.
Professor McGonagall was still sitting in the seat that belonged to her, without a word.
Since Dumbledore left everyone forever, Professor McGonagall, as the acting principal, has always been reluctant to sit on the seat that belonged to Dumbledore, and the same is true today.
As for the other professors, they also sat in their respective seats. Although they looked different, they did the same thing—they seemed to be waiting for something.
"...Is Umbridge back? Did she play any tricks?" Ron couldn't help whispering.
"Who knows?" Hermione frowned. "Although I don't know yet, from the actual situation, Umbridge must be the most suspicious."
"Wait later, you'll know it. Now it's useless to guess." Harry looked at Professor McGonagall's stern expression and his heart became heavier.
At this moment, Professor McGonagall stood up suddenly.Without her speaking, the little wizards in the auditorium automatically stopped talking in low voices and focused their attention on her.
Obviously, everyone has already waited and couldn't hold back.
"Dear students, I have kept everyone waiting. But before the meal, I have to tell you three things -" Professor McGonagall said with a tight face, "First, there is news from the Greek magic world. , The Minoan School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Greece was breached by a force of unknown origin. The specific situation is still under investigation by the local magic circle..."
In the entire European magical world, Hogwarts in the United Kingdom, Boothbarton in France, and Durmstrang in Scandinavia are the top three famous magic schools.
But in addition to these three schools, there are also some not-so-large magic schools. The "Minos School of Magic" in Greece is one of them.
In fact, in ancient times, this long-established magic school was also one of the world-famous magic schools.But in the long history of the billowing history, due to various reasons, this school has long been relegated to third-rate.
But even so, the demise of a magic school is undoubtedly very shocking in the current tone of the magic world that is tending to be stable and peaceful.
Even if it is a magic school that is about to die, it is the same.
It's just that, after all, it was something far away in Greece. Although the little wizards were mostly surprised, no one understood at the moment that Professor McGonagall solemnly told everyone what his intentions were.
Just as the students in the colleges were uncertain, Professor McGonagall continued to say——
"...Secondly, because the Minos School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was suddenly broken, the Greek Ministry of Magic must step up its investigation into the truth of the unknown forces and protect the local ordinary wizards. In the case of insufficient manpower,The Greek Ministry of Magic applied for international aid to the Wizarding Council for the future of the survivors and students."
"Therefore, the three major magic schools, including ours at Hogwarts, will receive a batch of survivors from Minos School of Witchcraft and Wizardry—"
Speaking of this, Professor McGonagall paused, and then shouted: "Please enter the auditorium for twenty-seven enrolled students!"
Before the words were over, the door to the side corridor of the auditorium was slowly pushed open from the outside.
...
Half a day ago, the office of the professor of ancient magic.
Maca, who just ran out of lunch from the auditorium and hurried back here, sensed a faint wave of magical power outside the door before sitting down.
Then he heard a knock on the door as expected.
"Please come in."
Maca didn't sit down anymore, he turned around and responded to the door.
The office door quietly opened, and Professor McGonagall walked in with a solemn expression and nodded slightly to Maca.
"Good afternoon, Professor McGonagall." Maca nodded.
The two of them are so polite, naturally because there are outsiders present.
Professor McGonagall didn't come alone. Behind her, she was followed by a guy that no one wanted to see at the moment-the temporarily resigned Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, Dolores Umbridge.
"Good afternoon, young—Professor McLean." Although it has not been seen for many days, the greasy smile on the old woman's face still hasn't changed much, and even looks more nauseating.
"Well," Maca said with a faint smile, "Good afternoon, elder—Ms. Umbridge."
Facing Umbridge's provocation, Maca would naturally not be polite.
He didn't even use "professor" to call each other, because even if the old woman came back to continue her post, as long as she hadn't announced it publicly, she was not a professor at Hogwarts.
"Hmm--" Umbridge didn't care, she just turned her head and glanced at McGonagall. "Minerva McGonagall acting principal?"
"You don't need to remind me, I'm not old enough to forget things." Professor McGonagall frowned, and handed the roll of parchment in his hand to Maca. "Professor McLean, you look at this first, you're finished. I'll explain what I'm here for."
Macaroo took the paper roll with some doubts, unfolded it, and scanned it from beginning to end.In just a few seconds, he raised his head again, his eyes passing silently over Umbridge's old face.
"Is it to be handed over to the head of the Wizarding Council? Of course this is fine..." Maca said calmly, "But...what is the situation in the Greek magic world? What attacked Minos?"
He asked Professor McGonagall, but the line of sight remained on Umbridge's face, as if he wanted to see something from the fake face covered with sweet smiles.
It's a pity that Umbridge didn't have the slightest change in her expression at this moment, making it hard to read what she was thinking.
"I don't know, it may be known after the Greek Ministry of Magic's follow-up investigation." Professor McGonagall shook his head slightly, and then continued, "Since you understand, then I won't say much. Be prepared. , In half an hour, you can go with Ms. Umbridge!"
After that, Professor McGonagall turned around and walked out of the office. Umbridge immediately took two steps and followed.
She didn't want to stay here, and it didn't feel good to be with Maca at all.Although the two will definitely have some time alone for a while, obviously the shorter the suffering, the better.
With the roll of parchment in his hand, Maca went to the chair in the pile of documents next to him and sat down, unfolding the parchment roll and reading it again.
This is a document signed by the Greek Ministry of Magic, the Wizarding Council, the British Ministry of Magic, and Hogwarts.
The content is roughly the same: because of the terrorist attack on Minos Magic School, the Greek Ministry of Magic applied for international assistance, requesting magic schools in Europe to accept surviving students and arrange for them to go to school and graduate normally.
It also contains the names, genders and ages of the twenty or so students assigned to Hogwarts. As for other content, there may be other documents or information, but at least the document in Maca’s Did not write out.
"……Greece?"
Maca stared at the key words in the file for a while, but did not find much clue.
"Does it have anything to do with Greenward or Voldemort?" He pondered for a moment before shook his head. "At least it should have nothing to do with Voldemort-his attention is entirely focused on the British magical world, and For now, he must not have the energy to reach so far."
"So... is it Greenward?" Maca asked suspiciously, "Suppose he did it first, but what good is it for him?"
He still has some knowledge of Minos School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.No, if I have to say it, in fact, any wizard who has read "A History of Magic" carefully knows that this school has been completely destroyed in the past war.
The current Minos School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was rebuilt on the original school site.
If you ask what you can get from breaking Minos, I believe all wizards who know that history have only one answer-nothing!
The Minoan School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has long lost its original heritage, no matter the level of teaching, or the treasures left in the school, all have been lost.Therefore, even if it is rebuilt by raising funds, the number of students enrolled every year is quite limited.
Is worthy of the name is on the verge of extinction.
"Maybe... I think too much?" Maca rewinded the parchment scroll inexplicably. "The modern Greek magical world has always been messy and non-climatic. The local Ministry of Magic has been very difficult even to maintain normal operations. No wonder I will apply for international assistance this time... there is nothing unreasonable about it."
"However, everything is careful, let's send someone to Greece for a while!"
After several considerations, he put this in his mind beforehand, got up and walked around the office.
It's time to hand over the more than 20 students of Minos with the person in charge sent by the Wizarding Council. It is time to change into a relatively formal wizard robe.) Download the free reader!!
