Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue

In a sense, Minerva McGonagall's career at Hogwarts was special from the beginning.

As Dumbledore’s transfiguration class and Gryffindor’s successor after Dumbledore’s promotion to principal, people would unconsciously regard Professor McGonagall as Dumbledore’s chosen successor—not just in terms of courses and colleges. There is also the position of the future principal of Hogwarts-and all of this became clear as Minerva McGonagall began to serve as the vice principal: if nothing else, she would be the next post after Dumbledore. headmaster.

In fact, since more than ten years ago, Minerva McGonagall has gradually taken over the daily work of the principal from Dumbledore.

For example, the owl letter for freshmen every year, the invitation to special students, the arrangement of trivial affairs in the school...

For a long time, Professor McGonagall had a small pride that she didn't even notice. She once thought that she knew most of the work as a principal. But when a half-blood witch enrolled in school last year, Minerva McGonagall finally gradually understood what she lacked:

The responsibility as the principal of Hogwarts, or the mentality and ability to face the crisis.

Whether it is Hogwarts mortgage, magic education reform, political interference classroom...

Even in the conflict that occurred in the transfiguration classroom yesterday, if Elena’s child hadn’t taken the initiative first, she might have been impulsively stimulated by Umbridge’s words and fell into the setting of the senior investigator. Trap, fortunately, Professor Dumbledore finally turned the tide.

When the real pressure came down, after all, the old man who seemed to be doing nothing at ordinary times took it all down.

However, Minerva McGonagall knew very well that Professor Dumbledore might not have much time left.

During this time, she saw Dumbledore's hands covering his chest more than once, and pain flashed through her eyes.

Even if Elena and Madam Pomfrey began to deliberately guide and control their diet and drugs, Dumbledore's situation only improved slightly. This kind of magic exerted by time has almost no possibility of reversing the healing. Minerva McGonagall had to seriously think about whether one day Dumbledore would leave suddenly, whether she could fill the void left by the old man and let Hogwarts continue to operate as usual.

And now, Dumbledore chose to go out to "chase" Voldemort, which may be a good opportunity.

As the vice-principal of Hogwarts, until Professor Dumbledore returns, she will temporarily act as the principal in charge of the work.

Minerva McGonagall can take this opportunity to discover her own shortcomings, so that when Hogwarts "Dumbledore is not" really arrives, she will not be in a hurry, and everything started naturally from Hogwarts. The core "little shadow" asked.

"Then, can we talk directly and frankly? Miss Kaslana."

In Professor McGonagall's office, Professor McGonagall glanced at the sleepy little witch in front of him, and gently waved his magic wand.

The next moment, steaming black tea, coffee, juice, as well as salamander gingerbread, fruit candy, and chocolate cream appeared on the table in turn.

After spending most of the semester alone, she has also mastered the communication skills with Elena-as long as there is food, the child's well-behaved level will rise a lot-Dumbledore said this is due to descent preference. Although McGonagall never understood what this had to do with Veeva pedigree.

"Regarding what happened at the Ministry of Magic and Professor Dumbledore’s temporary departure...Professor Dumbledore should have informed you of these news in advance? I want to know in addition to the content of this letter, Dumbledore Does the professor have anything else to order?"

"If there is anything you can't say, you can tell me directly and generously--"

Professor McGonagall looked serious, pushed a letter to Elena, and continued sincerely.

"This is a text message left by Professor Dumbledore. You can read it first. As the acting principal of Hogwarts during this period, I need to understand the situation as comprehensively as possible to better ensure that the school teachers and students are not affected by the outside world. Threats, and more appropriately regulate various affairs in the school."

"Hmm, so... I see, I will fully cooperate with you."

Elena yawned and glanced perfunctorily at the explanation that Dumbledore had worked with her.

"Yes, I did know the news in advance-but you were wrong. It was not Professor Dumbledore who told me that these things were actually what I told Professor Dumbledore." She glanced at Professor McGonagall." I have a little talent for prophecy and can see the fragments of the future."

"Prophecy talent?" Professor McGonagall's eyebrows twitched.

"Well, it's similar to what Professor Trelawney said, but what I see is longer and clearer—"

Elena shrugged, looked for lemon candy in the plate of fruit candy, and explained casually.

"It's just that my'field of sight' is mostly limited to Hogwarts-you should have always wanted to ask about the underground vault, um, I was also involved in it. Because of some kind of wonderful magic, I and Hogwarts Watts’s future resonates and entangles. Therefore, compared to the futures that happened outside of Hogwarts Castle, I see more stories that will happen in the castle in the future... For example, those teaching reform suggestions ..."

She gently squeezed a lemon candy, carefully licked the tip of her tongue from above, narrowed her eyes and said softly.

"You see, I'm not a genius..."

"I just told Professor Dumbledore about the changes that will happen in Hogwarts in the future-if this is a necessary journey for a magical civilization, then I just shortened the distance and walked less. Some detours, nothing more, easy to understand, right?"

"Horizon? Prognostic talent? Professor Trelawney like that?"

Professor McGonagall repeated the sentence again, and the suspicion in his tone was very obvious.

As a Hogwarts teacher, Minerva McGonagall’s personality would not have been the kind of ill-informed colleague, but...

"By the way, there is something about you in the fragments of the future that I have seen—"

At this moment, Elena suddenly spoke, a hint of clever cunning flashed in her eyes.

"After the'future you' took over as the principal of Hogwarts, the great battle happened at Hogwarts. At that time, you used a very powerful'Principal's Magic' to guard the castle. It is said that you have always wanted to try. Curse, if I remember correctly, it should be like this..."

Elena squeezed a chocolate bar in her right hand, opened her posture, and said in a clear voice:

Stone Pier is dispatched)!"

"...Well, I have always wanted to try this spell."

Professor McGonagall was silent for a few seconds, then glanced suspiciously at Elena.

"Speaking of which, you saw Voldemort resurrected in advance? That's why Professor Dumbledore..."

"No, the prophecy does not work like this... I saw Death Eaters flooding into Hogwarts and killing Professor Dumbledore at the Astronomy Tower."

Elena raised her finger and said solemnly, “Most people’s first thought after seeing prophecy is to change the future, but few people know how to do it-if you study prophecy carefully, you will understand. "Knowing the prophecy" in advance is sometimes part of the future. Cassandra Trelawney once believed that fate is inescapable, and based on her, I have made some additional expansion..."

"Just as you can never defeat the wizard chess master who makes the rules of the board, the fate is the same."

"Instead of placing hope in the future, it is better to detonate in the present moment... If we let the story that will happen in the future advance or lose the stage, then the prophecies will inevitably be mutually exclusive, no matter what the future is born after, the destruction of mankind Power is absolutely higher than the restorative power of the world~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Elena smiled and said softly, her blue eyes gleaming with dangerous light.

"If you can't change the future, just destroy it completely—"

"I don't understand, it's with Voldemort and—"

"My'grandfather' will join hands with Professor Dumbledore, together with several of today’s top wizards in the magic world, to encircle and suppress Voldemort, who has just returned to life. If nothing else, you should see this in the news in a few days. Content, this is the information I know."

"Your... Grandpa? Wait, you wouldn't mean--"

Professor McGonagall was stunned for half a second, when she suddenly remembered the news she had just learned last night.

Regarding the life experience of Elena Kaslana and the old demon standing behind the girl, at the same time, she began to realize another more serious issue, compared to Voldemort and Death Eater who were still on the run Only, the potential threat of a certain little witch seems more direct.

More importantly, if Dumbledore is not at Hogwarts, then the child's safety can even be related to...

"Oh, it seems that you finally thought about it with me—"

Elena laughed sweetly, put down the cup of black tea in her hand, and the lady said softly.

"Obviously, with the news that Dumbledore is leaving, it is possible that Voldemort and his party members will take the risk--"

"But don't worry, the saints have almost arrived in Hogsmeade now. We plan to build a batch of temporary fortifications based on the villages and terrain around Hogwarts to guard Hogwarts Castle... This is also Deng One of the reasons why Professor Blido suggested that the school be temporarily closed."

"Well, I will be in charge of the off-campus safety at Hogwarts for the time being-it makes sense for you to take over internal affairs?"
