Chapter 672

As the days go by, the recent temperature also seems to have a gradual upward trend. Although Hogwarts castle is located between the mountains and next to a huge lake, we really need to wear less clothes.

During this time, erns and Alexander seem to get along well with each other and often practice together.

However, that's just "good". For example, Ernst did not intend to tell Alexander about his harvest that night, but naturally buried it in his heart.

However, it was precisely because he wanted to ponder and interpret the characters and symbols on the parchment that he took up a lot of after-school learning time, which led to his vaguely unable to keep up with Alexander's progress.

Of course, the two new things of Ernst and Alexander are only a part of the whole Hogwarts after all. In addition to their surreptitious learning, some noteworthy changes have taken place in other aspects.

Among these changes, the most significant point is the Hogwarts vestibule.

Just in front of the castle gate, a large area of lush turf was replaced by a platform as big as a square overnight. Although there is still nothing on the platform, a few well-informed students have guessed its purpose.

Yes, according to the news spread excitedly by insiders, it must be a special venue for holding the "international alchemy competition". It's just that this event is only to be held in Hogwarts. Almost all the contestants are adult wizards, but they can't catch up with their students.

However, this is a world-class event after all. Even if you can't participate, it must be no problem to watch it. As Hogwarts, which has the advantage of field power and land, most of them can bring convenience for students to enter and watch. Naturally, we have expressed great expectations for such a big event.

Alchemy, once an influential magic discipline in the magic world, still has a reputation even though it has gradually declined. In addition, until a few years ago, Nicole LeMay, a famous master alchemist, occasionally wandered in front of the public for a while, but he was not forgotten in the past.

Maka is getting busier and busier recently. In addition to holding a meeting with several coordinated forces from time to time to make plans for the process of the competition, she also has to take charge of the matters around the competition with Professor McGonagall.

A game is not just planning the game itself. In order to maximize the benefits of Hogwarts in this event, many things can complement each other, including soliciting advertising and earning a lot of jingaron.

Even this seemingly wide square platform is actually paved overnight by Professor Maka and Professor McGonagall.

At present, Professor McGonagall, who has just finished his lecture, is gathering in the principal's room with Maka, who hurried back from the Ministry of magic, for another discussion on Hogwarts's future personnel adjustment.

"... Professor McGonagall, I know you don't trust those students. But now you are the headmaster after all. You have too many things to be busy. It's certainly not possible to go on like this..." Maka sat in the chair beside the desk and earnestly advised, "I dare say you haven't had enough sleep for a long time?"

"I'm fine, Marca." MEG looked at him kindly with a gentle smile on his face. "Thank you. I know you care about me... But it really doesn't matter. You know, it's only temporary. As long as the alchemy contest is over..."

"Professor McGonagall!" Maka had to interrupt, "Wizards are also human beings and need enough rest to recover their spirit. Magic medicine can only be an emergency means... Although this is not very convincing to me, but... Professor, I can't help saying here - if you don't agree, I won't provide you with those potions next!"

During this time, Maka consumed a lot of Bafei refreshing agents, sobering agents and vitality tonics, most of which were used by Professor McGonagall. He didn't care about those consumption, but worried that Professor McGonagall's physique would double the potion precipitation effect.

The age of a wizard has the advantage of being old. At least the spirit will increase year by year, and the power of casting magic will also increase, but the physique is just the opposite.

If the potion ingredients precipitate excessively in the body, it will cause damage to the body. Young wizards can also slowly expel them out of the body by self-regulation of the body, but it may not be possible with the self-regulation ability of old wizards.

"Then I'll go to Severus. He'll be ready for me..."

For Maka's "little threat", MEG showed a naughty smile and gently blinked his eyes.

In Marca's eyes, Professor McGonagall's move was naturally to comfort him. But it must be said that at this moment, he saw a shadow of Dumbledore from McGonagall.

Dumbledore often showed this childlike naughtiness. Of course, those little wizards who didn't understand the accident made fun of secretly, but Maka knew that this calm was actually a real maturity.

"Professor..." Maka opened her mouth, but finally sighed. "Well, let's put it aside for the time being! But I'll say it first. I won't put down looking for a new professor of deformation."

He said so, but in the end, Professor McGonagall can't shirk his responsibility. Isn't it because it's very difficult to find a professor of deformation?

According to Hogwarts' practice, every required course must invite a wizard with outstanding professional strength as a professor. That is, in the past, the so-called "Voldemort curse" led to the color change of witches' talk, so they had to lower their job requirements again and again.

In addition, there have been rumors that "Hogwarts's deformation professor is the preparatory principal". Although this kind of school regulation does not exist at all, it makes some sense in terms of the characteristics of deformation.

To put it bluntly, it is just a word - difficult.

If you want to make achievements in metamorphosis, wisdom, perseverance, perseverance and even objective rationality are indispensable. People with such qualities will be a rare talent wherever they are. But that's why it's so easy to find a deformation master?

"Well, that's all right!" Professor McGonagall nodded with satisfaction. "If you can find the right person, I can rest assured... So..."

"Then," continued Marca, "nature is alchemy."

……

As for the conversation between Maka and MEG after that, in fact, they just put forward an idea first. The discussion derived from this idea can only be carried out concretely in the future, which is too early for now.

Marca came out of the headmaster's room with a thoughtful expression on her face, but soon he put the considerations in his mind on hold temporarily.

However, his expression did not relax much, but became deeper.

In fact, Maka has never forgotten since the beginning of school this year. So far, he is still a professor working in demstrom and sent abroad through the Education Department of the Federation. And if he doesn't forget, will Professor McGonagall forget?

There is a dispatch period. According to the regulations, it is one to two academic years. If it is according to the shortest time limit, he is estimated to have taught and educated in demstrom.

However, Professor McGonagall never mentioned this problem to him once. Obviously, he didn't want to use human relations to increase his psychological burden. Although they both know that as long as Meg asks to stay, Marca won't leave on her own.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help turning back and staring at the door of the headmaster's office for a moment. Then he turned and went downstairs.

If the longest period of assignment comes, with Maka's current reputation in the magic world, demstrom will definitely try to call him back, even if he hasn't been there for a day from beginning to end.

Of course, he can refuse, but as far as the consequences of refusal are concerned, once demstrom goes to the international wizard Federation to make trouble, it may have a bad impact on Hogwarts's reputation.

"In fact, these things are easy to solve, and the key is..." Marca hesitated as she walked down the stairs. "Do I really want to be a professor in Hogwarts all my life?"

Unfortunately, things are always unpredictable, and plans usually can't keep up with changes. His hesitation was in vain.

Since she couldn't figure it out for a moment, Maka didn't think about it any more, but picked up another worry from her stomach.

"I'd better talk to her again..."

Thinking so, he suddenly turned a corner when he went down to the second floor and went straight to the classroom of defense against the dark arts.

At this point, the first graders of Ravenclaw and Gryffindor should be there. Calculate the time. As long as it takes more than ten minutes, the class will almost be over.

On the way to the destination, passing by the history of magic classroom, Maka looked in at random. Mr. Bince kasbert, Hogwarts's only ghost Professor, was still talking behind the podium as usual, while the little wizards below were sleepy as usual.

But just then, in another classroom behind the corner in front of the corridor, there was a sudden cry, waking up the dozing students in this classroom.
