Mileva hurried back from France.
Yes, it is indeed a great event that the second battlefield suddenly broke through the German French border, which makes the large and small forces in European countries unable to sit down any longer;
Then, yes, Mileva McGonagall, as the current principal of Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry in the UK, has a sense of responsibility and fraternity in her heart. She has been paying attention to this monstrous disaster that has set off in Britain and almost plunged the whole of Europe into Purgatory, thinking about what she can do for people.
But this time she hurried to France at this juncture... To be honest, she rarely did it for a private matter.
To be exact, she went to France to meet two people.
But this morning, aberforth's message from Italy was too important. This made Mileva, who had originally planned to stay in France for a few more days to get a close understanding of the front-line war, had to move back to the community from a long distance.
Of course, she used her entourage to bring the two people she saw together.
"Don't worry, everyone who lives here is not a bad person. In the final analysis, they are just refugees like you... We have something to discuss later, you can just sit and have a rest. Albus is the owner of the bar. He has wine and some simple snacks. I'll ask him to give them to you later Take some... "
It was already dawn. Professor McGonagall, who had just appeared at the intersection with people, was leading two people down the street. As she walked, her pace seemed a little urgent, but her delicious words were gentle and patient, just like chatting with her neighbors.
Seriously, if the little Wizards of Hogwarts saw it, they would think that Professor Mileva McGonagall was a fake - they had never seen Professor McGonagall, who has always been decisive and fierce, have such an "ordinary and simple" side.
If you have to make an analogy... Well, it's like just an ordinary rural Muggle peasant woman!
"... here it is."
Suddenly, Mileva, who was talking, stopped in front of aberforth's house. She was not busy opening the door, but first looked at the expressions on the faces of the two people around her. She seemed to be taking care of their still uneasy mood. After confirming that they were all right, she stretched out her hand and pushed the door open.
Just the moment you step in.
The able, stern and decisive Professor Mileva McGonagall is back!
……
"Click, squeak -"
The door was opened from the outside, so that so many eyes in the room looked at it together - Professor McGonagall came back. But behind each other, there seem to be two strange faces.
Those are two women.
One looks a little old. It's hard to find a few brown hair in his pale hair, and his body is a little bloated. The wrinkles show the ruthlessness of the years, and the rough hands tell the hardships of life.
The other should be much younger. Although there are wrinkles on her forehead, sadness for unknown reasons and the sudden discovery that many people are looking at her cramped, which makes her more conspicuous, she is still a beautiful woman.
Look at their looks, maybe a mother and daughter.
"Mileva," said the curious Slughorn first. After smiling at the two gentlemen, he looked at Professor McGonagall again. "Are these two?"
At the beginning, he had found that these two women seemed to be Muggles.
"My old acquaintance."
MEG obviously didn't intend to make a specific introduction for everyone here. After such a simple sentence, she led people to settle down at the small round table in front of the window.
"Aberforth, please bring some delicious snacks and drinks! They just came back in a hurry, and they haven't had breakfast yet!" she turned back and said after watching them sit down nervously.
In the simple bar, aberforth glanced at several people and turned back to the kitchen without saying anything. Soon, a few dishes of cookies, pastries and two cups of milk floated out of the room and passed over the heads of the people in the house. Finally, the two Muggle women brought by MEG fell steadily on the table of the small round table in their uneasy but inexplicably complex eyes.
"Eat! Aberforth's craftsmanship is actually pretty good. Although his cooking is always plain, the taste is quite pleasing - we all know it recently!"
Professor McGonagall had a mild smile on his face again. As he said this, he first reached out, picked up a cookie from a plate and bit it. After seeing that both of them nodded and calmed down to taste, they turned around again and came to the people gathered around the bar.
Then her eyes finally fell on Snape, who had not made any action since she came in.
"Severus, you --"
"I saw McLean."
Professor McGonagall was just about to ask about Snape's solo visit to the disaster area mentioned by aberforth in his brief communication, but he didn't expect Snape to give a direct answer first.
And this answer, not only McGonagall, but also the other professors present immediately raised their spirits.
In fact, at first, when people didn't come, Snape, as he said to Mrs. Hodge, sat there all the time. Until now, he didn't explain to anyone in advance.
Although everyone was very anxious, after hearing from aberforth and Mrs. Hodge that Snape had gone to today's Britain, everyone wanted to know whether he had seen Harry, Hermione and others who had not returned yet, and whether he had any significant gains. But everyone here basically knows Snape and knows that if the other party doesn't want to say, they probably can't take words out of their mouth, so they can only press impatient and wait patiently.
Because everyone knows that when Professor McGonagall comes back, Snape will certainly speak - although he claims to wait for Qi, most of the people Snape wants to wait are McGonagall.
Looking at Snape's cold and silent look, the news he brought back this time was obviously by no means simple.
However, even if everyone has been leaning in a serious direction in continuous thinking and speculation, they still didn't expect that the news Snape brought to you today was so
"McLean gave up the human body, occupied the devil's body and followed an unknown witch named 'Kern'."
"What!"
For a time, almost everyone lost their voice.
