Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 444: Not the same heavy
Hogwarts had accidents one after another, and finally some parents couldn't bear it anymore.
Even during this period of time, Guidro Lockhart would carry out soothing propaganda activities in front of the public from time to time, but the frequent occurrence of incidents made his propaganda effect continue to decline.
In the early morning of the next day, as guardians of nearly twenty students came to Hogwarts and asked to meet with Professor McGonagall, the reporters quickly got news and rushed to Hogwarts.
It is foreseeable that tomorrow’s newspaper will definitely not look good.
Of course, these parents are parents after all, and it is a matter of course for them to think about the safety of their children. In this regard, there is nothing wrong with their behavior, and no one can stop them from picking up their children.
Because of his feelings for Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall is naturally trying to stay. But even if the students are willing to stay in school, most of them can't help their parents.
In the end, at Hogwarts, eleven students dropped out and three dropped out, including five Ravenclaw who were injured in the incident last night.
Among the little wizards who are still recuperating, the more serious ones have been transferred to the St. Mungo’s Hospital for Magical Injuries, while the less serious ones have been taken home directly.
To be honest, this number will definitely increase as soon as the relevant report comes out tomorrow. As a result, Hogwarts' good reputation will inevitably appear to be cracked.
After sending away the parents of the students with a smile, Professor McGonagall's mood was obviously depressed.
Dumbledore died not long after, and this happened before his public funeral was officially held. Professor McGonagall suddenly felt a deep sense of guilt in his heart.
She can clearly feel that the gap between herself and Dumbledore is indescribable.
As for Maca, Professor McGonagall is actually very clear. Just by looking at the teacher attendance sheet, she knew how much energy Maca had expended for the school and how much trouble she had solved silently.
But Professor McGonagall knows better, no matter how capable and talented Maca is, it is only a child!
For a child to run around and tired, even to fight against all kinds of darkness, Professor McGonagall's heart is almost piled up. But if that weren't the case, I'm afraid Hogwarts would not be in a simple situation where a dozen students dropped out.
Looking at the parents and their children, accompanied by Filch, they walked towards the main entrance of the school, Professor McGonagall sighed very rarely.
"McLean, if you are tired, you can take a break."
Maca, who was standing on the side of the castle gate, turned his head when he heard the words and gave Professor McGonagall a little surprised. Because in the other party's tone, he heard a very gentle tone.
Minerva McGonagall, who has always been serious and tough, will not easily show softness.
To be honest, no matter how strong a person is, he will show weakness in certain situations. This is true even if the wisdom is as superb as Dumbledore, let alone other people.
Maca knew that Professor McGonagall must have been under too much pressure.
"Professor," Maca whispered, "I’m actually fine, but I just sell my strength from time to time. On the contrary, it’s you. It’s a difficult thing to keep the whole school running. You have more responsibility than mine. It’s a lot harder."
He paused, then turned to persuade: "Don't set yourself too high a goal because of Professor Dumbledore, it will only create more unnecessary pressure on yourself. Now is the same as the past. It's different. Your burden is definitely heavier than Professor Dumbledore."
"What we need to do now is for everyone to do their best-please don't put the whole Hogwarts on yourself."
As a school principal with a long history and world-renowned reputation, he must be struggling and walking on thin ice, even if there is an "agent" in front of the principal's name.
Maca can't do this kind of messenger, so he understands the weight of it better.
When Professor McGonagall was blinded by the pressure, Maca didn't mind trying to clear the obstacles for her, because he could and could only do it.
"...good boy."
Professor McGonagall thought for a moment, then suddenly turned his head and smiled at him, as kind as an ordinary grandmother. Then in the next moment, her face was covered with severeness again, as if the glimpse that Maca saw just now was just an illusion.
"McLean, I have worked hard for you during this time. But the situation will be more severe in the future. If something happens again, I hope you can continue to stay with me to guard this Hogwarts that belongs to everyone! "
"Of course." Maca nodded slightly.
"Also," Professor McGonagall paused for a while, and quickly continued, "It's time for Christmas soon, and after the Christmas dinner is a holiday-Dumbledore's funeral will be held publicly during the holidays ."
"Well," Maca heard the words, and immediately agreed with the truth, "The funeral is held in public to convey our confidence to the public. It is not necessary to involve all students. After all..."
After all, this funeral will probably not be peaceful-Maca didn't say this. But even if he didn't say it clearly, Professor McGonagall knew it all right.
Declaring that Hogwarts has enough confidence to resist foreign enemies will not only give parents a little peace of mind, but also show their determination to the power of darkness. In addition, whether Dumbledore is dead or not, this will also become the fear in the hearts of the dark wizards who intend to encroach on Hogwarts.
Because of this, although there will certainly not be any big scenes, large-scale and full-scale attacks, small-scale temptations are mostly inevitable.
Leave aside Greenward, at least Voldemort would never miss this opportunity.
After Maca and Professor McGonagall had a few more talks about the silent person last night, Professor McGonagall who still had countless tasks to complete soon left.
Maca thought for a while, then went back to the school hospital ward to accompany Luna.
Although he actually wanted to take Hermione to the secret island of Rowena, trying to convince the group of elves as soon as possible. But right now, he really didn't want to leave Luna's side, because that would always make him uneasy.
Just like this time, even though he was more or less vigilant from the beginning, he was always on guard for those refugees from Greece. For this reason, he even deliberately avoided too much contact with Luna, for fear that Luna would be targeted by some unruly people.
But who knows, under the situation of lack of skills, there is still an irreversible tragedy.
He doesn't want to come here again!
So, he decided to wait for Luna to recover completely before taking her to the island to meet the elves. As long as Luna stays by her side, it will at least reassure him a lot.
"...Are you not going to do something today?"
In the ward, Luna half leaned on the raised pillows, looking at Maca with misty eyes. Her words were still ethereal and comfortable, as if what happened last night had nothing to do with her, she didn't care.
"Well," Maca smiled gently, "I always feel like I haven't been sitting with you for a long time. There is nothing wrong with you today, I will be here with you."
"Really?" Luna tilted her head, stared at Maca up and down, and said with interest, "I heard that you went to the United States. Have you encountered any interesting things?"
"Of course there are, and there are quite a few!" Maca nodded, "Yes, there is one thing you will be interested in-I saw a thunderbird over there!"
"Oh--" Luna seemed to be a little surprised, and her trance eyes became clearer, "Then it must be windy! They will create storms..."
"Yes, the wind is strong." Maca smiled. "It is said that they are close relatives to the phoenix, but apart from the tail feathers, I really don't see where they are'close'? I imagined them to be bigger. According to me, they are at least not inferior to the fire dragon in size..."
By the sunny window, Maca deliberately picked some things from a peaceful perspective, and slowly shared them with Luna. Although the darkness he encountered was obviously deeper than the light, he really didn’t want to pollute this pure-hearted girl with those disgusting people and things~ IndoMTL.com~ During the gradual conversation between the two, time one Little by little, they seem to have returned to the leisure time that they had been together quietly in the mountains behind Lovegood's home.
……
However, Luna and Maca deliberately suppressed the gloom, Hermione and the others are completely low.
About Helen, Hermione's heart is very complicated. She obviously had a good impression of the girl, and when she learned that Helen had become the murderer of her classmates inexplicably, it took a while before she accepted the fact.
But after she accepted, endless regrets grew in her heart.
Maca did not misread it last night. At that time, Hermione and the three of them all rushed to the hall quickly and had a brief meeting with Maca. And Luna, who was holding Maca in his arms, was naturally seen by them.
Hermione thought she would be jealous, but afterwards she realized that she was full of worries at the time. Luna is a good girl, although she often makes some weird actions, but her heart is undoubtedly pure and kind.
For a girl like Luna, not only was she unable to be jealous, but she couldn't stop blaming herself for misbelieving in Helen.
For Hermione who was silent because of this, Harry and Ron somewhat understood, because they were also secretly afraid.
In the aftermath of this incident, the emotions of the three little lions in Gryffindor College fell into a trough. It is precisely because they believe in the power of friendship that they are even more suspicious of this.
Although Maca caused some misunderstandings, at least it ended well. But this time, what was placed in front of them was the truth—someone had really deceived their friendship.
In this silence, Ron, who was also heavy, suddenly raised his head.
