Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 1492: Minerva’s shelter
Actually, there hasn’t been a long time since the start of the study tour program. But in the hearts of all the teachers and students at Hogwarts, the ups and downs of campus life seems to have been a long time ago.
Yes, including Harry, Hermione, Ron and others who are currently taking care of the survivors in Spiral Town, including students of all grades and accompanying professors who travel the world on the Transformation.
For example, Hagrid, who looks unusually rough on the outside, but is extremely slender on the inside, has been chewing on fish bones and wiping away tears with a napkin at dinner time for several days recently.
Naturally, Minerva McGonagall, who loved Hogwarts so much, actually began to miss school time soon after she left the UK.
If it weren’t for Maca’s phrase "Hogwarts is where students are", maybe McGonagall would not accompany the study tour plan, but chose to stay on the campus silently to guard the one that belongs to him, It also belongs to everyone's beautiful place.
However, Trelawney's sudden doomsday prophecy finally burst out of her anxiety.
Actually, although Minerva McGonagall is indeed a good teacher who loves students very much, her feelings for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry...or in other words, the place "Hogwarts Castle", On the contrary, it is particularly victorious.
Because in Minerva McGonagall's heart, Hogwarts is not only her workplace, but also a "shelter"-like place she has found most suitable for her.
At this moment, she had already returned to school, standing at the gate of the castle, looking up at this building that had been so familiar for decades.
In her mind, memories that have faded but are still exceptionally clear are slowly circulating.
……
In 1935, Minerva was born in an ordinary rural Muggle family. Her father Robert McGonagall was a pastor of a Muggle church.
As for her mother, she is a Muggle woman who locked her wand and concealed her identity as a witch.
Before Minerva's magical runaway, her father didn't even know that his wife, who had lived peacefully with him for more than ten years, was a wizard who could use magic.
However, perhaps Minerva's mother was willing to give up her magical life for her love, but the little Minerva was full of longing and curiosity about the mysterious and unknown world.
At the age of eleven, Minerva, who received her admission letter, first came into contact with Hogwarts, and immediately fell in love with this place where she could fully display her talents.
She quickly became the best student in her grade, whether it was written magic theory or various practical subjects, even Quidditch was quite good.
Finally, during her seven-year student career, Minerva graduated from Hogwarts with the highest grade in all subjects, and received an appointment letter from the Law Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic on the day of graduation.
However, just during the months when she returned to her hometown to spend her last summer vacation, and then moved to London to work, Minerva McGonagall, who was at the age of eighteen, met with her on the ridge of her hometown. The only man she had ever loved in her life met.
What makes people even more surprised is that she, who has always loved the magical world, fell in love with a Muggle man just like her mother.
After all, Minerva and her mother are quite different. Due to the existence of the "Secrecy Act", when she had to face the two absolute options of "lock up the magic wand" and "give up love", she finally chose magic and ideals.
However, during the next two years of work and life, Minerva gradually realized the gap between ideals and reality.
To be honest, her boss was actually a very good wizard at the time, and during the long time of working together, she had a vague affection for the beautiful Minerva.
Unfortunately, a certain group of colleagues who strongly discriminate against Muggles and the figure of first love that still exists somewhere in Minerva’s heart made Minerva hate her life in London more and more.
Finally, late one night, Minerva, who was tossed and could not sleep, wrote a cover letter on impulse and sent it to Hogwarts quite abruptly.
It must be said that although Minerva was still excellent at the time, she was even getting promoted in the Ministry of Magic. Maybe her level of magic at that time was actually not enough to be a professor at Hogwarts.
What's more, Hogwarts actually doesn't have many precedents for actively seeking jobs. The professors of the past generations are basically selected and hired by the principal or four deans.
However, only a few hours passed, and the owl brought her a letter of offer just as it was getting dark.
Perhaps it was Minerva’s impulsive application letter that was full of moving and true feelings. Dumbledore, then dean of Gryffindor College and professor of metamorphology, accepted her application. And gave her a position of assistant professor in the Department of Transformation.
Facts have proved that Hogwarts is like a paradise compared to the dull, cramped, and intriguing work environment of the Ministry of Magic.
Under the protection of Hogwarts and the support of Dumbledore, Minerva grew up quickly.
In just half a year, Minerva, who devoted herself to studying teaching work and constantly improving herself, was recognized by Dumbledore and the principal at the time and officially became a teacher who could teach independently.
To be honest, she thanked Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which educates herself, protects herself, and provides her with a huge space for display. She also thanked Dumbledore who was able to break through the routine and hired herself.
It is worth mentioning that it was during that six months that she accidentally learned about the recent situation of the first love she had missed from her mother's letter.
When she learned that the Muggle man who had been rejected by herself, waited for nearly three years before finally giving up, and now she has married a farmer’s daughter~IndoMTL.com~Minerva is in a room Weeping in the empty classroom.
At that time, it was Dumbledore who comforted her with his sad past that he had never told anyone about. Dumbledore's past made her understand that everything in the world is indeed always impermanent, and only by continuing to look forward can she see the beauty of life.
There is no doubt that it was Dumbledore who pulled herself up when she fell into a trough two consecutive times in her life. In retrospect, Minerva would often realize that she already owed the school and Dumbledore too much.
……
Now, while remembering, Minerva walked to the door of the classroom that used to be. She couldn't help raising her wrist and gently wiping the slightly wet corner of her eye.
She walked slowly into the unmanned classroom, stroking the desks with various old scratches in the front row, and walked all the way to the side near the window.
She remembers very clearly that the place where she was sitting when she was a relatively petite figure, has always been here.
"Professor Dumbledore, it really hasn't changed at all!"
