Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 2504: Macatha is no longer a man
Minerva hurried back from France.
Yes, the sudden breakthrough of the German-French border this time on the second battlefield is indeed an incredible event, making European countries no longer able to sit on their chairs;
Then, yes, Minerva McGonagall, as the current principal of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, has a sense of responsibility and fraternity in her heart. The catastrophic catastrophes that have fallen into purgatory have always been watching, thinking about what they can do for people.
It's just that this time she hurried to France at this juncture... To be honest, she rarely did it for a personal matter.
To be precise, she went to France to meet two people.
But this morning, the news from Aberforth from Italy was too important. This made Minerva, who originally planned to stay in France for a few more days and had a closer look at the battle on the frontline after seeing people, had to apparate from a long distance and rush back to the community.
Of course, she used her entourage to reveal the two people she saw along with her.
"Don’t worry, everyone who lives here is not a bad person. After all, they are all just like you. They are all fugitives...in a moment we have something to discuss, so just sit by and take a break. . Aberforth is the owner there. He was originally a bar owner. He has wine and some simple snacks. I will ask him to get you some..."
The sky is already bright, and Professor McGonagall, who just showed up at the intersection with someone, is leading two people down the street at this time. As she walked, the pace seemed a little rush, but the words in her mouth were gentle and patient, as if she was chatting with her neighbors.
Seriously, if I was seen by the little wizards at Hogwarts, I would think that Professor Minerva McGonagall is a fake-they have never seen it and have always been decisive The stern Professor McGonagall would have such an "ordinary and simple" side.
To make an analogy... well, it's like just an ordinary Muggle peasant woman in the countryside!
"...here, this is the one."
Suddenly, Minerva, who was babbling and talking, stopped in front of Aberforth's house. She was not busy opening the door, but first glanced at the expressions on the faces of the two people next to her. She seemed to be taking care of the still a little uneasy emotions of the two of them. After confirming that they were okay, she stretched out her hand and pushed the door open.
It was just the moment when I stepped forward.
The able, stern and decisive Professor Minerva McGonagall on weekdays is back!
……
"Click, squeak--"
The door was pulled open from the outside, so that so many eyes in the room looked at it together—Professor McGonagall was back. It's just that behind the other party, two strange faces still seem to follow.
These are two women.
One person looks a little old, it's hard to find a few brown hairs in his pale hair, and his body is a little bloated. The wrinkles on the face show the ruthlessness of the years, and the rough hands tell the hardships of life.
The other one should be a lot younger. Although her forehead was wrinkled, the sadness of unknown reason and the sudden discovery that many people were looking at her made it more conspicuous, but she was still a beautiful woman.
Look at the appearance of the two, maybe it's a mother and daughter.
"Minerva," the curious Slughorn took the lead. After smiling at the two gentlemen, she looked at Professor McGonagall again, "are these two?"
At the very beginning, he had discovered that these two women seemed to be Muggles.
"My old knowledge."
Mag obviously didn't intend to make a specific introduction for everyone here. After such a simple sentence, she led the people to settle down at the small round table in front of the window.
"Aberforth, please come over with some delicious snacks and drinks! I was in a hurry just now, they have not used breakfast yet!" After watching the two sit down nervously, she went back Speak personally.
In the simple bar, Aberforth glanced at a few people, then turned back to the kitchen behind without saying anything. Soon, a few plates of cookies and pastries and two cups of milk floated out from inside, over the heads of everyone in the house, and finally looked at the disturbed, but inexplicable, somewhat complicated gazes of the two Muggle ladies that McGonagall brought. It landed steadily on the table top of the small round table.
"Let's eat! Aberforth's craftsmanship is actually pretty good. The things he makes are always unpretentious, but the taste is quite pleasing-we all only recently learned about it!"
Professor McGonagall had another gentle smile on his face. After saying that, he first reached out and took a bite of a cookie from a plate. After seeing both of them nodding their heads and calming down to taste, they turned around again and came to the crowd who were mostly gathered near the bar.
Then, her gaze finally fell on Snape who hadn't moved anything since she came in.
"Severus, you--"
"I saw McLean."
Professor McGonagall was about to ask about the fact that Aberforth mentioned Snape's trip to the disaster area alone, but he didn't expect Snape to answer directly.
And this answer, not only McGonagall, but the rest of the professors and others who were present also immediately got up to the point.
In fact, at first, when the crowd was not there, Snape had been sitting there forever as he told Mrs. Hooch until now, without giving any explanation to anyone in advance.
Although everyone is very anxious~IndoMTL.com~ After hearing from Aberforth and Mrs. Hooch that Snape had gone to England now, everyone wanted to know if he had seen him yet. Are there any significant gains for the returned Harry, Hermione and others? But everyone here basically knows Snape, knowing that if the other party doesn't want to say it, most of them can't get a word out of his mouth, so they can only press and wait impatiently.
Because everyone knows that when Professor McGonagall comes back, Snape will definitely speak up-even though he claims to wait for everyone to come, most of the people Snape has to wait for are McGonagall.
Looking at Snape's cold and silent expression, the news he brought back this time was obviously not simple.
However, even if the big guy has been leaning in a serious direction in constant thinking and speculation, he still did not expect that the news that Snape brought to everyone today was so much...
"McLean gave up the human body, occupied the demon's body, and followed an unknown witch named'Kern'."
"What!"
For a time, almost everyone murmured in silence.
