Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 543: Good things hit one dollar
At this moment, Maca is staring at a beautiful envelope that has been opened, looking around. He feels that the most recent letter seems to be more gorgeous than one, and the content is probably correspondingly less simple.
This letter was just handed to him by Professor McGonagall.
Since he and Professor McGonagall mentioned the little Delphi thing before, Maca could clearly feel the shock in the other party's heart. But apart from that, Professor McGonagall agreed more with his handling. Obviously, giving a baby who doesn’t understand anything a better life is what every Hogwarts should do. The act of choosing.
Following that, Professor McGonagall did not continue to ask Scrimgeour about his intention to promote a Hogwarts-led event. Instead, he first put an envelope with a ribbon and a Pegasus pattern. Arrived in front of Maca.
On the seal of the letter, the bright red lacquer seal was quite conspicuous. He just glanced at it and knew that the letter came from the Bousbaton School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in France.
"Can I open it?"
Although Professor McGonagall has already passed this to him, he naturally wants him to take a look. But the envelope clearly read a small line of "To Ms. Minerva McGonagall". It was a personal letter, and he should check again if it was polite.
"Of course, in fact, you were mentioned in the letter-Mrs. Maxim thought it might be better for you to take a look, after all, you were also one of the original parties." Professor McGonagall motioned to him to open it.
"Participant? Me?" Maca thought about it suspiciously, but did not recall anything related to Booth Barton and Mrs. Maxim, "Then it would be rude..."
As he said, he gently picked up the envelope that had been torn open, and pulled out a piece of letter paper from the inside. The letter paper was neatly folded, and the material of the paper was quite flexible, as if every inconspicuous corner was showing Bussbarton's wealth and taste.
And when he unfolded the letter paper for a moment, the key words on the letter paper immediately revived some of his memories that had faded over time. He remembered that before, he had really tried to mix up a big meddling that said that it was small and small, and that it was big but it could become very big.
"Nick LeMay's legacy?" Maca suddenly said, "Oh, I almost forgot it!"
Yes, when he went to Paris with Lovegood and his daughter, he did meet Nannick Leme’s old butler in Boothbaton, and happened to be involved in the other party and Mrs. Maxim During the conversation.
It's just that he was not as famous as he is now, so he only served as a neutral witness throughout the conversation.
But in the letter before him, Mrs. Maxim pointed out that she might be invited to join him as one of the main candidates to explore the Nick Lemay Alchemy Laboratory.
From this, it can be seen that the current Maca, at least in terms of magical power, is quite convincing. It can even be said that in Mrs. Maxim's heart, he was afraid that he would be enough to complete the things that Dumbledore should have done in this event.
"Let me say yes, I don't actually have much research on alchemy." Maca put down the letter paper and took a sip from the teacup at hand.
In the modern magic world, alchemy is no longer the mainstream magic discipline. Although it is actually quite simple to get started in this subject, there are quite fundamental obstacles-loss of inheritance if you want to study it in depth.
Except for Nick Lemay, a particularly prominent great alchemist, it is difficult to find another qualified alchemist.
And for some reason, that great alchemist rarely has academic exchanges with others, and even the students have confiscated even one. Only Dumbledore, a good friend, had discussed some magical knowledge with him.
By now, Nick Lemay, who was alive at 665 years old, has also passed away. The relatively complete alchemy inheritance in the entire magical world is probably only left in his alchemy laboratory.
Oh, just like the Werther family, maybe there are some ancient alchemy families who are also invisible in this world playing mystery? Who knows?
"There are not many people who understand alchemy...what do you think of this matter?" Professor McGonagall shook his head slightly, and asked about the opinions of Maca who was one of the parties involved.
"Mr. Nick Lemay is to present his life’s research results to the world of magic to share. Since Mrs. Maxim, who has a good relationship with Mr. Lemay, wants to avoid suspicion, then only let you and us Hogwar I’m here to preside over this incident.” Maca analyzed it a little, but then he spread his hands again. “For us at Hogwarts, this incident is almost the same as Mr. Scrimgeour’s proposal to hold an event. It's exactly the same."
"Yes." Professor McGonagall put down the teacup, a little embarrassed. "And, I'm afraid we can only choose one of them, can't we? If we take these two things into our own arms, it will affect the impact. Not good."
It seems that sometimes too many good things can become a difficult problem to choose.
"In terms of results, it must be that Nick Lemay’s legacy is much more important," Maca also felt that it was really difficult to choose, "but correspondingly, higher returns are usually accompanied by higher Risk, if the legacy is not handled well..."
"Not only that...Maca, where is Mr. Scrimgeour?" Professor McGonagall gave him a questioning look, as if he was worried that he would not be able to refuse.
"No, you don’t have to worry about it," Macka said. "The minister is shrewd! He will definitely support everything that is beneficial to him—multi-school joint activities and Nick Lemay’s Regardless of the two things of inheritance, I think he will enthusiastically promote them."
Listening to Maca’s words, Professor McGonagall couldn’t help but nodded, apparently agreeing with him. But in this case, the problem seems to have returned to the dilemma again.
Maca constantly weighs these two things. One has advantages and disadvantages and has a great impact, and the other only has benefits but has a general impact. Moving forward or seeking stability will always make people hesitate.
Same thing as that, who would be happy to vomit out the fat that almost reaches the mouth again?
After a while, when Maca found that he had drunk all the black tea in the cup, he finally put the tea cup on the coaster and made a decision.
"Professor McGonagall, I think...maybe we can merge these two things?" He considered carefully, "Mr. Scrimgeour originally proposed to reopen the Potions Championship, but I just thought about it. Think, why don’t we change to a competition based on alchemy?"
Although there is a mass loss of inheritance, it just means that it is difficult to have an alchemy master like Mr. Nick Lemay. If you only talk about the relatively ordinary alchemy knowledge, there are still many fragments left in this world. For example, the tools in the hands of the Auror of the Ministry of Magic are mostly small and practical alchemy products.
Even if it is no longer a mainstream subject, but because of its small part of daily practicality, there are things that even Fred and George can use in some of their prank inventions.
"Alchemy competition?" Professor McGonagall pondered in his mind, the more he thinks about it, the more he feels feasible, "This will also help restart everyone's interest in alchemy, maybe it will attract some more Alchemy scholars you don’t know... well, it’s indeed an idea worth trying!"
She already understands what Maca means.
Perhaps at that time, at the moment when the championship is decided, they will also usher in the best time to disclose Nick Lemay's alchemy legacy.
"But in this case, letting the students of the magic school participate in this competition, is it a bit too..." Professor McGonagall said suddenly, "You understand, after all, the current alchemy is not in most schools. Within the scope of teaching."
"I think..." Maca thoughtfully said, "Maybe we should discuss this topic with Mr. Minister! Anyway, it is about the public issue of Nick Lemay’s legacy~IndoMTL.com~ whatever You can’t avoid the International Wizarding Federation, right?"
Nick Lemay’s original intention is to use his own research results to improve the alchemy level of the entire magical world. This is such a great thing that the International Wizarding Federation will definitely pay considerable attention. What they have to do now is to gain a firm foothold amidst such major events and win more benefits for Hogwarts.
Maca’s proposal is quite bold. If it succeeds, Hogwarts will take this opportunity to go further and stand taller even as one of the dominant players. But in the end, it will be the International Wizarding Federation that will ultimately be the center of the event. So if there is any mistake that leads to failure, it will also be the International Wizarding Federation that will bear the main responsibility.
As long as you are careful when negotiating, don’t let the burden be thrown on your head by others, the risk that was originally quite high will be greatly reduced.
"You can give it a try," Professor McGonagall finally nodded after thinking about it for a long time. "But things are not in a hurry. We can invite Mr. Scrimgeour to have a chat with him another day."
"Well," Maca also nodded, "I believe he will be very interested."
Operating Hogwarts is by no means easy, and things like this with great influence need to be handled with care. But Professor McGonagall is now the principal of Hogwarts, and she will consider the future of Hogwarts. If she can further develop the school that once took care of herself, then Dumbledore did not believe in vain. She's gone.
After making this decision, both Professor McGonagall and Maca couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The two picked up their tea cups again to take a sip to moisturize their throats, only to find that their respective cups were already empty.
