Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 648: Welcome
In the evening, Maca is still in his office for the final check of the preparations for the new semester. When the setting sun slowly falls to the right of the desk from the gap between the curtains, he finally opens the notebook in front of him. Closed gently.
"...The time is almost there. I will check with Professor McGonagall about the last few links of the game, and then go to the back door to prepare for the new students."
After stretching a lot of laziness casually, Maca stood up and was about to walk around the desk to the door, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of a dark shadow passing by the window.
"What...a carriage?"
He stopped immediately, and then backed two steps to open the curtains a little bit.
It turns out that he was not wrong. From him, you can see that there is a black carriage dragged by two flying horses gliding towards the castle. Just the "pinch of earth" family crest on the carriage, Maca can see the future at a glance. The identity was distinguished.
"It turns out that the genius girl from Hohenheim's house is here," he put the curtains that were blocking him, turned and walked to the corridor outside the door, "Since it's that little girl, let me go!"
Maca is thinking about this, while walking down the stairs to the entrance hall. But when he walked out from the front entrance of the castle to the lawn in the vestibule, he found that the carriage did not go directly inside, but dropped to the ground outside the gate of the school.
"Miss Hornheim, why are you so polite? Didn't I say that last time? We come to Hogwarts as a guest on weekdays, and we usually let our guests park the carriage on the lawn in the front court..." He rushed to the university. In front of the door, waved to remove the defensive curse on the door, and then opened the door to welcome out, "Oh, isn't this Mr. Davide? Last time, we were gone for a while at Boothbatten!"
That’s right, the one who commanded Pegasus on the way in the coachman’s seat today is still the Mr. Ghost who was with the fat man.
"Haha, yes--" Specter Davide stood by the side of the carriage, nodded at Maca, and smiled cheerfully, "Mr. McLean, from today onwards, our lady will ask you Take care of her. She can learn magic under the guidance of your famous wizard. That is the blessing of our Hohenheim family!"
"Where can I be taken care of!" Maca waved his hand. "Miss Hornheim is clever and smart, and she has an extraordinary knowledge of alchemy. In the final analysis, this must be a blessing for me and the whole Hogwarts. Yeah!"
Like this kind of mutual flattery social rhetoric, both sides are very skilled, you lift me, I lift you again, but this ghost of a living person is not changing his face and heartbeat, and his face is thick enough to his hometown. went.
Just when the two were chatting happily, the door of the carriage was gently pushed open from the inside, followed by a cute little girl down to the side of the horse road.
"Professor McLean, Sarah greets you..." She leaned forward slightly, with a full demeanor, "In the past few meetings, Sarah has been rude, and the professor can forgive Sarah for her mistakes. From today, Sarah will be studying at Hogwarts, Sarah will definitely follow the professor to study hard."
As she said, today this little girl is indeed much more honest than the previous few times. For a while, Maca didn't know what horrible idea she was thinking about again.
"It’s okay, it’s okay, what to forgive and not forgive—" Maca smiled, "Come on, come in! After a while, the other freshmen should almost be there, and then you will prepare with them. Attend the Hogwarts Sorting Ceremony, and then you can have a good dinner!"
"Ah, no...no, Mr. McLean." David the ghost quickly refused, "I have to go back right away. The Patriarch asked me to do something else tomorrow morning! Sorry, sorry... "
"This...really don't you stay and sit for a while?"
Maca, of course, is fake and polite. People are ghosts. They are floating all day long, even on the carriage. Where can I "take a seat"? What's more, even if Davide stayed to attend the welcome dinner, he could only watch other people eat and drink, but he couldn't even smell the smell, so it felt so bad!
After seeing Da Vader "driving" the carriage again to the high altitude and gradually away, Maca took the exceptionally gifted Miss Hornheim back to the main entrance of the castle. And behind them, a small beautifully decorated suitcase floated steadily under the control of Maca, moving forward with them a little bit.
Although the suitcase has not been subjected to the Unmarked Stretching Curse, it has undergone alchemy transformation, but unlike the Alexander's, it has the same volume and capacity on the outside and inside.
"Miss Hohenheim, before your classmates arrive, please take a break in the side hall next to the auditorium! Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something..." Maca asked as he walked." There are snacks and desserts on the train. It is our Hogwarts practice to sit in the carriage and share with classmates. If you have the opportunity in the future, I suggest you try to take a ride... here it is. Small hall."
"Thank you...but no need, Professor McLean." Sarah followed him and walked into the side hall. "If you have anything else, you can leave first-Sarah can just wait here for a while. "
"How can this work!" Maca took the lead to sit in a chair, and then said, "Oh, don't get me wrong. Actually, I didn't stay here because of you. It's the same with other new students. Do you think, as a professor, how can I leave a freshly enrolled student here alone?"
After that, Maca accompanied her to sit in this side hall for a while. Although the two did not stop talking from start to finish, what they said was nothing but nutritious nonsense. Whenever Maca wanted to ask about her thoughts and opinions on something, no matter what trivial matter it was, she would avoid it without a trace.
But while talking, Maca gradually tasted some flavors-now Sarah’s attitude of "similar to near not near, far from far" when facing him is not like it is Was it the way he felt when he faced Dumbledore?
This is a state of wanting to gain something from the opponent while clearly knowing that the opponent is strong and treating it with caution. So that when dealing with the sense of distance between the two sides, there will always be such a little embarrassment, because she is not sure whether such a distance is enough to keep her secrets.
"Oh, I think I should go back to meet your classmates." Although I have to wait a while, since Maca realized the reason for her deliberate sense of distance, she naturally stopped embarrassing her. Again, "Wait, you will be able to see them soon..."
After leaving the side hall, Maca couldn't help but chuckle.
When I saw Dumbledore at the beginning of the year, the actual situation was almost the same as before. He kept his mind on guard, even deliberately letting go of his thoughts. Now that he thinks about it, Dumbledore must have seen it long ago. It's no wonder that afterwards Dumbledore would directly mention his magical runaways, and indirectly let himself put aside some unnecessary guards.
Maka recalled the ignorance of those years, and went straight to the back door along the corridor, then leaned against the wall and waited for Hagrid to bring the little wizards from the lake to the castle.
After another moment, the sky outside was completely dark. When he heard the messy and dense footsteps mixed with the buzzing of soft conversations coming from outside the door, he knew that today's batch of freshmen had finally arrived.
"Boom boom boom——"
Hagrid's fist is as strong as ever, even if the back door is not much thinner than the front door, but he can still knock the thick door bang.
Maca waved his hand to open the door, and then walked two steps head-on to the steps outside the door.
"Professor McLean, first-year freshman."
In order to maintain the majesty of the professor in front of the students, Hagrid rarely called Maca once by his surname and position. Somehow, popping out of his mouth always made Maca feel a little uncomfortable.
"Okay, Professor Hagrid." Maca nodded and said, "Leave it to me-everyone will follow me, keep up, and be careful not to fall behind!"
When these little guys saw Maca, most of them looked left and right in surprise. In fact, except for the small group of Muggle-born students whom Maca had contact with, those who hadn't seen him were hesitant.
No way, Maca's face is a bit too "tender". Nowadays, he is well-known in the magical world, so there are a lot of such troubles, but these new students may not be clear.
Of course, new students are new students after all~IndoMTL.com~ I am still in awe of this magnificent and mysterious Hogwarts castle. Even if they were somewhat suspicious of this surprisingly young professor, they were still relatively honest to follow.
After Makar led them through the long corridor and led them to the small hall where Sarah was, he beckoned to Sarah who was coming here.
"She, like you, is also a freshman enrolled this year. Let's get along well in the future!" He said, "Then...yes, welcome to Hogwarts! Perhaps some of you have already heard about it-in Before you enjoy a delicious dinner, you must first help you find the college you want to enter. This is Hogwarts’s custom and Hogwarts’ rules."
"You will go to class, do homework, eat, and sleep with classmates from the same college. If the school is a big family, then the college is each family in the family. Hogwarts has four colleges, They are..."
Maca stood in front of the hall calmly talking about the sorting house, and sent some warnings to the little wizards by the way.
Among the crowd, Alexander and Ensi, the two children who have been in contact with Maca the most, also raised their heads. Although they looked at Maca with different eyes, they all carried similar longings and longings. .
