Immediately afterwards, a burst of warm cheers suddenly erupted from the Gryffindor House table.
And Umbridge's face darkened visibly, and her disgustingly sweet fake smile finally couldn't hold out any longer.
"The Acting Headmaster of Hogwarts will undergo a rigorous and detailed review," she said viciously, "Have you really considered facing the past frankly?"
"Well...that's right. I don't think my past is anything to be ashamed of."
Professor McGonagall took a breath, looked at Umbridge's gloomy fat face, and said calmly and forcefully.
"On the contrary, it's you, it's too late to quit now...I won't let Hogwarts fall into the hands of wizards like you."
From the moment she stood up, Mag made up her mind: maybe the wounds from the past would be opened and exposed to the sun, and there would be some pain.
However, the pain was nothing compared to letting Hogwarts Castle fall into the hands of Ministry of Magic bureaucrats.
"The new headmaster of Hogwarts has appeared..."
At the long table of Hufflepuff House, Elena held a piece of bread and stood up.
"Okay, it's time for me to fulfill some of my promises. It's almost time for the wind to start at the Ministry of Magic."
"Huh? Elena, but the real competition comes later - the voting among the candidates for acting principal, and the observation..."
"There's no need - it's over."
Elena glanced at the older cat girl on the faculty seat.
"Look carefully, Professor McGonagall, does she look like she is glowing..."
Compared with the situation in the original work where he was ordered to do something in danger after many twists and turns, Professor McGonagall has obviously not experienced enough hardships in the offline world today.
The crisis at Hogwarts is not that big, and Dumbledore is still active somewhere in the world, giving people spiritual support that they can rely on.
However, as Professor McGonagall has chosen to face all her past, she no longer has any weaknesses.
Just like Dumbledore who walked out of Hogwarts decades ago, McGonagall is ready to become the headmaster.
And now...
Elena twitched her fingers at Hermione.
"Let's go to the principal's office together. Mr. Hanged Man is already here."
"Is Professor Lockhart coming back?" Hermione asked in surprise.
But Elena shook her head slightly with a subtle expression.
"He will not come back. Hogwarts Castle is too small to carry his ideals - Lockhart is the most wonderful wizard I have ever met. Have you not seen the comparison done by Gringotts last year? He
It highly overlaps with Tom Riddle in many places and is very similar." She said with interest, "He seems to be an embryo that may become the Dark Lord at any time..."
"There is absolutely no way Professor Lockhart can become a dark wizard." Hermione corrected with great determination.
"Yes, that's the best thing." Elena replied wagging her finger. "Therefore, he is very suitable to run for Minister of Magic."
"Eh?!"
Hermione found it difficult to follow Elena's thoughts.
Because sometimes, the other party will suddenly start a strange topic from a strange angle.
Elena obviously understood Hermione's confusion. In fact, most people in the magical society still don't understand what will happen in the next few months.
Instead of staying in the auditorium, while everyone was still chatting excitedly and the sterile conversation in the faculty seats continued, Hermione and Elena sneaked out.
Luna maintains the magical afterimage left by Elena in the auditorium - this is not a troublesome thing for her.
And Hannah has another task, she is also responsible for finishing the remaining food for two people...
As the official competition for "Acting Headmaster" begins, some of the powers of the Hogwarts Headmaster will inevitably shift from being vacant to being equally shared.
The house elves in Hogwarts may become a breakthrough at any time, and Elena is not going to fall down again on small details - Professor McGonagall had better not worry too much about things.
Under Hermione's guidance, Elena arrived at the principal's office without any hindrance.
Lockhart stood next to the ugly stone lion, still wearing the forget-me-not colored wizard robe dotted with star patterns.
However, compared to the frivolous and impetuous young wizard he once was, Lockhart's face now has an indescribable calmness.
