Minerva McGonagall, Vice-Principal of Hogwarts, Head of Gryffindor House, and Director of Transfiguration.
Once upon a time, witches were very satisfied with their jobs. They were professional, trusted by their colleagues, relied on by their leaders, and were well paid. Isn’t it the ideal working environment for a worker?
The problem is that the "reliance" of leaders is getting heavier and heavier, especially since the beginning of this semester. For nearly two months, the real principal has seemed to have disappeared from the world.
Course arrangements, daily purchases, performance accounting and other things are all done by her, but it doesn't matter.
But after Dumbledore disappeared, all the bad things from the Ministry of Magic and the School Board were thrown at her, making Professor McGonagall very unhappy.
At her core, a witch is a person who values honor, abides by rules, and has a strong sense of morality. However, the characteristics of the people she has to deal with are almost completely opposite to her.
As if they were born with different compatibility, Mag would be very bored every time he came into contact with them.
As the principal disappeared for a longer period of time, the fire of frustration in Professor McGonagall's heart continued to accumulate, and finally it was about to explode yesterday - she rushed to the principal's office after receiving the news, but failed again.<
/p>
So when the two met at the stairs, the temperature in the air seemed to have dropped a bit.
After feeling the aura accumulated in Minerva, Ani decisively chose to run away when Dumbledore asked for help.
What a joke, if you go to the auditorium with them now, you might not get goosebumps from the food you eat. Aini doesn’t have a tendency to masochistically.
Wouldn’t it be nice to go back to the office and have a meal with the little witch?
As soon as the door was opened, a little kitten Tuanzi slipped over, its furry little paws alternated with each other, and skillfully climbed onto Aini's shoulder.
"Meow~"
Tomono whispered softly into Aini's ear and rubbed his face obediently.
The cute and cute look is like... uh, like a child who makes a mistake to please his parents?
Ani looked at the room, well, everything was as usual, there was no classic scene after the "Cat and Mouse War", and he would put important things in his pockets and never leave them outside casually. Could it be said that it was his spirit?
Allergies?
The door closed with a "click" sound. Aini took off the cat and held it in his arms. He rubbed Tom's soft belly and felt that his baby seemed to have lost a little weight.
Maybe they are competing for favor after adding a new member to the family.
Ani thought to himself, but he didn't know that it wouldn't be long before Tom Meow would give him a big "surprise".
Entering the restaurant, Hermione was engrossed in reading with a book in her left hand, and seemed to have forgotten the sandwich in the other hand.
"Yeah, you're back."
After seeing Aini, the girl quickly stood up, and the nonexistent sandwich slipped from her hands and was about to hang on the ground.
At this time, Jerry, who was playing from nowhere, rushed out, opened his mouth wide and took it into his stomach.
"Hiccup~"
The little mouse patted its swollen belly, burped with satisfaction, and then climbed onto Ernie's feet. Then he leaned over and lifted him up, and placed him next to Tom in his arms.
"The plan went well. Lockhart had already stolen the things and gave me 2,000 Galleons in the morning."
When Aini asked, the girl started chattering.
After entering the Defense Against the Dark Arts office yesterday, the plan went very smoothly.
Lockhart took advantage of the opportunity the girl "created" for him and successfully "cheated" the book from Jerry. In a happy mood, he simply fulfilled this year's contract in advance and handed Hermione the 2,000 Galleons hush money.
.
"Good job."
Aini praised him, but suddenly felt something strange on his arm. He lowered his head and couldn't help but laugh. He quickly touched Jerry's little head comfortingly and said with a smile: "You too, well done."
Hermione and Jerry showed happy smiles at the same time, but there was another struggle in Aini's arms.
Tom climbed onto his master's neck and formed a circle around himself.
"Meow~"
Cat is such a good boy. He can also be used as a scarf for you. Why don’t you praise me too?
"Yeah, Tom is cute too."
A professor who enjoyed the benefits of involution sincerely praised that the cat dumpling scarf is indeed soft and warm, and the experience is excellent. However, Tom smells a bit strong, so it seems he should take a bath.
Cleansing spells are not omnipotent and cannot completely replace the function of washing.
"Levi."
Ani's call ended, and a house elf appeared on the ground in front of him.
"Sincerely at your service, dear sir."
Levi first saluted the two of them, and then stood quietly waiting for instructions.
"Lunch is the same as usual, but I'll have to work harder for you in the evening."
Aini picked through his pockets and took out a few bags of ingredients and handed them to Levi, with a menu attached to them.
"Can you help me deliver it to the restaurant at eight o'clock?"
"No problem, sir, it will be delivered on time."
After another salute, Levi grabbed the ingredients and disappeared.
After Aini settled Jerry and Tom, Levi teleported back with a big tray, placed it on the table and disappeared again.
The tray with a diameter of one meter was filled with all kinds of food, and soon a pile of bones was piled up in front of Jerry.
"Meow!"
Being compared again.
Ever since Jerry joined, the two kids have always been secretly competing with each other unconsciously, especially in some strange places.
Fox is not very interested in food without magic. In his opinion, the sum of the things on the table is not as good as a piece of fresh food, so he simply takes a nap in Aini's arms.
After dinner, Aini answered a few questions, said goodbye to the little witch and returned to the Forbidden Forest.
Except for his former residence in Dorset, only this tree house can give him the feeling of home. The rest, whether it is the bedroom in Hogwarts Castle or the living area of the Breath of Nature headquarters, lacks some meaning.
After all, potential is not strength. Maybe the gap between Ani and Dumbledore in terms of total magic power is not very big, but when it comes to practical application, the two are not in the same level at all.
He had been busy for several days and the progress of the project was less than half, but in the morning Dumbledore took action and completed the remaining parts neatly in just a few hours.
In addition, the diary has been successfully "delivered" to Lockhart, and Aini can live a relaxed life again.
But Lockhart...
Time flies, the years fly by, and a week is about to pass in the blink of an eye.
Hogwarts has been peaceful for a few days, and Lockhart has become a hot topic again.
It’s not that he has done anything particularly embarrassing. On the contrary, the reputation of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor has changed drastically recently, and he has received a lot of praise.
Defense Against the Dark Arts has become the most criticized course in the past, and young wizards have no idea how such an ignorant guy managed to get into the ranks of professors.
Unexpectedly, just when the students thought they had figured out the essence of Lockhart, the idiot professor suddenly changed his style. His lectures were not only informative and practical, but also humorous and ruthless.
It caught a lot of eyeballs.
There are even some former fans who are helping him clear his name. Unfortunately, the impression formed in the first two months was too deep, but it has indeed had an effect.
Lockhart was greatly surprised by this, and he trusted little Tom in the diary even more.
