Professor McGonagall asked for leave, and it was naturally impossible for Dumbledore to refuse.
After getting the principal's consent, McGonagall signaled Ani to leave quickly, and then began to explain to Dumbledore the learning progress of the fifth, sixth and seventh years.
Humph, she wanted to change to a quiet place to study for a while. After all, as long as she was still at Hogwarts, trouble would always come to her door.
But McGonagall didn't want to trick her apprentice. You must know that Dumbledore has never removed his title of Professor of Transfiguration, so it is natural for him to help teach.
The vice-principal is under the control of the principal, and the direct management of the transfiguration professor is in the hands of the transfiguration director.
Dumbledore knew that Ani was taking the time to enrich his mind, so he happily took up McGonagall's work.
As for the matter of the remnant souls of ancient Egypt, it has been delayed for more than a year anyway, so let friends study it first.
However, Aini's trip to Turkey will be postponed. He originally wanted to take leave before leaving, but Professor McGonagall beat him to it.
But history is buried there, and it won’t run away on its own. It doesn’t matter if we go back later.
In contrast, Minerva's promotion to the Grand Wizard is a great and urgent matter.
Mag was going back to pack her luggage, so Ani left the principal's office with her.
"Take care, Aini, I won't say goodbye to you when I leave soon."
The two walked to the stairs, and the witch gave the disciple a big hug.
"You will succeed, Minerva. Do you have an idea of where to go?"
Aini hugged the teacher and felt warm in her heart. Since seven years ago, the witch traveled between two places and tried her best to teach him, working tirelessly, without any need for utilitarianism, and without asking for anything in return.
He couldn't forget the seriousness on McGonagall's face when he was teaching him; he couldn't forget the worry and anxiety on the witch's face when she found out that she couldn't use the spell normally; he couldn't forget the joy and relief on the teacher's face when he noticed that his talent had improved; he couldn't forget the joy and relief on the teacher's face when he noticed that his talent had improved;
Not to mention the pride and joy on her face when she learned that she had become a great wizard.
However, Aini still caught the trace of disappointment in Minerva's eyes.
Well now, Professor McGonagall is about to cross the threshold of the Great Wizard.
"I want to go back to the suburbs of Caithness and live for a while, and then maybe go somewhere else."
The witch's eyes wandered as she answered. Caithness was the most profound place in her memory, bar none.
She was born there, grew up there, had two younger brothers there, and it was also there that she witnessed the love and suffering between wizards and Muggles.
Her mother is an excellent wizard, but her father is a Muggle priest.
From a young age, Greg has shown extraordinary magical talent. She can feel the pain in her parents' hearts. There is no dissatisfaction with each other, but only helplessness with life.
Love allows them to tolerate each other, but they still cannot ignore the worldly perspective.
Love makes them stronger, but it cannot heal their inner fatigue.
Childhood experiences had a huge impact on Mag. She believed in the love of her parents and could feel the tenderness when the two cuddled up to each other. However, along with this, there was also long-lasting pain and worry.
So in the summer of her graduation, when McGonagall was still a girl, she made the same mistake as her mother and fell in love with a Muggle youth. Her childhood experiences made her make the completely opposite choice to her mother.
The day after she impulsively agreed to the marriage proposal, McGonagall told the boy that she regretted it, and then left her hometown to work in the Ministry of Magic.
The journey after that was not smooth sailing, and she also wavered as to what would have happened to her now if she had not left at the beginning.
To be honest, even McGonagall herself is not sure whether she really wants to return to that place. She just hasn't left Hogwarts for many years and has no other place to go for a while.
"There seems to be only a small magic node near Caithness, which is not very suitable for further study. Why not go to Lake Lucerne in Switzerland, where Breath of Nature has a large magic node, and the environment is pleasant and clean."
Although Mag rarely talks about the past, Aini knows a lot. It would be bad if the teacher returns to his hometown and affects his mood. After all, the first love is always the most unforgettable and regrettable.
"This is the key to Lake Lucerne. Professor Kettleburn is responsible for a project there after his retirement. He will be very happy to see you."
Without waiting for the teacher's consent, Aini took out a pebble from his pocket and put it into the witch's hand.
"Thank you, I will go."
Mag guessed from the other party's attitude what he knew. The care from the disciple made the witch quietly blush.
After staring at Aini for a few seconds, Mag stretched out his hand to rub the top of his head after a long absence.
"Goodbye, Ani."
After hugging her favorite child again, Mag turned and walked down the stairs.
"All the best, Minerva."
Amidst Aini's blessings, Mag walked around the corner of the stairs, waved to him and then disappeared from the disciple's sight.
After a few seconds, Aini looked away, took out a notebook from his pocket, turned to the page marked Cappe and started writing.
This is Breath of Nature’s flagship new product in the coming period, called Feather Book, which can transmit messages instantly.
In fact, Aini had a similar method before, but it was very expensive and difficult to popularize.
It wasn't until Flamel gave him the Blue Tower that Aini obtained a lot of alchemical formulas, which allowed him to replace several rare materials and greatly reduce the cost. Only then did he have the basis for mass production.
After explaining Mag's matter to Cappe, Ani quickly cut off the communication before the other party could complain and wanted to return to the office on the second floor.
But before he could move, two big boys who had bumped into each other ran down the stairs laughing.
"Hi, Aini, do you have time? We have a new product."
"The effect is great and it will definitely sell well."
Just by listening to the way he talks, you can tell who is coming without even looking at his face.
"Let's go to my office."
Ani was immediately interested. The two brothers inherited their father's alchemy talent and could always tinker with small objects that were outstanding in some aspects.
Of course, most of them are not serious.
"You're back...Ah, Fred, George, good morning."
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the girl looked up from the pile of books and found that there were two redheads following Aini.
"Are you going to Hogsmeade again? Be careful lately, someone has already reported it to the professor."
After greeting each other, Hermione looked at their bulging robes and reminded them.
With Aini's guidance in the past two years, she is no longer the girl who only knows how to accept death.
"No wonder Snape didn't look right at us today. It must have been Flint. He wanted to pay us on credit yesterday."
"But how can we, the smart ones, trust a troll with no credibility!"
The brain tube turned around, and the twins directly targeted the informer.
There may be some minor frictions between various colleges, but the ivory tower is always purer. They are jealous of many people buying and selling, but it would be too embarrassing to report them.
Because of Quidditch, the two of them have long had a grudge against Flint, and he is not a broad-minded person. Coupled with yesterday's rejection, it was enough to make the Slytherin troll do stupid things.
A veritable fool's errand.
Now no one can go to Hogsmeade to buy things. Even his Slytherin classmates are counting on the twins to bring something. If Flint's whistleblower really cuts off the purchase channel, I'm afraid he will be unable to eat inside the Snake Yard.
Walk around.
After all, the two of them are the only trading experts in Hogwarts.
