Chapter 339: Undercurrent caused by the return

() In the last hours of the night, Maca spent the old mansion in Black.
In order to organize the information obtained and convey it to the members of the Order of the Phoenix, who were extremely worried, he took a lot of words, so much that he just took a nap in the reception room.
But even so, he had to rush to Hogwarts early in the morning, because the magic text lesson had been over for several days.
In the early morning of the next day, just as a little light shone through the sky, Maca had arrived at Hogwarts Castle.
"How are things at school?"
Sitting in Snape's office, Maca asked casually as he yawned.
"You want to ask that woman in Umbridge?" Snape slumped, and threw the book on the table. "She got a job as a" Senior Investigator "from the Ministry of Magic, all right. It was annoying just to dangle in the other professor's class! "
"What did she investigate?" Maca asked with interest.
"You see for yourself!"
Snape picked up a copy of the Daily Prophet from the newspaper rack behind him, and impatiently threw it to Maca. Maca picked it up without having to turn pages, and soon saw the Umbridge photo on the first page.
"The Ministry of Magic seeks educational reforms and appoints Dolores Umbridge as the first 'Senior Investigator'."
After rough reading the title, Maca roughly scanned the contents again. The point of finding was mainly on several problem professors at Hogwarts.
It was as if Qi Luo was possessed by "the person whose name could not be mentioned", Moody disappeared somehow, and Hagrid was actually a giant half-blood.
Incidentally, Tang's abrupt leave request from Makar, an "excellent teacher", was also taken as one of the reasons.
So Umbridge's "senior investigator" position was settled in Hogwarts.
In nominal terms, she is supervising Hogwarts teaching on behalf of parents, the school board and the Ministry of Magic, and conducting a complete and systematic survey of serving professors.
But in addition, the deep meaning of this post is obvious to the discerning person.
"You'd better pay attention, for me to see, she must be 'focused on' in your ancient rune lesson." Snape poked his lips and reminded.
When Maca heard it, she shrugged indifferently.
"Of course she would take care of me, who would let me hinder her hands and feet?" Maka said, "but before that, she prays that she can understand my lessons!"
In fact, this is indeed the case. The ancient runes course has always been a relatively unpopular elective course. Not only is the content of ancient runes complex, but most of them are very professional.
For those non-professional wizards, it would be strange if they just listened to a lesson halfway and didn't listen.
"Also." Snape nodded, sneer, "I remember, the woman did not have a good grade when she graduated, I hope she took the magic script course!"
"What do you say?" Maca said curiously.
"Half-understand is more interesting, isn't it?" Snape still sneered, his face still showing a playful expression.
...
At the same time, the Gryffindor common room.
The rising sun has jumped out of the eastern mountain, exuding a dazzling light, and shining a bright light on the entire lounge.
The slightly old sofa is bathed in the sun, exuding a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
The little wizard who got up early has already gone to the auditorium for dinner, and the one who is used to getting up at stepping point is probably still struggling in the bed at the moment, trying to free himself from the temptation of sleepiness.
There was a sound of footsteps on the staircase leading to the boys' dormitory, and there was a tapping sound. After a while, Harry and Ron arrived in the lounge one after the other.
"It's a terrible thing! It's all that old woman. Going to find other professors' stubble when everything is fine makes the professors in a bad mood ..." Ron complained, rubbing his sleepy eyes.
"Yeah! I feel like I can't finish my homework these days!" Harry sighed.
"You said, when will we be able to endure liberation?"
"Who knows? At least wait for Maca to return ... Anyway, Hermione said that."
After all, the two looked at each other, and then threw their bodies onto the sofa at the same time, making the sofa under the buttocks creak.
For the past few days, according to Hermione, everything has been low-key. No matter how mean Umbridge is, they keep their duties and suppress the anger in their hearts.
If Umbridge had gone too far from time to time, Hermione would have stood up and disgusted her with a soft knife.
In this way, Umbridge really has nowhere to breathe, but the little lions are uncomfortable. This can only be regarded as a method of combat that hurts the enemy by one thousand and damages 800 by itself.
To get used to the patience of the never-ending little lions, it is really a bit tough.
Just as Harry and Ron were paralyzed in their chairs and mourned for their lives, a man suddenly ran in outside the common room.
"Oh! What do you two sit there for? What's the good news? Maca is back!"
Here came Hermione. She stood at the door with a red glow on her face.
"Ah? What?" "You saw him?"
Harry and Ron suddenly bounced from the sofa, and asked with glowing eyes.
"Ah, no, I haven't seen him yet—" Hermione shook her head, but said with a certain expression of certainty, "But he must have been back! I just saw Filch posted a notice on the notice board, Today the ancient runic lessons are no longer self-study! "
"That's great, even though I didn't take the rune class ..." Harry said, hesitating again, "but ... does this require a notice?"
"This shows that the school attaches great importance to Maca!" Hermione took it for granted. "Notices will be posted on major events!"
"You're right, Hermione," Ron nodded. "Have you ever had breakfast? If not, let's go together, maybe Maca is there too!"
The three said a few words, and they hurried to the auditorium together. To be honest, although Maca has only been away for a few days, the tortured ones can't wait anymore.
Under the torment of Umbridge, they are all looking forward to Maca's return soon.
But as soon as she reached the hallway by the side door of the auditorium, Hermione's steps slowed. Because the first thing she saw was not Luma, who had been thinking about her, but Luna, who stood silently looking at the door of the side porch.
"what!"
Harry and Ron also saw it, especially Ron. After looking back at Hermione, he hesitated to stop moving forward.
Although he is no longer attached to Hermione now, when he saw Hermione stop, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
He Ron chose to give up, because he saw himself clearly and shattered his obsession; Hermione chose to persist, even though he knew that there was little hope, but he still encouraged himself to take a big step forward.
Ron heartily admired Hermione's courage, a courage that he would never have been able to match in his life. It was precisely because he hadn't grasped it that he became even more envious and yearning.
At the same time, she also hoped that Hermione would not be disappointed by her efforts.
As for Harry, he has always been feeling backwards in terms of feelings, and he never seemed to understand the inner struggles of these two close friends.
Taking a few steps slowly, Hermione stood in front of Luna and blinked slightly.
"Good morning, Hermione." Luna took the initiative and greeted.
Hermione froze, then nodded slightly.
"Good morning," she said, "is ... are you waiting for Maca?"
"Huh?" Luna crooked her head puzzledly. "Maca? Is he back?"
There was a resentment in Hermione's heart-she knew it for the first time, but the girl in front of her, who should have been closer to him and cared for by him, was still ignorant.
"Yeah! He's back ..." Hermione took a deep breath and nodded her head.
The words didn't fall, a sweet smile appeared on Luna's face, and even the puppets in her eyes seemed to be scattered.
"Really?" She yelled at Hermione. "Thank you."
So, is he not in the auditorium?
"You're welcome." Hermione shook her head slightly. "Since you're not waiting for Maca, what are you standing here for?"
"I don't know too well ... I just think that I should wait here this morning ... good things will happen." Luna thought for a while, "the weather is good today, isn't it?"
"Probably ..." Hermione pursed her lips. "At least it doesn't look like rain."
Having said that, he passed by Luna's side and walked step by step into the auditorium.
Ron following Hermione nodded to Luna, and then dragged Harry with a doubtful look, and followed Hermione's footsteps.
Luna looked back, looking at the three people's back, and her pale golden hair swayed gently in the breeze passing by.
"……that's nice."
She purged her blown hair and whispered to herself.
At this time, the atmosphere in the auditorium ~ EbookFREE.me ~ was somewhat polarized.
Professor McGonagall seemed to be in a good mood. While enjoying a refreshing breakfast, she chatted softly with Professor Sprout next to her.
At the other end of the long table, although Umbridge's face also had a sweet to greasy smile, how the smile looked stiff.
Hogwarts was happy overall for Maca's return, but it was simply terrible for our professor Umbridge.
Oh! Well, she should be called "Senior Umbridge Investigator" now.
At this moment, Umbridge's distress index has broken through the sky. Although she took advantage of Maca's absence, she took the time to make a name, at least in name, she was not afraid of Maca.
But even so, in today's ancient runes class, she still didn't figure out what attitude she should use to listen.
To be honest, she has been thinking about it since the day she received the post of investigator, but she was too late to fix it, which hurt her brain!
