Chapter 648: Welcome

In the evening, Maca was still in his office to make a final check on the preparation of the new semester. When the setting sun slowly dropped from the gap between the curtains to the right of the desk, he finally gently opened the notebook in front of him. Closed.
"... It's almost time, go to Professor McGonagall to confirm the last few links of the game, and then you can go to the back door to prepare for the new students."
After arbitrarily stretching a large waist, Maca stood up and was about to walk around the desk to the door, but accidentally glanced out of the window as if a dark shadow passed by.
"What ... carriage?"
He stopped for a moment, then pulled back the curtains a few more steps.
It turned out that he was not mistaken. From him, you can see that a black carriage dragged by two pegasus is gliding towards the castle. Just take the "pinch of soil" family crest on the carriage, and Maca will come at a glance. To identify the identity.
"It turned out that it was the genius girl of Hohenheim's," he put the curtains behind him, and turned to the corridor outside the door. "Since it's that little girl, let me go!"
Maca thought about it, and walked down the stairs to the foyer. But when he came out from the front gate of the castle to the lawn of the vestibule, he found that the carriage did not come directly inside, but fell to the ground outside the school's gate.
"Miss Hohenheim, why are you so polite? Didn't I say it last time? We usually come to Hogwarts as a guest, and we usually ask the guests to park the carriage on the lawn of the vestibule ..." He hurried to the gate, He waved his hand to remove the defensive spell, and opened the door to welcome him. "Oh, isn't this Mr. David? Last time Booth Barton said goodbye, we were gone for a while!"
That's right, sitting in the coachman's seat today to direct Pegasus to the road, it is still the Mr. Ghost who followed the fat man.
"Haha, yes--" Ghost David stood by the carriage, nodded at Maca, and smiled cheerfully, "Mr. McLean, from today on, our lady will take care of you . She can learn magic under the instruction of your renowned wizard, and that's a blessing for our Hornheim family! "
"Where to talk about care!" Maca waved. "Miss Hohenheim is clever and self-explanatory. Her alchemy knowledge is even more extraordinary. In the final analysis, this must be the blessing of me and the entire Hogwarts!"
Like this touting social rhetoric, both sides are very skilled. You lift me up, I lift you back, but this living person and ghost are not changing their hearts and not beating, their faces are thick enough to go to their hometown.
And just as the two were having a good time talking, the carriage door was gently opened from the inside, followed by a cute little girl from the inside down to the side of the road.
"Professor McLean, Sarah would like to say hello ..." She leaned slightly inwardly, and she was quite authentic. "In the past few meetings, Sarah has been rude, and I ask the professor to forgive Sarah for her fault. From today Initially, Sarah will be studying at Hogwarts, and Sarah will definitely study hard with the professor. "
As she said, this little girl today is indeed much more honest than the previous few times. For a time, Maca didn't know what ghost idea she was thinking.
"It's okay, say forgiveness or forgiveness-" Maca laughed. "Come on, come in! After a while, the other freshmen should almost arrive, and then you will prepare to join them in Hogg. Woz's sorting ceremony, and then you can have a good dinner! "
"Ah, no ... no, Mr. McLean." Ghost Davide quickly refused. "I must go back immediately. The owner will let me do something else tomorrow morning! Sorry ..."
"This ... really don't stay here for a while?"
Maca, of course, this is a fake polite, but they are ghosts, floating all day, even on the carriage, where can I "sit and sit"? What's more, even if David stays to attend the welcome dinner, he can only watch other people eat and drink, but he can't even smell the taste himself, that's how bad it is!
After seeing David flying on the carriage again and flying away, Maca took Miss Hohenheim, who is today a particularly polite, returning to the main entrance of the castle. Behind them, a beautifully decorated small suitcase floated smoothly under the control of Maca, moving a little with them forward.
Although the trunk had not been cast without a trace stretch spell, it had undergone an alchemy transformation. It was not like the one in Alexandria, and had the same volume and capacity on the outside and inside.
"Miss Hohenheim, before your classmates arrive, take a rest in the side hall next to the auditorium! Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat ..." Maca asked as she walked. "But on the train There are snacks and desserts, and it is our practice at Hogwarts to sit in the car and share with our classmates. If you have a chance in the future, I suggest you go and try it once ... here, this is the small hall here . "
"Thank you ... but no need, Professor McLean." Sarah followed him and walked into the side hall. "If you have any more business, you can leave first-Sarah can wait here for herself."
"How can this be done!" Maca took the first seat in the chair, and then said, "Oh, don't get me wrong, in fact, I didn't stay here because of you, it's the same for another freshman. You think, How can I, as a professor, leave a student who just entered school alone here? "
After that, Maca accompanied her to sit in this side hall for a little while. Although the two did not stop talking from beginning to end, what they said was pure nonsense nonsense. Whenever Maca wanted to ask her thoughts and opinions on certain things, no matter what trivial matters, she would avoid them.
But while talking, Maca gradually tasted some taste-Sarah's attitude of "near-near-near, near-far-not-far" when facing him was not as if he had faced him. Do you feel like Dumbledore?
This is a state where you clearly know the other person's strength and take care, but you want to get something from the other person. So that when dealing with the sense of distance between the two parties, there will always be a little embarrassment, because she is not sure whether such a distance is sufficient to keep those secrets.
"Oh, I think it's time for me to greet your classmates behind me." Although I actually have to wait a little longer, since Maca realized that she was deliberately maintaining a sense of distance, she naturally stopped embarrassing her. " You wait, you will see them soon ... "
After leaving the side hall, Maca could not help but chuckled.
When I saw Dumbledore early in the year, the actual situation was similar to that just now. He kept his guard in his mind, and even deliberately let his thoughts go, now he wants to come, and Dumbledore must have seen it at that time. No wonder then that Dumbledore will directly mention his magic runaway and indirectly set himself aside from unnecessary precautions.
Maca recalled those ignorances, and walked straight down the corridor to the back door, then leaned against the wall and waited for Hagrid to bring the wizards from the lake to the castle.
After a while, the sky outside was completely dark. When he heard a messy footsteps mixed with a soft buzz coming from the door, he knew that the new students of today had finally arrived.
"Uh-"
Hagrid's fist was as solid and powerful as ever, and even if the back door wasn't much thinner than the front door, he could still knock the thick door knocker.
Maca waved her hand, opened the door, and walked forward two steps, coming to the steps outside the door.
"Professor McLean, a freshman."
In order to maintain the majesty of the professor in front of the students, Hagrid called Maca once with his last name and position. Somehow, jumping out of his mouth always made Maca feel a little uncomfortable.
"Okay, Professor Hagrid." Maca nodded. "Leave it to me-everyone will follow me and follow up. Be careful not to fall behind!"
When these little guys saw Maca, most of them secretly looked left and right. In fact, with the exception of a small number of Muggle-born students approached by Maca, he had no doubts of seeing him.
No way, Maca's face is a bit too "tender". Nowadays he has a good reputation in the magic world, so there are a lot of such troubles, but these new students may not be clear.
Of course, the freshman is a freshman after all ~ EbookFREE.me ~ awe of this magnificent and mysterious Hogwarts castle. Even if they were somewhat suspicious of this surprisingly young professor, it was more honest to follow.
After Demaca led them through the long corridor and took him to the small room where Sarah was, he beckoned towards Sarah, who was approaching this way.
"She, like you, is also a freshman entering this year. Get along well in the future!" He said, "and ... yes, welcome to Hogwarts! Maybe some of you have heard about it-enjoy the delicious food in you Before you have dinner, you have to help you find the college you want to go to. This is the practice of Hogwarts and the rules of Hogwarts. "
"You will go to class, do homework, eat, sleep with classmates from the same college. If the school is a big family, then the college is every family in this family. Hogwarts has four colleges. They are ... "
Maca stood calmly in front of the hall, telling the story about the branch, and sent a few cautions to these little wizards.
In the crowd, Alexander and Ens, the two children who had the most contact with Maca, also looked up. Although they looked at Maca with different eyes, they all had a similar vision and longing.
