Chapter 604: The Silencer Spell Next Door

"Miss Granger, Miss Lovegood...... Listening to your Professor McLean, you seem to have some ideas about your career path after graduation? ”

As for the topic of the Werther family, Maca and Professor McGonagall did not discuss it too much for the time being.

The talk is definitely going to be discussed, since Maca has won the right to host the alchemy event for Hogwarts, they can't get around the chaos that will occur in the competition. But even if we had to discuss it, we would have to find another time to discuss it privately, because it was impossible to talk about it openly in front of the students.

"Oh...... Uh, yes, Professor McGonagall. Hermione nodded slightly, the shyness of being teased by Charlotte was still somewhat there, and she looked a little reserved now.

But compared to Hermione, the pure-minded Luna is much more open.

"Professor, Hermione and I want to work in the Department of Magical Creatures Management and Control of the Ministry of Magic after graduation." She didn't say a word of nonsense, and simply locked the topic directly to the point.

"Oh! Is that so? ”

Professor McGonagall seemed pleased, after all, it was good that the students wanted to be motivated. Hogwarts is now preparing to officially establish itself in the global wizarding world, and this big step forward will require not only the efforts of the faculty and staff, but also the efforts of a large number of students.

As a magic school, cultivating talents is fundamental, and this will certainly not change.

"Yes, that's right." Luna gesturously pointed at Hermione and then at herself, adding, "...... Hermione wanted to go to the anthropomorphic family, I wanted to go to the zoologist. ”

"Have you even planned for a specific department?" Professor McGonagall nodded in satisfaction, "If you may, let me know first—what is the reason why one of you chose the Anthropomorphidae and the other the Zodiae?" ”

"Because I'm going to find Fantastic Beasts, and Hermione is going to save Fantastic Beasts!"

Professor McGonagall looked somewhat puzzled by Luna's answer. Seeing this, Hermione, who was standing next to her, had to purse her lips helplessly.

"Professor McGonagall, that's the ......," she had to put aside some of her thoughts and take the initiative to explain to McGonagall, "I want to do something for those humanoid magical creatures, so that wizards throughout the wizarding world, and even those creatures themselves, understand the value of their existence. Well, for example, house-elves! ”

"That's a good idea," Professor McGonagall encouraged, before admonishing, "but I have to warn you that it can be very difficult to change those old worldly ideas. I think it's very likely that it will cost you a lifetime, do you have this realization? Miss Granger? ”

"Yes, of course!" Hermione nodded firmly, "And, if this is successful, I believe that the unrest in the wizarding world will be reduced...... It's a job that benefits the whole world. ”

As she said this, she also subconsciously glanced at Maca's side, and there seemed to be some other thoughts hidden in her heart that were difficult to explain.

"Since you have this awareness, it couldn't be better!" Professor McGonagall had a smile on her face, which was no doubt her praise for Hermione's thoughts, "So that's 'salvation,' so ...... And what is Miss Lovegood's 'search'? ”

"Professor, you'd better not think too deeply about Luna's words—" Maca said with a smile, spreading her hands, "she just likes magical creatures whose whereabouts are so mysterious that most people can't even be sure whether they exist or not, and she just wants to see them with her own eyes...... Luna, am I right? ”

"Hmm, yes!" Luna nodded happily, "Actually, there are a lot of creatures right under our noses, but many people can't see them!" For example...... Harassment? ”

"Well, of course!" "We're all looking forward to the day when you'll tell us what they look like and what they do, and maybe in the future, some newly discovered magical creatures will be named after you!" ”

"That's not bad!" Luna noticeably became more excited when she heard this.

In the words of each of them, it seemed that the future of Luna and Hermione had officially begun to be built at this moment. Sooner or later, perhaps, their wishes will all be able to come true one by one, adding their own share to the entire history of magic.

After that, Maca also introduced Professor McGonagall to the "." that Hermione had figured out, and together with the elves who are currently living in Hogwarts Castle, she proposed several operational plans for the spiritual liberation of house-elves.

Finally, when Luna's stomach suddenly growls twice, they realize that they haven't eaten lunch yet! In order not to go hungry during the afternoon lessons, they had to leave the principal's office and go to the auditorium to fill their stomachs.

Before heading out, Hermione hesitated again, as if she wanted to say something to Maca. But she thought about it for a moment, and finally she didn't say anything.

"McLean, what do you think she's trying to say to you?" Charlotte smiled a little strangely as she looked at the door of the principal's office, which was closed again.

Maca, on the other hand, just spread her hands and didn't take the conversation.

"Senior sister, have you had lunch?" He turned to Charlotte, "If you've already eaten, I wonder if I'll be lucky enough to invite you out for a walk or something?" ”

"Walking?" Charlotte raised her eyebrows and said casually, "Okay?" Where do you want to take me? ”

"Go to a Muggle family and visit a little girl." As he spoke, he saw a teasing expression on Charlotte's face again, and immediately said helplessly, "Okay, to be precise, it's a little girl who has just been born for a short time." And, visiting her is just a stop-by, and I'm mainly going to talk to you about — well, about something that has to do with your family lately. ”

"I ...... Home? ”

When Charlotte heard this, her face suddenly changed, and her expression, which gradually became serious, was faintly mixed with some complexity and subtlety.

……

The Fisher family is still the same as before, a young couple who cycle through their peaceful life day after day. Under the influence of Maca's spell, they have long regarded Delphi as their own daughter, carefully accompanying her to grow up.

Speaking of which, the fate of little Delphi is actually very similar to that of the cuckoo in the Muggle world. Since she was a child, she was destined to grow up in a family that did not belong to her, and she may never know who her biological parents really are for the rest of her life.

It is said that the reason why female cuckoos lay eggs in the nests of other birds is to prevent the ferocious males from eating the eggs. Although little Delphi's situation does not seem to be so, if you want to get to the bottom of it, it is actually not much different from a cuckoo.

"This is it."

At this moment, Maca and Charlotte were standing in front of the gate of Fisher's house. He casually explained to Charlotte that he had a Muggle relative here, and reached out and rang the doorbell.

After a while, little Delphi's titular mother, Sarah, came out and opened the door.

"Oh! Mclean? As soon as she saw Maka, she said happily, "Why are you here?" It's coming to see our little Delphi - quick, come in! Yes...... Who is this? ”

"Just call me Charlotte, I'm McLean's classmate, older than him."

Charlotte had never liked to mention her last name very much, and now she was even more reluctant to mention it in front of people.

"Oh, Charlotte, is she?" Sarah laughed, "You're so pretty—please come in!" ”

At the hostess's warm invitation, Maca and Charlotte soon followed her into the living room. Her man is often away from home because of his work, and it is obvious that he is still floating on the sea at this time!

As soon as Maca entered the living room, she saw the crib on the side of the sofa. Little Delphi was lying there, tilting his head and looking curiously.

"Delphi, how are you doing?"

Maca leaned over to the crib and shook her finger in front of her, teasing her with a smile on her face. Charlotte looked at Maca's teasing appearance, but she had an inexplicable feeling of wanting to laugh.

He seemed too skilled in teasing the child, which really didn't match the big boy's appearance.

"Is her name Delphi?" Charlotte also came up, and in Sarah's smiling eyes, she said with interest, "Hey, she looks so cute, she will probably be a beauty when she grows up!" ”

Judging by the appearance of Voldemort and Bellatrix, the appearance of this little Delphi is indeed worth looking forward to. Her biological parents are actually wizards with outstanding appearances, excluding the personality and age of those two, the rest is probably "handsome" and "beautiful".

Maca thought for a moment, then glanced back at Sarah, as if to confirm something.

"Fortunately, this Sarah's appearance is okay," he secretly commented, and then secretly pulled the corners of his mouth, "Otherwise, a couple with ordinary looks gave birth to a big beauty, which is suspicious enough." ”

But at this moment, Maca was suddenly stunned. After glancing at Charlotte beside her, they both looked in the same direction.

"Next door?" Charlotte asked, surprised.

"Well, it should be next door." Maca nodded, "You wait here, I'll go over and take a look." ”

At that moment, the sound in the direction next door was suddenly cut off. It was only for a moment, but they noticed it—it was a sign that looked like someone had used a brief silencer spell next door!
