Chapter 2329 On Actors' Self-Cultivation (I Eat and Sleep Every Day Now)
When Professor McGonagall walked into the principal's office, he saw Dumbledore frowning at a letter.
"What's the matter? Professor Dumbledore? Is something wrong with Potter?"
"Ah...Professor McGonagall..."
Hearing Professor McGonagall's voice, Dumbledore raised his head and looked at her with a helpless wry smile.
"It's not Potter's side... well, I've asked Hagrid to deal with it, but we have a problem..."
"trouble?"
"Yes...Professor McGonagall, you shouldn't have forgotten what happened ten years ago..."
"certainly."
Hearing this, Professor McGonagall's expression suddenly became much more serious.
"I will never forget everything that happened at that time...could it be said that that person..."
"No, strictly speaking, it's trickier than that..."
Having said this, Dumbledore bowed his head and went silent for a moment.
"Professor Quirrell has been killed."
"what?!"
Hearing this, Professor McGonagall couldn't sit still.
"Who did it?!"
"A girl of eleven."
"……………Hey?"
Facing Dumbledore's answer, Professor McGonagall was stunned.
"Dumbledore, are you sure?"
"Of course, and this child's background is not ordinary..."
While speaking, Dumbledore handed over the letter in his hand. Professor McGonagall took the letter and read it, then frowned.
The letter contained information about a girl. Among her parents, her mother was a wizard and her father was a Muggle. However, in the tragedy ten years ago, the girl's parents were killed. Only she escaped from the neighbor's house by accident. After that, the girl was sent to the Orphanage, and then adopted by someone, and the adopter is...
"Kane James? Could it be that..."
Seeing this name, Professor McGonagall's complexion changed slightly, while Dumbledore nodded.
"That's right, it's him."
"........."
Hearing Dumbledore's answer, Professor McGonagall's expression became more serious. As a high-ranking member of the Hogwarts school, Professor McGonagall certainly knows that in this country, there are a group of people who have always hoped to completely deprive the wizarding world of its autonomy and put it under the complete control of the government. And this man named James is one of them, and now he actually adopted a son of a wizard, and even trained her as an agent...
"They have discovered Voldemort parasitic on Professor Quirrell, and I can't stop it. Now these people obviously want to use this girl to intervene in Hogwarts... Although I don't know their purpose, but I don't know Hope to cause too many troubles..."
"What a poor child..."
Looking at the contents of the letter, Professor McGonagall couldn't help but feel emotional. Although there was not much to say on the letter, even just a few sentences can be seen, the child's life experience and her growth environment, not to mention, she is a An eleven-year-old child is about to experience bloody battles on the battlefield...
"I can feel from the child's tone that she hates wizards very much, and also hates us...so, I hope I can help her."
"So what are you going to do, Professor Dumbledore?"
"I invited that kid to be the teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts class."
"……………Hey?"
Even Professor McGonagall was taken aback by Dumbledore's bold and unreasonable move.
"Isn't she only eleven years old? Defense Against the Dark Arts... Are you sure she can do it?"
"Judging from her resume, she has performed several missions, and her understanding of black magic is even stronger than that of ordinary academic mages. More importantly... I am always worried about putting her among the students. ……”
"I understand what you mean………"
Professor McGonagall also nodded. As Dumbledore said, if such a dangerous person is placed among the freshmen, what would happen? There is Harry Potter.
If this child is assigned to a Harry Potter school, there may be some disturbances...
"...That's it, what do you think of this setting?"
At the same time, in the forest hut, Ellie was happily writing while chatting with Yui.
"Dad, generally speaking, shouldn't this kind of setting be the number two female?"
"Almost, you see, her parents died when she was a child, and then she was raised in hatred, she was instilled in the education of hating wizards, and she entered Hogwarts as a spy to make troubles, all because she lost her parents , grew up in a dangerous environment, so I closed my heart... For this kind of role setting, the general routine is to gradually be attracted by the protagonist when entering the academy, and then start to change, and then have doubts about my mission, Then he either surrendered or rebelled, and was captured by the boss behind the scenes as a hostage, and then rescued by the protagonist. Then facing the protagonist, he chose to cry bitterly and change his past..."
Having said that, Ellie clapped her hands.
"Generally speaking, this is the routine, right?"
"Yeah yeah."
"That's why you can only play a supporting role. If you want to be a protagonist, you have to stick to it! Only those little girls with immature values of life will waver in this kind of question. My goal is to completely destroy the magic world! No one can come!"
That's right, this is Fangzheng...or Ellie's goal for herself, which is to unite the Muggle world to completely conquer the magic world and start a war between the magic world and Britain. Presumably Dumbledore has already seen his "setting" by now. In Dumbledore's eyes, he is probably just a lonely little girl with a painful past and a chance to turn back... Please, your set It is also effective to coax mentally handicapped children like Harry Potter.
As an actor, you must pay attention to your own self-cultivation, that is, you must enter the play. Only by becoming that person can one be perfectly integrated into it—isn’t that the essence of role-playing? Only by showing the character traits and behaviors that conform to the setting can we truly enjoy the fun.
Playing an emperor is an emperor, playing a beggar is a beggar, if you play the emperor as a beggar, and the beggar as an emperor, then you will become a traffic star.
So now is the time to show off your acting skills again.
Thinking of this, Ellie reached out to pick up the microphone on the table, and then made a call, and then her voice became cold and inorganic again.
"Report, the task is completed... Yes, I met Professor Albus Dumbledore... He invited me to be the teacher of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class... Yes, I have the confidence to complete the task...Understood."
After replying briefly, Ellie hung up the phone again, and at the same time lowered her head, silently looking at the magic book in front of her. There was no light in her ruby-like eyes, as if she had no self-awareness and closed her heart like a puppet, she just sat there quietly, motionless. And from the girl's back, one can see a bit of loneliness and indifference, that kind of tone and movement that rejects people thousands of miles away, makes people feel very sad...
So, what is Oscar-level professional acting skills! (head up)
Facts have proved that Ellie's guess is correct.
"Ding dong."
Early the next morning, the doorbell rang. Ellie put down the book in her hand, raised her head and looked at the door, then walked to the entrance and opened the door, but there was no one outside the door, only a cat sitting on the ground, staring at her curiously.
"Who are you?"
Ellie obviously didn't intend to play charades with the other party, and asked directly, and upon hearing her inquiry, the raccoon cat also jumped suddenly, and then turned into the appearance of a noble lady——it was Professor McGonagall .
"Hello, you're Miss Ellie, right? I'm Minerva McGonagall, the vice principal of Hogwarts."
Looking at the girl in front of her, Mag also showed a kind smile and greeted her. And Ellie just stared at Mag quietly, and nodded after a moment.
"Ms. McGonagall, hello, please come in."
While talking, I saw Ellie lowering her hand, and at this moment, Mag realized that in the palm of Ellie's right hand, she was holding a small pistol at some point...
This girl is really dangerous!
Although Mag was still smiling on the surface, she was in a cold sweat deep down. She didn't realize that the little girl would point a pistol at her at all just now... If she had done something at that time, then I'm afraid there are several blood holes in his body now.
Taking a deep breath, Mag followed Ellie into the house, and then Ellie asked her to sit down, and then made a pot of tea, and then McGonagall also tidied up her mood and started to talk about the topic.
"Then Miss Ellie, I think you should know why I came to you... Principal Dumbledore hopes that you can be the teacher of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. What is your opinion?"
"no problem."
Ellie's answer was very brief. It wasn't shyness, but more like she didn't care about it. Her eyes didn't have the slightest brilliance, which was completely different from the children in Hogwarts school that McGonagall usually saw.
"I think you should be very clear that the Defense Against the Dark Arts class is a very important class. We have to teach children how to protect themselves in the face of danger...so I need to conduct some tests on you..."
"no problem."
For Ellie, this is naturally not a problem. Although she has not experienced much actual combat in this world, Fangzheng's combat experience is extremely rich, and she has long seen the magical, weird and dangerous animals in this world. After that, it is natural to know how to deal with it. So soon, Ellie passed Professor McGonagall's test very smoothly.
"It seems that your strength is indeed not a problem."
Finally, Professor McGonagall had to nod, and then she took out an envelope.
"Here is your letter of appointment. You can take the train to Hogwarts with the freshmen. The ticket and other things are in it... Then, I hope you can have a pleasant day."
"thanks."
Ellie took the envelope and nodded slightly, while Professor McGonagall lowered her head and turned to leave.
"Hey……………"
Walking out of the house, Professor McGonagall couldn't help sighing. Although she had already learned about this girl's life experience, she felt even more sad after communicating with her——this girl seemed to have completely closed her heart. Rejecting all contact with the outside world made Professor McGonagall feel extremely distressed. As the vice-principal of Hogwarts, she had seen many children, but she was the first one who was so indifferent and completely unable to feel the will to live.
I don't know if she will change in Hogwarts.
Professor McGonagall didn't realize at all that everything the girl in front of him showed was just a disguise.
So... what is professionalism?
