Chapter 1493 Let's Go!

"Professor Dumbledore...it really hasn't changed at all!"

It seemed nearly forty years had passed since the last time Dumbledore was called that, but Minerva's "Professor Dumbledore" was surprisingly smooth.

And maybe it's because I was too immersed in my own memories and feelings.

Minerva, who was usually quite serious and even made the students feel a little scared, caressed the desk she had sat on and involuntarily showed an innocent smile that only she had when she was a student.

At about this moment, she seemed to have returned to the time when she was still in Hogwarts - when she was just entering the first grade, she was in this classroom, listening to the scene with excitement and excitement. Dumbledore, who is also a professor of transfiguration, gave a wonderful lecture.

It's just that when Minerva in the classroom subconsciously turned her head and looked towards the podium, the single-person podium stood alone in a corner, as if she was silently telling her that her "benefactor" had passed away. lonely reality.

Ultimately, though, the small classroom has long since fallen out of use due to the growth in student enrollment in recent decades.

After all, Minerva was enrolled in 1946, a year before Grinwald's wizarding revolution was ended by Dumbledore.

At that time, the number of students enrolled in magic schools in Europe was very small, second only to the darkest period in the magic world before the establishment of the "Secrecy Act". Many small and medium-sized wizarding schools were even forced to merge or even be abandoned because they could not recruit new students. .

Even because of some relationship between Dumbledore and Greenwald, the British magic world was far less affected than other countries and regions, and the number of new students had dropped repeatedly.

However, perhaps it was also because of the small number of classmates in the same grade during my school days that even though Minerva's grades were very good, she never felt proud, instead she just focused on working hard.

Only then did she develop her character of being strict with herself and treating others with humility.

By the way, despite the fact that Minerva always has a serious face in front of the students and rarely even smiles, the usual lecture time often makes the students a little scared.

But in fact, when she was a student and when she first entered the Ministry of Magic, she was an introverted girl who was not good at expressing her emotions.

It may also be because... Hogwarts and Dumbledore helped her grow up step by step back then, so she became more and more grateful to Dumbledore and this school.

now,

Dumbledore was no longer around, so Minerva naturally poured her gratitude to Dumbledore into Hogwarts, which Dumbledore cherished—the two superimposed, this intention to repay her kindness It was so heavy that she was willing to devote her whole life to it.

"Professor Dumbledore," Minerva looked at the empty podium suddenly and whispered softly, "please rest assured that the students are now in the safest place arranged by Maca—you also said that the child is you The most outstanding student we have ever encountered in this life, we can accept his ideas with confidence."

"However, although it is said that 'Hogwarts is where there are students'... Well, this is what that child Maca said, and I have to admit that this is indeed the truth. But for me personally, this The castle is also a very, very important place!"

Speaking to herself, Minerva couldn't help but paused for a while, and then sighed slightly:

"Now...Professor Dumbledore! I'm back, alone... Maybe you will say that I am too brainy, or maybe you will teach me to pay more attention to the students like I did back then. But since you let me When you try to forget Dougal, you should understand that I have always been that kind of dead-headed person."

"As long as I'm alive, there's no way I'm going to see this place being destroyed - no way!"

After the last sentence was finished, Minerva smiled wryly and shook her head, as if laughing at herself for speaking into the air to seek peace of mind.

After a moment of silence, she turned around gently and walked outside the classroom, and her face at this time finally returned to its usual seriousness and calmness.

Just looking at the firmness in her eyes, it shows that she is indeed as she said just now, she has no hesitation in her choice and decision.

However, at this moment, Minerva, who had just walked out of the classroom and came to the corridor outside, inadvertently caught a glimpse of a black shadow on the edge of the Forbidden Forest from the window opening on the side of the corridor.

"……That is?"

Minerva felt that she could not be mistaken. The corner of her eye just now did catch that fleeting figure. And this, Dang even made her heart tremble.

Although it was still the darkest hour before dawn on the Reformation side, it was already daytime on the Hogwarts side. At this moment, the blue sky, white clouds and sunshine are everywhere outside, no matter how you think about it, it is impossible to make it look bad.

Thinking of this, Minerva immediately ran downstairs.

...

"Mr. Lupine! Shaker Room...Minister, the latest news has arrived!"

Although Maca was not in Spiral Town, Lupine still faithfully carried out his new plan step by step.

At this moment, seeing an Auror guard patrolling the surrounding area leading another panting colleague from the intersection, he immediately waved towards him.

Right now, all combat forces except the basic defensive force of Spiral Town have been concentrated in the open space and streets outside the abandoned church. Lupine and Kingsley, who was about to lead these battle forces, stood at the front, waiting for the opportunity silently together with everyone.

Not long after, the member of the patrol team who had rushed back from near London finally staggered to Lupine's side, panting and reporting verbally:

"The group of living corpses... have all left the foggy area of ​​London... No trace of Hai Erbo was found."

"Ok."

Lupine nodded upon hearing this, and then said while secretly deliberating:

"Thank you for your hard work... Are you injured? Hurry up and get treatment inside... Kevin, you send him to St. Mungo's building immediately!"

Even though he was thinking about other things in his heart, he still noticed the other party's injury.

After all, there is no anti-apparition spell here. If there is no injury, it is impossible for the patrol member who is an elite Auror to have such a big deviation when he manifests.

After asking his assistant to take him away, he pursed his lips slightly, then gritted his teeth secretly and nodded heavily at Kingsley who had been waiting for a long time.

"Attention everyone, let's go!"
