Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

At this moment, Maca was staring at a delicate envelope that had already been opened. He felt that the most recent letters seemed to be more gorgeous than the last, and the contents of them were probably correspondingly less simple.

This letter was just handed to him by Professor McGonagall.

Since he and Professor McGonagall mentioned the matter of little Delphine before, Maca could clearly feel the shock in the other party's heart. But besides that, Professor McGonagall agreed more with his handling. Obviously, giving a baby who doesn't understand anything a better life is what every Hogwarts should do. chosen behavior.

But immediately afterwards, Professor McGonagall did not continue to ask Scrimgeour whether he planned to promote a Hogwarts-led event, but first put an envelope with a ribbon and Pegasus pattern in Maca in front of.

On the seal of the letter, the bright red wax seal was quite conspicuous, and he knew with just a glance that the letter came from the Beauxbaton School of Magic in France.

Can I open it?

Although Professor McGonagall had already handed it to him, it was natural for him to take a look. But the envelope clearly said To Ms. Minerva McGonagall and it was a personal letter. He should confirm it out of politeness.

Of course, you were actually mentioned in the letter—Mrs. Maxim thought that maybe it would be better for you to read it, after all, you were also one of the original parties. Professor McGonagall motioned him to open it and read it.

Participant? Me? Maca thought for a moment in doubt, but didn't recall anything related to Beauxbaton and Mrs. Maxim. That's impolite...

As he spoke, he gently picked up the envelope that had already been torn open, and pulled out a piece of letter paper from it. The letter paper was neatly folded, and the material of the paper was quite flexible, as if every inconspicuous corner showed Beauxbaton's wealth and taste.

And when he unfolded the letter paper and took a look, the few key words on the letter paper immediately brought back some of his memories that had faded over time. He remembered that he had really tried to get involved in a big nosy matter that was small but could also become very big.

Nick Flamel's legacy? Maca suddenly said, Oh, I almost forgot about it!

Yes, when he went to Paris with the Lovegood father and daughter, he did meet the old butler of Nick Flamel in Beauxbatons, and happened to participate in the conversation between the other party and Madame Maxime. middle.

It's just that he was far less famous than he is now, so he only acted as a neutral witness throughout the conversation.

But in the letter in front of her, Mrs. Maxim made it clear that she might be invited to join in as one of the main candidates to investigate Nick Flamel's alchemy laboratory.

From this point, it can be seen that the current Maca is quite convincing, at least in terms of magical strength. It can even be said that in Madam Maxim's heart, she may think that in this incident, he is enough to replace the things that Dumbledore should have done.

Let me tell you first, I don't actually have much research on alchemy. Maca put down the letter paper, picked up the teacup at hand and took a small sip.

In the modern magic world, alchemy is no longer the mainstream magic discipline. Although it is actually quite simple to get started with this subject, if you want to study it in depth, there is a very fundamental obstacle - the loss of inheritance.

It would be hard to find another qualified alchemist other than Nick Flamel, a great alchemist who stands out in particular.

And for some reason, that great alchemist rarely had academic exchanges with others, and he didn't even confiscate even a single student. Only Dumbledore, a good friend, had discussed some magical knowledge with him.

Up to now, Nick Flamel, who lived to be 665 years old, has also passed away. The relatively complete alchemy inheritance in the entire magic world,

Probably only his alchemy laboratory still exists.

Oh, just like the Werther family, maybe there are some ancient alchemy families who are also hidden from the world playing mystery? Who knows?

There are not many people who know about alchemy... What do you think about this matter? Professor McGonagall shook his head slightly and asked Maca, who was one of the parties involved, for his opinion.

Mr. Nick LeMay wanted to share his life's research results with the global magical community. Since Mrs. Maxime, who has a good relationship with Mr. LeMay, wants to avoid suspicion, we can only let you and us Hogwarts host it. This matter. Maca analyzed for a moment, but then spread his hands, For our Hogwarts, this matter is almost the same as Mr. Scrimgeour's proposal to hold an event.

Yes. Professor McGonagall put down his teacup, and said with some embarrassment, Also, I'm afraid we can only choose one of them, can't we? If we take these two things into our arms, it will be bad for the influence.

It seems that sometimes too many good things can become a difficult decision.

In terms of the result, it must be that Nick LeMay's legacy is much more important, Maca also felt, and it was really difficult to choose, but correspondingly, higher returns usually come with higher risks. If the inheritance is not handled properly...

Not only that... Maca, where is Mr. Scrimgeour? Professor McGonagall gave him a questioning look, as if he was worried that it would be difficult for him to refuse.

No, you don't have to worry about that, Maca said. That minister is very shrewd! He will definitely support anything that is beneficial to him—multi-school joint activities and the legacy of Nick Flamel. Whatever it is, I think he will be eager to make it happen.

Hearing what Maca said, Professor McGonagall couldn't help nodding, obviously agreeing with his opinion. But in this case, the problem seems to return to the dilemma again.

Maca constantly weighs these two things. One has advantages and disadvantages and has a great impact, and the other has only benefits but only moderate impact. Whether to move forward or seek stability, such options will always make people hesitate.

In other words, who would be happy to spit out the fat that almost reaches the mouth?

After a while, when Maca found that he had drunk all the black tea in the cup, he finally put the cup on the coaster and made a decision.

Professor McGonagall, I think... Maybe we can combine these two things? He considered carefully, Originally Mr. Scrimgeour proposed to reopen the Potions Tournament, but I thought about it just now, we Why not host an alchemy-based event instead?

Although a large number of inheritances have been lost, that only means that it is very difficult for a master alchemist like Mr. Nick Flamel to come out. If we only talk about the relatively common knowledge of alchemy, there are still many fragments left in this world, such as the tools in the hands of the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, most of which are small but practical products of alchemy.

Even if it's not a mainstream discipline anymore, there are some things that even Fred and George could incorporate into some of their mischievous inventions because of their small fraction of everyday utility.

A competition in alchemy? Professor McGonagall thought about it for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible, This will also help to revive everyone's interest in alchemy, and maybe it will attract some people that you don't like. An alchemist who knows... Well, it is indeed an idea worth trying!

She already understood what Maca meant.

Perhaps at that time, at the moment when the champion is determined in the competition, they will also usher in the best time to disclose the legacy of Nick Lemay's alchemy.

However, if this is the case, it would be a bit awkward for students from magic schools to participate in this competition... Professor McGonagall suddenly said, You understand, after all, the current alchemy is not in the teaching category of most schools within.

I think... Maca said thoughtfully, Maybe we should discuss this topic with Mr. Minister! Anyway, it's about the disclosure of Nick Flamel's legacy, and the international wizard cannot be avoided anyway. Federation, isn't it?

Nick Flamel's original intention was to use his own research results to improve the level of alchemy in the entire magic world. Such a great thing, the International Federation of Wizards will definitely pay considerable attention. And what they have to do now is to gain a firm foothold in such major events and win more benefits for Hogwarts.

Maca's suggestion is quite bold. If it succeeds, even if Hogwarts is only one of the leaders, it will take this opportunity to go further and stand higher. But in the end, the center of the incident must be the International Federation of Wizards, so if there is any mistake that leads to failure, it will also be the International Federation of Wizards who will bear the main responsibility.

As long as you are careful when negotiating, and don't let others throw all the burden on your head, the originally quite high risk will be greatly reduced.

You can give it a try, Professor McGonagall finally nodded after thinking for a long time, But the matter is not urgent, we can invite Mr. Scrimgeour to chat with him another day.

Well, Maca also nodded, I believe he will be very interested.

Running Hogwarts is by no means an easy task, and things that have such a huge impact need to be handled with caution. But now that Professor McGonagall is the headmaster of Hogwarts, she will consider the future of Hogwarts. If the school that once took care of her can be further developed, Dumbledore did not believe in Yu in vain. she is gone.

After making this decision, both Professor McGonagall and Maca couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The two picked up their teacups again and wanted to take a sip to moisten their throats, but found that their respective cups were already empty.
