"Students should always put study as the first priority..." Seeing Krum mentioning herself, Maka also interjected, "I just visited a few graduates before, and they were all worried about their jobs.

Oh! Just because their results in the graduation exam were not as satisfactory as expected."

He never had time to visit graduates, but this kind of realistic-looking lie could always fool people. Especially when there were several principals and professors sitting around him, this argument seemed even more real.

On the other side, Hagrid was sitting at a staff table not far from here.

Today he put on that elegant black wizard robe again and was looking up at the guest of honor seat! Just because there was no Maka to do his hair this time, now they have returned to their original appearance.

Harry saw Hagrid wave. He turned his head and saw Madame Maxime waving to Hagrid, her opal drink sparkling in the candlelight.

Everyone was chatting and eating, and soon everything was finished. At this time, Dumbledore stood up and asked his classmates to stand up too.

Then he waved his magic wand, causing all the tables to fly to the wall, leaving an open space in the middle. He then conjured up a high stage, attached to the right wall, with a drum set and several

Guitars, a lute, a cello and several organs.

At this time, the weird sisters rushed onto the stage together, and the audience burst into thunderous applause.

They all had very thick hair and wore deliberately torn black robes. They picked up their respective musical instruments, and everyone watched them with interest, almost forgetting what they were going to do next.

Suddenly, the lanterns at the other tables were extinguished, and the other warriors and their dance partners stood up.

A slow and sad tune played quietly, and Maka extended her hand to invite, but Professor McGonagall did not accept his invitation.

"McLean, since you still regard me as your professor of Transfiguration, then I should fulfill my duties as a professor -" Professor McGonagall showed a rare smile, she took out her wand and tapped it gently.

He clicked on the armchair next to him.

Suddenly, the chair seemed to come alive, twisting and turning into a person exactly like Professor McGonagall. After nodding slightly towards Maka, it stood calmly on the spot.

"This is my personal graduation test for you. If you can complete it..." Professor McGonagall looked at Maka and said, "At least I will be very happy."

Maka didn't expect Professor McGonagall to show up like this. It was obvious that she wanted Maka to use transformation to dance with her!

In terms of transfiguration alone, Professor McGonagall is undoubtedly a contemporary master.

Since she became a professor at Hogwarts, she has been a consultant for Transfiguration Today, an authoritative journal on Transfiguration, and she often corrects articles in the publication in her spare time.

For magic like transfiguration that places great emphasis on the accumulation of knowledge, Maka asked herself that it was far from being comparable to Professor McGonagall.

For example, this "other Professor McGonagall" in front of her is also a big challenge for Maka.

Generally speaking, transfiguration is actually a "default" spell, and all its practical applications should be prepared in advance.

This preparation includes a series of shape change formulas, materials transformation formulas, precise and subtle magic control data, and a large number of adjustments and tests.

Therefore, the general Transfiguration class exam is like taking a Muggle science comprehensive test paper, and it is also a thick stack and full of weight.

But the situation Maka was facing now was reversed: Professor McGonagall gave the answer, but he had to rely on this answer to deduce the problem-solving process, which was obviously more difficult.

Fortunately, when he was learning Animagus transformation, he already had a sufficient understanding of his body, and many of the data had been confirmed through repeated calculations.

In this way, at least half of the on-site calculations and adjustments can be saved.

"Professor McGonagall, you really think too highly of me..." Maka shrugged, then took out her wand and clicked on another chair.

The chair also began to twist and deform, but the change speed was obviously much slower than Professor McGonagall.

When the armchair finally deformed, the "other McLean" opened his eyes and began to move somewhat awkwardly under Maka's control.

The warriors had all forgotten about the dance, as had the other little wizards. Everyone focused their attention on the two lifelike transformation masterpieces standing between Maka and Professor McGonagall.

It is not a very unusual thing to use transfiguration to change the human form, but it is very rare to become so precise and the movements are coordinated and smooth.

It can be said that some of the knowledge of transformation contained in it is one of the key points in learning Animagus transformation.

Seeing that Maka completed this transformation so quickly, even Professor McGonagall couldn't help but nodded. This student is always like this, no matter what time, he can always surprise others.

In the end, the dance was started by the transformation technique of Professors Maka and McGonagall: it can be seen that the "self" transformed by Maka is still a bit unsmooth in handling the delicate dance steps, but "McGonagall"

"Professor" can always coordinate the past skillfully.

The two danced in the middle of the dance floor. The exquisite magic cooperation between a student and a teacher really opened the eyes of the students from the three schools.

It can be said that this is destined to be a unique and unforgettable Christmas dance.

Soon, under the leadership of Dumbledore, many people also entered the dance floor, focusing on their own dance steps.

At this moment, Dumbledore was waltzing with Madame Maxime! Compared with her, Dumbledore was a dwarf, and the top of his pointed hat could just reach her chin.

However, for such a big woman, her dance steps are quite elegant.

On the other side, Mad-Eye Moody awkwardly danced a two-step with Professor Sinistra, who nervously avoided his wooden prosthetic leg.

It was obvious that if he was hit by the piece of wood on his foot, he would definitely have to be helped to Madam Pomfrey for treatment.

The organ played its last trembling note, and the Weird Sisters stopped playing. Maka and Professor McGonagall let their respective "stand-ins" slide off the dance floor again, and then the attached magic dissipated and turned back into two armchairs.

The auditorium once again burst into warm applause, for every warrior and for the unique and wonderful performances of Maka and Professor McGonagall.

When the applause gradually subsided, the Weird Sisters began to play a new song again, with a much faster tempo than before.

"Invite the next dance partner, MacLean..." Professor McGonagall looked at Makazai carefully, as if he wanted to keep the student in front of him firmly in his heart.

She has taught too many students, but she has never met anyone like Maka who devoted all her time to learning magic.

No matter whether the future is good or bad, he deserves to be kept in everyone's heart.

But Maka had no intention of looking for the next dance partner - he originally came up with this bad idea because he couldn't think of anyone else to invite, wasn't he?

"How about it?"

At a round table on the east side of the dance floor, Harry sat down and opened a bottle of Butterbeer and asked Ron who was sitting there.

Ron didn't answer, he just glared angrily at Hermione and Krum who were dancing nearby. Next to him, Padma crossed her arms and sat with her legs crossed, one leg shaking to the beat of the music.

Every now and then, she would roll her eyes disapprovingly at Ron—who was completely ignoring her.

Parvati sat down on the other side of Harry, crossed her arms and crossed her legs. A few minutes later, a Beauxbatons boy came over and asked her to dance.

"You don't mind, Harry?" Parvati said.

"What?" Harry said vaguely. He was looking at Cho Chang and Cedric!

"Oh, it's nothing." Parvati said simply, and left with the Beauxbatons boys. After the song ended, she did not come back.

Hermione came over and sat on the chair vacated by Parvati. Her cheeks were slightly red from the dance just now.

"Hello." Harry replied, but Ron remained silent.

"It's really hot, isn't it?" Hermione fanned herself with her palms. "Victor went to get a drink."

Ron gave her a complicated look.

"Victor?" he said, "did he ask you to call him 'Wiki'?"

Hermione looked at him in surprise and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"If you don't know," Ron said harshly, "I don't want to tell you."

Hermione looked at him inexplicably and then at Harry, who shrugged.

"Ron, how did you-"

"...I just want to know, where is Maka? What are you going to do?" Ron did not stare at Hermione. He just looked at Maka in the distance bitterly and asked Hermione in a low voice.

Hermione opened her mouth in surprise.

What's going on? Ron knew what he was thinking? Is he fighting for Maka?

"Ron," Harry said quietly, "I don't think it matters that Hermione and Krum are together - and what does this have to do with Maka?"

Ron ignored Harry's stupid words. He just shook his head and said no more.

Maka is right, everyone will have a few secrets that belong only to him - some things, he may never be able to tell in his life. But he must not accept an unexpected ending, and he cannot let himself work hard

The hard-earned compromise turned into a joke.

"Why don't you go find Wicky? He'll be worried if he can't find you." Ron said.

"I don't call him that! Not once!"

Hermione, who had been silent all this time, suddenly jumped up. She crossed the dance floor with red eyes and disappeared into the crowd. Ron looked at her back, but there was endless disappointment on his face.
