"...Yes, Professor McGonagall, I personally think Miss Blois's proposal can indeed be tried. That's why I came here specifically to meet you - you understand, the rune of the Makana kid

The equipment is worthy of my personal trip. I just don’t know... what do you think?"

Sirius made a special trip to Italy, and naturally received a special treat from Professor McGonagall. Apart from a few words with Snape on the roadside at the beginning, he soon went upstairs to have a good time at the invitation of Minerva.

I sat down and drank a cup of hot coffee full of Italian flavor.

However, compared to the steaming hot drinks and sweet and delicious pastries, the topics they talked about were far less relaxed and leisurely.

"Sirius... although I really want to go, you also know that I have to take good care of those children here - whether it is as a principal for Hogwarts or as a

It’s really hard for me to walk away as an ordinary professor for the sake of the parents who entrust their children to us.”

Listening to Minerva's sincere but apologetic answer, Sirius could only nod slightly.

As the other party said, Sirius was indeed very aware of the other party's difficulties. Especially he also knew that although all the teachers and students in the school escaped because of Maka's early warning of the disaster, when the disaster struck later

They also sent as many British wizarding families as possible, including parents of students, and even Muggles to France for resettlement by the Blois family, and many people survived to this day.

However, after that, the parents of those students also signed a letter through the Blois family to Professor McGonagall, who was on a study tour and taking refuge at sea at that time. While trying their best to express their gratitude, they also made an extremely sincere request to all the Hoggs headed by Professor McGonagall.

Professors Watts hope that their children can be sheltered.

For Minerva McGonagall and others as professors, this may have been a natural responsibility! However, they received a plea signed by both wizards and Muggle parents.

When I read the letter, the sense of responsibility I felt suddenly became heavier.

Therefore, when everything was not yet clear and most of the students were still anxious, how could Minerva agree to the proposal brought by Sirius?

"Then... let me ask Flitwick again! He was also a duel champion back then, and he has been studying Charms over the years. Maybe he can give it a try-"

Just as Sirius was saying this, he suddenly saw Snape, who had been sitting aside and had not spoken since he came over, casually took out his pocket watch and looked at it, then stood up on his own, as if planning to

leave.

He didn't care. After all, in his opinion, it didn't matter whether Snape was there or not. It would even be better to go away as soon as possible. But when Minerva saw it, she couldn't help but said casually:

"Severus, where are you going? Classes at Pomona won't be over for a while, right?"

Yes, even in Italy, the teaching of young wizards is still carried out every day... Well, actually, it is better to say that now that we are facing this increasingly serious disaster, the task of teaching has become even more important.

"I just heard you mention Duel Champion, and I suddenly remembered that I need to check the status of the Duel Doll - I still need it for the next class."

Snape explained casually, without stopping, and quickly walked out of the door.

Seeing his gloomy face and hurried steps, Sirius subconsciously curled his lips and said casually:

"After so many years, this kid hasn't changed much. He still has that stinky face that looks like everyone owes him a lot of Galleons..."

"Stop saying a few words," Minerva on the other side said reproachfully, "Severus has helped us a lot these days! Especially after taking over the responsibility of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts,

He taught the children a lot of practical knowledge, and he spent a lot of time on it... He is just not very good at interacting with others!"

Seeing Minerva speaking up for Snape, Sirius wanted to retort and make some sarcastic remarks about Snape, but in the end he just shrugged.

Then, the two of them quickly brought the topic back to the original incident.

…

In about half an hour after Snape left, Professor McGonagall and Sirius talked a lot. From the beginning about Maka's rune equipment, it continued to the front line...that is, the British disaster area

The current general situation.

Even though the dangers on the front line make it almost impossible to convey the information from Hermione and others immediately, so that Sirius can only tell the part of the information he knows, but that alone is enough.

Professor McGonagall frowned upon hearing this.

At the same time, the two of them were of course completely unaware that something else seemed to have happened outside in the past half hour.

Until, a sharp knock on the door interrupted their conversation that was about to end.

"Boom-boom--"

Hearing the sound from the other side of the door, Professor McGonagall paused for a moment and then stood up.

"You sit down first, and I'll go see what trouble those children are causing."

Minerva has long been accustomed to the various tossings that little wizards have to deal with over the years, especially since she has been the Head of Gryffindor House for so long.

However, during this disaster, she could also feel that the children were gradually becoming more sensible - hadn't she seen that only Lavender and Romilda were there when Ms. Rich came? What if?

In the past, the number of students who came to join in the fun would have been five times greater!

"What's wrong?"

Minerva, who had long heard the commotion in the corridor outside the door, was naturally not too surprised to see these little guys in front of her as soon as she opened the door, so she asked seriously with a straight face as usual.

"Professor McGonagall! Colin... Go and see Colin! He suddenly fainted just now and looked very bad. Jimmy has already carried him to find Madam Pomfrey... Neither do we.

Know what’s going on!”

"What!"

Hearing what the student in front of her said, Minerva's expression suddenly changed, she turned her head suddenly and said to Sirius, who was already following behind her:

"I have to go see, you-"

"Stop talking, I'll go too."

Sirius waved his hand, and then ignored the little wizards who looked at him in surprise, and hurried away with Minerva following the student who came to report the news.

"Isn't even Italy... safe anymore?" he secretly worried in his heart.
