"Miss Granger, Miss Lovegood... I heard from you, Professor MacLean, that you seem to have some ideas of your own regarding the career direction after graduation?"

Regarding the topic of the Wirth family, Maca and Professor McGonagall did not have much discussion for the time being.

Talk is definitely necessary. Since Maca has won the right to host the alchemy competition for Hogwarts, they cannot get around the chaos that will arise in the competition. But even if they want to discuss this matter, it will not be possible.

We have to find another time to discuss it privately. After all, this kind of thing cannot be discussed openly in front of the students.

"Oh... er, yes, Professor McGonagall." Hermione nodded slightly. The shyness she felt from Charlotte's teasing before was still somewhat residual, so she looked quite reserved now.

But compared to Hermione, Luna, who has a pure mind, is much more open-minded.

"Professor, Hermione and I want to work in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures of the Ministry of Magic after graduation." She didn't say a word of nonsense, and directly focused the topic on the key points.

"Oh! Is that so?"

Professor McGonagall seemed very happy. After all, it was great if the students were willing to make progress. Currently, Hogwarts is preparing to officially establish its foothold in the global wizarding world. In this big step forward, it not only requires teaching

The efforts of the staff require the struggle of a large number of students.

As a magic school, cultivating talents is the fundamental thing, and this will definitely not change.

"Yes, that's right." Luna pointed at Hermione enthusiastically, then at herself, and added, "...Hermione wants to go to the Humanoid Department, and I want to go to the Animal Department."

"Have you even planned the specific departments?" Professor McGonagall nodded happily, "Then if possible, you might as well tell me first - why did one of you choose the humanoid department and the other chose the animal department?"

"Because I'm going to find magical animals, and Hermione is going to save magical animals!"

Professor McGonagall showed a somewhat puzzling expression regarding Luna's inconsistent answer. Hermione, who was standing next to her, saw this and had no choice but to purse her lips helplessly.

"Professor McGonagall, it's like this..." She had to put aside some of her thoughts and took the initiative to explain to McGonagall, "I want to do something for those humanoid magical creatures, so that the entire magical world can

Wizards and even those creatures themselves understand the value of their existence. Well, just like the house elves!"

"This is a good idea," Professor McGonagall encouraged, and then warned, "But I have to remind you that it is probably very difficult to change those old secular concepts. I think

, that will most likely cost you a lifetime, do you have this awareness, Miss Granger?"

"Yes, of course!" Hermione nodded firmly, "Moreover, if this matter can be successful, I believe that the instability in the magical world will also be reduced... This is a project that is beneficial to the entire world.

The world’s work.”

When she said this, she glanced towards Maka subconsciously, as if she had some other unexplainable thoughts hidden in her heart.

"Now that you have this realization, that's the best!" A smile appeared on Professor McGonagall's face, which was undoubtedly her praise for Hermione's ideas, "So this is 'rescue', then...

...and what is Miss Lovegood's 'search'?"

"Professor, you'd better not think too deeply about Luna's words -" Maka spread her hands with a smile, "She just likes those magical things that have mysterious whereabouts, and most people can't even be sure whether they exist.

Creatures, I simply want to see them with my own eyes... Luna, am I correct in explaining this?"

"Well, yes!" Luna nodded happily, "Actually, there are many creatures right under our noses, but many people can't see them! For example... harassment?"

"Well, of course!" Maka said, "We are all looking forward to the day when you can tell us their appearance and habits. Maybe in the future, some newly discovered magical creatures will be named after you!"

"That's really not bad!" Luna became obviously more excited after hearing this.

In the words of several people, the future of Luna and Hermione seemed to be officially started at this moment. Maybe one day, sooner or later, their wishes will be able to become reality one by one, throughout the history of magic.

Each adds their own touch.

After that, Maka also introduced to Professor McGonagall the "S.E.E.S."

An operational plan for spiritual liberation of house elves.

Finally, when Luna's stomach suddenly growled twice, they remembered that they hadn't eaten lunch yet! In order not to go hungry during the afternoon class, they had to choose to leave the principal's office and go to

I went to the auditorium to fill my stomach.

Before going out, Hermione hesitated again, as if she wanted to say something to Maka. But she thought about it for a moment, but in the end she didn't say anything.

"McLean, what do you think she wants to say to you?" Charlotte looked at the principal's office door that was closed again, with a strange smile.

However, Maka just spread her hands and did not take up the topic.

"Senior sister, have you had lunch?" He turned around and faced Charlotte, "If you have already had lunch, I wonder if I would be lucky enough to invite you to take a walk outside or something like that?"

"A walk?" Charlotte raised her eyebrows and said casually, "Okay? Where do you want to take me?"

"Going to a Muggle family to visit a little girl." He said, seeing the teasing expression on Charlotte's face again, he immediately said helplessly, "Well, to be precise, it's a girl who was just born.

The little girl. Besides, I’m just visiting her by the way. I mainly want to talk to you—well, talk about some recent things related to your family."

"My Home?"

When Charlotte heard this, her expression suddenly changed, and her gradually serious expression was still mixed with some complexity and subtlety.

…

The Fisher family is still the same as before, a young couple living a peaceful life day after day. Under the influence of Maka's spell, they have long regarded Delphi as their biological daughter, and they are careful and cautious.

Accompanying her gradually as she grows.

Speaking of which, little Delphi's fate is actually very similar to that of the cuckoo in the Muggle world. She has been destined to grow up in a family that does not belong to her since she was a child, and may never know the identity of her biological parents throughout her life.

who is it.

It is said that the reason why female cuckoos lay eggs in the nests of other birds is to prevent the ferocious male birds from eating the eggs. Although this does not seem to be the case with Little Delphi, if you want to get to the bottom of it, it is actually

Not much different from a cuckoo.

"This is it."

At this moment, Maka and Charlotte were standing in front of the door of Fisher's house. While he was casually explaining to Charlotte that he had a family of Muggle relatives here, he reached out and rang the doorbell.

After a while, little Delphi's nominal mother Sarah came out and opened the door.

"Oh! McClain?" She said happily as soon as she saw Maka, "Why are you here? You're here to see our little Delphi, right? Come on, come in! Ah... who is this?"

"Just call me Charlotte. I'm MacLean's classmate, a little older than him."

Charlotte didn't like mentioning her last name very much in the past, and she certainly didn't want to mention it in front of others now.

"Oh, Charlotte?" Sarah said with a smile, "You are so beautiful - please come in!"

Under the warm invitation of the hostess, Maca and Charlotte soon followed her to the living room. Her man was often away from home due to work reasons. Obviously, he was probably still on the sea at this moment.

It’s floating!

As soon as Maka entered the living room, she saw the crib placed next to the sofa. At this time, little Delphi was lying there, tilting her head and looking here curiously.

"Delphi, how are you doing lately?"

Maka came close to the crib, stretched out her fingers and waved them in front of her, teasing her with a smile. Charlotte looked at Maka teasing the child, but felt an inexplicable urge to laugh.

His movements in teasing children look too skillful, which really doesn't go well with his boyish appearance.

"Is her name Delphi?" Charlotte also moved closer. Under Sarah's smiling eyes, she said with great interest, "Hey, she looks so cute. She will probably be a beauty when she grows up!"

Judging from the appearance of Voldemort and Bellatrix, the appearance of little Delphi is indeed worth looking forward to. Her biological parents are actually both outstanding wizards, regardless of their character, conduct and age.

, the rest are probably "handsome" and "beautiful".

Maka thought for a while and glanced back at Sarah, as if confirming something.

"Fortunately, Sarah's appearance is acceptable," he commented secretly, and then secretly twitched his lips, "otherwise, it would be enough for an ordinary-looking couple to have a beautiful child.

It’s suspicious.”

But at this moment, Maka suddenly froze. After looking at each other at Charlotte beside him, they both looked in the same direction.

"Next door?" Charlotte asked in surprise.

"Well, it should be next door." Maka nodded, "You wait here, I'll go over and take a look."

At that moment, the sound from the direction next door was suddenly cut off. Although it was only for a moment, they still noticed it - the sign was very much like someone had used a short-term silencing spell next door!
