"Oh, in fact, Hogwarts has always welcomed professors to sit here... By the way, during dinner later, you can tell us juniors a little story about the past!" Maka said with a smile, "As for cleaning up the auditorium

Whatever, just leave it to us young people."

Even though the other person was once a student at Hogwarts, he is now a guest after all. How in the world can there be any reason for a guest to clean up the house?

No, Maka was still talking casually, and her hand had already been raised.

With a wave of his hand, the examination tables placed in the auditorium disappeared one after another; with another wave, the original four long desks of the academy disappeared from the near side as if someone had lifted an invisible tablecloth.

The distance was revealed; with another wave, the number of braziers on the walls on both sides suddenly dropped sharply, and were replaced by exquisite tapestries embroidered with the Hogwarts school emblem.

When he finally clicked towards the ceiling, the previous hazy white light disappeared silently, replaced by a beautiful dusk with golden-red flowing clouds.

"That's enough. Professors, please follow me to the small hall next door to rest for a while!" Maka extended her hand to invite, but in the end she smiled and shook her head, "Oh no, for Hogwarts...

I think you must be more familiar with it than me."

"No one can say that they know Hogwarts Castle very well, can they?" Old Mrs. Marchbane shook her head gently, and then looked at the restored auditorium and sighed, "Mr. MacLean, you

Do you know? Your talent reminds me of Albus back then... When Albus took the N.E.W.Ts exams, I personally tested him on Charms and Transfiguration. The magic he displayed was something I had never experienced before.

Never seen before..."

As she spoke, she paused as if she was remembering something.

"No, I think... you may be even more amazing than Albus," Ms. Marchbain said. "You defeated two generations of Dark Lords at a teenage age - with Voldemort's exponential growth."

Judging from his strength, this is probably not much easier than that young Gryffindor slaying the black dragons alone!"

"No, no! In fact, on the road of magic, Professor Dumbledore has gone further than everyone thinks..." Maka continued while leading these old professors to the side hall, "As for Grant,

Fendo...with my little ability, how can I possibly compare with the founder of Hogwarts?"

What he said is all true!

After all, he also knew about the dragon-slaying deeds of young Gryffindor. According to the records in the literature, it was a large dragon lair with nearly a hundred dragons! Now, just a black dragon from the Hesidian Islands is magic.

The top magical creature in the "XXXXX" category.

Hundreds of dragons flying in the air, what kind of scene would that be? It's not an exaggeration to say that it blocks out the sky and the sun, but with Maka's magic power and the power of a few rules, he should turn around and run away.

.

While chatting casually, Maka quickly led them through the side door and came to the small hall where the candidates had rested and waited. Professor McGonagall was also here now. Seeing these old professors coming over, she immediately

Welcoming him with a smile.

"Please sit down, you have worked hard today, let's take a rest first!" Mag greeted, "When the preparations in the kitchen are completed, dinner can begin!"

"Professor McGonagall," Maka thought for a while and said, "Since you are here, let me go to the kitchen to take a look! Professors, take a break first... Oh, I think there are still some snacks, everyone can

Let’s eat some dessert first to relieve our fatigue.”

As he spoke, he knocked on the table next to him. Various small desserts and two pots of hot black tea immediately appeared on the table.

After doing this, Maka leaned slightly and left the side hall towards the stairs.

"Minerva, please sit down for a while! We haven't spoken much today..." Mrs. Marchbain just sat down and said kindly, "We were talking about Mr. MacLean's talent just now.

Really, although Hogwarts has lost an Albus, it has gained a younger MacLean! What a blessing from Merlin!"

It can be seen that the old lady obviously feels very sorry when she talks about Dumbledore. She is even older than Dumbledore, but even though she has seen many of her younger generations passing away, she still feels very sorry for him.

A wizard like Dumbledore, who was accompanied by a glorious life, passed away, but he is still deeply touched.

The other old professors who were sitting down also echoed a few times, recalling Dumbledore's various demeanor back then.

"Yes!" Professor McGonagall looked at the direction Maka left and sighed slightly, "Maka is a good child... In fact, the entire Hogwarts owes him a good time as a student."

"He is an amazing child -" the old Tofty professor who had passed Harry's exam said in a trembling voice, "Since he could not finish his student days for the sake of the safety of Hogwarts, then he might as well

Repay him with a more wonderful teaching career."

"That's right," Mrs. Marchban nodded gently. "Watching the students you teach grow up is the most touching thing... Oh, I think I have come up with a good idea.

!Do you want to hear it?"

…

In the next two days, the examination was carried out step by step, and Transfiguration and Herbalism passed one by one. The so-called examination means that some people are happy and some are sad - of course, there must be many more people who are worried.

All in all, the day went by smoothly and nothing unexpected happened. Oh, well! I mean, if you don't count Miss Hannah Abbott's Transfiguration practical exam?

That afternoon, when she was asked to transform the ferret into disappearing form, she somehow transformed it into a large group of flamingos.

"Well, I dare say there must be more than thirty of them! Because when those big red birds were being lined up and driven out of the auditorium, they ran one by one for a long time!" - This is the eyewitness Xi

Words by Moe Finnigan.

However, at noon on the third day, Maca got an extra job from the examiner, Mrs. Marchban, which surprised him.

That afternoon, I was waiting in the side hall for the entrance exam.

"Attention," before the practical exam began, the door leading to the auditorium opened with a bang, and Snape's indifferent face appeared at the door, "the examiner, Professor Marchban, informed that your Professor MacLean will temporarily serve as

There is an examiner who sets the additional questions, and those who are confident can take the initiative to go to him and take the test."

After finishing these formulaic announcements coldly, Snape glanced around the side hall expressionlessly, with a slight curve of contempt at the corner of his mouth.

"Don't say I didn't warn you, it will be very difficult," he said. "If you don't have real skills, don't go there and embarrass me - especially those idiots who always make mistakes in my classes. Do you understand?"

?”

Before he finished speaking, he didn't wait for the little wizards to react, and after reading a few names, he walked into the auditorium behind him without looking back.

In the side hall, except for the few students who were called first and hurriedly went to the auditorium, the rest of the people looked at each other in surprise.

Yes, today's test is Defense Against the Dark Arts. But no one expected that Maka would appear at the afternoon practical test and even serve as a temporary examiner.

"Maka is testing our additional questions? How is this possible?" Hermione was the first to exclaim, "Only examiners sent by the examination bureau are qualified to set questions, and other people's signatures are invalid!"

"With Maka's magic level and achievements, who can say that he can't be a mere examiner!" Ron retorted, "I should give it a try later, and maybe I can get an 'O' on my score sheet by then."

(Excellent)'!"

"No, this has nothing to do with ability!" Hermione glared at him and said, "Don't you know? Every official examiner has a file in the Education Department. They hold examiner certificates. Without files and certificates, their signatures are

It must be invalid!”

Of course Hermione was right, Maka's signature was definitely invalid, but sitting with him in front of the auditorium was Mrs. Marchbain, the examiner this time.

Of course, the rules of wizard examinations over the years cannot be broken, but a little flexibility is not a problem. This old lady who seems to be strict and serious on the surface is actually a complete Gryffindor in her heart.

"Professor Marchban, is this really appropriate?" Maka sat for a while, still thinking this was strange, "I think it's unnecessary for me to be the temporary examiner... right?"

Old Mrs. Marchban looked straight ahead, but a kind smile appeared on her face.

"Mr. MacLean, if I remember correctly, it seems to have been a while since you took up the position of professor." She said leisurely, "Do you think that as a teacher, that is the moment when you can best appreciate this profession?

Good times?”

Regarding the old lady's somewhat off-topic inquiry, Maka somehow revealed some of her intentions.

"You mean, when a teacher sees his students succeeding in learning?"

Maka's answer seemed to satisfy March's class. She nodded slightly and said, "I've asked many people this question, and the answer I've heard the most is 'when my students have achieved something'... But to be honest,

Yes, many of the students at that time are actually no longer your students..."

"...People will slowly change with life," she said. "Perhaps the happiest thing in Albus's life is to have an unusual student like you... You let him be with you

When I was still his student, I tasted the beauty of being a teacher."

What Mrs. Marchban said made Maka next to her sigh with emotion. I am afraid that only someone like her who has been a professor all her life can express such a view.

"Actually, I'm very lucky to have Professor Dumbledore as an 'irresponsible teacher'." Maca paused and said with a chuckle.
