harry potter book of crimes

As soon as Snape saw Maka coming, he knew that it must be for the "mission" that McGonagall had mentioned a few days ago. However, he was not interested in anything other than teaching, and he had never intended to participate in it.

"Can't."

As far as Snape's unpleasant character is concerned, Maka's face is already very high among the people around him. But no matter how high his face is, when it comes to certain issues of principle, he will never buy it.

.

At this moment, the sound of the school bell suddenly passed through their ears and echoed in the corridor.

"I'm going to start class."

Snape, who had just paused, said a word casually, then continued to walk forward, and soon disappeared at the door of the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

"Bang!"

Maka turned around, looked at the tightly closed teachers, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"At that time, there will be people from outside the school participating, and Defense Against the Dark Arts is a popular subject...Forget it, I'll do it myself!"

In desperation, Maka had no choice but to shake her head and then walked back to Professor Bubaji's office.

Speaking of Ms. Caredi Bubbaji, it may be related to the fact that she was born in Hufflepuff College. She is a very gentle and low-key professor on weekdays.

As far as Maka knows, while serving as a professor of Muggle Studies, she also devotes most of her free time to various activities to safeguard Muggle-related interests, and leaves files in the "Muggle Studies Society"

There are more than ten papers of considerable value.

Of course, these were not the things that impressed Maka the most about Professor Bubaji. The most unforgettable thing about this professor was her tragic sacrifice.

If Maka had not appeared in this world, she would have been captured by Voldemort, and after being brutally tortured, she would have been deprived of her right to live by the Death Curse in front of the main members of the Death Eaters.

Now, thanks to Maka's existence, all those sad things will obviously never happen again.

"Tuk-tuk."

At this time, Professor Bubaji should be in his office.

"Please come in! The door is unlocked—"

To be honest, this is also the first time for Maka to come to this office. After all, when he was in the third grade, he did not take this elective subject that was of no use to him.

The office door opened silently, Maka glanced inside first, and then walked inside.

"Oh, Mr. McLean? You finally thought of coming to my place... Come on, come on, I just made a pot of milk tea, you must try it!"

Ms. Bubaji is also in her forties this year, but perhaps because of her optimistic attitude that never gets angry, her appearance is obviously much younger than her actual age.

Speaking of the more approachable members of the faculty at Hogwarts, apart from Professor Sprout, who "treats everyone as his own family", she is probably the most approachable.

"Thank you, I'll excuse you then."

Maka followed her kindness and sat down at the small table next to her. While the other party was pouring milk tea by the fireplace, she slowly looked around.

As mentioned before, almost every professor's office has a unique personal style. For example, Professor Bubbaji, who is passionate about Muggle Studies, has obviously many more Muggle-like characters in her office.

Objects related to melons.

For example, there are two small and exquisite airplane models placed on that neat desk. Next to the models are several popular science books about airplane manufacturing.

For another example, Maka found a lot of promotional materials about pigeon racing in a corner of the wall. Although this sport has suddenly cooled down in recent years, it is still considered worthy of its former popularity in the Muggle world.

Called a classic.

And another example...

"I'm going...right?"

As he slowly moved his gaze and leisurely looked at the bookshelf on the side, a white machine that looked like a brick suddenly attracted all his attention.

"Ga, Game Boy①? Handheld console?"

Maka's mouth was already crooked with fear.

He never expected that he would actually see a handheld game console in Hogwarts... Although he had already made some mental preparations before coming to this office, thinking that he would find something related to it here.

"Old stuff" closely related to the Muggle world.

However, the brand-new handheld device told him that the preparations he had made before were completely meaningless.

"'Game boy'? Oh, you mean that little Muggle machine?" Bubaji came to Maka with two cups of milk tea and followed his gaze, "That's

A pen pal of mine from the Japanese Magic Institute sent it to me. He said it was a good thing..."

"It's a pity that she never wrote back to me afterwards, and I never figured out how to activate it."

As she spoke, she handed one of the cups of milk tea into Maka's hand and added:

"...I went outside and tried several times, but nothing happened except a red dot lighting up and a line of letters appearing."

"Really?" Maka nodded with a subtle expression, "This... is really regrettable."

While putting on a regretful expression, Maka suppressed all the complaints that were almost rising in his throat. But he actually wanted to tell the other party - without the cassette, of course there would only be one line!

It seems that at least Bubbaji has some understanding of the concept of batteries.

He didn't say anything else, he just picked up the tea cup and took a sip of the milk tea in the cup. The smooth and fragrant taste spread in his mouth, slightly diluting the many exclamation marks in his mind.

"When the current issues are resolved, maybe we can go to Asia to see it. That would be much more interesting than staying here all the time."

Thinking of this, Maka couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"By the way, Professor Bubaji, regarding the task assigned to us by Professor McGonagall...is there anything you need help with?"

Putting aside some messy things for the time being, Maka brought out the main topic.

"Can you help..." Ms. Bubbaji thought for a moment and said, "Mr. MacLean, I remember that you are a Muggle-born wizard, right?"

"Yes, that's right!" Maka nodded and replied.

"That's good!" She explained immediately, "I think you should know that I am a mixed race and have been growing up in the magical world since I was a child. Even though I have done a lot of research on the Muggle world, it is difficult for me to

I feel the authenticity of it more subjectively.”

Having said this, Bubaji spread his hands and asked:

"So, can you help me see if there's anything wrong with some of my preparations? I'm wondering if they might look a little weird in the Muggle world."

"Of course," Maka said happily, "Please tell me! That's why I'm here!"

Seeing that Maka agreed so readily, Ms. Bubaji immediately expressed her gratitude happily, and then walked quickly to a cabinet leaning against the wall not far away.

Not long after, she pulled out a rather large roll of parchment and came to Maka again with brisk steps.

"You take a look at this first, I'm going to use it as a theme to create a surprise for everyone!" Bubaji said cheerfully, "Actually, this is a research topic of my own, and I have spent several years on it.

...But, to be honest, this big thing is too complicated, and I still haven’t figured out a lot of things.”

Upon hearing this, Maka put the tea cup on the small table first, then reached out and took the foot-long parchment roll.

But when he took off the silk ribbon tied to the paper roll and unfolded it, the emotions that he had just finally calmed down once again aroused a thousand waves.

Today, I'm afraid this is the first time he has had such frequent mood swings since he regained his emotions!

"This..." Maka suddenly raised her head and spoke in a weird tone that could no longer be suppressed, "Professor Bubbaji, I think that as long as you continue to persist in your research, you can definitely become a reformer in the contemporary magic world.

pioneer!"

Only now did he realize that he might have unconsciously ignored a potential "legend" over the years.

…

Professor Binns is troubled now because his idea was politely rejected by Maka who came to inquire at noon on the grounds that it was "completely unoriginal".

However, no matter what kind of activities are held, what "new ideas" can the subject of History of Magic bring out?

He was floating around in his office, his translucent body walking back and forth across his desk, but he was completely unaware of it.

The only ghost professor at Hogwarts actually no longer needs an office. After all, he can't touch anything. But because of the diligent cleaning of the elves, the place still looks like the day he died.

, there has been almost no change.

"Well, the history of magic...'novelty'..."

Over the years, Old Binns has never thought about anything other than reciting a lot of memories in his head during class time. That is to say, Professor McGonagall, as the principal, had spoken, otherwise

He was not willing to think about this kind of thing at all.

Compared to Snape, although this ghost professor was a little less thirsty for power, his temper was even worse.

I think he was actually a bad-tempered person during his lifetime. He was famous for his eloquence during the time of the Four Founders, and he was a typical scholar with high combat effectiveness who would "drown you with his saliva".

If it weren't for the long time that had passed by now, he wouldn't be as diligent and unknown as he is now.

"Otherwise, let's take out those old things and make up the numbers..."

As if something suddenly occurred to him, Old Binsi nodded, turned around and drifted towards the wall on the right, then dived into the wall and left. (To be continued)
