"President Ajinbad of the Federation rushed to the Ministry of Magic overnight with several reviewers and will go to Hogwarts tomorrow morning. Judging from the conversation we heard, it seems that he is going to you to discuss a project."

That person's covert actions."

Maka looked at the small note she had just received, and the expression on her face became confused - Ajinbad did not come alone, this was obviously a formal visit although confidential.

And when Akinbad no longer visits Hogwarts in a private capacity, it means that the other party does not agree with Hogwarts staying out of the matter and wants to force Marka and others into the game.

In fact, Maka can also understand Akinbad's dilemma. After all, the name Haierbo is a huge trouble in itself in the modern magic world.

As the current president of the International Federation of Wizards, Akinbad must find a way to nip this trouble in the bud in order to continue to maintain the stability of the magic world.

"Speaking of which, did I tell him about Haierbo?"

At that time, although Maka was only providing conjectures to Akinbad in order to expose Haierbo's conspiracy and increase the resistance to Haierbo's development of power.

But now, his mood is somewhat contradictory.

…

Early the next morning, the president of the International Federation of Wizards arrived as scheduled - he even got up earlier than some young wizards!

When Maka received Snape's message and came to the principal's office, he found Akinbad already sitting on a cushioned armchair not far from the desk.

Behind him, three men and one woman, four council members of the federation stood together, pursed their lips and said nothing.

Of course, the Minister of Magic, Scrimgeour, was also present, because old Mr. Akinbad came from his Ministry of Magic.

"McLean is here."

Snape brought Maka here like a prisoner, and then after saying these words, he turned around and left.

In the past, Maka might have complained in his heart, but today he was not in the mood.

"Professor McGonagall, Mr. Akinbard...and Mr. Scrimgeour, good morning to everyone." He greeted each one one by one, then stopped fussing with the red tape and walked straight to the armchair on the other side.

Sat down.

Behind Ajinbad, the four reviewers glanced at him several times with different eyes.

Although most of the four people's eyes flickered with curiosity or hesitation, since the president had not yet spoken, they all suppressed the various thoughts in their hearts and continued to act like immobile mutes.

At this moment, Ajinbad suddenly shifted his gaze from Maka to Mag.

"Since Mr. McClain has arrived, let's start as soon as possible!" He said calmly.

Maka bets that the old wizard is definitely not as calm as he appears.

But while being a wizard, he is also a qualified person in power.

If we put aside certain forces that can only be known behind the scenes, at least on the surface, he, the "President of the International Confederation of Wizards", already holds the most powerful position in the wizarding world in Europe.

Therefore, Maka was not surprised at all that Ajinbad had such a calm face.

Seeing what the old wizard said, Maga and Maka's eyes crossed slightly, and then they moved away.

"Okay," Professor McGonagall, who was not sitting behind the desk, but also sitting in a back chair of the same style, nodded, "Then, Mr. Akinbad, please first explain the purpose of your visit.

?”

Maka didn't speak, because McGonagall was the current principal of Hogwarts, and he was just an ordinary magic text professor.

He didn't want to interrupt casually until the conversation got to the point.

"Well, our reason for coming is actually very simple," Mr. Ajinbad said, leaning forward slightly. "First of all, the Federation is very grateful to your school for the reminder. The two letters before and after made a great contribution to our initial assessment of the incident.

correction."

"To be honest, I have only seen the name 'Despicable Herbo' in some books and materials. But the incomplete information alone has led us to draw a lot of conjectures and conclusions...

"

"Yes, it can be concluded from that information alone that the dark wizard born in ancient times is indeed able to survive today with the help of the effects of Horcruxes - as long as all the Horcruxes are not destroyed, he is very likely to still be alive.

!”

Ajinbad first expressed his sincere gratitude, but soon changed the topic:

"Unfortunately, although I wanted to eliminate this huge hidden danger and make his conspiracy aborted...but after several days of hard thinking, I found that I couldn't come up with a feasible plan on my own.

"

As he spoke, he suddenly called their names again.

"Ms. McGonagall, Mr. MacLean -" he said, "If Herbo is as powerful as recorded in the literature, I think the power of Hogwarts is absolutely indispensable."

"...Especially Mr. McClain, we need your assistance!"

Ajinbad said so many words, and finally praised Maka without any concealment, but Maka remained silent and did not speak.

On the other end, Professor McGonagall didn't speak at first. She just looked at Maka to see what he meant. But after a few seconds of silence in the principal's office, she suddenly remembered some of her thoughts recently.

"I think..." McGonagall thought for a while and said, "We need to work with the Federation to do something. If Halbo really expands enough power in the Israeli magic world, then he will definitely be more harmful than Green back then.

Ward is much bigger."

Upon hearing this, Ajinbad couldn't help but lean towards Mag and salute again.

The previous letters that McGonagall sent him had fully hinted that Hogwarts would not intervene for the time being. Therefore, he did not expect that McGonagall would give him the most desired one so quickly during today's trip.

Attitude.

"Thank you for your understanding, Ms. McGonagall!" After expressing his gratitude seriously, he turned his attention to Maka again, "Mr. Maclean... I personally think that if President Dumbledore is still here,

If so, he will definitely——"

"That's impossible to say" - Maka naturally didn't say this, but he still waved his hand and interrupted Ajinbad's next words.

After pondering for a moment, he finally said:

"Okay! I understand. If there is a more feasible action plan, I think I can shoulder part of that plan."

If it had to be said, Maka had actually been making preparations to deal with Haierbo. He originally didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the International Federation of Wizards.

But he couldn't even explain any of his preparations.

It's just that... the reason why he decided to agree was not because of the above reasons.

When Maka gave this answer, Ajinbad was obviously relieved. And his small reaction was also seen by the four reviewers behind him.

To be honest, even if they both knew something about each other's experiences and achievements, even though they both seemed to be underage wizards, they were still unconvinced.

Of course, not to mention the complicated feelings among the four of them, Professor McGonagall seemed very happy after hearing that Maka finally chose to agree.

For Minerva McGonagall, who had always admired Dumbledore's charity, her act of standing up to eliminate dangerous dark wizards was worthy of recognition.

If possible this time, she would even like to contribute her own share of the matter.

Even if she understands that she cannot face the enemy alone like Dumbledore, she can accept being a part of the plan like she did in the Order of the Phoenix.

What's more, after deciding to assist the Federation, she will do her best to protect Hogwarts.

"...Now if we want to eliminate the invisible crisis of 'Despicable Haierbo', we must formulate a plan for his Horcrux. We will sort out a preliminary plan as soon as possible, and I will personally inform you two at that time.

.”

Ajinbad said in a deep voice, his expression obviously more serious than before.

"Now that we have you, I believe we will be able to find a practical and effective method soon - then I won't disturb your work today, let's go back first!"

As he said this, McGonagall and Maka sent him out of the school gate, and only now did Maka realize that Scrimgeour, who had followed him on this trip, could not say even half a sentence from the beginning to the end.

Okay! This guy is at least better than the four guys who have been standing behind Ajinbad. At least he still has a chair to sit on.

"I'm sorry, Maka." Seeing Akinbad and others apparate away, Mag suddenly said, "I didn't want to agree with what he said, but... I remembered some of Albus's words in the past.

.”

In fact, Maka did not agree to participate in the plan purely to protect Hogwarts from being involved in the quagmire prematurely.

But there is nothing fundamentally wrong with Mag's idea.

There are many things in this world that don't have just one answer, and it's obviously unrealistic to say whether people's answers can be right or wrong.

"No, Professor McGonagall," Maka said softly, looking back at Hogwarts Castle, "you don't need to apologize at all, do you? And... although this is indeed earlier than I expected, but

Actually it’s not a big problem.”

Mag couldn't help but be startled when he heard this.

"You...could it be said...that you wanted to agree from the beginning?"

"Well, you can't say that!" Maka said, "I'm actually not sure about some things, so I can't tell you... Anyway, Professor McGonagall! Before the Federation comes up with a good plan,

Let’s prepare the Christmas activities to be more lively first!” (To be continued)
