I'm sorry, but I don't think my gift deserves to be at your bedside on Christmas Day, so... I wish you a Merry Christmas in advance!"

When Maca heard the Christmas greetings Troyer gave to Ron, his expression was also very subtle. To say it was not quite a friend, he almost laughed at that time.

However, this kind of thing is very embarrassing for anyone. As for Ron, Maka can only hope that he will be happy...

Okay! Let’s not mention these nonsense for now, let’s return our attention to the topic!

Today, three days before Christmas, Maca finally received another letter from Akinbad, the president of the International Federation of Wizards.

In that long letter, which took several pages, Akinbad somehow described in detail all the changes in Haifa these days.

After the thunderstorm that night wiped away Muggle memories, this city that suffered from unimaginable disasters quickly returned to its original life thanks to the dedicated efforts of the Federation personnel.

Of course, because the repair time is too tight, even if a large number of wizards do it, it will inevitably be a little rough. In a short period of time after that, various buildings in Haifa City are likely to be damaged due to various inexplicable reasons.

Accidental damage occurred.

To this end, the wizards of the Federation are still adding follow-up "rework" tasks, trying to reduce secondary casualties of Muggles in Haifa as much as possible.

Moreover, the letter also stated that the mayor of Haifa City had been "communicated" behind these tasks. This was an extremely rare cooperation project between wizards and Muggles over the years.

Such "post-disaster reconstruction" work, Ajinbad actually described it in detail in the letter to Maka. Even Maka didn't understand what the old man was thinking when he read it for the first time.

something.

Wouldn't it be nice to sum up this content by saying "everything is recovering"? As for the meaningless nonsense like "the mayor of Haifa's hair is a wig", why not include it?

It was only after reading this letter for the first time that Maka discovered Ajinbad's true purpose in writing this thing.

"...In addition, our people found that the Xibohe Magic Academy was empty, and there was no one there. But in the dean's office, we found that a door leading to the inner lounge could not be opened. We used

I tried various methods, including smashing through the wall, but I couldn't get into that room at all."

"So, if you can, please come over and see if you can open it. I think that since the lounge is so completely sealed, there should be something valuable left in it."

Halbo ran away, walking very quickly with his few remaining men. Perhaps because of this, Ajinbad guessed that there was something in that room that Halbo had not taken away in his haste.

After reading the letter, Maka naturally had no interest in re-reading this extremely trivial account. He threw the letter on the desk and quickly stood up.

"As a result, only the last sentence is useful..."

In fact, Ajinbad's efforts were really in vain this time.

Perhaps it was because Maka had always refused the previous few times that he thought Maka was not interested in things far away in Israel, and did not even bother to participate in them.

But the fact is that Maka cares as much as she cares about Haierbo.

Of course, Ajinbad's long letter also represents his attitude towards Maka. So even though this nonsense is a bit long-winded, Maka is still in a good mood.

"Then go take a look! Maybe you can get some useful clues..."

...

Because he had already been here last time, this time without Sirius to help him carry the locating runes, he could still use the mark he left that night to come here.

Soon, he was flying over the city with the magic book and the Disillusionment Charm, and then passed through the passage leading to the Hebehe Academy of Magic and came to the street in front of the mansion.

Not long ago, since Haierbo took over this college, there have been very few outsiders who have come here. As for the outsiders who entered the iron door along this small street, the only one who was

The unlucky guy who was "trapped" by Sirius was the only one.

It was not until that night that some of the Federation's Aurors and examiners, led by Akinbad, went inside and searched the entire college residence.

But now, when Maka also walked into the open iron gate and stepped into the front hall through the front door, she discovered it.

After all, this is not Hogwarts. There are not so many complex and detailed solidification magics. Many places are just ordinary wizard buildings that have been cast with structural strengthening spells.

"Oh! Mr. McLean, you're here...please, the president and some specially assigned curse breakers are waiting for you upstairs! It's on the top floor, you can see it when you go up."

As soon as he entered the front hall, he was greeted by two Federation personnel on duty here. Judging from their attire, they must be Aurors.

"OK, thanks."

Maka thanked the two of them, but received a vigorous shake of the head.

"No, no, no, how dare you thank us? This is the responsibility of both of us..."

"Yes, yes, please-please go upstairs!"

That night, the spider army released by Maka petrified many enemies, which could be said to have completed their mission perfectly. But in addition, they also frightened many Muggles and their own wizards.

Just as Maka thought at the time, the Muggle memory was gone, but most wizards were not completely affected by the medicinal effect mixed in the rain.

In this way, after knowing that those spiders were all made by Maka, those who experienced it were all in awe of him.

You know, there are so many spiders that can fill every street with water! Even experienced and courageous Aurors cannot have experienced such battles.

So, amid the two people's "dare not"s, Maka quickly climbed up the stairs with some helplessness. It wasn't until he could no longer hear the sound below that he continued to walk up the stairs calmly.

The two spineless Aurors below were right. As soon as they reached the top floor, Maka saw that there seemed to be a lot of people crowded into the innermost room.

Seeing this, he didn't waste any more time and hurriedly walked through the corridor to the room with the nameplate "Dean's Room" hanging on the wall at the door.

Just like when he entered the front hall just now, this time a large group of people looked towards him, and several of them subconsciously surrounded him.

Fortunately, these curse breakers were temporarily transferred in the past two days, and Ajinbad was the only one who had also experienced the spider wave that night.

"Who are you? How did you get here? No one except the Curse Breaker is allowed to come in here for the time being... Get out quickly, there may still be danger here!"

Curse breakers are very keen on areas where there are questions, and the old wizard who came to Maka the fastest is obviously a very qualified old curse breaker.

But despite the strong tone of his words, if you just listen to the content, you can find that his words are full of kindness and consideration for others.

However, before Maka could open his mouth to explain, the slightly nervous and kind-hearted old man was pushed away by Ajinbad who quickly squeezed in from behind.

"Hey! Ignore him, of course you can come in-"

Ajinbad hurriedly grabbed Maka's arm, as if he was afraid that he would change his mind and go back if he was unhappy, and forcefully pulled him inside.

Maka was dragged further into the room by him, while still bathing in more than a dozen pairs of doubtful glances from all around. He took advantage of this short period of time to glance around a few times, and suddenly paused, which made him nervous.

Ajinbad, who was holding him, almost lost his balance.

"Bill! Are you here too?"

Most of the people in this room were at least middle-aged wizards, but among these people, there was a tall young man who stood out particularly.

But I saw that this dear man had red hair tied into a ponytail, and wore a silver earring on one ear, with a strange fan-like pendant hanging underneath the earring.

But what is more concerning is his clothing - a black leather jacket with a lot of metal accessories, which makes it not surprising that he joins any rock band.

And this special young wizard is the eldest son of the Weasley family - Bill Weasley.

"You also worked as a curse-breaker in Egypt, and you were excellent - I should have thought of that!"

Maka said hello to the other party, while Bill, who was standing behind several middle-aged wizards, shrugged and showed a mischievous smile that was very characteristic of the Weasley family.

"You finally saw me. It took you 15 seconds from the time you walked in!"

Yes, this is also the characteristic of the Weasley family - funny, but also a bit boring.

"Oh, really? Then I can try to get 10 seconds next time," Maka waved her hand and said, "Let's talk later and get down to business first! I think Mr. Ajinbad can't wait any longer..."

He said, smiled at the president of the federation in front of him, and then walked forward.

"By the way, my name is 'Maka McClane', and I am currently the professor of ancient magic at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry... Everyone, excuse me."

Most of the curse breakers are old academics with practical abilities. Compared to their professional qualities, don't expect too much in terms of interpersonal communication.

Of the curse breakers here today, Bill is probably the only one who knows Maka.

But this is not important. Even Maka does not need to introduce too much about his experience. Because just the title of "Professor of Ancient Magic Texts at Hogwarts" is enough for him to stand among this group of people without any problem.

No sense of dissonance anymore.

"Yes, let's all get to know each other..." Akinbad nodded hurriedly, and then said, "Mr. McLean, come and take a look at this door!" (To be continued)
