The news that Professor McGonagall had ended her vacation quickly spread throughout the school as if it had been given wings, causing the entire castle to change its appearance.

The Gryffindors who took advantage of the loopholes in the confinement management to cause trouble suddenly became obedient, and the other students watching the theater also became obedient one by one.

The fifth-grade students even started cheering - Dumbledore's lectures by students from other grades were extremely lively and interesting, but only the fifth-grade students were filled with papers!

The professors in the staff lounge were also very happy and began to sort out the various applications that had been put on hold during this period, preparing to arrange everything before the Easter holiday.

Even Peeves restrained himself a little. He was happily teasing Myrtle and gave up his plan to chase after Myrtle after learning about Professor McGonagall's return to school.

But alas, the transformation stopped at lunchtime.

"What, you mean, Professor McGonagall has not ended her vacation, she just returned to school to have a look?"

William opened his mouth wide and looked at Adams, who was extremely well-informed.

"Are you kidding me, Adams? Professor McGonagall really plans to take a full month's vacation?"

"Of course it's true. This was found out by Professor Sprout himself - you know, the new greenhouse is about to be built, so Professor Sprout knew that Professor McGonagall applied for a large number of dragons after he came back.

Come here."

"Ah, yes, that's what happened."

William knew this. The new greenhouse had been built on and off for a long time, and it was about to be put into use. The official use would definitely be after Easter, but the soil must be processed in advance.

Dragon dung is an excellent fertilizer because it contains weak magic power, but it is a bit difficult to mobilize so much at once - firstly, purchasing channels, and secondly, transportation capacity, both of which are big problems.

Dumbledore can definitely do the first one to save his face, but it's hard to say if the second one is properly arranged. After all, the castle has to transport daily food. If the scheduling is not good, the packed dragon dung is accidentally sent to the cafeteria.

Go, then it’s really not just a matter of being hungry...

Another problem is that there is a professor named Hagrid in the school. According to Dumbledore's current review report model, Professor Sprout is very worried that Hagrid will take the opportunity to suggest that Dumbledore might as well buy it instead of produce it himself, and simply transport it.

A dragon comes in...

Although this is outrageous, according to Dumbledore's censorship methods, Professor Sprout was very worried that this would really happen - Adams told it as a joke, but for some reason, William felt that Professor Sprout's

She does have reason to worry...

"So, when will Professor McGonagall end her leave?"

William finished delivering this week's papers and left Dumbledore's office, thinking about this issue while eating the new snacks in his hands.

Dumbledore has worked very hard, but dealing with government affairs requires not only talent, but also accumulated experience. And because Professor McGonagall has been here over the years, Dumbledore has not accumulated much in it.

"But no matter what, it's only five days. There's no need to prepare the papers. It's rare to take a break from the busy work to train the Animagus to transform."

He looked at the weather and finally chose the latter between the training flight and the Animagus.

'Speaking of which, the flying magic that Dumbledore promised me has not yet been completed. I hope that after Professor McGonagall ends her vacation, Dumbledore can complete the related magic quickly...'

He still has some self-awareness about himself. If he doesn't make a breakthrough in some field, it would be a dream to expect him to develop flight.

'So Professor Snape's flight must not have been made by himself - considering that he is a Death Eater, this thing is almost certainly developed by the Dark Lord... In other words, the Dark Lord must be able to fly?'

After confirming this matter, William couldn't help but shake his head - he had to tell Dumbledore about this matter as a necessary reminder.

Although Dumbledore might have guessed this, it did not stop William from reminding him so that Dumbledore could develop the flying spell faster and better.

"William!"

Just when William was thinking about how to make it clear to Dumbledore that flying magic should be put on the agenda, he suddenly heard Hagrid's shout.

"Hey, Hagrid, good morning!"

William looked at Hagrid and found that Hagrid's current image was a bit embarrassed. Although he tried to look normal, the injuries on his face were still very conspicuous.

"Hagrid, who bullied you?"

After William once again confirmed that the injuries on Hagrid's face were caused by being beaten, he felt a little angry.

This is Hogwarts!

Although Professor McGonagall has gone on vacation, Dumbledore is still there! Hagrid is the keeper of the door keys to Hogwarts. Who is so bold as to take action against Hagrid?

Not even Aurors!

"No, no."

Hagrid shook his head desperately, as if denying something.

"Don't be afraid. Even if officials from the Ministry of Magic come over, we have nothing to worry about."

On the eve of the Dark Lord's outbreak, the school had already cooperated with the Ministry of Magic through Qi. Even if Fudge took action himself, he would still have to give an explanation - although Fudge would definitely not be able to defeat Hagrid...

"No, no!"

Hagrid shook his head harder, giving William a very familiar feeling - this is the feeling Gryffindor students give when they get into trouble and are not caught at the scene.

Wait a minute - Hagrid is also a Gryffindor, so that's okay.

"Did you get bitten by a dragon?"

"Where is the dragon?"

Hagrid's eyes widened, his face full of anticipation.

…

It's hopeless - indeed, Professor Sprout was right.

William remembered the joke told by Adams for some reason, and then stared at Hagrid, "Okay, then I suspect that you were attacked by some creature in the Forbidden Forest and had your memory wiped. Go back and apply for access to the Forbidden Forest immediately.

Conduct a search."

"don't want!"

Hagrid shouted, then turned his head warily to look around, and finally confessed with a look of reluctance.

"What, you brought your brother over?"

William's eyes widened and he looked at Hagrid, "Where are you in the Forbidden Forest?"

"Um…"

Hagrid was a little embarrassed, "It's mainly because you checked too much..."

The Forbidden Forest in Hogwarts is very large, and there are many kinds of magical creatures in it. There is Hagrid guarding the edge of the Forbidden Forest inside the school, so there is no police or other security there at all.

But it would be a different story if Hagrid leads the way.

William shook his head helplessly. He knew what Hagrid was thinking - according to Hagrid, his brother was always bullied in the tribe because he was a little short, so he brought his brother back.

But in the eyes of most wizards, giants are very aggressive. Although Hagrid is very willing to introduce his brother to his friends, William and the others are still responsible for a considerable part of the castle's security after all...

'It can only be said that Hagrid is thinking too much...'

William sighed. He didn't really discriminate against giants. To be honest, compared to other dangerous creatures in the Forbidden Forest, giants were really nothing to worry about - William had found traces of the Acromantula many times in the Forbidden Forest.

, Just a giant, what does it count?

In this regard, he is quite mediocre. Giants have the possibility of communication, but they also lack the ability to cast spells. Compared to XXXXX-level magical creatures like the Acromantula, which like to live in groups, it is nothing to worry about.

As long as Hagrid doesn't bring his younger brother to class - although William is sure that Hagrid wouldn't do such a thing.

"I won't expel him, but does the principal know?"

"I don't know yet..."

Hagrid was a little ashamed. He had already introduced his brother to Harry and the others, but Dumbledore didn't know yet.

That means you already know... William held his forehead and said, "You have to report to Dumbledore. I will speak for you and will not expel him."

Although Dumbledore must have known about it, William thought to himself, "In addition, you have to prohibit him from approaching the outside of the Forbidden Forest. The students have been extremely naughty recently..."

"I promise."

Hagrid responded with some seriousness in his shame.

"Well, well, let's go to the Forbidden Forest first. I have to assess his dangerous status to determine whether he lives in the deepest part or whether he can expand his hunting area slightly."

Before talking to the principal, William must judge the danger of Hagrid's younger brother, Grawp - although Hagrid's magical creatures class is very clear now, but now it involves family ties, that is another story

.

——

On the way into the Forbidden Forest with Hagrid, William confirmed that Hagrid was not lying.

For safety reasons, he placed his younger brother deeper in the Forbidden Forest. They drove straight for almost ten minutes and still did not reach their destination.

This was not an ordinary ten minutes. Unlike ordinary students, Hagrid was so familiar with the Forbidden Forest that he would not take the slightest detour. Moreover, he was eager to prove to William that his brother was harmless, so his steps were much faster than usual.

"That's it, William."

Hagrid subconsciously slowed down, "He's right over there, but we have to be a little quieter."

'I knew it...'

William shook his head slightly - he just said that the reason why Hagrid could place his brother so deep was definitely not because his brother was very obedient.

But it’s not a big problem and it’s within the scope of consideration.
