When Professor McGonagall entered the principal's office, she saw Dumbledore frowning at a letter.
"What's wrong? Professor Dumbledore? Did something happen on Potter's side? "
"Ah.... Professor McGonagall...."
Upon hearing Professor Mag's voice, Dumbledore raised his head and looked at her with a wry smile.
"It's not Potter.... Hmm, I've already asked Hagrid to deal with it, but we have a problem...."
"Problem?"
"Yes.... Professor McGonagall, you haven't forgotten what happened ten years ago, have you...."
"Of course."
Upon hearing that, Professor Mag's expression became much more serious.
"I'll never forget what happened at that time … Could it be that that person …"
"No, strictly speaking, this is even more troublesome than that...."
Dumbledore lowered his head and fell silent for a moment.
"Professor Quirrell was killed."
"What?!"
Professor McGonagall could no longer sit still.
"Who did it?!"
"An eleven-year-old girl."
".... Huh?"
Professor McGonagall was stunned by Dumbledore's answer.
"Dumbledore, are you sure?"
"Of course, and this child's background isn't ordinary...."
As he spoke, Dumbledore handed over the letter in his hand. Professor McGonagall took the letter and read it. Then, he frowned.
The letter contained information about a girl. Her mother was a wizard, and her father was a Muggle. However, in a tragedy ten years ago, the girl's parents were killed. She was the only one who escaped death because she happened to be in a neighbour's house. After that, the girl was sent to an orphanage and was later adopted by someone. The person who adopted her was....
"Kane James? Don't tell me it's that.... "
Seeing this name, Professor McGonagall's expression changed slightly. Dumbledore nodded.
"That's right, it's him."
"...."
Professor McGonagall's expression became even more solemn when he heard Dumbledore's answer. As one of the higher-ups of Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall naturally knew that in this country, there was a group of people who had always hoped to completely deprive the magic world of its autonomy and place it under the complete control of the government. And this man named James was one of them. Now, he actually adopted a wizard's son and even trained her into an agent ….
"They've already discovered Voldemort who's parasitizing Professor Quirrell. I can't stop him. These people obviously want to use this girl to interfere in Hogwarts …. Although I don't know their intentions, I don't want to cause too much trouble …. "
"What a pitiful child …"
Professor Mag could not help but sigh when he read the contents of the letter. Although the letter did not say much, just a few sentences were enough to show the child's background and the environment she grew up in. Not to mention, she was only eleven years old, but she was already going to experience a bloody battle on the battlefield ….
"I can tell from the child's tone that she hates wizards and us very much … So, I hope I can help her."
"So what are you going to do? Professor Dumbledore? "
"I've invited that child to be the teacher for the Defense Against Dark Magic class."
"… Eh?"
Even Professor Mag was taken aback by Dumbledore's bold and unexpected move.
"Isn't she only eleven years old? Defense Against Dark Magic class …. Are you sure she can do it? "
"Judging from her resume, she's already carried out several missions. Her understanding of dark magic is even better than the average school wizard. More importantly …. I can't feel at ease putting her among the students …."
"I understand what you mean …."
Professor McGonagall nodded in agreement. Just as Dumbledore had said, if such a dangerous person were to be placed among the freshmen, who knew what kind of trouble they would cause — not to mention, there was also Harry Potter among the freshmen this year.
If this child was assigned to the same school as Harry Potter, who knows what kind of storm it would cause ….
"… That's it. What do you think of this setting?"
At the same time, in the forest hut, Alice was happily writing while chatting with Yui.
"Dad, shouldn't this kind of setting be the second female lead?"
"More or less. You see, her parents died when she was young, and she was raised in hatred. She was taught to hate wizards, and she entered Hogwarts as a spy to cause trouble. The third female lead is because she lost her parents and grew up in a dangerous environment, so she sealed her heart …. The usual pattern for this kind of setting is that she gradually becomes attracted to the main character after entering the school, then starts to change. After that, she starts to have doubts about her mission, and she either surrenders or betrays the main character. After that, she gets captured by the boss behind the scenes as a hostage, and is rescued by the main character. After that, she chooses to cry and repent in front of the main character …. "
Speaking of this, Alice clapped her hands.
"That's the usual pattern, right?"
"That's right."
"That's why she can only be a supporting character. If you want to be the main character, you have to persevere to the end! Only those little girls with immature values in life would waver in this kind of question. My goal is to completely destroy the world of magic! No one can do it! "
That's right, this was the goal that Fangzheng …. or rather, the goal that Alice found for herself. That was to unite with the Muggle world to completely conquer the world of magic, and start a war between the world of magic and England. Dumbledore must have seen through her "setting". In Dumbledore's eyes, she was probably just a lonely little girl with a painful past, and there was still a chance for her to repent …. Come on, this is only effective on retarded children like Harry Potter.
As an actress, she had to pay attention to her own self-cultivation. She had to immerse herself in the character. Only by becoming that person could she perfectly integrate into the character. Wasn't that the essence of role-playing? She had to display the characteristics and behavior of the character that she was set up to be able to fully enjoy the fun.
If she played the emperor, she would be the emperor. If she played the beggar, she would be the beggar. If she played the emperor as a beggar, and the beggar as an emperor, she would be a celebrity.
So now was the time for her to show off her acting skills.
Thinking of this, Alice reached for the phone on the table and dialed a number. Her voice became cold and inorganic again.
"Mission completed …. Yes, I met Professor Albus Dumbledore …. He invited me to be a teacher for the Defense Against Magic class …. Yes, I'm confident that I can complete the mission …. Understood."
After a short reply, Alice hung up the phone again. At the same time, she lowered her head and silently read the magic book in front of her. There was no light in her ruby-like eyes. It was as if she had no self-awareness and was a puppet with her heart sealed off. She just sat there quietly, motionless. From the girl's back, one could see a hint of loneliness and indifference. That unapproachable tone and action made one's heart ache ….
This was what it meant to have Oscar -level professional acting skills! (Looking up)
It turned out that Alice's guess was correct.
"Ding dong."
Early the next morning, the doorbell rang. Alice put down the book in her hand and looked at the door. She walked to the entrance and opened the door. There was no one outside except for a cat sitting on the ground, staring at her curiously.
"Who are you?"
Ailee clearly had no intention of playing riddles with Mag. Upon hearing her question, the dragon-li cat abruptly leaped into the air before transforming into the form of a regal woman. It was none other than Professor Mag.
"Hello, you must be Miss Alice. I'm the vice principal of Hogwarts, Mileva Mag."
Mag greeted the girl in front of him with a benevolent smile. Meanwhile, Ailee merely stared at Mag in silence for a moment before nodding in response.
"Hello, Ms. Mag. Please come in."
As she spoke, Ailey lowered her hand. Only then did Mag realize that in her right hand, there was a small pistol that he didn't know when it had started ….
This girl is really dangerous!
Although Mag was still smiling on the surface, he was sweating profusely in his heart. He didn't realize that this little girl would actually point a pistol at him …. If he had done anything at that time, there would be a few bloody holes on his body now.
Mag took a deep breath and followed Alice into the house. Then, Alice invited him to sit down and brewed a pot of tea. After that, Mag calmed himself down and began to talk about the main topic.
"Then, Miss Alice, I think you should know why I'm looking for you …. Principal Dumbledore hopes that you can teach Defense Against Dark Magic. What do you think?"
"No problem."
Alice's answer was very short. It wasn't that she was shy, but more like she didn't care. There was no light in her eyes, completely different from the Hogwarts children Mag usually saw.
"I think you should know very well that Defense Against Dark Magic is a very important subject. We have to teach children how to protect themselves in the face of danger … so I need to conduct some tests on you …."
"No problem."
This was naturally not a problem for Alice. Although she didn't have much actual combat experience in this world, Fangzheng's combat experience was incomparable. She had also seen the strange and dangerous animals in this world, so she naturally knew how to deal with them. Very soon, Alice passed Professor Mag's test without a hitch.
"Looks like there's really no problem with your strength."
In the end, Professor Mag had no choice but to nod.
Then, she took out an envelope.
"This is your letter of appointment. You can take the train to Hogwarts with the new students. The ticket and other things are all inside … Well, I hope you'll have a good day."
"Thank you."
Alice took the envelope and nodded slightly. Professor Mag lowered her head and turned to leave.
"Sigh …."
After walking out of the house, Professor Mag couldn't help but sigh. Although she already knew about this girl's past, after talking to her, she felt even sadder. This girl seemed to have completely sealed off her heart and rejected all contact with the outside world. This made Professor Mag's heart ache. As the vice-principal of Hogwarts, she had seen many children, but this was the first time she had seen someone as cold and indifferent as this girl.
She wondered if there would be any changes in her life in Hogwarts.
Professor Mag didn't notice at all that this girl in front of her was just a facade.
That's why …. What is a professional!
