Chapter 454 A Little Unexpected
"First, let's—let's inscribe a new magic circle—"
"This magic circle is about—"
"Professor Hamilton seems a little—nervous today?" Ron whispered to Harry. "Did you notice?"
"It's probably because of the person behind us," Harry said in a low voice, glancing slightly at the person behind him. He then saw a serious-looking Stenberg.
Dumbledore introduced him at the dinner party on the first day of school.
William von Steinberger, an Auror from the German Ministry of Magic, is said to be an extremely skilled detective—in any case, judging from his performance, he is definitely the most professional Auror Harry has ever met.
He always had a serious expression, did everything meticulously, and always had a notebook in his hand.
It is said that he would even go to the basement every day to check on Karkarov's body, hoping to find some clues.
"What an amazing Auror!" Harry thought, looking at Professor Hamilton, whose ears were twitching uncontrollably as she stood on the stage. He felt he could understand her now.
But I don't think I've ever seen him in any other classes—is he interested in magic circles? Or is it—
Harry shook his head.
Didn't he know that Professor Hamilton was with us when the incident occurred?
"I must protect Professor Hamilton!" Harry nodded seriously and clenched his fist.
Hermione raised an eyebrow and said, "I heard from Izaria yesterday that this Mr. Stöger is still inquiring about the Pinecone Party."
"He seems very interested in our organization."
"He probably won't join, right?" Ron muttered to himself, "Just like before—"
"Don't worry," Hermione said slowly. "After what happened last time, Ezreal has decided not to let any professors join."
"So he won't have a chance," Hermione said, raising an eyebrow. "Of course, if Professor Hamilton wanted to join—it's not impossible."
"Speaking of which—" Ron muttered as if he had just thought of something, "Has Professor Hamilton never participated in any of your activities?"
"Professor Hamilton apparently fainted on that one occasion."
Hermione's face immediately darkened at those words. She glared at Ron and said, "It's class time! You should be paying attention!"
"cut!"
Not only Harry and his two friends, but many students in the classroom also noticed Sterberg's figure, including some of Beauxbatons' students.
Emma lowered her voice and said, "That German guy must be crazy."
"How could you doubt Professor Hamilton?"
"Maybe they just wanted to hear about magic arrays," Hibiscus said with a shrug. "After all, magic arrays are quite interesting, aren't they?"
"And this is a course unique to Hogwarts."
Upon hearing this, Emma seemed to realize something, and she chuckled softly, saying, "Yes—I was overthinking it, hahaha."
Fleur, who was already somewhat used to her occasional outbursts about Professor Hamilton, shrugged and then turned her attention back to Loila.
Putting everything else aside, Professor Hamilton, even when he's a little nervous, is quite adorable.
How terrifying!
He just kept staring at me! Loila stood on the podium, feeling a little flustered, and glanced down at her textbook.
She never expected that Mr. Stöger would come directly to her class, and—and look at her so seriously.
Did I come here to listen to the magic spell? Or have I already—already revealed something?
Loila pursed her lips, a little worried, and then lowered her head to continue reading her textbook.
Fortunately, the storytelling part ended not long afterward, and it was time for the students to practice. Seeing Mr. Steinberg also lower his head and start practicing, Loira's worries lessened considerably.
So Mr. Steinberg really just came to learn about magic circles—then you'd better listen carefully—and don't keep staring at me like that—
As Loila thought this, she stepped down from the podium and walked among the students, helping them modify the magic circles they were drawing.
The magic circle class has been running for over a year now, and most of the students in this batch have already developed the ability to draw magic circles on their own. Although some still make mistakes, most of them are quite proficient.
Of course, this only applies to the simplest magic circle.
It's a pity. If there were really a few geniuses, the details of the third match wouldn't have been so complicated for me.
With two months to go before the third match, Loila has only completed the most basic part.
Actually, Dumbledore is also to blame—he never helped Royla solve her magic problem, which prevented the work from starting.
Has he forgotten? What's wrong with this old man?!
Thinking this, Loila inadvertently walked past Steinberger, and then she heard Steinberger's voice.
"Please wait a moment, Professor Hamilton."
"Huh?!" Loila took a few steps back in fright, but when she saw his brown eyes, she didn't dare to pretend she hadn't heard him.
So she bit her lip and walked over: "Is there...is there something you need?"
"Here," Steinberg pointed to the notebook in front of him, "this place about the magic circle—"
"ah----"
It's a magic circle—Loira breathed a slight sigh of relief. She was very worried that Mr. Steinberger would suddenly say something like, "Miss, you wouldn't want everyone to know that you're actually the murderer, would you?"
Then I'll have no choice but to get rid of Mr. Steinberg too—that would be terrible.
"If it's just a magic array, then it doesn't matter," Roy said softly, pursing his lips. "There's a problem with the structure here."
"You need to use a little more force—"
"And it's not round enough either—"
"I understand." Stöger nodded knowingly and then lowered his head to attend to his own business.
He seemed to have genuinely only asked about the magic array.
Loila breathed a slight sigh of relief, then walked over to the other students.
"Professor Hamilton, over here!" Every now and then, students would ask for her help.
However, Loila wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that there were more students than before Christmas. There didn't seem to be so many before Christmas. How come the number of students increased after Christmas?
Many of them were Durmstrang students—most of whom hadn't previously shown much interest in magic circles—
Loila tilted her head and thought for a few seconds, but couldn't find the answer for a moment.
Maybe they just suddenly had a breakthrough, right? Perhaps Santa Claus secretly told them that if they learned the magic circle, they would receive a gift?
Loila smiled slightly at this thought, which immediately made several students' eyes widen.
