The kitten hadn't eaten yet, so how could he have time to chat with a group from the Ministry of Magic?
And... she herself was hungry too.
She hadn't slept well, so naturally, she didn't have much appetite for food.
So, upon arriving at the Great Hall, the two of them immediately began to eat as if seeking revenge.
"Minerva, why do you (chew chew chew) eat like me?"
"Shut your mouth. Don't talk (chew chew chew) while eating."
Karl: (⊙.⊙)
Huh? How can I eat with my mouth shut?
And you're talking too!
Just then, a flurry of flapping sounds began, and several owl postmen appeared.
"Hoo hoo~"
One of them, after dropping off its package, didn't leave immediately. Instead, it landed on Karl's shoulder and affectionately rubbed its head against him.
"It's you, Mitchell~"
Karl held it in his arms and scratched it. "You worked hard! I'll treat you all to meat later! As much as you want!"
"Hoo hoo~"
After some interaction, Mitchell spread its wings and flew out of the Great Hall, presumably returning to the owlery to share the good news with its companions.
Meanwhile, Karl focused his attention on the delivered package. "Minerva, what did you buy?"
"Your textbooks and school supplies for next semester. I bought them on my way to the Ministry of Magic."
"That's not right, is it? Why are there so many?"
Karl scratched his head in confusion. During the Easter course selection, he had only filled out Care of Magical Creatures and Ancient Runes.
But looking at the number of textbooks, it seemed as if he had selected all of them.
Professor McGonagall gave him a sidelong glance. "So you know you didn't choose many courses!"
"Well, there's a reason for all of it. Alchemy can only be registered for in sixth or seventh year, and for Muggle Studies Class, I could go and be a Professor myself. As for Divination and Arithmancy, what decent person goes to those—except Nina."
Nina had chosen one more course than Karl, Divination, as it was professionally relevant for her as a Druid.
"Alright, I suppose you have a point."
Professor McGonagall's lips curved into a smile; after all, she didn't like Divination either. Her kitten truly took after her.
Karl opened the package and rummaged through it, then was surprised to find that besides the normal textbooks, there were also many strange books.
For example, 'Break with a Banshee,' 'Voyages with Vampires,' they were all Gilderoy Lockhart's books.
Was this guy here to teach students, or to promote and sell his books?
It truly makes one envious and jealous... Bah! It truly makes one despise and disdain him!
But why did Dumbledore still bring this guy in to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts Class Professor next year?
Lord Voldemort has already been caught, so do they still need to worry about the curse? It would be much better to just let that old man Grindelwald take over!
Seeing Karl's speechless expression, Professor McGonagall was a little curious. "What's wrong? You don't seem to like Lockhart."
Had Lockhart's absurd behavior from back then already reached the young Wizards?
"There's a bit of that. This guy is actually bringing in his own stuff, using the opportunity of being a Professor to boost sales for his books."
Karl slammed his hand on the table, his voice agitated. "No! How can Hogwarts be run well with a worm like this around?"
"I'm going to lay out the stakes for Dumbledore!"
