McGonagallfork v1.4

Dumbledore was dead, leaving control to pass to his deputy, McGongagall. She understood that maintaining continuity was key: the school was used to him and the way he had led it, so she had little choice but to continue in his footsteps. While she had not spent as much time building contacts outside the school as he had done; her powers as an animagus had led her to learn a lot of information that could prove useful. And besides, should the school really need Dumbledore back, well, she was the professor of transfiguration , after all.
