Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 548
Under normal circumstances, Maca is actually a thick-skinned guy.Regarding the condensed eyes from the surroundings, he didn't show any concern, and walked directly to the main entrance of Boothbaton Castle leisurely.
And the one who got out of the car behind him was of course Miss Vannie Blois, the housekeeper.
Vannie’s unique family gown is easy to distinguish, because it has exquisite silk embroidery that is transformed from the Blois family coat of arms, which can be seen clearly from far away.
As a result, the wizards in the vestibule garden immediately turned their eyes to Vannie, who was following in the footsteps of Maca. Among them, there were also powers in the magical world of France, and so did wizards from other countries.
The Blois family is the leading wizarding family in France. The power of a family alone is already able to stand at the highest level in the global magic world.A wizard family like this, both at home and abroad, will treat it with care.
It's not that there is no more powerful force than the Blois family, but if they have developed such a large force like this, no one is willing to have unnecessary disputes with other top forces.Whether it's blatantly or in secret, or you come and go in secret, it will create varying degrees of burden on the daily operation of the forces.
It's just that when they saw the Blois family following behind Namaca McLean like a follower, many people suddenly murmured in their hearts.
How did the two get together?Is the situation a bit bad?
It is usually not surprising that cliques are formed in power disputes. It can be said: Behind every power that has gradually become larger, it has experienced this choice more or less.They are either active or passive, and they may even have some conspiracies and tricks to drive the wolf away. The prosperity and the decline are sometimes only in a single thought.
However, it is very rare for forces at levels like Hogwarts and the Blois family to support each other.
Often, the stronger the foundation, the more cautious it will be, and no one wants to lose the advantage of their predecessors when they are in charge.
What's more, these two powers have both maintained a very low-key style in recent years. Why are they so swaggered together this time?
For a time, many energetic wizards began to use their heads, wondering if they should also cooperate with others or something?At least for this time, there are still a lot of forces gathered in Boothbaton. If you want to get enough benefits from this opportunity, you may still be a little less interesting on your own.
Regardless of other people’s hearts, Maca just walked slowly along the stone path in the middle of the garden, as if ignorant of the various sights, and quickly passed the castle, the main entrance, in the vision of the wizards. Disappeared.
It can be seen that the legacy of Nick Lemay is an undoubtedly huge temptation.Not to mention anything else, just a method of making the Philosopher’s Stone that is most likely to have been recorded is enough to make wizards all over the world salivate.
Everyone understands that if this thing is really made public, it will be a huge waste.Of course, the so-called "waste" is for their respective forces.
Speaking of the Philosopher’s Stone, Maca used it to fool Charlotte’s Witt family. Now Voldemort has really fallen to the ground. When the opponent will suddenly appear in front of him, he can’t say. .
It can be said that the wizards of the Werther family may come to him for the Philosopher's Stone at any time, and it is not impossible even to show up directly in Boothbarton this time.
News of Maca's arrival in Boothbarton spread quickly. Not long after he entered the hall, the tall Madame Maxim came out of the inner door of the hall.
"Mclean, goodbye last time, long time no see."
Madam Maxim is still so extravagant, paying attention to etiquette and manners in her gestures. This is the feeling that Boothbatten School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has always given people.
From the fact that she did not add a title like "Mr." to the end of Maca's surname, it can be seen that the previous experience of getting along with the giant tribe made her no longer treat Maca as a normal guest.
"Good morning, ma'am." Maca smiled politely at the other party. "Before I set off this time, Hagrid asked me to ask you a greeting! If it weren't for he still had to teach the students, I miss him Must have followed today."
"Oh," Mrs. Maxim covered her mouth with a smile, "I will try to find time to go to Hogwarts and harass, I believe it won't make him wait... Remember to ask him to prepare some pure malt whiskey, that is the last time. The brand he got during the three-finals-the rune horses of our school seem to like it!"
"Of course, of course!" Maca nodded again and again, "Hagrid understands the minds of magical creatures very well. It would be right for him to take care of those little guys."
It is one of the necessary abilities to go out and socialize in a public place.Even though these conversations are mostly mediocre, and even often boring unsuspecting observers, they often contain certain messages that both parties want to convey.
As soon as Maca and Mrs. Maxim met, they confirmed their intentions during this gossip.What they are talking about is the alchemy event that will be officially promoted next.
In fact, where this competition will be held is not a fixed number.In theory, apart from Boothbatten's need to avoid suspicion, it's okay to do it anywhere.
But the final decision on the venue is a tripartite force.
The first power is naturally the International Wizarding Federation. This parliamentary organization composed of many national forces is the largest neutral organization in the world of magic, and many recognized laws and regulations are born from this organization;
The second force is Mr. Edward LeMay, the butler of Nick LeMay's house.This old butler, who has been loyal to the Le May family from beginning to end, will serve as the final interpreter of this public inheritance event, and can be said to be the center of the entire event;
As for the last one who could decide the venue for the event, it should have been Albus Dumbledore, Mr. Nick LeMay’s rare good friend during his lifetime.But now, Dumbledore has also passed away...
As a result, this decision right eventually lost its ownership.It is precisely because of this that the major forces have rushed to try to get in here.
Of course, on the bright side, those forces came here under the banner of participating in the event.
Now that Mrs. Maxim mentioned that she was going to be a guest at Hogwarts, she was naturally to inform Maca that she had officially agreed to cooperate with each other.
After reaching a tacit understanding with Mrs. Maxim, Maca then reached out behind him for a gesture.
"This is Miss Vannie Blois, a promising steward of the Blois family." He introduced with a smile, "Miss Blois came with me this time, but there is nothing special— —She has long heard of the beautiful palace of Boothbarton Castle and has always wanted to visit!"
Having said this, Maca paused for a while, but continued: "Oh, yes! On the way here today, she also said that she wanted to go to Hogwarts! If the lady can be with her then Professor McGonagall will be very happy to come here as a guest!"
When Maca uttered these words, Fannie behind him still only had a formulaic smile.Even though she had never said something similar, she was still unmoved, as if she had really mentioned it.
Regarding the professional abilities of this heroic female steward, Maca couldn't help nodding secretly.
"Oh, that sounds pretty good," Mrs. Maxim happily said, "Um... McLean, you must be a little tired from coming from afar, I'll let someone take you to choose a room first! Fleur--"
As she spoke, she turned her head and shouted, and then Maca saw the figure of the acquaintance.
"McLean, please!"
The power of the Veela hybrid is not covered, although somehow it seems to have little effect on Maca, but just by looking at the sight of the males in this hall, the rate of turning back is simply out of the ordinary.
At the invitation of the other party, Maca and Fannie followed.
"Miss Delacour," Maca asked curiously as he walked, "If I remember correctly, you should have graduated, right?"
Furong walked ahead, and when she heard Maca's question, she turned her head and smiled at him.
"Our Bussbarton system is not the same as yours at Hogwarts," she said. "After graduation, if there are students who are willing to continue their studies with a specific professor, they can submit an application for advanced studies. I plan to go further. Learn about pantheonism and get a review position in the French Ministry of Magic."
"Oh, that might sound suitable for you." Maca said suddenly, "I remember, your wand core is your grandmother's hair-to be able to use Veeva's hair as a core, that requires a very sharp heart."
"Do you remember this?" Fleur froze for a moment, and then smiled again, "Is Mr. McLean interested in others?"
When Maca heard this, she shrugged nonchalantly.
"I just have a good memory!"
He avoided the joke lightly.
She probably felt the sense of distance that Maca deliberately kept, but Furong didn't continue chasing and joking.She led the way. After passing a long corridor and a staircase, she quickly led Maca to a door.
"This is the room that the principal prepared for you, but we didn't expect you to bring a lady—" Fleur looked at Vannie, who had been following behind Maca. "Miss Blois, if you don’t If you mind, we still have some spare guest rooms, but that might be a bit small! Look—"
