For Belgium, the threat is almost at hand.

Facing the fog on the other side of the strait, De Quinn has been helpless lately, and even has no mood to mention many of the magic school affairs that he usually talks about.

It must be said that as a Minister of Magic, her ability is still very good. Since the end of the chaotic era caused by Grinwald, the previous Ministers of Magic in Belgium have basically been more than conservative but not enough.After so many years, I barely recovered from the lowest state...Of course, it was only "some".

But after taking office, De Quinn not only built up a school of wizards, but also brought in investment from many forces.The lively street scene that Hermione had felt before was absolutely invisible before her succession.

It can be said that Belgium has a vaguely re-prosperous trend in recent years.

However, although De Quinn is good at internal governance, he is not good at dealing with external crises.Especially... this is actually the catastrophe of the ancient dark wizards resurrecting and chaos.

Even if she still has some "means" that are not very visible, it is impossible to deal with the attack of the mist and the army of living corpses.Not to mention, there was a cold-blooded and cruel "Despicable Helbo" standing behind him.

"Tuk Tuk."

Suddenly, two familiar knocks came from the door—her secretary came.

"Please come in."

Before the voice was over, the door of the office was opened immediately, and a young woman in a black dress walked in from the outside and stood still at the door.

"Minister, Mrs. Olim Maxim, the principal of Boothbarton, is here. She is waiting for you in the reception room now."

"Mrs. Maxim?"

De Quinn pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and after pursing his lips for a moment, he finally nodded.

"I see, ask her to wait for the film... No, I'll go now! You wait outside first, I'll come out immediately."

After hearing this, the young secretary didn't say anything more, but withdrew out of the way with a lot of foresight.Without DeQueen reminding, she immediately closed the door.

Watching the secretary leave the office, De Quinn picked up the wand placed by the table and pointed it at a cabinet door behind him.The next moment, accompanied by a sudden movement of the lock, the cabinet door opened automatically, and a golden key floated out of it.

De Quinn probed his hand slightly and grabbed the key in his hand.

Immediately afterwards, she saw that she just pushed the door of the cabinet up, and then walked directly to the door-the magic cabinet with the lock obviously contained only such a key, and nothing else.

"Let's go!"

Opening the door, De Quinn greeted the secretary, and then went to the reception room first.

...

Hermione was sitting on a comfortable sofa chair, and the old butler was sitting next to her. After the two came here and took their seats, they didn’t say anything, but each admired the reception room. Decoration in tapestry.

Belgian tapestries are quite famous. In the past, many big families from other countries would send people to buy them and then take them back to decorate their castles and manors.

As for Mrs. Maxim... No matter how she usually refuses to admit her blood, at this time, her extraordinarily tall figure becomes more and more obvious.She definitely couldn't sit on the single sofa chair that Hermione and the old butler sat on. Fortunately, the Ministry staff who was in charge of entertaining them got a two-seater sofa in advance, which saved Mrs. Maxime from asking for a chair change on the spot. Embarrassing situation.

"Three, please use tea... The minister will be here soon. But before that, please take a rest to relieve the fatigue that comes along the way."

Boothbarton’s rune carriage flies steadily and at high speed, so naturally there will be no so-called "fatigue", and if you choose the Phantom Shifting Curse, you don’t need to rest.But even if it's just a polite remark, it can express the other party's thoughtful care very well, of course it is very comfortable to hear.

However, except for the old butler, who had the most calm mind, both Hermione and Mrs. Maxim were obviously somewhat absent-minded.They only slightly nodded to express their gratitude, but they were all thinking about their own affairs.

"Harry and the others don't know if there is any danger," Hermione muttered to herself.

Although most of the reconnaissance operations are planned by her, worry is still indispensable.If it wasn't for her to have her own tasks to complete, in fact she would rather be able to replace Harry and others and go back to the UK to find out in person.

And while Hermione was secretly worried, a sound of footsteps rang out in the corridor.Soon, Hermione could only hear a knock on the door, and a figure pushed in.

"Is this Ms. De Quinn?"

In fact, at first glance, you can see that De Quinn is obviously no longer young, and the ruthless years have carved many marks on her face.But even so, everyone can still see the beauty of her once.

Hermione was thinking when she saw Mrs. Maxim stood up and greeted him.

"De Quinn, it's been a long time... I remember that after you graduated, we met a lot less often. The last time I saw you, it seemed to be at the wedding dinner of your youngest sister, Millie Jelle..."

Mrs. Maxim showed great enthusiasm. After all, she used to be De Quinn’s assistant professor when he was in Busbarton.

At that time Maxim was actually still very young, and De Quinn was not only excellent academically, but also very kind to others during his student years, and he never resisted Maxim's "huge" figure.

Therefore, even after graduation, the two have their own pursuits and achievements, and they often communicate with each other to maintain communication between friends.

However, perhaps because of this pure friendship, even if De Quinn himself encountered something difficult to deal with, he never wanted to trouble the other party. At the same time, Mrs. Maxim had basically the same idea.

But this time, in the face of a huge disaster, it is obviously impossible to fight alone.

So Mrs. Maxim thought of the most trustworthy friend in her heart-even if the two hadn't seen each other directly for a long time, but she knew that De Quinn must be reliable.

Of course, there is actually a more important reason why Maxim came to her first.

"Come on, De Quinn, let me introduce to you--" Madame Maxim suddenly gestured to the old butler and Hermione, "I think you must know this, the butler of the French Blois family. Sir, you can often see him on many important occasions; and this one is currently Miss Hermione Granger from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry... You should know that she represents that today Mr. Maca McLean is here."
