Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

"Hello, Ms. De Quinn...Although it is at this time, it is nice to meet you."

After Mrs. Maxim introduced her on her behalf, Hermione originally wanted to tell her about the current situation and her own thoughts.But when she thought of the old butler's reminder that she could wait and see the changes at first, she hesitated a bit and decided to do what the old butler said.

So, she simply greeted each other.

"Oh, I am glad to meet you too!"

Very standard British English, and with some London accent, Hermione bet that this Ms. De Quinn must have actually lived in the UK for some time.

Of course, whether the other party has been to the UK is obviously not the focus of today's meeting.Hermione just smiled and nodded, and Ms. De Quinn nodded slightly, and then went to exchange a few words with the old housekeeper.

After a while, the four people seated again around the small round table covered with colorful brocade tablecloths. As the host, Ms. De Quinn finally spoke first:

"Unexpectedly, three distinguished guests will visit me in this morning, the two major wizarding schools in Belgium, Busbarton and Hogwarts, as well as the French Blois family with the heritage of ancient wizards. Oh, if the three can inform me in advance Now, I must have someone arrange the highest etiquette before I dare to let everyone in!"

Her words were relaxed, her face was calm, her words were humorous, and she even had a spring-like smile on the corner of her mouth, which was nothing like the sad look in her office before.

However, this vaguely showed her attitude towards the meeting: after the joy of reuniting with Madame Maxim’s old friend, she still remembered her identity after all, and in her role as the Minister of Magic in Belgium, this conversation After all, the curtain has to be pulled down in a more "official" state.

As Hermione just mentioned, this kind of meeting at this "opportunity" will inevitably make people feel a little fanciful.

However, both Hermione and the old butler did not express their opinions on this, but with a brief silence, still handed over the right to speak to Mrs. Maxim.

"De Quinn...ah, sorry, you should be called'Minister De Quinn' now..."

Although Madam Maxim’s body is filled with the blood of some giants, her wisdom is no less than that of most people. Otherwise, she would not be able to firmly grasp Booth in the eyes of many discriminations and doubts. The position of Principal Patton.

With this opening, she consciously mixed her personal friendship with De Quinn into the conversation again.And she said it the other way around, so DeQueen didn't even know if he should have smiled reluctantly, or simply called Maxim's heart to correct it.

Yes, although she and De Quinn are indeed teachers and friends, both parties now bear many responsibilities.

Or why are they always connected only by personal letters over the years?It is because they both understand that both parties are the kind of people who are willing to do everything for their duties.Once the friendship between the two involves work, this rare friendship will definitely no longer be so pure.

Maxim didn't stop, then he smiled and said:

"Just kidding! You can see, we didn’t come here with much fanfare, just to make this meeting look less formal. We are friends, are we? You know, we are friends. In fact, I know you must have been every day recently. It’s been a difficult life...everyone can see the danger of this disaster, and no one can hide the state of everyone."

After all, the two are friends. As Mrs. Maxim said, she gradually put aside the somewhat aggressive momentum before.In her words, she gradually became more sincere.

"I know your difficulties, and I think you should also know our problems." She paused, and then continued, "Look, the fact that Blois was destroyed overnight by Helbo is almost gone. Everyone knows it, and we at Boothbarton have to keep quiet to avoid getting fired... and although the news has not spread, in fact, Hogwarts Castle has also been on the side of Helbo and Mr. McLean. It was destroyed in a fierce battle"

"what!"

This news is undoubtedly a huge shock for De Quinn.

You know, at present, almost all forces are watching Maca and Helbo fight back and forth, and everyone is looking forward to Maca's victory.But who knows that Maca, who was born in Hogwarts, also failed to keep his roots under Helbo's hands.

Hmm...no, think about it, is this a failure that should be called Maca?Or should it be said that he is sufficiently predictable?

The decision to arrange for all the teachers and students of Hogwarts to leave in advance made Helbo only an empty shell.

In fact, Mrs. Maxim's announcement of this "smashing" news naturally had its purpose.

Today, too many people rely on Maca, but Maca cannot protect everyone alone.At the moment, most of these forces are just silently watching, which is actually very dangerous!She had to shake the big guys drastically so that they could unite and try their best to resist the huge crisis that might be coming.

After De Quinn slowed down a bit and recovered from his surprise at the destruction of Hogwarts Castle, Maxim continued:

"De Quinn, tell you the truth! We are here this time, in fact, we are here to form a rebellion alliance composed of multiple forces. I don’t need to tell who is it? I just want you to understand. Wait, this is not originally a battle on the side of the British magical world, let alone Mr. McLean's war alone!"

When Mrs. Maxim said this, Hermione couldn't help feeling deeply, and subconsciously wanted to say something.But at this moment, the old butler next to her motioned her with his eyes, apparently telling her not to interrupt at this time.

"Can you still speak? Mr. Butler's previous meaning, didn't it allow me to see clearly the friendship between Ms. Maxim and Ms. De Quinn?"

Just as Hermione was puzzled, Ms. De Quinn, who had been listening to Maxim's words, finally took a deep breath, and then slowly said:

"Olim, you came to me this time, I'm afraid you are not wanting me to join this'Rebel League', right? Well, at least your biggest purpose is definitely not this."

While she was talking, she suddenly changed the subject, as if she sighed for no reason:

"You should know that Erich and I... haven't seen each other for a long time."
