Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

"Is that someone from the Brandt family?"

Hermione was very concerned about the breath that the other party had just released, but what worries her even more was the relationship between the minister and the other party.

Obviously, the warning contained in that breath meant that the target was not the four "outsiders" of them, but Erich who sat opposite.What is even more surprising is that Erich apparently noticed this warning at the first time, but he just silently accepted it.

"Madam, is Boothbarton okay? Should it be the same? I still remember the Quidditch match between us and Durmstrang, the championship trophy we won, and I still put it on Put it in my office and watch it every day! That may be the most proud of the honors I have received in my life..."

Erich skipped the topic of family and father just now without a trace, and began to talk to Mrs. Maxim.While Maxim was chatting with him, he couldn't help but look at De Quinn beside him, but he couldn't find the time to bring the conversation back to the topic.

Obviously, Erich didn't want to talk about De Quinn-not from the beginning!

However, although Erich didn't want to mention that Maxim was inconvenient to speak so bluntly because of his identity, there are always people who can put aside their scruples.Either it's Hermione, or it's DeQueen herself.

While Hermione was thinking about the identity of the person in the corner, she didn't forget the reason they came here today.Seeing Ms. De Quinn, who was still sitting there with a gloomy face, was in a daze, she thought for a while and couldn't help but proactively said to Erich:

"Mr. Brandt, it would be a little presumptuous, but may I ask you a question?"

"Oh, of course!"

When Erich heard Hermione talking to herself, she temporarily interrupted the memories of her school days, and nodded at her:

"You're welcome, just ask what you want! We can talk about everything except some matters related to the secrets of the Ministry of Magic."

"Thank you," Hermione nodded slightly. "This shouldn't be considered a secret... because I just want to ask if there are any abnormal incidents in the German magic world. You know, France, Norway, Germany... far from the United Kingdom. It’s not far away, and it may be Helbo’s next goal. So even if it’s just a small matter, we should pay attention to it as early as possible to avoid future troubles."

"Well, yes, I would like to express my gratitude to Miss Granger for the wizarding people of our country," Erich said with a smile, "It's just... as far as I know, at least for the time being, I haven't found any noteworthy events. During this period of time, I am also drawing everyone’s attention. If there is a problem, I will report it to me in time."

As to why Hermione suddenly asked about this, not only Erich, but even Mrs. Maxim was puzzled—is she really worried about the situation in Germany?

Only the old butler, just now saw Hermione glance at DeQueen before speaking, he knew that Hermione's next sentence might be what she really wanted to say.

Sure enough, she heard Hermione continue:

"As expected, Mr. Brandt, he must be more considerate than I am. I seem to be a little careless... But, after all, we have just been to Belgium before, and when we think of Helbo, it is very likely that Choosing to start from there to recommend to the European interior, I can't help but want to worry-there can be no second Britain in this world!"

While she was talking, she suddenly changed her words:

"Ah! Speaking of Belgium, it seems we haven't introduced you yet, this one is—"

Yes, Hermione wanted to force the conversation back to Ms. De Quinn.Just now Erich ignored De Quinn. Can't you ignore Hermione again this time?

But what Hermione didn't expect was that Erich really couldn't pretend that he didn't hear it this time, but there was a hint of something in his eyes that made her unintelligible.

What kind of sight is that?

Is it intimidation?No, there is no bitterness and sharpness in the opponent's eyes, only a little...a little helplessness and pleading?

Since the gaze was only fleeting, Hermione could not determine what the deep meaning was in it.But because of this sight, Hermione subconsciously gave up the idea of ​​"introducing" De Quinn for the other party.

"...Well, I mean," Hermione paused for a moment, and unconsciously caught the lady sitting next to Erich from the corner of her eyes. "Yes, this lady-Mr. Brandt, you seem to Haven't introduced us yet!"

"Ah!" Erich reacted immediately and nodded hurriedly, "This is the liaison officer of our International Wizarding Cooperation Department, Miss Eva Fogel-her business ability is very good, and she is trustworthy in our department. A member of ."

Because Erich had just wanted to see the time for him to help push the wooing off. Seeing that the current conversations were mostly small talks by his own minister, Fogel never opened his mouth.

Seeing Erich introduce herself to the other side, she nodded politely:

"Hello, Miss Granger... Minister Brandt, this is really too much praise, I'm just an ordinary liaison officer. My job is too small compared to everyone, and it is not worth mentioning."

If Fogel can be a liaison officer, he is naturally a quick-thinking and observant person.Although there are many things that she is not very clear about, it is obvious that it is not the time to speak for herself at this moment, and she can feel it anyway.

Therefore, after being polite, she immediately closed her mouth again and became her transparent person again.

To be honest, from the moment Erich appeared in the meeting room to meet Hermione and others, the atmosphere of today's conversation has always been subtle.Not only did Erich talk about him, but Mrs. Maxim was also unable to speak out because of the need to represent Boothbatten. Even Hermione was more puzzled and worried because of the strange look in the other's eyes.

As for the old butler... he seems determined to be a calm bystander.

Obviously, in order to help Ms. De Quinn and complete Ms. Maxim's original intention, there is still a flash point needed here to break through the gap between the two sides that is too thin.

It's a pity that the thinner the "barrier", the more obscure it is that people dare not pierce easily.

Erich was obviously restrained by something, and at the same time this was the scruples in Hermione's heart-she was worried that if she did too much, she would harm Erich and Ms. DeQueen.

But who knows, this "burst point" was suddenly detonated by De Quinn himself when everyone was in a stalemate!
