harry potter book of crimes

Sandrina is a maid working at Chateau Blois.

To be honest, as a squib, it is not only difficult to receive normal wizard education in the magical world, but it is also very difficult to find a job that can survive.

Therefore, she, who had nothing to do with the Blois family, was able to be taken in to work here as a maid by some chance, which was undoubtedly a great kindness to her.

And perhaps it is out of this gratitude to the Blois family that young Sandrina works diligently every day. She is usually the first to get up in the morning, and she often sleeps better than most maids at night.

later.

For example, these nights, no matter how late Maka and the three of them come back, they can still see her and the old housekeeper, one in the corridor and the other waiting silently in the hall.

Of course it's the same tonight.

Kingsley had already returned before, and when he passed the only way connecting the hall and the stairs, Sandrina stayed there and asked softly as usual if she needed a midnight snack. Even though Maka and the others were late at night

She usually doesn't know how to eat, but she still asks her thoughtfully every night.

As for now... more than two hours have passed since Kingsley came back, and the time has entered the middle of the night. To be honest, Sandrina is already very sleepy. Just standing there, her eyelids can't help but wander.

Fall down.

But she still stood there with her head slightly lowered, maintaining the posture that a maid should have, almost not out of shape at all.

"Sandrina?"

Suddenly, a voice sounded not far in front of her, causing her whole body to tremble slightly as she happened to be dozing off.

The next moment, she quickly raised her head to take a look, and then immediately leaned over and lowered her head and said:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Butler, I..."

"No, no, there's nothing to apologize for," the old housekeeper who came to see her waved her hand gently, "Sandrina, if you feel sleepy, go to bed first! After all, even if you stay here all the time, when Mr. McLean comes back,

You may not be able to see it either.”

"How... is this possible?" Sandrina shook her head and said, "Mr. Butler, you also said that Mr. McLean is the most distinguished guest of our Blois family, so even if he is likely to miss it, he will miss it today.

It’s too late to come back, what if I get hungry by chance? It’s better for me to stay here!”

"Well," the old housekeeper touched the white beard on his upper lip, thought for a while and then said, "Then you can take half a day off tomorrow morning! Get a good sleep... This is not only for your body, but also for being better.

work.”

After saying this, the old housekeeper immediately turned around and left.

Behind him, Sandrina looked at the housekeeper who was slowly leaving, and couldn't help but pursed her lips. Didn't Mr. Housekeeper stay until so late? The old housekeeper is getting older now, and perhaps he is the one who needs the most rest.

You are right.

Just as Sandrina was thinking this in her mind, the old housekeeper who had just walked back to the side door of the hall suddenly leaned towards a certain direction in the hall and gave a salute.

Then, I heard the old housekeeper say:

"Welcome back, both of you...Oh, Mr. Shacklebolt has gone back to his room to rest."

As soon as he said this, the old housekeeper suddenly seemed to remember something, turned his head hurriedly, and waved his hand towards Sandrina.

When the smart Sandrina saw it, she quickly stepped forward knowingly, then stood behind the old housekeeper and looked towards the hall outside. After that, she saw that she also followed the old housekeeper and bent down to salute.

"Boy, welcome back. Do you need a midnight snack or a bath?"

Currently outside, it is Macca and Delphi who have just returned from the royal manor. While Sandrina was speaking, the old housekeeper had quietly retreated to the side and looked at Sandrina politely with a smile.

Ask Maka what you need.

"Oh! I really want to take a bath, but there are still a lot of things to do, so let's forget about it today!" Maka looked at Sandrina, shrugged and said, "Speaking of which, you look much more tired than me.

Otherwise, why don't you go to the bathroom and take a dip in the bathroom to relieve your fatigue?"

From Sandrina's point of view, Mr. McLean seemed to be really busy. After making a little joke with herself, the other party took the extraordinarily beautiful "female companion" and left her and the old housekeeper.

He passed and walked away to the other end of the corridor.

"Fortunately, Mr. McLean is not too late tonight... Sandrina, go to bed! Remember to take a rest tomorrow morning, got it?" At this point, the old housekeeper added as if to suggest:

"By the way, I think Mr. MacLean is right. You should take a bath before going to sleep. It will be quite helpful for sleeping."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old housekeeper nodded to Sandrina and then turned back again.

Sandrina, who had just been persuaded by two people to take a shower, hesitated for a moment, as if she actually wanted to take a dip in the bathroom and relax. After hesitation, she walked towards the bathroom with a gentle step.

…

"Waiting until so late?"

Maka, who had just left there, suddenly nodded slightly with emotion and muttered to himself. After Delphi heard this, she couldn't help but explain further to Maka:

"She is here every night. Dad, you always walk out of the hall when you come back, so you rarely see her, right?"

"Every day?" Maka nodded when she heard this, "That's really not easy... Well, I'm starting to feel that it's really not good to come back too late."

Even so, he just said that. Even if he didn't want to do some things, he couldn't just put them down easily.

"Delphi, you don't have to follow me, just go and rest!"

When passing the stairs going upstairs, Maca paused for a moment and watched Delphi go upstairs. When she could no longer see him, she turned around and continued walking towards the tower where she lived.

"Ah... let's continue studying the Devouring Mirror!"

The pile of unfinished things is still as high as a mountain. Regardless of whether others sleep or not, Maka will probably have to work all night again today.

"Oh, I seemed to sleep quite soundly."

When passing by the second floor where Enns was, Maka looked at the other person's room and couldn't help but chuckle and nodded. Then, he went up the stairs and re-entered the room where he had been staring at the Devouring Mirror in a daze.

Go to the room.

At about the same time, Sandrina had already packed up her clothes and walked into the bathroom dedicated to the servants. The bathtub, which was almost no smaller than the master bathroom, and all kinds of complete supplies and facilities, showed that the Blois family attached great importance to their family.

Preferential treatment for servants.
