Regarding the current situation in Europe, Mr. Butler, Mr. Blois and Madame Maxime talked until noon.

Seeing that it was time for dinner, Mrs. Maxim invited everyone to join today's lunch.

It must be said that the luncheon at Beauxbatons was quite sumptuous. The French food was exquisite and delicious. Just tasting it made everyone relax a lot.

People often say "bread is the pillar of life." Perhaps only at the dinner table can people temporarily forget the misfortune and sadness around them.

"Hermione, try this, slugs in shells actually taste so delicious!"

In the side hall of the castle, everyone was dining at the same table with the teachers and students of Beauxbatons. Ron seemed particularly interested in the food here. After all, the food supply on the island needs to be restrained during this period, so he did not eat much.

Somewhat adequate.

"Um."

Hermione on the side was obviously a little distracted. When she heard Ron speak, she subconsciously responded. It wasn't until Ron put a few snails on her plate that she hurriedly pulled out her wand and "dinged" them all.

It was thrown onto Harry's plate not far away with a clanking sound.

"Oh... forget it, you guys eat slowly."

After saying that, she put the fork on the plate and wiped her mouth to end the lunch.

"Have you finished eating now? It seems to me that you haven't eaten much, right?"

Hearing Ginny sitting next to her ask this question with some worry, Hermione was just about to say that she was fine, but unexpectedly, a pleasant voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Mr. Potter? Miss Granger? Oh, and..."

Seeing someone calling her name, Hermione hurriedly looked back and found a beautiful and innocent little girl standing behind her.

Although time has passed a bit, it is still hard for people to forget such a cute girl like Ke.

"Miss Della...Cool?"

Yes, this is the same Veela mixed-blood Delacour that we saw in the Triwizard Tournament. However, it is not Fleur Delacour who competed at that time, but her sister, the little beauty Gabri.

"Yes," Gabri looked at Hermione and showed a sweet smile, "I'm so glad to see you again! My sister sent me a letter a few days ago, saying that she has been worried about you.

Yes... you know, I heard that it's very unsafe outside. Although the professors don't say it, the newspapers are full of all kinds of very scary incidents."

"Oh, we're glad to see you too."

Hermione quickly stood up and hugged her gently.

"Indeed, it is very dangerous outside, and we even lost our hometown. But it doesn't matter, everyone is working hard, especially Maka... Well, you should still remember him, right?"

"Of course," Gabrielle nodded. "My sister often mentions him in her letters! If she hadn't been too busy at work, she would have gone to see Mr. MacLean long ago..."

Hermione and Gabrielle chatted happily there, and even pulled Gabrielle to sit down again, allowing other friends to say hello to each other.

But they didn't notice that a masked girl sitting a little further away was eavesdropping with her ears straightened.

"Then MacLean is really popular... It sounds like Gabriel Delacour's sister is also interested in him? Hmm... Looking at the little girl's appearance, her sister must not be much different.

go……"

After muttering like this, she suddenly shook her head and said secretly:

"No, if this continues, Ursula's chances may be slim... I have to do something."

Thinking of this, she simply put down the tableware, put back the lower half of the mask that she had taken off during the meal, and then stood up.

This time, a Beauxbatons student sitting next to her was startled.

…

Putting aside Safina's rather inappropriate little thoughts, on the other side of the faculty bench, the old housekeeper did not even miss the meal time, and was still making every possible effort to communicate with Madame Maxime and some Beauxbatons professors.

Chatting about some topics about the external situation.

During the days spent on the island, they were almost isolated from the outside world. To this day, they have missed a lot of intelligence information.

However, as he patiently looked for opportunities to learn more, he had already obtained a lot of valuable information.

For example...

"Madame Maxime, Mr. Blois, we have just received the latest news about the British side. It is said that not long ago, several alchemical research laboratories have detected several huge signs of magic through alchemical instruments.

, those alchemists believe that a fierce battle may have just occurred in the direction of London, England."

"London?"

When Mrs. Maxim heard this, she frowned immediately.

"Did Haierbo go back there again?"

But the old housekeeper didn't seem to be too surprised by this. He nodded slightly and said:

"Helbo always has to set up a stronghold, right? As for the battle... Before lunch, Miss Granger said that she went to see the young lady at the Geofein family and learned something. According to Miss Geofin

As I said, Mr. MacLean should have returned to England."

Hearing what the old housekeeper said, several professors, including Maxim, couldn't help but think thoughtfully:

"So, is it really Mr. McClain who is fighting with Haierbo again?"

Everyone sincerely admired Maka for being able to easily enter the fog to find trouble with Haierbo. It was others, but now they didn't even dare to step into the weird gray fog.

Nowadays, many wizards have obviously realized the power of the modern Muggle army. But even if the British army resisted with all their strength, Haierbo still forcibly captured most of the country, and now only a small number of troops are still huddled in the far north.

In the deep mountains, the rest have been forced to withdraw from the country's borders by sea.

The countless army of living corpses is simply terrifying.

"Alas," after thinking secretly for a moment, Mrs. Maxim couldn't help but sigh, "I don't know what's going on with Mr. MacLean... If it weren't for him before, maybe we would have to hide around the world now.

?”

"It's not just us!"

Several Beauxbatons professors also sighed after hearing this.

The old housekeeper looked at everyone's sad faces and immediately realized that this was actually an opportunity, so he hurriedly said:

"Because of this, we must unite as soon as possible, especially in the countries adjacent to the UK. With Haierbo waiting for opportunities on one side, we may not even be able to sleep peacefully!"

Indeed, with his identity as a member of the Blois family in front of them, it was difficult for everyone not to be convinced by his words.
