harry potter book of crimes

For Belgium, the threat is almost within reach.

Facing the fog on the other side of the strait, DeQuin has been at a loss what to do recently, and he is not even in the mood to mention many of the magic school matters that he usually talks about.

It must be said that as a Minister of Magic, she is still very capable in terms of abilities. Since the end of the chaotic era caused by Grindelwald, Belgium's previous Ministers of Magic have basically been more than conservative and insufficient in advancement. After so many years

, barely recovered from the most depressed state... Of course, it's just "some".

But after Dequin took office, he not only built a wizarding school while cutting costs, but also used it to attract investment from many powerful forces. The bustling street scene that Hermione experienced before was definitely not seen before he took over.

It can be said that Belgium has a tendency to become prosperous again in recent years.

However, although De Kuin is good at internal governance, he is not good at dealing with external crises. Especially...this is actually a catastrophe when the ancient dark wizards resurrect and cause chaos.

Even if she still has some "means" that are not seen in the light, it is impossible to deal with the onslaught of the fog and the zombie army. Not to mention, there is a cold-blooded and cruel "despicable" standing behind her.

"Herbo".

"Tuk-tuk."

Suddenly, there were two familiar knocks at the door. It was her secretary coming.

"Please come in."

Before he finished speaking, the door of the office was opened immediately, and a young woman wearing a black formal suit walked in from the outside and stood still for a moment at the door.

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

"Madame Maxime?"

DeQuin pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose, pursed his lips and thought about it for a moment, then finally nodded.

"I understand, ask her to wait for a moment... No, I'd better go there right now! You wait outside for a moment, I'll be out soon."

After hearing this, the young secretary didn't say anything more, but walked out with great discernment. Without De Guin's reminder, she immediately closed the door.

Watching the secretary leave the office, Dequin picked up the wand placed on the table and pointed lightly at a cabinet door behind him. The next moment, with a sound of the lock popping open, the cabinet door automatically

Opening it, a golden key floated out from inside.

DeQuin briefly reached out and grabbed the key.

Immediately afterwards, I saw that she just pushed the cabinet door open, and then walked directly to the door. The locked magic cabinet obviously only contained this key, and nothing else.

"Let's go!"

Opening the door, De Kuin greeted his secretary and then headed to the reception room.

…

Hermione was sitting on a comfortable sofa chair, and the old housekeeper was sitting next to her. After the two of them came here and sat down, they didn't say anything else. They just admired the reception room.

Tapestry decoration in.

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 Madame Maxime... no matter how she usually refuses to admit her bloodline, at this time, her extraordinarily tall figure becomes more and more obvious. She is the single sofa chair that Hermione and the old housekeeper sit on.

There was definitely no room for them to sit down, but fortunately, the staff of the Ministry of Magic who were responsible for entertaining them had brought a double sofa in advance, which saved Madame Maxime from the embarrassing situation of asking to change chairs on the spot.

"You three, please have some tea... The minister will be here soon. But before that, please take a short rest to relieve the fatigue from the long journey."

Beauxbatons' rune horse and carriage flies smoothly and at high speed, so naturally it won't produce any so-called "fatigue". And if you choose the Apparition spell, you don't need to rest. But even if it's just a polite word,

It can express the other party's thoughtful care very well, and it is certainly very comfortable to hear.

However, except for the most calm-minded old housekeeper, Hermione and Madame Maxime were obviously somewhat absent-minded. They just nodded slightly to express their gratitude, but they were all thinking about their own things in their hearts.

"Harry and the others don't know if they are in any danger." Hermione muttered to herself.

Although most of the reconnaissance operations were planned by her, she still had to worry. If she didn't have her own tasks to complete, she would actually like to replace Harry and others and return to England to find out in person.

And just as Hermione was secretly worried, footsteps sounded in the corridor outside. Soon, Hermione only heard a slight knock on the door, and then a figure pushed the door open and entered.

"Is this Ms. DeQuin?"

In fact, at first glance, it can be discovered that De Guin is obviously no longer young, and the ruthless years have carved many marks on her face. But even so, everyone can still see her former beauty.

Just as Hermione was thinking about it, she saw Madame Maxime stand up and move toward her.

"Dequin, long time no see... I remember that after you graduated, we met much less frequently. The last time I saw you, it seemed, it was at the wedding dinner of your youngest sister Miliele..."

Madame Maxime was very enthusiastic. After all, she had been De Guin's assistant professor when he was a student at Beauxbatons.

Maxim was actually still very young at that time, and De Guin was not only excellent academically but also very kind to others during his student days, and never had any objection to Maxim's "huge" figure.

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

However, perhaps it is precisely because of this pure friendship that even if De Guin encounters something difficult to handle, he never wants to trouble the other party. At the same time, Madame Maxime basically has the same idea.

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

Therefore, Madame Maxime first thought of this most trustworthy friend in her heart. Even though they had not met directly for a long time, she knew that De Guin must be reliable.

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

"Come on, Dequin, let me introduce you." Mrs. Maxim suddenly gestured towards the old housekeeper and Hermione, "I think you must know this man, the housekeeper of the Blois family in France.

He can often be seen on many important occasions; and this one is currently Miss Hermione Granger of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry... You should know that today, she represents the Maka

Mr. MacLean is here."
