harry potter book of crimes

Hermione finally understood that Madam Maxime was not here to join Ms. Radquin this time. She simply wanted to use her relationship with the German Minister of Magic to win over the latter.

However, Hermione did not have much resentment towards Madam Maxime's approach. Because she also saw that while Madam Maxime was trying to introduce powerful allies to the Resistance Alliance, she also obviously sincerely hoped to

To help his friend solve this "stubborn illness" that has been lingering for many years.

To be honest, after gradually learning about Ms. DeQuin's sad emotional past through the conversation between the two, even Hermione, who had nothing to do with it, wanted to help her.

"Olim, there will be no results between me and him. So, you better not get involved in this matter... I'm sorry, I know you want to start from me and draw Erich into your alliance, but

I really can’t do it!”

Seeing Ms. DeQuin's eyes flashing slightly when she said this, Hermione, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't help but say:

"Ms. De Guin, although I am completely an 'outsider' on this matter, I still have to say that we can give in and wait on this matter, but we must not give up completely."

"What's more, according to what you just said, I think you have never been able to talk to the other party in person, right? If you don't even know what the other party is thinking, it would be really good to just let go unilaterally like this.

Go and have a chat with him! It won’t be too late for you to make a decision when you truly understand the other person’s thoughts.”

Having said this, Hermione paused for a moment, and without waiting for the other party to answer anything, she finally added:

"By the way, if the other person actually still wants to be with you, or even still fights against certain people or things for you, I am willing to do my best to give you some help... Well, maybe my personal

My power is limited, and at the same time, I cannot make any promises to you on behalf of Hogwarts on such a personal matter."

"...But, if there are any disapproving voices in the other family's family, I can definitely ask Maka for you. After he comes back from doing the work, I will ask him to come forward and help you!"

Hermione is kind, and she can even fight for the injustice suffered by the house elves even when they don't mind it. Such incomplete love that touches her deeply will naturally make it easier to inspire her sympathy.

Reasonable.

And it has to be said that Hermione's promise is not a promise, but it is also full of weight because of Maka's influence and status in the entire European magic world.

"Believe me," Hermione said sincerely, "if Maka hears about this matter of yours, he will definitely be willing to help."

"this"

It was obvious that Ms. De Guin was shaken. She looked at Hermione, as if she didn't know what to say for a moment, and could only open her mouth half-open in a daze.

As Hermione said, she has not even asked Erich a word in person until now. Of course, he is unwilling to do so. It's just that as he gets older, his status and responsibilities increase a little bit.

, many times in fact, we have gradually become unable to control ourselves.

She would be worried about the rumors, not for herself, but for her family; she would be even more worried about the pressure Erich was facing, so she never dared to take the initiative to find him; she would also be worried about the Belgian Ministry of Magic.

So many employees are worried that every move they make will actually have various impacts on them.

Even the threat from Erich's uncle back then was now present. The more contact she had with the upper class of the magical world, the more she was able to understand how much power ancient wizarding families like the Brandt family had.

Worry, restraint, fear... everything seemed to remind her all the time that she should give up this unrealistic old relationship as soon as possible! When she was young and vigorous, she didn't dare to act recklessly, what else does she have now?

How can I ignore all these concerns?

But...but...but...

"Miss Granger, is what you said... true? Can you really invite Mr. MacLean?"

When hearing Ms. DeQuin say these words, Mrs. Maxim on the side couldn't help but smile a little gratefully at Hermione. DeQuin was one of her few real friends who could truly

Helping each other is undoubtedly a happy thing for her.

"Yes," Hermione nodded vigorously towards DeQuin, "Although Maka still has some things to do, I'm afraid she won't be able to arrive in time, but even if it may be a little later, I can still assure you of this.

.”

"Of course! Of course!" DeQuin said hurriedly, "Mr. MacLean is so busy, I shouldn't have troubled him to come forward for such a trivial matter as mine... It's already a big favor for him to help. How can I

You may also need some time."

What kind of wizard can a large pure-blood family not dare to offend? To be honest, there are quite a few if you calculate carefully.

The Brandt family is a famous family in Europe, and it is also a family that insists on being proud of pure blood. Its heritage and status are actually higher than that of the Black family, where Sirius belongs, and it is also the oldest family in Germany.

The most powerful wizard family.

But in the final analysis, it still has some gaps with top European families like the Blois family.

In fact, here today, except for Madame Maxime who cannot easily use Beauxbatons' public resources in her personal capacity, the old housekeeper and Hermione...or Mr. Blois and Maka can all use their own identities.

Overpowering the Brandt family.

Even though the Blois Castle was destroyed overnight by Herbo, the power of the Blois family is still there! How many people in Europe can ignore its existence?

And when it comes to Maca

"Ms. De Guin, let me tell you, why don't you come with us next time! After going to the Netherlands, our next stop will be Germany. By then, Mr. MacLean may not need to come forward in person.

This problem can be solved. With Mr. Butler here and Miss Granger representing Mr. MacLean, as long as Erich is willing, no one can separate you two!"

When Ms. De Guin heard this, she couldn't help but look towards the old housekeeper. When she saw the old housekeeper smiling and nodding kindly, she finally nodded.

In a blink of an eye, the tears in her eyes streaked down her cheeks, making her blush slightly and wipe them carelessly with her sleeves.

"You! You still haven't changed," Maxim sighed, "You've always been the crybaby you used to be."
