harry potter book of crimes

Since initially mastering the gravity rule runes, Hermione found that she seemed to have a new perception of everything around her. For example, now, a subtle change in the gravity field suddenly appeared in the corner of the living room, which made her suddenly

Suddenly I realized there was something extra there.

"Is it human?"

Hermione didn't turn her head to look. She just remained vigilant while carefully considering her discovery.

"Well, someone must have sneaked over... After all, dead things usually don't run around on their own."

Of course, since the other party had been staying in that corner that no one noticed since he appeared, and there was no follow-up action, Hermione temporarily suppressed the impulse in her heart to expose the other party. This was the German Ministry of Magic, and there was a

It is obviously not surprising that someone is responsible for secretly protecting the Minister of Magic.

Soon, Hermione returned her attention to Ms. DeQuin and the minister who was stunned in place.

"...Erich."

After looking at each other in silence for a while, Dequin finally spoke first. Although, she had accumulated so many words in her heart that she didn't know where to start.

After hesitating for a long time, she still hesitated and said:

"How are you?"

Although she could somewhat understand DeQuin's mood at this time, after holding it in for so long, only such a useless greeting came out, which made Hermione feel anxious for her.

At the same time, on the other side, Erich seemed to be finally brought back to his senses by her greeting. He looked at Dequin with a complicated expression, paused again, but suddenly looked away.

"Mrs. Maxim, long time no see! Why did you come to Germany today? You should have told me in advance so that I could be prepared to welcome you."

At this moment, Erich seemed to have completely forgotten the existence of Ms. De Guin, and greeted Madame Maxime enthusiastically. That sudden change was the same as when he first saw De Guin.

The difference in the sluggish expressions is so great that one cannot help but think that there is something hidden behind it.

However, Dequin, who could no longer think much, was obviously shocked by the other party's disregard. It could be seen that she was sitting there with blank eyes, and something was happening around her, as if she had already interacted with her.

There is no connection anymore.

"Well," since the other party started talking to him, Maxim naturally couldn't refuse, so he could only say politely to the other party first, "There is no need to welcome him. This is not a very formal exchange and there are no reporters.

There are no members of the federation, it’s just a private meeting!”

"Oh, Mrs. Maxim, you are still so humble and easy-going." Erich politely stretched out his hand to invite, "Stop standing here, please sit down and ask someone to change the tea, and then go prepare for the luncheon! That year

Madam has given me a lot of help in my studies. It is rare to come to Germany now, so I have to treat you well."

As he spoke, he led everyone to sit down again. Although Miss Fogel who came with him also sat down with her, her presence was obviously a bit low. Mrs. Maxim did not

Don't care too much.

"No, there's no need to go to such trouble," the lady waved her hand, and then said, "Come on, I think I have to introduce it to you..."

"Mr. Blois definitely needs no introduction," Erich heard, and immediately rushed to say, "If you don't even know the butler of the Blois family, then my job as Minister of Magic will be in vain! Oh! , I heard that some unfortunate things have happened recently. Please allow me to express my regrets. Mr. Butler, if your family needs any help, please feel free to ask! There are many famous castles with a long history in Germany. If Mr. Castle Master can If you like it, I can even give it away for free!"

Giving away the castle as soon as it is made is not something you can do just by being the Minister of Magic. But if it is given as a private person with the background of the Brandt family, the nature is different.

However, there are many forces in the world who are willing to give things to the Blois family, and Erich is not the least of them.

"You're welcome, Mr. Brandt," the old butler said with a calm smile, "I will convey your kindness to the head of the family. As for this gift, I will not accept it because it is too heavy."

"Oh, really? It's such a pity," Erich shrugged, and then turned to look at Hermione, "On the contrary, this young lady can accompany Madame Maxime and Butler Blois. But I have no impression. Please forgive my ignorance. I don’t know who the lady is.”

"Hermione Granger," Hermione nodded slightly in greeting, "is just a current student at Hogwarts. It's only right that Mr. Brandt doesn't know him... Well, this time it was supposed to be Maclean himself. He came to visit, but he was temporarily unable to come, so I came to say hello to Mr. Brandt on his behalf."

Since the person was speaking politely, Hermione would naturally not be able to attack easily. What's more, the other person was the man that Ms. DeQuin loved deeply. After all, she was not the kind of person who could do whatever she wanted.

Seeing the other party's humble greeting, she had no choice but to be polite and polite.

"It turns out to be Miss Granger..."

When he heard the surname "McLean", Erich, who had been enthusiastic and calm since just now, finally couldn't hold back and showed a surprised look again.

To be honest, although he had vaguely guessed in advance that Madam Maxime was here to win over him...or rather, she was here to win over the German Ministry of Magic and the Brandt family behind him. But he did not expect that the other party not only brought cloth The old housekeeper of the Lowa family came over, and even people from Maca were brought over.

As for DeQuin…

"Today's meeting is getting more and more complicated." This thought flashed through Erich's mind, causing some turmoil in his heart.

After a slight pause, Eric said to Hermione:

"Mr. MacLean... yes, I have been hearing about his name, but I have never had a chance to meet him. It would be great if he could really come in person. Miss Granger, if you have the chance, please help me Let me introduce you! Oh, in fact, my father has also wanted to meet him for a long time."

I don't know why Erich suddenly mentioned his father, but before he could finish speaking, an inexplicable aura suddenly disappeared in the living room, causing Erich to stop talking immediately.

He didn't need to look to know where this warning aura came from. But besides him, unexpectedly there was another person here who also noticed this strange aura immediately.

"Um?"

Hermione frowned suddenly.
