"Stop! Don't come over"

It was Erich who stood in front of Ms. Dequin, but suddenly, the latter took a step forward and walked around in front of Erich.

Seeing that the old man in gray robe had raised his wand and pointed it at him, Dequin was not afraid at all. Even if Erich behind him wanted to pull her away again, she persisted and never moved a step.

"Step aside."

The old man did not remove the wand, he just paused for a moment, then pointed at Ms. DeQuin and warned coldly:

"Do you think I really believe the young master when he says he is not familiar with you? Hum, I know who you are. You are the little girl who shamelessly seduced my young master back then. If you don't get out of the way, I will treat you as admitting this identity.

Got it!"

Having said this, a sneer finally appeared on his expressionless face.

"And if that's the case... the matter between you and my young master can also be counted as the family matter of my Brandt family! Then I think..."

As the old man spoke, his eyes suddenly swept across Madame Maxime, the old housekeeper and Hermione one by one, and while looking at them he said:

"Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the Blois family, and Hogwarts... no matter how broad your control is, you can't interfere with the family affairs of my Brandt family, right?"

Obviously, this guy was also aware of the purpose of Mrs. Maxim's trip. Even if he didn't know everything, he at least guessed that they were planning to recruit some forces to jointly deal with Haierbo's invasion.

And if any disputes arise at this time, it will definitely have an impact on their plans.

Therefore, the old man knew very well that as long as he did not do anything extreme to touch their bottom line, they would have their scruples.

Before he finished speaking, the old man suddenly turned his head, waved his wand and flicked Ms. De Guin aside, and then cast a spell on his young master...that is, Erich.

It might be some kind of imprisonment, or some kind of punishment that would bring pain to people. He was sent by the old patriarch to protect him and keep a close eye on Erich. When encountering special circumstances, even if the other party is the young master

He also has the power to take action.

Erich did not move, because he understood that at least Dequin would be fine today. As for himself... Has the punishment given to him by the family over the years been less?

Not bad this time.

However, neither he nor the old man expected that under such circumstances, someone would still dare to stop him!

"boom!"

A silent disarming curse passed in front of everyone's eyes like lightning, forcing the old man to subconsciously withdraw his wand and wave an iron armor curse with his backhand to deflect it.

In an instant, the sparks caused by the impact of the magic spell exploded.

"Miss Granger, please"

It was Eric who spoke, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Hermione waved her hand and blocked him.

"Before I get to the point, I have to correct what you just said, old gentleman. Maybe you think I am representing Hogwarts, but I have to say that I alone cannot represent Hogwarts at all.

This is it! From the beginning to the end of today’s trip, I can only represent Maka personally in the very personal name of ‘friend’.”

As she was speaking, she couldn't help but pause slightly, and then said decisively:

"And since I am representing Maka today, I think I have to act in his style. Otherwise...well, I don't want to embarrass him in front of others."

"McLean's style?"

To be honest, Hermione's sudden change made Erich feel a little confused. Although he had a lot of information about Maka in his head, he seemed unable to sum up a so-called "action" for a while.

Style" as a reference.

On the other hand, the old man in gray robe was far less familiar with the "Maca" in Hermione's mouth. Therefore, when he saw Hermione's sudden strength, he understood her meaning directly.

"Maka? Maka McLean?" the old man said, "Yes, I heard about a young man who can fight against ancient dark wizards... Obviously, if he appears in front of me in person, then I can't say

I can only retreat silently. But this lady, if it were you"

"What about 'my words'?" Hermione held the wand in her hand and glared at him directly, "Yes, compared to Maka, my strength is nothing to mention. But you didn't just

Listen to me? Today... I will never embarrass him!"

As soon as these words were spoken, no one could react, but they saw that the old man in gray robe suddenly felt his feet soften, and he knelt down on the spot with his hands on the ground. Looking at that look, people who didn't know thought he was...

I’m giving you a big gift!

"you you!"

Heavy, unparalleled heavy, this was not a weight that he could bear at this age. The old man could only hold on without lying on the ground, which was the limit. He tried several times, but could not stand up.

"Is this...ancient magic? Why..."

After all, they are a big family with a long heritage, so they still have this knowledge. But he doesn't understand why Hermione's magic is so unpredictable. If the other party has really practiced ancient magic to the point of being able to use it like a finger, then

He really had nothing to say.

But he didn't notice that as early as the moment he stretched out his wand towards Erich, an inconspicuous piece of paper had been dropped at his feet.

At such a close distance, Hermione didn't even need to control it, she could just throw it away.

"Old sir," Hermione said still politely, "put down your wand, and then I can let you go back to your family to report to your head. This is very simple, isn't it?"

"...Okay, I understand."

The old man lay on the ground with a tense face, and finally gave in and let go of the wand in his hand. Hermione watched the wand roll to the side, then removed the rules of gravity, and watched the other man stand up straight again with difficulty.

.

Then, the old man glanced meaningfully at Erich and Dequin again, then turned and walked towards the door of the living room.

"Remember to tell your master that we will be waiting in the main hall of the Ministry of Magic! I, Hermione Granger, will take care of Ms. DeQuin's matter!"

As soon as Hermione finished saying this, the moment he opened the door, she saw him quickly throwing something this way, and then rushed out of the door.

"Okay, just wait!"

At the same time as these words were heard outside the door, a red light suddenly flashed in the hall, and immediately several black shadows suddenly flew towards Hermione.

This old guy just pretended to give in, and he did this before he left.
