harry potter book of crimes

Who is Miss Granger? This question is obviously unnecessary.

First of all, Madame Maxime is very easy to recognize. Her tall figure and her reputation make it difficult for people to recognize her. As for the old housekeeper, he handled many important affairs of the Blois family in the past.

His father came forward, and there was no reason for the other party not to recognize him.

Then apart from Ms. De Guin, who had been next to Erich at this moment, there was only one woman left whom he didn't know very well.

"This must be Miss Hermione Granger." The man walked up to everyone step by step, then stopped for a moment and said, "My useless son seems to have caused you a lot of trouble. As a father

, I’m afraid I have to apologize to everyone on his behalf.”

"Father?"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Erich. When they saw him nodding with difficulty, different expressions appeared on everyone's faces.

Especially Ms. De Guin, she had never really met Erich's father back then. At that time, she was always thinking about what it would be like when she met him.

But I didn't expect that after so many years, I finally saw it.

"Oh! I was so anxious that I forgot to introduce myself first. This is really rude." The wizard with a majestic look nodded slightly and said, "Edward von Brandt, the first heir of the Brandt family, greets you all.

Already."

In the Brandt family, the position of head of the family is not inherited by the eldest son. Although seniority and order are also considered, the most important thing is talent and ability.

The Brandt family has a competition every five years, and all brothers and sisters in the line of succession can participate. In addition to routine duels, there are also various assessments and competitions, and even the performance and gains during the five-year period will be listed one by one.

into projects that are compared with each other.

And perhaps it is precisely because of such strict and urgent family rules that the Brandt family, which is slightly inferior to other families in terms of historical inheritance, can sit firmly at the top of the German magic world all year round.

Therefore, Erich's abilities as a father are indeed real, and he does have reason to show his pride by using the title of "first heir" when introducing himself to others.

Although, the only person here who really understands its significance is probably his son Erich... Oh, and maybe the old butler who knows very well about these family affairs is also included.

Of course, regardless of whether she knows these things or not, Hermione's attitude towards this matter will definitely not change today.

"Hello, Mr. Brandt, yes, I am Hermione Granger." She nodded, "As for Erich... let's not mention it for the time being, at least he didn't cause me any trouble.

That's for sure. Therefore, I don't think you need to apologize to me."

"Well, really?" Edward waved his hands and said, "Although Miss Granger said so, judging from what Old Hans described to me just now, I can only think that this is a courtesy from Miss Granger.

.”

As he was speaking, he suddenly waved his hand and said coldly:

"Hans, now that Butler Blois and Madame Maxime are here, you might as well tell me what you reported to me again. If you let me know that there is even half a lie, you will commit suicide in front of the head of the family.

Take the blame! You know, this is Miss Granger who acts on behalf of Mr. MacLean, how can you easily slander her?"

"Old Hans doesn't dare to slander anyone!" When the old man in gray robe heard this, he quickly stepped forward respectfully and said, "I just followed the instructions of the master of the family and wanted to give some punishment to the young master who violated the order of the master of the family. But.

...But this Miss Granger suddenly intervened in the family affairs of my Brandt family and cast a terrible ancient magic on me, which almost cost me my life!"

At least on the surface, each of the old man's words had no problem, but looking at his tone and demeanor, he was clearly portraying Hermione as a bully.

But that was all. Hermione didn't refute anything. Instead, she wanted to continue to hear what the master and servant wanted to say through this coquettish appearance.

And soon, I saw the old man saying:

"...Actually, it's nothing. My life is not worth mentioning. However, Miss Granger not only refused to let me carry out the master's order, she also bluntly said that she would interfere with the matter between the young master and this woman. You know,

The head of the family gave the death order many years ago, and he expressed that he did not want to hear about this woman named Emily DeQuin appearing next to the young master again."

"Erich," when the old man said this, Edward suddenly turned his head and glared at his son, and said coldly, "Why don't you come over here?"

"..."

Erich stared blankly at his majestic father, feeling the pressure in his heart increase sharply. He could feel the warmth and strength of Dequin's hand holding his, but even so, he wanted to refuse his father's order.

It was even more difficult for him.

Sitting there in silence like this, holding hands with DeQuin without moving, was the limit of what he could do at the moment.

Hermione and Maxim were watching from the side, and their hearts were naturally very complicated. It was difficult for them to understand that Erich was so old that he couldn't even refute his father's words.

"What kind of family is this Brandt family?"

Hermione shook her head and was about to say something when she heard Erich's father suddenly say:

"By the way, Miss Granger... although I don't really want to be so direct, I still have to say, please stop interfering in our family's domestic affairs. This trivial matter is not worth spending so much of your precious time on."

I know that Britain has been invaded by Haierbo, and Mr. Maclean and you should be preparing for a counterattack... At such a critical moment, I really don’t understand why you still want to do these things?"

At this point, he suddenly shrugged, then finally sighed and said:

"And... all kinds of accidents are happening one after another these days. The 'evil' ancient dark wizard is really unpredictable when he moves. If something delays your action against him, it will be really bad.

...Miss Granger, don't you think so?"

If the previous few sentences were still about negotiating "family matters", then these last remarks conveyed a subtle warning.

Judging from the Brandt family's performance so far, this threat is not false. If Hermione doesn't let go now, they may really dare to do something in Hermione and others' actions against Haierbo.

However……

"Mr. Brandt, do you know? What Maka doesn't like the most is someone threatening him."
