harry potter book of crimes

As mentioned before, all forces in Europe, large and small, are currently paying attention to the confrontation between Haierbo and Maca.

Whether it is because they are worried about getting into trouble, or because they simply do not know which side to stand on, these forces have almost only dared to watch the development of the incident in secret.

Needless to say, the Brandt family to which Erich and his son belong are obviously one of them.

As far as Edward knows, Maka McClain's side is retreating again and again in the further escalation of the struggle with Haierbo, and is gradually falling into a disadvantage. At the moment, there is no news about Maka's whereabouts, even if it is related to some

, the well-informed forces had just learned that Hermione and the others had detached a small team of men and entered Britain, which had completely become an enemy position.

Are they following Maka McLean? Not many people know this yet.

"Miss Granger, I don't think this can be called a 'threat'... You interfere in the family affairs of my Brandt family, and we protest against it. Isn't this normal?"

Edward shook his head and said:

"What's more, what I said before is also true. Mr. McClain and you 'warriors' who support him, shouldn't they be focusing their energy on Haierbo? Recently, after a burst of outbursts, the guy Haierbo has finally regained his temper.

It has calmed down, and you...I heard that you have also begun to prepare for a counterattack..."

Listening to his words, Hermione thought that he was going to persuade her to give up interfering with Erich and Ms. Dequin, but unexpectedly, as the other party was talking, the conversation suddenly changed:

"Mr. Maclean must be very busy right now, right? That's why, Miss Granger, you will go to Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry on his behalf to discuss the union with Madam Maxime... Let me guess, are the three of you planning to leave the UK?"

Recently, several countries that are at greater risk of being attacked by Haierbo have come together to form an organization or something? Of course, of course... our Brandt family is actually very willing to make some efforts on behalf of Germany. What do you think...

How about a hundred adult fire dragons and ten experienced dragon trainers?”

Hearing this, Hermione finally got to know Erich's father. It seemed that this man came here under the order of their old master. Otherwise, he might not be able to make this decision on his own.

One hundred adult fire dragons, this is not a small number even for the Brandt family, which owns several large dragon farms.

Therefore, can it be considered that the Brandt family's true intention is to use such a sum of support to settle this dispute? Hermione didn't know.

She just understood that even if the other party really wanted to do this, Erich's matter was just a cover for an accidental gain. What the old head of the Brandt family really wanted was to take this opportunity to express his attitude a little bit.

Just continue to remain neutral without making friends or provoking anyone.

As for Erich, the "little guy" among his grandchildren, the old family owner probably didn't care at all.

"You know that we are planning to establish an alliance, but you are only willing to provide support without mentioning anything about participating... Is this like this?"

Hermione didn't say this sentence, she just thought about it secretly in her mind, then shook her head slightly and said:

"I have to say that this is indeed a huge support that is difficult to refuse. But to be honest, we actually do not lack the combat power of these hundreds of fire dragons... And compared with this great gift, certain principles

The things above may be more worthy of our persistence.”

"Well...Miss Granger is really a confident and determined witch." Seeing that she decisively rejected his proposal, Edward finally showed a hint of dissatisfaction on his calm face, "In that case, then,

Come on! Miss Granger, if you have the strength of those hundred fire dragons, why not... just prove it to us all?"

"What's the meaning?"

When Hermione heard this, she couldn't help but frown slightly.

Seeing that she seemed a little wary, Edward immediately waved his hand and said:

"Actually, those of us who are watching you fight with Haierbo are also worried about you. After all, everyone knows how powerful the ancient black wizard is! To this day, there is no doubt about Mr. McClain's strength.

But apart from him, like Miss Granger and you brave men who volunteered to stand on the front line, while we are being protected, we can't help but worry about you!"

As he was speaking, he paused for a moment, and then said sincerely:

"So, please show us your strength! It will also make us more confident in you... And if your strength is actually a little insufficient, then we, the hundred-headed fire dragons of the Brandt family, should not refuse anymore.

Already."

To be honest, Hermione actually wanted to ask him now. If he was so "worried", why didn't he join in and provide his own strength?

"How do you want to 'show'? Is Mr. Brandt planning to have a duel with Miss Granger?"

While Hermione was thinking about it, she heard Madame Maxime behind her couldn't help but ask a question, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone that was obviously directed at the other party.

Obviously, after listening to the two talking about this, she, who was still limited by the responsibility on her shoulders, could no longer bear it.

But after Edward heard this, he immediately smiled and said:

"How could it be! With my meager strength, how could I be qualified to fight against the warriors who were fighting against the ancient wizards? In fact, before I came, the head of the family had already asked me to bring the fire dragon...a hundred-headed fire dragon.

Ten dragon trainers, many of them, are on standby in the mountains and forests surrounding the Ministry of Magic. I only need Miss Granger and the three of you to escape safely from this siege without resorting to the Disapparation Spell. I, Brandt,

The family can rest assured."

At this point, while the expressions of Erich, Ms. Dequin and others changed drastically, Edward said:

"Look! In the vast gray fog in Britain today, Apparition cannot be used. This is just like a simulated battle, isn't it? Oh! As for my unsatisfactory son, there is also this German

Ms. Quinn...if you can take her away, then take her away together! I will not make any further obstruction."

"...Of course, Erich, you can be removed from my Brandt family tree by then."

He looked directly at Erich when he said the last sentence, which made the hairs on his body stand up. However, after a moment, Erich still suppressed the numbness in his scalp.

Feeling it, it was difficult to turn my head away.

"So that's it," Hermione, who had been silent for a while, finally sighed, "this is really a huge 'care'!"
