harry potter book of crimes

Speaking of which, Hermione didn't need to "play" such a mock battle with the Brandt family. If she had insisted on taking Erich and Dequin away by force, Edward would certainly not have entangled her too much.

.

After all, he is not a fool, how could he dare to offend Beauxbatons, the Blois family and Hogwarts headed by Maka in one fell swoop?

Not to mention that Edward didn't dare, even if his old man came in person, he would not do such a stupid thing in this sensitive period, which would inevitably make him the target of public criticism.

However, the Brandt family needs to find excuses, pretend to be polite, and keep a bottom line. Naturally, Hermione and the three of them also need to more or less betray these big family forces to save face. Maka is not that Herbo, as long as he still hopes

To maintain order and maintain the existence of "civilization", these accidental favors must be kept together.

Not to mention, even if these forces are very shrewd and only know how to carefully judge the situation from the sidelines, in the final analysis, they will eventually side with Maka.

For example, the Brandt family behind Edward. The reason why they had to make such trouble this time was just to confirm the strength of Maca's side before they cooperate, and to ensure the stability between the two parties in the future.

It's just an equal relationship.

Yes, not to mention Mrs. Maxim and the old housekeeper, even Hermione, who had not had deep contact with these forces, had already roughly guessed these twists and turns of "bad things".

However, Hermione, who originally wanted to take advantage of the "mock battle" proposed by the opponent to show off her strength and take the initiative, was interrupted by a small accident.

"Luna?"

Hermione, who was leading a large group of fire dragons to fly rapidly, suddenly lowered her head and glanced at the beaded bag. The shining bead made her frown slightly.

"Did something happen at Beauxbatons? Or is there critical news from Harry?"

She wasn't too anxious yet, because if it were an extremely urgent accident, the glowing magic bead would have been turned into pieces by now.

"Anyway, it's definitely not a trivial matter, otherwise you wouldn't have sent a signal to let me go back... Forget it, let's go back and take a look before we talk!"

While thinking this, she saw her throwing back all the few remaining rune cards in her hand. Under the rules of gravity, the chasing fire dragon seemed to be pulled by invisible giant hands.

, fell down one after another.

The next second, Hermione controlled the broomstick and instantly changed direction, rushing towards the old butler and the others in the distance.

While passing somewhere in the forest, she shouted loudly below:

"Mrs. Maxim, let's leave Germany alone for now. You can go to your next destination first! I have something to do and I have to go back to Beauxbatons first."

"OK."

After a while, Hermione, who had already flown over there, heard a response from the forest, and suddenly her body flashed and disappeared in mid-air.

In front of the Ministry of Magic, Edward saw her suddenly and inexplicably leaving, and couldn't help being slightly startled. However, after thinking about it, he shook his head, pulled out his wand and released a signal to the sky to stop the pursuit.

This simulated battle had actually come to an end, and the result was that the Hundred-Headed Fire Dragon was unable to keep its opponent at all, and instead was tricked around by Granger.

As for why the other party left before the end... By now, it doesn't seem to be that important anymore.

"It's better to go back and persuade the old man to think about it again! Just because a girl with almost no actual combat performance has such a level of strength, it doesn't make much sense to strive for equal cooperation with that Maka McLean."

Before he finished speaking, Edward apparated away from here and returned to his family to report. Among other things, the last scene of these large numbers of fire dragons falling from the sky was deeply reflected in his mind.

…

At the same time, in the Beauxbatons lounge, Delphi was instructing the maid Larson, who came to apologize, on the next course of action.

"...Since Miss Geofine has most likely gone to England, and may have even joined the reconnaissance team, then going to the French Ministry of Magic to meet the survivors cannot be postponed until the afternoon. Ms. Larson,

When Miss Granger comes back, please go with her to ask about the situation! They may know about your young lady."

"I know, I will go."

Larson nodded and watched as the exceptionally capable and beautiful girl in front of him finished talking to him and then immediately turned around to talk to Percy Weasley about other matters. To be honest, she was actually

Somewhat confused.

According to Larson's rough confirmation, the girl named Delphi should be a Muggle. But just as she had thought before, the other party not only knew the magic world very well, but also had many friends among Mr. McClain's group of friends.

Big say.

But at the same time, after she expressed her opinion, she would often glance at Miss Lovegood who was sitting on the chair and looked a little strange, as if to see if the latter agreed.

.

No, maybe not only Delphi, but also Miss Granger, whom everyone trusts, seems to often seek other people's opinions.

"Miss Lovegood?" As Larson observed, after Delphi said a few words to Percy, she turned to look at Luna again, "You will go to France with us soon.

Ministry of Magic? Miss Lovegood? Luna?"

For some reason, the blond girl seemed to be in a daze, and she didn't know what she was thinking about alone. After Delphi called out, she came back to her senses and whispered:

"Oh that's fine!"

"Well, then it's settled." Delphi nodded slightly to finalize the matter, and then hesitantly said, "Luo...Luna, what are you thinking about?"

"It's nothing, I'm just a little worried about Maka and Miss Blois. You know, haste makes waste. We seem to be too anxious recently, even Maka is like this."

"Yeah?"

Delphi pursed her lips, not knowing what to say for a moment.

In fact, perhaps other people are still very confused about what is happening in front of them. Everyone only knows that Haierbo has forced him into a trough, and the situation is not good, but it is difficult to understand what is so bad.

However, Luna realized it with her excellent intuition, while Delphi relied on her specious "memory".

She could understand Luna's worries. After all, she was also troubled by her own unconfirmed memories!
