"Master, the Weymouth camp has been breached. The wizard team that resisted the Alliance has suffered a lot of losses and has retreated to the Granger camp. In addition...according to the report below, Percy Weasley was killed in action."

"died?"

"Yes... this is the news sent by one of the leaders of the group of family wizards that the family leader sent earlier. There should be no mistake."

"Well, Percy Weasley? Okay, I understand this - but what about the men sent by our Blois family? How many casualties are there?"

"Just as much."

"Then add another batch! By the way, don't let Willy know about this."

"Of course, I understand. It's just that... the head of the family, I wonder what Mr. McClain would think of this?"

This conversation took place in Mr. Blois's room at Beauxbatons not long after the Alliance team was forced to retreat to Camp Granger. The two parties involved in this conversation were naturally Willie's father and the old butler.

People.

In the end, Mr. Blois did not directly answer the old butler's "What do you think?" He just remained silent for a while, then waved his hand and said:

"You go out first!"

"Okay, Master."

The old butler did not continue talking, but after giving a brief salute as usual, he exited Mr. Blois's room. After closing the door, he looked at the door panel and sighed silently.

Obviously, as the steward of the Blois family, he actually overstepped his bounds with the last sentence - even though he had assisted Willie's grandfather, the old head of the Blois family, he is still the same now.

His master's family, this will not change.

And even if you step back ten thousand steps, it should be the responsibility of the family members who can participate in the family council to advise the family head, and it is not his responsibility as a housekeeper.

Fortunately, Weili's father has always been a person who cherishes old friendships, and he didn't argue with him just now.

However, it has to be said that some of Mr. Blois's recent decisions really disapprove of the old housekeeper. Such self-restraint and retreat is not the usual behavior of the Blois family.

It's a pity that the person in the room is the head of the Blois family, not the housekeeper.

"well--"

Sighing again in his heart, the old housekeeper turned around and left the door of the room, going downstairs along the corridor.

…

When Sarah appeared in front of the Beauxbatons gate with a moment of space distortion, there was not much sunset left that day. But fortunately, she obviously still made it in time for the Beauxbatons dinner. But compared to usual, in fact, recently

The dinner at school is not particularly sumptuous.

Because now, Beauxbatons has finally come to its spring break, and most of the students have gone home to reunite with their families.

The entire campus is much quieter than usual.

"Miss, you...did you leave something at school?"

Because Sarah looked so much like a minor, the administrator on duty at the door immediately mistook her for a student returning to school.

"Oh, no! I am Sarah Hohenheim...please tell Madame Maxime! Just say that I have a little business and want to come and visit."

"Hohenheim?"

Unlike Hogwarts, the administrator of Beauxbatons is also a wizard, and is obviously quite familiar with things in the magical world. When he heard this last name, he immediately stood up, nodded and said:

"Miss, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... During this extraordinary period, please wait outside for a moment. I hope you can understand."

The administrator was very efficient, that is, after a few minutes, he returned to the gate again. However, when he came back, there was still only one person, and there was no tall figure of Mrs. Maxim on the left or right.

.

"Sorry, the principal doesn't seem to be in the school... Oh, this is my dereliction of duty. I didn't know that she left the school without knowing when." The other party said apologetically, and then added, "But, I

I have already told a professor who is staying at the school about your arrival, and she said she would come over right away——"

However, before he finished speaking, Sarah suddenly turned her head slightly and cast her gaze behind him. Seeing this, the other party couldn't help but look back, only to find that for some time, those two people had been very common recently.

The girl has appeared behind him.

"You two ladies, what do you have..."

"It's nothing," Willie shook her head, and then said to Sarah, "Miss Hohenheim, why are you here? Aren't you at Winchester Church?"

"I should be the one asking you, right?" Sarah looked at her through the door, shook her head and said, "When did you come to Beauxbatons? Where is Mr. MacLean?"

After asking this question, she turned around and glanced at Delphi who was following Willy.

"Who are you--"

"A friend of Mr. Maclean's."

Delphi didn't say much, but introduced herself very briefly. Although Sarah was a little curious about her, she didn't pay much attention to her.

At the moment, Delphi is just a Muggle whose magic power has not yet awakened.

"Hello," Sarah nodded slightly, and then looked at Willie again, "Miss Blois...it just happened. In fact, I also want to talk to you about something. I wonder if you would like to welcome me?"

"Of course you're welcome." Willie replied without hesitation, "Well, it seems impolite to chat through the door... Mr. Administrator, can you open the door for me? Everyone knows this Miss Hohenheim. She's not someone.

Suspicious person."

"However, the principal has specifically asked you not to--"

"It doesn't matter," Willie shook her head and said, "Just open the door, I guarantee it."

Since Willy said so, he had no choice but to respond, took out the key and wand, and opened the school gate that was locked with magic and had a lot of protection added.

Anyway, he had already notified a professor just now, plus... Willy is the daughter of the Blois family in France, so her words can naturally be regarded as representing the Blois family. Now even the head of the Blois family is

Staying overnight in Beauxbatons as a guest seems to have nothing to worry about.

However, the three ladies present obviously didn't care about the administrator's thoughts. When Sarah entered the school, Willie took her straight inside.

"Why!"

The administrator was just about to say something to dissuade, but he saw Sarah suddenly turned around and nodded behind him, making him stunned again.

When he hurriedly looked back, he suddenly felt that his efforts were in vain - and at some point, the professor he had just informed appeared behind him.

"Don't worry, Madam is back." The professor said casually while looking at Sarah's back seriously.
