Delphi was familiar with "Monsieur Blois".

Yes, even the "Mr. Blois" in memory is always somewhat different from the one in reality. But in the final analysis, Mr. Blois is still Mr. Blois, and there seems to be no difference in essence.

.

In those hazy memories that were so illusory and so real that Delphi could no longer distinguish them, Mr. Blois cherished his daughter Willie extremely much. But other than that, when it came to other people and other things, he did not treat her as he did to Willy.

Li was so enthusiastic.

Therefore, when Sarah said that half-sentence to Willy and then hesitated to take it back, the smart Delphi had already vaguely realized that some choices might have occurred in the process of Percy's death.

After all, the Weymouth camp was under violent attack and it seemed that it was unlikely to be able to withstand it. So no matter what, it was necessary to ask for help from the rear; after all, the support force available to Percy in an emergency was very limited.

However, Delphi and Sarah did not continue to talk about this topic - they just looked at each other thoughtfully and put the matter aside for the time being.

Because, Willie came over soon with a teapot and teacup.

After that, the three of them did not continue to chat about their thoughts about Percy's death in battle, but Sarah took the initiative to bring the conversation to Willy's favorite plant.

In alchemy, theoretically speaking, everything in the world can be regarded as the materials and products of alchemy. As plants, which are life forms that are quite compatible with the four elements of alchemy, they have been widely studied in ancient and modern alchemy.

and use.

The second major reason Sarah came to Beauxbatons was to find some alchemy materials. This was not just a random reason she found to fool Hermione.

At the same time, Delphi, who had never interrupted before, finally took the initiative to participate in this "girls" tea party. Even though she personally didn't know much about herbalism and the like, she didn't know much about it.

It prevents three people from talking harmoniously together.

Finally, after Willie promised to find some flower seeds for Sarah, a knock on the door announced the end of this late-night chat.

"...Miss, it's dinner time."

Naturally, it was the old housekeeper who came to invite Weili and the others to dine. Although this was just a small matter, it was always done by the old housekeeper himself, with few exceptions.

"Okay, let's come right now...Oh, by the way, Miss Hohenheim is also here, you should know that, right?"

"Oh, yes, everyone has heard about it - Madame Maxime specially asked the kitchen to prepare more delicious food!"

Outside the door, the old housekeeper's voice sounded again, and Willy stood up and extended her hand to Sarah to invite her.

"As I said, Madame Maxime is a very good person."

"Oh, yes!"

Sarah smiled and followed Willie to the door with Delphi.

…

"Mr. Blois, you are here."

Beauxbatons' dining hall is not as big as the Great Hall of Hogwarts, but after all, it has to accommodate so many students, so it is still quite spacious.

But now, because the students have gone home for the holidays, only a few remain. When many tables here have been removed, the already large restaurant seems even bigger.

Even... somewhat empty.

"Um."

Blois nodded to Madame Maxime, who was already waiting here as usual, and then sat down at the seat he had been sitting in for the past few days.

Seeing that after he sat down, he seemed to have no intention of speaking, Maxim then said again:

"I asked the kitchen to add some more dishes today."

"Hmm, sounds good."

Blois nodded again and responded in this way, but quickly became cold again. Seeing this, Maxim had no choice but to sigh secretly after a short pause and said:

"I heard that Miss Hohenheim came in the evening, and Miss Blois took her to the room to drink tea and chat... There will be an extra guest for dinner at this time, so I asked the kitchen to prepare more."

And when she talked about Sarah like this, Mr. Blois finally frowned slightly, then shook his head and said:

"Yes, I've heard about this too - the girl from the Hohenheim family, a family of alchemists, studied at Hogwarts for a while, and has a good relationship with Miss Granger."

"Yes!" Mrs. Maxim said, picked up the cup and took a sip of water, then added, "It seems that she has a very good relationship with Mr. MacLean."

"McLean..." Hearing Maxim mention Maca, Blois couldn't help but frown again, "That's true. Not long ago, I met this Miss Hohenheim in Winchester Cathedral.

We met several times. But I didn’t expect that this time she would come back with Miss Granger and the others.”

It was obvious that Maxim wanted to take advantage of Sarah's arrival to bring up Percy's matter with Blois again - since the news of Percy's death came back to Beauxbatons, she had not had a chance to talk to him.

We had a good talk about this matter!

However, there is a big gap between Maxim and Blois in their understanding of Sarah - after all, the latter roughly knows Sarah's strength in alchemy, but Maxim is not so clear.

So when it comes to talking about it at this moment, in just a few words, the two of them are no longer thinking on the same channel.

"All in all, it's a good thing that Miss Hohenheim is back - both for you and me."

"Um?"

This sentence was said by Blois, and as soon as the words came out, Madame Maxime was a little confused.

She originally thought that Blois would at least be a little troubled by Sarah's arrival, because Blois's approach to Percy's request for help was indeed not very authentic. But to her surprise, he actually said that this was a "good thing"

.

"Well, it seems... like this."

Madame Maxime was puzzled and agreed vaguely, which brought the simple conversation while waiting before the meal to an end for the time being.

Not long after, when she took another sip of water, there was finally a burst of slightly messy footsteps outside the restaurant.

Not only Willy and the other three, but also a dozen Beauxbatons students who stayed at the school had also arrived. And this finally made the somewhat deserted restaurant a little lively.

Of course, with the principal and professors around, especially when there are few people at the moment, the students will always be somewhat reserved. On the contrary, the three of them, Weili, are simply more natural than these students of the school, caring for themselves while

He said this casually and sat down at the table of Maxim and Blois very casually.

"Mrs. Maxim, I was supposed to visit you first, but I accidentally delayed it until now. Sarah must apologize to you - I'm sorry, madam."

As soon as she sat down with Willy and Delphi, Sarah immediately stood up again, leaning slightly towards Maxim.
