harry potter book of crimes

Things are developing just as Mrs. Maxim expected.

Denmark was attacked, and regardless of the current tragic situation there, at least for now, the "second" concern about this incident must be Germany.

Germany, which is closely connected to the Danish border, at this moment, both the Muggle leaders and the leaders of the wizarding world have fallen into intense anxiety.

After Denmark is finished, it will probably be their turn!

"Madam, someone from the Brandt family is here and they want to see you, Madam -"

Hearing the administrator hurried to the office to report like this, Maxim almost didn't need to think too much and quickly understood the purpose of the other party's visit.

"'ask to see'?"

Her expression looked a little subtle.

"Yes," the Beauxbatons administrator nodded immediately, "Madam, I didn't add anything to it! These were all said by the other party, I was only responsible for paraphrasing them."

As mentioned before, the administrator of Beauxbatons is different from Hogwarts. He is also a wizard. As a wizard with fairly good knowledge, of course he also has a lot of knowledge about things in the magical world.

learn.

The Brandt family is to Germany what the Blois family is to France. Not to mention being a household name in the local magic community, it is actually not much different. Because they started by operating a dragon farm and producing and selling various fire dragon materials.

Needless to say, he is rich and famous throughout Europe.

Perhaps because of this, the Brandt family has always been very confident, and the family is also "rich" with arrogant and complacent people. To be honest, in the upper-class circles of the European magic world, the Brandt family has never been very good.

Likeable.

But... of course, among big families and powerful forces where interests are paramount, personal character is obviously not absolute. As long as you abide by the rules and honor your reputation in the business world, the quality of your personal relationships will only become a matter of after-dinner gossip at best.

It's just a matter of conversation.

And it has to be said that the Brandts are always shrewd in business - at least they never completely stalemate their relationships with others.

Moreover, they are obviously not stingy about bowing to others when it is necessary to give in.

"Really?" Maxim heard this and paused for a moment, "Who is here? Is it the representative sent by the Brandt family to the Resistance Alliance?"

When Hermione, Maxim, and the old butler went to recruit people to form the Resistance Alliance, the Brandt family in Germany was obviously not very cooperative. Although they did join in the end, their family

They only sent a deacon with a foreign surname from the region as a representative. It can be seen that they have never paid attention to this alliance.

Or, in other words, I actually don’t want to get involved personally.

After that, due to Hermione's strong performance in the meeting and the successive victories on the front line, the Brandt family finally became more cooperative. They formed the coalition to provide combat power and collected resources for consumption, which was more or less for the alliance.

The Resistance Project played its part.

However, when the situation went from bad to worse, they began to follow the wind again, and even secretly did some naysaying things below. If it were not for the most critical moment, Mr. Blois came back to live in Beauxbatons by chance.

, they might cause more trouble.

But now, when the Danish incident breaks out, the people in the Brandt family can no longer sit still. Because it is obvious that no matter how much they like to sit on the sidelines, the fire will now burn directly to the wall, and their grassroots

How can it be firmly anchored?

"Not that representative." The administrator shook his head and said, "That person claimed to be a member of the family council, and his surname was Brandt."

"Oh?" After Maxim heard this, he nodded and said, "Then... well, please ask him to sit in the side hall! I will be there in a moment."

"Okay, ma'am."

The administrator responded, then turned and walked towards the door. However, when he walked to the door and was about to open the door and go out, he seemed to have thought of something and added:

"That's right! Madam, it's not 'he', it's 'she' - it's a lady, and she actually doesn't look very old."

Before he finished speaking, he exited the office and closed the door behind him.

"'she'?"

Maxim chewed the word for a moment, and after a few seconds, he said to himself with some clarity:

"Does the Brandt family owner... want to play the emotional card? Or is it actually the sympathy card?"

…

It is not surprising that the Brandt family intends to ask for help from the Rebel Alliance, so the reason why they would send people to Beauxbatons to visit Madame Maxime is obvious and not difficult to guess.

But to be honest, Madame Maxime is actually just a breaking point for them. And the people the other party really wants to show their good will to are probably the Blois family and Hermione and others who are facing the living corpses on the front line.

In fact, it’s Maca!

Maxim is very self-aware of this - Beauxbatons is just a magic school after all, and she herself is not as strong as Dumbledore or Maka.

Therefore, Madame Maxime, who was self-aware enough, sent someone to find the housekeeper of Blois before going to the side hall to meet the other party.

"Mr. Butler, Madam only hopes that you can accompany her to meet the Brandt family who came to visit. Even if you just sit there and don't talk, that's fine."

When Maxim's people found the old housekeeper, they found him sitting in the garden, quietly accompanying Willie who was tending to the flowers and plants.

Since Mr. Blois went to the front line, Willie and the old housekeeper have been in this state almost the same way - watering the flowers and weeding during the day, and sleeping quietly in silence without thinking about anything at night. Sometimes the old housekeeper will replace Blois.

My husband handles some necessary family affairs, but most of them are not important, and he is only responsible for making suggestions, and basically does not have much burden.

Perhaps, this is similar to the retirement life! Although as a housekeeper, he does not actually "retire".

"I won't go!" Looking at the person coming, the old housekeeper shook his head slightly and said, "I will no longer interfere with the alliance's affairs - at least until the head of the family comes back. Go tell the lady! I

Now we can’t represent the Blois family sitting there, so...it’s useless to go there.”

"this--"

The old housekeeper refused, and the other party was obviously very embarrassed. He looked around, and when he saw Willie squatting busy by the flower bed, he couldn't help but take a second look.

However, at this moment, the old housekeeper frowned slightly.
