harry potter book of crimes

In fact, the old housekeeper was not very clear about why Willy, who had clearly said before that he did not like the Brandt family, chose to come to the side hall after he briefly talked about the attack in Denmark.

.

But he knew very well that as long as Willy didn't want to talk, there was no point in asking.

So...yes, since Willy is going, he only needs to follow. Anyway, even if Mr. Blois is here, he will definitely follow Willy's advice. Of course, the old housekeeper understands this very well.

But that's it.

Therefore, when the two went to the wing on the first floor of Beauxbatons Castle, not only did Madam Maxime feel confused, but in fact, even the old housekeeper didn't know any more than she did.

Of course, this obviously did not prevent them from continuing the conversation.

"Miss Brandt," Maxim said with a slight gesture, "this is the heir to the Blois family and the only daughter of the head of the Blois family - Miss Willie Blois. And...well, she

The old gentleman behind you probably doesn’t need any extra introduction from me.”

Because Willie has basically never shown her face to outsiders since she was a child, other families know that the head of the Blois family has a rich daughter, but most of them have never seen her with their own eyes.

However, this is obviously a thing of the past.

In recent years, due to Maka's activity and Mr. Blois's several personal expeditions, some of Willie's movements have already been included in the scope of intelligence collection by various forces. Just like this time when she temporarily stayed in Beauxbatons, many pairs of eyes

Everyone has already zeroed in on her whereabouts.

"Of course," when the timid Miss Brandt heard this, she couldn't help but glance at Willie and the old housekeeper, and then said softly, "Of course I recognize Mr. Housekeeper of Blois - at the age of fourteen

In the future, my father allowed me to attend several more important balls and celebrations, and I met the housekeeper from a distance a few times. But... Miss Blois, good morning! This should be our... first meeting, right?"

"Well?"

When Miss Brandt was talking, Willie seemed to be just looking at her and thinking about things, and not listening too carefully.

"Oh, is it so?"

Weili is really not sure whether she has met the other person before, because she has never paid much attention to other people. Compared with people, plants are obviously more interesting to her.

But when others take the initiative to talk to her, she will still take it seriously - this is one of the few teachings from her mother when she was a child.

"Good morning, nice to meet you."

Willie answered politely, although when she responded like this, there was not even a trace of "happiness" on her delicate face.

After she finished speaking, Willy continued:

"Miss Brandt, regarding Denmark, do you know what your family plans to do next?"

It must be said that her somewhat abrupt inquiry sounded a little confusing to the other three people present. Including the old housekeeper, no one understood what she wanted to know.

Are you asking about the Brandt family's defense plan in the face of the upcoming disaster? Or are you actually trying to test whether the Brandt family will choose to escape?

Or... she was actually teasing the Brandt family by sending a girl not much older than her to ask for help?

It is precisely because we don’t understand Willie that we are not sure how much she has thought about. This is often the cause of confusion in a purposeful negotiation.

"I...our family just wants to ask the Resistance Alliance and your family to lend us a helping hand during this time of crisis." Miss Brandt pursed her lips, and after hesitating for a moment, she slowly spoke

Authentic, "As for the rest... it should just be some preventive preparations within our capabilities."

However, when Willy heard what she said, she couldn't help but tilt her head. Her expression made her look even more confused than she was.

"Your family wants our help? Why?" Surprise gradually appeared on her face, "Isn't it Denmark that is experiencing disaster now? Shouldn't we help them as much as possible first?"

These questions from Willy can be said to go deep into the soul.

In fact, Willie's idea couldn't be simpler - wherever there is a disaster, help is needed; wherever the enemy attacks, resistance will be there.

Isn't this the principle that the Resistance Alliance should adhere to most? Otherwise, what exactly is this group that has summoned so many forces "resistance"?

There is no doubt that Hermione's intention when she created this alliance was absolutely correct. Even if many things are still beyond her ability, so that her approach may be frustrated in the face of cruel reality, no one can say that she is wrong.

However, just because Hermione is right does not mean that others are also right.

Maxim's vision is actually not short-sighted, but her focus is always on the safety of Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which destined her to be unable to look at the entire disaster selflessly.

Similarly, the old housekeeper of Blois must have always focused on the head of the house, the lady and the family, and the resistance alliance is at best just a tool on his side.

Apart from the two of them, not to mention the other members of the alliance. Just like the Brandt family, the vast majority of them only care about their own affairs.

Too large a gap in combat power will make people choose to give up. There are countless examples in the history of the two sides flying apart when disaster strikes.

Now that the Danish disaster has broken out, Hermione, who is the most active and selfless leader in resistance among the leaders of the alliance, is temporarily absent. Almost everyone else has chosen to take a step back.

Yes, in the face of the incident in Denmark, taking a step back will definitely create more room for resistance. But what happens when the disaster spreads further from Denmark? Can everyone really prepare enough strength to resist the other side?

?

This war is not about sitting on both sides of the chessboard and playing a game of wizard chess. Even if you are at a comprehensive disadvantage, it is impossible to surrender and start over. If you don't fight hard, the result will only be an even more ugly death.

It's a pity that there are many people who understand this, but not many people can actually risk their lives.

Looking at Miss Brandt who was sitting there in a daze, Willie waited for a short while, but finally blinked her eyes and said in a daze:

"Oh...are you afraid? Well, it doesn't matter, our Blois family is not afraid!"

After saying that, she stood up decisively, waved to the old housekeeper beside her and said:

"Let's go! We have to inform father! Also, aren't there many people from our family over at Granger camp? There are Hermione and the others over in England, so... we should be transferred to Denmark now."
