" Beauxbatons is preparing to close the school? Is this true?"

When he heard the news, Blois couldn't help but frowned again.

Previously, due to Neville's abrupt mention of the presence of living corpses in Beauxbatons, Mr. Blois almost left in a hurry and returned to France. Fortunately, Bill, who left a message for Neville's patron saint, was thoughtful enough to respond to many new news.

During the intelligence, he also added the news that Willie and the old housekeeper had arrived at the refuge community.

After knowing that nothing happened to his precious daughter, Mr. Blois calmed down a little.

However, when Neville then told the story about the closure of Beauxbatons, Blois's expression changed again.

"Since it was Bill who said it, it shouldn't be wrong, but..." Neville said, but he couldn't help but ask, "What's the 'school closure' thing? Beauxbatons finally had to enter a state of indefinite suspension.

Yet?"

Due to the threat of disaster, many large and small schools in Western Europe have basically stopped teaching activities for the safety of teachers and students.

However, if there are schools that have suspended classes, there will naturally be schools that are still trying to persevere - when this disaster is very likely to turn into an indefinite struggle, those little wizards who have not yet grown up,

Perhaps this is the hope for victory in future struggles.

Because of this, Madam Maxime persisted.

Not only did she convince most of the professors to stay and continue teaching, she also contacted the French Ministry of Magic to borrow manpower to strengthen the campus's protection. She even founded the Resistance Alliance with Hermione in an attempt to attract more forces to help her Beauxbatons.

Unfortunately, facts proved that she failed.

The reason for its failure was not disaster, let alone laziness, but human nature.

The sway of most small and medium-sized forces, Mr. Blois's selfishness, and her own inferiority complex hidden under her strength. These days, many factors have caused her to continue to suffer setbacks. And the German Brandt family

The master's sinister plan finally became the last straw that crushed the persistence in her heart.

"Closing the school...? In this season, it's really not a good choice."

Blois frowned and shook his head slightly. Then he roughly told the Beauxbatons past to the others present, and finally said:

"Forget it... Anyway, Potter, bring the first group of wizards over as soon as possible! This is definitely true. As for more manpower... after the first group arrives here, I will personally go back and gather them for you.

"

"Isn't it just to take the opportunity to go back to visit my daughter!" Safina on the side curled her lips. When Blois turned to glare at her, she immediately looked at her without hesitation and said, "Look what I am doing? I said it wrong.

Are you there? Humph, I still want to visit Ursula... Wait, according to what you just said, isn't Ursula going to be trapped in Beauxbatons?"

"Yes," Blois said, waving his hands, "This is why I said that closing the school may not be a good idea - if the enemy can really break through, the wall originally used to defend against the intruders will be immediately destroyed.

It will become a cage that traps you in turn. And for an ancient dark wizard of Haierbo's level...it's hard to say."

"I want to go back!"

In the blink of an eye, the person who was anxious to go to France changed from Mr. Blois to Safina. But until now, Neville has not finished all the news he wanted to say!

To be honest, many things have become quite disturbing this time, both in the UK and outside.

"Safina, you can't go back, everyone still needs you!" Suddenly, Luna, who was sitting not far away, said, "So... leave Ursula's words to me!"

…

When some of the friends over at the Burrow were talking about Maxim, the Beauxbatons principal who was being talked about was in a French town quite far away from the school.

Since the seriousness of the disaster could no longer be concealed, the Muggle public naturally learned of the partially embellished situation in some official announcements.

But reality is reality after all, even if the magical world exposed through this disaster is as bizarre as it is for ordinary Muggles. However, when more and more people have more or less witnessed wizards with their own eyes

After the undisguised activities in the Muggle world, it was obvious that it was no longer possible not to believe it.

And it must be said that a disaster is a disaster after all. Faced with the increasingly serious disaster, everyone has begun to evacuate. In a small town like this, even if the actual action will be a little late, at least there are very few people in the streets and alleys recently.

I can see passers-by walking around.

As a result, it has become very difficult for Maxim to get some food to satisfy his hunger through more normal means in the past two days - after all, the magic spell cannot produce real ingredients.

However, a small town like this, where everyone is closed to the public, seems to be a good place for her to try to hide here.

After looking out the window a few times, Maxim closed the curtains again, and then returned his gaze to the figure on the bed.

As you can see, there is a young girl lying on the bed who is tied up with magic chains. Although the ferocious and twisted face is really frightening, she is really just a girl.

Well, in other words... it's a "living corpse".

After luring it away that day, after a series of hard battles, Maxim finally defeated the opponent with his strong physique and proficient magic skills, and barely restrained him.

Although she herself paid a considerable price.

However, even if he finally has it under control, what should he do next... To be honest, Maxim really has no idea this time.

The conspiracy and calculation of the Brandt family is actually not very thorough. If Maxim is really determined to solve this matter, there are many ways. But the great thing about the Brandt family is that he may have already

He identified Maxim's biggest weakness - the safety of Beauxbatons' teachers and students.

The Brandt family can send one living corpse to Beauxbatons today, and the second one tomorrow; today they can send a living corpse to Maxim, but who knows which corner they can send tomorrow?

Visible threats are certainly scary, but hidden dangers that are visible but cannot be touched, and may erupt at any time, are often the most troublesome.

And at that time, just because Maxim thought of this, she finally decided to ask the professor to start preparing to start the school closure plan.

As for why she is hiding here now... it's very simple. In order to prove her innocence and confirm the conspiracy of the Brandt family head, she needs the most reliable witness!
