harry potter book of crimes

Fleur Delacour, who has been silently helping out at Camp Granger recently and seems to have been almost forgotten by the outside world, unexpectedly heard that someone was looking for her at the gate of the camp today. When she ran away with some doubts,

When she went to meet him, she found that she didn't seem to recognize the person who came to see her.

And after that, when she actually met the other party and learned the purpose of his visit, she realized that it was actually a member of the Federation sent by Mrs. Maxim.

Of course, what surprised Fleur the most was probably the fact that Maxim had now become the current president of the International Federation of Wizards.

Perhaps because she heard a lot of information behind these simple sentences and knew that she might not be able to determine it by herself, Fleur finally invited the other party to Bill's side——

Even if the witch from the Federation proposed it, Madam Maxime only asked her to come to Fleur, but did not ask her to meet anyone else.

Fortunately, this witch is obviously not a rigid person. In addition, as a member of the Federation, she is naturally very aware of the importance of the Granger camp. If she just came here but did not go to see it,

The person in charge here is indeed not very good.

However, in the final analysis, Maxim asked her to come here just to send a message, and there was really no need to meet Bill. So she followed Fleur to the command post tent, and under Bill's inquiry, she told Bill some time ago

After telling everything that could be said about what happened in the Federation, he reiterated the purpose of coming here.

"...Miss Delacour, as I said outside just now, Madam Maxime asked me to invite you to the federation headquarters. Although Madam did not specifically say so, I think she should have

I want to ask you to do something..."

In Bill's command post tent, there is actually no space specifically used to receive guests, so at this moment they are all just sitting next to a table usually used for meetings - there are some scattered piles on the table.

There are things like maps, pen and ink, manuscript paper and books, as well as some information documents that may not be very important, and they look messy.

"Well, as for what exactly it is... it's probably all in this envelope."

Having said this, the witch from the association took out an envelope from the bag hanging at her side and reached out to hand it to Fleur.

"Since Madam didn't let me see it and didn't give me any explanation, Miss Delacour should wait until I go out before opening it!"

Before she finished speaking, she paused again, and then looked hesitantly at Bill, who was also sitting next to him. But this time, before she could speak, Bill looked at her clearly.

He nodded and said decisively:

"Don't worry! I won't look at it either... Oh, unless Fleur thinks it's okay for me to look at it."

After saying that, he glanced at Furong with a smile and shrugged lightly.

Speaking of which, all the wizards in the camp have actually seen some of the changes that have happened to Bill recently. After learning that Percy had been killed in battle, he seemed to have maintained his composure with great perseverance.

, and in this way the injured people who escaped from Weymouth were properly rescued and resettled.

However, Percy is his biological brother after all. Even if he knows Percy's ambitions and wishes, and is willing to affirm Percy's heroic death in battle, even if he can suppress the sadness in his heart, he cannot really ignore it after all.

.

So...how should I put it? In fact, Bill's heart has always been suppressed, so that in recent days, his life seems to be completely different from the past.

But it must be said that Bill is actually lucky because Fleur is here.

Perhaps the two of them were really well matched. During this period of time, they lived and worked together at Camp Granger, and they usually got along very well. Bill and Fleur both had a certain affection for each other. The two had been getting along for a long time, and Bill finally looked down on it a little bit.

In order to overcome the sadness caused by Percy's death, he regained some of his previous temperament.

"Do not show you."

Fleur took the envelope from the witch, glared at Bill deliberately, then stood up and said to the union witch:

"Just stay here and sit for a while! I'll just go out and unpack it."

"I think we should go out!" Upon seeing this, Bill quickly stood up and said, "Although no one should come to my place right now, since it is necessary to keep it secret, it is best not to let other people see it as much as possible.

Well done!”

When he said this, the union witch immediately agreed, and the two simply walked around the table together and left the tent under Fleur's helpless eyes.

To be honest, Fleur actually doesn't think it's necessary - she was Madam Maxim's favorite student at the time, so she knew him quite well. At least she knew that with Madam's always cautious behavior, if

If there really is something in this envelope that needs to be kept secret, then he definitely wouldn't send a person like this to deliver the letter.

But, now that Bill and the union witch have made room for her, then forget it!

Thinking of this, she retracted the thoughts in her mind, then raised her hand and gently pulled it open, finally tearing open the envelope.

…

While Fleur was reading the letter in the tent, Bill and the witch had already come to the open space outside.

As he said before, at this time, no one usually comes here to look for him, because he is basically sorting out information at this time every day.

Obviously, even if such a guest comes today, what Bill does has not changed much. At present, he has only studied information from reporting documents and secret letters, to understanding it from people's mouths.

It's just information.

"Ma'am, since you work in the federation and seem to know a lot of things... I don't know, are you aware of the recent situation in the Netherlands?"

This sentence was the first question Bill asked the witch.

Some time ago, when the living corpses suddenly invaded the Netherlands across the sea, a lot of information was sent back one after another from various aspects. However, recently, the information, whether direct or indirect, has become less and less.

This made Bill more concerned about the current situation there.

After all, there is only Belgium between the Netherlands and France. No one knows whether those terrifying living corpses will come south.

However, after thinking about it for a while, the union witch still shook her head.

"I don't know," she said. "I'm basically only responsible for some things within the federation... But if the intelligence from the Netherlands suddenly decreases, I think... I'm afraid it won't be a good sign."
