harry potter book of crimes

If we put aside the survivors in the forest for the moment, in fact, from the moment the head of the Blois family arrived in time, the local crisis caused by the arrival of the two high-level zombies had been resolved. As for the rescue,

Regarding the matter, I must be honest here - at least in terms of the overall situation, the success or failure here is indeed not enough to have a big impact.

Compared with this, the fact that Mr. Blois joined the Dutch war midway is actually a change worth paying more attention to... Whether it is the human side or the zombie side, I am afraid this is the case.

For example, Madame Maxime, who has just rushed from Camp Granger to the north of Belgium, seems to be thinking so.

"...Do you still remember what I said when we came out today? Everyone else should stay in the car! It's enough for just the two of us. If there are more people, it will look too unfamiliar and polite. Remember, this time I am just

I went to meet Miss Blois as a 'friend'."

The exquisite talisman horse-drawn carriage came from the southwest sky and glided to land gently. The wheels would stop rolling. Maxim himself opened the door and bent down to walk out. And just as she had just told her again, behind her

Except for the first secretary, no one else got off the car.

"Is it Madam Maxime? May I ask...what is the important matter for Madam to come to our temporary camp in Blois?"

It can only be said that he is worthy of being a member of the Blois family in France. Even if he is just a camp guard, he can still ask questions and respond to Maxim without being humble or arrogant when facing Maxim who now holds many important positions.

"Madam is here to talk to Miss Blois about your family's invasion of living zombies——"

"Hey! I told you not to be so formal!"

The secretary witch was habitually trying to explain Mrs. Maxim's purpose to Mrs. Maxim, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Maxim's gentle wave of his hand.

"Actually, it's like this... We just went to Cherbourg and met with Mr. Bill Weasley and others. It happened that we heard there that the head of the Blois family had returned from the disaster place in England.

, and as soon as I came back, I came here to meet my daughter, Miss Willy Blois... So, since it’s also on my way, I’ll just come over.”

"Oh, that's it." When the foreman heard this, he nodded immediately, leaned forward and said politely, "Yes, Mr. Patriarch has indeed been here before, but unfortunately, the Patriarch will soon

Left again."

After all, the Blois family's march into the Netherlands did not go through any trouble with Beauxbatons or the International Federation of Wizards. It could only be regarded as a completely private operation. Therefore, he naturally had no reason to reveal the whereabouts of his master to

The other party knows. Especially in this place very close to the front line, not only every move but also every word and deed needs to be cautious.

Of course Maxim also understood this truth, so she didn't ask anything, just thought about it and said:

"In this case... I wonder if we can wait here for your master to come back? You know, with the current war situation, we still have to find an opportunity to have a good talk."

Since the head of the Blois family did not stay at the border camp for too long, it indirectly means that the young lady from the Blois family is not here either. Although it can be roughly guessed that the other party must continue to go north into the Netherlands.

, and Mr. Blois must have chased after him, but Maxim had no intention of rashly taking the initiative to find someone again.

To be honest, a sudden visit here is considered a rather abrupt act.

At the same time, the guarding wizard on the opposite side paused for a moment after hearing the words, and then spoke again with some hesitation:

"Originally, the order given to us by Mr. Butler was that no one outside the family is allowed into the camp, but... after all, it is Mrs. Maxim, we can't let the current president of the Federation blow the cold wind outside the camp... Please wait a moment

Wait, I'll ask someone to ask Mr. Bertrand, the consul who is temporarily in charge of camp affairs."

"please!"

Maxim spread his hands, indicating that he could ask.

However, at the moment when the other party turned around to order her men, a sad look quickly flashed across her face - from Madame Maxime's standpoint, no matter in the past or now, the Blois family actually means a lot to her.

It's not even a help.

When he was the principal of Beauxbatons in France, the Blois family was the school's top investor.

Many people in the European wizarding world have heard about Nicolás Flamel and his wife's generous donation of large amounts of gold to their alma mater, and even greatly expanded the campus. However, no one knows that Beauxbatons was once a wartime fortress.

Since the war, most of the annual expenses have been supported by the Blois family.

Compared with the investments made over the years, the seemingly astonishing personal donations of Nico Lemay and his wife are nothing to mention.

However, what makes successive Beauxbatons principals feel fortunate is that although the entire school is almost equivalent to a private property of the Blois family, the Blois family has never meant to impose a director on the school.

gave Beauxbatons considerable freedom.

At least it is not like Hogwarts in the UK. Even if Albus Dumbledore is as prestigious as Albus Dumbledore, many of his ideas and plans will be difficult to implement smoothly once they are questioned and opposed by the majority of the school board.

However, the feeling of being caught between power and reality is always not so wonderful, and Maxim knows this very well.

And now, Maxim is half forced and half active to take the position of president of the International Federation of Wizards. Of course she is happy to fight behind the scenes to fight against the living corpses, but when she thinks about the people behind the federation,

There were still some forces secretly restraining her, and she felt a little nervous in her heart.

Because the Blois family still exists here.

To her, the largest family in France seems to be a huge shadow that is destined to be unavoidable no matter what. Especially in the current disaster, as someone who hopes to make more changes among the major forces, she will obviously have to do it sooner or later.

They all have to face this huge family that she has always been unable to figure out.

"In short, no matter what, if we want to win in this disaster, the bloated and egoistic power structure of the 'Wizard Family' should be banned... right?"

Maxim stood quietly and waited for the guard to ask the camp leader, while secretly muttering to himself. Unexpectedly, at the next moment, many figures suddenly appeared in the distant sky to the north, rushing here quickly.

"Madam, this is the team of the Blois family." The first secretary on the side reminded her in a low voice.
