Three secret letters detailing the sudden changes in London were sent to three different places through the hands of Sirius, who was good at concealment and long-distance travel. One letter was given to Madame Maxime, who had the overall situation in mind and high ambitions.

A letter to Professor McGonagall, who is both wise and courageous and equal in fraternity, and a letter to the head of the Blois family, who is powerful and profound in magic.

These are the three candidates that Hermione decided on after much deliberation on her way away from London. Maka's dramatic change in stance is obviously not something that can be mentioned to everyone, so she must be careful when deciding on the candidates. So she

After careful consideration, I chose these three people who have extraordinary status and influence and are trustworthy enough.

However, with such a major event involving the entire European situation, even with Hermione's intelligence, it was difficult to foresee how these three letters would change after they left her hands.

…

In fact, only one of Hermione's three letters did not deviate from her expectations.

After all, they were like-minded "allies" who jointly established the Resistance Alliance. After receiving the letter hand-delivered by Sirius and reading it carefully, although Mrs. Maxim was shocked by the news in her heart, she quickly understood

And accepted Hermione's idea.

Facing the second battlefield where the situation was getting more and more out of control, and facing those extremely terrifying zombie armies, Madame Maxime, who always insisted on working day and night on the home front to control the war situation, understood that those Hermione and others had unexpectedly achieved something in the UK.

As long as the cooperative zombie group is properly deployed, it will become the greatest help to stabilize the already precarious second battlefield!

Therefore, Maxim did not think about it for too long, and Sirius already got a reply letter from her to Hermione before he even left.

But I never imagined that Hermione's good luck with these three letters would end here.

Especially the second letter, not to mention Hermione herself, even Sirius who delivered the letter thought that this should have been the smoothest of the three trips. Professor McGonagall has always been very concerned about Hermione who went to the disaster site in England.

Others are extremely concerned about them. While she is worried about everyone, she has always given these children the greatest recognition and support from behind.

And Hermione has always known in her heart that Professor McGonagall always approves of her ideas - they have always been the same kind of people!

But Hermione would never have thought that Professor McGonagall did not show much reaction after reading the letter sent by Sirius. She did not even give Sirius any verbal reply, but just

After expressing sincerely, but obviously with reservations, that he had indeed received it, Sirius was allowed to set off again.

"Is Professor McGonagall's change in attitude... related to the slugs?"

Before leaving the Italian community where the teachers and students of Hogwarts lived with doubts, they had already learned from Ron and others that Severus Sis had also appeared at Buckingham Palace at that time, but had not seen him this time.

Nap made him have some guesses.

However, although Professor McGonagall's attitude was strange, it was not enough to make Sirius linger in Italy because of the entanglement in his heart. The other party's wisdom and the calmness and naturalness he showed when facing him were enough to make him

While puzzled, I realized that this wise and courageous current headmistress of Hogwarts must also have her own considerations.

But the attitude shown by the recipient of the third letter after that, that is, the third letter he wanted to send during this trip, really made him confused——

"Click, click, click..."

The beautifully carved vertical clock on the wall is ticking, the black tea on the table is filled with mellow fragrance, the green and dense branches and leaves outside the window are gently swaying with the breeze, and an unknown person is in the picture frame on the wall.

The hall was very quiet, but it was not a depressing silence, but a bit of leisurely tranquility.

It was noon on the third day after Sirius said goodbye to Harry and others at the port warehouse in Calais, France. Although he tried not to delay as much as possible when sending the first two letters, it still took a lot of effort.

——The time was actually mainly spent on Mrs. Maxim, because he had to wait for the other party to write a reply on the spot, while on the other hand, Professor McGonagall, who did not go well, was politely rejected rather neatly.

But in the current Blois family mansion, although he has not yet seen the real owner...or rather because he has not been able to see the real owner yet, Sirius feels that it may take more time.

.

Sirius, who had been traveling behind the front lines of various battlefields and recently learned a lot about things from Harry and others, was honestly feeling a little irritable.

It's a pity that he can't show it yet.

This is the current main residence of the Blois family, and for this French wizard family, which is even more powerful than the Black family in its most prosperous period, but is still self-denying and trustworthy, even he, who has always been unruly, knows that it is necessary to ask the other party

Have some respect.

So after being politely and courteously invited by a deacon to sit down in this side hall, all he could do was to wait patiently and even more patiently.

The Blois family has given enough help to the teachers and students of Hogwarts, to the frontline war, and even to the disaster-stricken countries in Europe. Naturally, it deserves everyone's respect.

However, as he watched the sun gradually setting outside the window, and the colorful stalls were sprinkled with golden red, Sirius, who had been waiting patiently and silently, finally saw the deacon who had led him the way before reappearing in front of him.

"The master of the house has returned. He invites you to go to the study to talk."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you to lead the way again."

Sirius was not sure whether the so-called "just came back" was just an excuse, but since the other party was willing to invite him over, then his nearly whole afternoon's waiting was finally worthwhile.

Following the deacon, Sirius left the side hall and walked along the corridor outside, and soon climbed the stairs to the third floor of the mansion.

When the deacon signaled him to wait in front of a certain door and then knocked on the door, Sirius didn't waste time and stepped in when the other party extended his hand to invite him.

"Mr. Blois, Miss Hermione Granger has asked me to deliver a letter to you - there has been a drastic change in the British disaster area, and it is related to Maka McClain. I believe... you will

Want to know more?"

After seeing the tall figure standing in front of the bookcase, Sirius immediately spoke and revealed the only purpose of his trip.

But soon, he saw the other party calmly shaking his head.

"I think that's not necessary."
