The wind in Cherbourg picked up again, making the flags on the quay whistle.

The union logo on the flag looks a little distorted when the flag is swaying in the wind. If you look at it for a long time, you will even start to wonder whether it is like this.

Recently, many people have come to the camp, including Muggles and wizards. Since it is rare to get together in such a group, they naturally communicate with each other, but obviously, these are still considered in their respective worlds.

There are respectable people above, but communication doesn't seem to be smooth.

Even in today's environment, the cooperation between wizards and ordinary people has become inevitable and necessary.

Today, when all the people invited by Maxim as the current president of the International Federation of Wizards have almost arrived, another magnificent-looking sailing ship suddenly appeared in the nearby harbor.

The sea surface made the staff on the dock and some of the invited guests who were relaxing hand in hand at the port subconsciously whisper to each other.

There is no doubt that it is a magic ship, and... no matter who the people are on it, you can tell by looking at the style of the ship that its background is definitely not simple!

Just as the sailboat entered the port, as a few people hurried back to report the news, more and more people gathered on the dock. In the end, even Madame Maxime appeared here - because the person who rushed to inform her

The federation employee has identified the origin of this large ship.

"Yes, it is indeed the coat of arms of the Rossi family."

Madame Maxime, who was standing among the subordinates, looked at the shield-shaped symbol hanging on the bow side of the ship and nodded slightly. Although her expression did not change, there was a vague expression in her eyes.

It showed a little dignity.

To be honest, she had not expected that the three major families would send people to this funeral. After all, she thought that the three major families would definitely disdain this kind of gimmick and basically just wishful thinking.

Not to mention sending people specially to participate.

However, the arrival of this magic ship belonging to the Rossi family clearly broke Maxim's judgment of the three major families - this was obviously a special trip to attend the funeral! If only for other reasons

, there is no need to specially prepare such a ship.

Here Maxim was thinking secretly, and the big ship over there finally docked steadily, and the side ramp was lowered.

Then, at the focus of many eyes on the pier, the first figure disembarking from the boat suddenly appeared.

"Who is that? Anyone you know, please tell me——"

"It's Miss Granger!"

"who?"

"Granger, Hermione Granger! Have you ever heard of anyone introducing the name of this camp? It is named after Miss Granger, who established this camp."

"Oh, no wonder I feel like I've heard it somewhere..."

"Ah! But the reason why you feel familiar is probably not this - the Wizards' Resistance Alliance has gained momentum some time ago. In addition to President Maxim, Miss Granger seems to be one of the three founders.

One! I guess it sounds familiar to you because you heard about it."

"Oh oh oh, yes, it seems true when you say that. After all, although the resistance alliance seemed to have disintegrated and reorganized very quickly, it can also be regarded as the predecessor of the current federation coalition led by Mrs. Maxim..."

Similar low-pitched conversations intertwined among the people on the pier, forming a faint buzz. And in the midst of this whispered gaze, Hermione led Hannah, Neville and others from the gangway one after another.

Go down.

Ron and Ginny, who went to pick them up, were naturally among them. In fact, they also received a lot of attention this time. After all, not long ago, the two siblings and Sirius had gathered many guests.

There was a minor disturbance in the camp.

"Hey! That Miss Granger, and the people behind her... Judging from their expressions, it seems... they seem to be coming with bad intentions, right?"

After paying attention for a while, I don't know who muttered something like this, which received soft approval from many people. At the same time, it also made the guests at the pier look at Hermione and others with more doubts and looks.

But soon, many eyes began to shift again, because behind Hermione and other friends, another group of figures began to enter everyone's field of vision.

The identities and origins of these people were unknown to many of the invited guests present. The faces felt very strange to them, and there seemed to be no clues at all from their memories.

However, none of these wizards and Muggles, who are usually famous in their respective fields, would think that the other party is a group of insignificant people.

The first thing that appeared was a group of knights on Pegasus - they lined up neatly and took off from the deck of the ship that was invisible to the guests on the pier, escorting several people in costumes.

The burly figures in fur-collared wizard robes appeared and landed in formation on both sides of the gangway.

Following closely, a group of wizards wearing ivory white robes with gold trim slowly disembarked from the ship under the leadership of an old man with white beard and white hair.

As for the approximately ten or so men and women in cross-dressing who came down at the end, they were so inconspicuous compared to the first two groups of impressive people that most people regarded them as just followers on the ship.

Ignored.

However, Madame Maxime, who was watching all this closely, would not miss a single face.

"Except for the very old man from the Matusievich family, the other two heads of the three major families are all here? This..."

This is not unexpected. For Maxim, this is simply incomprehensible! You know, before the three major families notified the Federation to take over the Eastern Defense Line of the Second Battlefield, they only sent a phoenix.

I sent a letter to her!

They...are all here to attend this funeral?

Maxim could no longer understand the current situation. After being stunned for a while, she subconsciously turned her focus to Hermione and the others at the front. Because she soon realized that since Hermione and the others were riding this

They came by ship, so the occurrence of this scene is probably related to them.

After hesitating for a moment, Maxim did not show his shock and hesitation, but chose to push away the guests, and took the initiative to greet him among the curious eyes of many pairs of eyes——

She is the president of the International Federation of Wizards and the organizer of the upcoming "Hero's Funeral". Even if she is not willing at the moment, she can only bite the bullet and take it.

"It's really, really bad." She thought to herself.
