harry potter book of crimes

"Miss Granger, seeing that the Resistance Alliance is once again active on the front line of fighting against disasters, leading so many brave people to fight for the survival of mankind. As one of the people who helped Miss Granger found it, I, It’s a real honor.”

In Hermione's temporary office with simple furnishings, the old butler was sitting calmly as a guest.

Well, it is said to be a guest seat, but in fact it is just a lonely armchair.

In fact, even Hermione only had an ordinary desk to work on - it was currently filled with various documents and was obviously not suitable for entertaining guests.

However, even in such a simple environment, the old butler's temperament that has long penetrated into the bones is still visible to the naked eye. Whenever he is around, people will always feel extremely comfortable, even uneasy and anxious. It seemed as if the post had been smoothed out by ironing.

"Don't say that," Hermione looked at the other person and said, "Mr. Housekeeper is not just a simple helper. If he hadn't been there to help, Mrs. Maxim and I wouldn't have been able to make it stand firm. Mr. One of the founders, this is something that almost everyone in the league knows today."

"Oh, I don't remember that I have ever done such a great thing!" the old butler said with a smile, "What's more, the resistance alliance that has been reactivated now is far from the one that was only used to test the attitudes of all parties. It's a temporary organization, and it has nothing to do with me..."

The old gentleman said this, and seeing that Hermione seemed to want to correct him again, he waved his hand at her.

"Don't dwell on this trivial matter," he said, "Besides, I don't want to get out of it. Just like this proactive counterattack plan proposed and led by Miss Granger, I, and I The master behind the scenes actually agrees very much...otherwise, I would not have appeared in front of the young lady today."

When Hermione heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Mr. Butler, you mean-"

"Yes," the old housekeeper said with a smile and a gentle nod, "Although Mr. Patriarch is not here, my visit already represents Mr. Patriarch's attitude - Miss Granger must also know that, in fact, I am too I had just separated from my young lady not long ago and hurried back home. I was originally there to listen to the master of the house's views on the current situation. Speaking of which, the master of the house thought very highly of your previous decision, Miss Granger. Especially The fact that I gained the friendship of those intelligent zombies is truly a far-sighted move."

"Oh, I just..." Hermione couldn't help but smile and said, "I just think that since they have wisdom and self-esteem, and have the same feelings as us, they should no longer be enemies. And at that time , Rebes and the others also happened to show their desire to coexist peacefully with us humans... This can only be said to be like this naturally, right? At least I don't feel that I have exerted much effort to deliberately promote this. Something.”

Although she said that, she actually knew in her heart that becoming friends with those intelligent zombies headed by Rebes would definitely bring benefits and no harm.

Let’s not talk about forward-looking things. After all, who knows what will happen in the future? But even if we just look at the present, how much help she has received after the help of those high-level zombies? This is almost obvious.

However, there are some things that Hermione, at least, doesn't want to be so snobbish about. If everything is viewed from the perspective of seeking benefits, then even the purest friendship seems to have suddenly changed.

"Oh, I was rude, Miss Granger." The old butler had been a housekeeper for decades, and he immediately noticed Hermione's thoughts, "But please don't take it too seriously. In fact, most of the time

, there is no conflict between whether there is any benefit and whether to do it. Just like this matter, the lady just happened to get the benefit after doing it - this does not prove on the contrary, 'give someone a rose and leave something in your hand'

The roses ihe flavor in mine?"

"Uh... um." Hermione thought for a moment, then nodded.

On the other side, after comforting Hermione, the old butler continued: "Well, I think we should take advantage of this excitement to talk about business!"

"...Is it something about the United States?"

Hermione's expression perked up, thinking that the important point was finally coming.

However, the next moment, the old housekeeper shook his head gently and said to her:

"Well, actually, I know what the young lady is concerned about - after all, this is what Mr. Black and his party were doing when they went to see the head of the family! But I have to say that the Stewart family is planning something right now.

What small thoughts are actually not that important. At least, it is far from being as bad as the young lady imagined... These are the original words of the head of the family."

"Not important?" Hermione looked very shocked when she heard this, "If what John Stewart said is true, it means that we are in danger of being stabbed deeply in the back at any time!

And according to my speculation, what he said is very likely to be true!"

"Yes!" The old housekeeper nodded, "That is indeed the case. The Stewart family has gone astray, and it has been like this a long time ago... But, Miss, based on your understanding of the existence of 'living corpses', do you think

The Stewart family...can they really easily transform humans into living corpses in batches?"

"this……"

"Perhaps they have indeed achieved something," the old butler continued. "Relying on their long-standing research on the 'Oscurials' that have many similarities with them, and their silence for such a long time after the disaster, the Stewart family

There must be something in my hands. But I don’t believe that they can achieve anything big - neither does the family leader. You know, it is the product of Haierbo who has spent a lot of effort in every possible way and relied on the devil summoning technique.

, the Stewarts want to make it artificially through other methods? Is it that simple?"

At this point, Hermione was still silent, but saw the old butler suddenly change the topic again.

"Of course," he frowned, "more importantly, the opponent before us now is not something that a mere Stuart family who has gone astray can match. 'Witch Kern' is

In fact, after learning this name from Mr. Black, the head of the family looked through the books in the library of the Blois family and found some... records that made us feel not good...

...I heard that the young lady plans to go to Hogwarts Castle? I think that after hearing this clue, the young lady had better think about it more..."
