Under normal circumstances, Maka was actually a very thick-skinned guy. He didn't show any concern for the gazes gathered around him, and walked straight to the main entrance of Beauxbatons Castle calmly.

The person who got out of the car behind him was, of course, the housekeeper, Miss Fanny Blois.

Fanny's unique family robe is easy to distinguish because it has exquisite silk embroidery adapted from the coat of arms of the Blois family, which can be seen clearly from a long distance.

As a result, the wizards in the front garden immediately set their sights on Fanny, who was following in Maka's footsteps. Among them were French magic circles, as well as wizards from other countries.

The Blois family is the leading wizarding family in France. The power of a family alone is already able to establish itself at the highest level in the global magic world. Wizarding families like this will be treated with caution, both at home and abroad.

It’s not that there aren’t forces more powerful than the Blois family present, but for a big force like them that has developed to such an extent, no one is willing to have unnecessary disputes with other top forces. No matter whether it’s Ming Dao Ming or Ming Dao Ming.

Fighting with each other, or dealing with each other in secret, will impose varying degrees of burden on the daily operation of the force.

However, when they saw the members of the Blois family following Namaka McLean like followers, many people suddenly started to murmur in their hearts.

How did these two families get together? Is the situation a little bad?

It is usually not surprising to form cliques in power disputes. It can be said that behind every power that gradually becomes stronger, they have experienced this kind of choice more or less. They are either active or passive, and maybe even

There are some conspiracies and tricks to drive away wolves and tigers, and prosperity and decline are sometimes just a matter of thoughts.

However, it is very rare for forces at the level of Hogwarts and the Blois family to support each other.

Often the more solid and profound a power is, the more cautious it will be. No one wants to lose all the advantages accumulated by their predecessors if they are not careful when they are in charge of their own affairs.

What's more, these two major forces have maintained a very low-key behavior in recent years. Why did they come together so arrogantly this time?

For a time, many active wizards began to use their brains, wondering if they should also cooperate with others? At least for this time, there are quite a few forces gathered in Beauxbatons.

To obtain sufficient benefits from this opportunity, it may not be that interesting to rely on yourself.

No matter what other people were thinking, Maka just walked slowly and calmly on the stone road in the middle of the garden, as if she was unaware of the various sights, and soon passed the main entrance of the castle, in the sight of those wizards.

Disappeared.

It can be seen that Nick Flamel's legacy is undoubtedly a huge temptation. If nothing else, just a method of making the magic stone that has most likely been recorded is enough to make wizards all over the world drool.

DC.

Everyone understands that if this thing is really made public, it will be a huge waste. Of course, the so-called "waste" refers to their respective forces.

Speaking of the Sorcerer's Stone, Maka used this thing to fool the Werther family to which Charlotte belonged. Now that Voldemort has really fallen to the ground, he can't say when the other party will suddenly appear in front of him.

.

It can be said that the wizards of the Werther family may come to him for the Philosopher's Stone at any time, and it is not impossible even to show up directly at Beauxbatons this time.

The news of Maca's arrival at Beauxbatons spread quickly. Not long after he entered the foyer, the tall Madame Maxime walked out of the innermost door of the foyer.

"McLean, goodbye last time, long time no see."

Madame Maxime is still so noble, paying attention to etiquette and manners in every move she makes. This is exactly the feeling Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has always given people.

It can be seen from the fact that she did not add a title like "Mr." after Maka's last name. Her previous experience with the giant tribe made her no longer regard Maka as an ordinary guest.

"Good morning, madam." Maka smiled politely at the other party, "Before I set off this time, Hagrid asked me to say hello to you! If he didn't have to teach the students, I would miss him.

I must have followed you here today."

"Oh," Mrs. Maxim covered her mouth and said with a smile, "I will try my best to find time to go to Hogwarts to bother me. I believe I won't make him wait any longer... Remember to ask him to prepare some more single malt whiskey, just like last time

That brand he got during the Tri-finals - the rune horses in our school all seem to like it!"

"Of course, of course!" Maka nodded repeatedly, "Hagrid understands the thoughts of magical creatures very well. It is the right thing to let him take care of those little ones."

Chatting about family matters and reminiscing about old times in public places is one of the essential abilities for socializing. Although most of these conversations are ordinary and often even boring to unsuspecting observers, there is something in them.

It often contains certain information that both parties want to convey.

Maca and Madame Maxime had just met, and they confirmed their respective intentions during this gossip. What they were talking about was the alchemy competition that might be officially promoted next.

In fact, it is not certain where this competition will be held. Theoretically, except Beauxbatons who need to avoid suspicion, it can be held anywhere.

But there were three parties that ultimately decided on the venue.

The first force is naturally the International Federation of Wizards. This parliamentary organization composed of many national forces is the largest neutral organization in the world of magic. Many laws and regulations recognized by everyone were born from this organization;

The second force is the butler of Nick Flamel's family - Mr. Edward Flamel. This old butler who has been loyal to the Flamel family from beginning to end will serve as the final interpreter of this public event of the inheritance.

It can be said to be the center of the entire incident;

As for the last person who could decide the venue of the event, it should have been Albus Dumbledore, Mr. Nick Flamel's rare good friend during his lifetime. But now, Dumbledore has also passed away...

As a result, this decision-making power finally lost its ownership. Because of this, major forces came one after another to try to get a foot in the door.

Of course, on the surface, those forces came here under the guise of participating in the competition.

Now that Mrs. Maxim mentioned going to Hogwarts as a guest, she naturally wanted to tell Maka that she had officially agreed to cooperate with each other.

After reaching a tacit understanding with Mrs. Maxim, Maka stretched out her hand behind her to signal.

"This is Miss Fanny Blois, a promising steward of the Blois family." He introduced with a smile, "Miss Blois came with me this time, but she didn't have any special meaning -

—She has heard about the beautiful palace of Beauxbatons Castle for a long time and has always wanted to visit it!"

At this point, Maka paused for a moment, but then continued: "Oh, by the way! On the way here today, she also said she wanted to go to Hogwarts to have a look! If Madam can come with her then,

Professor McGonagall will definitely be very happy to come as a guest!"

When Maka said these words, Fanny behind him still only had a formulaic smile. Even though she had never said anything similar, she remained unmoved, as if she really

It seems like I mentioned it before.

Regarding the professional abilities of this heroic female steward, Maka couldn't help but secretly nod.

"Oh, that sounds pretty good," Mrs. Maxim said happily, "Well...McLean, you must be a little tired after coming from a long distance. I'll let someone take you to choose a guest room to stay! Fleur-"

She said, turned around and shouted, and then Maka saw the familiar figure.

"McLean, please!"

The power of the Veela hybrid is undeniable. Although it somehow doesn't seem to have much effect on Maka, just looking at the gazes of the males in the hall, the number of people turning around is simply incredible.

At the invitation of the other party, Maka and Fanny followed together.

"Miss Delacour," Maka asked curiously as she walked away, "If I remember correctly, you should have graduated, right?"

Fleur walked in front, and when she heard Maka ask this, she turned back and smiled at him.

"Our system at Beauxbatons is different from yours at Hogwarts," she said. "After graduation, if students are willing to continue studying with a specific professor, they can submit an application for further study. I plan to go deeper.

Learn Legilimency and get a position as an inspector with the French Ministry of Magic."

"Oh, that sounds like it might be suitable for you." Maka said suddenly, "I remember that the core of your wand was your grandmother's hair - it takes a very keen mind to use Veela's hair as the core of the wand.

heart."

"Do you still remember this?" Fleur was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Is Mr. MacLean interested in me?"

After Maka heard this, she shrugged indifferently.

"I just have a good memory!"

He brushed off the joke lightly.

Probably feeling the distance that Maka kept deliberately, Fleur stopped chasing and joking. She led the way, and after passing a long corridor and a staircase, she quickly led Maka to a door.

forward.

"This is the room the principal prepared for you, but we didn't expect you to bring a lady with you -" Fleur looked at Fanny who had been following Maka, "Miss Blois, if you don't

If you mind, we do have some spare guest rooms, but they may be a bit small! Look-"
