harry potter book of crimes

In the Beauxbatons auditorium, a discussion on inheritance distribution began just after lunch, with participants vying to speak. However, the meeting started a little faster than expected, but ended too.

Also incredibly fast.

The whole meeting only took about two or three hours from beginning to end, and Mrs. Maxim had to temporarily stop it and explained that the follow-up meeting would start again soon.

There is no way, those many forces all have their own reasons, and while they express their opinions, there will be some small frictions from time to time. If no one stops them, they will have to set up a wizard duel on the spot.

Of course, it’s not certain whether there will really be a fight - the group of guys who are constantly arguing may seem reckless, but in fact they are all smart people. How can there really be a fight?

But to be honest, if no one has an overwhelming power advantage, it is absolutely impossible for a meeting like this to come up with a result that everyone can accept.

At this moment, Maka, who had just finished the meeting, was walking on the path in the garden. He breathed in the fresh floral-scented air, admired the colorful flowers around him, and couldn't help but feel comfortable for a while.

"Sir, why didn't you speak just now?" Fanny, who was following him, asked, "Is it because you knew that today would turn out like this?"

"No, how could I have expected that it would be so noisy in the auditorium like before?" Maka explained, "I just understand that such a world-class inheritance distribution will definitely not happen in a day or two.

A conclusion can be drawn. Today is just the beginning..."

He said, paused for a moment, then spread his hands again and continued:

"And you see, Mrs. Maxim once again mentioned the alchemy competition. She probably wants those families and various other forces to gradually get used to this proposal, so that she can formally propose a plan for allocating the competition in the future.

They just need to be mentally prepared when they come out."

"So...are you planning to take over the venue rights for the event to gain more dominance?" Fanny said thoughtfully, "Well, Nico Flamel's alchemical legacy...

It’s really tempting to think about it…”

"Well, there may be a method for refining the magic stone in the inheritance... Who knows!" Maka shrugged, "But whether it exists or not, everyone has to treat it as 'there'

Something. Otherwise, if you miss it, you will regret it."

"The elixir of life...?" Fanny pursed her lips and sighed with some regret, "I don't know if it is really 'immortal'... but it was made by Mr. Nico Flamel"

When, what age is it?"

Compared with "immortality", Fanny seems to care more about the effect of "immortality". Regarding this, Maka couldn't help but shake her head secretly - even this beautiful workaholic will still inevitably worry about appearance and youth!

"You can ask the old steward later," Maka said with a smile, "If you can't find a chance, I can also find time to ask for you... But as for the magic stone, I don't actually have it.

It's as eager as others. In fact, I'm just here for the venue rights this time. As for the 'dominant force' you mentioned, I don't have that much interest in it."

The more he studied magic in depth, the more he understood the wonder of life. There are great mysteries hidden between life and death, and death may be a door that leads wizards to explore more fundamental magic. This is what Dumbledore

Use one more opportunity to watch and convey what Maka knows.

That world is what all enlightened wizards yearn for, so much so that Grindelwald tried to follow it, even at the cost of causing extremely terrible disasters.

It is precisely because of this that Maka knew in advance another direction that she could reach in the future.

However, as most people feel, death will always make people afraid. Even if they may not be afraid, they will still stay at the feet of death out of nostalgia for this world.

Therefore, everyone wants to obtain a magic stone like Nico Flamel, so that their lives can continue as if there is no limit.

Of course, Maka hasn't lived enough yet, but there is still a lot of life that belongs to him that has not been spent! Now, he will not show extreme fanaticism because of a magic stone, because he wants to be with Dumbledore more.

Like Lido, he tried to cross the line called death himself.

Look at Nico Flamel and his wife, didn’t they choose to give up eternal life in the end? Although no one knows the truth about why they made such a decision, in any case, it is a sign that the Flamel couple took the initiative to die.

This is a fact - this is what Dumbledore himself said back then.

Living things die as soon as they are born, and Maka cannot explain the reason yet, but it seems that facing death head-on is the most correct thing in the end.

Therefore, whether the method of making the magic stone can be obtained in the end, let it take its course!

Fanny found it quite incredible that Maka had such thoughts. Let me ask, who would not care about immortality and extreme wealth?

But this is Maka's business after all, and what he decides is naturally up to him.

Fanny just thought about it and put this matter aside for the time being. Because she suddenly remembered a question in her heart, and now the two of them were walking in the garden, which was a good time to ask.

"Mr. Maclean, I heard... you and Miss were classmates at Hogwarts, right?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

Maka couldn't help but be a little confused after hearing this, not knowing why she suddenly asked this.

"Then... what do you think of Miss..." Fanny said, but paused for a moment, "No, I mean... what do you think of Willie? What do you think of her?"

"Uh...how about what?"

Maca suddenly felt a little strange. If this kind of question came from Mr. Blois, there would be nothing surprising. After all, she was his precious daughter. But if Fanny asked it, it would seem a bit sudden.

He still remembered that when Mr. Blois introduced Fanny to him, he mentioned that this young housekeeper seemed to have left the family a long time ago and went out to develop. The relationship between her and Willie

I'm afraid the relationship is not close enough to ask about these things, right?

This Fanny is extremely serious at work, even a bit rigid, and does not seem like an abrupt character.

"Sorry, Mr. MacLean." Fanny hesitated again, and then said softly, "I know it's a bit sudden to ask this, but I still want to trouble you to tell you... The head of the family has always been worried about Willy's future.

, I don’t know if I can find someone to entrust my life to.”

"Mr. Blois asked you to ask that?" Maka glanced at her and asked hesitantly.

"No, it's not like that..." Fanny immediately shook her head and said, "This is not part of my mission this time, it is a question of my own. In fact, many people in the family are worried about this. Willie

She has not been talkative since she was a child, and she has never had a single friend. She can’t even smile...There have always been rumors in the family that Willie was possessed by some kind of black magic..."

Maka had heard Willy mention some things in the past. She thought that this blood curse was not suitable to be explained to others, so very few people knew the actual situation. However, she did not expect that even within the Blois family, there were just some strange rumors.

.

"Well...it's a pity that I am Willie's friend, but it's just a friend." Maka stopped and said seriously, "There has never been the possibility between me and her that you imagined.

.”

"Really?" Fanny pursed her lips and sighed vaguely, "If that's the case, then there's nothing we can do about it. It's just a pity... I hugged Willie a few times when she was a child! I was still thinking about it at the time.

, finally there is a girl younger than me in the family..."

Her feelings towards Willy were probably the same as towards her own sister. A sister who is delicate and beautiful but is burdened with many regrets will always make her, as a sister, feel pity for her.

What's rare is that many years after she left Chateau Blois, she still thinks about her sister Willy.

"Actually, Mr. Blois has asked me to try to solve Willie's trouble this time," Maka comforted, "I will do my best for this. Will Willie become a normal girl?

, I think it’s worth looking forward to.”

"Solve it?" Fanny asked quickly, "Mr. MacLean, do you know the reason why Willy became like that?"

Regarding her question, Maka did not answer casually.

"Actually, Mr. Blois also knows, doesn't he?" he said, "He asked me to solve this matter first. If you want to know the specific situation, I think it is better for you to ask him... I can

I’m not qualified to reveal it on his behalf.”

"Master...?" Fanny was stunned, "Okay... then, I won't ask any more questions. Thank you for explaining this to me, Mr. McLean."

Seeing that she saluted him and seemed to be returning to work mode, Maka immediately waved her hand.

"I'm serious, you don't need to be so reserved here! If possible, I still hope you can be more casual. This will be a kind of relaxation for both of us."

"No, how can this be done?" Fanny said seriously, "For me, this is work, a task given by the family."

Seeing her persistence, Maka could only sigh secretly.

He said nothing more, raised his legs and continued walking forward. In the distance, he caught a glimpse of the outline of a striking silhouette, which was obviously the fat young man from the Hohenheim family. Just look at his panic-stricken look.

, it seems like something interesting happened again.
