In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

But as the principal of three magic schools in Europe, it stands to reason that Mrs. Maxim would never live in such a place and dress so ordinary.

Jon glanced around the environment in the cabin with doubts in his heart. The decoration here was very simple. It didn't look like a place for long-term residence, but more like a temporary refuge.

Madame Maxime didn't seem to pay much attention to Jon. After Dumbledore's introduction, she just nodded to Jon who greeted her, invited the two of them to sit down, and poured them a cup of tea.

"You should have seen the letter I wrote to you." Madame Maxime looked miserable, "I was dismissed from Beauxbatons."

Dumbledore did not touch the tea on the table, and his expression became a little solemn.

"So, I came here just to understand the reason."

Madame Maxime did not immediately explain, but turned to look at Jon.

"Since I brought him here with me, it means that I absolutely trust him, madam." Dumbledore said calmly.

The mixed-race giantess, who was already the former principal of Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, let out a long breath.

"Well, your decisions are always right most of the time." She stared into Dumbledore's eyes. "The Ministry of Magic sent someone to replace me. They said that I distorted students' minds and conducted incorrect practices on students. Education, kicked me out of that manor!”

Dumbledore frowned.

"Such a ridiculous charge?"

"Everyone thinks it's ridiculous!" Mrs. Maxim agreed. She looked very emotional. "I deny their testimony. All the teachers and students in the school can prove it for me. Booth under my management Barton has always only taught students magic, and he has never distorted any ideas at all, and I have no ideas to instill in them!"

"I asked them to provide evidence, otherwise I would never leave Beauxbatons like this, even if it was an order from the Ministry of Magic!"

"What then?" Dumbledore asked.

"Then." The excitement on Mrs. Maxim's face began to subside, her face began to turn pale, and her lips were trembling, as if she thought of some bad memories, "Then, they said, they said that I I am half a giant. I also produced evidence and said in front of the whole school that I concealed my life experience. As the principal of Beauxbatons, I was actually making profits for the giants in private, and I tried to whitewash the students' views of giants and distort them. their thoughts"

As if due to psychological effects, she felt that Dumbledore and Jon were looking at her with a dazzling look, and her eye circles were faintly red, and she said tremblingly.

"I swear! Albus, maybe there is something hidden about my bloodline, but I definitely didn't do what they said! I have always focused my energy on education, and I definitely didn't."

Dumbledore softly comforted the witch who was more than a meter taller than him.

"I know, I know, ma'am, of course you wouldn't do such a thing. We have to think about the reason why they are using your background as an excuse now." Dumbledore obviously would not despise Mrs. Maxim. Origin, "When you became the Headmaster of Beauxbatons, I believe your origin was already investigated by the French Ministry of Magic, but why are they bringing this matter up now, and why are you... dismiss."

Jon could tell that Dumbledore was trying to express his words as tactfully as possible to prevent the witch who was about to cry from breaking down.

"I don't know." Mrs. Maxim's voice was choked with sobs. Perhaps it was because the half-blood of a giant would make people's emotions simpler. She couldn't hide her sadness, "And not only did they put I was kicked out. After being expelled from Beauxbatons, they also restricted me to their home. They said that the Aurors were investigating my years as headmaster. If my charges were formalized, I would have violated wizarding laws. .”

"I felt something was wrong. I felt that no matter what the final result of the investigation was, they would arrest me in the end! So on the night when I wrote to you, I attacked several Aurors who were guarding me and ran away from home. Come out, now that the Ministry of Magic has issued a reward for me, they may find me here at any time!"

Dumbledore's frown deepened, and he obviously realized something.

"What did they do with the principal position after you left?"

"They parachuted a wizard over." Mrs. Maxim's tone was full of hatred. "I thought that even if I was kicked out, my vice principal would be elected as the interim principal, but they simply couldn't wait and directly Let a wizard no one has ever heard of be the headmaster."

"What's the wizard's name?"

"Ivan Gallas, I have never heard of this person before! He seemed to appear out of thin air and became the principal of Beauxbatons as soon as he appeared!"

Mrs. Maxim's tone was excited, as if she was trying to control her emotions, but she couldn't calm down.

"The French magical world has become a mess now. I have no idea what the Ministry of Magic is doing during this time!" Her voice was shockingly loud. "Some time ago, in order to eliminate dissidents, those people actually arrested many members of the family, and they also targeted Della. The Kuhl family has issued a wanted order!”

"Apolline Delacour escaped with her husband and eldest daughter. The younger daughter stayed at my house as a guest, so she had to be placed with me first. But those Aurors behind actually searched my house directly. They I knew the Delacour family's little daughter was hiding with me. I had no choice but to feed her a bottle of dead soul water, turn her into a ghost, and make the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic think she was dead!"

Madame Maxime looked sad and angry, and the Delacour family obviously had a close relationship with her.

"I wrote to call you here, and it was also for this matter. I can't stay in France myself, and I need your help, Albus, to take this girl away."

As she spoke, she took out a rose-red bow hairpin from the empty pocket of her robe. When she took out the hairpin, an illusory little girl about six or seven years old appeared timidly.

The girl's facial features were very delicate and she had long, smooth silver-white hair. But even if Jon had never seen a creature like a ghost, he could recognize her at the first sight. She was definitely a ghost!

As soon as the girl appeared, she hid behind Madam Maxime, only daring to reveal half of her face to peek at Jon and Dumbledore.

Dumbledore's face became a little ugly.

"The antidote to the dead soul water is not easy to prepare. If she is unlucky, she may never become a human again and will only be a ghost forever."
