Chapter 1779 Old Knowledge

For Belgium, the threat is almost at hand.

Facing the fog on the other side of the strait, De Quinn has been helpless recently, and he is not even in the mood to mention many magic school affairs that are always on the lips.

It must be said that as a minister of the Ministry of Magic, she is still very capable in terms of ability-since the chaotic era caused by Greenwald ended, the previous ministers of the Ministry of Magic in Belgium have basically been more than conservative and not enough. After so many years, it can barely be regarded as a slight recovery from the lowest state... Of course, it is only "some".

But after De Quinn took office, he not only raised money and reduced expenditure to build a wizarding school, but also used it to attract investment from many forces. The bustling street scene that Hermione felt before would never be seen before her successor.

It can be said that Belgium has a tendency to re-prosper in recent years.

However, although De Quinn is good at internal governance, he is not good at dealing with external crises. Especially... This turned out to be a catastrophe in which the ancient dark wizards revived and rebelled.

Even if she still has some hidden "means" that are not very visible, it is impossible to deal with the attack of the fog and the army of living corpses. Not to mention, there was a cold-blooded and cruel "Despicable Haierbo" standing behind him.

"Tut Tuk."

Suddenly, there were two familiar knocks on the door—it was her secretary.

"Please come in."

Before the words were finished, the door of the office was opened, and a young woman in a black formal suit came in from the outside and stood still at the door.

"Minister, Mrs. Olim Maxim, the headmaster of Beauxbatons, is visiting. She is waiting for you in the reception room now."

"Madame Maxime?"

De Quinn pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and after pursing his lips for a moment, he finally nodded.

"I see, please wait for a while... No, I'd better go here! You wait outside for a while, I will come out right away."

After the young secretary heard it, he didn't say anything more, but retreated directly with considerable insight. Without De Quinn's reminder, she immediately closed the door behind her.

Watching the secretary leave the office,

Only then did De Quinn pick up the magic wand placed by the table, and pointed lightly at a cabinet door behind him. The next moment, with the sound of the lock snapping open, the cabinet door opened automatically, and a golden key floated out from inside.

De Quin reached out slightly and grabbed the key in his hand.

Immediately afterwards, she just pushed the door of the cabinet casually, and then walked directly to the door—the magic cabinet with a lock obviously only stored such a key, and there was nothing else.

"Let's go!"

Opening the door, De Quinn greeted the secretary, and then went to the reception room first.

...

Hermione was sitting on a comfortable sofa chair at the moment, and the old butler was sitting next to her. The two of them didn't say anything after they came here and sat down. They just admired the reception room Tapestry decoration in .

Belgian tapestries are quite famous. In the past, many big families from other countries would send people to buy them, and then take them back to decorate their castles and manors.

As for Mrs. Maxim... No matter how much she usually refuses to admit her blood, at this time, her extraordinarily tall figure becomes more and more obvious. Hermione and the old butler sat on the kind of single sofa chair that she definitely couldn't fit in. Fortunately, the staff of the Ministry of Magic who was in charge of entertaining them got a double sofa in advance, which saved Madam Maxim from asking to change the chair on the spot. embarrassing situation.

"You three, please have some tea...the minister will be here soon. And before that, please rest for a while to relieve the fatigue from the journey."

Beauxbaton's rune horse and carriage flew smoothly and fast, so naturally it would not cause any so-called "fatigue", and if he chose the Apparition spell, he would not need to rest. But even if it's just polite words, it can well express the other party's thoughtful care, which is of course very comfortable to hear.

However, apart from the old butler with the calmest mind, Hermione and Madame Maxime were obviously somewhat absent-minded. They just nodded slightly to express their gratitude, but they were all thinking about their own things in their hearts.

"Harry and the others don't know if they are in any danger." Hermione muttered to herself.

Although most of the reconnaissance operations were planned by her, worry was still indispensable. If it wasn't for her own tasks to complete, in fact, she hoped to replace Harry and the others and go back to England to find out.

And at the same time that Hermione was secretly worried, there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor outside. Soon, Hermione only heard a slight knock on the door, and a figure pushed the door open and entered.

"Is this Ms. DeQuinn?"

In fact, it can be seen at first glance that De Quinn is obviously no longer young, and the ruthless years have carved many marks on her face. But even so, everyone can still see her former beauty.

Just as Hermione was thinking, Madam Maxime stood up and greeted her.

"De Quinn, it's been a long time... I remember that after you graduated, the number of times we met was much less. The last time I saw you, it seemed that it was at the wedding dinner of your youngest sister, Mirielle..."

Madam Maxim was very enthusiastic. After all, she was De Quinn's assistant professor when he was in Beauxbatons.

At that time, Maxim was actually still very young, and De Quin was not only excellent in academics when he was a student, but also very kind to others, and never had any resistance to Maxim's "huge" figure.

So even after graduation, the two have their own pursuits and achievements, and they often communicate with each other to maintain communication between friends.

However, perhaps it is precisely because of this pure friendship that even if De Quinn encounters difficult things to deal with, he has never wanted to bother him. At the same time, Mrs. Maxim basically has the same idea.

But this time, in the face of a huge disaster, it is obviously impossible to fight alone.

Therefore, Mrs. Maxime was the first to think of this most trustworthy friend in her heart—even though the two hadn't met directly for a long time, she knew that De Quinn must be reliable.

Of course, there was actually another more important reason why Maxim came to her first.

"Come on, De Quinn, let me introduce you—" Madame Maxime suddenly gestured towards the old butler and Hermione, "I think you must know this one, the butler of the French Blois family Sir, he can often be seen on many important occasions; and this one is currently Ms. Hermione Granger from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft... You should know that she is representing the Mr. Maca McLean."
