Chapter 1982 "A Good Thing"
Delphi was familiar with "Monsieur Blois".
That's right, even the "Mr. Blois" in memory is always somewhat different from the one in reality. But in the final analysis, Mr. Blois is still Mr. Blois, and there seems to be no difference in essence.
In the hazy memories that seemed to be real, and Delphi could no longer distinguish, Mr. Blois cherished his daughter Willie very much. But other than that, he didn't have the same enthusiasm for Willie when facing other people and other things.
Therefore, when Sarah said the half-sentence to Willy, and then hesitated to take it back, the smart Delphi had vaguely realized some choices that might have occurred in the process of Percy's death.
After all, the Weymouth camp was under heavy attack, and most of them were unable to resist it, so no matter how they thought about it, they must ask for help from the rear; after all, Percy had very limited support forces to choose from under urgent circumstances.
However, Delphi and Sarah didn't continue talking about this topic—the two just looked at each other thoughtfully, and they both temporarily pressed the matter.
Because, Willie soon came over with the teapot and teacups.
After that, the three of them didn't continue to chat about Percy's death. Instead, Sarah took the initiative to talk about Willie's favorite plant.
In alchemy, theoretically speaking, everything in the world can be regarded as the material and product of alchemy, and as life that fits well with the four elements of alchemy—plants, they have been extensively studied in ancient and modern alchemy and use.
The second important thing Sarah did when she came to Beauxbatons was to find some alchemy materials. This was not just the reason she searched casually to fool Hermione.
At the same time, Delphi, who had never interrupted before, finally took the initiative to participate in the "girls" tea party this time. Even though she personally doesn't know much about herbal medicine, it doesn't prevent the three of them from talking harmoniously together.
At last, after Willie promised to find some flower seeds for Sarah, a knock on the door announced the end of the evening chat.
"...Miss, it's time for dinner."
The old housekeeper was naturally the one who came to invite Willy and the others to eat—although it was just a trivial matter, it was always done by the old housekeeper himself, with few exceptions.
"Okay, here we are... Oh, by the way, Miss Hohenheim is here too, you should know?"
"Oh, yes, everyone has heard about it—Mrs. Maxim specially told the kitchen to prepare more delicacies!"
Outside the door, the voice of the old housekeeper rang again, and Willie stood up and greeted Sarah with a hand.
"As I said, Madame Maxime is a very nice person."
"Oh, yes!"
Sarah smiled, and followed Willie to the door together with Delphi.
...
"Mr. Blois, you are here."
Beauxbaton's dining room is not as big as the Hogwarts auditorium, but after all, it has to accommodate so many students, so it is still quite spacious.
But right now, because the students have gone home for the holidays, only a few stayed. When many of the tables here have been removed, the already large restaurant looks even bigger.
Even... somewhat empty.
"Ok."
Blois nodded to Mrs. Maxim who was already waiting here as usual, and then sat down in the seat he used to sit in the past few days.
Seeing that he had no intention of speaking after sitting down, Maxim said again:
"Today I asked the kitchen to add some more dishes."
"Well, that sounds good."
Blois nodded again, and responded with such a sentence, but quickly became cold again. Seeing this, Maxim could only sigh secretly after a short pause:
"I heard that Miss Hohenheim came in the evening, and Miss Blois took her to the room to drink tea and chat... There will be one more guest for dinner, so I asked the kitchen to prepare more."
And when she talked about Sarah like this, Mr. Blois finally frowned slightly, then shook his head and said:
"Yes, I've heard about this too—the girl from the Hohenheim family, a family of alchemists, studied at Hogwarts for a while before, and has a good relationship with Miss Granger and the others."
"Yes!" Madam Maxim said, she took a sip of water from her glass, and then added, "It seems that the relationship with Mr. McLean is also very good."
"McLean..." Hearing Maxim mention Maca, Blois couldn't help frowning again, "It's true, not long ago, I met Miss Hohenheim in Winchester Cathedral It's just that I didn't expect that this time she came back with Miss Granger and the others."
Obviously, Maxim wanted to take advantage of Sarah's arrival to bring up Percy's matter with Blois again—since the news of Percy's death was reported to Beauxbatons, she hadn't had a chance to talk to him yet. Have a good talk about it!
However, due to the big gap between Maxim and Bulova's understanding of Sarah - after all, the latter roughly knew Sarah's strength in alchemy, but Maxim was not so clear. So now that I mentioned it, in just a few words, the two of them were no longer on the same channel.
"All in all, Miss Hohenheim's return is a good thing—for you and me."
"Ok?"
This sentence was said by Bulova, and as soon as the words came out, Madam Maxim was a little confused.
She had thought that Bulova would at least have some headaches and embarrassments when Sarah came, because Bulova's approach to Percy's request for help was really not very authentic. Unexpectedly, he actually said it was a "good thing".
"Well, it seems... that's it."
Madam Maxim was puzzled, and echoed vaguely, which meant that the simple conversation while waiting before the meal came to an end for the time being.
Not long after, when she took another sip of water, there was finally a sound of slightly messy footsteps outside the restaurant.
Not only the three of Willy and the others, but a dozen Beauxbaton students who stayed at the school have also come over. And this finally made the somewhat deserted restaurant a little more lively.
Of course, with the principal and professors around, especially when there are few people, the students will always be somewhat cautious. On the contrary, the three of them, Wei Li, were more natural than these students in this school. While saying this casually, they sat down at the table of Maxim and Bulova very casually.
"Mrs. Maxim, I was supposed to visit you first, but I accidentally procrastinated until now. Sarah must apologize to you—I'm sorry, madam."
Just as she sat down with Willie and Delphi, Sarah immediately stood up again, leaning slightly towards Maxim.
