"Beauxbatons is preparing to close? It's true? ”

When he heard the news, Blois couldn't help frowning again.

Earlier, because Neville had coldly mentioned the presence of a living corpse in Beauxbatons, Monsieur Blois almost left in a hurry to return to France. Fortunately, Bill, who left a message from Neville's Patronus, was quite thoughtful, and added a message about the arrival of Willy and the old butler in the refuge community among the many new information.

After knowing that nothing had happened to his precious daughter, Mr. Blois calmed down a little.

However, when Neville then recounted Beauxbatons' closure, Blois's expression changed again.

"Since it was Bill, it shouldn't be wrong, but ......," Neville said, couldn't help but ask, "What's the point of the 'school closure'?" Did Beauxbatons finally have to go into an indefinite suspension of classes as well? ”

Due to the threat of the disaster, many large and small schools in Western Europe have basically stopped teaching activities for the safety of teachers and students.

But there are schools that are closed, and there are schools that are still trying to hold on - and in the face of this catastrophe that is likely to turn into an indefinite struggle, the young wizards who have not yet grown up may be the hope of victory in the future.

That's why Mrs. Maxim has been persevering.

Not only did she persuade most of the professors to stay and continue teaching, but she also contacted the French Ministry of Magic to borrow manpower to strengthen the protection of the campus, and even founded the Resistance Alliance with Hermione, intending to recruit more forces to help her Beauxbatons.

It's just a pity that, as it turned out, she failed.

The reason for its failure is not disaster, let alone slackness, but human nature.

The vacillation of most of the small and medium-sized forces, the selfishness of Monsieur Blois, and her own inferiority hidden under her strength, many factors have been frustrating her over the years. And the vicious scheme of the head of the German Brandt family finally became the last straw that crushed the persistence in her heart.

"Closed...... Is it? At this time of year, it's really not a good choice. ”

Blois frowned and shook his head slightly. Then he gave a rough account of Beauxbatons' past to the others present, and finally said:

"Forget it...... Anyway, Potter, bring the first wizards as soon as possible! You can't go wrong with that. As for more manpower...... When the first group arrives here, I'll go back and gather it for you. ”

"It's not to take the opportunity to go back to see my daughter!" Safina on the side pursed her lips, and when she saw Blois turn her head and stare at her, she immediately looked at each other without avoidance, "See what I do?" Am I wrong? Hmph, I still want to visit Ursula...... Wait, as you just said, isn't Ursula going to be trapped in Beauxbatons? ”

"Yes," said Blois, with his hands outstretched, "that's why I say that closing the school may not be a good idea—if the enemy does break through, the walls that were meant to defend against the intruders will at once become a cage that traps them in turn." And an ancient dark wizard of Helbona's level...... Hard. ”

"I'm going back!"

In the blink of an eye, the one who was in a hurry to go to France changed from Mr. Blois to Safina. But until now, Neville hasn't been able to finish all the news!

Truth be told, a lot has become quite unsettling this time, both in Britain and abroad.

"Safina, you can't go back, everyone still needs you!" Suddenly, Luna, who was sitting not far away, said, "So...... Ursula's words, leave it to me! ”

……

When one of the Burrow's friends talked about Maxim, the headmaster Beauxbatons, who was being talked about, was in a small French town a little away from the school.

Since the severity of the disaster has long been impossible to disguise, Muggle people have naturally been informed of some of the grooming in some official announcements.

But reality is reality after all, even if the wizarding world exposed by this disaster is as bizarre as it is for the average Muggle. However, as more and more people saw the undisguised activities of wizards in the Muggle world more or less with their own eyes, it was clear that they could not believe it.

It must be said that disasters are disasters after all, and in the face of increasingly serious disasters, everyone has begun to evacuate. In a small town like this, even if the actual action will be a little later, at least recently, it is rare to see passers-by walking around in the streets and alleys.

So much so that in the past two days, it has become quite difficult for Maxim to get some food to satisfy his stomach through more normal means - after all, the magic spell cannot change the real ingredients.

However, a town like this, where everyone is closed, seems to be a good place for her to try to hide here.

After glancing out of the window for a few moments, Maxim closed the curtains again, and then returned his gaze to the figure on the bed.

It can be seen that there is a young girl lying on the bed right now, tied up by magic chains. Although that hideous and distorted face is really terrifying, it is really just a girl.

Hmm, or rather...... It's a "living corpse".

After luring him away that day, after a series of hard battles, Maxim finally defeated the opponent with his strong physique and skilled magic skills, and barely restrained him.

Although she herself has paid a lot of price.

However, even if it is finally brought under control now, what should we do next...... To be honest, Maxim really ran out of ideas this time.

The Brandt family's intrigues were not very elaborate, and if Maxim was really determined to solve the matter, there were many solutions. But the great thing about the head of the Brandt family is that he may have already seen one of Maxim's biggest weaknesses - that is, the safety of Beauxbatons teachers and students.

The Brandt family can send a living corpse to Beauxbatons today, and a second tomorrow; Today he can send the living corpse to Maxim, tomorrow who knows which horn he can send to?

Visible threats are terrifying, but hidden dangers that can be seen but cannot be touched and can erupt at any time are often the most intractable.

At that time, it was because Maxim thought of this that she finally decided to let the professor start preparing to start the closure plan.

As for why she's hiding here now...... Quite simply, in order to prove her innocence and confirm the plot of the head of the Brandt family, she needs the most reliable witness!
