Chapter 569: Longbottom Surrounded by Present
In this inheritance incident, there are a total of two people from the Tauffler family. One of them was found sitting in a corner of the hallway early this morning without any breath, but what about the other?
Just when everyone suspected that the young master Tefleur might have met with an accident, the Aurors sent by the French Ministry of Magic discovered his location very quickly.
In fact, the young master of the Natauffler family was in Beauxbatons' vestibule garden. By the time the Aurors searched for him, he had already fallen into a deep coma, unable to respond to the calls of others.
Fortunately, he seems to be alive.
For those Aurors who take it as their mission to solve cases and complete tasks, as long as they can find a living person, it is a great achievement. When he wakes up, they may have a further source of clues, which is certainly a good thing.
But for some, this is probably not good news. For example, Master Hohenheim, who has had some disputes with the other party, or for example, the guy who does it behind his back......
When he heard a commotion outside, he and Fanny went over to take a look. It can be found that the young master Tefuler has his eyes closed and his face is pale, but on the surface, he is not injured like his companion before, and it is obvious that he has been seriously injured by a spell.
And the reason why he still has a small life, maybe it was the cold-faced wizard who helped him block it, so that he fled to other places to hide first. It's a pity that his injuries are quite serious, and he still can't stay in a conscious state.
Of course, whether this young master Taforler is okay or not, Maca's side doesn't care much. It's just that because the two people who were found one after another died and fainted, plus the previous rumors, Madame Maxim must have been busy. In this situation, it seems that Maca's original trip will be postponed a little longer.
"We really need to catch up on sleep this time," Maca, who had just returned to the room, said to Fanny behind her, "Take a good rest, and I will see that the formal discussion meeting on the inheritance will probably start early." ”
When Fanny heard this, she nodded her head in response, then turned and left the room.
She knew that Maca was right.
Although a corpse was found before, the corpse was far less important than the one that was still alive, which is an obvious truth. Whether it is Madame Maxim or the man behind the scenes, every second will be in the running for the rest of the day.
The latter was naturally to completely kill the young master Tefuler who had survived by chance, so as to continue to disturb everyone's sight; Correspondingly, the former is to prevent the black hand from succeeding, and to make the other party lose the meaning of making a move at will, so it is necessary to take the lead in deciding everything that should be decided as quickly as possible.
Maca guessed that Madame Maxim, who originally seemed to have planned to hold the meeting this afternoon, might have moved the meeting directly to noon after dealing with the affairs of the young master of the Tauffler family.
"Ha-," he yawned and whispered to himself, "I'll go sleep for a while, too!" ”
With that, he stretched his waist and walked towards the bed in the room.
"Hmm......" Maca shrunk into the quilt, and faintly, a suspicious aroma flowed between his mouth and nose, "It's really ...... Let's sleep or not! At least she didn't talk nonsense, it seemed like she had rested last night......"
……
There was a little fragrance left on the futon, which probably couldn't affect Maca's sleep...... Well, that's just an approximation, who knows?
Anyway, Maca's side was asleep, but Harry's day had just begun.
Just now, Hermione was frowning and satisfied with Harry's visit to Slughorn. What she didn't like was that Harry went to the professor to ask for a reduction in the amount of homework, but she was satisfied that Harry seemed to have finally opened his mind.
Coaxing other girls in this kind of surprise way, although whether it has an effect varies from person to person, but this is at least an active start, isn't it? It's not easy for a boy like Harry, who is a bit passive in terms of feelings, to take action on his own.
And voila! Ginny, who was listening to her side secretly, her cheeks already crimson and dizzy. Obviously, Harry's plan didn't work out, but Ginny was already quite happy even if she only knew about it.
"It's a pity, if this thing really happens, it will be the biggest surprise!" Harry grabbed a piece of bread and took a big bite, thinking to himself.
He felt a lot of regret in his heart. Originally, he had planned to spend the whole day with Ginny, but now it seemed that he might not be able to spare all the time in an afternoon.
"Hey, you guys...... What are you talking about? ”
Just as Harry was frustrated, a voice rang out behind him. He didn't have to look back to guess that Neville must have come.
Since the events of Voldemort became known, his activities had become less and less active, but Neville was still practicing hard. Only he and Hermione will never be absent from every party time, and they can even go to the Room of Requirement in advance to practice alone for a while.
Speaking of which, even Harry had failed to show up a few times, as they had collided with the same increasingly pressing Quidditch training.
And Hermione, who has been paying attention to everyone's progress through so many trainings, once said that although Neville's progress is not great, he is really moving forward. Compared to Neville, whose dueling level was like a first-year wizard, Neville was obviously much stronger now.
However, the reason why people work hard is mostly because they hope for the results of their efforts. What did Neville, who had never been good at charms and Defence Against the Dark Arts, do to sweat like this?
Harry didn't know much about it now, he just remembered that Neville seemed to have had an argument with Malfoy. In one of St. Mungo's wards, it was as if someone who was very important to him lived in it. It's just that it's a matter of privacy, and no matter how slow he is, he won't take the liberty of asking.
"Oh, it's nothing......" Harry shook his head in embarrassment as Neville leaned over and asked.
It's really hard to talk about him and Ginny casually. Maybe Hermione was right, as a young boy who was just starting to fall in love, his face was really thin.
"Really?" Neville looked at him quizzically, then at Ron and Hermione.
It was his own precious sister who had come together with Harry, and of course Ron wouldn't have opened his mouth to come, but he quickly spread his hands to Neville as well. As for Hermione, her entire head was hidden behind the unfolded Daily Prophet, where could Neville see her?
"Well, okay...... Neville blinked and shook his head inexplicably before continuing, "Harry, how about the next training session on the afternoon of February 14th?" It was a break and we could practice a little more after our homework! You know, each other or something......"
Everyone knows that Neville has been obsessed with training for a while, but he didn't expect him to even miss Valentine's Day. Ron's side couldn't help but wonder, should we find a companion for this guy next?
“…… Hermione, what do you think? Neville, of course, didn't know what the others were thinking, so he didn't notice what he seemed to be making a rather unbelievable suggestion.
When Maca is not at school, the host of the event. Whether it is deciding the content of the training or planning the training time, it is up to her to make the final confirmation. So Neville didn't ask anyone else, and went straight to Hermione.
Of course Hermione had heard, she had been listening to Neville from the first time he had spoken. But for the arrangement of Valentine's Day, she also had some difficulties.
I saw that she casually folded the newspaper and put it back on the table, but her expression was a little hesitant. Just when everyone thought that she would definitely refuse the offer, she spoke.
"No problem."
A simple and clear sentence, but it surprised both Ron and Harry.
"Hermione, you-" "But. ”
Harry immediately wanted to ask her what she thought, but before he could do so, he was interrupted by a "but" from Hermione.
“…… Harry and Ginny had something important to do that day," she said to Neville, "and as for the others, a large part of them should not be able to go. I'm afraid there will only be a few people to go, okay? ”
"Uh...... Yes? Neville was stunned when he heard this, "Why?" ”
"Neville!" Seeing his blank look, Ron on the side couldn't help it, "What day is February 14th, don't you know?" ”
"What day?" Neville blinked again, and after a moment of deep thought, the expression on his face suddenly became rather dull and funny, "Ah! Love, love, Valentine's Day! ”
In the blink of an eye, his cheeks were flushed, and he even stumbled a little when he spoke.
"Yes! Merlin is on top, it's Valentine's Day......" Ron said weakly, "I probably won't be able to go to training anymore, but honestly, I'd rather spend an afternoon practicing with you!" ”
"What?" Neville was taken aback again, "Ron, are you ...... You've got ......"
"Hey! I said buddy—" Ron simply stood up and walked over to Neville's side and patted him on the shoulder, "Have we really lived in the same dorm room for the past five years?" ”
"I'm sorry, Neville!" Harry also apologized, "I had something to do that day, I'm afraid I can't-"
"Huh? Miscellaneous...... Ha? ”
Here, Neville's spirit seemed to have been hit hard repeatedly, and his whole face had completely frozen. At this time, on the other side of the long table, Hermione was secretly amused, but her eyes gradually flickered towards the side of the Ravenclaw long table.
