Chapter 1765: The Threat Is on the Side
On the question of the present situation in Europe as a whole, Monsieur Butler, Monsieur Blois, and Madame Maxim talked about it all the time.
Seeing that it was time for dinner, Madame Maxim invited everyone to today's lunch.
It must be said that the lunch at Beauxbatons is still very rich, the French food is exquisite and delicious, and just tasting it makes everyone's tense mood relax a lot.
It is often said that "bread is the pillar of life", and perhaps only at the dinner table can people forget the misfortune and sorrow around them for a while.
"Hermione, try this, the taste of shelled slugs can be so delicious!"
In the side hall of the castle, the big guys were eating at the same table with the teachers and students of Beauxbatons. Ron was particularly interested in the food, as the food supply on the island during this time required moderation, and the food was somewhat acceptable.
"Hmm."
Hermione, who was on the side, was obviously a little absent-minded, and when she heard Ron speak, she subconsciously responded. It wasn't until Ron placed a few snails on her plate that she hurriedly pulled out her wand and threw them all into Harry's plate not far away.
"Oh...... Forget it, you eat slowly. ”
With that, she put the fork on her plate and wiped her mouth to end the lunch.
"You're done eating? I don't think you have eaten much, do you? ”
Hearing Ginny, who was sitting next to her, ask with some concern, Hermione was about to say that she was okay, but suddenly a pleasant voice came from behind her.
"Mr. Potter? Miss Granger? Oh, and ......"
Seeing someone calling her name, Hermione hurriedly looked back and found that behind her stood a beautiful and innocent little girl.
Although a little time has passed, it is still difficult to forget such a cute girl as Ke.
"Dra...... Miss Kuhl? ”
That's right, this is exactly the one I saw at the Triwizard Tournament, but it was not Fleur Delacul, who was competing at the time, but her sister, the little beauty Gabrielle.
"Yes," Gabrielle said with a sweet smile as she looked at Hermione, "I'm glad to see you again!" My sister wrote to me a few days ago, saying that she was always worried about whether you would ...... You know, I've heard that it's very unsafe out there, and the professors don't talk about it, but the newspapers are full of all sorts of very scary incidents. ”
"Oh, we're glad to meet you, too."
Hermione quickly stood up and hugged her gently.
"It's true that it's dangerous outside, and we've even lost our hometown. But it doesn't matter, everyone is working hard, especially Maca...... Well, you should remember him, right? ”
"Of course," said Gabrielle, nodding, "my sister often mentions him in her letters!" I don't think she was too busy with work, and she would have gone to Mr. McLean a long time ago......"
Hermione and Gabrielle had a great conversation there, and even pulled Gabrielle to sit down again, so that the other friends could also greet each other.
But they didn't notice that a masked girl sitting a little farther away was eavesdropping with her ears straightened.
"Then McKellen is really popular...... Sounds like Gabridra's sister is a little bit interesting to him, too? Not...... Looking at the little girl's appearance, her sister must not be far behind......"
Muttering like this, she suddenly shook her head and said secretly:
"No, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid Ursula has little chance...... I had to do something. ”
Thinking of this, she simply put down the dishes, put back the lower part of the mask that she had removed during the meal, and then stood up suddenly.
This startled a Beauxbatons student sitting next to her.
……
Leaving aside Safina's rather untimely thoughts, on the other side of the faculty chair, the old butler did not even miss a meal time, and was still chatting with Madame Maxim and some of the professors at Beauxbatons about the outside world.
These days on the island have been almost isolated from the outside world, and to this day, they have missed a lot of intelligence information.
However, with his patient search for opportunities, he has also asked a lot of valuable information so far.
For example......
"Madame Maxim, Mr. Blois, we have just received a new piece of news about the British side, it is said that not long ago, several alchemical research laboratories have detected several huge signs of magic through alchemical instruments, and those alchemists believe that there may have been a fierce battle in the direction of London, England."
"London?"
When Madame Maxim heard this, she immediately frowned.
"Is Helmau back there?"
But the old butler didn't seem to be so surprised by this, so he nodded slightly and said:
"Helbo always has to set a stronghold, doesn't he? As for the fighting...... Before lunch, Miss Granger said that she had gone to find out something about the young lady from the Goverfin family. According to Miss Nag'Ofgain, Mr. McLean must have returned to England. ”
Hearing the old butler say this, several professors, including Maxim, couldn't help but say thoughtfully:
"So, is it really Mr. McLean who is fighting Helpo again?"
Everyone felt sincere admiration for Maca, who was able to easily enter the fog to find trouble with Helbo, and now they didn't even dare to take half a step in the strange gray mist.
Today, many wizards have apparently recognized the power of the modern Muggle army. However, even if the British army resisted with all their might, they were still forcibly captured by Helbo, and now only a small part of the army was still shrunk in the northernmost mountains, and the rest had been forced to withdraw from the border by sea.
The countless army of living corpses is simply terrifying.
"Well," thought to herself for a moment, Madame Maxim sighed, "I don't know what is going on with Mr. McLean...... If it weren't for him, maybe we'd have to hide all over the world now, right? ”
"It's just us!"
When several Beauxbatons professors heard this, they all sighed.
The old butler looked at everyone's sad faces, and realized that this was actually an opportunity, so he hurriedly spoke:
"Because of this, we have to unite as soon as possible, especially in the countries adjacent to the United Kingdom, with Helbo waiting on one side, we may not even be able to sleep at all!"
Indeed, with the identity of his Blois family in front of him, it is difficult for everyone to believe it.
