Chapter 1985: Delphi Walks Together
Maxim had only wanted to ask Mr. Blois to make an appearance at the meeting of the Resistance Alliance—yes, it was enough to show his face in front of the representatives of the forces that were not very peaceful. But who knows, this time Sarah actually succeeded in getting the other party to agree to return to the front line to assist in the next action!
For Madame Maxim, this was definitely a surprise that was not expected beforehand.
However, after the meal, Ben wanted to talk to Sarah alone about the alchemy materials and express her gratitude by the way, but found that Sarah seemed to have lost all interest in the topic of dinner, let alone their rebellion against the alliance.
Seeing that Sarah had always hastily talked about what she wanted to talk about, Maxim could only put away some thoughts about being close to her, and just took her around the storeroom.
That night, Sarah spent the night in Beauxbatons' alchemy laboratory, and it was not until the next day, near noon, that she reappeared in the campus vestibule after a long time, and said that she was going to leave after lunch.
With Mr. Blois, of course.
"Okay, I'll go and remind the housekeeper to inform my father in a moment...... When I get back, remember to say hello to Hermione and the others on my behalf. ”
"Well, I will."
Sarah nodded to Willy, who was standing by the flowerbed, only to realize that the beautiful Muggle girl who had been with her almost all the time yesterday was no longer there today.
"Are you looking for Delphi?" Seeing that she was looking around her, Willie said, "In the morning she said she was a little busy and wasn't here with me. ”
"Really?"
In fact, Sarah just asked casually, and when she heard Willie say this, she also bowed her head slightly, and didn't care about such an inconsequential little thing anymore - although the other party said that she was McKellen's friend, but Maca's friend said more and more and said less, and it seemed that there was really no need to pay attention to a Muggle who hadn't even awakened his magic power, right?
After Sarah had chatted with Willy on the garden, the two saw that the time was almost up, and walked side by side to the castle.
A lunch is certainly not as rich as last night's dinner, but the exquisite French meals are still delicious and tempting.
When his stomach is full, Mr. Blois, who had promised to go to Camp Granger with Sarah yesterday, will not break his promise—he can refuse in various ways and for various reasons, but he will not break the promise he has made, otherwise, he will not have to be the head of the family.
Only, just after lunch, Sarah and Mr. Blois were about to leave the school. Everyone found that a familiar figure was already waiting on the side of the stone road outside the gate.
"Delphi?"
Seeing that Delphi, who had not seen a figure all morning, was standing outside in the shade of a tree on the side of the road, still carrying a strangely shaped long-rod staff in his hand, Willie suddenly said in confusion:
"You...... What's wrong? ”
"Back to Camp Granger," Delphi said succinctly, "I'm going to England." ”
"But you-" Willy's already confused expression was mixed with a little surprise when she heard this, "Delphi, your magic strength ......"
However, it was at this moment that Sarah, who had been staring at the staff in Delphi's hand from the beginning, spoke.
"That's what Mr. McLean did?"
"Yes," Delphi nodded slightly, "of course, it can only be used for simple self-defense—it's not easy to get Muggles who don't have magical talent to do magic, and you can't expect too much." ”
"In that case, you're going to England?" Sarah suddenly felt that she was beginning to take an interest in this girl, "You should have heard the conversation at the banquet last night, it is very dangerous over there now, even more dangerous than before. If you don't have enough strength, death will be a very easy thing. ”
"I know," said Delphi calmly, "believe me, I may know more about the state of affairs in England today than you think...... I know exactly what I'm doing. ”
"Oh?"
Since Sarah was not with Maca and the others earlier, she went to the wizarding settlement arranged by the Blois family with the Weasleys and other evacuees. And before that, she had barely had much contact with Delphi.
But now, it seems that this Delphi does not seem to have an ordinary relationship with Maca - this staff that allows Muggles to use magic is not so easy to make, and the fact that it is held in Delphi's hand is enough to explain a lot of things.
What's more, Delphi's last sentence is indeed very concerning.
"In that case...... Well, let's come along! Sarah thought for a moment, then turned to Willy's father and said, "What do you say, Mr. Blois?" ”
"Those who don't want to go can be persuaded in every possible way, but can those who want to go still be stopped? Even if we don't agree, she can't go on her own? ”
Blois shook his head, a vague impatience in his words, apparently referring to Sarah's use of Willy to "persuade" her to go to Camp Granger last night.
Sarah, however, apparently didn't care about his implicated complaints, and nodded when she heard him say so.
"Let's go together! Do you want me to take you...... Oh, it seems like not. ”
"Yes, it doesn't have to."
Delphi said this, and then casually pulled a palm-sized candy box out of his pocket, and Sarah and Mr. Blois could faintly feel the faint fluctuation of magic that belonged only to the portkey.
"Miss Blois, please choose your choice for that."
"Huh?"
Before Willy could react, she saw Delphi reach out her staff and touch the candy box lightly—and the next moment, as the space shrank, she disappeared from the spot.
"That staff, it's really not simple." Blois looked at the shade of the tree where Delphi had left, and couldn't help but say thoughtfully.
"Of course, McLean never disappointed."
Sarah chimed in, and the two of them stepped out of Beauxbatons' school, casting a disfigurement spell and leaving from view.
"Oh, maybe I should go over there again when I'm done with all the business here." Mrs. Maxim looked at the school gate, which was no longer empty, and asked the administrator to close the door quickly, and said to herself, "After all, Miss Granger may not be able to rush back in a short time, and if she wants to talk about something in person, I can only go...... By the way, Mr. Butler, aren't you going with the head of the Blois family this time? ”
"I'm with Miss." The old butler replied without thinking.
