Chapter Twenty-Six: Undamaged Theft, and Unharmed Sneak Attack

When they came out at eight o'clock, the castle looked empty outside, with only a handful of men and women wandering aimlessly, hand in hand, occasionally biting their ears and whispering in a low, inaudible whisper.

But when the bell rang for the emergency assembly and they walked back, Brandi realized that Beauxbatons still had such mysterious magic: whether it was lawns, bushes... The pyre was still a field, and a pair of boys and girls who could not hide from the blind corners of the eyes of people came out of the blind corners and walked towards the castle, and if you looked inside, you could still find that most of them were disheveled, and there was some unknown resentment on their faces.

A couple swore and swore out of a small patch of grass to Brandi's right, startling Brandi - it was less than twenty meters away from the pumpkin patch, but they hadn't been able to notice anyone for more than an hour!

"Tsk, don't be so surprised Britney, I dare to pack tickets Hogwarts must be not much different from this one on weekdays." Anna squeezed her eyes narrowly, "Speaking of which, the third grade is not too young~ You must already have someone you like!" ”

Brandi shuddered as if he had been electrocuted. Then he hurriedly argued. "I'm not! I didn't! Don't talk nonsense! ”

"Hee-hee~"

…… Audrey certainly didn't understand what Brandi was saying, but she was still smiling.

The three men followed behind the couple in front of them, turning a corner of the castle. Except for the occasional whisper of the surrounding students, Beauxbatons was quiet at night, looking up at the castle window, where the lights were still on, and there was no figure flickering anxiously or any sign of a spell flying.

"It's weird, there's not going anywhere in the castle." Brandi listened carefully to the surrounding noises and asked suspiciously, "Why did you suddenly gather everyone back?" ”

"I can't tell you if you ask me that...... In fact, the last time we were asked to gather urgently was three years ago, when a group of mountain trolls who lived deep in the Pyrenees seemed to have lost their heads during the migration and actually broke into the outskirts of Beauxbatons, and at that time, in order to protect the students, the school rang the assembly bell to let everyone return to the castle - but in fact they didn't need to, because the mountain trolls couldn't get past the school's deadwood arch, and in less than half an hour, they were driven away by the two ancient trees. ”

Beauxbatons' gate was a giant arch formed by the entanglement of the branches of two dead trees in mid-air, which Brandi had known since he was on the plane, but if Anna hadn't brought it up, he really didn't know that these two dead trees were actually something like a beating willow. And judging by the story that she was able to chase away a bunch of mountain trolls...... It must be much taller and more ferocious than beating people! After all, he's fought with something stupid like a troll...... Although it is a heads-up...... It's still a heads-up of one out of five.

So, what really happened in Beauxbatons' castle that can be equated to the danger of a group of mountain trolls?

With this suspicion, they quickly blended in with the flow of people returning to the castle, and the whispers around them gradually turned into noise and noise. As everyone chattered around the magic fountain at the doorway and towards the castle gate, the voices of the students who were walking in front suddenly stopped abruptly, like ducks pinched by the throat.

"What's wrong?" Anna reached out and pushed aside the students in front of her, and emerged from the crowd with Brandi Audrey. Then immediately after that, she didn't dare to speak......

The huge figure stood in front of the castle gate, and his serious eyes swept coldly over Anna's body, then swept past Audrey and landed on Brandi next to him.

Mrs. Maxim stared at Brandi until a cold sweat broke out on his back.

"Everyone, let's meet in the auditorium first...... The prefect counts the number of people and records the list of those who are not yet in the auditorium. She let out a low voice, as if she was enduring something terrible. Brandi had to look away from her, avoiding eye contact with herβ€”and then, from behind Maxim, he vaguely saw a figure that wasn't supposed to be there. Orianna silently walked over to the end of the hallway behind her, as if clutching some glowing gadget in her hand.

It looked like it was ...... Looking for something?

"Next, Miss Spears."

"Ahh Brandi withdrew his gaze in panic, watching as Orianna disappeared into the other end of the hallway, away from Beauxbatons Auditorium.

"You need to go to the cantilevered tower...... Now there are only those who are left with Hogwarts who you haven't confirmed. ”

Madame Maxim said this, and then everyone looked at Brandy.

"Confirmed?" Brandi was stunned, he pointed to his nose in confusion and asked curiously. "Confirm what?"

Madame Maxim seemed reluctant to mention it in front of so many people, and her large, fan-like hand took Brandy's arm as if she were pinching a toothpick. Then he easily pulled Brandi out of the crowded door and down the hallway towards the staircase.

It wasn't until she walked up to the second floor, and there was no student next to her, that she calmed her heaving chest and began to organize her language.

"Now go back to the tower and check if there's anything missing, Spears."

"Missing something?" Brandi was confused for a moment. "Someone lost something over there? Is it a thief? ”

Madame Maxime seemed to be very embarrassed, and her olive face was now a little rosy.

"No, no, as it stands, no one has found out that they have lost anything. Listen, I swear... Beauxbatons will definitely give you a satisfactory answer - there is a guy who... For the time being, I think it's him, I don't know how to get into the third floor of the tower - the cantilevered tower is well protected, it shouldn't have been possible - and then rummaged through your dorm room, messing around with clothes and clutter - thankfully, most of the dorms that were broken into were empty, but when it came to your room......"

She paused, and Brandi almost immediately understood the meaning, and his face turned ugly. The answer to who else could there be but himself in the assigned dormitory, and a gangster who had been planning for a long time ran into an unsuspecting third-grade girl......

"You're saying that Qiu Zhang has been attacked?" He couldn't help but grasp the corner of Madame Maxim's robe with excitement. "How is she now!"

"Akihari?" Madame Maxim's voice sounded a little surprised, "Miss Zhang, she's fine...... The victim in the room was Miss Wendy Mabel, who passed out. ”

…………

Brandi saw Akihari in the hall on the third floor of the tower, or rather, the girls at Hogwarts were all here, except for Miss Orianna and Miss Wendy, who didn't know where to go. They looked terrified, but thankfully no one was hurt again. According to Qiu Zhang, Wendy's sensibility came to her senses shortly after that, but for safety reasons, she was taken to the school hospital, where Beauxbatons' therapist gave her a detailed examination - the results of the examination were unexpected, she had no signs of trauma or magic spells, and seemed to have just fallen into a coma due to a simple severe lack of oxygen.

When Brandi came out of the burst of white light, he realized that he could either say a few words on a regular basis or ignore him at all...... All the girls were arguing about something. When they saw someone coming in, their voices were lowered, and then they found that it was Brandy, and immediately deliberately returned to the volume just now, and their suspicious eyes glanced at him from time to time.

Even Katie, who usually has a good relationship with him, was in the middle of that group of girls, looking him up and down vigilantly.

Qiu Zhang stood up from the chair next to him and waved at him, motioning for him to leave with them.

"What's wrong with them? I just heard the names of me and Sister Oriana mentioned......" As she walked down the hallway, Brandi asked curiously.

"Don't listen to their nonsense, they're just frightened and start thinking nonsense." "After all, the three floors of the cantilever tower are completely separate spaces, and each floor needs a corresponding password, and the password for the third floor of the tower is known to no one except Beauxbatons and us. They suspect that some of our own students have leaked passwords... Of course, Miss Oriana's mystery will be suspected all dayβ€”and you should know what your own reason is, because no one has any impression of you except that I know who you are. ”

"Inner ghost?" Brandi couldn't help but laugh, "Whoever is well fed would do such a thing, Wendy is not hurt, and no one has lost anything...... Besides, I've been curious from the beginning, there are twenty of us, could it be that Wendy-senpai was alone in the tower at that time? They rummaged through several rooms and attacked people, and they didn't hear any movement in the dormitory. ”

Qiu Zhang sighed, and the two willow eyebrows furrowed together.

"Actually, that's ......"

"What?"

"Wendy's was discovered by Katie - she came back from the Quidditch pitch and found the door open for the two of us and wanted to come over and talk. Then I found Wendy lying next to your luggage - there were actually four or five girls in the other dorms on the third floor at the time, but no one heard anything loud...... If it weren't for Wendy's horror when she woke up and mentioned that she was attacked from behind, we wouldn't have known that something like this was happening in the tower. ”

…… Sister Wendy, collapsed next to my box?
