Chapter 1781

"Hello, Ms. de Quinn... It's a pleasure to meet you at this time."

After Mrs. Maxim introduced her, Hermione wanted to say something about the current situation and her own ideas. But when she thought that the old housekeeper had reminded her that she could watch the change first, she hesitated a little and decided to do it according to the old housekeeper's words.

So she simply said hello to each other.

"Oh, I'm glad to meet you, too!"

Very standard British English, with some London accent - Hermione bet that this lady de Quinn must have actually lived in Britain for some time.

Of course, whether the other party has been to Britain is obviously not the focus of today's meeting. Hermione just smiled and nodded, while Ms. de Quinn nodded slightly, and then went to greet the old housekeeper.

After a while, the four people sat down again around the small round table covered with colorful brocade tablecloth. As the host, Ms. de Quinn finally took the lead in saying:

"I didn't expect three distinguished guests to visit Belgium this morning - the two magic schools of busbarton and Hogwarts, as well as the French brova family with ancient wizard heritage. Oh, if you can tell me in advance, I must arrange the highest ceremony before I dare to let you in!"

Her words were relaxed, her face was calm, her words were humorous, and she even had a spring breeze smile on her mouth, which was very different from the previous sad face in her office.

However, it also vaguely showed her attitude towards the meeting: after the joy of reuniting with Mrs. Maxim's old friends, she still remembered her identity. With her duties as the Minister of magic of Belgium, the conversation had to start in a more "official" state.

As Hermione just mentioned, meeting at this level at this "opportunity" will inevitably make people have some imagination.

However, Hermione and the old housekeeper did not express their opinions on this, but gave Mrs. Maxim the right to speak in a short silence.

"De Quinn... Ah, sorry, I should call you 'minister de Quinn' now..."

Although Mrs. Maxim has some giant blood in her body, her wisdom is no less than that of most people. Otherwise, she can't firmly grasp the position of President busbarton in the eyes of many discrimination and doubt.

With this opening, she consciously mixed her personal friendship with de Quinn into the dialogue again. And she said the opposite, so that de Quinn didn't even know whether to smile a little reluctantly or simply call Maxim's mind euphemistic correction.

Yes, although she and de Quinn are indeed teachers and friends, both sides now bear many responsibilities.

Or why have they always been linked only by personal letters over the years? Because they both know that both sides are the kind of people who are willing to give everything for their responsibilities. Once the friendship between two people involves work, this rare friendship will no longer be so pure.

Maxim didn't stop, then he smiled and said:

"Just kidding! As you can see, we didn't come here in a big way just to make the meeting less formal - we are friends, aren't we? You know, we are friends. In fact, I know you must have had a hard time every day recently... The harm of this disaster is obvious to all, and everyone can't hide their state."

After all, they were friends, said Mrs. maxim, gradually abandoning the somewhat aggressive momentum before. Her words slowly became more sincere.

"I know your difficulties, and I think you should know our difficulties," she continued after a pause, "You see, the fact that Bulova castle was destroyed by halebo overnight is almost well known now, and we busbarton had to hide our breath to avoid catching fire... Although the news has not spread, in fact, Hogwarts castle has been destroyed in a fierce battle between halebo and Mr. McLean -"

"What!"

This news is undoubtedly a great shock to de Quinn.

You know, at present, almost all forces are watching Maka play back and forth with Haier Bo, and everyone is looking forward to Maka's victory. But who knows, Maka, who was born in Hogwarts, also failed to keep his "root" under Haier Bo's hands.

HMM... no, think about it carefully. Should this be called Marca's failure, or should he have enough foresight?

The decision to arrange all the teachers and students in Hogwarts to leave in advance has only destroyed an empty shell.

In fact, Mrs. Maxim naturally has a purpose to say this "hot" news.

Nowadays, too many people are relying on Maka, but Maka can't protect everyone alone. At present, the vast majority of forces are just silent and watching, which is actually very dangerous! She has to let everyone shake a lot, so that they can unite and try their best to resist the huge crisis that may be coming.

After de Quinn had slowed down a little and recovered from his surprise at the destruction of Hogwarts castle, Maxim continued:

"De Quinn, tell you the truth! We're actually here to form a resistance alliance composed of multiple forces - I don't have to tell you who the resistance is? I just want you to understand that you can't wait any longer. This is not a battle in the British magic world, let alone a war by Mr. McLean alone!"

Hearing what Mrs. Maxim said, Hermione couldn't help feeling deeply and subconsciously wanted to say something. But at this time, the old housekeeper nearby motioned her with his eyes, obviously asking her not to interrupt at this time.

"Can't you speak yet? Didn't Mr. housekeeper show me Mrs. Maxim's friendship with Ms. de Quinn?"

While Hermione was wondering, Ms. de Quinn, who had been listening to maxim, finally took a deep breath and said slowly:

"Ollim, I'm afraid you didn't come to me this time to let me join this' resistance alliance '? Well, at least your biggest goal is definitely not this."

As she was talking, she suddenly turned the topic again, as if she had no reason to sigh:

"You should know that Erich and I... Haven't seen each other for a long time."
