Chapter 129: Ghost girl

Chapter 129: Ghost girl

But as the headmistress of one of the top three wizard schools in Europe, it is reasonable to say that Madame Maxime would never live in such a place and dress in such an ordinary way.

Jon's heart filled with doubt as he glanced at the interior of the cabin, where the decoration was very simple, not like a place used for permanent residence, but more like a temporary shelter.

Madame Maxime did not seem to pay much attention to Jon, after Dumbledore's introduction, she just nodded to Jon who greeted her, then invited the two to sit down and poured them a cup of tea.

"You should have seen the letter I wrote to you." Madame Maxime looked crestfallen, "I was dismissed from Beauxbatons."

Dumbledore did not bother to touch the tea on the table, his face turned a little gloomy too.

"That's why I came over on this trip to find out why."

Madame Maxime did not immediately open her mouth to explain, but turned her head to look at Jon.

"Since I brought him with me, it means that I have complete trust in him, madam." Dumbledore said calmly.

The half-blood giantess, who is now become ex-headmistress of the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, let out a long breath.

"Well, your decisions are often the right ones most of the time." She stared into Dumbledore's eyes, "The Ministry of Magic appointed someone to take my place, they said I was twisting students' minds and teaching them improper things, and threw me out of the manor!"

Dumbledore frowned.

"Such a ridiculous charge?"

"Everyone found it absurd too!" Madame Maxime agreed, she looked emotional, "I denied their accusations, the entire school faculty and students all can vouch for me, under my management, Beauxbatons only taught students magic, there is no way to distort any minds, and I have no ideology to impart upon them! "

"I demand proof, otherwise I will never leave Beauxbatons, even if it is an order issued by the Ministry of Magic!"

Madame Maxime sounded agitated as if she was trying to restrain her emotions, but she couldn't calm down in any way.

"The French magical world has become a mess now, and I have no idea what the Ministry of Magic has been doing all this time!" Her voice was alarmingly loud, "Some time ago those people actually arrested many families to eliminate dissidents, and also issued a wanted notice for the Delacour family!"

"Apolline Delacour escaped with her husband and her eldest daughter, and the younger daughter stayed in my house as a guest at that time, so I could only accommodate her with me temporarily. However, those Aurors actually searched my house directly, and they were aware that the youngest daughter of the Delacour family was staying with me. I had no choice but to feed her a vial of Draught of Living Ghost, which put her body into a deathlike slumber and turned her soul somewhat like a ghost and made the Ministry of Magic's Aurors assume she was dead!"

Madame Maxime had a sad face, the Delacour family was obviously close to her.

"The reason I wrote to call you here, also, was for this matter. I can't stay in France any longer, so I need your help, Albus, take the girl with you."

With that, she pulled out a rose-red bow hairpin from the open pocket of her robe, and as she held this hairpin out, an illusory, timid little girl of about six or seven years old appeared.

The girl's features are exquisite, with long, silky silver-white hair, but even if Jon had never seen a ghost before, he could recognize at first glance, this is definitely a ghost!

As soon as the girl appeared, she hid behind Madame Maxime, only daring to peek at Jon and Dumbledore with only half a face.

Dumbledore's face became a little ugly.

"The antidote for the Draught of Living Ghost is not well formulated, and if she is unlucky, she may never be able to wake up again, and will turn and become a ghost forever."
