Mr. Butler, Mr. Blois and Madame Maxime talked about the current situation in Europe until noon.
Seeing that it was time for dinner, Mrs. Maxim invited everyone to join today's lunch.
It must be said that the Beauxbatons lunch was quite sumptuous. The French food was exquisite and delicious. Just tasting it made everyone relax a lot.
People often say "Bread is the stall of life." Perhaps only at the dinner table can people temporarily forget the misfortune and sadness around them.
"Hermione, try this, slugs in shells actually taste so delicious!"
In the side hall of the castle, everyone was dining at the same table with the teachers and students of Beauxbatons. Ron was particularly interested in the food here. After all, the food supply on the island needed to be restrained during this period, so the food he ate was somewhat adequate.
"Um."
Hermione on the side was obviously a little distracted. When she heard Ron speak, she subconsciously responded. It wasn't until Ron put a few baked snails on her plate that she hurriedly took out her wand and threw them all "clinking" onto Harry's plate not far away.
"Oh... forget it, you guys eat slowly."
After saying that, she put the fork on the plate and wiped her mouth to end the lunch.
"Have you finished eating now? It seems to me that you haven't eaten much, right?"
Hearing Ginny sitting next to her ask with some worry, Hermione was just about to say that she was fine, but unexpectedly, a pleasant voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Mr. Potter? Miss Granger? Oh, and..."
Seeing someone calling her name, Hermione hurriedly looked back and found a beautiful and innocent little girl standing behind her.
Although time has passed a little long, it is still hard for people to forget such a cute girl like Ke.
"Miss Della...Cool?"
Yes, this was the Veela half-blood Delacour that we had seen in the Triwizard Tournament—but it was not Fleur Delacour who was competing at that time, but her sister, the little beauty Gabrielle.
"Yes," Gabri looked at Hermione and showed a sweet smile, "I'm so glad to see you again! My sister sent me a letter a few days ago, saying that she had been worried about whether you would Will... you know, I heard it's not safe out there - the professors won't say it, but the newspapers are full of all kinds of very scary incidents."
"Oh, we're glad to see you too."
Hermione quickly stood up and hugged her gently.
"Indeed, it is very dangerous outside, and we even lost our hometown. But it doesn't matter, everyone is working hard, especially Maka... Well, you should still remember him, right?"
"Of course," Gabrielle nodded. "My sister often mentions him in her letters! If she hadn't been too busy at work, she would have gone to see Mr. MacLean long ago..."
Hermione and Gabrielle chatted happily there, and even pulled Gabrielle to sit down again, allowing other friends to greet each other.
But they didn't notice that a masked girl sitting a little further away was eavesdropping with her ears straightened.
"Then MacLean is really popular... It sounds like this Gabriel Delacour's sister is also interested in him? Hmm... Looking at the little girl's appearance, her sister must not be much different. …”
After muttering like this, she suddenly shook her head and said secretly:
"No, if this continues, Ursula's chances may be slim... I have to do something."
Thinking of this, she simply put down the tableware, put back the lower half of the mask that she had taken off during the meal, and then stood up.
This time, a Beauxbatons student sitting next to her was startled.
…
Putting aside Safina's rather inappropriate little thoughts, on the other side of the faculty bench, the old housekeeper did not even miss the meal time, and was still making every possible effort to communicate with Madame Maxime and some Beauxbatons professors. Talking about some topics about the external situation.
During the days spent on the island, they were almost isolated from the outside world. To this day, they have missed a lot of intelligence information.
However, as he patiently looked for opportunities to learn more, he had already obtained a lot of valuable information.
For example...
"Mrs. Maxime, Mr. Blois, we have just received the latest news about the British side - it is said that not long ago, several alchemy research laboratories have detected several huge magics through alchemical instruments. Signs, those alchemists believe, that a fierce battle may have just occurred in that direction of London, England."
"London?"
When Mrs. Maxim heard this, she frowned immediately.
"Did Haierbo go back there again?"
But the old housekeeper didn't seem to be too surprised by this. He nodded slightly and said:
"Helbo always has to set up a stronghold, right? As for the battle... Before lunch, Miss Granger said that she went to see the young lady at the Geofein family and learned something. According to Miss Geofin Said, Mr. MacLean should have returned to England."
Hearing what the old housekeeper said, several professors, including Maxim, couldn't help but think thoughtfully:
"So, is it really Mr. McClain who is fighting with Haierbo again?"
Everyone sincerely admired Maka for being able to easily enter the fog to find trouble with Haierbo - others would not even dare to step into the weird gray fog now.
Nowadays, many wizards have obviously realized the power of the modern Muggle army. But even if the British army resisted with all their strength, Haierbo still forcibly captured most of the country. At present, only a small part of the army is still huddled in the mountains in the north, and the rest have been forced to withdraw from the country by sea. .
The countless army of living corpses was simply terrifying.
"Alas," after thinking secretly for a moment, Mrs. Maxim couldn't help but sigh, "I don't know what's going on with Mr. McClain... If it weren't for him before, maybe we would have to hide around the world now, right? "
"It's not just us!"
Several Beauxbatons professors also sighed after hearing this.
The old housekeeper looked at everyone's sad faces and immediately realized that this was actually an opportunity, so he hurriedly said:
"Because of this, we must unite as soon as possible - especially in the countries adjacent to the UK. With Haierbo waiting for opportunities on one side, we may not even be able to sleep peacefully!"
Indeed, with his identity as a member of the Blois family in front of them, it was difficult for everyone not to be convinced by these words.
