To be honest, the treatment given to the few survivors after they were taken in by people sent by the French Ministry of Magic was not very good. Being guarded and monitored throughout the day, there was no freedom at all, and it even made people a little breathless.
If anything, it would have been more comfortable if I had chosen to stay in Weymouth Port with Officer Rowan.
However, they actually had no complaints. After all, even if you have to be watched and guarded like this, it is much safer and more comfortable than worrying about the appearance of zombies in the British fog!
"Ms. Connie, tell me... when will they let us go? I think we should have said everything we need to say, but these French people don't seem to want to let us go yet—"
In a windowless room on the second floor of the Ministry of Magic, several survivors who had come to France from Weymouth Port were being detained here under strict guard. There were four groups of eight senior Aurors standing at the door, standing guard inside and outside. Although they were not handcuffed or shackled, the level of supervision was even stricter than in the Ministry's detention room.
Seeing her companions complaining, the woman in purple who was obviously the leader of the group shook her head and softly comforted:
"Don't worry. Although the guards are a little stricter, at least they don't make things difficult for us in terms of food and life. And I must say that they should be so careful... Even though you are Muggles, you still follow us in the UK. Here it is - dead bodies can not only be resurrected, but can even become stronger and stronger. Even we wizards are horrified by this terrible disaster. If they weren't so careful, we should be even more surprised, right?"
"Well," the man could only nod his head after hearing this, "Ms. Connie, it was you and Officer Rowan who saved us. We all believe in you... I'm just worried that the French haven't agreed to send anyone. Weymouth Port, will Officer Rowan encounter any accidents because of waiting too long?"
Obviously, this woman named "Connie" was the purple-robed witch that Harry and the others met in the abandoned bar. The reason why the group headed by this witch left Weymouth first seemed to be with the mission entrusted by Officer Rowan.
"It's okay," Witch Connie heard his worries and said immediately, "Didn't we already talk to Mr. Potter before? He is a celebrity in our British wizarding world, and his words are still very credible. - He said that after we come to France, we will see his companions soon, so sooner or later we will. It is said that Madame Maxime is also with them, so I will be more relieved. "
Although the Muggles brought here were worried because they didn't know much about the magical world, Connie actually felt at ease.
She knew that as long as she said everything that needed to be said, the rest would be just a matter of waiting quietly. Of course, sitting for long periods of time takes a lot of patience.
Just as she was thinking this, a voice suddenly came from outside, which made her instantly refreshed.
…
"Miss Granger, the survivors are here... Since Madam Maxime hasn't come yet, it's not convenient for me to hand them over to you directly, but it's okay to ask a few questions."
"No, that's enough, please, Mr. Minister. As for Madam Maxim, she will definitely come before nightfall tonight. She will discuss the follow-up arrangements for these survivors with you then. deal."
Under the personal leadership of the French Minister of Magic, Hermione and others arrived here quickly without much delay. Just now, Luna followed Gabrielle to find the latter's sister Fleur. Although Hermione still didn't know why Luna was so active, she knew Luna to some extent and didn't stop her.
"Open the door!"
Watching the minister ask the guarding Auror to open the door, Hermione put aside her thoughts about Luna for the time being and followed the minister into the room with Delphi and Ms. Larson.
"Ms. Connie, someone wants to see you."
The minister said this, then stepped aside and stood aside, allowing Hermione and the others to step forward. It can be seen that although the French Minister of Magic is very polite to them, he still maintains the due vigilance and does not fully trust Hermione and others.
But it's no wonder that in France, the position of Minister of Magic has never been easy to occupy. How could the entire French wizarding world be managed between the Blois and Beauxbatons without a combination of prudence and sophistication
Of course, this isn't something Hermione needs to worry about.
"Ms. Connie...?" She glanced at the six survivors sitting around the coffee table, and soon fell on the witch that Mr. Minister had just greeted, "I think we must first Congratulations on finally escaping that terrible fog - I am Hermione Granger."
"Thank you," Ms. Connie stood up immediately and said, "Yes, I know you. Mr. Potter has mentioned it to us before."
"Please take a seat," Hermione said immediately after being polite for a moment, "How are Harry and the others?"
"Well, at least they were all very well before they separated from us." Connie nodded, "However, we only met Mr. Potter and his party in Weymouth. You have to know that it's actually quite safe there. . But I heard from Mr. Porter that they will continue to go deeper inland... I have to be honest about this. Currently in the UK, the deeper you go, the more dangerous it is."
"Of course, what we need is the truth," Hermione sighed, thought for a moment, and then said, "Although I would like to hear you tell the details of your encounter with Harry immediately, but before that —”
As she spoke, she turned her head and looked at Ms. Larson beside her, and then said:
"I still have to ask first, among Harry and the others, have you seen a young witch with a pure white mask on her face?"
"Oh! Is that the therapist lady? I heard Mr. Potter call her... 'Safina'?"
"Yes! That's her! She's our young lady!"
The maid Larson, who had been listening carefully, finally couldn't help but speak.
And hearing that Safina had indeed joined Harry and the others, and even seemed to naturally become a member of the scouting team, Hermione didn't know whether to be worried or relieved.
But now it seems that Safina has taken charge of the treatment task in the reconnaissance team, and has continued to work with Harry and the others.
"Ms. Larson, if she is willing to strictly follow Harry's instructions, the possibility of accidental danger may be much smaller. You know her better than I do. I wonder if you think... she will be willing?"
"This..." Larson couldn't help but said with a troubled expression after hearing this, "I think it's difficult."
