"Mr. Blois, you—"
When Charlie saw that the Blois family father and daughter were actually on the coastal road not far from Granger Camp, he was extremely surprised.
"Why?"
"There is no 'why'," Willy's father shook his head. "This is France, and we are French. There doesn't seem to be any reason to go back home."
Regarding that mission, although Maka didn't seem to ask them to keep it secret from others. But considering that Maka had previously kicked Charlie out of Hogwarts, Blois suddenly felt that at least he did not have any need to explain to the other party.
After replying to Charlie rather flatly, Blois waved to the old butler and motioned for him to stand next to him.
"Master." When the old housekeeper saw this, he immediately came forward and said, "Are you and the young lady okay? And... the young lady, are you okay?"
The scene of Willie breaking through the obstacles and escaping from the island in one go is obviously still vivid in her mind. The old housekeeper was naturally very worried about this.
"It's okay," Blois nodded slightly. "Mr. MacLean has solved the remaining hidden dangers in Willy's body. Now she is no different from a normal wizard."
Hearing his words, the old housekeeper felt relieved. After all, Willie was almost like his granddaughter to him. But at the same time, on the other side, Delphi, who also heard Blois's words, suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Have those... 'cursed substances' been completely stripped out?" She couldn't help but looked at Willy and asked, "So... Mr. McClain should have completely incorporated the soul rune." Are you in control?"
Nowadays, there are many people who know something about the rules and runes, and Mr. Blois in front of him can be regarded as one of them.
However, the only people who truly understand the rules of the soul are Maka and Haierbo - at least that's what Blois thinks.
Because even he himself only knew some fragmentary information and did not dare to claim to "understand" at all.
But now, when he heard Delphi's question, he suddenly realized that the other party's understanding of the rules of the soul and even the blood curse that Willy suffered from was by no means general.
However, Willie obviously doesn't think as much as her father. Because in her opinion, Delphi should be "one of her own" and does not need to be on guard.
Seeing Delphi asking herself, she said straightforwardly:
"No, Maka said that this power does not belong to him. And he also said that he wants me to find someone suitable for him to have this power..."
As he spoke, Willy seemed to suddenly realize something, and stared at Delphi in front of her and looked at her carefully.
"Doesn't belong to him? Then... No! Wait!"
Delphi obviously quickly understood what Willy meant from her words and actions, but she took a step back just as quickly and shook her head.
"Has Mr. McClain completely extracted the cursed substance? If so... I don't know about others, but it certainly won't belong to me."
At this point, she seemed to feel that something was wrong with what she said, and she suddenly fell silent and thought about something.
Seeing that Delphi himself said so, Willie, who never liked forcing others, nodded at that time, thought for a while and said:
"Okay then! I'll look for it again."
After saying this, she turned around, tugged on her father's sleeve and said:
"Then let's go! To Beauxbatons."
"good."
Mr. Blois responded immediately and nodded to the old butler beside him. But at about the same time, Charlie, who was not far away, also looked at the old butler and gave him a pleading look.
"Well," the old housekeeper hesitated for a moment, then looked at Blois who was about to apparate away and said, "Master, please wait a moment... I have a question about Mr. McLean."
"what is the problem?"
Although Willy's father is the head of the Blois family, the old butler is only the chief butler among the heads of the family. However, Blois still respected this old butler who had been serving the family all his life and had assisted him and his father for two generations of family heads.
When he saw him asking, Blois immediately stopped and looked towards him.
"It's like this," the old butler said slowly, "I heard from Mr. Weasley before that Mr. MacLean seems to have become a little strange recently. Head of the family, you have been with Mr. MacLean recently, so you should be aware of this." Are you aware of it? Is it true? "
Where this question comes from is clear. After listening to the old butler's question, Blois glanced at Charlie, but he didn't show any special emotions.
"Well," he paused for a moment before nodding, "Yes, compared to the past, sometimes things are a little inexplicable."
"In this case, does the head of the family know what is going on? And do we need to... you know, 'be wary' of something?" the old housekeeper continued.
However, this time, before Blois had time to speak, everyone saw Willy suddenly stand up.
"No need," she said seriously, "What are you talking about? That's Maka!"
…
There is no doubt that Maka's strange behavior is gradually having some bad effects - this is the case for Willy, and it seems to be the same for Hermione and the others.
"Why hasn't Maka come back yet? Where has he gone? Or...where else can he go?" Hermione sat in the back row of the prayer mat, staring blankly ahead, her mind filled with jumbled thoughts.
After hesitating for a moment, she finally said secretly:
"Could it be that... Maka is avoiding me on purpose?"
Since their separation on the island, Harry and the others managed to meet Maka once, although they were soon chased back. Not to mention Willie, even the Geofine sisters and Sarah were summoned to her side by Maka on her own initiative.
But Hermione was the only one who could never meet Maka. Even though with Luna's help, she finally made up her mind to leave everything behind and ran to Winchester, Maka disappeared again.
In this case, it is no wonder that she would have such thoughts.
"No," suddenly, Hermione gritted her teeth and shook her head, "Even if you do everything possible to avoid me, I will definitely see you and then ask you clearly! If you have anything, you can't talk to me. Did you say that?"
