Although most of them are not good things, recently, there have suddenly been more things that can be discussed safely in front of Mr. and Mrs. Weasley.
For example, the disaster in Denmark, the movements of the Brandt family in Germany, Beauxbatons' decision to close the school, the imminent return of the Change... No matter which one of these things, for a while, it seemed to be related to the current situation of Harry and the others. The action is just as compelling.
Yes, at least objectively speaking, that is true.
"... In short, the chaos that happened in Beauxbatons today is probably a conspiracy. However, at least in my opinion, it can only be said to be a failed conspiracy - I don't know what the Brandt family is doing. How did they get the living corpse into Beauxbatons, but the strength displayed by the living corpse has obviously exceeded the expectations of the 'initiator'."
At the dinner table, Lupine, who had finished his meal, was telling everyone about everything he had witnessed in Beauxbatons this morning, and from time to time he would insert a few of his own guesses and thoughts. Although it cannot be guaranteed to be completely correct, the old butler who knows the Brandt family very well casually added corrections and analyzed the truth behind this incident to a close degree.
Finally, Sirius on the side intervened and asked:
"What about Madame Maxime? Have you gone back?"
When Lu Ping heard this, he immediately shook his head.
"I don't know about that," he said, "after all, we didn't wait until the end. But with the strength that Madam Maxime showed today, I think even if she can't defeat the living zombie Ida Brand Especially...it shouldn't be life-threatening! Well, it depends on whether she can get rid of the other party."
Having said this, Lu Ping couldn't help but sigh apologetically.
"Based on our friendship, I should have helped at that time, but -"
"Don't think too much," Kingsley, who was sitting opposite, touched his bald head and looked at Lupine and said, "According to the situation you said, even if you take action at that time, it will be useless. You should know it yourself."
"I know."
Lu Ping waved his hand briefly, and then changed the topic:
"Let's not talk about this for now... All in all, Beauxbatons may start to completely close the school at any time. Mr. Butler also said just now that the closed state will be very thorough, and the reliability does not seem to be low. —Of course, if something goes wrong by actively trapping oneself in place like this, the consequences will definitely be quite serious."
"so?"
Sirius glanced at him again.
"If any of us want to go, I think it's an option, so I'm just here to give a reminder. If we really want to go... at least Beauxbatons probably won't mind a small group of people." Lupine spread his hands. He said, "Mr. Butler, what do you think?"
"Indeed," the old butler also nodded and said, "According to the records of my Blois family, Beauxbatons' ancient magic for sealing is quite powerful. At least based on the power of living corpses that we know so far, it should be It’s difficult to break through. However, if Haierbo takes action himself, it’s impossible to say.”
The fact is, everything is full of variables. But having said that, if Haierbo really came to France in person to take action, that means...at least half of Europe is almost finished, right
"What about the withdrawal from France mentioned earlier?" On the other side, Ron's father Arthur couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Butler, if we really withdraw from France, where should we go next?"
"It depends on the judgment of the family council. I think we should retreat to Switzerland temporarily!" the old butler quickly said, "For large-scale disaster evacuation plans that cannot be dealt with, the family has always had a prepared plan. From Switzerland We have relatively complete facilities and resources when we go to Africa... However, after all, France is the root of our Blois family, and it is difficult to abandon it easily. I think the family council will consider retreating to the refuge in Switzerland first and then observing it. , choose follow-up plans according to the situation."
Having said this, the old housekeeper couldn't help but pause for a moment.
"However, if the head of the family rushes back before that, then the next actions will definitely take the order of the head of the house as priority... In fact, I have been considering sending someone to contact the head of the house first."
However, as he said this, he subconsciously turned his head and glanced towards the door - he understood that, in the final analysis, the future movements of the Blois family would definitely be related to the young lady's opinion. Even if the head of the family is called back, the situation probably won't change much.
However, this is just a family matter of the Blois family, and there is obviously no need to say more here.
After thinking about it for a while, the old housekeeper finally said:
"So, what Mr. Lupin said just now is indeed correct. Beauxbatons is still relatively trustworthy. Maybe you can try to evacuate with them there. And correspondingly, follow the actions of our Blois family, It is also a choice. With the head of the family and the lady here, no one will object to your joining... You can consider these two options."
Having said that, Lu Ping found that he seemed to have nothing to add, because the old butler had basically explained the overall situation for him.
Although, no matter which side is dependent on others, it is not an easy choice for people to decide.
After the words fell, everyone at the table fell into silence.
…
At this moment, compared with the solemn atmosphere in Aberforth's "private bar", Willie's place diagonally across the street seemed much more relaxed.
After not seeing Cathy and all her friends for such a long time, Willie really missed them. After all, the days when she lived in Chateau Blois, apart from not having her best friend Maka by her side, should have been the most lively time in her more than ten years of life.
Perhaps it is precisely because of the nostalgia and lust for those days that the warmth and sunshine are once again on Weili's face, which has become less smiley recently.
Even though she wasn't as relaxed as she appeared on the surface, she didn't want to show too much inexplicable heaviness in front of her old friends...especially the children who were rescued by Maka back then.
"Yes! Maka tried every possible means to solve the problem of my blood curse, isn't it just to make me smile again?"
Sometimes Willy can't help but think so, especially when she is taking care of flowers and plants, she often thinks about similar problems.
Unfortunately, even so, it was difficult for her to show a real smile.
It was like... there was always a sense of gloom in her chest, and she had already tried her best just to prevent it from bursting out.
Perhaps because of this, she became more and more silent during this period.
Although, the silence now is actually completely different in nature from the reticence of the past.
