" Beauxbatons is preparing to close the school? Is this true?"
When he heard the news, Blois couldn't help but frowned again.
Because Neville suddenly mentioned the presence of living corpses in Beauxbatons, Mr. Blois almost left in a hurry and returned to France. Fortunately, Bill, who left a message for Neville's patron saint, was quite thoughtful. Among the many new pieces of information, he also specifically added the news that Willie and the old housekeeper had arrived at the refuge community.
After knowing that nothing happened to his precious daughter, Mr. Blois calmed down a little.
However, when Neville then told the story about the closure of Beauxbatons, Blois's expression changed again.
"Since it was Bill who said it, it shouldn't be wrong, but..." Neville said, but couldn't help but ask, "What's going on with 'school closure'? Beauxbatons has finally had to enter a state of indefinite suspension. ?"
Due to the threat of disaster, many large and small schools in Western Europe have basically stopped teaching activities for the safety of teachers and students.
However, if there are schools that have suspended classes, there will naturally be schools that are still trying to persevere. When this disaster is very likely to turn into an indefinite struggle, those little wizards who have not yet grown up, perhaps This is the hope for victory in future struggles.
Because of this, Madame Maxime persisted.
Not only did she convince most of the professors to stay and continue teaching, she also contacted the French Ministry of Magic to borrow manpower to strengthen the campus's protection. She even founded the Resistance Alliance with Hermione in an attempt to attract more forces to help her Beauxbatons.
Unfortunately, it turned out that she failed.
The reason for its failure was not disaster, let alone laziness, but human nature.
The sway of most small and medium-sized forces, Mr. Blois's selfishness, and her own inferiority hidden under her strength. These days, many factors have caused her to continue to suffer setbacks. And the sinister plot of the head of the German Brandt family finally became the last straw that crushed the persistence in her heart.
"Closing the school...? In this season, it's really not a good choice."
Blois frowned and shook his head slightly. Then he roughly told the Beauxbatons past to the others present, and finally said:
"Forget it... Anyway, Potter, bring the first group of wizards over as soon as possible! This is definitely true. As for more manpower... After the first group arrives here, I will personally go back and gather them for you."
"Isn't it just to take the opportunity to go back to visit my daughter!" Safina on the side curled her lips. Seeing Blois turning to glare at her, she immediately looked at each other without hesitation and said, "Look what I am doing? I said it wrong. Are you ready? Humph, I still want to visit Ursula... Wait, according to what you just said, isn't Ursula going to be trapped in Beauxbatons?"
"Yes," Blois said, spreading his hands, "This is why I said that closing the school may not be a good idea - if the enemy can really break through, the walls originally used to defend against the intruders will immediately be destroyed. It turns into a cage that traps him in turn. And for an ancient dark wizard of Halbo's level... it's hard to say."
"I want to go back!"
In the blink of an eye, the one who was anxious to go to France changed from Mr. Blois to Safina. But until now, Neville hasn't finished all the news he wants to say!
To be honest, many things have become quite disturbing this time, both in the UK and outside.
"Safina, you can't go back, everyone still needs you!" Suddenly, Luna, who was sitting not far away, said, "So... leave Ursula's words to me!"
…
When some of the friends over at the Burrow talked about Maxim, the Beauxbatons principal who was being talked about was in a French town quite far away from the school.
Since there was no way to cover up the seriousness of the disaster, the Muggle public naturally learned about some of the embellished situations in some official announcements.
But reality is reality after all, even if the magical world exposed through this disaster is as bizarre as possible to ordinary Muggles. However, when more and more people have witnessed with their own eyes the undisguised activities of wizards in the Muggle world, it is obvious that they no longer believe it.
And it must be said that disasters are disasters after all. In the face of increasingly serious disasters, everyone has begun to take refuge. In a small town like this, even if it takes a little longer to actually take action, at least there are very few passers-by walking around in the streets and alleys recently.
As a result, it has become very difficult for Maxim to get some food to satisfy his hunger through more normal means in the past two days - after all, the magic spell cannot produce real ingredients.
However, a small town like this, where everyone is closed to the public, seems to be a good place for her to try to hide here.
After looking out the window a few times, Maxim closed the curtains again, and then returned his gaze to the figure on the bed.
You can see that there is a young girl tied up with magic chains lying on the bed. Although that ferocious and twisted face is really frightening, it is indeed just a girl.
Well, or rather... "living corpses".
After luring it away that day, after a series of hard battles, Maxim finally defeated the opponent with his strong physique and proficient magic skills, and barely restrained him.
Although she herself paid a high price.
However, even if he finally has it under control, what should he do next... To be honest, Maxim really has no idea this time.
The Brandt family's conspiracy is actually not very sophisticated. If Maxim is really determined to solve this matter, there are many ways. But the great thing about the Brandt family head is that he may have already identified Maxim's biggest weakness - the safety of Beauxbatons teachers and students.
The Brandt family can send a living corpse to Beauxbatons today, and the second one tomorrow; today they can send a living corpse to Maxim, but who knows which nook and corner they can send tomorrow
Visible threats are certainly scary, but hidden dangers that are visible but cannot be touched and may erupt at any time are often the most troublesome.
And at that time, just because Maxim thought of this, she finally decided to ask the professor to start preparing to start the school closure plan.
As for why she is hiding here now... It's very simple. In order to prove her innocence and confirm the conspiracy of the head of the Brandt family, she needs the most reliable witness!
