Madame Maxime likes to be businesslike in her work.
As the principal of Beauxbatons, it was indeed not an easy journey for her. In this era where non-human hybrid wizards are still criticized to varying degrees, no matter how much Maxim insists on denying her bloodline, the traces of her giant hybrid are still too obvious.
But even so, she still never gave up and relied on her own abilities to get to where she is now step by step.
As for the reason why she is able to have her current identity and status in the magical world, in addition to her strong self-discipline, it is because she has always insisted on the word "business is business" in her work and communication.
If you want to prevent others from grasping any of your handles, the best way is not to protect your handles watertight, nor to cunningly and insidiously push your handles into others' arms, but to not create any handles that can be used from the beginning. Give people a handle to grasp.
At this point, Madame Maxime seems to have done an excellent job.
However, when many people who had come into contact with her thought that she seemed to be a proud "big" witch who was strict and unkind, everyone did not know... This Mrs. Olim Maxim His true character is actually not like this.
It's not that she likes to do everything "officially", but she knows that if she really follows her own temperament, she will definitely suffer.
To put it simply - Maxim is hiding his weakness.
…
"...It just happens to be a personal letter."
At this moment, Madam Maxime was looking at the envelope on the table... to be more precise, she was looking at the signature of "Minerva McGonagall" on the envelope and whispering to herself. And there was already a look of helplessness on her face.
Yes, this is Maxim's biggest weakness in her life - in private, she is a good person who repays kindness.
If this is placed on personal quality, it is naturally extremely excellent, but if it is placed in some intrigue environment, it is very easy to be taken advantage of.
Fortunately, Maxim is also a very perseverant and persistent person. Through a high degree of self-discipline, she covered up this weakness that was not a weakness.
Unfortunately, it is not difficult for a person not to be kind to others, but it is very difficult to prevent oneself from being favored by others - this is not something that one can decide.
So... obviously, she didn't actually do it perfectly.
In fact, Madame Maxime had known Dumbledore before she became the principal of Beauxbatons.
Not only that, she was still working hard to make friends with others to gain fame, but because of a mistake, her life fell into a low ebb, and she was even involved in a dark wizard case.
At that time, she was unable to argue, and she thought that she might have to spend more than ten years in a wizard prison.
But just when she was feeling desperate, Dumbledore, who had not had much interaction with her at the time, suddenly came forward for her and used a set of evidence to eliminate her suspicion in the case.
This was a favor, a huge favor—even though Dumbledore didn't express anything to her at the time or afterwards, Maxim would definitely not forget this great favor that cleared his name. of.
But unfortunately, even Maxim did not want to always owe others a favor, even though she had thought about how to repay Dumbledore many times after that. But she soon discovered that the other party didn't seem to need her help at all.
As a result, this friendship has been delayed, until it has gradually turned yellow and faded over time.
But it was clear that Madame Maxime had indeed never forgotten it.
Over the years, whenever Hogwarts had any external activities that needed to be held, she often supported them; whenever Hogwarts professors had any research published in journals, she would always send it to them. Handwritten congratulations—that’s how she and Mag got to know each other.
Even now, the reason why she supports Hermione and helps her build an alliance together, in addition to Maka's factors, is actually more of a repayment for the deceased Dumbledore.
Even if she had done so much intentionally or unintentionally, she would definitely not be able to truly repay Dumbledore now, but doing so would at least give her a sense of peace of mind.
And... To be honest, most of these things have no actual harm to her, and some are even beneficial to her. So why doesn't she do this
However, the meaning of the letter that came to her desk today was completely different from the help that came along with the situation.
Because besides explaining his request and simple greetings, McGonagall basically only had one sentence left in the letter: "Albus said before that if you encounter huge trouble and are in need, Perhaps I can ask Madame Maxime to do you a favor.”
In fact, the whole letter did not mention the past incident of Dumbledore helping her when she was in trouble. Maxim even felt that Dumbledore might not have told McGonagall the situation from beginning to end. listen.
But just like this, it became harder for Maxim to refuse. Even though she had just taken on heavy responsibilities and had no energy to distract herself, she could not convince herself to ignore Mag's letter.
A weakness is a weakness. If it could be corrected, it wouldn't be called a weakness anymore.
"But... Did Minerva focus on this letter that I wrote after I sat in this seat?" Madame Maxime thought for a while, then unfolded the letter again, staring at the content and muttering to herself. Said, "This is not easy to handle!"
In fact, Professor McGonagall mentioned in her letter that she and all the teachers and students of the former Hogwarts had landed in Genoa, Italy, and were temporarily accepted by the Medici family in Italy.
However, even if the Medici family has been on good terms with Hogwarts since thousands of years ago, it is still not appropriate for so many teachers and students to remain in the family.
However, through the exchanges with the Medici family in the past few days, Mag learned more about the turmoil in the entire European magic world. It is almost impossible to find a place where so many teachers and students can live temporarily under the current situation.
With this disaster and the constant threat of Herbo, the whole of Europe will inevitably become panicked.
At this time, it is difficult for people to feel safe and secure no matter where they place teachers and students.
Mag probably understands this. Therefore, she also put this problem in front of Madame Maxime... and the letter was sent in a personal way, which made Madam Maxime unable to refuse at all.
