The wind in Cherbourg picked up again, making the flags on the quay whistle.
The union logo on the flag looks a little distorted when the flag is swaying in the wind. If you look at it for a long time, you will even start to wonder whether it is like this.
Recently, many people have come to the camp, including Muggles and wizards. Since it is rare to get together in such a group, they naturally communicate with each other. However, it is obvious that these people, who can be regarded as prestigious in their respective worlds, do not seem to communicate very smoothly.
Even in today's environment, the cooperation between wizards and ordinary people has become inevitable and necessary.
Today, when all the people invited by Maxim as the current president of the International Federation of Wizards have almost arrived, another magnificent-looking sailing ship suddenly appeared in the nearby harbor. On the sea surface, the staff on the dock and some of the invited guests who were relaxing hand in hand at the port began to whisper to each other subconsciously.
There is no doubt that it is a magic ship, and... no matter who the people on it are, you can tell by the style of the ship that it will not be simple!
Just as the sailboat entered the harbor, more and more people gathered on the pier as a few people hurried back to report the news. In the end, even Madame Maxime appeared here - because the Federation employee who rushed to inform her had identified the origin of this big ship.
"Yes, it is indeed the coat of arms of the Rossi family."
Mrs. Maxim, standing among the subordinates, looked at the shield-shaped symbol hanging on the side of the bow of the ship and nodded slightly. Although her expression did not change at all, there was a hint of solemnity in her eyes.
To be honest, she had not expected that the three major families would send people to attend this funeral. After all, she thought that the three major families would definitely disdain this kind of gimmick and basically wishful thinking activity, let alone send people to participate.
However, the arrival of this magic ship belonging to the Rossi family clearly broke Maxim's judgment of the three major families - this was obviously a special trip to attend the funeral! If it were for other reasons, there would be no need to prepare such a vessel.
Here Maxim was secretly thinking about it, and the big ship over there finally docked steadily, and the side ramp was lowered.
Then, at the focus of many eyes on the pier, the first figure disembarking from the boat suddenly appeared.
"Who is that? Anyone you know, please tell me—"
"It's Miss Granger!"
"who?"
"Granger, Hermione Granger! Have you ever heard of anyone introducing the name of this camp? It is named after Miss Granger, who established this camp."
"Oh, no wonder I feel like I've heard it somewhere..."
"Ah! But the reason why you feel familiar is probably not this - the Wizards' Resistance Alliance has gained momentum some time ago. In addition to President Maxim, Miss Granger seems to be one of the three founders. ! I guess it sounds familiar to you because you heard about it."
"Oh oh oh, yes, it seems true when you say that. After all, although the resistance alliance seemed to have disintegrated and reorganized very quickly, it can also be regarded as the predecessor of the current Federation Army led by Mrs. Maxim... "
Similar low-pitched conversations intertwined among the people on the pier, forming a faint buzz. And in the midst of this whispering gaze, Hermione led Hannah, Neville and others down the gangway one after another.
Ron and Ginny, who went to pick them up, were naturally among them. In fact, they also received a lot of attention this time. After all, not long ago, the brother and sister and Sirius caused a minor disturbance in the camp where many guests gathered.
"Hey! That Miss Granger and the people behind her... Judging from their expressions, it seems... they seem to be coming with bad intentions, right?"
After paying attention for a while, I don't know who muttered something like this, which received soft approval from many people. At the same time, it also made the guests at the pier look at Hermione and others with more doubts and waits.
But soon, many eyes began to shift again, because behind Hermione and other friends, another group of figures began to enter everyone's field of vision.
The identities and origins of these people were unknown to many of the invited guests present. The faces felt very strange to them, and there seemed to be no clues at all from just searching through memory.
However, none of these wizards and Muggles, who are usually famous in their respective fields, would think that the other party is a group of insignificant people.
The first thing that appeared was a group of knights on Pegasus. They lined up neatly and took off from the deck of the ship that was invisible to the guests on the pier. They followed a few people wearing furs like an escort. The burly figures wearing wizard robes appeared and landed in formation on both sides of the gangway.
Following closely, a group of wizards wearing ivory white robes trimmed with gold slowly disembarked from the ship under the leadership of an old man with white beard and white hair.
As for the approximately ten or so men and women in cross-dressing who came down at the end, they were so inconspicuous compared to the first two groups of powerful people that most people regarded them as just followers on the ship. Ignored.
However, Madame Maxime, who was watching all this closely, would not miss a single face.
"Except for the very old man from the Matusievich family, the other two heads of the three major families are all here? This..."
This is not unexpected, this is simply incomprehensible to Maxim! You know, when the three major families notified the Federation to take over the Eastern Defense Line of the Second Battlefield, they only sent a phoenix to deliver a letter to her!
They...are all here to attend this funeral
Maxim could no longer understand the current situation. After being stunned for a while, she subconsciously turned her focus to Hermione and others at the front. Because she soon realized that since Hermione and the others came on this ship, the occurrence of this scene was probably related to them.
After hesitating for a moment, Maxim did not show his shock and hesitation, but chose to push away the guests, and took the initiative to greet him amidst the curious gazes of many pairs of eyes -
She is the president of the International Federation of Wizards and the organizer of the upcoming "Hero's Funeral". Even if she wasn't willing at the moment, she could only bite the bullet and take it.
"It's really, really bad." She thought to herself.
