Chapter 1780: Stained friendship

"Hello, Ms. DeQueen ... Although it's such a time, I'm happy to meet you."
After introduced by Mrs. Maxim, Hermione originally wanted to say something to the other party about her current situation and her own thoughts. But when she thought of the old housekeeper reminding her before, she could wait and see how it changed at first. She hesitated a little bit, but decided to do as the old housekeeper said.
So she simply said hello to the other party.
"Oh, I'm glad to meet you too!"
Very standard British English, and with some London accent Hermione bet, this Ms. Dequin must have actually lived in the UK for some time.
Of course, the other party has not been to the UK is obviously not the point of meeting today. Hermione just nodded and smiled, and Ms. Dequen nodded slightly, and then went to say a few words to the old housekeeper.
After a short while, the four people re-seat around this little round table covered with colorful brocade tablecloths. As the host, Ms. DeQueen finally took the lead in speaking:
"I didn't expect three VIPs to visit my two magic schools in Boothbatten, Belgium, and Hogwarts this morning, as well as the French Blois family with an ancient wizarding heritage. Oh, if the three could inform me in advance Just a moment, I must have someone arrange the highest etiquette before I dare let you in! "
She had a relaxed tone, a calm face, and a humorous speech. Her mouth even had a smile that made people feel like a breeze, and the sadness in her office before could be described as two people.
However, this vaguely showed her attitude towards the meeting: after the rejoicing of reuniting with Mrs. Maxim's old friend, she still remembers her identity, and in the role of her Belgian Minister of Magic, this conversation In the end, it has to be pulled down in a more "official" state.
As Hermione mentioned just now, this level of meeting at this "opportunity" is inevitably imaginative.
However, neither Hermione nor the old housekeeper expressed their opinions on this, but left the right of speech to Madame Maxim with a brief silence.
"D'Queen ... Ah, sorry, it's time to call you 'Minister D'Queen' ..."
Although some of the giant's blood flowed in Mrs. Maxim's body, her wisdom was not inferior to that of most people, otherwise she could not hold the Booth firmly in the eyes of many discriminations and doubts. The post of President Barton.
With this opening, she consciously mixed her personal relationship with Dequin again into the dialogue. And she said it the other way around, so that De Quine didn't even know if it should be carried away with a slight reluctance, or she simply called Maxim's mind to euphemism.
Yes, although she and DeQueen are indeed a teacher and friend relationship, both sides now bear a lot of responsibilities.
Otherwise, why have they always been linked by personal letters all these years? It is because they both understand that both parties are the kind of people who are willing to give everything for their duties. Once the friendship between the two involves work, this rare friendship will certainly not be so pure.
Maxim did not stop, and then smiled:
"Just a joke! You also saw that we didn't come here with great fanfare just to make this meeting less formal. We are friends, don't we? You know, we are friends, but I know you must have been every day recently. It ’s been a difficult life ... The dangers of this disaster are obvious to everyone, and no one can hide the status of everyone. "
After all, the two were friends, and Mrs. Maxim talked, and gradually put aside the somewhat aggressive momentum before. In her words, she slowly became more sincere.
"I know your difficulties, and I think you should also know our difficulties." She paused, and then continued, "You see, the fact that Blois was destroyed overnight by Hilbo is almost now Everyone knows, and we Booth Barton have to hide in order to avoid igniting the upper body ... and although the news has not yet spread, in fact, Hogwarts Castle has also been in Haierbo with Mr. McLean It was destroyed in a fierce battle "
"what!"
This news is undoubtedly a huge shock for Dequin.
You know, at present, almost all forces are watching Maca and Haierbo playing back and forth, and everyone is expecting Maca to win. But who knows, Maca, who was born in Hogwarts, also failed to keep his "root" under Haierbo's men.
Hmm ... no, think about it, is this a failure that should be called Maca? Or should he say he has enough foresight?
The decision to arrange the departure of all the teachers and students in Hogwarts in advance made Haierbo destroy only an empty shell.
As a matter of fact, Mrs. Maxim expressed this "hot news", and naturally had a purpose.
Today, too many people rely on Maca, but Maca cannot protect everyone alone. At the moment, most of these forces are just silently watching, and they are actually very dangerous! She had to shake the big guys a little bit, so that they could be united and work hard to resist the huge crisis that might be coming.
Only after De Quine had eased a bit and recovered from the astonishment at the destruction of Hogwarts Castle, Maxim continued:
"D'Queen, let me tell you the truth! This time we come to ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Actually, I want to form a resistance alliance composed of multiple forces. Whoever resists will not need to say me, right? Let you understand that you can't wait any longer. This is not a battle on the part of the British magic world, let alone a war of Mr. McLean alone! "
Hermione was so impressed when he heard Mrs. Maxim that she wanted to say something subconsciously. But at this moment, the old housekeeper next to her gestured her with an eye, apparently asking her not to interject at this time.
"Can't speak yet? Mr. Housekeeper meant before, didn't it make me see clearly the relationship between Mrs. Maxim and Ms. DeQueen?"
And while Hermione was in doubt, Ms. DeQueen, who had been listening to Maxim's words, finally took a deep breath, and then slowly said:
"Olim, you came to me this time, maybe I didn't want me to join this‘ Rebel Alliance ’? Well, at least your biggest purpose is definitely not this.

As she was talking, she suddenly turned around again, as if sighing for no apparent reason:
"You should know, Erich and I ... haven't seen each other for a long time."
