Vol 2 Chapter 375: Principal Maxim

This is a very exquisite oil painting. It depicts a young girl tied to a cross; below her, a raging fire lit by wood is rising little by little and devouring her little by little...
　　
　　 Just as Jon was staring at this painting intently, the girl tied to the cross suddenly opened her eyes and stared at him.
　　
　　 was so scared that Jon turned around quickly
　　
　　 Fortunately, the the oil painting did not say much.
　　
　　 Opposite the oil painting is a statue. The image of the statue is a rooster. It is a very large one. Jon's eyes are close to two meters high. And behind the statue, the rooster seems to be guarding a bronze gate.
　　
　　 The rooster statue raised its head proudly, looked down at Jon from aloft, and then uttered, "Who are you, why are you here?"
　　
　　 Standing in front of such a giant chicken statue, Jon couldn't help feeling a bit of indescribable fear and oppression.
　　
　　 "I'm Christopher Patrick!" He quickly replied: "I want to find the principal, Mrs. Maxime... well... something to do with her!"
　　
　　 "The principal is inside!" The giant chicken said coldly, and swaggered to the side to make way for Jon.
　　
　　 Looking at the unobstructed bronze door in front of him, Jon was slightly stunned.
　　
　　 There is no password, no block, no notification... I didn’t expect it would be so easy for students to find the principal once in Busbarton.
　　
　　 "Hurry up!" The giant chicken statue on the side could not help but scolded.
　　
　　 Jon had to drag the slightly larger robe, quickly opened the bronze door and walked in.
　　
　　……
　　
　　 opened the bronze door and entered the principal’s office
　　
　　 For an instant, Jon felt like he had broken into the kingdom of giants in Gref's Travels.
　　
Tables, chairs, furniture, furnishings, everything is bigger than what Jon usually sees and close to a cup... For example, at a level of more than half a person, Jon spent a lot of effort to distinguish that it is actually a teapot; and the house. The bed on the other side, comparable to a cabin, was at least one meter above the ground, and Jon felt that it would be quite difficult for him to climb up.
　　
　　Mrs. Maxim in the office seemed to have noticed the movement in the room, and only heard her cold snort
　　
　　 Jon quickly turned his head and saw the headmistress of Busbarton sitting at the desk at the innermost side of the room. She was holding a magnifying glass in one hand and a document in the other.
　　
　　 "What's the matter?" She asked coldly.
　　
　　 "That's it, Mrs. Maxim..." Jon hurriedly walked over: "This is Christopher Patrick, from..."
　　
　　 Jon said half of his words, and then stopped abruptly...Because as he approached, the tall desk blocked all his sight, making him invisible to Mrs. Maxim.
　　
　　 Just when he was about to take a few steps back, the floor under his feet suddenly moved.
　　
　　 Like an earthquake, the marble floor under his feet began to rise suddenly... Jon had to maintain his calm and not let him fall.
　　
　　 The floor has risen by a distance of about one meter, and now most of Jon's body has been exposed on the desk, and he can clearly see Mrs. Maxim up close.
　　
　　 It seems that the other party is accustomed to this phenomenon a long time ago, and has been prepared.
　　
There was a strong perfume smell from the principal...Jon noticed her rough olive face, jet black eyes, and that very pointed nose; the huge opal jewelry was in Joan En eyes gleamed.
　　
　　Mrs. Maxim put the magnifying glass and the documents on the table. Jon noticed the normal-sized document, about the same size as her palm.
　　
　　 "Christopher Patrick?" She frowned and murmured.
　　
Then, she waved at the pile of documents on her right, and a series of documents were flying in the sky... But most of them flew back to the pile of documents again, only one, and flew to the female principal Hands.
　　
　　Mrs. Maxim picked up the magnifying glass again and began to read the documents in her hand.
　　
　　……
　　
　　 The reading process lasted for almost a minute, and Mrs. Maxim once again put down the magnifying glass and documents in her hand.
　　
"I transferred from Durmstrang a year ago, right... and then went to Hogwarts as an exchange student for a year." Apparently Mrs. Maxim had forgotten the short meeting with the boy a year ago. , She said solemnly: "So Mr. Patrick, what's the matter... If you are asking about freshmen's precautions, you should ask the fifth grade prefect Melanie Thierry..."
　　
　　 "That's it, Professor Maxim." Jon replied calmly, "I hope I can apply for a time off from school?"
　　
"Suspend school?" The principal's face changed suddenly: "Mr. Patrick, are you sure? If I am not mistaken, you are a fifth-grade student. The owls exam at the end of the fifth-grade semester is the most important thing in your life. It’s one of the exams in the country, and there will be no second chance; so, are you trying to choose to suspend school during this time? Is there any special reason?"
　　
　　 Jon certainly doesn't say arrogant words like "I don't think I can learn anything in school".
　　
He lowered his head and tried to make his voice a little heavier: "Professor Maxim... a very close friend of mine, she is seriously ill, almost incurable... She has very little life left, it is possible at any time After passing away, I hope I can suspend school during this time to accompany her!"
　　
　　 "If I remember correctly, Busbarton has not had an incurable student in recent years." Mrs. Maxim's cold and stern tone became calmer, she continued to ask.
　　
"Not a classmate... she was I met in the UK~EbookFREE.me~ Jon replied honestly: "The therapist at St. Mungo’s Magic Hospital said she might not survive Christmas, so I hope you Forgive me...I hope to be with her for the last period of her life..."
　　
"What kind of disease is it?" Mrs. Maxim's face became milder, and she asked softly: "There are not too many incurable diseases in the magic world... Tell me, let me see if there is any way. ?"
　　
　　 Jon was stunned.
　　
　　 He suddenly realized that the half-blood giantess in front of him was actually one of the best wizards in Europe.
　　
　　 has become the principal of the largest magic academy in Europe with a slightly "wonderful" appearance and a "bad" pedigree. Mrs. Olim-Maxim's magical attainments may be higher than I thought.
　　
　　 She might really give useful advice.
　　
　　 Jon took a deep breath, then replied grimly: "It's a blood curse, ma'am."
