After shaking hands with Ryan, Lucius seemed to relax a lot. In the following time, in order to show his sincerity in cooperation, he began to tell Ryan and Hermione some stories about European pure-blood families. As a person who wanted to avoid close relatives
As a family that has continuously married into various pure-blood families in Europe, the Malfoy family does have a good understanding of the pure-blood wizards in Europe.
"——The general situation is this. This time when we go to Beauxbatons, we will mainly meet some French pure-blood family members. I will introduce them here first. As for the other people, I will introduce them to you on the spot after seeing them."
"That's enough. Anyway, I need to thank you." Ryan said seriously. Lucius Malfoy's explanation this time made up for the biggest problem for him. Before, he had no channel to figure out those things in the wizarding world.
The grudges and grudges between families.
"You're welcome," Lucius stood up with his cane. "This is also the value of my participation in the operation. It is work within the scope of my responsibilities. Okay, I'm going to take a rest now. If you have anything, you can come.
Find me." After saying that, he turned behind the sofa and pushed open the door of the lounge and walked in.
As expected of the head of a pure-blood family, after saying these things, he knew that he was not popular with Ryan and the others, so he simply found an excuse to leave space for Ryan and Hermione.
There was no conversation all the way. At two o'clock in the afternoon, after a four-hour flight, they finally arrived at the scheduled location near Perpignan: a clearing in the mountainous forest. After getting off the carriage, Ryan saw that there was already a two-horse carriage.
A small pink-blue carriage pulled by the talisman is waiting here. A young wizard wearing a blue silk robe is waiting here.
"Welcome, guests from Hogwarts." The wizard said in French, and then stretched out a hand to make a gesture of invitation, "Please get in the car, the rest of the journey will be completed by the rune carriage.
Beauxbatons will ensure that your carriage remains intact until departure."
"It seems that not every school is as willing to share the secrets of their school with everyone as Hogwarts is." After getting on the bus, Hermione looked at the luxurious carriage curiously, and finally her eyes fell on the carriage that was completely covered by a large number of decorations.
Said on the car: "This car can't see the outside scene at all."
"Of course." Ryan picked up a beautiful-looking cream pastry from the table and took a bite. "In fact, the whole of Europe, our Hogwarts, is a special case. The founders of the school swore that
You need to spread the knowledge you have. That’s why the location of Hogwarts is made public to the wizarding world, which expresses an open academic attitude.”
The distance between the scheduled location and Beauxbatons was not far, and they arrived at their destination after just ten minutes of flying. After the carriage landed and stopped, the door opened automatically. Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry appeared in front of them.
Unlike the castle-like buildings of Hogwarts, Beauxbatons is made up of more than a dozen palace-style buildings. The main bodies of these buildings are made of red bricks and gray granite, with many exquisite sculptures and gilded ironwork on them.
Railings. The top roof is dark blue and has a lot of gold-plated decorations, giving the overall feeling of grandeur.
Now they are standing in the square in the middle of a concave-shaped building. The entire square is covered with black and white marble floor tiles. In the center of the square is a small fountain made of white marble, and the bronze fountain in the middle is full of exquisite reliefs.
A dozen golden sculptures of mythological figures are placed on the gilded base.
"Gift of Nicholas Flamel and his wife, 1427." Ryan whispered the content on the gold-inlaid bronze plaque on the marble.
"Yes, this is the fountain donated by Nicolas Flamel, one of our most famous alumni." After hearing Ryan's murmur, the senior Beauxbatons student responsible for guiding the way puffed out his chest and said.
To this day, we have the best alchemy courses in Europe. Even in the world, only the Eye of Horus in Egypt, the Palace of Wisdom in Babylon, and the Chinese Alchemist Academy in China can compare with us."
Having said this, the young man paused and looked at Ryan and said: "I heard that as the school director of Hogwarts, you are also good at alchemy, so you can take some time to communicate with everyone."
"Of course." Ryan nodded. "By the way, where are we going now?"
"The principal's office, Madam Maxime is already waiting for you there." After following the young wizard down the white marble stairs to the fourth floor, Ryan and the three of them walked into Beauxbatons' principal's office.
Ryan and the others have been to Dumbledore's office many times. If the first impression given by Principal Dumbledore's office is that it is mysterious, then the first impression given by Mrs. Maxim's office is that it is simply large.
Yes, the most intuitive feeling of this office is that it is big. For example, there is a high-backed chair that is spacious enough for two people, a matching huge desk, and that elegant but slightly huge woman.
"Nice to meet you, Ryan." As the champion of the last Triwizard Tournament, Ryan left a deep impression on Madam Maxim. So she recognized Ryan at once, "I didn't expect that just over two years later,
You have actually grown to this point."
"It's just a special situation." Ryan said straightforwardly without being polite. "It should be said that this is a very bad situation. I would rather be an ordinary student to complete my studies, worry about exams, and occasionally have sex with my lover.
Let’s take a walk by the lake together instead of taking on such an important task like now.”
"Yes, the current situation is indeed very bad." Madam Maxime immediately sat up straight and said seriously. "This is why I am talking to you alone, and specifically avoided the representatives of the British Ministry of Magic who are downstairs.
"
"I'm glad you made the choice you made now," Ryan said. "But when the French Ministry of Magic decides to remain neutral, what can we do? At least starting from the first day of school, apart from getting very few supplies from China,
Otherwise we have been fighting alone.”
"I'm sorry, because the first thing the French Ministry of Magic does is to protect our people." Madame Maxime said calmly. "So in order to avoid spreading the war to this land, sometimes it is necessary to make certain compromises.
of."
"Of course, I certainly understand your traditional approach," Ryan nodded. "After all, this war now belongs to us. But I need to point out that the ambition of the mysterious man is definitely not limited to Britain. Once we cannot support it,
If so, their next expansion goal is very obvious.",
"Of course we understand this, at least I understand this." Madam Maxime raised her voice slightly and said seriously. "So I hope that a connection and cooperation can be established between the two schools Beauxbatons and Hogwarts.
."
"Thank you!" Ryan and the others bowed to Madame Maxime again from the bottom of their hearts. They knew that although this behavior was not the behavior of the Ministry of Magic, as the only magic school in France, Beauxbatons' actions could also represent
A French view of both sides of the present war with Britain.
Although the French Ministry of Magic acquiesced to the British Ministry of Magic in London because they did not want to be involved in the war. However, in order to avoid Voldemort's next expansion ambition, the French wizarding community decided to use the connection between Beauxbatons and Hogwarts schools to
Hogwarts provides some assistance.
For the next 20 minutes, the four people exchanged words and discussed the content of the assistance. Fortunately, they finally reached an agreement that satisfied both parties before leaving.
