Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 2646: Fragrance
()"Miss Granger, I see that the Resistance Alliance is active again on the front line of fighting against disasters, leading so many brave men to fight for the survival of mankind. As the lady who once assisted me in establishing it It’s a real honor to be one of the best.”
In Hermione's temporary office with simple furnishings, the old butler was calmly taking guest seats.
Well, it is said to be a guest seat, but it is actually just a lonely armchair.
In fact, even Hermione only had one more ordinary desk than this one for office work—there are all kinds of documents piled up there, obviously not suitable for entertaining guests.
However, even in such a simple environment, the temperament of the old butler that has already penetrated into the bones is still visible to the naked eye. Whenever he is present, people always feel extremely comfortable, and even anxiety and anxiety seem to be ironed out.
"Don't say that," Hermione looked at the other party and said, "Mr. Steward is not just as simple as having assisted. If Mr. hadn't been in charge back then, Mrs. Maxime and I would not have been able to make it stand firm. Mr. is one of the founders, which is something that almost everyone in the league knows today.”
"Oh, I don't remember that I have done such a remarkable thing!" The old butler said with a smile, "What's more, the Rebel Alliance that has been reactivated now is far from the one that was only used to test The temporary organization of the attitudes of all parties has nothing to do with me..."
As the old gentleman said this, seeing that Hermione seemed to want to correct him again, he waved at her.
"Don't worry about this little thing," he said, "and I don't want to get out of it. As for the initiative to launch a counterattack plan proposed and led by Miss Granger this time, I , and Mr. Patriarch behind me, they all agree very much... Otherwise, I would not appear in front of Miss today."
Hearing this, Hermione's eyes lit up.
"Mr. Butler, you mean—"
"Yes," the old housekeeper nodded lightly with a smile, "Although Mr. Patriarch didn't come, my visit this time has already represented the attitude of Mr. Patriarch—Miss Granger must know that, In fact, I just separated from my lady not long ago and returned home in a hurry. I originally went to listen to the owner's views on the current situation. Speaking of which, the owner of the house has a very good opinion of your previous decision, Miss Granger. High. Especially the matter of obtaining the friendship of those intelligent living corpses is really a stroke of foresight."
"Oh, I just..." Hermione couldn't help laughing, "I just think that since they have wisdom, self, and the same feelings as us, they shouldn't be enemies anymore. And At that time, Rebes and the others also just expressed their desire to coexist peacefully with us humans... This can only be said to be, it naturally became like this? At least I didn't feel that I had put in much effort to do so. Deliberately contributed to this matter."
Although she said so, she also knew in her heart that becoming friends with the group of intelligent living corpses headed by Rebes is definitely beneficial and harmless.
Leaving aside the forward-looking stuff, after all, who knows what will happen in the future? But even if she only looked at her eyes, how much help did she get after having the help of those high-level living corpses? This is almost obvious.
However, there are some things, at least Hermione doesn't want to be so snobbish. If everything is viewed through the lens of seeking profit, then even the purest friendship seems to change its taste all of a sudden.
"Oh, I was rude, Miss Granger." The old butler is worthy of being a butler for decades, and he instantly sensed Hermione's thoughts, "But please don't pay too much attention to it. Actually Most of the time, there is no conflict between whether there is any benefit and whether to do it. Just like this thing, it is only after the young lady did it that she just happened to get the benefit-this does not prove on the contrary, "Give someone a rose, Do you leave a lingering fragrance in your hand (Therosesihe;inmine)'?"
"Uh...um." Hermione thought for a while, then nodded.
On the other side, after comforting Hermione, the old butler continued: "Then, I think we should take advantage of this excitement and talk about the business!"
"...Is it about the United States?"
Hermione's expression lifted, and she thought that the important point was finally coming.
However, the next moment, the old housekeeper shook his head gently and said to her:
"Well, actually, I know what the lady is thinking about--after all, Mr. Black and his party went to see the Patriarch before, and that's what they did! But I have to say, the Stewart family is now It’s actually not that important to plan something carefully. At least, it’s far from as bad as Miss imagined... These are the words of the head of the house.”
"It's not important?" Hermione looked very shocked when she heard this, "If what John Stewart said is true, it means that we will be stabbed deeply in the back at any time Dangerous! According to my guess, what he said is very likely to be true!"
"Yes!" The old butler nodded, "That's true. The Stewart family has gone astray, and it was like this a long time ago... But, miss, according to your understanding of the existence of 'living corpses' , do you think the Stewart family... can they really easily transform humans into living corpses in batches?”
"This..."
"Perhaps they have indeed achieved something~IndoMTL.com~The old butler continued, "With the research on the 'Obscurant' who has many similarities with it a long time ago, and the long-term experience after the disaster Keep silent, there must be something in the hands of the Stuart family. But I don't believe that they can achieve any great things - neither does the Patriarch. You know, it was the product that Haierbo had spent a lot of time and effort to produce by means of demon summoning. The Stuart family wanted to artificially create it by other methods? Is it that simple? "
Here, Hermione was still silent, but the old butler suddenly changed the subject again.
"Of course," he frowned, "more importantly, the opponents in front of us are not comparable to a mere Stewart family who has gone astray." Witch Kern ', did you? In fact, after hearing the name from Mr. Black, the Patriarch rummaged through the books in my Blois family library and found some... that made us feel bad The content of the record... I heard that the lady is planning to go to Hogwarts Castle? I think, after hearing this clue, the lady had better think about it again..."
