Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 261: Edward LeMay
The two Boothbarton boys across from the fountain quarreled a lot, but Fleur seemed to be afraid to avoid it, and without any explanation to Maca, she greeted him and Luna to make a quiet detour. Avoid.
Seeing Furong's appearance, why doesn't Maca understand?
It's just that this thing obviously has nothing to do with him, and Furong didn't want to explain at all, so he shrugged and followed Luna with him.
The interior of Boothbarton Castle has a remarkable Baroque style. Whether it is a table, chair, carpet or style sculpture, it is exquisite, gorgeous and unrestrained in the complexity, and the color contrast is sharp and strong, and it is extremely impactful.
After avoiding the dispute on the side of the fountain far away, Furong put on her gentle and slightly proud smile, and while leading Maca and Luna forward, she introduced them from time to time. The history of the various decorations in the gallery.
And her younger sister Gabrielle, quietly following behind her sister, appears very well-behaved and sensible.
Looking at the teaching environment of Boothbarton School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Maca also had to nod his head. Compared to Hogwarts, Boothbarton is obviously much richer!
Who has a good alumnus who can produce gold by alchemy?
He controls his words and deeds at any time to maintain the necessary etiquette, but the pair of eyeballs glances at all kinds of valuable things, thinking about the value contained in them. .
Naturally, their line of business is not just wandering around like this. At least, before that, they have to go around in front of the principal, Mrs. Maxim, and say hello to continue walking.
Following Furong all the way to the top floor, Maca and Luna first stopped in front of a gorgeous gate, and let Furong and Gabriel go in and inform Maxim.
Furong came out first without letting them wait too long.
"Mr. McLean," she said softly, "the principal is receiving guests now..."
"We will be fine after a while."
Maca didn't want Furong to think that she would neglect herself, so she nodded and said first, but without expecting it, the other party shook her head.
"...No, it's not like that," Furong explained. "The guest heard that he was a student from Hogwarts, so he wanted to see him too..."
Speaking of this, she added, "...that's Mr. Nick Lemay's butler."
Macadam nodded even though he knew it.
"Mr. Nick Lemay and Professor Dumbledore are good friends, it must be because of this reason..." He thought for a while, then gestured, "Then say hello together! Otherwise, you will be rude. Up."
But even though he said so, he was muttering that the history of magic has been ruined. Nick Lemay didn't know if he and his wife had both passed away. After seeing the housekeeper, how should he say hello?
Is it possible to ask: "Hey! Are your husband and wife dead?"
But no matter what he thinks, since they have mentioned it, they still need to see it.
Following Furong opened the door and entered, a wide room immediately caught Maca's eyes. There are luxurious decorations everywhere, whether it is desks, bookcases and coat racks, or sofa chairs for hospitality, there is no secret of grace.
At this moment, the tall Mrs. Maxim is sitting steadily on the sofa. Opposite is a white-bearded wizard who is obviously the old housekeeper of Nick Lemay's house.
"Mrs. Maxim, it's an honor to see you again. It hasn't been long since the last parting, and this will bother you again. If there is any rudeness, please don't mind!"
Maca was talking idioms, but his gaze turned to Maxime first, and then moved to the old housekeeper very naturally.
"You must be the steward of Mr. Nicklemay's house," he went on politely, "Professor Dumbledore often talked to me about Mr. Nicklemay's alchemy talent. Although I don't know much about alchemy, But I also admire Mr. Lemay’s achievements... Don’t know how I should call you?"
"Don't be so polite," the old butler smiled. "You can call me Edward... I just heard that Mr. Dumbledore's student has arrived, and I want to meet on behalf of the host."
While speaking, the old housekeeper Edward looked at Maca for a while, and then continued: "I heard the master mentioned earlier that he said that Mr. McLean was Mr. Dumbledore’s best student. When he heard about you When I transferred to Durmstrang, I didn’t believe it!"
When Edward brought up the matter, Maca's expression did not change at all, and his face still maintained a calm smile.
"Yes! Speaking of it, I don't believe it either!" Maca smiled, "It's just that there are always various unexpected changes in this world. Every step in life will lead me to a completely different future."
He didn't mean to explain anything about this matter at all, he would understand if he could understand it, and he didn't need to explain so much if he couldn't understand it.
Perhaps because there are any kind of masters, there are all kinds of servants, and this old butler also seems to be very knowledgeable. Although Maca used to make a big fuss in the Quidditch World Cup finals and was unrelated to the evil Death Eaters, the old man was still calm.
"Mr. McLean is really smart, and the last sentence casually said is thought-provoking..."
Probably can’t stand this old and young praising each other, Mrs. Maxim quickly reached out and gestured to Maca: "Mr. McLean, don’t stand, please sit down! And this... Luo Miss Goodgood?"
In the second event of the Triwizard Tournament, Luna was imprisoned in the maze as a hostage of Maca, so Mrs. Maxim was still somewhat impressed.
"Yes, this is Luna Lovegood, a student at Ravenclaw College."
Maca introduced Luna without being polite, and took Luna to sit on the vacant sofa chair next to her.
Luna, who was following him, heard them mentioning herself, so she leaned in slightly, with a slightly dazed smile on her face.
Seeing them sitting down, Fleur and Gabriel smiled at them, and then went out first.
"How do you feel about coming to Boothbarton today? I don't know if you are satisfied with the environment here?" Mrs. Maxim smiled. "If there is any place you want to visit, I can ask Dracul to take you there later. , Don’t be too restrictive."
Maca nodded politely and joked: "Your school’s teaching environment is very beautiful, and I can’t help but want to stay here to go to school. I’ve heard about it as early as Hogwarts, and your school’s grants are comparable. Both Hogwarts and Durmstrang are taller!"
To tell you the truth, although Maca has been feeling Bussbarton’s gold on the way, he is really not interested in letting him live in this kind of place.
Boothbaton’s school rules are actually very strict, especially in terms of etiquette, which are cumbersome and sometimes even harsh.
One of Busbarton’s traditions is that when the principal enters the room, the students must stand upright, and they can only sit down until the principal is seated, in order to show respect for the principal.
If he wants to live in this kind of place for a year or a half, does he still have to do anything?
Whether he is at Hogwarts or Durmstrang, he has kept everything simple and focused on magic research, and when did he pay attention to etiquette.
Now that Boothbatten is a guest, he can still pretend to deal with it, but if it takes a long time, he won't be exhausted?
"Oh... I'm relieved to hear you say that!" Of course Mrs. Maxim knew that he was joking, so she smiled, "If possible, please stay at school for a few more days. There are rooms specially prepared for guests. Now it’s summer vacation. Mr. McLean can stay and experience the beauty of Busbarton more."
Of course, there is nothing wrong with staying for a few days, but if we continue around these polite remarks, it is estimated that the next topic should cover the French magical world.
Maca deliberately stopped talking a few words, so he simply threw the conversation to the old butler Edward.
"Oh...Thank you for your hospitality, I am honored." He said, naturally changing the subject, "Madam, don't care about me. Since Madam is still hospitality, please continue with Madam and Mr. Edward. I went to visit other places first~IndoMTL.com~ However, he wanted to put oil on the soles of his feet, but some people just refused to let it.
"Oh! Mr. McLean is too polite," the old butler smiled. "It's okay. Mrs. and I just talked about an interesting thing. If Mr. McLean is interested, we might as well listen to it. Listen."
Although they said it casually, they were invited after all, and that was obviously because he was worthy of him. If he refuses Maca smoothly, it would be uninteresting.
In that case, he had to smile and nod, waiting for Edward or Maxim to continue.
Luna on the side didn't care at all. She turned her head to the side and looked at the landscape oil painting on the wall.
"It's like this..."
The old butler paused, then began to tell a story about his master Nick Lemay.
In fact, most wizards who study alchemy like to toss cryptography. However, the cryptography of the magic world is very different from that of Muggles, and it is basically based on various special ancient magic texts.
And his master Nick Lemay is also proficient in the in-depth study of many ancient magic texts.
It's just that, nearly a hundred years ago, Nick Lemay discovered a very special ancient character from the ruins of an ancient ruin while traveling the world. It is not known whether it is magical.
It took him a lot of time to interpret part of this ancient character, but it didn't take long for him to completely throw this ancient character aside.
Recently, when the old butler Edward was sorting things, he turned to the stone slabs with ancient characters. But he found that these slates were very strange.
"...It can even be said to be'weird'!" The old butler said with a whole face.
