Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 549: Line of sight
It doesn't matter which room Vannie will rest in. The focus of the day was the period after lunch.
Booth Barton’s banquet is delicate and wonderful, with an endless variety of dishes, and each dish is fragrant and incomparable. These delicious delicacies with all colors, fragrances, and flavors are really a rare treat to be placed in this luxurious and magnificent hall.
It's a pity that most of the guests' attention is not focused on the tasting.
Maca and Fannie are sitting at a corner of a long table together, listening to some conversations around them, while casually delivering a fork into their mouths. Even though he seems to be quite reserved on the surface, he stands up and calmly, but in fact he doesn't eat less.
In fact, some people are paying attention to him, but in order not to look too obvious, most of the wizards who secretly glance at him are on the verge of catching them, and will not let their eyes stay on him for too long. In the end, it was only two people who really found him chewing.
A female steward who naturally sits next to him and eats silently, Vannie will follow him on this trip, but Mr. Blois didn't tell her too much what she needed to do. Her mission this time is very simple. In most cases, just sticking with Maca is enough.
She is a signboard of the Blois family, erected there for other forces present to take a look, then even if most of her mission is completed.
As for the remaining half? Of course, he is always paying attention to Maca's words and deeds. If there is a need for her to speak and do something, she has to respond in a timely manner and cooperate with Maca to do everything as perfectly as possible.
So, she must watch Maca all the time, even during the meal.
Yeah, yes! In addition to Fannie the housekeeper, another person was also staring at Maca. However, that line of sight is so obvious that many people have discovered it one after another.
"Mr. McLean--"
Fannie realized that Maca was always just stuffing food into her mouth, seemingly unaware of that gaze. She hesitated for a moment, and finally she called Maca.
The shady bird in her sight was quite straightforward, making it difficult for her to turn a blind eye.
But Maca waved his hand casually, interrupting what Vannie was about to say. Of course he had discovered it a long time ago. He didn't have any impression of the owner of that line of sight, but he still had a vague impression of the other person sitting next to him.
If he remembers correctly, the young wizard should have been named Ty Fowler, who had fought him in a rather dishonest glove-throwing duel.
Looking at the relationship between the two, most of them are a family, maybe a father and son. It's just that he can't be sure if it's his own.
Why do you say that? Because the middle-aged wizard is so fat, just one person almost occupies the seat of two people, so this long table is flat and one less seat.
"Don't care about that person, you can eat safely." Maca whispered to Fannie.
Perhaps because the Master Tefler had lost face in Boothbarton, and this time he wanted to find a way to retaliate. But no matter what the big and the little guys were thinking about, Maca didn't intend to pay attention to it.
In other words, at least there is no need to care about it right now. After a while, the lunch time comes to an end. The first excitement of this trip is definitely about to start, and there will surely be a lot of waves here.
At the moment before the storm, the most important thing is to be unobtrusive, because it can be avoided as much as possible.
At present, the intentions of the major forces are actually not clear. When the purpose is not clear enough, whoever is exposed to the public first will be more likely to be the first target.
It can be said that before the situation becomes clear, all forces are very sensitive.
Seeing that Maca didn't care about the man's gaze, Vannie had to follow his advice, regain her attention, and return to the meal.
In fact, she is actually a little dissatisfied.
From the perspective of the Blois family's behavioral philosophy, if someone dared to be so rude to himself, it would be equivalent to looking down on the family behind her. The Patriarch has already said that although the Blois family needs to keep a low profile, it does not mean that they have to swallow their anger. In terms of strength, the Blois family is worthy of anyone.
At the beginning, Willie's father went directly to Voldemort's door across the country, and even slapped Voldemort firmly. It didn't look like he was seeking help. It can be seen from this point that the current style of the Blois family is obviously from the hands of Mr. Blois.
Although Vannie felt a little uncomfortable, it was Maca who was in charge now, so she just let it go.
After that, when Maca's cheeks were slightly puffed up, the hearty lunch was finally coming to an end.
After the last wizard put down the fork in his hand, Mrs. Maxim, as the headmaster of Boothbarton, stood up first.
"Distinguished guests, I hope you have fully enjoyed the lunch carefully prepared by our school." She used a sound reinforcement spell, and then said loudly, "I won't say those pretentious words, first of all, Please allow me to introduce this to everyone--"
As Mrs. Maxim said, she reached out and gestured to a wizard in the seat beside her.
"I believe you have already guessed it. This is the old butler of the LeMay family-Mr. Edward Le May." She said, "As you all know, the contemporary alchemist Mr. Nick Le May did not like to be with People do too much contact, he prefers to be immersed in his magic research all day. And the one who organizes his daily schedule and follows him around is the hard-working old butler, Edward LeMay."
When Mrs. Maxim mentioned herself, the old Edward who Maca had met in the past also stood up and gave a small salute to all the wizards present.
Otherwise, many wizards are more repulsive of giant hybrids! The old Edward was supposed to be a tall man, but under the background of Mrs. Maxim, he was a child.
It's no wonder that Mrs. Maxim has always kept secrets about her ancestry, and always just said that she has a "big frame".
For the old butler Edward, many wizards in the room seemed rather indifferent and indifferent. It's not that this old Edward is not important, on the contrary, he is obviously in a very important position in this incident.
The reason why the major forces ignored him is actually because they had tried to reach each other before today. It is natural to think about it. Since he is the only witness to the disclosure of the inheritance, it is equivalent to the temporary owner of all the inheritance, and all the forces that want to get a share of it will choose him as the first breakthrough.
If he can be captured directly, is it necessary to come here and wait for the opportunity with such a large group of people?
However, this old Edward is not ordinary smart, he has already lived in Boothbarton. And no matter in that country, the magic school is always a good shelter. After all, except for some inherited families with full heritage, that child does not need to learn?
For the leading wizarding academies like Boothbarton and Hogwarts in the world of magic, ordinary forces really dare not easily provoke them.
Don't look at Voldemort's tossing around in the British magical world. Just think about it and you can understand how many dark kings have appeared in history?
In this large silent scene in the auditorium, old Edward didn't care at all. After giving a salute, he was deemed to have completed the mission of appearance, and soon sat down again.
In order to somewhat ease the atmosphere, Mrs. Maxim immediately turned everyone's attention to the seat on the other side of her.
"...this one, I must know everyone," she said with a smile~IndoMTL.com~The current president of our International Federation of Wizards, Mr. Babajid Akinbad. "
Following Mrs. Maxim's introduction, Maca also set his sights on the skinny old wizard with dark skin. Of course, he had met this one once, and his Merlin Medal was awarded by the old wizard.
After Dumbledore's death, he was elected as the new president of the International Wizarding Federation.
Maca still remembers that his relationship with Dumbledore has always been very good, and I don’t know if Dumbledore’s contribution is still in the process of succession.
The reaction of the various forces this time is much greater than before. After all, I am also the president of the International Wizarding Federation. Not to mention whether his election is related to certain families, at least any family needs to have a good relationship with him.
Old Mr. Akinbad is actually not too young anymore, plus his lean bones, it looks like a corpse in an exquisite wizard's robe. Being able to become the president of the Federation must be highly respected in itself, and perhaps the magical power is also quite amazing.
To be honest, Maca actually doubts whether this old wizard of African origin has also practiced some weird dark magic, so he has become this crumpled and stubborn ghost. Looks like.
But different from the appearance on the surface, this Mr. Akinbad is very talkative, and he is also polite and courteous when speaking, but he is quite like everyone. Rather than being a person in power, he is actually more like an old scholar specializing in magic research.
After he gave a benevolent speech, the scene fell silent again. Everyone was observing Mrs. Maxim's expression and gaze to see if there were any characters she needed to introduce separately.
If there is any, the first subtle point of today's situation may appear, and everyone is waiting.
