Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 1786: The breaking point under the stalemate

"Are those from the Brandt family?"

Hermione was very concerned about the breath that the other party had just released, but what she cared more about was the relationship between the minister and the other party in front of her.

Obviously, the warning contained in that breath meant that the target was not the four "outsiders" of them, but Erich who sat opposite. What was even more surprising was that Erich had apparently noticed this warning at the first time, but he just silently accepted it.

"Madam, is Boothbarton okay? Should it be the same? I still remember the Quidditch match between us and Durmstrang, the championship trophy we won, and I still have it Put it in my office and watch it every day! It may be the most proud of the honors I have received in my life..."

Erich skipped the topic of family and father just now without a trace, and began to talk to Mrs. Maxim. While Maxim was chatting with him, he couldn't help but look at De Quinn beside him, but he couldn't find the time to bring the content of the conversation back to the topic.

Obviously, Erich didn't want to talk about De Quinn-not from the beginning!

It's just that, although Erich doesn't want to mention that Maxim is inconvenient to speak so bluntly because of his identity, there are always people who can put aside their scruples and talk about it. Either it was Hermione, or it was DeQueen herself.

While Hermione was thinking about the identity of the person in the corner, she did not forget the reason they came here today. Seeing that Ms. De Quinn was still sitting there with a gloomy daze, she thought for a while and couldn't help but proactively said to Erich:

"Mr. Brandt, it may be a little presumptuous, but may I ask you a question?"

"Oh, of course!"

Erich heard Hermione talking to herself, which temporarily interrupted those memories of her school days, and nodded at her:

"You are welcome, just ask what you want! We can talk about everything except some matters related to the secrets of the Ministry of Magic."

"Thank you," Hermione nodded slightly, "this shouldn't be considered a secret...because I just want to ask if there are any abnormal incidents in the German magic world. You know, France, Norway, Germany... …It’s not far from the United Kingdom, and it may be Helbo’s next goal. So even if it’s just a small matter, we should pay attention to it as soon as possible to avoid future troubles."

"Well, yes, I would like to express my gratitude to Miss Granger for the wizarding people of our country," Erich said with a smile, "It's just... as far as I know, at least for the time being, I haven't found anything worthy of attention. The incident. During this time, I am also drawing everyone’s attention. If there is a problem, I will report it to me in time."

As for why Hermione suddenly asked about this, not only Erich, but even Mrs. Maxim was puzzled—is she really worried about the situation in Germany?

Only the old butler. Just now I saw Hermione glance at DeQueen before speaking. He knew that Hermione's next sentence was probably what she really wanted to say.

Sure enough, she heard Hermione continue:

"As expected of Mr. Brandt, he must be more considerate than I am. I seem to be a little careless... But, after all, we have just been to Belgium before, and when I think of the Helbogge I might choose to start from there and recommend it to the European interior, I can’t help but want to worry-there can’t be a second Britain in this world!"

While she was talking, she suddenly changed her words:

"Ah! Speaking of Belgium, we don’t seem to have introduced you yet, this one is--"

Yes, Hermione wanted to force the conversation back to Ms. De Quinn. Erich ignored DeQueen just now, can't you ignore Hermione again this time, right?

But what Hermione didn't expect was that Erich really couldn't pretend that he didn't hear it again this time, but he looked at his eyes, and there was a hint of something that she couldn't understand.

What kind of sight is that?

Intimidation? No, there is no bitterness and sharpness in the opponent's eyes, only a little...a little helplessness and pleading?

Because that gaze was only fleeting, Hermione could not determine what the deep meaning was in it. But because of this sight, Hermione subconsciously gave up the idea of ​​"introducing" De Quinn for the other party.

"...Well, I mean," Hermione paused for a moment, and unconsciously caught a glimpse of the lady sitting next to Erich from the corner of her eyes. "Yes, this lady—Mr. Brandt , You don’t seem to have introduced us yet!"

"Ah!" Erich reacted immediately and nodded hurriedly, "This is the liaison officer of our International Wizarding Cooperation Department, Miss Ava Fogel-she has excellent business skills and is our department. A trustworthy member of the company."

Because Erich had just wanted to see the timing and help to get rid of the wooing. Seeing that the current conversation was mostly small talk by his own minister, Fogel never opened his mouth.

Seeing Erich introduce herself to the other side, she nodded politely:

"Hello, Miss Granger... Secretary Brandt, this is really too much praise. I'm just an ordinary liaison officer. My job is too small compared to you, and it's not worth mentioning."

If Fogel can be a liaison officer, he is naturally a quick-thinking and observant person. Although there are many things that she is not very clear about, it is obvious that it is not the time to speak by herself at this moment, and she can feel this at any rate.

So, after being polite, she immediately closed her mouth again~IndoMTL.com~ became her transparent person again.

To be honest, from the moment Erich appeared in the meeting room to meet Hermione and others, the atmosphere of today's conversation has always been subtle. Not only did Erich talk about him, but Mrs. Maxim was also unable to speak out because of the need to represent Boothbatten. Even Hermione was more puzzled and worried because of the strange look in the other's eyes.

As for the old butler... he seems to be determined to be a calm bystander.

Obviously, in order to help Ms. De Quinn and fulfill Ms. Maxim's original intention, there is still a flashpoint here to break through the gap between the two sides that is too thin.

It's a pity that the thinner the "barrier", the more hazy it makes people afraid to pierce easily.

Erich is obviously restrained, and this is the scruples in Hermione's heart-she is worried that if she does too much, she will harm Erich and Ms. DeQueen.

But who knows, this "burst point" was suddenly detonated by De Quinn himself when everyone was in a stalemate!
