Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 565: Stupid or smart
The genius remembers this site address in one second: (Top Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! As far as the relationship is concerned, Mrs. Maxim is definitely among all the wizards present, except for the old butler Edward and the deceased Mr. Nico Lemay’s closest contact. This alone seems to inevitably arouse everyone's suspicion, for fear that Mrs. Maxim is fair and unselfish on the surface, but behind her back, she covets the inheritance.
But in this magical world, probably no one knows who Mrs. Maxim is. Since she became the headmaster of Boothbarton, she has always prioritized the school and students no matter what, coupled with her dignity and fairness in her daily life, there are many wizards who admire the headmistress in her heart.
What's more, in order to avoid suspicion this time, Mrs. Maxim has already stated her position on this public event of the estate. Because of this, she even vacated the venue right for the alchemy event directly for everyone.
To be honest, if she hadn't taken the initiative to retreat, based on the fact that this is Mr. Nicole Lemay's alma mater, the venue for this competition would be Busbarton.
Like this kind of world-class event, many small and medium-sized forces can't even think about it.
However, I am afraid that the appearance that Mrs. Maxim has always shown is an illusion. When this huge benefit is before her eyes, it may be the time for her to show her true face. Just think about it and understand, in this world, are such long-planned changes still rare?
In the corridor, as the rumors directed at Mrs. Maxim gradually spread, some people's eyes began to look different.
From here, it can be seen that many strengths are clearly divided into two factions.
More than half of the wizards chose to calmly be a bystander. This is because they do not plan to wade into this pool of muddy water deliberately disturbed by people too early; while the rest of the wizards choose In order to take advantage of the trend, trying to make the water more muddy, so that his own forces can find considerable benefits in the chaos.
Maca glanced at the crowd very promptly, and then immediately came to a conclusion.
Among the wizards present, the forces who choose to watch are either insufficient or more inclined to hold alchemy events; and the ones who choose to continue to increase the chaos are the groups who want to make trouble in the future.
There are only a handful of guys who haven't figured out the situation. They all looked around suspiciously, and glanced at Mrs. Maxim from time to time, with different expressions for a while.
With a little analysis, you can know in advance which forces need his attention. Why not do such good things?
When Maca quickly retracted his gaze and looked at Mrs. Maxim who was beside him, the other party also happened to glance at him. It means that Maca is somewhat clear.
It doesn't matter if she is suspected, because she didn't intend to get too involved in this matter. After deciding on the ownership of the competition venue, she can sweep out all these forces in Boothbarton.
The key point is that some people don't want this alchemy contest to be held securely. If possible, the other party will try to delay it or even destroy it altogether.
After all, a game will generate too many accidents. Which side will benefit in the end? Before the result of the game, no one dares to say that they will have the last laugh.
"Perhaps some people don’t want to make the inheritance public," Mrs. Maxim said suddenly, listening to her calmly, "but I still think that since Mr. Le May intends to entrust the inheritance to the world, then All countries in the magic world should be eligible to participate. Everyone doubts me. I just hope that everyone can understand that this precious legacy belongs to everyone."
The meaning of her words is very clear, and any wizard who is savvy enough can understand.
Yes, if it is used by some interested people, maybe most of the forces can get the result of the distribution ratio, and they will no longer exist.
These words of her are obviously addressed to those forces that are not strong enough to compete with others. If more than half of the small and medium forces can be united and twisted into a rope, even a few large forces will have to be weighed.
In short, what she wants to convey is just one sentence: If you don't want to get any benefits in the end, then support the holding of the alchemy contest!
Hearing Mrs. Maxim's quick response, Maca couldn't help nodding secretly—this headmistress hadn't been for so many years.
Not long after everyone was watching, the French Ministry of Magic finally sent someone over.
Unlike the British magic world, Boothbatten School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has a very good relationship with the French Ministry of Magic, and they often support each other when dealing with various matters. Regarding this murder case, although the current situation is still a bit sensitive, because there is no secret between the two that cannot be said, the operation was exceptionally smooth.
Because this incident is of great importance, the Minister of the French Ministry of Magic came in person.
Maca saw that it was a tall, thin, middle-aged wizard. His dress is quite simple, just exquisite but not luxurious. He seems to be a down-to-earth character.
Along with him, there is also a French Auror team who observes its behavior and strictly follows the rules, but it matches the style of the minister.
I saw a group of people from the Ministry of Magic rushing all the way, and after a few greetings with Mrs. Maxim, they immediately started to work. On-site exploration, inquiries and evidence collection, is well organized, and the work efficiency is extremely high.
Compared with them, the British Ministry of Magic, which has been producing moths in recent years, is quite dwarfed.
About ten minutes have passed. Except for the wizard who found the corpse in the first place, who was left behind, everyone else was persuaded by the minister to disperse. Of course Maca was among the people who left. It happened to be the time for breakfast, and he took Vannie all the way to Boothbarton's auditorium.
A lot of people were whispering on the road, talking about the gossip that suddenly appeared just now.
Although Mrs. Maxim handled it properly just now, the situation got worse without being on the spot. But Maca knew that the guy who stirred the muddy water had achieved what he wanted, and some kind of bad influence would inevitably spread gradually in the next few days.
It’s really hard to say at this moment whether the Alchemy Contest is going to be a good thing or not.
……
Let’s not mention that the haze on Maca’s side gradually deepened. At this time, Harry was worried about dating Ginny.
He didn't expect that the old Slughorn seemed to be very talkative, but when he asked roundly about whether he could reduce the burden of homework on Valentine's Day, the other party decisively expressed regret.
Slughorn is a professor, he had been working for a long time before quitting this job in the past. For what a professor must insist on, although he is often a little confused, he still adheres to the correct principles.
This bald old man likes promising little wizards, and has a hobby of collecting outstanding students. He has been walking on the path of no return of collecting addiction. To be honest, as a professor, he is very reliable.
Harry's bad idea didn't succeed, and he gradually calmed down as he walked in the corridor at the moment.
In fact, since he had never noticed the relationship between Ginny's thoughts in the past, now when he was touched by the understanding Ginny gave, he wanted to compensate the other party very much. And dating in Hogsmeade was the most suitable compensation method he could think of right now.
Unfortunately, a fifth-grade student's academic work is still quite heavy, and the exam is near. He may not be able to leave behind a lot of homework to go on a date. Maybe he didn't care, but Ginny would most likely disagree with what he did. In that case, his purpose of compensating the other party would be greatly reduced.
Up to now, he has only one choice-to rush homework the night before Valentine's Day!
Harry made up his mind with a bitter face~IndoMTL.com~ and quickly walked into the auditorium. In the curious eyes of Ron and Hermione, he looked sad at the long Gryffindor table. Seated.
"Harry, what the **** did you do?"
As soon as he sat down, Ron next to him asked quietly. In the common room before, Harry's rush to and fro caused him tons of curiosity.
"...I went to see Professor Slughorn." Harry didn't want to say it, but when he found out that Ginny was also sneaking here, he couldn't help it. Spoke out.
"Slughorn?" Ron said with a puzzled face, "Don't you hate that bald man? Why did you take the initiative to send it to the door this time?"
Hermione, who was sitting opposite, was obviously also very strange. Ron asked on this side, and she pricked her ears over there. Although she held a copy of the "Daily Prophet" for daily morning reading, her mind was not in the article above.
"I'm going..." Harry looked a little annoyed. "I'm going to see if he can let him assign some less homework for me. You know, the homework in Potions class is always big!"
"What?"
Before Ron had time to express his surprise, Hermione across the table suddenly put the newspaper down and looked at Harry with a look of Frober caterpillar.
"Harry, did you lose your mind?" She looked incredulously, "What are you thinking?"
"No, I didn't lose—" Harry waved his hand quickly, "I mean, it's just Valentine's Day homework. I'm going to Hogsmeade with Ginny... so much homework is impossible. I stayed with her all day, didn't he?"
"Oh," Hermione stunned suddenly, then said in amazement, "When did you become smart?" For mobile phone users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
