Chapter 235 Madame Maxime's Plan
The moment the door to the laboratory was opened, a particularly large female figure appeared. However, despite her tall and burly figure, this lady had a very pretty olive face and a pair of large, dark, watery eyes...
Yang Tian's heart moved. Isn't this Madame Maxime, the principal of Beauxbatons Academy of Magic in the original book?
The next scene was even more magical: the head of a school should have her own pride and reserve. However, she did not! As soon as Madame Maxime entered the room, she bent her huge body and respectfully called to Perenal Flamel: "Hello, teacher."
I'm dizzy? Yang Tian was stunned. Oh my god, this famous principal is actually the disciple of the master's wife? But at this time he couldn't ask directly, so he could only watch the situation from the side.
Seeing that it was her favorite student, Perenelle seemed very happy. She patted Madame Maxime's shoulder as she bowed and said, "Hey, it's you, Olim. Why did you suddenly remember to come and see me? I remember that we haven't seen each other for nearly five years, right?"
Madam Maxime felt a little aggrieved when she heard this. Tears as big as corn kernels instantly flowed down her cheeks. "Teacher, since you retired, you have been particularly annoyed by visits from students like us. If it wasn't for the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic's anniversary celebration last time, I think the interval between our meetings would definitely be more than five years."
Perenelle blushed slightly at this soft rejection. My health was so bad before, how could I have the mood to deal with others? Fortunately, there was the elixir sent by Yang Tian, otherwise, maybe the last meeting would have been a farewell forever? Perenelle couldn't help but sigh...
Seeing that the teacher had no intention of blaming her, Madame Maxime hurried to Nicolas Flamel and said respectfully, "Hello, Nicolas Flamel. I am really sorry for today. I know your rules and I hate being disturbed. But I also know that once you start your experiment, you have no concept of time at all. And I have come from a long way this time, and my schedule is very tight. I am really afraid of not being able to see you and the teacher, so I have to do this."
Seeing that it was a student that his wife had not seen for many years, Nicolas Flamel's anger at being interrupted in the discussion had mostly subsided; and seeing that Madame Maxime was as polite as ever and the reason she gave was indeed reasonable, it was even harder to get angry. So, he also exchanged a few polite words.
At this time, Perenelle introduced: "Come, Olim, let me introduce you. This is my husband's student, Yang Tian. I believe you must have heard of his name." Then he said to Yang Tian: "This is Madame Maxime, the principal of Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, and also my student."
The other party was the head of a school, so Yang Tian naturally could not be impolite, and he hurried forward to greet him; Madame Maxime naturally knew Yang Tian's situation, so she also responded enthusiastically; for a moment, the laboratory was filled with joy.
After chatting for a while, Madame Maxime finally said solemnly: "Teacher Nicolas Flamel, I came here this time mainly because of the entrustment of the French Ministry of Magic and all the teachers and students of Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. I hope that you and my teacher can return to Beauxbatons to take charge. You two are too important to the academy. If you and your teacher had not insisted on retiring and enjoying life, Beauxbatons would never let you leave. Even if you retire, you two are still honorary professors of Beauxbatons now."
"Little Olim, I'm not as easy to talk to as your teacher." Nicolas Flamel said with a half-smile, "Perenelle and I have indeed retired. We are now in Hogwarts to enjoy life and teach my student. I am not really interested in other things. So, forget about things like coming back or taking charge. If we have that time, your teacher and I might as well go on vacation together."
Hearing this, Perenelle couldn't help but have a look of longing in her eyes. It must be said that she had a very happy time during this period, spending the whole day with her husband immersed in alchemical experiments and teaching talented students. If she could really take her favorite trip in her spare time, it would be perfect.
Seeing the reactions of the two, Madam Maxime knew that her goal today might be difficult to achieve. But she rolled her eyes and asked quickly, "Since you said so, how dare I force you? But since the teacher and you are here to teach students, I wonder if Beauxbatons can also send a few students to audit? If there are really good seedlings, wouldn't you have another proud disciple?"
"Come on! Haven't you sent enough students for the test every year? They don't meet the standards at all." Nicolas Flamel was already a little impatient, but after a pause, he sighed and explained: "It's not that I don't want to accept them. You have to understand, Olim, alchemy is the subject that requires the most talent. If they can't meet the requirements but force themselves to learn, they will be trapped in the vast alchemy and eventually lose themselves, becoming mediocre and accomplishing nothing. Those are geniuses in your eyes, and they have fallen like this. Don't you feel sad?"
"What about this child?" Madame Maxime was a little unconvinced. As the headmaster of Beauxbatons, she knew about Yang Tian's miraculous past in detail. But even so, she still found it hard to believe that there was really someone who could meet Nicolas Flamel's standards for taking in an apprentice.
"Olim, this child is more outstanding than you can imagine. Let me put it this way, he has an extremely high talent in alchemy, and his achievements in the future will definitely far exceed mine." Nicolas Flamel did not hesitate to praise him.
How could this be possible? Madame Maxime was even more unconvinced, but she did not dare to say it out loud.
But Maxime's reaction was finally seen by Perenelle, and she said solemnly: "Olympe, don't doubt what my husband said. As my former student, and especially as the principal of Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, you should have a sharper eye. I can only say that Nico's words are not exaggerated at all. You can never imagine how outstanding this child is." She deliberately emphasized her tone, and blinked from time to time while speaking, as if hinting at something.
The teacher's abnormality immediately caught Madam Maxime's attention. After a little thought, she figured out the key points. Could it be that the teacher wanted me to bring Yang Tian back to Beauxbatons? At this thought, her heart couldn't help but become active. Where did all the changes in Hogwarts come from in such a short period of time? Wasn't it caused by Yang Tian? If Yang Tian could really be brought back, wouldn't everything be solved?
Of course, now is not a suitable time. After all, this is Hogwarts. If she poaches someone else's people on their territory, if the Hogwarts school knew about it, it would not only damage the reputation of Beauxbatons, but she herself would also most likely be blacklisted.
Fortunately, the semester will be over soon, and I know the address of the Fry family. When the time comes, I will pay them a visit and no one will be able to say anything. The biggest problem now is what reasons and conditions to use to convince them...
After understanding everything, Madam Maxime behaved more gently. After everyone had a pleasant chat for an afternoon, she reluctantly left Hogwarts...
