Chapter 834: They Are All Distant Relatives
Seeing this situation, no one tried to raise objections to the Harris family anymore, and those troublemakers who deliberately made noise before also shut their mouths. They had already seen that objections were useless. In their eyes, the Harris family has made up their minds to make their family's profound magical knowledge public, which is almost tantamount to declaring war on them, telling themselves in disguise that they have made up their minds to stand opposite them, and intend to drive them out.
The means of making small troubles is no longer applicable, and these pure-blood family wizards communicated with each other tacitly, and left the venue one after another.
The press conference continued and had some conversations before it officially ended. Allen bid farewell to his father and planned to eat some snacks in Diagon Alley to fill his stomach, but he was stopped by a shrill voice: "Mr. Alan Harris , please stay."
Allen stopped in his tracks and turned around to look, only to see a well-dressed wizard dressed as a butler who walked quickly to him and saluted him: "Hello, Mr. Alan Harris, I It is Alfred Crawford, Steward of the Burke House, at the behest of Herbert Burke..."
Allen nodded as a response, and then invited the butler wizard: "Mr. Crawford, let's go to the cake stand over there and sit down and talk."
Alfred Crawford followed Alan obediently, and Alan led the way without saying a word. He knew this Herbert Burke, and he was on the wall of Black's ancestral house. His name has been seen in the family tree. He married the most unpopular headmaster in the history of Hogwarts, who is now the daughter of Phineas Nigellus Black, the most unpopular headmaster. Belvina, And his mother-in-law, Ursula Flint, is also related to the Marcus Flint who was shouting happily off the court just now. This Herbert Burke should also have a hundred How old.
And his family-run Borgin Bock is the largest shop in Knockturn Alley. The owner of the shop, Mr. Borgin, often deals with unusual ancient wizarding artifacts, and because of the sinister intentions of his cunning customers, he and the owner himself The greedy nature of money, so this store has handled a lot of gray business, and even sold those with black magic or other dangerous items, but it is not easy to open such a store in the name of illegal trading in Knockturn Alley. Being investigated by the Aurors is enough to explain the background behind the family, and the purpose of the Bock family to open this store is likely to be the same as one of the purposes of the Ravenclaw Temple, and it is also to collect those pure-bloods that have been handed down from the settled family. of magical mysteries.
Even many years ago, Tom Riddle himself worked as a clerk under the owner of the time, Caractacus Bork, and thus had the opportunity to get close to many items with specific functions, and learned some of his What Hogwarts didn't learn, and by virtue of his status as a clerk, Tom Riddle also learned from the old customer of this store-the Hepzibah Smith who claimed to be a descendant of Helga Hufflepuff. , got the one that belonged to Salazar Slytherin himself, which was bought by Calactacus Burke after taking advantage of the ignorance and poverty of the mysterious man's mother, Merope, and then sold it at a high price. Locket and Helga Hufflepuff's Gold Cup.
After the two sat down and ordered the meal, that Alfred Crawford couldn't wait to speak.
"Mr. Harris, there are no reporters or outsiders around us now. What my master wants to know is, is there really no room for relaxation at all about what the Harris family said at the press conference? Maybe we can go further Of course, my master has no intention of standing on the opposite side of the Harris family...Mr. Harris’s mother, Morgan Le Fay, is a member of the Rozier family, so strictly speaking, everyone is a distant relative. My master is really unwilling to do this. At this point, everyone was just playing tricks before... If Mr. Alan Harris can think more about your relatives who belong to the British blood..." Alfred Crawford said Confidentially,
"My master, Mr. Herbert Burke, expressed his willingness to unite with other pure-blood families to support the bill to amend the term of office of the Minister of Magic..."
"Our Harris family has already made a decision on this matter. If the Burke family really wants to befriend the Harris family, we might as well use another method. If the Burke family is also willing to donate knowledge, we can become friends. I think Whether it is our Harris, the Ravenclaw Temple, or the Ministry of Magic, they will all be willing to bring rewards to such an enlightened family." Allen fully understood what the other party meant by what he said, and the unity of the pure-blood wizard family is indeed A huge force, but Allen will not be threatened by this force. Judging from Harris' current size and development, if he stagnates, he will at most just make himself a relatively strong member of their circle. It is not unacceptable not to have education reform and breaking the secrecy law and Luna's deification, but in the current situation, there are so many things to do, Harris can only snatch the cake in the hands of these local rulers, and let them truly people to take control, so that the British wizarding world can truly obey under their feet.
Alfred Crawford was a little surprised to see Allen so resolutely rejecting his offer to allow Harris to take control of the Ministry of Magic for a long time. He paused, shrewd and realized that he could not shake the decision of the person in front of him at all. , So he stopped wasting his tongue and saluted Allen again, "I express my regret for my master, Mr. Allen Harris..."
After Alfred Crawford finished speaking, he turned around and went to the counter to pay the bill, then bowed slightly to Allen again, and then left without saying a word.
Allen looked at the well-educated butler's straight back and shook his head lightly. He lost interest in eating here, and he directly picked up a piece of cake and fed it to Phoenix Anka who was standing on his shoulder. , Anka swallowed the cake in two or three bites, pecked Alan's ears affectionately to express his satisfaction, and then began to comb his feathers.
He got up to greet the clerk, and ordered a few more brownies for him to pack together, intending to take them home for the girls to taste, but after leaving with the packing box handed over by the other party, two patrolling Aurors trotted past, looking at the It seems to be quite anxious.
Allen asked the Aurors curiously: "Gentlemen, what happened?"
"Mr. Alan Harris, Tom, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron, reported a female Muggle outside the Leaky Cauldron calling out to Aurors for help. We have to go over and see what's going on." The patrolling Auror respectfully Going back to Dao, although they are under the jurisdiction of Rufus Scrimgeour, the director of the Auror office, and there are conflicts between the patrolling Aurors and the armed Aurors under the jurisdiction of Harris, but being directly questioned by an existence like Allen still makes people feel uncomfortable. He was a little flattered.
