Chapter 834 They Are All Distant Relatives
( ) Seeing this situation, no one has tried to raise objections to the Harris family anymore. Those troublemakers who had deliberately made noise before also shut up. They have seen that opposition has no effect. In these pure-blood families, In the eyes of wizards, the Harris family has made up its mind to make the family's profound magical knowledge public. This is almost tantamount to a real declaration of war on them, telling themselves in disguise that they have made up their mind to stand opposite them, intending to take them Kill them all.
The means of petty quarrels were no longer applicable. These pure-blood family wizards communicated with each other tacitly and left the venue one after another.
The press conference continued with some more scenes and officially ended. Allen said goodbye to his father and planned to eat some snacks in Diagon Alley to cushion his stomach. He was stopped by a slightly shrill voice: "Mr. Allen Harris , please stay.”
Allen stopped and turned around to look around. He saw a well-dressed wizard with a sharp camera and dressed as a butler. He quickly came to him and saluted him: "Hello, Mr. Allen Harris, I am It is Alfred Crawford, the butler of the Burke family, who came here on the order of the head of the family, Herbert Burke..."
Allen nodded in response, and then made an invitation to the butler wizard: "Mr. Crawford, let's go sit down at the cake stall over there and talk."
Alfred Crawford followed Allen obediently, and Allen led the way calmly and without saying a word. He knew this Herbert Burke, and he was on the wall of the Black ancestral house. His name is seen in the family tree. He married Belvina, the daughter of Phineas Nigellus Black, the most unpopular headmaster in the history of Hogwarts and now the portrait of the most unpopular headmaster. And his mother-in-law, Ursula Flint, is also related by blood to Marcus Flint, who was cheering in the audience just now. This Herbert Burke should be worth a hundred if counted now. How old.
The family-run Borgin's Bock is the largest shop in Knockturn Alley. The owner of this store, Mr. Borgin, often deals with unusual ancient wizarding artifacts, and due to the sinister intentions of his cunning customers, he and the store owner himself Because of the greedy nature of money, this store once handled a lot of gray business, and even sold items with black magic or other dangerous items. 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 in opening this store is probably the same as one of the purposes of the Ravenclaw Temple, which is to collect pure-blooded broken people and pass them down in the family. magical mysteries.
Even many years ago, Tom Riddle himself worked under the then owner Caractacus Bock as a store clerk. He also had the opportunity to get close to many items with special properties and learned some of the things he knew about them. What he didn't learn at Hogwarts, and using his identity as a clerk, Tom Riddle also obtained some information from the old customer of this store, Hepzibah Smith, who claimed to be a descendant of Helga Hufflepuff. The pendant that belonged to Salazar Slytherin was bought by Caractacus Bock for a small amount of money after taking advantage of the ignorance and poverty of the mysterious man's mother Merope, and then sold it at a high price. Box and Helga Hufflepuff's golden cup.
After the two of them sat down and ordered their meals, 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 moderation in what the Harris family said at the press conference? Maybe we can go further. Communication and communication, 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, we are all distant relatives. My master really doesn't want to do anything. When it has developed to this point, everyone was just making small fuss before... If Mr. Alan Harris could be more considerate of your relatives who are of British blood..." Alfred Crawford said He said sincerely, "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 made a decision on this matter. If the Bock family really wants to have good relations with the Harris family, it might as well use another way. If the Bock family is also willing to donate knowledge, we can become friends. I think Whether it's our Harris, the Ravenclaw Temple, or the Ministry of Magic, they will be willing to bring rewards to such an enlightened family." Allen completely understood what the other party meant by what he said. The pure-blood wizard family uniting is indeed a good idea. A huge force, but Allen will not be threatened by this force. Judging from Harris's current size and development, if he stagnates, he will only become a stronger member of their circle. If It is not unacceptable to have no education reform, break the secrecy law, and Luna's canonization, but in the current situation, there are so many things to do, and Harris can only snatch the cake from the hands of these local rulers and make them truly themselves people to take control, so that the British wizarding world can truly be at their feet.
Alfred Crawford was a little surprised to see Allen so decisively rejecting the conditions offered by him to allow Harris to control the Ministry of Magic for a long time. He paused, and as a shrewd man, he realized that he was completely unable to sway the decision of the man in front of him. , so he no longer wasted his words and saluted Allen again, "I express my regrets on behalf of my master, Mr. Allen Harris..."
After Alfred Crawford finished speaking, UU Reading www.uukansｈhu.net turned around and went to the counter to pay the bill, bowed slightly to Allen again, and then left in the direction he came from without saying a word.
Allen looked at the straight back of this well-educated butler and shook his head slightly. He lost interest in eating here and directly picked up a piece of cake and fed it to Phoenix Anka who was standing on his shoulder. , Anka swallowed the cake in a few seconds, pecked Allen's ears affectionately to express his satisfaction, and then began to comb his feathers.
He stood up to greet the clerk and ordered a few extra brownies for him to pack together. He planned to take them back for the girls to try, but just after he left with the packing box handed over by him, two patrolling Aurors trotted past to see what they were doing. He seemed quite anxious.
Allen asked the Aurors with some curiosity: "Gentlemen, what happened?"
"Mr. Alan Harris, it was Tom, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron, who reported that a female Muggle was outside the Leaky Cauldron, calling out to the Auror for help. We have to go over and see what the situation is." The patrolling Auror said respectfully. Returning to Dao, although they are under the jurisdiction of Rufus Scrimgeour, the director of the Auror Office, and the patrolling Aurors privately have conflicts with Harris's jurisdiction over the armed Aurors, they still let it be questioned directly by a being like Alan. He was somewhat flattered.
