Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 566: Lupin’s plan
A genius remembers this site address in one second: (Top Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! "Remus, why did you tell Malfoy the whereabouts of that woman? Have you given the **** back then? Forgot?"
In Black’s old house, Sirius yelled at Lupin angrily. He waved his arms and vented his dissatisfaction.
Lupin certainly did not forget that when he was enrolled in Hogwarts with Sirius and Harry’s father James, Lucius, who was several years older than them, was already a six-year-old. The big and small guys of the grade. Naturally, that guy was studying at Slytherin College, and he was annoying when he was a student.
At that time, Snape was on the list of Lucius, and in the first two years, he was backed by a senior who was the prefect to provoke them, and provoke them, the Gryffindor trio. The group always played Snape afterwards. Not to mention the latter thing, at least in the first and second grades, Snape was pretty good at Hogwarts.
As for Lucius’s run on Gryffindor College, Lupin and Sirius clearly remember it.
"Sirius, you sit down first-sit down!"
Lupin knew that Sirius was a violent temper, and because he had been squatting in Azkaban for so many years, his temper had grown stronger. So when he asked loudly, Lupin didn't seem to care.
"Narcissa is your cousin after all, isn't it?" After forcibly pushing Sirius onto the chair, he chuckled, "Although you don't like her--yes, I don't like it either. , Her eyes looked like everyone was watching a fly, and she always smiled at Malfoy. But what she said was your cousin. This relationship is destined for you in this life, and you can’t break it if you want to. ."
"Who said it couldn't be broken?" Sirius frowned, "Look at the wall of genealogy, can you find my face? Hey! My good mother has burned it out— —"
"It's okay, what you said makes the most sense, okay?" Lupin waved his hand helplessly, not mentioning how Sirius' expression was tangled when he heard Narcissa's news, just He said casually, "Actually, I didn't do it entirely because of you, so don't take it for granted!"
"Then who else can you do it for?" Sirius said grumpily, "Apart from me, is there anyone here who is related to that woman?"
"No one will do it." Lu Ping spread his arms and said lightly, "I just think that this is good for us in the Order of the Phoenix, understand?"
When Sirius heard this, he looked at Lupin suspiciously.
He knows that Lupin has never been the kind of person who is aimless, and since Lupin did this, there must be a reason. If it wasn't for him Sirius Black, what was it for?
"What do you mean?"
When Lupin pretended to be plain, Sirius became a little more serious. This pair of lifelong partners knows each other's personalities, and if Lupin acts deliberately to be relaxed and natural, then what he will say next will certainly not be easy.
Sure enough, Lupin's face suddenly changed after shrugging.
"Voldemort failed again this time, and he died at Hogwarts on the spot. It was a happy ending." He said, "But for those pure-blood families, this may not be a good direction— —I think about this, you should understand it better."
"Hmph, of course," Sirius sneered contemptuously. "Those pretentious guys always feel that they are higher than half-blood and Muggle-born wizards, and they are not thinking about recovery for a moment. The'family glory' of the past."
As he spoke, he put quotation marks on the word "family glory" to show his disdain. Lupin agreed with him very much, and then nodded.
"So, as pure-bloods, they will not give up their secret activities because of Voldemort's disappearance." He continued to explain, "As far as I judge, when the Death Eaters escaped from prison, Those pure-blood families have already begun to move in secret."
"Is it possible?" Sirius frowned. "I hate those guys, but we must at least admit that the family that can hold back when Voldemort rises, at least has some brains. Now is the time when Hogwarts is gaining momentum. Will they choose this kind of opportunity to take action?"
"Why is it impossible?" Lu Ping asked back, then shook his head, "As you said, Hogwarts is gaining momentum now, but because of this, they have to take advantage of it. If you don’t have a firm foothold, find a way to lay the foundation first. Those guys are smart! They know that once McLean and Ms. McGonagall have completely stabilized Hogwarts’ reputation, the pure-blood family probably has no future. Up."
Lupin's words are very reasonable, at least Sirius has already tasted the taste.
Lupin and Sirius knew about Maca's trip to Boothbarton this time. And they also understand that the reason why Maca participated in Nicole Lemay’s legacy was to give Hogwarts a chance to stand on top of the mountain. If he really took that world-level alchemy contest to Hogwarts to hold, then Hogwarts' feet can be solid in the future.
At that time, what Hogwarts needs to do next is of course to recruit students vigorously.
It is conceivable that whether they are of Muggle origin or mixed blood, they will all be the objects of Hogwarts. The so-called quantitative changes cause qualitative changes. As the generations of students overlap, Hogwarts will definitely cultivate more outstanding wizards, making the school more and more profound.
Therefore, the pure-blooded families will naturally be the most affected.
"Huh, it seems they are scared." Sirius grinned.
"I'm not afraid now," Lupin said, "The foundations of those families are not thin. In addition to fame, don't forget that they also control many industries in the magical world. Those are their confidence. Source of ."
Whether it is the Muggle world or the magic world, the economy is often the foundation of the major forces. Compared with those family businesses, Hogwarts is just a school no matter how dazzling it is, and it's still a non-profit one.
Of course, if it weren't for a school that didn't charge any tuition, or Maca might not have been able to get in back then!
You must know that Hogwarts is regarded as the top first-class magic school in the world of magic, and there is only one in the UK, and the entire European magic school can be counted with two hands. Compared with the status of Oxford and Cambridge in the Muggle world, Hogwarts is obviously more famous in the magical world. If it is really costly, it will be no problem how expensive it is.
In fact, a long time ago, both Boothbatten and Durmstrong established tuition system. It was only because of Hogwarts' non-profit regulations that the other two magic schools in Europe were forced to cancel the tuition system one after another. No way, if you continue to maintain the fees, the students will be robbed of Hogwarts!
But in this way, the school will inevitably be subject to others financially. Although it is nominally free sponsorship, the school board, which was originally held in the hands of the descendants of the four founders, has gradually flowed into the hands of the major "wealthy people" over the years.
The irony is that most of those people belong to the family of pure-blood wizards.
Therefore, although the school board, which is mainly composed of families of pure-blood wizards, cannot directly interfere with the development of the school and the management of school affairs, it still has some influence. Just like the appointment and dismissal of principals, as long as three-quarters of the members agree, the position of the incumbent principal can be revoked.
It has been complicated over the years, and it is not clear in a moment.
The Black family, where Sirius belongs, was once one of the twelve board members of Hogwarts, but the decline of its family allowed this position to be occupied by other new donors. While Dumbledore has been in power for many years, he also attracted several new sponsor members with his personal charm. This is not to mention ~IndoMTL.com~ In short, if Hogwarts wants to be truly independent in the future, It will inevitably have friction with those pure-blood wizard families that support the operation of the school. This is obviously a very contradictory trend. But once the economic problem was solved by Hogwarts, the contradiction no longer existed.
This is exactly what those pure-blood families worry about.
Lupin told Sirius all the things he had thought about these days. He believed that with Sirius's mind, he must be able to understand the subtleties. Although Sirius doesn't like to use his brains on weekdays, it is not because he is too stupid, but simply because he prefers to solve problems by strength.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Sirius just thought about it for a moment, then nodded. Although he did not speak, he already had a partial understanding of Lupin's previous behavior.
The reason why Lupin informed Lucius Malfoy of Narcissa’s news was to allow Hogwarts to have one less school board member who would secretly make small moves in the near future.
Meeting and soliciting, Dumbledore did this in most cases when he was still alive.
"The Malfoy family is in a bad situation now, but after all, their family still has enough background and will not fall down so easily." Lupin concluded, "Give some help to them when they are most difficult. Hogwarts and the Order of the Phoenix are good for us, aren't they?"
When Lupin said these words, Sirius seemed a little disapproving.
"Do you really think that Malfoy will remember this good?"
But Lupin smiled and said meaningfully: "It's just that, of course he won't remember... Well, maybe he forgot it'accidentally' anytime. But he has a bad memory. , Can’t we help him improve his memory?"
