Chapter 53 Learn to cherish your loved ones

"You're so neglecting our minister." Lucius said in a tone that pretended to be condemnation, but in fact slightly sarcastic, "Actually, for Fudge, you only need to do two things. ”

Danielton was interested, and he asked curiously, "Which two?" ”

"First, don't threaten his ministerial position; Second, if you make money, remember to give him some benefits, it's as simple as that. Lucius replied, "I don't know if you have noticed, my dear Daniel, that you have a very good reputation now." What kind of insurance do you pay your employees, and even give them insurance? It's called insurance...... I'm not wrong, right? You've got so many new gadgets! But it worked, and many wizards became your supporters. Recently, even a number of people in the Ministry of Magic have been discussing these things, and they have decided that it would be better to apply for a better position in your company than to spend their time in the Ministry of Magic......"

"Also, in many newspapers and magazines such as Wizarding Weekly, you consistently outrun the other candidates in the polls about the 'most popular wizard' at the moment. So, that's probably why Fudge wants to get you in trouble. ”

When Lucius said this, he tapped the table lightly with his quill, thought for a moment, and said, "Actually, I am full of understanding Fudge, and it is a coincidence that he has come to the position of minister. Now, with little prestige and power in his own hands, he is still able to hold the position of Minister because of the tenuous balance that has been formed by the tug-of-war between us and Gryffindor. ”

"At this time, he is very anxious, and you still come out to stimulate him, no matter who it is, he can't pretend to be generous to you, not to mention, he is a villain."

"I can understand that." Daniel laughed sarcastically, "Anyway, I'm too high-profile, right?" ”

"You're wrong!" Lucius Malfoy immediately said in a disapproving tone, "Daniel, will the robbers not rob you just because you are poor?" Apparently not. Keeping a low profile and showing weakness is an art, but it's not something you should use all the time. For example, do you think if I had gone to Fuguet for a plan, he would have retorted so directly? ”

"Hmm...... I don't know, it won't be very direct, but he will probably pass the buck too, right? Daniel replied thoughtfully.

"Yes, prevarication. But he wouldn't, and wouldn't dare to reject me directly. Malfoy said almost arrogantly.

He raised his head, the long light blonde hair behind his head was neatly groomed, not a single hair was out of place, even if he was at home, his face was as handsome and shining as if he had taken the Glory Elixir.

He asked so triumphantly, "Merlin, do I usually feel very low-key?" But why didn't he dare do this to me? What is the difference between you and me? ”

Daniel was silent for a moment.

"Fudge thinks you're weak." Lucius hit the nail on the head and said, "It's good that many wizards praise you for being friendly and kind. But you forget a little bit, you are no longer the exotic wizard who first came to England, you are the head of the Black family. The Black family, like Malfoy, is a large family with a long tradition in the wizarding world. Occasionally put your aristocratic shelf on the side! ”

He sighed slightly and said, "My dear Daniel, you have made Fudge look down on you. ”

"You're right." Daniel had to admit that Lucius was right.

There are always some people in this world who regard the friendliness and demeanor of others as a sign of weakness and deception.

"Thank you, Lucius." Daniel sighed and said, "I hate thinking about this kind of thing. ”

"You're welcome." Lucius said with a slight smile, and then admonished pointedly, "But you have to get used to it, Lord Black. ”

At the same time, Remus Lupin and Sirius Black were also discussing the new head of the Black family.

They lived with Harry at 5 Privet Road in Little Whinging, next door to Harry's aunt, the Dursleys.

The interior of the newly rented house had been furnished with a very warm and childlike atmosphere, and at this time, Harry was taking a nap in his bedroom because he was tired of playing with the big dog.

"You really hadn't heard of him before? Don't you know his mother? ”

From time to time, Remus glanced at Harry, who was napping in his room, to prevent him from waking up and not finding anyone to cry about; On the other side, Sirius whispered, "Siris, I've never heard you say that besides Regulus, you have such a powerful brother. ”

"I don't know, Remus." Sirius was modifying a Muggle toy car, and he wanted to add some automatic modes to the car, such as automatic turning, braking, and occasionally flying a little lap at low altitude or something, "He said it was Uncle Alpha's son, but I really hadn't heard of Uncle Alphad having this son. ”

"It's really weird." Lupin pondered, "I remember the uncle who sponsored you, but I didn't hear you say that he had a son. Afterwards, you said that after he was removed, he was never heard from, but guessing his age, he should have had Daniel at that time. But since he has a son, why would he give you all the property......

"I've returned Uncle Alphad's property to Daniel." Sirius argued.

"It's not about the property, Siris. Rather, he appeared strangely. Remus patiently explained to Sirius, "Can you tell me about him?" ”

"Okay." Sirius compromised and put down the toy car in his hand and began to say to Lupin seriously: "Actually, many people are quite curious about him. Now the wizarding world is talking about him almost everywhere, and it's amazing to be able to do this. As for whether he is Blake or not, I think there is nothing to doubt about it, and blood magic testifies that he must be from the Black family. Otherwise, you won't be able to inherit Blake's ......"

"Do you regret it?"

"What?"

"Do you regret letting someone else inherit Blake?"

"I wish I could! It's just that I thought that person would be Rael......"

"I'm sorry."

"Nothing." Sirius paused before he continued, "What did I just say?" By the way, Daniel's mother, I don't know, but I guess it's a Muggle, and if it's a wizard, my uncle wouldn't have kept it a secret. But Daniel didn't mention it himself, and I'm not going to ask him, this is **. As far as I know, it's just that he grew up in the United States, and speaking of which, I haven't heard of any decent magic schools in the United States, and I don't know who he learned magic from......"

Sirius pondered for a moment, a little confused.

But soon, he continued, "He caused quite a stir as soon as he came to the British wizarding world. To put it simply, he actually only did three things. The first thing was to go to the court of Wizengamot, win the lawsuit, and let the Ministry of Magic return Blake's family property, and then, inherit the Blake family; The second thing, you know, is that I was cleared of my grievances, and I was designed to catch Peter; The third thing is the acquisition of Diagon Alley, this has a special video, you can look for it if you are interested, many witches have collected it, and because of this, it is so exaggerated that he is obsessed with him. Because of this, he has been talked about by everyone for more than a month. ”

"That's really remarkable." Remus was surprised that he didn't expect that when he was busy making a living and wandering around, there would be such a prominent figure in the British wizarding world.

Sirius also gave a look of almost amazement, "Seriously, he's a lot more beautiful and more popular than we were at school. I think if he goes to the Sorting House, he'll be a Gryffindor...... Moreover, if he continues to do this, it is estimated that it will be even more sensational, and he will continue to be talked about by everyone in the wizarding world. ”

"What do you think ......," Remus said in a very cautious tone, "do you think he can be trusted?" ”

"Remus, I don't know."

Sirius replied, his dark gray eyes flashing with confusion, "I'm sorry, I really don't know. I got a big heel and my head was bleeding, you know. Because of the gullibility of Peter, I hurt James and them......"

His voice grew lower, "You don't have to comfort me...... I know, I know, I know that I shouldn't doubt others because I'm a coward, and I don't want to doubt my brothers and friends. However, I really can't do it right now...... I can't trust someone like I used to. ”

"Ciris......" Remus Lupin did not simply persuade or comfort him, but stared at him with a very sincere gaze, encouraging: "But you have done the best you can!" I'll be with you for the rest of the day, brother. ”

"Thanks, Remus. In terms of pure profit, I don't think Daniel needs to harm us. Sirius, after reassuring his feelings, calmly commented: "I feel that he has no sense of belonging to England in his bones, and is neither on the side of the aristocracy nor on our side." His purpose seems to be very simple, is to make money, and then inherit Blake's fake inheritance? He was not averse to Muggles either, and seemed to have a few Muggle friends. He has his own set of principles as a man, although he seems to value money and other things, but his heart is not bad, otherwise he would not have saved me. After all, I'm also the direct heir to the Black family, and if I really want to fight him, you know...... So, I think, it should be credible, right? ”

Remus nodded slightly, and then said, "Since you think he can be trusted, let's go back to Black's house tonight." ”

"Huh?" Sirius looked up in surprise, "I thought you were more used to living here. Black's house is big, but it's too ......," he pondered for a moment, and finally said, "It's too Slytherin." ”

"But he's your relative." Remus said gently, "Don't be like Regulus, who only regrets when you lose." This time, let's learn to cherish it. ”

Sirius was silent for a moment, then muttered, "You're always right, Prefect Lupin." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

So, that night, Sirius, who was holding the green-eyed little Harry, strode into the old Black mansion and saw the brother who needed him to 'cherish', holding a little blue-eyed boy with a bright smile, playing some childish game of raising high.

"What is this? What is it? ”

Sirius pointed at the pale golden boy, looked at Daniel, and then turned sharply to Lupin and yelled, "Merlin, I see a future little Slytherin." ”

So, the blue-eyed Drake who heard the sound turned his head, and the green-eyed Harry also raised his head, and the eyes of the two children collided at once.
