Chapter 15 The junior brother is actually the person of the year?

After filing the 'Estate Petition', Daniel has about two weeks or so to prepare the relevant materials for the upcoming trial.

These materials are similar to: death certificates, relevant property certificates, heir identity certificates, blood relationship certificates and other messy things of the direct heirs of the Black family.

Among them, there are many ambiguities.

For example, Regulus Black has always been missing rather than dead to the outside world; In addition, Daniel was born in the United States, and the Ministry of Magic is likely to refuse to recognize his legal inheritance, etc.

Moreover, if the Ministry of Magic is more shameless and insists that 'the Black family is a family of war criminals and must confiscate all their property', then even if Daniel completes all the procedures, he still can't inherit the family property.

Fortunately, the authority of the Wizengamot in the British wizarding world led the Ministry of Magic to generally comply with its decisions.

The Wizengamot Tribunal has fifty members, and with the consent of more than half of the members, Daniel can successfully inherit the Black family.

As for how to deal with these people.

This time, Lucius couldn't do anything about it, "if you're not that eager......"

In his usual slow tone, he said, "I can help you get some people." But you're right about Sissi, if you really rely on me to help you out, then it's a pity......"

The arrogant platinum nobleman smiled maliciously: "I will declare that the Black family has become a vassal of the Malfoy family. ”

After he said this, he retracted his expression, changed back to his previous image of a reliable brother-in-law, and said with a little approval: "Yes, you made the right choice, Daniel." ”

"Thank you, though...... I don't help, but it's always okay to give a little help, right? Daniel shrugged, not frightened by Lucius's instantaneous change of face, but pleaded very frankly.

Lucius looked at him with a smile, and found it very amused.

Narcissa's distant cousin, perhaps because of the living conditions in the United States, never seemed to learn to speak around the bend. Every time he says something, he likes to make a painful straight ball.

Paradoxically, it's not as annoying as the Gryffindor gang, because his head bends.

Daniel may not be smart enough, but he has a good upbringing, and he draws inferences. Neither overly dependent on others, taking the help of others for granted, nor acting as a noble and pedantic appearance to refuse the help given by relatives and friends.

Sometimes, he will just borrow the power of the people around him to achieve his goals.

It's the first time I've seen someone with such a personality, but I don't hate it.

So, Lucius happily gave him an accurate answer: "Of course, what help do you need?" ”

"The basic information of the fifty members of the Wizengamot, this shouldn't be difficult for the Malfoy Patriarch, right?" Daniel asked with a smile.

"Pretty simple." Lucius nodded, "When do you want it?" ”

"If you can, today. I only have two weeks until the court starts. Daniel smiled and cautiously made the second request, "Also, I'd like to ask you for help in introducing someone."

Lucius nodded calmly, and neatly instructed the house-elf to find out all the information about the members of the Wizengamot in the study and give it to Daniel; He turned his head and asked, "Who do you want me to introduce you to?" ”

"Hogwarts' new Potions professor, Mr. Severus Snape." Daniel rubbed his hair and smiled a little embarrassed, "I heard you were friends with him when they were students?" ”

"Uh...... Yes. Lucius was stunned for a moment, his expression was a little complicated, as if he didn't expect to hear the name of 'that strange temperament' in the mouth of an American wizard, he raised his eyebrows a little puzzled, "You actually know him?" ”

"It's been known for a long time." Daniel said excitedly, "Second World Times, a well-known publication published in the United States...... Specifically documented populations with specific functions...... Well, no, it's news from the wizarding world...... In short, it is a very authoritative publication. It is divided into the American main edition and the international sub-edition. Among them, the people column of the international sub-edition will regularly introduce some outstanding people from various countries...... Among them, there is a very high award every year - the Person of the Year Award. ”

"In the 236th issue, the winner of the Man of the Year is Mr. Severus Snape. His improvements and innovations in potions have revolutionized the medical profession in the American wizarding world...... Before that, many people didn't believe in our long-passed potions, thinking that they were deceptive and unscientific......"

As if remembering the tragic experience of 'when he and his friends were interested in recommending wizard potions, only to be almost arrested by the government for selling fake medicines', Daniel died for a moment.

"Dear brother-in-law, you don't know. The wizarding system in the United States is not the same as in the United Kingdom. He took the opportunity to flatter again.

"There are no pure-blood families in the United States, and their history books may not be as thick as the fairy tale books of the little dragons. Prior to Mr. Snape's papers, many people thought that 'wizards' potions were an obscure, unfounded occult science. They prefer to believe in the body's self-healing function rather than in potions. ”

"It's Mr. Snape, who justifies potions with practical examples. Moreover, his improvement and innovation of potions are very much in line with the needs of modern people, and have brought great help to patients. All should be grateful for his contribution. ”

Beneath Lucius's expressionless exterior is a magnificent inner emotion.

How did he not know that 'that quirky junior brother' was so great? What kind of turtle is the American wizarding world, and actually holds a Potions professor up to the sky?

In fact, it's not Daniel talking nonsense.

As a great aristocrat, Lucius valued all things that were things of interest and power, and he knew almost nothing about the field of 'scientific research'.

Scientific research, yes, the American Second World (the world where humans with extraordinary abilities live) has relegated 'wizard potions' to the field of medical research.

And in this regard, Severus Snape is a true master.

He may not have deliberately blessed, but his tireless pursuit and improvement of potions did bring a ray of dawn to the already 'declining' field of potions.

'Decline', yes, in the United States, Ancient Potions is close to 'decline'.

In the face of genetic potions, as well as a series of more scientific things such as gamma rays and alien black technology, wizarding potions, which have a long heritage, but most of the precious historical materials have been lost, and have not changed their formulas for hundreds of years, were originally defined as "effective but outdated".

Many people have asked: Is the formula for potions left over a thousand years ago and missing from zài really still suitable for the needs of modern people?

Leaving aside the extinct potions, in the modern world alone, the symptoms of the sick are strange and up-to-date, and the immutable 'ancient potions', although worthy of respect and rarity, are unfortunately still 'obsolete' by the rapidly developing society.

Until Severus Snape came out.

It can be said that this Potions master-level figure will fall heavily in modern history.

His modified wolf □□ was used on the Hulk by S.H.I.E.L.D.'s 'Dead Horse as a Live Horse Doctor', and afterwards, managed to keep the Hulk to his sanity for about two minutes (perhaps due to the lack of efficacy).

This is great news for New York, which is 'smashed by the Hulk from time to time'.

Therefore, Severus Snape, the 236th issue of Second World Time Weekly, was given great praise by the editors of the weekly.

In his biography, there is even such an introduction: he created a new discipline of 'modern potions', opened a new page for the study of medicine, and is respected as the 'father of modern potions'.

Lucius was a little bad.

After listening to Daniel's long list of detailed introductions, although I don't understand many things, such as what science, what Hulk, S.H.I.E.L.D.......

But at least there is one thing that he understands very well: 'his own quirky, withdrawn, unpleasant, and just a teacher's junior brother' actually belongs to the so-called 'man of the year' who is respected by thousands of people in other countries.

Especially that, the so-called 'father of modern potions', the honor is simply unbelievable!

It's a bit ...... It's kind of incredible.

But even Snape's can be America's man of the day; What about me, a platinum aristocrat with wisdom and beauty? ’

Lucius Malfoy thought to himself.

So, he coughed softly, "Uh...... You American wizarding ......"

Lucius gently tidied up his collar, stroked the snake staff in his hand, stood up straight, and asked reservedly and narcissistically: "Are there any records and reports about me, huh~?" ”

Daniel's excited expression suddenly seemed to be poured with cold water.

He looked at his cousin-in-law with an expression that seemed to have swallowed a mouse, "Uh...... It doesn't seem to be ......."

Lucius immediately looked disgusted and indifferent.

Despite this, Daniel couldn't bear to sue Sùlucius, even though no magazines had reported on him......

However, the only bit of news about the platinum aristocracy is there.

Deposited in the Second World Times Weekly No. 237...... Yes, the anecdotal allusion to Voldemort, which was issued later than Snape, reads approximately:

[Voldemort dedicated his life to a pure-blood career and was a standard unmarried. He doesn't have any affection, and the only lace news is from one of his right-hand men, Lucius Malfoy. 】

[This wizard from a platinum aristocratic family, with long platinum blonde hair and a handsome appearance like an elf, has had many ambiguous scandals with Voldemort. 】

[The relationship between the two was once a mystery...... Confusing and extremely mysterious]
