Chapter 076: Inspecting the Family Property

The next day, the number of people traveling increased to six, and when Draco heard about Harry and Catherine from his mother, he immediately asked to go with him, and Lucius not only supported him, but also gave him a mission to check on the Malfoy family's estate.

After learning about Draco's mission, Catherine simply took out a map of the United Kingdom, marked the three families' industries one by one in three colors, and then set out to check, saving time and avoiding tossing back and forth.

The Potter family doesn't know that from that ancestor, they have passed down a strange habit of buying land, and they will buy a piece of land at will if they are interested in it or have some spare money, especially when they get married, they must carefully choose a place to buy and build a house.

If it weren't for Catherine's vision of the land purchase contract copied with magic in the inheritance ring, she wouldn't have known that the Potter family was actually the largest landowner in the wizarding world, and the land under her name was actually spread across the four oceans and seven continents, and there were countless in the United Kingdom, but they had not been ignored for hundreds of years, and many hands had been occupied by Muggles or wandering wizards.

Since Phineas became the headmaster of Hogwarts, the Black family knows that it is not easy to cultivate talents, so they left a group training, and when signing an employment agreement with all talents, it must be a lifelong death contract.

Even in the past ten years, the Black family has sunset, but none of these contracts have been terminated, just agreeing that they will find another job to support themselves, but as long as the Black family is in need, they must obediently come back to serve, so some people have joked that the Black family is the biggest "slave owner" in the wizarding world a long time ago.

As for the Malfoy family, its wealth has long been known. But no one knows that it is the richest family in the wizarding world at all, almost as long as it is a field to make money, it is involved, and the industry is all over the world, but many of them are not named after the Malfoy family, which makes people think that the Malfoy family is just too rich in their ancestors.

If it weren't for Lucius directly handing over the list of family assets to Draco and not specifically reminding him to keep it secret, even Narcissa wouldn't have known that her husband actually had the money to get to this kind of Cheng Dù, the declining property of the Black family. He couldn't look at it at all, but she was worried for 12 years.

Although Narcissa didn't get mad the first time she learned the truth, Draco said that his father slept in his study for a week.

Since Catherine is his sister and Sirius is his godfather, Harry agreed without hesitation to hand over the idle land of the Potter family to his sister and godfather.

Five hundred years ago, in a joint marriage, the Potter family directly leased all the land under their name at a low price. The Malfoy family's industry can be spread all over the world, and after the Black family lost power, it was the Malfoy family who took over all the labor under the other party's name, which avoided the loss of talent.

Now help your friends. Naturally, it is also being cleaned up, and the coins in your own vault should be taken out to bask in the sun instead of being idle to the point of mold, after all, only liquid money can generate wealth. Draco knew this very well.

Since the future heirs of the Potter family and the Malfoy family are so generous, as the temporary ruler of the Black family, Catherine naturally cannot be stingy. Directly to each family divided 30% of the net profit.

Harry didn't know how much thirty percent was, only that Catherine couldn't be allowed to suffer, after all, she still had a lot of people to feed; Draco had some knowledge of profits, but among his friends, it was too cheap to get three achievements without working. In order to avoid future disputes, Catherine did not want the Potter family and the Malfoy family to profit too little, and finally both sides took a step back and reached a deal with two and a half percent.

Although it has a monopoly of fifty percent of the net profit, the Black family has lost too much in the past ten years, and Catherine still has to go to school, so I am afraid that she may not be able to recover the cost at this time in the next three or five years, and I only hope that ten years later, I can completely turn losses into wins and re-enter the upper class.

The cooperation of the three families is not a verbal agreement, and there are still a lot of details that must be discussed, but the wizard's prophecy is magical, so this simple distribution of benefits is enough to temporarily tie the interests of the three families together, so that in the future storm, it can drive more smoothly.

Busy days always pass quickly, and in a blink of an eye it is the last day of the year 93 - Hunting Day.

The Hunt Day meeting took place at a farmstead outside London, but the meeting took place in the common room of Slytherin House.

Because the ring representing the identity of the Hunting Society's branch leader is actually the key to the Hunting Society's secret room, although it can only be activated on the day of the hunt, it is convenient for the chapter members to return to Slytherin House to meet on that day, and only go to Hogwarts in this way, but cannot leave the Slytherin common room. This method was kept secret in the hearts of successive branch presidents by the Brave Loyalty Mantra, and once they were discharged, the Brave Loyalty Mantra was rearranged, eliminating all possibility of leaking secrets.

?

Although Snape was the head of the year when he was in school, he was ostracized by the house because of his friendship with Lily, and it was not until the sixth year Christmas that he joined the hunting club by chance, so naturally he could not get in touch with the core of the hunting club, and then became a Death Eater, and was assigned many tasks by Voldemort, so even though he has been the head of the Slytherin house for ten years, he still can't grasp the true situation of the hunting club.

At the beginning, Regulus was still a loyal vassal of Voldemort, and he naturally couldn't trust Snape, who had always been questioned by the Death Eaters, so he would use guò duels to exchange for a glimmer of life for those future Death Eaters in the Hunting Society branch.

The Hunting Society, on the other hand, has always adhered to Regulus's "last wish", and has always been the core of Slytherin, who is willing to become a Death Eater. Stoke intended to embarrass Snape before he graduated, and severely underestimated Catherine's strength, otherwise it would be Thibbett who would succeed as branch president. Kensautte, and then Bissath. Demeter, as for Ixissi, has not been a core member since he has no strong hatred for other houses.

Thanks to Dulac. The Death Eater reserve at the core of Stoke was stabbed to death by three insulted juniors because of Catherine's calculations, and Ixesi, who took over as branch president, was not only outstanding, but also supported by Lucius, the acting president of the Hunting Society. The remnants of Stoker's men all died down, not daring to stir up trouble at will.

However, after Ixissi mastered the Hunting Society's branch, she did not immediately start cleaning it up, but after a year of investigation and verification, it was not until last year's Hunting Day party that she suddenly had a problem, and the specific circumstances were not clear to Catherine, because she was still lying unconscious in the medical wing at the time. Nearly 20 people, including Demeter, were removed, and more than half of those who were removed transferred to another school by Christmas, and the rest graduated en masse in June.

Therefore, today's Hunting Society's branches, and even the entire Slytherin House, no Death Eater reserves, at least on the surface, no student dares to show unusually fanatical loyalty to Voldemort, and the attitude towards other houses has also dropped from hatred to hostility, after all, those who can be assigned to Slytherin basically don't know how to be gregarious, and want to stand out from the crowd, unless they can be like Snape and Catherine, they have the strength to be proud of their peers when they first enter school.

Therefore, even though most of the members were not interested in the content of today's party, and even hoped that there would be some unexpected incident so that they could have an excuse to escape, they finally arrived at the meeting place on time, because the person who mentioned the content of the hunting day party was Catherine, and it was Ixissi who announced it at the Halloween party and drew lots on the spot to assign tasks, and the content of the party was to "evaluate the Dark Lords of the past".

There are not many Dark Lords in the history of the wizarding world, but no matter how they are counted, it is not enough for each member to divide equally, and the old ones are not very new to say, it feels like a vulgar story, but since it is a past generation, these two naturally have to be added recently, which is also the reason why many members are reluctant to participate in the party.

Gatler. Grindelwald is okay, his majestic era has passed more than fifty years ago, and few of the older generation have survived in the world, the horror atmosphere is not strong, but the residual power still exists, and Dumbledore, who defeated him, rarely leaves the school even during the Christmas holidays, so it is still very stressful to tell the deeds of this person under the nose of the old headmaster.

As for Voldemort, except for the first grade, the other students were born when he was at his most arrogant, and the shadow of his childhood is still shrouded in the shadows of his childhood, and even his parents dare not say his name, how dare he speak out as a child, and there are still people in the wizarding world who think that he is just missing, if he really returns, how can he let go of the person who announced his life to the public today!

The two organizers were also well aware of everyone's concerns, so Ixissi took the initiative to explain Grindelwald's deeds, and Catherine also took over the matter of giving a speech to Voldemort, but the psychology of wanting to listen but not daring to listen still made all the members can't help but be afraid, until the party began, and the story of the oldest Dark Lord began to unfold, and the attention of the participants was slowly distracted.
