The Malfoy family has indeed stood at the apex of the wizarding world, especially after the decline of old families such as the Gaunt family and the Black family, the leader of the pure-blood family has indisputably become the Malfoy family.

And the Malfoy family didn't even have a competitor, and Blake, who could overpower the Malfoy family, directly broke off the inheritance, and the men in the family were left with Sirius still staying in Azkaban, and finally died cleanly.

And there are still women in the Black family, among which the three sisters who are eligible to inherit the Black family are the three Black sisters, but the eldest sister Bellatrix. Lestrange is now also in Azkaban, and died in the final battle at Hogwarts.

And the second sister Andomeda. Blake has been evicted from the house, so including her daughter, Nymphadora. Tonks, including those who have no right to inherit.

Finally, there is the third sister Narcissa. Blake, as everyone knows, is married to Lucius. Malfoy, and he survived to the end, so if there were no surprises, the Black family would eventually be succeeded by Narcissa, and the two would be one by the time they arrived at Draco.

Of course, there is no shortage of accidents at any time, such as Sirius leaving his part of the inheritance to Harry Potter, and Draco was finally forced to join the Death Eaters, and Lucius, although I don't know how the Malfoy family finally got out, but it will not be too easy.

And now the only ones who are likely to catch up with the Malfoy family are the Lestrange family, and the Lestrange family is also married to the Black family, but now the two heirs of the family, the Lestrange brothers, have also entered Azkaban.

After that, there are no rivals.

Neither Goyle, nor Noether, nor the Parkinson's family are still some way from the Malfoy family.

These are all families from Slytherin House, and there are really few families outside of Slytherin House that are very strong, the Longbottom House was very strong before, and now there is only one old lady supporting the family.

The fundamental reason for this is that most of these powerful and influential families have been patronized by Voldemort, so they either join the Death Eaters, or fight against the Death Eaters, or have no choice but to leave England.

This also shows how harmful Voldemort's rule has done to the wizarding world.

As far as Severus is concerned, in the eleven years that Dumbledore's Order of the Phoenix fought against the Death Eaters led by Voldemort, the death toll in the entire British wizarding community reached about 700, including those who were incapacitated like the Longbottoms, and more than 100 were captured in Azkaban during this time.

Some people may think that this data is a bit small, why did it take eleven years of black-white conflict to kill so many people? If this is applied to the current Palestinian-Israeli conflict, this figure will be exceeded in less than a month.

The main reason for this is that there are too few people in the wizarding world.

Aunt Rowling once gave a statistic that there were only about 3,000 wizards in the wizarding world in the entire United Kingdom at the beginning of the Harry Potter plot, and there were more than 700 young wizards in Hogwarts schools, which is still the number at the beginning of the plot, and now I am afraid it is even less.

And looking at the population distribution at that time, it can also be seen that there are more than 700 little wizards, but the total number is only 3,000, so how rare should the number of adult wizards be?!

However, as far as the feeling in the movie is concerned, it should be more than 3,000, just looking at the prosperity of Diagon Alley at the beginning of school, there are at least more than 2,000 people, and all the wizards can't go to Diagon Alley on the same day and at the same time when school starts!

Even so, hundreds of casualties and nearly a thousand casualties are already close to the end of the world for the wizarding world, otherwise there would not be so many people celebrating Harry Potter's defeat of the mysterious man, and even calling him a savior.

Because of this, there are relatively few old people in the wizarding world, such as Harry Potter, Weasley, and other characters who appear, almost none of them have grandparents, and according to the lifespan of wizards, even if it is the lifespan of normal people, those old people should still be there, the reason can only be because most of the old people died in the black-and-white confrontation.

Some of these people belonged to the Order of the Phoenix, some belonged to the Death Eaters, and some belonged to the Ministry of Magic.

There are also some that are killed completely randomly, and Death Eaters like to celebrate by murder.

And even more Muggles died because of it.

So now is also an opportunity for the Malfoy family, and if Lucius Malfoy wants to take the Malfoy family a step further and have more say, now is the time to act.

But apparently, Lucius Malfoy had no such intentions.

"The Malfoys are already at the top, and you should know, Severus, it's easy to be pushed down at the top." Lucius just said calmly, with no desire for power in his eyes, and then he continued, "Malfoy is strong enough now, and no matter how strong it is, it will only bring disaster." ”

And hearing Lucius's words, Severus just wanted to laugh, laugh.

"You think the Malfoys are at their limit, don't you? Further, although it can grow in a short time, the family will not last long? ”

I have to say that Lucius's idea still makes some sense, after all, there have been too many similar examples.

But what age is it now, and if there is such an old-fashioned mentality, how does a family-owned business grow? How does a family manage a country? Even if it were not for the constraints of the international community, it would not be difficult for a top family to control the harmony and stability of a region.

It can only be said that Lucius's vision limited him.

It is not necessary to have a conflict with other people to develop a family, in addition to plundering resources, another way is to create more new interests.

Snatching someone else's cake will naturally be attacked, so what if you make a new cake? I'm so powerful, I don't have a problem with the biggest cake, right? When more and more people gather in emerging markets, the old markets will naturally be crushed, and the families with more shares in the new markets will naturally develop stronger.

And it's not a family against a group, it's a majority against a minority.

The key is actually how to make a new cake that is bigger, more fragrant and more delicious than the original.

"Lucius, how long do you think the wizarding world hasn't changed? It's been a long time since you've been exposed to the Muggle world, and I suggest you go out and see how Muggles are growing their country and how they're growing their company. ”

"But don't be in England, go to America, you won't see these things in England."
