Chapter 393: Conversation (Sincere thanks to Silver Alliance Ksg and Phantom Feather)
"You want to ask Albert?" Alan saw this, and thoughtfully asked first.
"Yes. Seeing that her mind was exposed, Fleur became generous, "I want you to help me ask Albert about the Christmas Ball, does he have time, would he like to be my dance partner?"
With a mischievous glint in her eyes, she continued, "If Albert can't come, and I don't want to dance with someone else, then you'll have to be your brother in his place." ”
Allen's body couldn't help but distance herself a little from her, and nodded again and again.
Originally, Alan planned to talk to Mr. Harris after the game, and it was not a big deal for Fleur to do it, after all, it was also about the lifelong happiness of his eldest brother Albert.
Back at the castle, Alan immediately sent Benny to Mr. Harris a note for the interview.
At eight o'clock in the evening, at the tower of the Harris family, Mr. Harris arrived as promised.
The two of them sat in the spacious and comfortable sofa chairs, and Alan recounted Dumbledore's conversation with him that night to Mr. Harris, word for word. At the same time, he also told Mr. Harris about Krum's several conversations and changes in attitude since the World Cup.
"Son, what you have in mind is the truth. Mr. Harris took a sip of the coffee in front of him, collected his thoughts, and continued, "We are a pure-blood family in Germany, and your great-grandfather Joachim Harris was a hardcore of Grindelwald. As a last resort, we also had a number of liquidated German pure-blood families transferred to England. ”
Mr. Harris said, looking at his youngest son's expression.
Alan is steady by nature, and after hearing the news, his face is still unmoved.
Mr. Harris nodded and continued, "In the United Kingdom, although many pure-blood wizard families know about this matter, it is still very rare among ordinary wizards. The reason why I didn't tell you before was because you didn't know how to use Occlumency, and you didn't show extraordinary intelligence and steady character. ”
"And during the summer, when you and your mom disappeared?" Alan asked softly.
Mr. Harris nodded approvingly, pleased with his son's cleverness, "Yes, we went to see Grindelwald." As a courtesy, I invited Grindelwald out of the mountain. ”
Mr. Harris and Allen both showed a smile of understanding on their faces, with the current situation of the Harris family, of course, they were unwilling to ask a big mountain to press on their heads, the reason why Mr. Harris went to visit Grindelwald, of course, was not only out of etiquette, he knew that Grindelwald would never go out of the mountain, and more importantly, he wanted to use Grindelwald's connections to receive those who had followed Grindelwald.
"He helped me write letters to contact people who were more or less related to us Harris, and now the older ones had been put into the family estates by me, and the younger ones were being trained in the same way as the Aurors. Mr. Harris smiled, leaning backwards and sinking comfortably into the couch.
"Grindelwald was a hero, and now he has to find a way out for the descendants of the men who once followed him. The Harris family is the most promising of these families, and it is relatively easy for us to gain the support of the pure-blood descendants of the persecuted Grindelwald because their ancestors followed Grindelwald. After all, since the fall of Grindelwald, their reputation has been so bad that it is extremely difficult to turn over, and their lives are really different from their previous extravagant life. ”
Mr. Harris looked at Alan with satisfaction, if it weren't for the untold fortune that Alan had obtained in the vampire manor, Mr. Harris would have been just a minor official of the Ministry of Magic.
Not only that, but Alan also found various means to improve his strength, which is where Mr. Harris dares to use those precious treasures.
"You said that Voldemort was about to return to the wizarding world, and that was the right time to bring down him and the British pure-blood family who supported him. Mr. Harris sneered, "We're going to have to face these stubborn guys sooner or later anyway." Our Harris family itself is still too small, and this fresh blood from Grindelwald can help us put down roots in the UK. ”
Alan held up the coffee glass beside him and clinked glasses with Mr. Harris as if he were a toast.
"Father, there's one more thing I want to tell you. After getting down to business, Alan remembered Fleur's request.
"Albert has been a bit busy lately. Mr. Harris groaned, revealing a look of embarrassment, "But what kind of girl is this girl named Fleur and Albert who both have a crush on each other?"
"Beautiful!" Alan blurted out. Mr. Harris's brow furrowed.
"In fact, what makes her more beautiful than rumored to be is her strength and intelligence. She is one of the warriors of the Three Witches Tournament. Father, in your capacity, you are fully qualified to attend the Hogwarts ball, and it would be a good thing to bring Albert with you. Alan said all the good things about Fleur, on the one hand, he really wanted Albert to be happy, and on the other hand, he definitely didn't want his dance partner to become Fleur.
Mr. Harris pondered for a moment, "I'm going to ask Fudge to take Albert to this ball." Lately, as our Harris family has grown in power, Fudge's attitude towards me has been as amiable as ever, but I can sense that his heart has changed. This request for personal reasons can also be seen as a gesture of favor to him by our Harris family. Now is not the time to fall out with Fudge. ”
Allen very much agrees with Mr. Harris's words, and his considerations and choices are very wise in the big picture. There is no doubt that Mr. Harris has become a mature politician.
"By the way, you have to be careful lately, Azkaban had another prisoner escape in your first game. Someone attacked the Auror jailers, mixed them into the prison with a polypotion, and then used the polypharmacy to replace the prisoners who should have been released with the Death Eaters who should not have been released. Mr. Harris warned Allen.
Fudge didn't have the face to admit to the wizarding world that Azkaban had escaped from prison again, holding the lid firmly on it, not letting the news leak out, and not being able to catch anyone responsible. Hehe. Mr. Harris pursed his lips contemptuously.
"Barty Crouch Jr. Alan said in a deep voice, "I heard him say when I was looking for him before that he wanted some help. ”
Alan used his ability to remember the teacher's area during the game, and found no trace of Moody.
Eren raised his eyes, "Which Death Eaters ran away?"
