222. The front page headlines of a new day
"The death of the last Travers, 28 Holy Clans go to one more!" 》
At breakfast time, the owl brought a new day's Daily Prophet to the Hogwarts students and teachers.
The news of Travers' death made headlines today.
"28 Holy Family?" Eddie muttered quietly, "There aren't a few left." ”
Roger said dissatisfiedly, "A guilty Death Eater died, but the newspapers said as if it were a great pity." ”
"The newspaper is just lamenting that the pure-blood family is missing another one." Said a girl sitting across from them.
Scott looked up.
"Marietta? Ekmo, in the same grade as me. Eddie whispered in his ear, "Her mother is a clerk in the Office of the Department of Magic's Department of Communications. ”
Roger also looked up at Ekmo at this time, "I don't understand, what's there to regret about this?" ”
Ekmo glared at Roger unconvinced, "The 28 Holy Clans are all pure-blood families with ancient inheritance in the wizarding world, and they ......"
"Stop."
Roger raised his hand to stop her tirade.
He pouted, "All I know is that Travers was a notorious Death Eater, and his death is not worth anyone's regret about. ”
"Individuals and families are not the same concept!" Ekmo said with some anger.
Roger looked at her again and began to bow his head to eat.
Ekmo took a deep breath in anger at his seemingly disdainful disdain to argue with her.
"Marietta." Autumn sitting next to Ekmo? Zhang tugged at her sleeve and shook her head, stopping her from saying any more.
After breakfast, Scott and the others went back to their bedroom.
The year-end exams are over, and they don't have to attend classes anymore while they wait for their results.
Back in the bedroom, Eddie walked up to Roger and looked him up and down.
"What's wrong with you, Roger?" He asked curiously.
Roger, who was sitting on the bed, lifted his eyelids and glanced at him, "Why do you ask?" ”
"Hmm......" Eddie continued to look at him, touching his fleshy chin with his hand, "you wouldn't have been so unkind to a girl before. ”
He sat down on Roger's bed unceremoniously and asked with great interest, "Tell me about it, what's going on?" ”
"Go away!" Roger impatiently raised his foot and kicked him away.
Eddie covered his ass and continued to ask, "You and Caccini officially broke up?" ”
Roger was moved by his perseverance in gossiping, and stretched out his leg and kicked him again.
Scott sat back on his bed, playing with a carved white bone in his hand.
[amputated arm bone], from Jasmin? Traverse, a strange magical item.
In the eyes of others, it is just a mediocre and quirky work of art.
But under Scott's magical perception, there is a very restrained magic in this small arm bone at this moment.
After months of contact, the arm bones no longer resisted his infusion of mana.
As soon as he increased the frequency of his mana fluctuations, this magic item that could cut off the magic contract would immediately work.
It is also a guarantee for his actions before he reaches adulthood at the age of 17.
With [severed arm bone] shielding traces, and a special portkey that cannot be tracked, it will greatly facilitate his movements.
"Scott! Milton! ”
At this point, Eddie still hasn't given up, and he calls out Scott and Milton's names.
"Don't you want to know? Roger's business. ”
Scott glanced at him and shook his head, "Sorry, not interested." ”
Milton also said: "It's Roger's private business. ”
"Oh......"
Eddie lay helplessly on his bed.
"You're really boring."
The dormitory became quiet.
Scott was playing with his arm bones, Milton was packing up, and Roger and Eddie were both lying on the bed.
At this time, Roger couldn't hold back, "Okay, I did break up with Caccini." ”
In an instant, the other three all turned to look at him.
"Aren't you not interested?" Roger asked Scott.
Scott said confidently: "Since you want to talk about this, as a friend, of course I will listen to you." ”
Roger looked at Milton.
Mir spread his hands, "It's up to you to decide whether you want to tell us or not." ”
By this time, Eddie had sat up from the bed again.
In fact, Scott is just teasing Roger, and he is really not interested in Roger's love affairs.
Of course, Milton was not very interested.
Soon, he began to think about himself again.
Milton also turned around and continued to pack his things.
Eddie was the only one looking at Roger expectantly.
Roger lost the desire to talk in an instant.
"Let's talk about today's Daily Prophet headlines!" He decisively changed the subject.
Scott and Milton turned to look at him again.
Roger continued, "The Travers family is gone, what do you think the Ministry of Magic will do with their family's legacy of property? ”
"Property?" Eddie's eyes lit up, "The Travers family has no heirs, will their family property be confiscated?" ”
"It's possible." Milton nodded.
He thought for a moment, and then said, "As is customary, the Ministry of Magic has the authority to dispose of the property left behind by such criminals. ”
"Really?"
Eddie was envious.
"It's decided!" He exclaimed, "I'm going to be the Minister of Magic!" ”
Milton shook his head, "But it's not that easy. ”
After all, Milton came from a wizarding family, and he still knew something about it.
Seeing that several of his roommates were interested, he explained to them, "The biggest obstacle for the Ministry of Magic to get the Travers family's property is the other pure-blood families who are related to the Travers family by marriage. ”
"Other pure-blood families?" Roger raised an eyebrow, "Relatives with different surnames have no inheritance rights. ”
"But they can single out a child who has Travers blood, change his or her surname, and make him or her the new heir," Milton said. It's not hard for them. ”
Eddie asked excitedly, "So we can see the battle between the Ministry of Magic and the pure-blood family over the Travers family's property?" ”
"It's more complicated than that, I think." Scott said, "The families who are related to Traverse are not a piece of the bucket, and this kind of thing, everybody wants to get the lion's share." ”
"That's true! Such a plot is definitely more exciting than the movie! Eddie's eyes lit up.
"It has nothing to do with us." "These fights, if they do happen, will only go on quietly below the surface," Milton said. ”
"Is that so?" Eddie smacked his lips regretfully.
Scott said angrily, "You'd better not inquire about it, lest you get into unnecessary trouble." ”
"Okay."
Eddie sighed with some regret.
"Can I only hope for the Daily Prophet, God knows, they rarely publish the truth!"
