"You mean, Lady Catherine is so afraid of me because her family, originally a servant of the Gaunt family?"

Luke was a little messy by the news.

In this way, he could understand Lady Catherine's reaction. After all, if it were him, after finally waiting for the heir of the main family to become extinct and he was free, the main family would have another heir, and he would definitely feel double discomfort physically and psychologically.

If you have a little courage, you will also wonder if you can make this heir disappear from both physical and social meaning.

Luna nodded: "It's no secret that Aunt Catherine's previous Lance family was a vassal of the Gaunt family. After all, even the Gaunt family, who had been extremely downtrodden before, often went to the Reims family to ask for money. And the Lance family had to give, not even the slightest bit of unhappiness. ”

"The power of the contract."

Luke could have figured out what was going on with a little thought, after all, there were many contracts in the wizarding world, and some of them were quite unequal.

"But I didn't know about the existence of this contract, and it wasn't recorded in the notes I left at home, which means that this contract was not signed by our team."

Luke had no interest in such a family of servants. Of course, the most important thing is that it is clear that Madame Catherine, or the entire Reims family, should now have a little bit of fear and hatred towards the Gaunt family......

If they have to inherit this 'family legacy', maybe they will really muster up 'courage'.

And at this moment, Luke clearly thought of something else. Both Professor McGonagall and Luna in front of him were the reasons for him to refuse or tear up the contract.

Just as Luke was distracted, his eyes suddenly went dark, he was startled, leaned back slightly, and then saw what was in front of him clearly. It was a black kitten about 30 centimeters long. The eyes are an emerald emerald color similar to Luke's.

Luna's smile brightened when she saw Luke startled, "His name is Booker, and it's a new breed of cat that Aunt Catherine found from a Muggle breeder. After several generations of hybridization, he was able to adapt to some of the wizarding world. ”

Luna introduced Booker to Luke, and the black short-legged cat raised a small paw and waved lazily at Luke as if to say hello.

The corners of Luke's mouth twitched, if he was really saying hello just now, then this cat was a little too smart.

"You two smell very similar, it should be very compatible."

With that, Luna shoved Booker into Luke's arms. Luke subconsciously wrapped his hands around Booker, and Booker lay lazily in Luke's arms without moving. It looks very comfortable.

Luna smiled with satisfaction, "He likes you a lot. ”

Luke looked at Booker, was silent for a moment, and then smiled as well, "I like him too." ”

The kitten that was being held meowed twice, and then rubbed against Luke's face, as if to express his affection for Luke.

And at this time, Luke suddenly felt a happy mood.

But it didn't come from him. Luke should have been on his alert for a moment, but he didn't act accordingly. There is both this happy mood and guidance. There is also an almost instinctive instinct that feels harmless.

Luke looked at Luna beside him, knowing that this was the source of his emotions.

He felt more and more that this little girl who could see strange things was very mysterious.

————————

"It's just a coincidence."

Professor McGonagall took a sip of her wine and said slowly, "I just came to buy supplies for his school, and I didn't know that the pet he wanted would be a cat." And since it's a cat, why don't you take this opportunity to talk about your business. ”

Catherine drank the glass again, then picked up the bottle and filled it for herself.

"Why does this family of iniquities still exist?"

She said in a tone that bordered on gnashing her teeth.

"Greedy, indulgent, inferior, ugly, this family has almost all the ugliness together, and such a family should be extinct!"

Seeing her emotions spiraling out of control, Professor McGonagall raised her hand and cast a soundproof spell on the place.

"In fact, they're dead, Catherine." Professor McGonagall stared at Lady Catherine and said, "As far as I know, Luke's branch doesn't have much to do with the Gaunt family who persecuted you. It doesn't even matter if he knows you exist. ”

"And, before their decline, the Gaunt family was known for being obedient, but they were still a very respectable family."

Lady Catherine could not argue. The entire wizarding world knows that these noble families with a long heritage did not become nobles because of their bloodline. Their family must have ancestors who are respected enough, and there are many heroes among the descendants.

"What's more, Catherine, Luke is still a child, no matter how mature he is, he is still a child, and a child with aristocratic pride, I think you may be able to come to an agreement and really cancel that contract."

Professor McGonagall gave a solemn reminder.

"Yes, this may be an opportunity, we can come up with enough money......"

Catherine pondered for a moment, but before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Professor McGonagall.

"Think of something else, he doesn't lack money, knowledge, treasures, magic props, etc." Professor McGonagall said earnestly, "This kid has inherited all the inheritance that belongs to his Gaunt family, and really, it's more money than I can imagine. ”

Catherine choked for a long time: "So what should we give?" ”

Professor McGonagall shook her head, "I don't know, but I'm not going to let you fool my students." Today, if I bring him over and ask him to talk to you, I am already harming his interests. So if you can't come up with enough of a price, then I'll leave with my students on the spot. ”

So Lady Catherine bowed her head in great distress.

But after a moment, she looked up again.

"You take such good care of him?" Catherine looked at the friend in front of her very strangely, "You don't want to kidnap him to Gryffindor, do you?" ”

Professor McGonagall was not happy when she heard this.

"How can that be called abduction! Everyone has the right to choose their own college, doesn't they? I'm just a reasonable guide. ”

Catherine shook her head suspiciously.

"Slytherin, the founder of this house was one of the ancestors of their family, and I really don't think this child will become a lion cub. I guess the first time I saw him, I didn't even have to put it on, and the Sorting Hat would have shouted 'Slytherin'. ”

So the number of people who were distressed changed from one to two......
