Chapter 56: Bogin's Recklessness (Subscription Requested)
Sure enough, just as Lucius said, after a while, the other heads of the house arrived, and the living room sofa was full.
Seeing that so many people had arrived, the head of the Greengrass family had no choice but to follow Lucius's advice and hold a small party. The head of the BulstrΓ₯s family unceremoniously asked that his wife and children be sent to inform them that they should come too.
The feast began, and the wives and children of the various heads of the houses played and talked with each other, but the heads of the houses and Weston only stayed for a while, ate something, and gathered together in the secret room of the Greengrass family.
"Mr. Delacour, can you tell us about the progress you made in finding so many squibs?" The new head of the Burke family, Bogin Bock, looked at Weston and asked with a polite smile, but the taste in his words was really not very good.
"Boy, do you think that if Old Bock is dead, no one will be able to restrain you?" The Greengrass family owner squinted at Bogin, "Or did he die too quickly and forgot to tell what not to do, what not to ask?" β
The other heads of the house all looked at Bo Jin with a playful look in their eyes.
A few days ago, the old head of the Bock family died in a magical accident, and the blogging family, which had two or three kittens left, urgently needed someone to preside over the overall situation, and this is how Bogin Bock came to power.
However, it now seems that the manager of the dark magic store of Borgin Burke, who was very shrewd in the past, is not very smart.
Naturally, several heads of the family also saw it. Originally, he didn't want to share the interests with one more person, but in addition to Bokin's self-made cleverness, no one was born, and even several allies of the previous Bock family did not speak.
It would have been rude to speak first on the territory of other people's families, and Bo Jin was a new head of the family, and he was not qualified to speak until he was recognized by everyone, and there was a bit of questioning in Bock's words, which was offending Weston, a person who could benefit everyone.
For many reasons, Boginbock has been vaguely excluded.
Bo Jin seemed to realize something, and quickly closed his mouth, and cold sweat gradually appeared on his head.
The head of the Greengrass family glanced at Bock coldly, and was pulled off his robe by Lucius before he withdrew his gaze and said coldly: "I know the purpose of your coming, everyone is not a child, and the purpose of your coming is nothing more than Weston."
None of us are qualified to ask anything, and if we don't want to withdraw Galleons, we Greengrass family can do without you. β
"Alright, old man, you're not stupid!" Lucius smiled and said, "Let's talk about things first, we have time to talk about the rest." β
As soon as Bo Jin heard this, his face instantly turned pale, what Lucius said was obviously the meaning of settling accounts after the autumn, his methods were not as kind as his smile, and there were not a few families that he secretly killed.
Several family heads also heard Lucius's voice, and nodded very casually, basically this is the consequence of the destruction of the Bock family.
"Weston, it's up to you to talk about this." The Greengrass family owner looked at Weston apologetically, "I'm sorry, I originally wanted to solve this matter simply, but I didn't expect so many things to happen." β
Weston was only half convinced. It's true that I want to dispose of it myself, and I didn't expect it to be true, but the idea is not necessarily as simple as he said.
Weston didn't care, though.
Weston stood up, straightened his robe slightly, and smiled impeccably, the noble temperament of the fallen angel on his body was unexpectedly compared to everyone in the entire secret room.
"It actually has something to do with the Filch family." Weston said this, and the head of the Filch family was stunned, suddenly thought of something, and asked hesitantly: "You mean, that brother of mine?" β
"Yes, it's Mr. Argus Filch, the logistics deacon at Hogwarts." Weston nodded, "You all know what magic is being studied at Hogwarts, right?" β
All the heads of the family nodded, how could they not know that everyone sitting here had invested a lot of gold gallons, even if it was the Bock family, the old Bock had spent nearly half of the family funds, which was why Bo Jin was in a hurry to ask this.
Weston looked at the family masters, smiled slightly, and continued: "So, haven't you considered whether this magic can solve the problem of the squib?" β
"How could I not have thought about it, but it's just a guess, Squibs and Muggles are still different after all." The head of the Filch family said this bluntly, and several of the other family heads also showed a hint of strange expressions, it seemed that they had also thought about this matter.
"So what's the difference between Muggles and Squibs?" Weston asked.
At this moment, the heads of the family all frowned. The Greengrass family master thought for a while, and shook his head very dryly: "Weston, if you have researched something, you can just say it!" β
The heads of the house all nodded in agreement, agreeing with the words of the head of the Greengrass family.
Seeing this, Weston stopped selling his son, and told all his findings, which made the heads of the family startled.
"You're saying that my brother Argus wasn't supposed to be a Squib, but a genius?" The head of the Filch family asked incredulously.
"If nothing else, it should be like this." Weston nodded, hesitated, and then confessed, "As for the Squibs, the wizarding world really doesn't pay much attention to them, which means that everything is up to me to research. β
Weston didn't say the rest of the thing, he actually had an even bolder guess in mind. However, this speculation was too shocking, so it was never said, and even Dumbledore was not told.
It's just that this guess still needs to be verified, and this is the reason why Weston really wants to find the Squib.
"Well, I think we can decide." Seeing that Weston stopped talking, the head of the Greengrass family knew after a little thought that it was time for him to appear, and asked directly, "So, which one wants to participate, can you say it now, do you understand the rules?" β
The heads of the family all nodded, how could they not understand, this is what Weston said last time, it is okay to participate, provide resources, and not interfere in research, if the results are to be signed, they are not authored, but they can be used unconditionally, which is equivalent to sharing the results.
"I'll come first, join the Malfoy family!" Lucius was the first to vote.
"Count me in, the Goyle family." The head of the Goyle family glanced at Lucius and followed directly. Then he said that he was joined by the Crabbes, the Bulstrrodes, and the Filchs......
The gap between the pure-blood families seems to have been particularly evident at this moment......
