Chapter 38: The Great Gift
Seven is the most magical number, but seven is also the closest number to bad luck. Whether it is the legendary God Genesis, or Lucifer's opening of hell, or the number of hell monarchs, etc., it is all related to this number.
Weston's wedding was originally planned to be after Christmas, but he eventually followed Nicol's advice, after all, Nicoco is an accomplished astrologer. Although Weston didn't believe this, Fleur and the others believed in it, so they went with them, and the final wedding date was set for July 7th.
The wedding was held at St. Mungo's Hospital for Witchcraft and Wizardry in England after everyone had decided on it. This proposal was made by Fleur.
Weston had been against the location at first, and he didn't think it was pure to get married in the hospital. However, Fleur said in a heartfelt way that this is the place where they met, and at the same time, it is a place that represents death and new life, which is very meaningful.
Weston glanced at Fleur in surprise, then at the others, expecting someone to stop Fleur's stupid idea. To his surprise, the others all looked approving, and even Madame de la Cuer exclaimed, "Good idea!" ”。
Well, I knew that I couldn't count on the aesthetics of these wizards! Weston slapped his head, but unfortunately it was too late, everyone thought that Fleur was right, and he had to pinch his nose and admit it, even though he still felt weird.
On July 7th, the weather was a bit gloomy, and it was drizzling after a while, which was a bit unfriendly. Weston thought for a moment, shook his hand, and used magic to break up the entire rain cloud.
"You're getting stronger again, Weston!" A strange, bloated-looking bearded wizard laughed and said, listening to his tone, it was as if it was an acquaintance of Weston, and the people around him couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
"Just a little." Weston said nonchalantly, "I didn't expect you to be here with such a face. Logically speaking, you shouldn't be afraid of the Ministry of Magic? ”
"How can an elephant care what an ant thinks!" The wizard waved his hand casually, "It's just that it's annoying if you have more, I think you can understand this feeling." ”
"I'm sorry, but I don't think so." Weston shrugged, "And no one seems to be bothering me either!" ”
"I forgot, the whole of British wizarding is about to be controlled by you!" The wizard smiled self-deprecatingly, "You're so much better than I am!" ”
"You're not bad either!" Weston smiled, "Let's have time to talk about it again, it's not a good time to talk about it today." ”
"Look at me, I always talk about this when I see you, it's my fault." The wizard said apologetically, "I'd better go find Albus first." ”
"The professor is on the second floor, in the Longbottoms' hospital room, where Professor McGonagall and the others are." Weston smiled and nodded, letting the man leave on his own.
"I don't seem to have met this wizard, why does he always give me a sense of danger?" Lucius squinted his eyes as he watched the wizard's vanishing back, muttering to himself.
"You must know him, trust me!" Weston said with a smile.
"I know?" Lucius raised his eyebrows, then seemed to think of something, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "You mean, compound potion?" ”
"No, it's Transfiguration!" Weston shook his head, "According to his magical prowess, there is no need for such a thing as Polyjuice Potion. As you know, this potion is poisonous and can only be used by wizards who have not mastered the art of human transfiguration. ”
"Transfiguration?" Lucius looked at Weston in surprise, "I didn't know that there was such a master of transformation in England!" ”
"I didn't say he was British!" Weston said with a smile.
Seeing Lucius's thoughtful appearance, Weston stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't think about it, Uncle Lucius, the person who is good friends with Dumbledore is still a foreigner, Nicol you have seen it, there are not many answers, right?" ”
"You mean, he's ......" Lucius' eyes lit up, and he looked at Weston in disbelief, but he didn't say the name recklessly.
"Got it?" Weston asked with a smile.
Lucius nodded, looking incredulous: "You actually know him?" And he came to your wedding? ”
"It's not unusual, is it?" Weston shrugged, "Moreover, the construction of the guild in the United States was established on the basis of his influence, otherwise it would not have gone so smoothly!" I don't think Uncle Lucius can't find any of this! ”
"Sure enough, you're his heir!" Lucius's face instantly calmed down, and it was obvious that he had just pretended.
"Is it really heavy?" Weston asked rhetorically.
"It really doesn't matter!" Lucius smiled slightly, "As long as you can bring benefits to the family, even if you are the real Dark Lord, then what?" ”
"I'm not going to be the Dark Lord!" Weston smirked sarcastically, "Don't forget, if the Raven Claw Project can be carried out smoothly, then the entire wizarding world will be in our hands!" Is this kind of benefit enough? ”
"Of course, so, the seven of us have sent a big gift for your wedding!" A gleam flashed in Lucius's eyes, and he took out a piece of parchment from his arms, "This is a contract signed by the seven of us, as long as you write your name, the contract will officially take effect." ”
"Contract?" Weston looked at Lucius's smiling face, gently stretched out his hand, took the parchment, and looked at it carefully, his face was silent, but his heart was turbulent.
What a "great gift"! Weston was secretly speechless.
The content of this contract is very simple, there are few clauses or anything, and it can be summed up in one thing, under the premise of ensuring the interests of the Seven Families, the Seven Families will always be Weston's subsidiary families, whether the Weston family re-establishes the family or is still in the Delacour family.
However, it is also a good thing, at least in Weston's opinion, it is nothing against him.
"Can I know why?" Weston looked at Lucius and asked his doubts.
"Because of Muggles!" Lucius didn't hide it, and said very calmly, "If I can't keep up with you now, I'm afraid there won't be a place for us in the future." ”
Even though Weston had overestimated Lucius, he couldn't help but look at him deeply at the moment, this guy's eyes have always been so vicious.
Weston had told them that if Muggles were turned into wizards, pure-blood families would benefit greatly, and that was true. However, he didn't tell them that when Muggles did flood into the wizarding world, their status would not be as high as it used to be.
It seems that the Divine Seven should have seen this, so they made such a decision.
Weston looked at Lucius and secretly made a decision in his heart......
