Before leaving the principal's office, Ash suddenly asked:

"Mr. Dumbledore, do you like candy?"

Dumbledore didn't know what he was asking for, but he replied seriously, "Oh yes, my favorite is Duke Candy's Butter Bee Candy, it tastes amazing." ”

"No wonder you use it as a password." Ash was thoughtful.

Dumbledore smiled and said:

"The office password changes every year, after all, there is more than one delicious candy in this world, is it?"

Ash sighed softly:

"You and Headmaster Black are completely different."

"Oh?" Dumbledore was curious.

Ash said calmly, "The password set by Headmaster Black is the motto of the Black family. ”

Dumbledore whispered:

"Toujours Pur."

Like the Malfoy and Lestrange families, the Black family is one of the largest, oldest and richest pure-blood wizarding families in the United Kingdom, and one of the twenty-eight holy families.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Black family is synonymous with status and wealth.

Because of this, the Black family attaches great importance to the bloodline component and has always claimed to be the royal family of the wizarding world.

But perhaps it is precisely because of the Black family's motto of 'eternal purity' that this ancient family has fallen into the current situation.

In one of the frames in the principal's office, Phineas Black had an extremely complicated expression, and he whispered:

"Ash, even though you're now in Ravenclaw, I'd like you to return to the Black family at the end of this semester."

Ash frowned and mocked:

"What are you going back for? Is it ridiculed? ”

Phineas Black smiled wryly:

"No one will taunt you, the Black family has ......"

Dumbledore beckoned Ash to sit down with a kind smile and said softly:

"In fact, Mr. Ash Black, you are now the sole heir of the Black family."

Dumbledore tried to soothe Ash as gently as possible, so that his mood would not fluctuate too much.

Because he knew that although Ash Black had always been gentle and humble, it was only when he faced the members of the Black family that he had difficulty controlling his emotions - these were what Phineas Black had told Dumbledore personally.

Ash's mother, Yora Black, was Phineas Black's sister, but was removed from the family for marrying a Muggle. Shortly after giving birth to Ash, the couple both died in a plague, leaving young Ash Black to be sent to an orphanage.

This continued until Ash was fifteen years old, when Professor Figo took him to Hogwarts, and Ash was first introduced to the world of magic, with the Black family blood in his veins.

During this time, Phineas Black always hoped that the family would accept Ash Black and accept his sister's only child. He even arranged a family dinner for this purpose in an attempt to welcome Ash's return.

However, things did not turn out as he expected, and Ash was not welcomed by the family members, all he received was the taunts of the pure-blood family for a half-blood, believing that Ash was a stain on the family's bloodline, and some people even assassinated Ash several times in an attempt to cover up the family's 'stain'.

Under this premise, it is not difficult to imagine Ash's attitude towards the Black family.

This is also the reason why Dumbledore did not send Ash back to House Black in the first place, but to House Weasley.

Dumbledore didn't want to talk to Ash about it so quickly, and in his plan it was supposed to be a topic that would be brought up in a step-by-step manner at the end of the semester.

But now that I mentioned it unexpectedly, I can't hide it if I want to. In that case, it is better for him to find out.

In the face of Dumbledore's mild attitude, Ash looked a little dark, but still frowned and asked:

"What do you mean by the sole heir of the Black family?"

Dumbledore spoke slowly:

"Meaning, the bloodline of the Black family has almost been severed. The current head of the Black family is Signus Black III, the great-grandson of Headmaster Phineas. ”

Seeing Dumbledore pause, Ash asked suspiciously:

"And then?"

"No then."

Dumbledore's expression became serious, "That's the problem, Signus Black is already the only male member of the Black family!" ”

Phineas Black was noncommittal and silent.

In fact, there is another one, but he has been removed from the family and is still imprisoned in Azkaban, not to mention it.

Ash frowned and asked:

"The only one? He doesn't have a son? ”

Dumbledore shook his head and said:

He had three daughters, one of whom was Miss Kassandra's mother. But unfortunately, he has no son. ”

"And at his current age, it is basically impossible to give birth to offspring."

"So!"

He paused and said solemnly, "Mr. Ash Black, you are now the only heir of the Black family!" ”

Dumbledore stared at Ash closely, observing his expression.

Suddenly hearing that he was the only heir to the oldest and richest pure-blood family in the world, if it were an ordinary person, he would probably have fainted with excitement, but Ash had a very cold attitude towards this, and seemed to disdain it.

Dumbledore stared into Ash's eyes, and he couldn't even see any joy in them, only disgust.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Dumbledore. I think you're mistaken, I'm just a half-blood. ”

Phineas Black whispered:

"But anyway, your name is now recorded on the family tree of the Black family."

There was a hint of pleading in the old man's voice:

"You're the only one who can save the family!"

Dumbledore also spoke:

"Actually, it's not necessarily a bad thing for you."

"The Black family has always been on the wrong path, and you should be aware of that. But if you can become the head of the Black family, maybe you have a chance to steer the family in the right direction. ”

Faced with the temptation given by Dumbledore, Ash's reaction was still flat:

"I'll think about it."

Ash didn't look at Phineas's expression again, just dropped a faint sentence and turned to leave.

Leaving the principal's office, Ash returned to the hallway, still looking calm.

has been acting for so long, not missing this moment, and it should not be wasted because of a momentary negligence.

"Old fox."

Ash felt a little emotional, but if he didn't bring the topic to the Black family today, Dumbledore would definitely continue to hide it from him.

And the reason why he wanted to bring this matter out is not to hide it, he is greedy for the wealth of the Black family - as a pure-blood family that has been inherited for thousands of years, the wealth accumulated by the Black family is absolutely beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and this is exactly what Ash lacks.

As for reviving the Black family, Ash is not interested, and there is nothing he can do.

It's not that Ash's reproductive function is challenged, but that he, as a genuine Meiwa, inherits Meiwa's powerful charm while also inheriting Meiwa's characteristics in fertility - for example, Meiwa's physique is passed on to women but not to men.

This means that Ash's descendants will only be daughters who inherit Meiwa's bloodline, and there will be no sons.

It is better to count on him to revitalize the Black family than to count on Sirius.

And the reason why Ash left in a hurry was not because of shame, but mainly because he preferred to stay with young and beautiful witches than these bad old men.

For example, Cho Chang, and Hallie and Kassandra.
