duel day at hogwarts

Chapter 35 Elimination

Of the twenty-eight pure-blood families, half of them have declined. Even the Gaunt family, the direct descendant of Slytherin, has completely declined. However, among the twenty-eight families, there are always a few that have remained prosperous, and among them is Uncle

The Sid family.

Although the Busted family used to be relatively low-key in the past, Lucius would not really think that the Busted family's low profile meant that they were weak and could be bullied unless their brains were fucked by the house elves.

In fact, compared to the Bosted family, the Malfoy family where Lucius belongs is really in crisis of decline. Their bloodline seems to be cursed. For more than a century, each generation has been a single generation, and each generation has been passed down.

Not all of them are elites, which makes the Malfoy family gradually become weaker through generations of consumption.

By Lucius's generation, the Malfoy family no longer actually has such strong financial resources. It's just that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The weak Malfoy is still rich, but when it comes to Voldemort, Lucius did something

Wrong decision, half of the family property was lost with the defeat of Voldemort. Today, the Malfoy family has begun to secretly sell off the family's stored magic items to maintain the operation of the huge family.

On the other hand, the Bosid family can be considered prosperous in each generation, and the family is quite strict in cultivating their descendants. The heirs of the family born in this way, even if they are not very talented, can still maintain their status until the next generation appears.

Heirs with good talents can continue to expand the family.

For such a family, the Malfoys must never be offended.

In a flash of thought, Lucius had already chosen to retreat in his heart, but he still maintained that proud look on the surface. He looked at Gavin and said: "Draco is the heir of our family, and his life must

It's honor and pride. I don't have to pursue the issue of the Bosted family, but you must also cancel the consequences of pure-blood duels."

Gavin looked at Lucius. In his opinion, although this generation of Malfoy is not an elite and has mediocre talents in many aspects, he has performed well in terms of gains and losses. If he was not an investor

His vision is too bad, and he was deeply tied to Voldemort before. Even if the Malfoy family cannot expand again, there should be no big problem in maintaining its status.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Gavin has no intention of confronting the Malfoy family head-on. Their family's relationship with the Ministry of Magic is deeply rooted. Although it is no longer as good as its peak, it would be quite troublesome if he bites his own family hard.

There is no need to push Malfoy too hard.

"It's just a fight between two children. Although it goes a little too far, the essence has not changed. Mr. Malfoy is unwilling to pursue it. I owe you a favor and thank Mr. Malfoy for his generosity."

Gavin's words were very beautiful, and Lucius's face finally looked better.

With a slight nod, Lucius nodded with Dumbledore, said goodbye to Snape, and then turned and left the principal's office and Hogwarts.

Looking at Lucius leaving, Gavin turned to Dumbledore and said: "Dumbledore, if you have nothing to do, I will leave too. I am too old to stay up late."

"Gavin, don't you want to go see Sean and Millicent?"

Smiling and shaking his head, Gavin said: "These two little guys don't want to see me, so let them stay at school by themselves. If you want to see them, just wait until the holidays."

After getting up and leaving, Gavin walked out of the principal's office. After leaving the scope of Hogwarts, he used Apparition to disappear without a trace.

Feeling Gavin's departure, Dumbledore waved his hand and removed the cup on the table, and then said to Snape: "Severus, are you all ready to defend the Philosopher's Stone?"

"Already prepared."

"The person who wants to steal the Sorcerer's Stone will not give up easily, so we still have to stay vigilant..." Having said this, Dumbledore's eyes behind his half-moon glasses looked at Snape and said, "Severe

Sis, how's Harry doing lately?"

It was always difficult for Snape to disguise himself in front of Dumbledore. He looked at Dumbledore and said, "Like his father, he is a disgusting boy."

"Severus, you have to be patient with this child. He is not only James's son, but also Lily's son. I think you know this, right?"

Hearing that familiar name spoken from Dumbledore's mouth, Snape's heart surged slightly, and there was a look of pain in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

Without another word, Snape turned around and prepared to leave.

But at this moment, Dumbledore said to Snape again: "Severus, Mr. Sean Burst seems to be very valued by you, and his relationship with Harry seems to be very good, so

I hope you can lead him on the right path as much as possible."

After hearing this, Snape turned to look at Dumbledore and asked with a hint of ridicule: "So you think this child is going astray now? Because he is a little close to the great savior, so he will be introduced into the so-called

The right path?"

Dumbledore was not displeased at all by Snape's sarcasm. He remained kind and gentle and said to Snape: "Severus, you know, I didn't mean that.

I just think that he is a very talented child and I hope you can teach him well, that's all."

Eyelids drooping slightly, Snape turned around and no longer looked at Dumbledore. He went straight to the door of the principal's office and stretched out his hand to open the door. However, Snape did not go out immediately, but stood there with his back to

Looking at Dumbledore, he said: "Don't worry, I have introduced him to my Potions Club. He is a child with great talent for potions. I will let him embark on the bright road of potions and will not waste it."

His talent."

After the words fell, Snape turned and left.

Dumbledore looked at Snape's leaving figure, smiled softly, took out a pile of cockroach candy from the desk drawer, stuffed it into his mouth and tasted it quietly.

The duel between Sean and Malfoy was settled.

Snape talked to Malfoy and Sean successively. The result was that both of them pretended that the previous incident had never happened. Of course, it was only on the surface. At least every time Malfoy saw Sean, he had the same look on his face.

The anger and the faintest hint of fear cannot be faked.

A few days later, the news about Lucius Malfoy and Gavin Bursted's visit to Hogwarts spread in Slytherin. It was from that time that Sean's status in Slytherin began to decline.

Rising, probably on par with Malfoy, and even vaguely surpassing Millicent, he became the person representing the Burst family.
