Harry Potter and the Temple of Tales

"Five thousand gold galleons!"

A loud voice appeared from the right side of the stand, suppressing the momentum of the initially tentative bidding.

"Five thousand gold galleons? That's so much all at once?" Louis was a little confused. Almost no one knew about a brand new potion. Who could be so generous and spend five thousand gold galleons all at once?

"What do you think?"

"Can't it be? The one who bought the Fountain of Life last time, right?"

Dumbledore smiled and did not answer, but there was already a bustling discussion in the stands.

"Is it Driscana? I wonder if it had any effect after he bought the Fountain of Life last time."

"Idiot, his reaction must be very effective."

"That's not necessarily true, just in case it's the auction agent."

"Who dares to be the trustee of Cliona's auction and risk his life?"

The patriarchs of the wizard family were discussing the matter very enthusiastically, but none of them seemed to have raised the price.

"Ten magic coins once, ten magic coins twice, ten magic coins three times!"

"Ten...eleven magic coins." An uncertain voice tried.

"Seven thousand five gold galleons is (fifteen magic coins)!" Driscana decisively called out the price again, as if he didn't care.

"Sixteen magic coins."

"You guys are really..." Driscana pressed the machine decisively, "Ten thousand gold galleons (twenty magic coins)!"

Ten thousand gold galleons? Another ten thousand gold galleons? This is the second time that a ten thousand gold galleons auction has appeared.

This year's auction indeed gave the guild a big surprise, but according to Master Gandalf's estimation, this bottle of potion seems to cost more than this.

Milia never showed much expression. No matter how much money Driscana paid, her eyes were always fixed on the private room on the second floor.

In those families with extremely deep family backgrounds, no one seems to have any intention of taking action.

"Ten thousand gold galleons, I'm afraid this value is not enough." Dumbledore also aimed his sights at several surrounding private rooms.

"They won't take action, right?" Louis asked uncertainly.

"No, definitely." Dumbledore paused, "It's just that they are waiting."

"Waiting for which clan leader can't help but take action first." Old Dengtou said calmly, as if watching a play, "It seems that the family that takes action first will have the upper hand, but in fact, in the auction, the latecomers have a greater advantage.

"

"Twenty magic coins three times!"

Milia's final hammer seemed to be deliberately delayed by half a beat, but at the moment she was about to knock it down, the red light came on in the private room on the second floor.

Louis saw that in the room next to Lucius Malfoy, his price was clearly written on the magic display:

Twenty-five magic coins!

The wizard family in the private room spent a lot of money, and directly spent five magic coins.

"It's the Crabbe family. They are quite impatient people. Maybe even Lucius didn't expect it."

After listening to Dumbledore's words, Louis could probably guess what he meant. One of Draco Malfoy's two followers was named Crabbe. Therefore, the Crabbe family should have a very good relationship with the Malfoy family. But compared to the overall strength

Generally speaking, Crabbe is still lower than Malfoy.

"Damn it, Bruce." Lucius cursed secretly. The moment he took out the magic wolf potion, he knew where it came from. Naturally, the higher the price of the potion, the more unhappy he became.

Originally, he was praying that no wizard in this private room would be interested in this, and he would just make the final decision, but who would have thought that it was the silly Crabbe next to him who muddied the waters and raised the price again.

Of course, he didn't think Crabbe could snatch the potion away.

Not long after the price of the twenty-five magic coins fell, three families suddenly entered the competition. Louis discovered that Mr. Greengrass, who had just been fighting with him, was also among them.

Naturally, the Crabbe family's funds could not compete with the three established wizarding families. When the price soared to thirty magic coins, two wizarding families voluntarily withdrew from the competition.

"Osnet, please don't argue with me. I know where your bottom line is." On the language channel opened by magic in the private room, Mr. Greengrass frowned. He heard this voice.

He seemed to hesitate for a long time.

This language channel did not include Private Room 1 because Dumbledore did not come often before.

"Forty magic coins!"

In the No. 2 private room opposite Dumbledore, a red light suddenly turned on, and the eye-catching "forty" was reflected on the magic screen. This domineering operation immediately silenced everyone.

Mr. Greengrass silently put down his hand and sighed helplessly. He believed that his family had enough say in the wizarding world, but even with all the wealth of his family, it might not be as good as standing in the wizarding world.

Half of the one at the top of the family.

Now that he was at his peak, it seemed that no one except Dumbledore could restrain him.

"It's over, no one will bid anymore."

Just as Dumbledore said, the whole place was silent for half a minute. When Miria made the final decision, everyone calmed down.

"Congratulations to VIP No. 2 for winning this magic wolf potion at a price of forty magic coins."

Louis was still in a trance at this moment. He never expected that this magic wolf potion could be sold for 20,000 gold galleons!

As for this mysterious second guest, Lewis had heard Dumbledore say before that they were none other than the Lestrange family.

"How does this Lestrange family have such a background?" Louis couldn't believe it, because the original book mentioned very little about this family.

"Lestrange belongs to one of the oldest wizarding families, as famous as Sirius's Black family." Dumbledore slowly explained to Louis, "Of course, the old pure-blood families will have the concept of bloodline.

It’s important to note that Lestrange was almost obsessed with bloodline, so when Voldemort rose, the Lestrange family was the first group of people to support Voldemort.”

"But Voldemort has fallen, won't they be affected?"

"It's not that simple, Louis. The decline of many wizarding families is due to pure-blood blind dates, but Lestrange is the only family that thrives on pure-blood blind dates. Their industries are spread throughout the United Kingdom, although their orthodox heirs

Rodolphus Lestrange and his wife Bellatrix were both imprisoned in Azkaban, but the entire family did not suffer any blow due to their strong control."

"That's awesome, but in such a big family, not everyone supports Voldemort and is a Death Eater, right?" Louis asked, trying to extract some of Dumbledore's words to find the answer he wanted.

Perhaps Dumbledore should know something about that incident thirteen years ago.

"Yes, there are always a few kind-hearted people."

"Professor, do you know them?"

Dumbledore glanced at Lewis, but did not have much communication on this topic.

"I will talk to you about this issue later. Now I think we have come to the main topic."

Damn it, Louis had forgotten about Dumbledore's powerful Legilimency. Maybe he should know something now. No, he had to learn Occlumency quickly, otherwise there would be no secrets for Dumbledore.

Just as he was thinking this, Louis looked down. What Milia was holding in her hand was the final lot of this auction, the boundary stone of Gunter's old house.
