Chapter 567

"Remus, why did you tell Malfoy the whereabouts of that woman? Have you forgotten that bastard?"

In black's old house, Sirius yelled angrily at lupin. He waved his arm to vent his dissatisfaction.

Lupin certainly did not forget that Lucius, who was several years older than Sirius and Harry's father James, was already a sixth grader when he entered Hogwarts with Sirius and Harry's father James. Naturally, that guy studied at Slytherin college and was annoying when he was a student.

At that time, Snape was on the list of Lucius and provoked them with the support of a senior prefect two years ago. Only then did they make the Gryffindor trio always play with Snape. Not to mention the latter, Snape had a great time at Hogwarts, at least in grade one and grade two.

Lucius's run on Gryffindor college, lupin and Sirius, are well remembered.

"Sirius, sit down first - sit down!"

Lupin knew Sirius was a violent temper, and because he had been squatting in Azkaban for so many years, his temper became more and more strong. So lupin didn't care about it.

"Narcissa is your cousin after all, isn't she?" he smiled after forcing Sirius into the armchair, "Although you don't like her - yes, I don't like it either. Her eyes look like flies, and she always smiles at Malfoy. But she is your cousin anyway. This relationship is doomed in your life and can't be broken if you want to."

"Who says it can't be broken?" Sirius frowned. "Look at the genealogy on the wall. Can you find my face? Hey! I've been burned by my good mother -"

"All right, all right, what you said is the most reasonable, all right?" lupin reluctantly waved his hand and didn't mention how Sirius tangled when he heard the news of Narcissa. He just said casually, "in fact, I didn't do that entirely because of you. Don't take it too seriously!"

"Then who else can you do it for?" Sirius said angrily. "Is there anyone here who is related to that woman except me?"

"No one will do it." lupin spread out his arms and said lightly, "I just think it's good for our order of the Phoenix, okay?"

When Sirius heard this, he looked at lupin suspiciously.

He knew that lupin was never the kind of person who didn't aim at anything. Since lupin did so, there must be a reason. If it wasn't for him, Sirius Black, what was it?

"What do you mean?"

When lupin pretended to be plain, Sirius became a little serious. The partners of the whole life knew each other's character. If lupin deliberately acted relaxed and natural, what he would say next would not be easy.

Sure enough, Lupin's face suddenly changed after shrugging his shoulders.

"This time Voldemort failed again, and died at Hogwarts on the spot, which is a happy ending," he said. "But for those pure blood families, this may not be a good trend - I think you can understand this more."

"Well, of course," Sirius sneered contemptuously. "Those pretentious guys always feel that they are higher than Wizards of mixed race and Muggle origin. They are always thinking about restoring the past 'family Glory'."

As he spoke, he put a quotation mark on the word "family glory" to show his disdain. Lupin agreed with him and nodded.

"Therefore, as pure blood, they will not give up their secret activities because of the disappearance of Voldemort." he continued to explain, "in my judgment, those pure blood families had begun to move in the dark when the Death Eater escaped from prison."

"Is that possible?" Sirius frowned. "Although I hate those guys, we must at least admit that the family that can restrain Voldemort when he is in power has at least some brains. Now it is the time when Hogwarts is gaining momentum. Will they take this opportunity?"

"How impossible?" lupin asked back, shaking his head, "As you said, Hogwarts is now gaining momentum, but that's why they must find a way to lay a good foundation before it has fully established its foothold. Those guys are smart! They know that once McLean and Ms. McGonagall have completely consolidated Hogwarts's reputation, the pure blood family may have no future."

Lupin's words are very reasonable. At least Sirius has tasted the taste.

Lupin and Sirius knew about Maka's trip to busbarton. They also understood that Maka's participation in Nicole LeMay's legacy was to give Hogwarts a chance to stand on the top of the mountain. If he really took the world-class gold smelting competition to Hogwarts, Hogwarts would have a solid foot in the future.

At that time, Hogwarts's next step, of course, is to vigorously recruit students.

It is conceivable that both Muggle born and hybrid will be the object of Hogwarts' training. The so-called quantitative change leads to qualitative change. When generations of students overlap, Hogwarts will certainly cultivate more excellent wizards and make the school more and more profound.

Therefore, the most affected will naturally be those pure blood families.

"Hum, it seems that they are afraid." Sirius hummed and laughed.

"I'm not afraid now," said lupin. "Those families have a good foundation. In addition to their false name, don't forget that they also control many industries in the magic world. Those are the source of their confidence."

Whether in the Muggle world or the magic world, economy is often the basis of major forces. Compared with those family businesses, Hogwarts is only a school, and it is still a non-profit one.

Of course, if it hadn't been a school that didn't charge any tuition fees, Maka might not have been able to get in at that time!

You know, Hogwarts can be regarded as the top first-class Magic School in the global magic world. There is only one in Britain, and the magic schools in Europe can count with both hands. Compared with the status of Oxford and Cambridge in the Muggle world, Hogwarts is obviously better known in the magic world. It's no problem how expensive it is to really collect the fees.

In fact, long ago, both busbarton and demstrom established the tuition system. It was only because Hogwarts made non-profit regulations that two other magic schools in Europe were forced to abolish the tuition system one after another. No way, if we continue to maintain the charge, the students will be robbed by Hogwarts!

But in this way, the school will inevitably be controlled by others economically. Although it is nominally free sponsorship, the composition of the school board, which was originally held in the hands of the descendants of the four founders, has gradually flowed into the hands of the "rich" in the change of years.

Ironically, those people belong to the pure blood wizard family.

Therefore, although the school board mainly composed of pure blood wizard families can not directly interfere with the development of the school and the disposal of school affairs, there are still some effects. Just like the appointment and dismissal of the president, as long as three-quarters of the members agree, the incumbent president can be revoked.

It's complicated over the years. It's really not clear for a while.

The Black family, where Sirius is located, was once one of the 12 members of the board of directors of Hogwarts. However, the decline of his family made this position occupied by other new donors. Dumbledore, who has been in office for many years, has also attracted several new sponsors with his personal charm, which is not to mention for the time being.

In short, if Hogwarts wants to be truly independent in the future, it will inevitably have friction with the pure blood wizard families that support the operation of the school, which is obviously a very contradictory trend. But once Hogwarts solves the economic problem, the contradiction will no longer exist.

This is exactly what those pure blood families are worried about.

Lupin told Sirius all he thought these days. He believed that with Sirius's mind, he must be able to understand the subtleties. Although Sirius doesn't like to use his brain on weekdays, it's not because he's too stupid. He just prefers to solve problems by strength.

Sure enough, Sirius only thought for a moment after hearing it, and then nodded. Although he didn't speak, he had a partial understanding of Lupin's previous behavior.

The reason why lupin informed Lucius Malfoy of Narcissa was to make Hogwarts less a member of the school board who made small moves secretly in the near future.

When Dumbledore was still there, he did the same in most cases.

"The Malfoy family is in a bad situation now, but after all, their family still has enough inside information and won't fall down so easily." lupin finally concluded, "it's good for Hogwarts and the order of the Phoenix to give them some help in their most difficult time, isn't it?"

When lupin said these words, Sirius looked a little disapproval.

"Do you really think that Malfoy guy will remember this good job?"

But lupin smiled and said meaningfully, "if that's the case, of course he won't remember... Well, maybe he'll forget 'accidentally' sometime. But his memory is not good, can't we help him improve his memory?"
