Hogwarts: The Greatest Wizard - Chapter 309
c309 307 Consul Family
“Hermione, you and Luna are both Ravenclaws. Please greet each other. Ginny is in Gryffindor, which is their Weasley base. I’m not worried. Leah is here. Leitlin, nothing will happen because of me,”
“It’s just you two, and there’s not much we can do for you in Ravenclaw,”
Feeney said this to several little girls.
“Okay, I’ve told you everything I need to. The two of us are going to meet other people. You guys have a good time. Just call me if you need anything.”
Afterwards, Finney took Leah to visit the patriarchs or main members of other families.
Such activities originally required the patriarch to lead them together, but the Black family now only has Sirius, the acting patriarch, and before that, Feeney attended the Elders Council, so he took Leah to say hello to other families. He needs to do this himself.
The engagement banquet ended very quickly. After all, the purpose of this banquet was not only to announce the marriage of Blake and Greengrass, but also to serve as a social occasion for each family. It could not go on forever.
Fortunately, everyone in the family is not a fool. They all gave Fini face and did not cause any trouble at his engagement party.
Of course, it may also be because this person does not dare. After all, a lunatic who led many of his men to massacre several families just because his subordinates died, who dares to act recklessly on an occasion that he values if he is angered, just ignore it. What to do at the engagement party?
According to the information they received, this madman could fight Voldemort one-on-one, and they would definitely not be his opponents.
Some of the pure-blood family patriarchs were glad that Finny had estimated the dignity of both parties today and did not attack them directly.
These people are the patriarchs of the families who provoked Black. It was also the men they brought who were dealt with by Damon and the others.
And naturally they can’t escape,
When they walked out of the villa and came to the manor yard to prepare for Apparition, everyone found that a taboo was set up here, making it impossible to Apparate, and their men were also controlled.
“What are you doing! Phineas Black! Are you going to start a war with all the pure-blood families? Or are you planning to kill us all here!”
A fiery-tempered neutral pure-blood family leader shouted,
“of course not,”
Feeney walked out of the villa with a smile. At this time, he had changed his clothes. It was no longer the previous dress, but a dark wizard robe with no obvious patterns on it.
“I just want you to witness something.”
With that said, Feeney came in front of everyone, clapped his hands,
Damon immediately walked to his side, bent slightly and waited for Feeney’s instructions.
“Okay, Damon, let’s do it, don’t waste everyone’s time.”
Damon nodded, raised his right hand and waved,
Suddenly, many wizards rushed over from all around and rushed towards the pure-blood wizards who were participating in Feini’s engagement ceremony.
Seeing this, some wizards hurriedly took out their wands and tried to fight back.
Feeney spoke up and said,
“Don’t worry, just like Mr. Glass said, it’s impossible for me to start a war with other families, so you don’t have to be so alert. I’m just looking for a few of you, and they are all wizards in the British magical world.”
These words are already telling those wizards who have come from other countries that this matter is a matter within our jurisdiction of Black and has nothing to do with you. I will not take action against you, and you should not do anything blindly.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Glass, the hot-tempered wizard from France, was the first to put down the wand in his hand.
At this time, there were still four figures standing at the study window on the second floor of the villa.
They were Sirius and the patriarchs of the Selwyn, Ridge, and Lestrange families. The four of them stood there and watched Feeney’s actions in the yard below.
“Forgive me, but my brother planned to clean up some rats from the British wizarding world at his engagement party, which made the three of them laugh.”
Although the four consul families are divided into two factions, they all have to come to this heir engagement ceremony, which not only represents the attitude of their respective families, but also the attitude of the Presbyterian Church.
At this time, the patriarch of the Selwyn family didn’t care at all about Finny’s actions. Instead, he came to Sirius and said,
“By the way, Sirius, let’s not talk about Phineas being engaged, but you are not engaged. Do you want to consider our Selwyn girl?”
When Sirius heard this, a black line appeared on his head,
“No, Elrond, do your Selwyn family really want to marry us Black? You are also a consul family after all, and you are stronger than the current Black in terms of strength, power, and size. What’s this? Why bother?”
The patriarch of the Selwyn family, Elrond in Sirius’ mouth, said with a smile,
“Actually, I don’t want to marry Black. It’s mainly about my granddaughters. If they don’t marry Black, they will be married to other families for marriage. Compared to other families, I trust Black more. After all, , it’s not just a matter of a day or two that my team is better than you,”
Sirius sighed slightly, and just when he was about to speak, the Rich family on the side spoke first,
“Elrond, you are a bit embarrassed by the Selwyn family. After all, it is a family with the same status as our Rich family. How come you have such an embarrassing patriarch?”
Elrond smiled bitterly,
“Kuzan, our Selwyn family is different from your Rich family. You are the patriarch who manages the family. The elders directly retreat and only accept offerings from the family. They will not participate in the specific management and decision-making of the family. This is not the case for us. ”
“Although I hold the position of the patriarch of the Selwyn family, I actually have no power at all. Instead, I am more of a nominal symbol. The family affairs have been controlled by the elders for many years,”
Lestrange sighed and glanced at Elrond with some sympathy, because his family was the same as Selwyn, and he was only a nominal leader. In fact, it was the elders of the family who were in charge.
Kuzan Rich waved his hand, looked into Sirius’s eyes, and asked,
“Sirius Black, what is your brother Phineas Black doing? To demonstrate to us?”
Sirius frowned and sighed secretly in his heart. Feeney’s judgment was really correct. It seems that the Rich patriarch named Kuzan still wants to save the British families who have taken refuge with him.
It’s a pity that the British family is nominally a subordinate family of Black. Over the years, due to Voldemort and the previous generation of Black, it has become what it is today.
However, now that Feeney wants to deal with them, the Rich family really has no way to intervene, saying that those are his affiliated families. After all, the reason why the Consul Family was established in the first place was to divide the scope of these pure-blood families.
Sirius smiled and said,
“I am a free and easy person and don’t like to manage family affairs, so Fini is in charge of it most of the time now, that is, he is not yet an adult, otherwise I would have handed over the position of patriarch to him, so now he If you are willing to clean up the affairs within the UK, then let him do it. Anyway, these are matters within Blake’s territory and will not offend anyone.”
Kuzan Rich’s face turned ugly all of a sudden. Sirius’s words were simply telling him that I don’t care, so don’t think about putting pressure on me to rescue those families.
In addition, Britain is Black’s territory. We deal with the disobedient families on our territory and it has nothing to do with you Rich. If you insist on interfering, then give us a reason.
Could Richie tell them directly that the families you want to clean up have all defected to us, so you can’t take action?
If he dared to say this, riots would break out in the German magical community the next day. Do you really think that the other families have no thoughts about Germany?
It’s just that they didn’t find a reason to invade openly, so they could only win over each other behind the scenes, just like Richie did before. But if Richie made this matter clear, then the so-called division of power would become a joke.
On the other side, Feeney had already had the members of the pure academic family who had taken refuge with Rich and Lestrange pulled out from the crowd attending his engagement party and taken aside.
“Okay, everyone has cooperated for your hard work. To express our apologies and thanks, we have prepared exquisite food in the villa. You can try it when you go back.”
Although I say so, who dares to go back in this situation? If Feeney does something like this when he comes out, who knows whether he will be taken away next time.
So everyone came up with the idea of leaving, but Feeney didn’t stop them and just watched them leave.
Then he slashed at Damon aside and asked,
“Have all the affairs of those families been settled?”
Damon nodded,
“With the exception of the Ministry of Magic, we have eliminated all wizarding families in the UK who tried to betray Black,”
Hearing this, Feeney raised the corners of his mouth and showed a very satisfied smile.
“Very good. After this time, the British wizarding world will once again return to what it was like a hundred years ago when it was ruled by us Black. Well, in Muggle terms, what is it? Oh, by the way, it’s all uniform!”
After saying that, Feeney returned to the villa with a smile. As for the wizards who were arrested, Damon and the others would naturally handle them very cleanly.
Unlike Lisa, Damon may not be as good as her in management matters, but he can always handle things that are related to combat or that are easy to get dirty.
“Elrond, Kuzan, Corvos, long time no see,”
Feeney came to the study and greeted the patriarchs of the other three families with a smile.
Elrond also smiled and hugged Finney,
“The last time we met was at the Council of the Presbyterian Church.”
Cobos also hugged Feeney and said with praise,
“Fini, your actions now are even more fierce than the last time we met.”
Kuzan did not hug Feeney, he just sneered and said hello to Feeney with an ugly expression.
“Tell me, what’s the purpose of keeping us here? Just to watch you make such a farce?”
Feeney shook his head.
“Of course not. Do you know that the Presbyterian Church may hold a parliament recently?”
Richie frowned and nodded.
Corvos Lestrange, or Corvos VI, also nodded,
“I heard about it, but I don’t know exactly what it is. Maybe the elders of our family will know.”
Elrond nodded in agreement,
“So, does this have anything to do with you looking for us, Feeney?”
While the four of them were talking, Sirius had already left the study.
Although he is now the leader of the Black clan, matters related to the Presbyterian Church are still handled by Feeney, and he does not want to get involved in this matter.
Feeney said,
“I don’t know exactly what it is. After all, my sources are not as clear as yours.”
Richie frowned and asked,
“Then why are you looking for us? You can’t tell us that you want to find out what is going on through us, right? That’s a joke, Phineas Black, you wouldn’t do such a stupid thing, would you? ?”
Feeney shook his head and said,
“Of course not, do you think I’m going to look down on you like that? Okay, let’s get down to business. You guys know that the Presbyterian Council has always wanted a balance between the four of us, right?”
“certainly.”
“nature.”
“I am very sure of that,”
The three people responded,
Feeney continued,
“But have you ever thought about the real reason? You know, there was no big conflict between us originally,”
“If you really want to say that Elrond’s grandson was bullied too harshly by Kuzan’s nephew in Skull, it would be a big contradiction to fight back and kill him,”
Kuzan curled his lips and said disdainfully,
“Well done. That boy is lawless in the family. He didn’t even give me face, and he even tried to misbehave with my daughter. He is the only talented man in our group who is protected by the elders. , otherwise I would have taken action long ago,”
The other three nodded. They all knew that this was not a big conflict at all. A man with good talent was a big deal to other families, but to them, it was definitely not a big deal, even Some people in the other party’s family will also become friends with you because of this incident.
Of course, except for Black, the only direct descendants of their family are Finny and Sirius.
Feeney continued,
“As for us, Black, and Lestrange, we have no contact at all. They are hostile purely because of the requirements of those elders.”
Cobos nodded. To be honest, he really didn’t want to be hostile to other families. Maybe it was because he was French. He preferred to be friends with other people, and he didn’t care about the management of the French magic world. ,
