The day of the duel at Hogwarts

Chapter 35
Of the twenty-eight pure-blood families, half of them have already declined. Even the Gaunt family, which is the direct descendant of Slytherin, has completely declined. Steed family.

Although the Bulstrode family was relatively low-key in the past, unless Lucius' brains were shitted by a house elf, he wouldn't really think that the low profile of the Borstead family was weak and deceptive.

In fact, compared to the Berster family, the Malfoy family that Lucius belongs to is really facing a crisis of decline. Their bloodlines seem to be cursed. For more than a century, each generation has been a single pass. Not all of them are elites, which makes the Malfoy family gradually weakened through the consumption of generations.

In Lucius's generation, the Malfoy family actually no longer has such strong financial resources. It's just that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the weak Malfoy is still rich, but on the matter of Voldemort, Lucius made a decision. Wrong decision, half of the family property was lost with Voldemort's downfall, and now the Malfoy family has begun to secretly sell the magic items stored by the family to maintain the operation of the huge family.

On the other hand, the Borsid family, each generation can be regarded as a thriving population, and the family's cultivation of younger generations is quite strict. Even if the heirs of the family are not very talented, they can still be conservative until the next generation appears. Talented heirs will continue to expand the family.

For such a family, the Malfoy family must not offend.

In a flash of thought, Lucius had already chosen to step back, 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 be It is honor and pride, I don’t need to pursue the issue of the Burst family, but you must also cancel the consequences of the pure-blood duel.”

Gavin looked at Lucius. In his opinion, although Malfoy of this generation is not considered an elite and has mediocre talents in many aspects, he has performed well in terms of gains and losses. If he is not an investor His foresight is too poor, and he was deeply tied to Voldemort before, so even if the Malfoy family can't expand again, there should be no big problem in keeping it.

The skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and Gavin has no intention of confronting the Malfoy family head-on. Their family's relationship with the Ministry of Magic is deep-rooted. Although they are no longer comparable to the top performers, it would be quite troublesome if they bit their own family hard. There's no need to push Malfoy too hard.

"It is a squabble between two children. Although it is a bit too much, its essence has not changed. Mr. Malfoy is not willing to pursue it. I owe you a favor. Thank you Mr. Malfoy for your generosity."

Gavin's words were beautiful, and Lucius' complexion finally became better.

After nodding slightly, Lucius nodded with Dumbledore and said goodbye to Snape before turning around and leaving the headmaster's office and Hogwarts.

Looking at Lucius who left, Gavin turned his head and said to Dumbledore: "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 and see Sean and Millicent?"

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

After getting up to leave, Gavin walked out of the principal's room, and after leaving the range of Hogwarts, he cast Apparation and disappeared without a trace.

Sensing Gavin's departure, Dumbledore waved away the cup on the table, and said to Snape, "Severus, are you all ready for the defense of the Sorcerer's Stone?"

"Already prepared."

"The person who wants to steal the Sorcerer's Stone will definitely not give up easily, so we still have to be vigilant..." Having said that, Dumbledore looked at Snape with his eyes behind his half-moon glasses, and said, "Severer Hey, how's Harry doing?"

In front of Dumbledore, Snape was always difficult to disguise. He looked at Dumbledore and said, "Just like his father, he is a disgusting kid."

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

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

Without further words, Snape turned around and was about to leave.

But at this time, Dumbledore said to Snape again: "Severus, that Mr. Sean Burst seems to be very valued by you, and he seems to have a good relationship with Harry, so I hope you can lead him into the right path as much as possible."

Hearing this, Snape turned to look at Dumbledore, and asked slightly mockingly: "So you think this kid 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 at all displeased by Snape's sarcasm, he still had that kind and gentle look, and said to Snape: "Severus, you know, I didn't mean that, I just think that is a very talented kid, I hope you can teach him well, that's all."

Eyelids drooping slightly, Snape turned around, no longer looking at Dumbledore, he went straight to the door of the headmaster's office, and stretched out his hand to open the door, but Snape didn't 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 a great talent for potions. I will let him walk on the broad road of potions, and he will not be wasted." His talent."

After the words fell, Snape turned and left.

Dumbledore watched Snape's leaving back, smiled softly, squeezed 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 ended in this way.

Snape had a conversation with Malfoy and Sean successively, and the result was that both of them acted as if the previous incident had never happened. Of course, it was only on the surface. There's nothing fake about anger and a hint of veiled fear.

A few days later, the news that Lucius Malfoy and Gavin Burst had visited Hogwarts spread in Slytherin, and it was from that time that Sean's status in Slytherin was straight-lined. Ascension, about the same as Malfoy, even faintly surpassed Millicent, and became the person representing the Burst family.
