Chapter 117 Black Panther Bows His Head
The first week of school is over.The little wizards ushered in their first Saturday.
In the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.
This secret room is different from the last time Xie Lin came here.Schelling had sent Dobby here for renovations during the summer.
Under the statue of Salazar Slytherin, a newly built high platform appeared. In front of the high platform was a seven-tiered stage covered with red carpets, and a very dignified throne was placed alone on it.
At this moment, Xie Lin was sitting on this throne. On the back of the throne was inlaid a bead shining with a light green halo. Under the shroud of green light, Xie Lin's face looked mysterious and somewhat evil.
On the stairs, there were two people standing on the first floor counting from the top. The one standing on the left was Daphne Greenglass, the eldest daughter of the Greengrass family; Grade Girl - Maury McDougal.
At this moment, standing in front of the high platform was Dobby the house elf and a female student of the sixth grade of Slytherin.They had to look up to face Xie Lin, and they were suppressed first in terms of mentality and momentum.
"Master, Dobby has already brought someone to you." Dobby's voice was no longer frivolous as before, but much calmer.
"Well done." Schelling's voice came from the high platform.
"This is what Dobby should do, and Dobby dare not take credit for it." Dobby lowered his head and said seriously.
"Are you from the Wankanda family?" Schelling asked the female student.
The female student proudly straightened out her full breasts, revealing the family crest on her robe, which was a black panther head with its fangs exposed, and "Wakanda Forever" was written underneath.
"I am Narelle from the Wankanda family, and I greet you here, Mr. Malfoy." Narelle Wankanda said.
"Are you here on behalf of yourself, or on behalf of your family?"
"Narell is the only daughter of the family, and has been authorized by the family. This time, she came here with sincerity, and sincerely hopes to form an alliance with the noble family."
The Wankanda family is not on the list of the holy 28 pure-blood families, and their power is not too weak, probably similar to the Gore and Crabbe families.Mrs. Vankanda works in the Ministry of Magic. She is a member of the Law Enforcement Department, and her position is not low-after Umbridge was promoted to Senior Deputy Minister two years ago, she also took over as the director of the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic Office position.
(Note: Mrs. Wankanda's department is not directly specified in the seventh book of the original book, but she and Mr. Weasley took the elevator from the same floor, indicating that she belongs to the Department of Legal Enforcement)
This position does not have much power, and most of the daily operations are sending warning letters to underage wizards who secretly release magic during the summer vacation.
Theoretically, this position can control and prosecute all wizards who violate the Wizarding Secrecy Act, but adult wizards generally have backgrounds in the Ministry of Magic, and various departments are favoritism and mutual restraint, resulting in very limited space for real use.
For example, the day before the start of school (September 9), Mrs. Wankanda received a report that Mad-Eye Moody had violated the secrecy law. His trash can caused movement within the sight of Muggles, and even attracted Muggle law enforcement officers.
This was originally a big deal, but because someone in the department tipped off the news, Mrs. Wankanda had just assembled her team, and Arthur Weasley from the office next door - the "Office for Prohibition of Misuse of Muggle Substances" went to settle the matter first.
Arthur Weasley seemed to have no desire for power on the surface, and he always stayed honestly in the Prohibition of Misuse of Muggle Substances Office, which was far away from the center of power and nobody cared about.But in fact, his popularity is very good, he always spares no effort to help colleagues around him, and create an image of a good gentleman.
Not long ago, he also helped Ludovic Bagman settle the troubles of his younger brother Odo Bagman. As a result, he was sent the first-class ticket for the World Cup. He not only camped in the first camp, but also sat in the VIP seats to watch the game.
Mrs. Wankanda couldn't believe that Arthur was really as simple as he appeared on the surface, and he was a real honest man and a nice gentleman.So it was obvious that Arthur had crossed the line on Moody's matter, and she chose to keep silent.
Although the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic Office has many restrictions in reality, for Xie Lin, this is a position that he is very coveted. The person who controls this position is equivalent to controlling the map-like monitoring weapon of Zongsi. From then on, he was also able to cast spells outside the school.
There was no joy or anger on Xie Lin's face, he said: "The Wankanda family is so aware of current affairs, I welcome you to join, but—"
Naleil frowned, "But what?"
"I think there is no doubt that the Malfoy family is stronger than yours. It's an alliance, but it's actually the same as your request to be attached to the Malfoy family—" Seeing that Narel hesitated to speak, Xie Lin said forcefully, "You don't need to refute. The elders behind your family must have noticed something, so they sent you here. I think, should you show a little more sincerity in this alliance?"
"Mother has already agreed to cooperate with you in the Ministry of Magic to block all the little wizards on your list from Zongsi's senses," Narel said, "Isn't that enough? What more sincerity do you want?"
"Don't get me wrong, I'm very satisfied with these conditions, but I personally want to add one more." Xie Lin's eyes were piercing, as if a strange magic power directly pierced into Narel's mind, causing the latter's will to be disintegrated invisibly, and he could no longer arouse the thoughts of resistance.
"I heard——you and Irina Selwyn from your year are good friends and good sisters?" Xie Lin's voice sounded very gentle, but Narel felt the coldness hidden in his tone.
The thing she feared the most finally came. Narel gritted her teeth and replied, "Yes, Irina and I have known each other since we were young, and we have a good relationship." Facing the double pressure of Xie Lin's eyes and aura, she could only say sorry to Irina in her heart.
"I think you should have guessed it—" Xie Lin sneered, "That's right, Lestrange is my handwriting... Your family is not too stupid. You know that you have been deeply involved with the Selwyn family, you don't want to be the next victim in this dispute, and you know to surrender to us in advance. I advise you to put aside your personal feelings and put your family first!"
The little thoughts behind the Wankanda family can't be hidden from Schelling.They were nothing more than afraid of Xie Lin's prestige and methods.
This is why Schelling kept trying to improve his reputation at the beginning of the game.
Things like prestige usually seem useless, but they can snowball like a snowball. When the entire wizarding world is in turmoil, no one can survive alone unless they go abroad. Every force, every The family, and indeed each individual, must choose sides.
Schelling's momentum is now in full swing, not only manipulating public opinion, successfully shaping the image of a future strong man, but also properly exposing his influence in the business and political circles.Just looking at those well-known companies in the wizarding world, when they need financing, they will take the initiative to approach Schelling; and those politicians deliberately courting and making friends, you can see how powerful he is.
Under the ebb and flow, the Selwyn family who blindly engaged in mysticism lost a lot in terms of momentum.Coupled with Schelling's radish and stick, after he used Lestrange as the chicken to scare others, it was no surprise that the Wakanda family would make this choice.
The Wakandas, the Knotts, and the Greengrasses are just the beginning.
When the troubled times really start, many neutral forces who are watching, testing, and waiting will definitely choose sides one after another. Who will they choose then?Isn't it to see where the momentum is stronger?Where is the greater interest?Once the assembled forces are large enough, it will become a climate, and neither Dumbledore nor Voldemort can be treated lightly.
Xie Lin's eyes flashed coldly, "You guessed right, I want to deal with the Selwyn family. So I need you to be my internal agent, monitor all Miss Selwyn's actions in Hogwarts for me, and then wait for my next instruction, understand?"
"Ming, I understand." Now that the words have come to this point, Naleil can't say it even if she wants to regret it.
"Remember, your performance determines the fate of your family. Don't do stupid things that you will regret because of a momentary soft-heartedness." When Xie Lin said this, the coldness in his tone disappeared, and he said gently: "Don't forget Now, if anything happens to Irina, her prefect will probably belong to you..."
Both Schelling and Narell knew that among the sixth-year Slytherin girls, only Irina and Narell were the most qualified to be prefects, and the others were far behind in terms of family background and strength.When Naleil heard these words, her delicate body visibly shook, and some long-lost thoughts slowly emerged in her heart.
She nodded, "I see. Then, Narel is leaving." Dobby took Narel's hand under Schelling's gesture, and Apparated away.
[The "Ally" Wankanda family got it! 】
Sherin snapped his fingers, and with a snap, a house-elf emerged from the air.
"Dino, you are keeping an eye on Narell for me. I don't worry about her. If there is anything wrong with her, join forces with Dobby and Shining immediately to capture her and come to me." Dino took the order and left.
Only Schelling, Daphne and Murray were left in the secret room.
The three of them had their own thoughts, and for a while, the scene fell into silence.
Xie Lin took the lead to break the silence, and said: "Daphne, Murray, this is the road I want to go. The road to glory is watered with sacrifice and blood, and conspiracy and betrayal will also be music along the way..." At this point, Xie Lin's voice could not help but tremble slightly, "If you can't accept it, I can understand..."
"Stop it, Schelling!" The first person to interrupt was not Daphne, but Maury. Her eyes gleamed with unquestionable firmness, "Since I have decided to support you, I will definitely accompany you to the end. Maybe I don't like these things, these struggles for power, these conspiracies, but I will never leave you—absolutely not!"
Daphne smiled and said, "Xie Lin, my whole family is betting on you, and it's too late for me to turn around—I know I'm not mistaken, I believe in my vision, and I believe even more that you won't let us down." She showed a mischievous expression, "I just hope you remember our kindness, and stop adding more sisters to us!"
"Ah!" Schelling stammered, "No, no! You are enough for me, really!"
Fortunately, this embarrassing topic was interrupted by a crackle.
It was Winky, she apparated, and presented today's latest "Daily Prophet" to Schelling respectfully.The headline on the cover reads "Puldmere United Chaser Mysteriously Disappears During Match".
"Master, the results of this morning's game have come out. As you expected, Puddlemere United's newly recruited Chaser Velda Griffiths mysteriously disappeared in the middle of the game. Before the game, the captain of the Holyhead Harpies, Gwenog Jones, had sent a death threat to Velda because of her betrayal and leaving the team. Therefore, Gwenog has now been detained by the Ministry of Magic to cooperate with the Ministry of Magic's investigation."
Vilda Griffiths was the big-name player that Puddlemere United had scooped up after Schelling's capital injection. The transfer fee alone broke the historical record of the Anglo-Irish League, as high as [-] Galleons.
The mysterious disappearance of such a player will definitely cause the team a lot of losses. It seems that Philbert Devrier has something to worry about.Since Schelling had signed an insurance agreement in advance, he didn't need to pay for the accidents that happened to the players, and most of the losses suffered by the team would fall on Devrier, the sufferer.
Another person to worry about is Horace Slughorn. His beloved apprentice has been detained by the Ministry of Magic, and Devrill, who has suffered a heavy loss, obviously will not let her go easily. There will definitely be some disputes between the two sides.
After a little thought, Xie Lin came up with a plan.
He wrote two letters in a row and sent them to Slughorn and Devrill respectively, asking them to put aside their fight for the time being and let Schelling try to find the missing Verda Griffith.
Marvel fans, please don't substitute black characters yourself. In the original book, Mrs. Wankanda is a very dignified and old-fashioned blond white woman who is very old.
