Chapter 823

Knott, Parkinson, Avery, Greengrass...... These are indeed well-known pure-blood families, and they do have their own estates, but they are not as big as Malfoy's family business together.

A stake in Gringotts, a majority shareholder in the Romanian Dragon Farm, a member of the Hogwarts Board of Directors, and a major patron of the Ministry of Magic...... Malfoy's influence in the ordinary wizarding world is unmatched by other pure-blood wizarding families. They were able to give up the face of Malfoy Manor, and this kind of courage alone was not something that ordinary people could do.

"You want to get out of the ranks of the Death Eaters, but you don't want to give up too much, and you want to save your ......," Solim said sarcastically, "how can there be such a cheap thing, you can either take advantage of the Dark Lord's time to ignore you and quickly slip away, or you will hold those so-called 'family faces' and step by step towards death." These things are not up to you to decide, so go back and discuss them with your family. "

Nott's face turned ugly, and the result they wanted was the help of the Selwyn family, because only if Selwyn made a move, their family could preserve both themselves and their wealth, but Solim didn't mention the family behind him at all, not even prevarication. Tell them to leave Europe as soon as they want to break free from the Death Eaters - Knott doesn't know, but he knows that his father would never agree to such a plan.

Their pure-blood families have been getting worse and worse in recent years, and many of the original interests in their hands have been reluctantly given up, and it was a major blow when they liquidated the Death Eaters more than ten years ago.

Originally, small families like Noether, although the inheritance age is relatively long, but there has been no improvement, I thought that taking Voldemort's car would be able to expand its influence and grab some benefits, but it didn't come to pass, the things were not fished, but lost a large part of it. They are now anxious to recoup their costs, or to keep what they have, and what little is left, which is still in their hands.

You know, it's easy to give away benefits, but it's hard to get them back. Even if their families left Europe, what would they do to live? wouldn't they have to work for others like ordinary wizards, and they would have to travel for food and food? This kind of thing is absolutely unacceptable to these pure-blood families.

"Can't you really talk to your family?" Nott was clearly not dead.

"Who's going to talk about you, or is your father going to do it himself? Are you blind to be the Dark Lord?" Solim shook his head, "And what's the bargaining chips? What leverage do you have in exchange for the entire Selwyn family to support you from the Dark Lord and not be liquidated?"

Noether opened his mouth and leaned against the wall.

He knew in his heart that Solim was right. They didn't have any useful chips in the face of Selwyn, but they didn't have any chips that could impress Selwyn, so why should they give them shelter? Do they rely on the "classmate friendship" with Solim for six years? Not to mention that their relationship is not good, even if they have a good relationship and can wear a pair of pants, any family is also cautious in this kind of matter involving the great wizard, and will not be emotional at all.

"We can cling to. Pansy was still naïve, "We can ...... the sales channels and stores that Parkinson's controls."

"Don't be stupid, Pansy. Avery sneered, "People don't like your little thing at all." "

Solim surveyed the group in the room, then turned his gaze to Nott.

"Next year will be our last year at Hogwarts. Solim whispered, "Do you know what that means?"

Without waiting for Knott to react, Solim continued: "I let you all go that night at school. "

Solim glanced at the Black Second Generation in front of him, until he looked nervous one by one, and then Solim continued, "That's because the location was Hogwarts at the time, and although you did some 'inappropriate' actions, you are still Hogwarts students, so I let you go." "

Solim smiled, and Nott suddenly felt a little cold.

"But when you graduate, when you do things for the Dark Lord, and it happens to get in my way—Nott, do you know what I'm going to do when that happens?"

Noether didn't speak, just bit the corner of his mouth and nodded.

"As a six-year-old 'old classmate', I would like to give you a word of advice from a personal standpoint: while the Dark Lord doesn't have time to pay attention to these things now, run as long as you can, and if it's too late, you'll all have to be cannon fodder - don't blame me for not reminding you. "

With that, Solim tilted his head at Draco and signaled that it was time for him to go.

"We're just leaving?" Draco watched as Solim closed the door.

"Or else, you're going to spend the night here?"

Feeling the greasy floor under his feet, Solim didn't want to stay for a moment.

"Gone. "

Grabbing Draco's arm, Solim and Draco disappeared into the hallway with a slight thud.

————————————————————————————————

The Dursleys have had a very comfortable time for the last year—very comfortable.

They don't have to worry about trivial chores anymore, they don't have to weed, they don't have to cook, they don't have to do laundry, they don't have to clean up the house...... Ever since the so-called house-elf arrived, Penny hadn't touched the washing machine - house-elves didn't use a washing machine or dryer to handle dirty laundry, they just needed a snap of their fingers.

Even with it, the Dursleys' newly purchased weeding machine that has not been around for more than a year has not roared for a long time, but their lawn is still neat and tidy.

Truth be told, Vernon and Penny have fallen in love with this kind of life, and this is the day when the real clothes come to reach out and open their mouths. Because of Solim, Harry's position in the house was not as awkward as it used to be, and he was freed from behind the sink to do things like write letters to his friends in his room.

Although Harry's life here was not as aggrieved as it once was, there was one thing he couldn't change, and that was that he couldn't leave the place, as his godfather Sirius had emphasized to him countless times in letters and in the two-way mirror.

Harry didn't have anything to look forward to for his 17th birthday, after all, he spent every year like this, sending some blessings and gifts from his friends, and then sneaking out of his room to open these surprises.

But this year is a little different, and given Harry, who is about to become an adult, his elders and friends decide to give him a special "surprise".
