Chapter 253 251 Greengrass Family

Feeney knew that this Horcrux had been destroyed. The reason why he destroyed this Horcrux now was because he had his own plan.

As long as this Horcrux disappears, Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets will not be exposed, and Basca can continue to be in Hogwarts, giving Feeney enough time to move it.

During the whole process, Lucius looked at Finny's operation with a shocked expression.

However, neither he nor Feeney knew that just as Feeney dug his fangs into the diary, a sharp, painful, angry, and resentful voice came from a very old house in Little Hangleton. It was spread,

"No! Phineas Black!"

The killing intent in the voice was abundant and obvious,

"Find him and kill him!"

Following the voice's command, a lot of black mist floated out from this very old and dilapidated house and spread in all directions.

After destroying the diary, Feeney looked at Lucius and said with a smile,

"Very good, now Malfoy's affairs are Black's. If it were before, Malfoy would only need to become a pledge family, then there would be no need to worry about the mysterious man. However, in recent years, the power of the Presbyterian Church has been increasingly used. It is restrained where needed and is no longer as deterrent as before. However, Malfoy becoming a member of the Oath family will still make the mysterious person afraid, and Malfoy's next task is to become a member of the Oath family again. Of course , according to the agreement, Blake will fully support this matter,"

"However, Lucius, you also need to be clear about one thing, that is, the possibility of becoming a pledge family in your generation is actually very small. We mainly focus on Draco. I think you are also happy with this. ,"

Lucius nodded, becoming a member of the Oath Family is a difficult thing.

To do this, not only does the family have a legendary wizard, but it also requires members with the talent and potential to become a legendary wizard. Therefore, Draco at best needs to become a great wizard. Only with the operation of the Black and Malfoy families can success be achieved.

"I understand. I will tell Draco all these things next. I think he will not let me down."

Feeney nodded and said in agreement,

"Draco is a good boy with great talent, but he is more interested in playing around now. However, I think he will make some changes after knowing these things."

Sirius was sitting on the single sofa watching the friendly exchanges between his brother and Lucius. He couldn't open his mouth and try to insert it, so he could only drink coffee alone. The point is, he also Not a coffee person, he prefers red wine to coffee.

In the end, Feeney and Lucius finalized many things, regarding the next development direction of the Malfoy family, help to Black, and the changes that need to be made. After all, if you want to become an Oath family, you need more than just one person. A legendary wizard also needs to have enough influence on the magic world to attract the attention of the Council of Elders.

There have always been conditions for entering the Presbyterian Church.

The establishment of the Presbyterian Church was clearly to prepare those legendary wizards to become gods. However, on the surface, or from another perspective, it is true that the wizards formed an organization for self-protection after acquiring the power of the gods.

Fighting with gods, fighting with elves, fighting with demons, because of the great invention of a legendary wizard at that time and the emergence of a new species, the demon clan was almost wiped out. Of course, this genocide refers to this world, if it is true If there is a hell or a world of demons, then there must be demons there,

The gods have now disappeared in the long river of time. Although the elders of the Presbyterian Church know very well that the gods still exist, but for some reason, every wizard who becomes a god disappears in the end. Occasionally, when news comes, the elders will think that becoming a god means death.

Nowadays, the Presbyterian Church is mainly guarding against the various dangers of early seals, as well as the elves,

One of the requirements for entering the Council of Elders is to have sufficient merit in the war against the elves. Of course, in this era, this is almost impossible.

And the other way, which is the way Feeney and the others want to go, is to be invited by the Presbyterian Church.

If you want the Presbyterian Council to invite you in, you need to reach a level that can easily shake the magic world. At this time, the Presbyterian Council will pay attention. In order to maintain the balance of the magic world, the Presbyterian Council will either invite this family into the Presbyterian Council, or This family was wiped out, but the latter situation almost never happened.

A legendary wizard is enough for the Presbyterian Council to pay attention to and influence the magic world. The existence of the legendary wizard also requires the Presbyterian Council to invite families to join. After all, the Presbyterian Council has been preparing for those elders to become gods from the beginning, and Legendary wizards are hidden obstacles and enemies, and they need to be controlled in order to be safe.

In short, Malfoy's mission and development direction in the next few decades is to train Draco, help Black, and enhance his power in the magical world.

The most obvious thing is that the attitude towards Muggle wizards needs to change. After all, as Feeney and Draco said, Muggle wizards are a large part of the wizarding world. If you get their Support, the Malfoy family will be much more relaxed.

Time gradually passed. A few hours had passed since the arrival of Finny and Sirius. The originally scheduled meal time had already passed.

Feeney and Lucius had been immersed in formulating the next direction of development, and they didn't remember until Narcissa came over to remind them.

"Really, look at my brain,"

Lucius smiled at Finny and said,

"Are you tired? Let's go eat?"

Before Finny could say anything, Sirius stood up and agreed to the proposal, almost falling asleep.

While Feeney and Lucius were chatting and joking, they came to the restaurant on the first floor and took their seats one after another.

It is worth mentioning that Lucius wanted to let Feeney sit on the main seat several times, but Feeney refused. After all, this is the Malfoy family, and he still can't do such a thing.

It's just that Draco was very puzzled by this meal, because his father's attitude towards Finny was too enthusiastic, or attentive.

Fortunately, not long after the meal, Finny said goodbye and left the Malfoy house with Sirius.

"Thanks for your hard work,"

Finny smiled at Sirius and said, he knew very well that Sirius didn't like this scene very much,

Sirius was just about to say it was okay when he heard,

"But, tomorrow, you will accompany me to visit another family,"

"What!"

Sirius shouted in surprise, but soon he coughed lightly and asked,

"I mean, which family?"

Feeney pretended not to notice what Sirius had just done, and said with a smile,

"Greengrass, but this time, Sirius, you can't be the same as you are today, because tomorrow will be a formal visit."

The forced smile on Sirius's face suddenly froze, and he could no longer smile.

When the holiday was approaching, Feeney had already written to the Greengrass family, stating that he would visit on the third day of the holiday.

The Greengrass family is different from Malfoy. Although it is weaker, it is still a sworn family protected by the Presbyterian Council.

For ordinary sworn families, the blessing provided by the Elders Council only guarantees that the direct line of their family will not be destroyed and will not completely fall. It is not allowed to be like what the Flint family was made by Feeney.

The Greengrass family is not allowed to take action against him at all. As for the reason, it is mentioned in the preface. However, Feeney does not know the specific situation, and he does not need to know.

What he has to do is to use what happened on the train at the beginning of school to win over the support of this sworn family that has always remained neutral.

You must know that although the Greengrass family is very weak and has a declining population, it has a different voice in the Presbyterian Church. It is second only to the consul family and far more powerful than a family like Lott.

Sirius sighed before asking,

"Is the gift ready?"

Feeney smiled and nodded,

"Of course, and it will be a gift that the Greengrass family cannot refuse me,"

Sirius frowned and looked at Finny to ask what the gift was. In his opinion, it would be more appropriate to send wine for such a formal visit. Nowadays, the Black family still has many good vintages of red wine, not to mention, He also learned that the red wine from a Muggle winery purchased by Feeney a few years ago was also very good.

Unlike visiting the Malfoy family, Finny and Sirius did not go there by themselves to visit the Greengrass family.

It was the Greengrass family who sent a carriage to London to pick him up. Of course, the pick-up location was at the Leaky Cauldron.

There is a reason why I didn’t take the initiative to visit or use the Floo Network.

This can be regarded as a tacit rule among the oath families of the Presbyterian Church.

The Floo Network is controlled by the Ministry of Magic. If you connect to the Floo Network, your location will be exposed. Even if you have the protection of confidentiality magic such as the Loyalty Charm, it will not work, because if you want to connect to the Floo Network, you must report to the Ministry of Magic. Prepare.

As for the prerequisite for taking the initiative to visit, it is still necessary to know the location of the other family, which also violates the confidentiality nature of the family leader Zhu.

Unlike ordinary pure-blood families, the Pledge Family of the Presbyterian Church pays more attention to the confidentiality and safety of the family. Therefore, when visiting each other, they always make an appointment in advance and then the visiting family sends a carriage or other means of transportation to pick them up.

Of course, families that are familiar with each other don't need to be so complicated. For example, Feeney knows the address of the Selwyn family. Of course, this address is the residence of a family that Feeney is familiar with and has good relations with, not theirs. ancestral home,

Like Blake, it is rare for family elders to live in another manor instead of the ancestral home. The ancestral home of those families is usually the manor where the elders live.

Perhaps only Blake, who has a strong foundation, has two ancestral houses.

The carriage that Feeney and the others were riding in was specially treated. You could not see the outside scene while sitting inside, and the carriage also had the characteristics of a door key. Therefore, Feeney and the others did not know about the Greengrass family. The only thing known about the location of the manor is that it does not leave England.

Stepping out of the carriage, what you see is a Gothic-style castle-like building. The reason why it is called a castle-like building is because this building only has four floors, which is far from the level of a castle. However, it should have towers, bridges, There is no shortage of short houses. It can be said that this is a mini castle.

The irregular roof and surrounding walls of the castle are covered with ivy. It looks as if no one has lived in it for a long time and has not been taken care of.

But Feeney knew very well that those were just devil's nets disguised as creepers.

These devil nets completely violate their original habit of liking dark and humid environments. Instead, they like sunlight, warm and dry environments, and are no longer so afraid of flames. They were specially modified by the ancestors of the Greengrass family to protect this ancient place. Fort.

"You two must be Mr. Phineas Black and Mr. Sirius Black."

A woman in a robe stood at the door of the castle. Seeing the arrival of Finny and Sirius, she walked over quickly and said,

"Yes, ma'am, you must be Mrs. Greengrass, right?"

"It's me, Mr. Black, please come in. I think it might be better for us to change to a more comfortable environment to talk."

Feeney nodded, bowed slightly and said,

"Of course, it's not a gentlemanly thing to do to let a beautiful lady talk to us in the sun, and it's all guest and host,"

Hearing this, the Greengrass woman put her hand to her mouth and chuckled,

"Little Mr. Black, you are really good at talking. I have two daughters. How can I be considered beautiful?"

"In my opinion, Mrs. Greengrass, you are now the most wonderful age."

While joking, Mrs. Greengrass brought Finny and Sirius to a living room.

"Phoebus is in the study, please wait a moment."

Phoebus Greengrass is the father of Daphne and Astoria and the current patriarch of the Greengrass family.

Because of the special blood curse of the Greengrass family, it is difficult for even men to live over 200 years old. Therefore, there are no elders in the Greengrass family now.

Feeney smiled and handed a bottle of potion to Mrs. Greengrass and said,

"This is my little greeting,"

Greengrass took the potion bottle doubtfully. You must know that there has never been a precedent for sending potions during communications and visits between pure-blood families.

Feeney smiled and said,

"This is a potion I developed that can curb the blood curse,"

You don’t need to finish all the words, it’s enough.

Sirius also knew at this time how valuable the gift prepared by Feeney was, especially to the Greenglass family.
