Chapter 299 297 The choice of a future partner

Feeney smiled and said,

"Although I don't know who spread the rumor, it does exist. There is a basilisk in the secret room, and I want this box just to bring it out. I am very curious, who is doing this? The secret room idea.”

Damon immediately understood what Feeney meant and said,

"I'll keep an eye on what's going on at Hogwarts."

Finny, to Damon's surprise, waved his hand and denied his statement.

"No need, you just need to take good care of the manor. By the way, remember to feed Basque regularly, and be sure not to look into the eyes of the basilisk. As for Hogwarts, I have other plan."

Damon knew it, and knew that Feeney had other arrangements, so he didn't say anything more, so as not to mess up Feeney's plan.

"So, Master, what are you going to do during this time?"

Finny said before that he would disappear from the magical world for a while to lure snakes out of their holes to see who has evil intentions and ulterior motives.

Then during this period of time, Finny cannot show up in front of others and needs to retreat or hide in a place. That's why Damon asked,

Feeney smiled and said,

"Go to Greece. Lisa has found some clues before. It is said that Hypor may have left something there. I just take this opportunity to go there to investigate. It may be helpful to the growth of my strength. help."

Having said this, Feeney paused and asked,

"By the way, I remember we have a stronghold in Diagon Alley. Which store is it?"

Damon was stunned. He didn't expect that Feeney didn't know where these strongholds were.

Maybe this is the young master testing himself? But that’s not right. The young master doesn’t like to test people’s existence that much.

I have to say that Damon’s inner drama is still very rich.

Feeney seemed to see something and said with a smile,

"Lisa helped me handle this before. I'm too lazy to look at those documents, so it's best to ask you directly."

Damon nodded and said,

"The Black family has many properties in Diagon Alley. However, those are properties that are on the surface and are not suitable for existence as a stronghold. Therefore, our stronghold was set up at the Vanilla Coffee at No. 94 in Diagon Alley. There is a room in the hall specially reserved for you, young master. Only our people will enter and exit that box as service staff. "

Feeney recalled carefully, Diagon Alley No. 94. He didn't have any special memory about it, but he had a profound memory of Diagon Alley No. 93 next to it. It would be the Weasley brothers' Wes in the future. Lai Trick Shop. Now it is just a vacant store property belonging to the Black family.

As for the Vanilla Cafe at No. 94, their ice cream is pretty good. What if Feeney stopped paying attention a few times and ended up owning this shop?

As if seeing Feeney's surprise, Damon explained,

"According to the document Lisa left me, this cafe has always been a property under the young master's name, but it has never been officially launched. Before, the only stronghold near Diagon Alley was the Silver Moon Magic Store. Later, The potion shop was damaged by the attack, so this cafe was launched as a new base.”

Feeney nodded thoughtfully and whistled,

A white shadow passed through the villa and landed on the chair next to Feeney.

Feeney smiled and stretched out his hand to touch the owl that had just flown here. The larger fish owl with hairy legs showed its identity. It was officially the one that Feeney bought in the former Soviet Union when he was kidnapped by vampires and escaped in the first grade. Owl Popsicle.

With a slight movement of his fingers, the quill on the side flew up out of thin air, dipped in ink, and started writing on the parchment.

Feeney said to Damon,

"Do we have a base in Greece? It's best to be a hotel or something like that."

Damon pondered for a moment and found that it had no effect. He quickly got up and rummaged through the bookshelf nearby.

After a while, he returned to his chair with a heavy notebook,

Feeney noticed that the cover of the notebook was marked with the name of Greece. It seemed that this was a notebook specifically recording the situation on the Greek side.

After opening it and checking it for a while, Damon said,

"Master, most of our strongholds in Greece are mainly based on the Black family's shop industry. There is only one place in the form of a tavern. Well, we have taverns in many places in Greece. Inquire for information,”

With that said, Damon copied these things on a piece of parchment and handed it to Finny.

"This is our tavern in Greece. If the young master wants to hide his identity, he can stay in these places. All he needs to do is show the Black family's crest ring."

Feeney nodded. Most of his wizard bosses were assigned a ring with the Black family crest that bound them. Naturally, he also had such a ring, or in other words, a member of the Black family. They all have such a ring,

Of course, if this member gets married or is expelled from the family, the ring will be taken back.

As for Feeney's ring, he used the notes Nico left for him when he was in seclusion not long ago to combine the Black family's ring and the Ravenclaw's ring into one, with the Black family crest in the center. Surrounded by a ring are the emblems of the four Hogwarts houses. Of course, its function has not changed.

It can still be used as a spellcasting prop and a wand storage prop. It is also equipped with three powerful protective spells. In addition to the Life Curse, it can resist other spells.

At this time, the quill pen had completed the letter that Feeney was going to write. Feeney walked over, picked up the letter, sealed it, tied it to Popsicle's feet, and said,

"To Astoria Greengrass."

Popsicle raised its head and shouted, then stood up and flapped its wings and flew away.

After watching the popsicles fly away, Feeney looked at Damon and ordered.

"Damon, after I leave, you arrange for some people to stay near the Greengrass family,"

Damon nodded and asked with some confusion,

"Master, the second young lady of the Greengrass family is,,,,"

Feeney was naturally able to guess the question Damon wanted to ask, and nodded and answered,

"Even if the Black family is dying now, and there are only two direct descendants, Sirius and I, our partners will still be restricted by the elders of the family. We can only choose members of pure-blood families. Nowadays, in the magic world, little wizards are about the same size as pure-blood families. Among them, the only ones I can get over are Ginny from the Weasley family and Astoria from the Greengrass family."

Damon nodded, his face a little tangled,

Feeney frowned and asked,

"Just say whatever you want, don't worry,"

Damon then spoke,

"But, Master, what about Miss Sirna of the Selwyn family?"

Only then did Feeney remember this girl he had forgotten.

Silna Selwyn, the youngest girl among the direct members of the Selwyn family, is also the little sister of many young masters of the Selwyn family. However, as a direct descendant of the Selwyn family, she is unexpected by everyone. When he was nine years old, he started to experience magical riots, and he was just a hair away from being recognized as a squib.

Although the Selwyn family will not expel the direct line Squibs from the family, they will still send them to live in the Muggle world.

When Feeney was nine years old, he attended a banquet at the Selwyn family and saw this little girl for the first time.

The little girl is quite nice and cute. Since she has never been to Skull, her personality is okay. She is not crazy or paranoid like her brothers.

Feeney shook his head and said,

"The Selwyn family will not agree to Silna marrying me. Even if they agree, the elders of the Black family will not agree."

Feeney didn't say the reason directly, but Damon could also think of it.

Indeed, from a status perspective, Sirna is more suitable for Fini than Astoria, and she is also a better match.

However, after all, Silna almost became a squib. There are differences in magical blood. If she is married to Finny, it can be seen as the Selwyn family's contempt for the Black family.

Neither Selwyn nor Blake would agree with this,

Moreover, Feeney himself was unwilling to do so.

Indeed, he can only obey the elders of the Black family, or in other words, as long as he still wants to receive help and benefits from the family, he must abide by this rule,

It's not that the Black family doesn't choose a partner who is Muggle or mixed-blood. Finny's cousin is one of them, but such a choice means being removed from the Black family.

Although Feeney is already very powerful now, his background in the magic world is more important. At least his identity as the young master of the Black family allows him to participate in the Council of Elders and obtain more information and clues to becoming a god.

Therefore, he cannot leave Black. Moreover, it is said that Black's bloodline has also signed an agreement that they will not choose Muggles or mixed-blood wizards, otherwise they will never be promoted to legend. Of course, it is not true whether this statement is true or not. Sure.

Even if he can only choose witches from pure-blood families, Feeney will choose those that he likes and get along well with.

Of course, as a member of a pure-blood family with a declining population, if Feeney is willing and the other party is also willing, Feeney can have an extramarital affair, that is, a lover without status.

The British Muggle community practices monogamy because of their beliefs. Although the wizarding community does not believe in these religions, they also live in the same country as Muggles all year round and have chosen the same custom to hide themselves. They are also monogamous. institutional.

However, if Feeny really has a lover, he can live in the Black house as long as his wife doesn't mind. After all, the place where they live is set up with Muggle shielding, and their identity will not be exposed because of these things.

Going back to the topic just now, it can be said that many people can see that the little girl Ginny likes Harry. Perhaps only Harry himself does not know, so she will not be Finny's choice.

Then, Astoria, the second young lady of the Greengrass family who was also born in the Presbyterian Church and has always remained neutral, and now joins Black, is Fini's best choice. The two of them also get along well, so they just go with it. Naturally she was chosen.

In fact, Feeney could feel that Hermione also liked him somewhat, but due to her status, she was unable to become the mistress of the Black family.

Yes, Mistress, it is difficult for Sirius to formally marry a wife, so even if he inherits the position of patriarch of the Black family, it will still be handed over to Feeney in a few years.

In fact, it's not that Feeney has no feelings for this smart, sensible, and occasionally reckless little girl.

But he has never been a person who is more emotional than rational. Even if he avenges Lisa, he has his own purpose. Of course, going back to the past to save Lisa did make him lose his mind.

"Okay, Damon, don't talk about Silna. If other families contact you and want to marry Black, try to refuse. Well, even if it is a family that cannot be refused, don't be too strict. Wait for me to come back and deal with it."

Finny is now fifteen years old. According to the custom of pure-blood wizards in the magic world, this age can be engaged. Of course, many families are engaged at an earlier time.

After instructing Damon, Finny turned around and Apparated away from the manor.

The next moment, he appeared in a shadow in Diagon Alley, jumped forward, and his body suddenly shrank into a black body, white limbs, and a pair of yellow and blue eyes.

This is Finny's Animagus form. This magic is rarely used after Finny learned it. Most of the time, he practiced it when he was alone, and rarely used it in front of others.

Finny, or the kitten at this time, nimbly shuttled among the crowd in Diagon Alley and soon arrived at the Vanilla Café at No. 94 Diagon Alley.

According to the location Damon said, he entered his own private room, released his Animagus form, and then waited quietly here.

A moment later, Astoria came in with a letter.

The letter had Damon's mark on it, which was also her certificate to enter this private room.

"Finny!"

Astoria saw Finny at first sight when she walked into the private room, and then shouted in surprise.

Fortunately, the private rooms here are equipped with soundproof spells, otherwise Finny's identity would be exposed.

"Long time no see, Leah."

Finny smiled and greeted Astoria,

"Take a seat, this shop is my property, the ice cream inside tastes very good, you can come and taste it when you are free, oh, by the way, this is for you, with it, you can come directly to this box next time you come."

As he said, Finny handed a silver ring to Astoria,

It was a ring with the Black family emblem, different from Damon and the others, this one was a ring for a member of the Black family, not a subordinate's ring,

Such rings actually exist in every pure-blood family, so Astoria's face flushed after taking the ring.
