Chapter 319 317 School starts
Hope followed Sirius to the old Black house at No. 12 Grimmauld Place, and saw this little boy with black hair and eyes. Sirius and Feeney both heard the boy's story.
The Boy Who Lived?
In fact, he was a poor man who lost his parents and relatives not long after he was born. He was fostered in his aunt's house and was abused as a child. A child similar to myself.
So not only did Hope not have any objections to Harry, on the contrary, she also had some empathy for him.
Speaking of which, it is also interesting. I don’t know whether it is because of Sirius’s unique charm, or because of his own personality, behavior, and habits. He can easily become friends with people younger than him. It seems that as long as he is younger than him, Anyone who wants to improve their relationship will eventually get along better with him.
Finny is like this, Harry is like this, Hermione and Draco are also like this.
Today, Hope is still like that.
Feeney could feel that Hope still had some resentment towards Sirius deep in his heart. After all, he had abandoned their mother and daughter for so many years. However, he did not reject contact with Sirius, and had even accepted that he had Such a cynical father.
Because Harry had an additional sister who was in seventh grade and was about to graduate, Harry no longer needed Sirius and Feeney to train and teach him. His study and training plans were handed over to Sirius and Feeney. Hope is solely responsible.
As for the two brothers, they have more important things to do and prepare for.
Because the ten-year regular meeting of the Presbyterian Consul Family is about to be called.
It is not an exaggeration to say that this meeting can determine the development direction of the entire Old Continent, that is, Europe, Asia, and Africa, the magical world in the next ten years, as well as all aspects of details, and even many major events in the magical world today.
The reason why we only talk about the Old World is because in the early days, the New World was completely treated as a place of exile for criminals. Most of the people there were descendants of criminals, slaves, and colonists.
Therefore, the Council of Elders does not have much binding force on them. However, because of this, the wizards there are not clear about the realm of magic and the future route.
They now just believe that the end of magic is legend. This is because the existence of Dumbledore made them realize that there are such powerful legendary wizards above the great wizard. As for themselves, or in other words, the entire America, None of them are legends, and they don't know how to become legends.
To put it simply, the inheritance of wizards in the Americas is incomplete and has almost no future. It has no impact on the wizards in Europe today. Therefore, the Presbyterian Council had no idea of incorporating them into the organization before.
"What the Council of Elders is deliberating about this time will definitely hit us."
Sirius guessed and said,
Feeney nodded,
"That's for sure. In the past two years, our Black actions have been too frequent and too strong. When I massacred several Parkinson families before, I didn't give the elders any face at all, even though they were all from the Rich family. However, after all, they have officially joined the Presbyterian Council of Elders. If you don’t give them face, the Presbyterian Council will not care about the reason. Whether those elders have selfish motives, they just feel that we Black have a tendency to escape their control. "
Sirius sighed. He understood very well that in addition to avenging himself and Lisa, Feeney and others also wanted to integrate the British wizarding world. After all, Black had lost his dominance of the British wizarding community for too long. The magical world today has forgotten Black's reputation.
No matter what the reason is, it is inevitable for the Presbyterian Church to be afraid.
"Even so, we must try to improve the views and opinions of the Presbyterian Council on Black. After all, they actually control the entire magical world, and no family can be sure how many legendary wizards there are in the elders of the Presbyterian Council. exist,"
Feeney nodded in agreement,
"Not to mention, there are still demigods among them. Moreover, now I can only confirm the existence of gods and what needs to be done on the road to becoming gods. However, I cannot be sure what will happen after becoming gods. Will it be the same as before? It is uncertain whether those gods will leave this world and go to the so-called God Realm or stay in this world,"
Sirius gasped;
"If it's the worst outcome, will we have to face God?"
Feeney nodded,
"This is one of the reasons why I don't talk about God in detail with Eslund and the others. If they only know God, know the method of becoming a God, and know that the road to becoming a God is monopolized by the Presbyterian Church, they will definitely and We have the same enemy, which gives me the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos and become a god. However, if they know that there may be a living god among the Presbyterian Church, they will definitely be timid and report us to the Presbyterian Church.”
Sirius nodded,
"You handled this matter very well, but what else will be discussed at this meeting? The last time the main discussion was about Lestrange inheriting the position of the Gaunt family, what about this time? Feeney, what do you have? News or ideas?”
Feeney shook his head.
"It's not certain yet, but I suspect a significant portion of the effort will probably be spent on bringing America into the Presbyterian Church,"
"America?"
"Yes, America, the so-called New World,"
Feeney opened his mouth to explain,
"Although America was a place where we exiled criminals in the past, there were indigenous wizards there after all. Their magic is not exactly the same as ours. Some of it is very magical. The Presbyterian Church has long held the inheritance of this part of the indigenous wizards. I want to be included in the organization.”
Sirius frowned,
"It should be more than just this. If it were just an indigenous wizard, the Presbyterian Council would have taken action long ago. They would not have waited until America was not within the Presbyterian Council's sphere of influence."
Feeney nodded and said,
"This is about some changes in the Muggle world,"
"Huh? Does this have anything to do with the Muggle world?"
"The magical world does not exist independently in this world, but is interdependent with the Muggle world. It can even be said that it is dependent on the Muggle world."
Feeney said in a calm and calm tone that if others knew about it, they would accuse him of insulting the magical world.
"Economic changes in the Muggle world will affect the magical world. I don't know who was the first wizard to realize this, but the first wizard to make efforts and actions for this is called Gellert. Grindelwald!"
"The first Dark Lord?"
Sirius gasped again,
Feeney nodded,
"Yes, Grindelwald has the power of language, and he is very powerful in this area. He directly predicted the end of the Second World War in the Muggle world, and witnessed the terrifying weapons in the Muggle world that could destroy the world. It was precisely because of this that he realized that Muggles were no longer the existence we once despised, but began to face them squarely, and decided to conquer Muggles before they truly gained the power of destruction."
"It's a pity that he was stopped by his best friend and Zeng Jin's roommate Dumbledore. This also caused the Muggles to develop according to the original process as always, truly mastering that kind of terrifying weapon, and leaving behind The second war ended after fifty years of residual damage,"
Sirius drank a few sips of black tea to calm down his shock.
"But, this doesn't mean that the Presbyterian Church will include America?"
Feeney nodded and continued,
"I just want to tell you that the things Muggles can do are terrifying. I think you have heard of the red country that disintegrated before. There, they really did what wizards and Muggles did. To get along normally, wizards would even sacrifice their lives for Muggles, and the existence of wizards is no longer a secret."
"And the country in America also had the power to fight against the red country because it took the lead in mastering that weapon during the Second World War, which led to a certain balance between the New World and the Old World. Therefore, before, the Presbyterian Church We don’t take New World seriously at all.”
Sirius suddenly realized,
"However, that country disappeared, and after its disintegration, they had no way to resist the country in America,"
"This has also resulted in that country's status and power in the Muggle world rising to a higher level, reaching a level that we in the wizarding world cannot ignore,"
Finny took Sirius's words and continued,
"Furthermore, according to their technological development, it is inevitable for wizards to be discovered. As far as I know, the magic world no longer exists in the Americas. Their wizards are like mice hiding in the shadows. The Magical Congress, also known as the Ministry of Magic, is more strict about wizards using magic in front of Muggles, and they have even begun to require wizards not to use magic easily,"
"this???"
Sirius looked in disbelief. You must know that the status of wizards should be far higher than that of Muggles.
Feeney sighed. The living environment of wizards in the Americas was indeed very poor. It was even like the era of witch eradication campaigns in Europe thousands of years ago. They suffered a lot of persecution and could only hide everywhere. Even the appearance of Obscurus was not unheard of. possible.
After Sirius learned about the situation in America, the two brothers lost the mood to continue talking, and after a brief exchange of words, they both returned to their respective rooms to rest.
Half a month later, it was also the day when Hogwarts started school.
"When you get to Hogwarts, remember to write to us if anything happens, or you can go directly to the professors and ask them to notify us."
Standing outside the Hogwarts Express, Sirius once again carefully warned Hope, who was coming to England for the first time and was about to go to Hogwarts.
Feeney said goodbye to Leah.
"You don't need to be so depressed. You also know that now I don't need to go to Hogwarts to study, nor do I need the protection of Hogwarts,"
"I know, but I still feel a little reluctant to let go."
The little girl lowered her head and whispered,
Finny smiled gently, raised his hand and touched her little head,
The little girl closed her eyes slightly and shook her head to make the contact with Feeney's palm more comprehensive, as if she was enjoying it very much.
Finny turned his head and looked at Draco and his father Lucius.
When Voldemort was resurrected, because of Finny's early actions, Lucius and his family moved away from Malfoy Manor, so they were not harmed. At the same time, Lucius was more convinced of Finny. Now He was standing next to his son, waiting for Finny to be free so he could come up and say a few words.
"Lucius, you should know that the Council of Elders is about to be held, right?"
Lucius nodded hurriedly when he heard Feeney's words.
"Yes, I know that there are records of Presbyterianism in the family,"
Feeney nodded and said comfortingly,
"At this consular meeting, I will make a proposal to return the Malfoy family to the Presbyterian Church, and I will also make my efforts to promote the realization of this matter."
After hearing this, Lucius showed a happy smile and hurriedly nodded and bowed to Feeney.
"Then I'll trouble you, Master Black."
Feeney frowned and said,
"Lucius, I told you last time, just call me Feeney. After all, I will call you brother-in-law after all."
Lucius nodded,
"I know, Feeney, so I'll trouble you this time,"
Feeney smiled and said,
"Although with Black's proposal and promotion, this proposal has a high chance of being passed, Malfoy also needs to do something,"
Lucius nodded,
"you say,"
"According to Sirius and I's speculation, the main content of this meeting should be to incorporate America into the Presbyterian Church. Even if not, the Americas will be the main goal of the Presbyterian Church's development in the future. Today, the magic world there is still not called Weak, Malfoy can use this opportunity to extend his influence in the Muggle world to the Americas."
Lucius glanced at Finny with some confusion. After making sure that he was not joking, he nodded.
"I understand, I will tell the family to take action when I get back today,"
Feeney nodded and continued,
"The living environment for wizards in the Americas is a bit poor. Those of your family who go there must be mentally prepared in advance. At the same time, we, Black, will also take this opportunity to enter the Americas. When the time comes, we will need Malfoy's help."
"Understood,"
After saying that, Lucius turned around and left, seemingly anxious to go back and order the family members to take action.
In fact, Feeney is not powerless in the Americas. You know, Damon was responsible for managing Feeney's branch in the Americas.
However, that is Feeney's own power, not Black's. If you mix the two rashly, it will be easily seen by other families and the Presbyterian Church.
Unlike here in Europe, the Presbyterian Council is actually very aware of all of Feeney’s secret powers here.
But the power over there in America is unknown to the Presbyterian Church. It is a real hidden power. Feeney doesn't want to touch them so easily.
