Chapter 10 Gaunt and Lance

"You mean, Lady Catherine is so afraid of me because her family was originally a servant of the Gaunt family?"
Luke was a little flustered by the news for a while.
Then he could understand Lady Catherine's reaction.After all, if it was him, after finally waiting for the master's family to become extinct and he was free, the master's family came out with an heir, and he would definitely feel both physically and psychologically uncomfortable.
If I have a little courage, I will also think about whether this heir can disappear from both physical and social meanings.
Luna nodded: "It's no secret that the Lance family before Aunt Catherine was a vassal of the Gaunt family. After all, even the Gaunt family, which was extremely down and out before, would often go to the Lance family to ask for money. The Si family also has to give, not even the slightest bit unhappy."
"The power of the contract."
Luke can know what's going on after a little thought. After all, there are many contracts in the magic world, and some of them are quite unequal.
"But I don't know the existence of this contract, and there is no record in the notes left in my home, which means that this contract was not signed by our branch."
Luke has no interest in such a family of servants.Of course, the most important thing is that it is obvious that Mrs. Catherine or the entire Lance family's current attitude towards the Gaunt family should be a little bit of hatred in fear...
If they must inherit this 'family legacy', maybe they will really muster 'courage'.
And at this moment, Luke obviously thought of more things.Both Professor McGonagall and Luna in front of him are reasons for him to refuse or tear up this contract.
Just when Luke was distracted, his eyes suddenly went dark, he was startled, his body leaned back slightly, and then he saw clearly what was in front of him.It was a black kitten about thirty centimeters long.The eyes are an emerald emerald color very similar to Luke's.
After Luna saw Luke startled, the smile on her face became even brighter: "His name is Booker, and he is a new breed of cat that Aunt Catherine found from a Muggle cat breeder. After several generations of crossbreeding After that, he can also adapt to some things in the wizarding world."
Luna introduced Booker to Luke, and the black short-legged cat raised a small paw and waved lazily at Luke, as if saying hello.
The corner of Luke's mouth twitched. If he was really saying hello just now, then this cat is not too clever.
"The two of you smell very similar, and you should get along very well."
With that said, Luna stuffed Booker into Luke's arms.Luke subconsciously put his arms around Booker, and Booker lay lazily in Luke's arms and didn't move.A look that looks very comfortable.
Luna showed a satisfied smile: "He likes you very much."
Luke looked at Booker, was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "I like him very much, too."
Then he raised his head and looked at Luna, who was also looking at him at this time.The eyes of the two met together, and Luna did not avoid it. There seemed to be a deep starry sky in her eyes.
Luke didn't take the initiative to avoid it, as if if he avoided himself, he would lose.

"It's just a coincidence."
Professor McGonagall took a sip of his wine and said slowly: "I'm just here to take him to buy school supplies. I don't know that the pet he wants will be a cat. Since it is a cat, why don't you take this opportunity to send your pets to him?" Let's talk things out."
Catherine drank the wine in the glass again, then picked up the bottle and filled herself.
"Why does this evil family still exist!"
She said in a tone almost gnashing her teeth.
"Greedy, indulgent, inferior, ugly, this family has gathered almost all the ugliness together, such a family should be extinct!"
Seeing her getting more and more out of control, Professor McGonagall raised her hand and cast a sound-proof magic here.
"In fact, they are extinct, Catherine." Professor McGonagall stared at Madam Catherine and said, "As far as I know, the branch that Luke and the others belong to has nothing to do with the Gaunt family that persecuted you .It’s not even certain that he knows about your existence.”
"Also, before the decline, although the Gaunt family was famous for being surly, they were still a very respectable family."
Lady Catherine could not refute.Everyone in the magic world knows that these noble families with a long history did not become nobles because of their blood.Their family must have ancestors that people respect enough, and there are many heroes among the descendants.
"More importantly, Catherine, Luke is still a child now, no matter how mature he is, he is still a child, and he is still a child with aristocratic pride. I think you may be able to reach an agreement, really Terminate that contract."
Professor McGonagall gave a solemn reminder.
"Yes, this may be an opportunity, we can spend enough money..."
Catherine thought for a moment, before she was interrupted by Professor McGonagall before she finished speaking.
"Think about something else, he doesn't lack money, knowledge, treasures, magic props, etc." Professor McGonagall said seriously, "This child has inherited all the inheritance belonging to his Gaunt family, to be honest , This amount of money is beyond my imagination."
Catherine choked for a long time: "Then what should we pay?"
Professor McGonagall shook his head: "I don't know, but I won't let you cheat my students. I brought him here today and let him talk to you, which is already harming his interests. So if you can't come up with If the price is enough, then I will take my students and leave on the spot."
So Madam Catherine lowered her head in distress.
But after a moment, she raised her head again.
"You take such good care of him?" Catherine looked at the friend in front of her very strangely, "You don't want to lure him to Gryffindor, do you?"
Professor McGonagall was not happy to hear that.
"Then how can it be called abduction! Everyone has the right to choose their own academy, right? I'm just a reasonable guide."
Catherine shook her head suspiciously.
"Slytherin, the founder of this house is one of the ancestors of their family. I really don't think this child will become a little lion. I guess when I saw him for the first time, I don't even need to wear it. The sorting hat is just Will be chanting 'Slytherin'."
So the next troubled person changed from one to two...
