Chapter 272 Pure blood will be eternal pure blood (fourth update)
Malfoy Manor at night.
There is a huge crystal lamp floating above the restaurant. The bright light scatters around the restaurant through the crystal lamp, making it look a bit luxurious.
On the long dining table, there are all kinds of sumptuous foods, including beef, seafood and so on.
Lucius Malfoy, who was sitting at the main table, sat elegantly in front of the table, looking at the pureblood family representatives on the school board and Rita Skeeter sitting on both sides of the table.
Then
"Everyone, let us, Ms. Skeeter, have a drink." Lucius Malfoy raised the wine glass on the side and said: "Our Ms. Skeeter not only brought us moonlight meditation materials, but also gained the practice of meditation. Way."
"I believe we will have more information on meditation in the near future."
"At that time, the glory of the pure-blood family will return again."
"Regards, Ms. Skeeter."
"Respect, the honor of the pure-blood family."
The pure-blood family representatives sitting below also had smiles on their faces. They raised their glasses and said, "Here's to you, Ms. Skeeter."
"Respect, the honor of the pure-blood family."
Previously, in order to obtain the meditation method, they tried their best to put pressure on Dumbledore and Hogwarts. At the same time, they also used the power of the family to suppress Lockhart through public opinion.
As a result, all failed.
Unexpectedly, what they wanted could be obtained so easily through a mixed-blood wizard.
Moreover, it can be expected that as long as it is done properly, you will have the opportunity to obtain more secrets about meditation in the future.
When the time comes, just Lockhart
When he thought of this, a trace of enthusiasm flashed in his eyes towards Ms. Rita Skeeter in front of him.
Although the other party is a mixed-race wizard, interests come first and it is worth their efforts to win over him.
"Come on, Ms. Skeeter." Cain Parkinson stood up and raised his glass to Rita Skeeter, and said, "We still need more cooperation in the future."
"The Parkinson family will never let down any of its friends."
After hearing what Kain said, Rita had a smile on her face. She quickly raised her glass and said, "It is an honor for me to cooperate with the Parkinson's family."
At the same time, other members of the family also toasted one after another and expressed their support for Rita Skeeter.
The opponent's unique animagus alone is worthy of their admiration.
But now, the other party is the core figure of the entire meditation method theft plan. Anyone who doesn't win over him is a fool.
Face is nothing worth mentioning in the face of enough interests.
As for Lucius, who was sitting in the main seat, watching the pure-blood families below wooing the people he brought, a glimmer of gloom flashed in his eyes, but it turned into calm in an instant.
After a while.
cough!
Lucius Malfoy coughed lightly, and everyone's eyes suddenly turned to him.
Seeing this, Lucius slowly said: "Everyone, because of Ms. Rita Skeeter, we have achieved some results."
"But don't forget that Lockhart and Dumbledore have joined forces, and ordinary methods will hardly work for them anymore."
At this point, Lucius paused and his voice became a little gloomy.
"Don't forget, just the day before yesterday, Dumbledore forcefully approved Lockhart as an honorary school board member at the school board meeting."
Everyone was silent after hearing what Lucius said.
These people, all members of the school board, naturally knew what Dumbledore had done.
They instinctively opposed this proposal, but they had no choice. The other party was the principal, and his reasons were very good, and his attitude was even tougher.
In the end, only this proposal could be adopted.
And Lockhart has the status of an honorary school board member. In many cases, it is difficult for them to exert pressure on him through Hogwarts.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Lucius also said: "However, I have thought of a very good plan."
"I wonder if everyone is interested in hearing it."
After hearing what Lucius said, everyone nodded and said, "Lucius, just say it."
"Yes, if appropriate, I absolutely support it."
Seeing everyone's reaction, Lucius nodded slightly and said: "With the current situation, with Dumbledore here, it is impossible for us to attack Lockhart through Hogwarts."
"However, don't forget that Professor Lockhart submitted a paper on meditation to a European magic journal."
"."
As Lucius continued to explain his plan, everyone looked at Lucius with different eyes.
Good guy, he is indeed a member of the Malfoy family, he is ruthless and shameless.
After Rita Skeeter heard this, an inexplicable look flashed in her eyes.
after a moment
"What do you think of my method?" Lucius asked everyone with a smile: "If possible, we have to work together, and we are even recruiting some families."
Regarding Lucius's plan, everyone was silent for a moment, as if they were considering the trade-offs in their interests.
This plan sounds good, but it also costs a lot of resources. If you are not careful, the backlash will be huge.
As if he saw everyone's hesitation, Lucius said seductively: "Everyone, if you don't want to leave the child, you won't be able to trap the wolf."
"When we monopolize this meditation method in the future, pure-blood families will not only be able to return to the top."
"and"
"Purebloods will be purebloods forever!"
Lucius's seductive words added a heavy weight to the balance in their hearts.
"Okay, Lucius, I support you." Cain Parkinson said from the side.
Later, other pure-blood families also agreed.
Seeing this, Lucius had a smile on his face and seized this opportunity. , the Malfoy family will usher in a new peak in his hands.
After the atmosphere calmed down a bit, Lucius smiled at Lita Skeeter and said again: "Similarly, make sure the plan goes smoothly."
"I think Ms. Rita Skeeter is a perfect fit for the position of Deputy Editor of the Daily Prophet."
"What do you think?"
After a slight silence, everyone said, "That's right. Of course Ms. Skeeter is very suitable for this position."
"Yes, Ms. Skeeter's expertise is perfect for her."
"."
After hearing everyone's reaction, Rita's face flashed with joy and she quickly thanked: "Thank you, Lord Lucius, for everyone's recognition."
"I will definitely not disappoint everyone's expectations."
After everyone heard this, they all looked at Rita Skeeter with approval.
But I don’t know what I’m thinking.
This is simply Lucius using their power to send favors to Rita Skeeter.
Rita Skeeter had made such a big contribution before, could they refuse?
They all have shares in the Daily Prophet, and they can still push for the position of deputy editor without being the editor-in-chief.
However, it was clear that Rita Skeeter was definitely in Lucius' favor.
It's even possible that this was something the two of them had discussed in advance.
Sorry, the timing is wrong
