"Professor, you said... what does this old man want to do when he comes to Strange to find us?"
After the old man who sent the invitation left, the front of the Muggle dessert shop, which had been deserted and empty, once again became bustling with people.
But this time, it was Luke who waved his magic wand so that the table where he was sitting would no longer be noticed.
"Do you know what their family motto is?"
Dumbledore looked like he was asking a question with some intention of taking a test.
“A crow doesn’t peck another crow’s eye.”
Luke said this answer with almost no hesitation. It can be said that the family motto is something that must exist in every family. In a sense, this kind of thing also has a bit of fate.
"Crows today really won't peck another crow's eyes because the other crow can no longer be found."
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Luke shook his head nonchalantly. But he also realized what Dumbledore meant when he said this: "Is he planning to let us release those members of the Strange family who are still in Azkaban?"
When he said this, Luke showed a confused look on his face: "No way... The two families have been separated for so many years, and he seems to have no reason to help another family."
If you want to help, it would be better if you help earlier...
Moreover, the relationship between these two families is similar to the relationship between Luke's Gaunt and the other Gaunt. They have no connection, but each is the first heir to the other's property.
If the Strange family in England is finished, the Strange family in France can choose to send one of their children to England to inherit the family business.
All the property can also be recovered, and from now on there will only be one French family, the Strange family.
As for those relatives with foreign surnames of the Strange family in the UK, they are not as useful as those with the surname Strange.
In short, you can't use this money to get Gringotts in vain... Those goblins are not good things.
"Isn't he planning to ask us to use some means to help him get rid of the brothers and Tom's mistress in Azkaban?"
When Luke mentioned 'Tom's mistress', Dumbledore glanced at Luke in surprise.
"You know a lot of things..."
This of course refers to Bella Lestrange. The two brothers in front were Rodolphus Lestrange and Rabastan Lestrange.
The former is still a poor cuckold, and it is said that he also appears in the official fanfic later, but the poor latter does not have such treatment. He has very little writing in the original work, and he is obviously an important character. A member of the family has become a pitiful sidekick.
"I can still sort out my relationship with the nobles. How could the Black family have such a crazy woman?"
Luke was also a little speechless. He could only say that the Black family's education of Bella had really failed to the extreme. She could look down on her short but muscular husband, but that didn't mean she could make her extramarital affair with a mixed race known to everyone.

She even gave birth to her daughter to her husband for adoption.
No matter which country or time you come from, this is quite excessive.
For this reason alone, women from the Black family will be kept at a distance by some families.
Fortunately, they most likely don’t have this trouble now. If Sirius died according to the plot, there would be no Black family anymore.
"This is something you have to ask yourselves."
Dumbledore didn't say much. He really couldn't understand why Luke dared to say that other people's families had some crazy people. There are also quite a few lunatics in their own family.
Well, even if this is someone from another team, it's Gunter's. You can't inherit Gunter, and now you want to cut off your own disappeared Gunter. How can I take advantage of it and not bear the responsibility?
"However, he probably won't let us do this for him. Just like his family motto, if we understand it from the surface, they will not take the initiative to harm 'another crow'."
Dumbledore couldn't figure out for a moment what Strange was planning to do when he came so eager to see them. He admitted that he and Strange had met a few times when they were young and could barely be called friends.
"What's more, if you come to me for this kind of thing, how can there be any results..."
Dumbledore said helplessly.
His reputation is not small internationally, and it is a good reputation. If the other party really thinks that he can convince himself to become a knife in their hands, then he is thinking too much.
He didn't dare to let himself hold power, and naturally he didn't dare to let himself disrupt order at will.
Dumbledore had great power, but what was even more powerful was his heart. He knew that once he gained power, he would inevitably deteriorate, and that breaking through the bottom line would inevitably lead to breaking through the constraints again and again.
The Dumbledore of that time was no longer the Dumbledore of now...
Therefore, if you ask Dumbledore for such a thing, you are really asking the wrong person.
"I can't help at all, Merlin's beard... Even if you really need my help, at least wait until I graduate from school..."
Luke is still just a child now, and his strength has not yet spread. When Marcus Flint and the others graduate and enter the Ministry of Magic next year, his power will become even greater. But now such a thing is still a little far away.
The two discussed for a while, becoming increasingly confused about Lao Strange's purpose. In short, faced with such an unpredictable situation, Luke and Dumbledore decided to go to the banquet as originally planned.
It doesn't matter if this is really the Hongmen Banquet.
Xiang Yu invited Liu Bang to the Hongmen Banquet. It was because Xiang Yu was strong and Liu Bang was weak, so Liu Bang was worried.
But this time, Luke took Dumbledore to the banquet, just kidding...unless Dumbledore and the other party were on the same side and wanted to deal with him together.
But this is redundant. If he really had an idea, Dumbledore would have too many opportunities to kill Luke along the way.
——
Ravens are a kind of bird with good fighting ability. They exist in many myths. In some people's eyes, they symbolize death and ominousness. But in the eyes of others, they symbolize wisdom and knowledge.

Among the legendary ravens, Fujin and Wu Ni are also considered the two most famous ones.
Luke looked at the tall raven statue. A raven spreads its wings as if to stay, and where it will land is a spear like a branch.
"Is it the crow that symbolizes 'thought' around Odin? Professor, do you think they will have a Wuni Manor?"
"Shouldn't I ask you this kind of question? My family is poor, how can I know how many manors a noble family should have to be considered decent..."
Dumbledore looked at Luke who was like a curious baby and said helplessly. It can be seen that Luke does not know enough about the aristocratic circle. After all, he still hasn't had enough contact, and since he doesn't have the strength yet, he is trying his best to avoid dealing with the nobles directly.
If he hadn't been with Dumbledore today, it would have been impossible for him to accept this invitation.
An aristocratic child who is still young, has little experience, and is not very strong is just like a piece of cake in the eyes of other nobles. There are so many ways to steal family property.
And the amount of family property Luke inherited is also quite famous.
"I heard that Vaughn seems to have a very beautiful granddaughter, who should be thirteen or fourteen years old this year..."
Dumbledore looked at Lu with a strange look on his face and said a commonly used method.
Luke gave the old man in front of him a roll of his eyes, and then said: "If you want to use this kind of thing to control me, you are still thinking too much."
While joking, the two people walked not far from the front of Fujin Manor. As they approached, the door of Fujin Manor was completely opened, led by the white-bearded old man, followed by five elves.
The number of elves can also reflect the strength of the family to a certain extent. It can be seen that the Strange family in France is even much stronger than the Malfoy family.
But it's understandable, after all, the liquidation back then had already left the Malfoy family with a lot of stress. The past few years have only seen some relief, far less than the heyday of the year.
Although he is also recovering, Luke doesn't know how much time it will take. But Luke knows that if the development of the plot goes according to the plot, the Malfoy family will be seriously injured again before they have time to return to their full glory.
This time, it will definitely not be so easy.
"Unfortunately, all that's left is the ancestral house and the wooden house. Although it's not bad, it can't compare with people like them."
Luke sighed without regret, if he succeeds in the end, then these things will always be there. And if he fails, even if these things exist, they will become someone else's.
This is not considered a kind of NTR. Luke couldn't accept it, so he might as well not have it.
"Welcome you two to Fujin Manor, I'm already waiting for you two in front."
Seeing the two approaching, the butler saluted and said to them.
Then they led the way from the front. Luke and Dumbledore didn't say much. They were already here, so there would be no worries.
And these two people come here for their own purposes. By the time they really meet with Vaughan Lestrange, it's hard to say who is going to trick whom, and who is going to achieve what purpose.

After walking a short distance, they saw an old man with gray hair who was greeted at the door of the manor's villa, but tall and strong and looked full of energy.
"Haha! Albus! Finally see you again."
Vaughn Lestrange smiled heartily and gave Dumbledore a bear hug.
Dumbledore also smiled gently and hugged Dumbledore reservedly.
Luke looked at the two old men with a strange expression. In fact, these two people are still friends. Vaughn is probably around 80 years old this year, while Dumbledore is over a hundred years old.
Of course, when you live to this age, age doesn't matter.
Something else caught Luke's eye.
Greeting them at the door was not only the old and aging Vaughn, but also a girl in a dress, exquisitely dressed, sweet-looking, with long blond hair shawl, and a pair of light brown eyes with a smile.
He looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, smiling at Luke from a distance.
Luke still had a gentle smile on his face, but that was not what he wanted to say in his heart...
"...This old guy won't really use his granddaughter as a bargaining chip, right?"
But looking at the old man and the young man in front of him, Luke seemed to have thought of something. He glanced at the red-faced old Vaughn from the corner of his eye. Although he was much younger than Dumbledore, he looked more energetic than his peers. The corner of his mouth curled up into a subtle smile.
Although there are still some things he doesn't understand, he seems to know why this old guy is so enthusiastic that he can't wait to meet the two people.
As if sensing Luke's hidden gaze, Old Vaughn quickly left Dumbledore behind and performed a very ancient courtesy to Luke in front of him.
Luke responded with proper etiquette.
The magical aristocrats of England and France are basically the same in this etiquette that can be traced back to the Middle Ages.
"Mr. Gunter, I heard my butler mention your situation, and it is indeed somewhat different from what I have collected about you."
At this time, Old Vaughn looked very confused and curious.
"Although it is a bit presumptuous, I still want to ask, what is going on in your situation? Of course, if there is something secret that cannot be disclosed, you don't have to say it."
Old Vaughn's demeanor and tone were very relaxed, and he had no intention of knowing at all. He seemed to be just out of pure curiosity.
Luke sneered in his heart, and Dumbledore, who heard this question, also glanced at Old Vaughn's back thoughtfully.
"There's nothing I can't say, come Mr. Strange." Luke showed a troubled expression at the right time, and then said helplessly, "This is because I activated and absorbed the magic power inside the magic stone. So it became what it is now. This way."
Luke, who had opened his emotional vision, could clearly see that the emotional dust around Old Vaughn turned into constantly changing colors like a neon light. Among these colors, the color belonging to greed accounts for the largest proportion.
Luke knew he was right.
Sure enough, what could make a veteran nobleman put down his dignity and even display his granddaughter as a commodity.

Naturally, it's because he has his own pursuits.
Such as immortality or rejuvenation.
Even in the Muggle world, these things are regarded as illusions. But when the real elixir of life is placed in front of you, how can you turn a blind eye? Although there are indeed people who can do it, such as Harry Potter.
But more people can't do it.
For example, the old Vaughn in front of me.
Luke suddenly understood that if he was determined to fish with the magic stone, he didn't know how many old guys like this he would catch.
After all, I am not Dumbledore, so I can both discuss and exert pressure.
"I'm really a good soft persimmon."
Luke thought. A subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
