As a time traveler who is familiar with the plot, Schelling knew clearly that Voldemort had only briefly disappeared from the scene at this time, but his remnant soul was still hiding in a jungle in Albania, waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback.
Lucius's wise act of self-preservation at this moment was tantamount to a betrayal for Voldemort, and Schelling also knew that in the near future, Lucius would do something stupid again, and because of this incident, Voldemort would lose a Horcrux. Therefore, after Voldemort was resurrected, Lucius not only lost his status among the Death Eaters, but his whole family was also severely punished by Voldemort - the Malfoy Manor was requisitioned, Lucius's wand was requisitioned, and the German Raco is assigned a death mission...
Even after Voldemort fell again in the original plot, Lucius was sent to Azkaban Prison. The Malfoy family was ruined and irreparably weakened, and has been in decline ever since.
Well, let's make peace with it. After all, he is a time traveler who is familiar with the plot. Maybe he can change the fate of his family, Xie Lin thought optimistically.
It is rare to be able to live again, Xie Lin does not intend to follow the direction of the original plot and let his future be bound by an invisible fate. What Xie Lin brought over from his previous life was not only the mature soul of an adult, but also the spirit of adventurer burning in the blood of his previous life!
If you can live a new life, even if you can't be the king and hegemony like the protagonists of many arrogant time-travel novels, at least a stable and worry-free life, the freedom of not having to work, the wealth enough to enjoy leisurely, and the dignity of not having to look at other people's faces are the minimum. If It would be even better if I could have two or three more girlfriends.
Now that fate has allowed him to be reborn in the Malfoy family, there may be one more thing to add - he also wants to try to change the family's destiny, protect the family's glory, and even bring the family to a higher level.
Let’s talk about life in Malfoy Manor.
The appearance of Malfoy Manor is luxurious and vast, but inside it is empty with only a few people living there.
In addition to himself and his father Lucius, there are also his mother Narcissa, brother Draco, housekeeper Kakaro and a lowly house elf Dobby in the family.
Of course, the Malfoy family also has some descendants of the clan, but these people are usually responsible for taking care of the family's property on farms or mines. They will only appear in the manor during festivals or when family elders meetings are held, so these people Although I have met Xie Lin a few times, I am not very familiar with him, so I won’t mention him here for now.
As Schelling grew up, Schelling felt completely integrated into the world because of the strong love and affection he felt.
When he read the original novel in his previous life, he didn't like the Malfoy family because they were all portrayed by the author as hateful villains. However, when he was in this family, he found that no matter what Lucius and Narcissa were like, they were both too kind to their family.
As for Draco, he really loves to show off and is very proud. This is because he admires Lucius who always maintains a cold expression, and always wants to try his best to show the nobility of pure blood. Coupled with Narcissa's endless and unlimited doting, Draco has some naughty characteristics.
But even he dotes on this younger brother very much. He always acts like an older brother, as if Xie Lin needs to be taken care of. This allows Xie Lin, who was an only son in his previous life, to enjoy the sibling warmth of being taken care of by his brother. .
Butler Cacaro is a capable middle-aged man and his father's right-hand man, but Schelling doesn't like him. He was very paranoid about complicated and boring family rules and etiquette, and would scold Xie Lin for all kinds of trivial matters.
(Note: Due to the existence of elves in the wizarding world, the servant system is definitely much simpler than that of Muggles. Here, Kakaro is set to play the three roles of Housekeeper + Butler + Tutor. , collectively referred to as stewards. If you think that stewards cannot reprimand young masters, please refer to "Medieval Children" published by Yale University to see how strict the family guidance assigned by the medieval church was to aristocratic young masters. The author welcomes rational discussion, but if you want to spray some nonsense on yourself If you don’t even understand something, this is a failure of the scholar’s duty.)
Draco, on the other hand, is just the opposite. He is quite favored and valued by Kakaro, because Draco has completely inherited the arrogant and hypocritical spirit of the Malfoy family. His hair is always combed meticulously, and even when he speaks, Nostrils turned upward, every word spoken slowly.
The house elves Dobby and Sherin have the best relationship. Whenever Schelling made a mistake - for example, when he accidentally broke some precious items in the manor, Dobby would always try his best to help Schelling cover up and escape the punishment of the hateful Kakaro. Whenever Schelling was hungry in the dead of night Dobby would secretly send food to Sherrin when he was young.
Of course, Sherrin was also very kind to Dobby. Whenever Sherrin got something new and delicious from Narcissa, Sherrin would secretly keep a portion so that when Dobby came to his room at night, each elf could sit there. Share together and experience the joy of eating snacks together.
As one of the 28 holy pure-blood families, the Malfoy family is extremely paranoid about the concept of "pure-blood supremacy". It can even be said to be arrogant and domineering.
As a modern person who has traveled through time, Xie Lin deeply carries the idea of equality in his bones, which has an irreconcilable direct conflict with the family's core concept of "pure blood supremacy." He was scolded by Lucius for his friendly behavior.
But Schelling didn't take this to heart, and still went his own way, just to avoid irritating Lucius' nerves and had to reduce contact with Muggles, at least on the surface. When Lucius couldn't see, Schelling He still likes to go to the Muggle world to try and use Muggle things. He even plays with the house elf Dobby.
As for Narcissa, although she is also a stubborn supporter of pure-blood supremacy, she does not care about it because she dotes on her son. Instead, she thinks that her youngest son has his own opinion, but he is just young and not familiar with the world.
It was also because of her defense and insistence that Lucius didn't say anything to Xie Lin. Originally, according to his character, he would definitely reprimand Xie Lin frequently, brainwash Xie Lin a lot, and try to ingrain Xie Lin in his mind. Deeply implanted in the concept of pure blood supremacy.
Of course, there is another reason why Xie Lin can still live happily, leisurely and nourished in such a pure-blood family. Schelling is a genius. He has shown amazing language talent since he was one year old, and his language learning speed is much faster than that of his brother Draco.
And Schelling's genius was not limited to language ability. He showed extraordinary learning talent when he was four years old. Lucius bought various enlightenment books on writing and numerical calculations for his son. Xie Lin Lin is able to master all kinds of things with just one lesson, and can even learn by himself without a teacher - of course, this is actually because Xie Lin still inherits the memory of his previous life.
Schelling privately felt very embarrassed about his genius title. These learning contents were simply boring to him.
Not to mention these simple children's enlightenment content, in his previous life, he was an out-and-out academic master. He ranked first in the country in the British A-level national examination, and then received a scholarship to study at Cambridge University. Finally, he With excellent results, he obtained a double doctorate degree in archeology and ancient human linguistics. He is proficient in English, French, Spanish and other Latin languages.
After rebirth and time travel, it seemed that because he had experienced brain development again, he found that his memory and comprehension were actually stronger than in his previous life. He could never forget whatever he read, and he could quickly grasp and master whatever he studied. Xie Lin I couldn't help but sigh: "Isn't it a kind of golden finger to have a photographic memory and a thousand enlightenments after hearing something? Is this the benefit of time travel?"
When he was 4 years old, Xie Lin successfully triggered a magic riot and used his powerful thoughts to knock out the old housekeeper Kakaro who was constantly lecturing him. He was proven to have the potential to become a wizard. At the age of 11, he could have his own wand and be qualified to enroll in a magic school to systematically learn how to become a wizard.
It has to be said that Xie Lin was really relieved about this. After all, he did not appear in the original work. He was not sure whether he must have the potential to learn magic, and he knew that the wizarding world treated such people who could not learn magic - —The people commonly known as "Squibs" were so severely discriminated against that he could not imagine his fate as a Squib.
On the day when Xie Lin's magic riot occurred, Narcissa was extremely excited. She hugged and kissed Xie Lin. Lucius still had a cold expression as if it should be so, but what about the slightly raised corners of his mouth? He couldn't hide the overflowing joy in his heart. Draco watched all this from the side and could only feel envious. As for the stunned housekeeper, no one paid attention to him after being sent into the room by the elf.
Lucius and Narcissa prepared a simple celebration for Sherrin, but Sherrin was more concerned about his eyes than the cakes and desserts at the celebration.
Xie Lin found that when he looked at his family, their bodies were covered with a faint and hazy white light.
Xie Lin once thought that there was something wrong with his eyes, but after several attempts, Xie Lin found out the reason - he found that his eyes would only show white light when he looked at wizards or magical creatures or magic items. If he looked carefully, , the white light is like a stream, flowing slowly on the wizard or magic object with a strange pattern.
Xie Lin suspected that the so-called white light was actually the legendary magic power. This guess was confirmed by Schelling in a family record not long after.
In the Middle Ages, the concept of "pure blood supremacy" was deeply ingrained in the wizarding world, and there is indeed some truth to it. At that time, the wizard population was sparse and was often persecuted by ignorant Muggles. The pure-blood wizards headed by Salazar Slytherin used the slogan of protecting pure-blood wizards in an attempt to unify the power of the wizarding world and start from Muggles. Protecting the witches' heritage from persecution.
Later, the great Slytherin and his three partners founded Hogwarts, one of the greatest magic schools in the world, and taught all kinds of magic knowledge to the vast wizarding community for generations. This is not mentioned later.
Pure-blood families at that time had very pure blood, and the blood also carried the mysterious power that was the origin of magic. In order to ensure the inheritance of blood power, they had to rely on incest to ensure the purity of the blood.
Unfortunately, in those turbulent times, every Muggle witch hunt would lead to a rapid reduction in the wizarding population, and even the demise of some well-known wizarding families. Relying on intermarriage became increasingly impractical. In desperation, The wizarding families began inter-family marriages.
Although they still wear the title of "pure-blood family", in fact, as the bloodline continues to be diluted from generation to generation, the power of the bloodline has long since disappeared, and it has become an ancient legend passed down orally by the family. The so-called pure-blood families of modern times and the pure-blood families of the Middle Ages have actually moved far apart.
In the original work, there are only a few people who have awakened the power of blood. In Schelling's memory, there are only Voldemort who speaks Parseltongue, Tonks who was born to disguise himself as Magus, and Trelaw who has a thin prophet blood but is reduced to pretending. Professor Ni. Harry Potter's gift of snake language was acquired passively because he was attached to the fragment of Voldemort's soul, and was not a natural blood power.
As one of the oldest families inherited from the Middle Ages, the Malfoy family also has mysterious power hidden in its blood. However, according to the family's historical documents, since the third generation descendant of the Malfoy family - Armand II Malfoy, there has never been a precedent for awakening the power of blood in the family, so Xie Lin has a magical riot phenomenon that is different from ordinary people. It did not attract the attention of Lucius and Narcissa.
For unknown reasons, Schelling was very lucky to awaken the blood power of the Malfoy family. This blood power is called the "magic eye" in family records and can see through the flow of magic in himself and others with the naked eye.
It is recorded in the family history that Armand II Malfoy once used this special ability to communicate with magic and create his own magical secrets, writing a glorious page in the history of the Malfoy family. Unfortunately, for unknown reasons, the records about this legendary wizard of Malfoy only have a few words and are very vague.
The fact that Xie Lin awakened the "Magic Eye" is a little secret that only belongs to Xie Lin. It's not that Xie Lin doesn't trust his relatives, but Xie Lin, an adult soul, knows the importance of being low-key and having a killer weapon. This special ability may come in handy in some unexpected situations.
Through the magic eyes, Xie Lin can observe the magic value of everyone in sight. As we all know, a wizard's power largely depends on the magic he possesses. The most obvious example is that in the original book, the fake Crazy Eyes Moody said when teaching the Killing Curse in class that the Killing Curse is a very expensive spell. If it is cast with the students' pitiful magic power, at most It only gave him a nosebleed.
Xie Lin quietly observed everyone in the family. Lucius's magic power was mixed with strange gray and black colors. The total magic power was quite strong among the family. However, because Xie Lin lacked comparison with outside wizards, the exact strength was temporarily difficult to estimate. As for mother Narcissa and housekeeper Kakaro, the magic in their souls is very lackluster.
