Draco was really shocked. When he thought about it, his brother Xie Lin was so outstanding that no matter how hard he tried, he could only watch his back from afar. Especially in the last semester, Xie Lin single-handedly summoned an unprecedented giant fire dragon patron saint, which defeated hundreds of dementors. This made him realize how big the gap between the two brothers was. .
To say that he was not jealous of Sherrin at all would be a lie, but Draco still cherished the brotherly love that the two brothers had grown up with together. If Xie Lin could succeed and bring glory to the family, he would also be sincerely happy for Xie Lin.
When he thought about it, Lucius would definitely pass on the position of head of the family to Xie Lin. After all, Xie Lin was hundreds of times better than him. This was a fact that no one could deny.
At this moment, his mood was very complicated, and at the same time he was secretly happy. This shows that his father still thinks highly of him, doesn't it?
"Father," Draco found his heart beating very fast and said tremblingly, "Do you, do you want me to transfer the position of head of the family to my brother?"
Lucius shook his head, "Draco, you misunderstood. Dad would never do this to you."
Then he glanced at each portrait, "Ancestors, you should have your own sources of intelligence in the Ministry of Magic, St. Mungo's, Hogwarts, and Diagon Alley, right? I believe that you are very grateful to my second son - thank you. Lin’s various deeds in recent years should be familiar, right?”
Several portraits exchanged glances, and finally Nicholas spoke: "Yes, he is a good boy and has added a lot of glory to the family. Lucius II, I probably understand what you mean. Now the two of us Although the two heirs are brothers, they have different philosophies. To put it nicely, they are betting on both sides, but to put it worse, they are going their separate ways. Only by seeing the final result can you know whose path is correct..."
"It would be okay if the final result is Draco... If it is finally proven that Schelling is taking the most correct path for the family, it will seriously threaten Draco's reputation as the head of the family. In ancient times, it was the so-called merit. The situation is so high..." He sneered, "It's possible for brothers to fight against each other and for families to be divided..."
"No!" Draco shouted loudly, "I'm sorry, ancestors and father, I must say that I believe Sherlin, he is my only brother. There may be disputes between me and him. There are differences, but - I never believe that he and I will split!"
Lucius looked at Draco with complicated eyes. In his heart, both of them were his biological sons. Why didn't he hope that the two brothers would love each other and support each other?
However, Schelling's abilities are so strong that in some respects, he has even surpassed himself as a father. Not to mention, he had noticed the ambition buried deep in Xie Lin's heart, and his reclusive character, which made him feel a little chilly. It reminded him of the trembling mood when facing Voldemort.
It's not that he was afraid of Xie Lin because of this, but deep down in his heart, he still hoped that Draco could safely succeed him as the head of the family and continue to maintain the glory of pure blood. Although Xie Lin's words were reasonable, they contradicted the pure-blood pride that he had maintained for most of his life. He never believed that Muggles were qualified to be on an equal footing with pure-blood families.
"Needless to say, Draco, you will be the next head of the family. This is an unchangeable fact." Lucius said forcefully, "As for Xie Lin, of course I also believe in him. However, if you still If you want to prove to him that the pure-blood concept is correct, and if you want to stick to your beliefs, then you must admit that your strength is far from enough!"
"From now on, you will come here every day and ask every ancestor for magic. Each of them is a master of black magic. Each of them has his own area of black magic that he is best at. I believe that under their guidance, you Your strength is enough to improve by leaps and bounds, so that you are qualified to become the legitimate next head of the family!"
Several portraits whispered again, and Abraxas finally spoke: "Lucius, my son, what you mean...is that you want Draco to inherit that one? I think...are you the most... Would you like to think about it again?"
"No need!" Lucius's eyes showed determination, "That... is Draco's only chance... You have never met Xie Lin, you don't know how powerful that kid is... Let's be honest. , his strength may have surpassed mine... At least when I faced him, I couldn't see through the depth of his strength..."
Lucius turned to look at Draco, "Draco, don't let your mother know about this, I don't want her to worry..."
"I understand, but my brother..." Draco hesitated.
"Don't worry! Xie Lin is also my son. I know his character. As long as you prove your strength and prove that your path is the most beneficial to the family, he will judge the situation and judge the situation if it cannot be done. He will become our enemy." Lucius said that, but he was not very confident in his heart. Did he really understand Schelling?
This conversation ends here.
Every day that followed, Draco put down other activities and stayed in the master's secret room every day, receiving guidance from his ancestors and learning various powerful spells and even black magic. His strength also improved a lot.
The scene shifts to other corners of Great Britain.
On August 16, an unknown murder occurred in Riddle House in Little Hangleton Town. The old gardener of Riddle House was killed by a death curse. The whole process was clearly seen by Schelling through the peephole. Unlike in the original work, Frank Bryce's body was not eaten by Nagini, but was destroyed by Voldemort using a disappearing spell.
This shows that Voldemort did not tame a new pet to replace Nagini, and it also means that his sixth Horcrux has officially become unknown.
On the same day, Harry received a letter from Ron, which stated that Mr. Weasley had received tickets to the Quidditch World Cup Finals and invited Harry to spend the rest of the summer vacation at the Burrow. The Weasley family would pick him up via Floo at five o'clock the next day.
Also in the afternoon of the same day, Hermione arrived at the Burrow accompanied by her parents.
Hermione has gotten rid of the depressed and depressed look at the end of last semester, and has returned to her previous somewhat arrogant yet cute demeanor. The Grangers saw Hermione's change and were satisfied with their decision to let Hermione stay with a strange boy. They probably misunderstood the relationship between their daughter and Ron.
To be honest, they were not very satisfied with Ron (from the perspective of his son-in-law), with his ordinary appearance, freckles all over his face, and the furnishings at home looked very old. I heard my daughter say several times that Ron's abilities in school were not that good, he didn't have any outstanding qualities, and his personality was jealous and stingy. I really don't know what my daughter saw in him.
However, their daughter had just experienced a low mood during the first half of the summer vacation, and the Grangers did not want to cause any further discomfort for their daughter. As parents, they are quite open-minded, as long as their daughter likes it.
At five o'clock the next night, Arthur, the twins, and Ron went to Harry's house via the Floo Network. What they didn't expect was that most modern Muggle families had sealed up their traditional fireplaces and replaced them with electric heaters. . As a result, the four of them were blocked behind the wall. In the end, Arthur spent a lot of effort to blow the wall open and made an unforgettable appearance.
Harry came to the Burrow and formally met Ron's eldest brother Bill and second brother Charlie. At the same time, he also learned that Percy had successfully entered the Ministry of Magic as an intern and worked at the International Trade Standards Association.
Early the next morning, Arthur took the twins, Ron, Harry, Hermione, and Ginny to use the portkey and also arrived at the venue where the Quidditch World Cup was held—the Dartmoor Wilds in Devon.
