A few more days passed, and March came in a blink of an eye.
After entering March, the weather has become a little clearer. If students go outdoors, the biting cold wind can still cause pain to their hands and faces.
As Schelling expected, the investigation into the missing students made no progress at all and came to a standstill. Accompanied by Dumbledore, the two Aurors investigated all the senior students and searched for all the portraits, statues, and ghosts to question, but in the end they still found nothing. No matter how dissatisfied the four families who lost their children were, they lost the ability to continue making trouble.
After all, Dumbledore is still the most powerful wizard of this century and the spiritual leader of the European wizarding community. His willingness to take time out and actively cooperate with the investigation is because of his good temper, but this does not mean that he is useless. The clay figurine, who has a temper and is at the mercy of others, is even less likely to allow the forces of the Ministry of Magic to further invade Hogwarts. In his mind, Hogwarts is the pure land of education, and he will never let politics invade the campus!
The four families who lost their children had no choice but to give up. As for them gathering together secretly and plotting some new plans, that is another matter that will not be mentioned here for now.
As for other people, they can live their lives how they want.
On the surface, nothing has changed, but in fact, anyone who is in the whirlpool knows that everything is actually different.
As mentioned before, although pure-blood families share a common philosophy and are all supporters of pure-blood supremacy, they are not a truly close alliance. For the sake of family interests, development, and survival, every family actually has its own little thoughts.
The Malfoy family has always been the most prosperous on the surface, but secretly there are actually many pure-blood families who disdain the upstarts of the Malfoy family, such as Selwyn, Carlo, and Avery. , Yaxley, and even the destroyed Lestrange and Rolle, have always had the intention to unite to suppress the Malfoy family.
Those second-class families, such as Wankanda and Blackie, were originally affiliated families of these families, but as these families showed decline, they gradually had other ideas.
After the disappearance of the students, the Wankanda family was extremely satisfied with their foresight. After gaining the friendship of the Malfoy family, Schelling's cooperation with them in the business world allowed them to successfully earn a lot of wealth. The family's legitimate daughter, Narelle, also became the prefect of the sixth grade as she wished.
In contrast, the Black family, which made the wrong bet and stood on the wrong team, suffered a lot. Mr. Black was originally a director-level figure in the Department of Legal Enforcement, but he was suppressed for no reason, just because he committed a crime. After making a small mistake, he was transferred to the Centaur Liaison Office of the Biological Management and Control Department.
As we all know, although there is a Centaur Liaison Office in the Ministry of Magic, there is no record of the proud centaurs using it, so this is actually a sinecure, which means that Mr. Blige has been marginalized by the center of power. Now it's even worse. Even Miles Black, the heir who has the highest hopes for the family, has disappeared for no reason. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the end of the Black family is looming.
These two families are actually just two examples of the most obvious changes.
In this changing situation, as long as the family is not run by a fool, seeing the very different endings of these two families, they will basically smell the future trend, and make responses and new choices one after another. Suddenly, Various undercurrents of personnel transfers began to appear in the political circles, business circles, and even the student factions within Hogwarts.
Schelling's reputation was strengthened again after Druela's funeral and the second event of the Triwizard Tournament.
During Druela's funeral, many neutrals, wait-and-sees, moderates, and even profit-oriented factions from pure-blood families saw opportunities in the attitude shown by Schelling. In the second competition event, although Schelling did not score the highest, his way of breaking through was undoubtedly the most dazzling and shocking. Dumbledore's comments on Schelling's Transfiguration were spread widely. Under the overwhelming media coverage, almost the entire European wizarding world heard about Schelling's innovation of Transfiguration, even people as far away as China. Zhang He heard about it and wrote a letter to Xie Lin to verify the matter.
Fame is like a snowball. As long as it accumulates to a certain level and breaks through the threshold, it will grow by leaps and bounds. With several relatively powerful families, such as the Carrows, McLaggens, and Runcorns, taking the lead in showing goodwill and friendship to the Malfoy family, the banner with Schelling as its signature was quickly erected.
Soon other small and medium-sized families, or business families who were still waiting on the sidelines, saw this and followed suit one after another, fearing that they would be left behind and approached the Malfoy family to express their stance and seek refuge. There are even many of them who were originally affiliated families of Selwyn, Avery, and Yaxley. They are also afraid of openly changing their flags and switching to the Malfoy family camp.
The Malfoy family's momentum once again reached its peak. The last time the Malfoy family was so powerful was the era of the tenth generation head of the family, Satimus.
After Draco wrote a letter to Lucius, the latter reluctantly gave up the idea of continuing to support pure-blood supremacy. In his past life, he has been instilled in him by his family and friends the concept of pure blood supremacy, which has led to the idea of pure blood being deeply ingrained in his mind. When Schelling first proposed a new direction for the family, even though Schelling was himself His beloved biological son still made him deeply unhappy.
But that doesn't mean he's really stupid. In his opinion, Xie Lin's situation has become a success, and the Malfoy family looks extremely prosperous at the moment, but he knows clearly in his heart that these families and forces who have come to form alliances, make friends, attach themselves to, and seek refuge are actually all rushing to Xie Lin. Lin's reputation comes from this. Rather than an alliance with Malfoy, it was actually an alliance with Schelling himself.
To put it bluntly, Schelling has successfully stirred up the turmoil in the British wizarding world, and has even become one of the centers of the turmoil.
At this moment, the situation in the British wizarding world, and even every major event that happened in the UK, Schelling knew clearly, because the four house elves were apparating around the UK almost non-stop, non-stop relaying information from all over the UK. In the hands of Schelling or Daphne. Except for the really important information that the elves need to report directly to Xie Lin, Xie Lin usually leaves it to Daphne to deal with other issues such as the dependence of small and medium-sized families.
As the eldest daughter of the Greengrass family, Daphne has been trained by the family since she was a child. She is familiar with the interests and intrigues between various families. As a lady from a noble family, she has indeed come up with enough tricks to calm the scene. Her aura made everyone who met her (the elf used Apparition to take her out) obedient, and seeing her was like seeing Xie Lin.
Schelling himself is hiding in the laboratory in the suitcase space.
He knew that the time had come and it was time for Mianlong Society to enter the planned second stage.
Before that, he still needs to master a magic!
