Chapter 271: Long Family History
Chapter 271: Long Family History
Ron told an amazing story.
"In fact, I talked to the principal of Darmstrang about this during the time you guys were on the run. So you guys don't have any motivation, right?"
"Is that so? But... I was busy with my own affairs, so I don't know much about the situation at that time, but at that time, it seemed that a former principal who was dismissed due to power struggles died mysteriously, right?"
“Yes, that’s the guy.
This was before you came to the UK.
There was a serious-looking uncle by the Thames who was about to jump into the river, and I said to him, 'Would you like to talk to me?' It turned out that he was a wizard and looked like a good person, so I took him to the Malfoys. When I took him there, Mr. Lucius (former head of the Malfoy family) had just died. He heard that this man was the headmaster of Darmstrang, and began to listen to his story. The headmaster said that the status of Darmstrang had been declining recently, and he wanted to change this situation, but he didn't know how to start, so I brought up this topic.
Then I said, since you have the advantage of pure blood, and can use your respective magic books and long history to reconcile, you don't have to rely on the current popular practice of integrating with Muggle technology, and the exploration of magic can still have a lot of results. Now, the pure-blood nobles of the Darmstrang family have the most abundant information, so it is definitely not too late to do it now. So I introduced the two families to him, and told him how to conduct research, throw away each other's little pride, and cooperate with each other to create amazing magic! I saw the light in his eyes, although his face was haggard, he was full of energy, and finally he returned to his country full of passion.
The acceptance work went smoothly and there were many supporting families. I thought it would be successful, but at the critical moment, some families betrayed us.
That's the result, isn't it? However, although that person's advocacy was supported, the forces that lost in the power struggle wanted to inherit his will and later migrated to Africa in large numbers. Did you know that?"
"Oh, the recently rising Wagadu is not just a magic school in Africa, but a place that has both a spell school and a research institute... I see. In fact, sometimes those people come to the UK, and do we have people in our research institute who collaborate with them? So there is such a connection...
I know of some of the famous families who went to Africa, but I don't know when they went. I think that the world has changed after leaving the stage for a while, and I don't know much about it, but I didn't ask about the details. They didn't mention anything about us in England, so I didn't think it was necessary to bring it up.
"The heads of the families who decided to move to the Malfoy family have come to visit together. They said thank you for your care. I have met them, too. Although the former headmaster was killed, they vowed to inherit that man's ideals. There were many families that were once in opposition, and they said that instead of sinking, it would be better to concentrate on research in the new world. After listening to the stories of the two families, they changed their minds. Instead of killing each other forever, it would be better to use these experiences to regroup, but the stubborn people in the Darmstrang faction are really hopeless, so they took all the family's property and moved to Africa, which has a great attainment in spells and a long history, and vigorously declared that they would share and analyze information that had never been done before.
Before moving, they pooled their money to buy a small magic school in Africa and the land around it. Oh, the Malfoys also provided financial assistance. In fact, it was my ancestor Draco, who recently passed away, who was looking for this property. He often came to my house. He said that this place could be bought together with the surrounding land. Because this is an area where spells are prevalent, there will be no conflict with the surrounding residents, and the Muggles there also like spells very much, so he suggested that they specialize in spell research. The size of the school and research institute is just right. The original magic school there has been abandoned and is almost eliminated, so it can be purchased. When he went to look for it, he also said that he could ask the local government to negotiate with the British government. What do you think? So they bought it immediately. The former headmaster also gave them a lot of information he had collected, and they moved to Africa with these information.
As you know, the study of spells is a time-consuming process. Especially, the people who migrated there have a long family history, so it took a long time to analyze. However, as I expected, they gradually rose, right?
Just like that, they can do it themselves. Just get a little serious and throw away those boring egos. It's the most direct way. There's no need to rely on others at all."
"So, the most powerful family left in Darmstrang is our half-brother's family, right? So we can't ask them for help, and they won't agree, right..."
"Well, asking them for help is a dead end, because they vowed that they would never accept it. They were very aggressive in saying, 'We must show you that we are right.' Because, maybe someone in their family suppressed the reform plan, or they used hostages to force the supporting families to betray. Also, although the former principal had resigned, he had never given up the idea of reform, and was eventually dealt with, right? Although there is no evidence, I feel that this is the case. The murdered principal and teacher were very popular, so they must have aroused a lot of resentment. Therefore, the other party will definitely not agree to our request."
"That's what you deserve."
"Right, so there's no need for you to feel frustrated!"
"Yeah! It's Ron! I feel much better!"
It’s true that being the person in charge of a consultation room is different.
"Let's go get lunch then? What do you want to eat?"
"Hmm... to feel more energetic, I want to have some hearty steak!"
"Okay! Let's go to that store!"
I'm really happy to be in England. I feel really blessed to be a member of the Weasley family.
