"Oh my God, Sirius," Lucius Malfoy's cold voice sounded, "If Mrs. Blake was still here, she would be heartbroken. Although you can win over some pure-bloods by doing this, and make this school board meeting fail and buy some time. But I believe that with Principal Dumbledore's influence, it won't be a problem to get more than half of the votes. You've wasted two huge favors from the Blake family, and the final result will only be delayed by a few days. There will still be no change. The Blake family's inheritance is in your hands, and you've wasted it casually. The family's wealth left is not much, right? As your cousin, Cece must be very sad to know what you've done. "
"Shut up, Malfoy. You have no right to speak here." Sirius said sarcastically, "This is a board meeting of the Hogwarts. You have nothing to do with it!"
Mr. Foley was wearing an exquisite dark green magic robe. At this time, he heard Sirius' request and walked out from the school board meeting. He turned the gemstone ring on his finger and persuaded Sirius, "Sirius, the Foley family has always remembered the kindness that the Blake family has given my family. But are you sure you want me to use this favor on others?"
Mr. McMillan also walked to Mr. Nott's side. "Yes, Sirius, it's not worth wasting it on outsiders. Please think about it again. I can pretend that I didn't hear it."
All the wizards' eyes were focused on Sirius, and for a moment, the scene was strangely quiet.
"Thank you, but as the godfather of my godson, I've been teaching him how to be a real Gryffindor … True courage is not only to die for something, but also to go through fire and water for friends, and to persevere to the goal that one has set …" Sirius' eyes looked at the pure-blooded school board members, and then looked at Harry, and said firmly without hesitation, "Today, he didn't let me down, so as his godfather, I can't let him down. So please do as I ask, and your family will be able to repay the favor that they owe Blake."
"I'm very sorry, everyone, but the Foley family can't reject Mr. Blake's request." Mr. McMillan saw that persuading Sirius was ineffective, so he turned around and bowed slightly to the pure-blooded school board members.
"I'm sorry, but the Foley family has to repay the favor to the Blake family. I can't reject Mr. Blake." Mr. Foley also bowed his body. In fact, Sirius's choice was more in line with the interests of the Foley family, so he couldn't reject it.
Seeing this situation, all the wizards were in an uproar. After removing the shares of the Blake family, the Foley family, and the McMillan family, they only held more than half of the shares. This made it impossible for Dumbledore to directly ask Harris to leave the school. There was no need to continue the school board meeting under such circumstances.
The wizards who cared more about honor than the nobles of the Muggle family cared about the actions of the Foley family and the McMillan family. However, they couldn't stand the behavior of the Blake family anymore. They began to clamor, cursing, scolding, and painstakingly persuading voices intertwined in the hall.
Lucius habitually squinted his eyes and softly questioned Ben Bostel, "I think you know that my boss will be very disappointed with your performance."
"The situation is different, Mr. Malfoy." Ben Bostel raised his head, and the fat on his lower jaw trembled. Paul Greengrass took a step closer to Ben and said in a tough voice, "We're only in a cooperative relationship, not subordinates!"
Lucius sneered at the two of them who appeared to be tough on the outside but cowardly on the inside. He raised his chin in disdain.
"But after all, we've already reached a cooperative relationship, Mr. Malfoy. Although there's an accident in this meeting, we can have in-depth cooperation and certain compensation in other aspects. I believe you'll be satisfied with the results." Greengrass seemed calm, but his knuckles were protruding from his tightly clenched fingers.
On the other side, the rest of the school board members were still shouting at Sirius. Longbottom and Burns were still trying to persuade him with the Order of the Phoenix.
Sirius was annoyed by the questions, so he ignored the school board members who were venting their emotions out of exasperation. He deliberately raised his head proudly at Allen and shouted loudly, "Allen, this time you can't say that I'll only be reckless, right?"
Allen, who was originally thinking that Sirius' unexpected actions had the same effect, looked at Sirius and thought of his Animagus. It was as if he saw a proud big black dog wagging its tail proudly … He couldn't help but laugh and make himself look serious. "Sirius … I've been worried about you … I didn't expect your success to leave such a deep impression."
"I can't let my child be disappointed in me. Harry's performance today made me very happy. He didn't give up on his own thoughts because of what I seemed to have done at that time." Sirius waved at Harry, then moved closer to Allen and whispered, "But I'm sorry, Allen, this can only buy you a little time. If you can make some promises, maybe …"
Sirius deliberately lowered his voice so that the other school board members could hear him.
"It's okay, Sirius. I'm very touched by your determination to make this kind of decision." Allen waved his hand. He glanced at the pure-blood school board members who had some thoughts after hearing Sirius' words and said loudly, "But I don't think I need to do anything. I have my own ways to solve it. But, Sirius, other than words of gratitude, believe me, I will repay this favor."
Sirius waved his hand repeatedly. "No, Allen, this is me returning the favor …"
"But you wasted two favors. I have to return one to you. Don't worry, I think it will satisfy you." Allen finished speaking and glanced at Dumbledore.
Unlike the school board members who were shocked and angry before, Dumbledore calmly raised his head when he noticed Allen's gaze. He looked at Allen through the half-moon glasses on the bridge of his aquiline nose. His long silver beard and hair seemed to sparkle under the dazzling sun.
