After dinner, Daisy practiced making some tea to aid digestion under the supervision of Morgan-le-feil. Harris and the rest sat together.
Lunn leaned back in his chair and quietly loosened his belt. "These pure-blood families have come to their senses. They no longer target Allen and the Hogwarts. After all, the founder of the Hogwarts personally appeared to clear Allen's name, which is perfectly justified. They don't have the guts to attack a real God. So now these people are trying to incite the emotions of ordinary wizards in the media, trying to shape our Umbrella Group into a greedy monopolist, saying that Hermione used Muggle's greedy system on us wizards, slandering us for oppressing other wizards to make a lot of money..."
"And Scrimgeour. Recently, he has been taking advantage of my absence, using his identity as the director of Aura's office to interfere with my subordinates' missions and actions." Albert clenched his fist and hammered the table angrily. "They can't do anything to Allen, so their target is us."
"Not only that, Lucius told me that many pure-blood families have tried to curry favor with the Mystery Man, hoping to become his partner." Allen's finger gently tapped on the table. "They are even planning to escalate their terrorist activities and further expand their influence, using this as an excuse to continue attacking the Ministry of Magic and my father."
Just like how they tried to kick Alan out of school, when Alan announces one of his achievements, these purebloods will realize that their criticism and speculation will only make them lose their credibility … "Owen leaned back on the sofa and sneered." And these pureblood families will sooner or later realize that their choice of forming an alliance with the Unknowns is undoubtedly a suicidal one. The crazier they are, the better it is for us. Among these three troublesome matters, Scrimgeour is the most troublesome. He only wants to deal with the Dark Wizards. He's not a bad person, and there's nothing wrong with his lifestyle. We can't touch him legally without damaging his reputation. Those pureblood families can't wait for us to act so violently … "
"These troublesome matters won't be fatal for the time being. Don't worry too much. I know, but there's another urgent matter that needs to be solved." Lunn looked at Allen and leaned a little closer to his brother. "I participated in your plan to reconstruct Hogwarts. It covers a very large area, but there's a problem. It includes Hogsmeade Village. Hogsmeade Village is different from Hogwarts and the surrounding areas. Those properties are owned by different people. If you blindly complete the plan, no matter how great it is, even if it brings benefits to them, the pure-blood families will probably make things difficult for you. Can your magic area not include Hogsmeade Village? Aside from the possible controversy, I don't want the families behind them to profit from it... "
"When the time comes, the cost of faking the project will be higher, but it's not impossible. However, we'll have to find some mud to fill the empty space in Hogsmeade Village." Allen thought about the possibility of avoiding Hogsmeade Village. His fingers unconsciously drew on the sofa's armrest. "Hogsmeade Village still has owners like the Three Brooms who are close to us. We have to think about these people, Lunn. It's best if we don't ruin their life's work because of our relationship."
"If that's what you think, then we can try to persuade them to sign the modification agreement and promise to give them some compensation. If they don't agree with us, we can try to buy them over with some extra money. As long as we have sufficient funds, I think this may be able to solve most of the problems … As for the industries of those people who are against us behind the scenes, they definitely won't agree to it. They might even take the opportunity to further publicize that we're squeezing out other wizards' industries for Gold Gallon …" Owen Harris narrowed his eyes. "Lunn, try your best to help those guys who have no background but are stubborn to make the right choice."
"I understand, father." Lunn understood and narrowed his eyes like his father. He picked up a cup of black tea and said, "They will feel lucky to have made the right decision."
"It's understandable that you can't bear to part with your own business. It's alright. When the creation is completed and the spell takes effect, I think those who object will change their minds. Investigate the background of the owner who rejected us. If there's no problem, it's not a big deal to give him another room. Our purpose isn't to make any money anyway …" After Alan finished speaking, he changed the topic and teased his second brother with a cheeky smile, "Lunn, Abbott is going to have his wedding soon. When are you going to bring your girlfriend back?"
Lunn almost spat out the black tea in his mouth when he heard his brother's words. Fortunately, he controlled himself in time. After he calmed down, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Alan, why are you suddenly talking about me? You have enough to worry about. Don't worry about me. I know what to do. "
"Allen, don't rush Lunn. He has always been the most worry-free one among all of you. There's no need to rush him." Owen turned his gaze to Lunn, who had a calm expression on his face, and sighed softly. As a father who was familiar with his children's personalities, he knew that Lunn was the one who most resembled a pure-blood heir.
Albert and Hibiscus Chinensis met earlier and were in love with each other. Therefore, they were able to get together smoothly. However, Lunn and Daisy were in a different situation now. Now that Harris's status in the magic world was extraordinary, it would be fine if his girlfriend did not have a strong family background. However, if his girlfriend had a strong background, they would need to consider carefully in this situation.
Therefore, in order to prevent people with ulterior motives from entering the family, Lunn deliberately did not look for a suitable romantic partner. His eldest daughter, Daisy, was different. Although she was not young anymore, ever since she found out that Lockhart, whom she admired, was a big liar, she did not seem to put her mind on the matter of a boyfriend.
However, Owen believed that Lunn's choice was indeed more beneficial for the development of Family Harris. For the sake of safety, he could only temporarily sacrifice Lunn's love life. His younger sister, Josephine, also did not look for a partner due to her identity as a vampire. Although vampires were discriminated against less than werewolves and other intelligent creatures, Josephine did not like other vampires. Now, she was living a cautious life, afraid that her identity would damage Harris's reputation.
Owen could not help but feel a little anxious. However, there was no need to let Allen know about this. His youngest son already had a lot of responsibilities and burdens, he could not let him worry about these trivial matters.
Noticing the change in his father's expression, Allen's left eye began to change. His pupil became smaller and smaller, leaving only a small dot in the middle. His gaze swept across Lunn.
This somewhat inhuman gaze made Lunn feel a little uncomfortable, but before Lunn could speak, Allen sighed. His touched voice carried a hint of complaint. "Lunn, Father, you still haven't jumped out of the old mindset of a pure-blooded family. We are not going to be the number one family in the wizarding world. We are not so narrow-minded and narrow-minded. Your choice has touched me, but I think it is a meaningless sacrifice. It doesn't matter what background the person you like is from, whether she is a wizard or not. Family doesn't need your support. Family will give you the support you need. Brother …"
After Allen pointed out the reason why Lunn did not look for a girlfriend, Owen's face turned red. He opened his mouth, wanting to apologize to Lunn and ask him to forgive him for acting dumb all this time. However, he only moved his mouth and did not make a sound.
"Allen, I know. This is a misunderstanding caused by my own indulgence in tradition. But don't you and Daisy always make fun of me in this aspect? I used to only know how to study. After entering the Ministry of Magic, I only know how to work. I have not met a suitable witch … but I will be careful in the future. " Noticing the change in his father, Lune waved his hand and quickly changed the topic, "Let's get back to the main topic. I'm almost done with what you asked me to do. My target is the two black wizards from Bulgaria. I'll bring them back after completing the procedure in a few days. The background and birth of the wizards are selected according to father's instructions … You know that he's very stingy …"
Allen looked at the smile on Lunn's face and sighed. He also looked at Owen with a smile. "I understand. Father is very stingy. Also, when you bring them back, you can directly throw them into the confinement room of the tower."
"I am still sitting here! I am not deaf! You two unfilial sons! "
