The two people talking outside were members of the Malfoy family and the Peverell family. Together with the Blake family, the Stinchcomb family, the Ravenclaw family, the Slytherin family, and the Hufflepuff family, these seven pure-blood sorcerer families controlled more than half of the seats in the Elder Council (the predecessor of the Ministry of Magic), which was the governing body of the magic world. They were very powerful.
Each of the Seven Great Pure-Blood Sorcerer Clans had a glorious history when traced back to the past.
In the history of ancient magic or legends, the names of these seven families were like thunder to the ears.
However, in the future, only the Blake family and the Malfoy family survived.
The other five families' surnames disappeared in the river of time and became a part of history.
Of course, although the surnames of the families disappeared, their descendants still existed.
According to Elwyn's understanding, the Potter family should be the descendants of the Stinchcomb family and the Peverell family.
This was because Harry inherited one of the Three Holy Relics of Death, the Invisibility Cloak, which was the most direct proof.
Also, the Resurrection Stone, one of the Three Holy Relics of Death, had been passed down in the Gunter family, the descendants of Slytherin.
Therefore, the Gunter family could also be said to be the descendants of the Peverell family.
This was the most direct proof of this relationship. In fact, the Peverell family was a very large pure-blood sorcerer family. They frequently intermarried with other pure-blood sorcerer families, so many sorcerers claimed that they had the Peverell bloodline. In addition, the Blake family and the Malfoy family had the habit of intermarrying for generations. The Bowens family also had the bloodline of the Ravenclaw family, and the descendants of the Hufflepuff family …
All in all, this kind of bloodline relationship was very difficult to sort out.
Intermarriage between pure-blood sorcerer families was very common. Come to think of it, there were not many sorcerers. If one insisted on not marrying a Muggle, then there would be only a handful of suitable marriage partners. There would not be much choice.
Big families would usually choose other members of big families to marry, or choose talented sorcerers.
Even after thousands of years, the pureblood Sorcerer family was still a very narrow circle, but the complexity of the relationships within this small circle was beyond imagination, comparable to the chaos of the Muggle nobles.
No matter what, whether or not one's ideas and ideals would be recognized and implemented depended on one's own strength.
A noble bloodline was worthless if one could not inherit bloodline magic.
Especially in the Middle Ages, this kind of relationship that relied on strength was even more obvious.
Why were the seven pureblood Sorcerer families able to control the Elder Council? It was because they were the strongest.
The emergence and rise of Hogwarts had, to a certain extent, broken the balance of the Magic World.
Especially, Hogwarts, Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin.
Creating the Hogwarts was only the first step. Their ultimate goal was to change the magic world.
Through the conversation between the two people outside and the information he learned, as well as the subsequent development of history, Elwyn briefly sorted out the current situation.
The Hogwarts and the sorcerer families behind them represented an open force. For the development of the magic world, they were even willing to share their precious magic knowledge. The specific ideas were slightly different. Slytherin hoped that the magic world could develop in an orderly way and reject the Muggle. Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw advocated accepting the Muggle. This was the main disagreement among them, but the four of them had the same interests.
The old pure-blood sorcerer families, such as the Malfoy family, the Blake family, and the Peverell family, advocated being conservative. They insisted on the idea of pure-blood supremacy, rejecting the acceptance of the Muggle, rejecting the establishment of wizard prisons, rejecting the implementation of laws restricting pure-blood sorcerers, rejecting the teaching method of the Hogwarts, and rejecting all changes …
For the next thousand years, the magic world was always in a constant struggle between these two forces.
Right, there was also the Stinchcombe family, whose attitude was unclear.
But from what happened later, it seemed that they also supported the reform and opening up.
The ancestor of the Potter family was a member of the Stinchcombe family in the 13th century. This guy was a potion master. He liked to live in seclusion in the countryside. Because he was always friendly and absent-minded, he was called Potter by his neighbors in the Muggle family.
Later, he changed his surname to Potter to prove that he had nothing to do with the Stinchcombe family.
At that time, the British magic world and the whole country were in a prolonged war. This was also the period when the power of the families was at its peak. Many old pure-blood sorcerer families died during this period.
Think about it, the once prominent Peverell family did not even have a male descendant. They could only rely on their female members to pass on the family and inherit the Sacred Weapon of Death. That was when the Potter family obtained the Invisibility Cloak. Therefore, this ancestor of the Potter family changed his surname to avoid the fate of having to fight on the battlefield. It was difficult to judge whether his action was cowardly or rational, but because of this, the Potter family survived and did not die along with the Stinchcombe family and the Peverell family.
Outside the door, the conversation started again.
"We're different from your family, Malfoy. The Peverell family is the oldest pure-blood sorcerer family. Our background and power are beyond your imagination. There are still people in our family who have inherited Blood Magic …" said the boy from the Peverell family. "But not me. Let's not talk about this. What do you plan to do?"
"We have the same goal, Clive. I think even the ancient and noble Peverell family doesn't want the Elder Council to approve this proposal, right?" Otherwise, the prison called Azkaban will be filled with pure-blood sorcerers in no time. Think about it, in that stupid law they proposed, it's illegal for us to even kill a Muggle. What else can the sorcerers do?! And nonsense like restricting the development of black magic. Our power will greatly decline! "
"Hmm, you're right."
"So, we have to unite this time." Malfoy lowered his voice and said, "My father has already started to unite this matter. Your family has no problem, but in the letter he sent me last time, he said that the Blake family is still uncertain whether to support us or the Hogwarts. They have a good relationship with the Ravenclaw family. My father plans to marry them …"
"What?! Annie is my fiancée! "
"That's your wishful thinking, Clive. The Blake family and the Peverell family have never intermarried. On the contrary, the Malfoy family and the Blake family have intermarried." The glib voice paused for a long time.
Elwyn shook his head. Just like the Malfoy he was familiar with, the ancestor of the Malfoy family was good at bewitching people.
Clive Peverell, who was talking to him, was no match for him at all. He was guided by the ancestor.
It wouldn't take long for him to be bewitched by Malfoy.
