The Wizarding Journey of Hogwarts

Chapter 9 Family Night Talk
After Bell sent his younger sister who had fallen asleep in his arms back to the bedroom, he came to another small dining room in the castle.William and Elena are already here waiting for him.

"Bell, how are you doing? Did you have fun tonight?" William asked with a smile.

Bell thought for a while, although at the beginning he was physically and mentally exhausted from greeting dozens of adults, but later listening to a group of young wizards bragging was quite interesting, so he replied: "Happy."

William laughed happily.

"It's good to be happy. I came to you today to introduce you to the situation of the family. After all, the family will be handed over to you in the future, so although it is a bit early, I still think it is necessary for you to treat us first." The family has a general understanding."

"You have seen all the wizards present today. Each of them has a pivotal position in the magical world of Britain and even other countries. Today, they all attended our family's banquet because of my invitation. Bell , This is the proof of our family's strength. Our Menethil family has a history of thousands of years, and is one of the oldest surviving families in the wizarding world. Even when the "mysterious man" was raging a few years ago, we did not dare to act casually Violate our family."

William proudly introduced his family's splendor to his son.

"Cough...this..."

Seeing the pride on his father's face, Bell was a little embarrassed to speak.But it's just a little embarrassing.

"But according to the records I have read, it seems that there is some discrepancy with what you said, Dad?"

William's laughter stopped abruptly.

"What information did you read? You, where did you read the information?"

"Of course I asked Lim to find the information. It should be from the library?"

Bell remembered the library he had only known about a few days ago.

On the night of returning from Diagon Alley, Bell found his mother and wanted to see his library.The result exceeded Bell's expectations. He forgot that there was a magic spell called 'Spell of Stretching Without Trace', so the library was much bigger than it looked from the outside.

Bell also learned from Elena that all pure-blood wizard families will set up a family library.It's just that some families only put some precious or unique magic knowledge into it.And some families, such as the Menethil family, will keep all the magical knowledge they can collect in the library.

"I was a little interested in the situation of our family some time ago, so I asked Lim to find all the records about the family. According to the records, the history of our family is only more than 500 years old, and the origin of the family is also unclear. Compared with the ancient families such as the Black family and the Gunter family, our family does not seem to be very old?"

"Also, there is no family that the mysterious person dare not provoke. As far as I know, as long as the mysterious person does not explicitly stand up against him, the mysterious person will not specifically target the pure-blooded family. After all, no matter how strong the mysterious person is, He also has only one person, and one person cannot rule the wizarding world. The pure-blood family is the foundation of his power and rule. Although the mysterious person is a bit abnormal, it does not mean that he is stupid. So I don’t think our family has There is nothing to be proud of being attacked by a mysterious person. If you don’t do it, it doesn’t mean you don’t dare to do it. In fact, he can destroy us at any time.”

Bell ignored William's pale face and the cold sweat dripping from his forehead, and spoke out all the information he had learned in one breath.

"Am I right? Mom."

"That's right, baby. Don't listen to your father's bullshit."

Elena rolled her eyes at William.She herself disapproves of telling Bell too much about the family.Bale is just 5 years old, it's too early to say that.

As the saying goes, alcohol is strong and cowardly, William, who drank some wine at the banquet today, dared to disrespect his wife and insisted on saying this to Bell.What's more, what Elena didn't expect was that William actually gave those false information!
Those false information are deliberately made up to fool outsiders.After all, the internal records of other families will not describe the situation of the Menethil family in detail.And it all happened hundreds of years ago. Even if someone questioned it, it would be enough to say that the records of the other party's family were lost.

I don't know if it's because he's lost his mind after drinking, or if he's making up lies all day long and he believes it himself?Elena wanted to kick William a few times now.

"This, this... Bell, don't worry, our family is still very prestigious in the British magic world, and a short history doesn't mean much."

William tries to redeem his fatherly dignity.It's so embarrassing to be exposed face to face when you tell a lie, or to be exposed by your own son or something!Is there any ground seam to drill!

"And even those families who are a little bit stronger than us will not embarrass us for no reason."

"Father, I have always believed that it is a foolish act to pin expectations on the enemy." Bell said indifferently, and at the same time took a sip of the tea on the table, leaning on the backrest like a big brother.Those who didn't know thought he was the father and William was the son.

Looking at William who was speechless, Bell continued: "And as far as I know, our family is in the wizarding world of England, so we can only be considered to be in a position slightly above the middle, let alone in the middle of the wizarding world." The whole world watched."

"Forehead……"

William, who wanted to show off the family's brilliance to his son, didn't expect Bell to know the current situation of the family so well?Is this really something a young wizard of this age would know?William wanted to cry.

In fact, Bell has been thinking about the current situation and future of the family.After all, even if you don't mention the help for yourself to learn magic, Shanna will become safer when the family is strong.

"There should be a lot of Galleons in our family?" Bell asked.

"Of course!"

William regained some self-confidence.

"Our family's underground vault in Gringotts is full of Galleons and all kinds of treasures."

"But we're not going to use them, are we?"

Bell's face was indifferent, and he didn't think there was anything to be proud of.

"So it makes no difference whether the vault is filled with galleons or dirt? They're both worthless."

William choked again.

"How can there be no difference? That's a Galleon! A Galleon that can buy anything!"

"No, Galleon can't buy anything, it can only buy what it can. And those things, as long as there is Galleon, anyone can buy them."

Bell stared at his father gravely.

"Father, we're wizards, not Muggles. The only thing that can make us powerful is magic. Galleons are worthless if they don't help us get stronger magic."

"No, no, no! Bell. For a wizard family, Galleons are indispensable. Only with enough Galleons can our family pass on forever."
