The Charles Becomes a Wizard

"No, don't worry, he is an Englishman," said Gellert. "A very learned and polite gentleman."

Ciel turned the ring on his left thumb, which was his usual action when thinking about something. However, in this life, the ring on his hand was no longer the Hope Diamond that represented the identity of the head of the Phantomhive family. It was replaced by a slightly smaller Paraiba tourmaline.

Ciel felt that even if Gellert was beaten up by Sebastian, he would not give up this opportunity to interfere in the British wizarding world in a fair and open manner.

So there is something wrong with the candidates he proposed?

If it was an obvious identity issue, Gellert would not have raised it directly according to his scheming.

Since this candidate was brought up in front of Lucius, it means that Gellert is confident that even with the current power of the Malfoy family, it is impossible to find anything wrong with that person.

Tsk, just to be on the safe side, I should let Sebastian check it out first.

Ciel looked up at Sebastian, then withdrew his gaze when he saw him nod slightly.

As for whether that person will be appointed as the headmaster of Hogwarts, isn't that the business of Lucius and other school directors? He is just a little wizard who has not even entered the second grade yet, how can he be in charge of such an important personnel change?

The candidate Gellert proposed was the second son of a family famous for alchemy. He was a pure-blood and his entire family had graduated from Ravenclaw. However, in order to avoid Voldemort's recruitment, the family moved to France and there has been no news since then.

In addition, Lucius wanted to give the position of headmaster to Slytherin from the beginning, so he did not consider the possibility of selecting the headmaster from students who graduated from other colleges.

Therefore, the failure to find a candidate for the principal was entirely Lucius's fault.

Under the dual support of Dumbledore and Voldemort, the number of Slytherin students has been decreasing year by year. Most of these people are supporters of the "pure blood theory". It is not easy to find someone who is not paranoid and has no prejudice against Muggle half-bloods.

There are only two candidates who can be the headmaster. One is the only son in the family and is unlikely to give up the family fortune to become a headmaster. The second one does not need to inherit the family fortune, but his ability is too mediocre. He is so mediocre that even Lucius would be embarrassed to say with his eyes closed that the situation at Hogwarts would be better if this person was the headmaster.

Since Lucius himself thought so, it would be even more unlikely that other school directors would agree.

Lucius, who had been considering whether to expand the scope of candidates, was silent for a moment after hearing Gellert's words: "If he has this intention, then I think we can meet and discuss the specific situation in detail."

"Of course, I hope you can make it clear to him. It's just a conversation. Also, even if he gets the approval of all the directors, he can't directly serve as the principal."

The influence of the headmaster of Hogwarts is so great that even the Ministry of Magic wants to intervene. Sending an inexperienced person to take over puts a lot of pressure on the school directors.

But compared to letting Dumbledore continue to be the headmaster...

Lucius thought a little stress was no big deal.

In fact, the original candidate for the headmaster was supposed to be chosen from among the current professors, but Professor McGonagall's position...the school directors who were from Slytherin backgrounds were not very reassured.

As for the other suitable candidate, Snape, there was certainly no problem with his ability, and although he was biased in his dealings, it was only against Gryffindor. Considering what they had recently discovered about Dumbledore's behavior in the school, the school director who graduated from Gryffindor could not strongly oppose this candidate.

It's just that this generation of school directors almost all grew up with Snape, and had suffered many times from his vicious attacks in the past. They more or less believed that they still had some love for their own children. When they thought of the mental attacks that the children might suffer after Snape became the headmaster, they tacitly put this candidate on the list of candidates.

Unless he really can't find anyone in the end, Snape should just be a head of the house safely.

"No problem," Gellert said calmly, "He will contact you before tomorrow."

After seriously considering the possibility of having a graduate of Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff serve as the headmaster, Lucius felt that he had put his mind at ease. Now he remembered the introduction that Ciel had mentioned briefly before.

"I wonder what I should call you?" Lucius in the two-way mirror asked politely.

After several contacts, Lucius developed a strange "trust" in Ciel. He almost tacitly accepted that the person who appeared next to this thoughtful and sophisticated boy would not be an ordinary person, such as the butler in black, or Voldemort who also had a pair of red eyes...

Lucius thought he had given the old man he met for the first time enough basic respect, but he never expected that Ciel would give him another big surprise.

"..." Lucius stared blankly at the old face in the mirror with an expressionless face. His eyes were dull, as if he had been cast under the Imperius Curse.

The huge impact caused by the "surprise" made him unable to recover for a long time.

Gellert Grindelwald?!

The Grindelwald who escaped from Nurmengard? ! !

How did he end up in England? Why was he at Phantomhive's house?

So, is the incident in Nurmengard also related to this child from the Phantomhive family?

What does he want to do?

Complex thoughts kept swirling in Lucius's mind.

The Malfoy family head, who was always eloquent, didn't know which question to start with for the first time in all his years.

"Nice to meet you, Master Malfoy." The smiling voice coming from the two-sided mirror made Lucius startle and his thoughts returned instantly.

"You..." Lucius clenched the snake staff in his hand and resisted the urge to roar. He barely maintained the basic etiquette of the nobility and squeezed out a pale smile: "It is my honor to meet you in Britain, Mr. Grindelwald."

"Oh, Mr. Malfoy, there's no need to be so nervous. I'm just visiting a new kid's home."

Gellert's light words obviously did not soothe Lucius's tense emotions.

Lucius' thoughts rushed towards the conspiracy without looking back...

One was testing him intentionally, the other was just trying to be perfunctory, and the two of them actually started chatting with each other while holding a two-way mirror.

In this kind of environment, you can't see anything.

Ciel exhaled deeply and closed the document in his hand.

"Mr. Malfoy, may I have the honor of inviting you to dinner?"

If you have anything to say, please communicate with me face to face when the time comes. Could you please not disturb me while I am reading the documents?
