HP's Platinum Temptation

All this was told by the Book of Time to Clarence.Since the Hogwarts student list is just a projection and can have such a powerful function, the Book of Time is naturally more powerful.

Through the Book of Time, Clarence was able to know the general situation of all wizards living in the UK.It consumes a certain amount of magic power, and can also locate a certain wizard.In addition, a large amount of magic power can be input in a short period of time, making the Book of Time display wizards and magical creatures within a certain radius around it.Although there are still many functions to be developed in the Book of Time, the few known functions have made Clarence feel like a treasure.

With the help of the Book of Time, Clarence was finally able to recruit wizard talents and promote industrial technology research in cooperation with the Queen.Probably, this is why the queen gave the Book of Time to the Lambert family at this time!

After Easter in 1980, with the help of the Book of Time, the Lambert family recruited the first batch of ordinary wizards to join in the production and development.The products of the fusion industry gradually fall from conception to practice.Three months later, the Lambert family's joint royal industry opened its first family specialty store in London.Some wizard potion products with weakened medicinal effects will be sold here, such as special wound medicines and antidotes for different situations.

On the other hand, with the addition of this group of wizards, the Lambert family reached out for the first time and slowly penetrated into the business circle of the wizarding world.Due to the impact of the war, many wizards' small shops have experienced an existential crisis.The Lambert family did not come forward directly, but through the recruited wizards, they quietly scattered and acquired some small shops that could not continue to operate.Due to the influence of the Dark Lord, Clarence dared not reveal any signal with Muggle traces.Most of these acquired stores are clothing and food.Basically, the original business situation is not changed, but the business is maintained, and at the same time, it becomes the source of information for the Lambert family's wizarding world.

In the spring of 1981, after studying some Muggle ordnance provided by the Muggle government, wizard engineers developed the first batch of magical defense equipment.Although rough and cumbersome, these defensive facilities can indeed have an obvious defensive effect on the aftermath of magic without the need for continuous maintenance by wizards.The disadvantage is that after each activation takes effect, wizard engineers need to repair and inject energy before it can be used again.

Mrs. Thatcher also probably knew the tension in the wizarding world. More and more strange property losses were discovered in the Muggle world, and it was finally confirmed by the wizards under the Lambert family that they were traces of battles belonging to wizards.Therefore, unable to wait for the optimization of the engineers, Mrs. Thatcher customized a batch of such defense settings to the Lambert Factory and installed them on some important Muggle buildings.

Facts have proved that a woman's intuition is sometimes really scary accurate.

Around the end of May 1981, a large wizarding battle broke out near an orphanage in the suburbs of London.There is also the largest nursing home in London near the battle site.The people living in it are all patients with special status among Muggles.The sanatorium was also fortified by Mrs Thatcher.

After the battle, both sides quickly retreated because of the attention of the Muggles. No wizard noticed that the sanatorium was only slightly damaged compared to other buildings farther away from the battle site.The patients inside only felt the violent sound and vibration that night, but there were no casualties.This incident made Mrs. Thatcher furious, and she affirmed the role of the defense equipment, and provided more ordnance information for the Lambert factory for research.

(This battle seems to have been mentioned in some fan fictions, as James Potter’s third victory over Voldemort, but I forgot whether there is such a paragraph in the original text, it is considered as a fabrication for the plot. )

According to the information sent back by people lurking in the wizarding world, as well as the letters sent back by Theodore from the school, the Lambert family gradually kept up with the news of the wizarding world.

On September 1981, 9, Severus Snape, a man who had only graduated in Theodore's second year, became the head of Slytherin and the professor of Potions three years after graduation.

On October 1981, 10, the Dark Lord was last seen in Godric's Hollow before disappearing.

On November 1981, 11, the Ministry of Magic announced that due to the betrayal of Sirius Black, the Dark Lord went to Godric's Hollow to kill James Potter and Lily Potter, but Harry, the one-year-old child of the Potter family, Potter survived and defeated the Dark Lord, becoming the savior of the wizarding world.As a hateful traitor, Sirius Black created an explosion with a magic wand on a Muggle street, killing 1 Muggles and 12 wizard Peter Pedilu, and was finally captured by the Ministry of Magic and thrown into Azka class prison.

The Dark Lord's defeat came a bit suddenly, and at first, people couldn't react.But with the disappearance of the Dark Lord, the Death Eaters were losing ground in the battle against the Order of the Phoenix, and a large number of Death Eaters were killed or captured.Peace has finally come to the wizarding world of Britain after years of war.

Dumbledore issued a statement after the war that Harry Potter, the savior, was properly protected and lived a life like a prince.

For ordinary wizards, the wizarding world has since returned to prosperity.And in places unknown to them, the activities of the Death Eaters remained unsolved.

Lucius Malfoy, an important figure among the Death Eaters under the Dark Lord, claimed that he was controlled by the Imperius Curse, and finally escaped the crime, and the Malfoy family was whitewashed.

However, all of this was not the Duke of Rezlan's greatest concern.

On Christmas Eve in December 1981, the Lambert Manor reopened, and the Lambert family spent a happy Christmas here.

With the support of the Muggle royal family, Lambert contacted the goblins of Gringotts. After a secret agreement, the Lambert family became the only collaborators for Gringotts to exchange Muggle coins.

Afterwards, the Lambert family kept silent, but the actions of acquiring and integrating the wizarding industry they owned were accelerating.Before we knew it, wizarding products with subtle Muggle elements appeared on the market and circulated.

All the property and communication of the Lambert family in the wizarding world are managed by Clarence himself, after all, only he can use the Book of Time.But 11 years old is not a convincing appearance, so the consensus is that Clarence can use aging drugs if necessary to make himself appear to be about Terrence's age.

It is very surprising that after taking the aging agent, apart from the difference in temperament between the two and the fact that Clarence is taller than Terrence, Clarence's appearance happens to be similar to that of his elder brother Terrence is very similar.In addition to the Muggle world, Terrence is the ostensible ruler of the Lambert family.So Clarence didn't change his appearance much, but simply changed the color of his hair and eyes.

This discovery made Clarence think he was lucky. At the same time, he received a roaring letter from Theodore, because he finally tragically became the shortest of the three brothers.And that's exactly what he's been trying to avoid for years.

Finally, he strongly stated that the aging agent he used must be a counterfeit and shoddy product, and the result is not credible.

Part of the Lambert family's funds were converted into Galleons and began to be imported into the wizarding society.Prior to this, with the help of the Book of Time and the support of the Muggle government, Clarence acquired many old houses that were not used by anyone all the year round, or even invisible. Mansion.According to the aura left by these mansions, Clarence contacted many pure-blood wizard families that had declined like the former Lambert family.

In June 1982, after a long period of negotiations, Clarence signed a covenant of cooperation with several wizarding and aristocratic families that had already been contacted. These families finally agreed with Clarence’s business philosophy of combining Muggle elements with wizarding products. formed a business alliance.Clarence returned the ancient mansions accidentally lost by these noble ancestors free of charge, and won the friendship of the nobles.

After briefly showing the industry currently controlled by the Lambert family, these families hastily agreed to the cooperation plan.As a result, large and small properties were hung under the names of different families.

Overnight, those ancient families in the wizarding world who had been hidden for many years appeared in the sight of everyone one after another as if they were stimulated.They more or less controlled some industries, and began to actively fight for the right to speak in the wizarding world.

Of course, standing behind them is the Lambert family, which is still not too ostentatious.In this wave of comebacks where the pure-blood families are scrambling to be the first, the Lambert family just followed the trend and played the role of a follower of equal strength.The arrogance of these ancient families may have been smoothed down by years of decline. There is not much objection to the actual leadership of the Lambert family. Even after regaining the manor, these ancient families gave Clarence Many exquisite items preserved in the manor came.This is a harvest that Clarence did not expect.

One morning in mid-July 1982, a special letter was owled to the Lambert estate.

"Clay! Clay! It's your admission notice! Hogwarts notice! It seems that you are going to Hogwarts with me this year." Before breakfast, Theodore, who was the first to arrive at the restaurant, saw Letters from everyone that the house-elf put on the table.So when Clarence first arrived at the restaurant, he heard Theodore's excited voice.

"Yes, it was exactly as we expected. It was sent this year." The Duchess has always been a concerned mother who puts her children first.Although Clarence, who has taken over as patriarch, doesn't need her to worry much.But the moment her child received the Hogwarts admission notice, she still couldn't help being extremely proud.This is probably the beautiful emotion that the mother of all little wizards cannot avoid.

"Finally, our little Clay is going to enter Hogwarts too. Gretchen, I think we can have a little celebration today." The Duke of Rezlan also beamed with joy.The Duke of Rezland, who has stepped down as the patriarch of the Lambert family, has also become much gentler towards all his children. Mr. Lambert, who never used to call family members by nicknames, has finally begun to use these terms that represent intimacy. call.

Clarence has long known from the Book of Time that he will receive a notice in the near future.But the moment he received the notice from Theodore, he still couldn't help the excitement in his heart.After coming to this world for 11 years, he finally officially got the entrance ticket to the wizarding world.
