HP's Platinum Temptation

Regarding the fact that he only received a plaintive reply from Draco about the date invitation he sent out, Clarence didn't look sad at all, instead he smiled.

"You seem to be in a good mood. Shouldn't you feel sad that you haven't received a reply from the other party?" After breakfast, Clarence and Terrence entered the study one after another.

Since the Duke of Rezlan had to go to work at the Ministry of Magic, he had not been at home during the day on weekdays since more than a month ago.And Theodore, who has already graduated and should be at home, went back to Hogwarts to apply for a job today.

"It's nothing to be sad about, at least I have received a reply from Xiaolong, isn't it?" Clarence wrote his reply to Draco on the letter paper with a smile on his face, and at the same time answered Terrence's question: " And it was only because I wrote to Xiaolong that I remembered that I could write to Lucius."

"Speaking of which, I'm also very curious about this question. Obviously your age can provide you with the best protection. I think even if they really suspect our family in the future, before Theodore and I get rid of the suspicion, It's impossible for them to suspect you! Why did you deliberately let Malfoy find out that you are extraordinary? At least I don't think that a normal 12-year-old child can persist like you so perseveringly to someone who won't respond to you Write a letter." Terrence pouted, expressing his disapproval in a lazy tone.

"It's okay. Age can't protect me forever. I will grow up too. We can't be sure when they will start to suspect that Winter is the leader, and they will suspect it to several members of our family. If it is five years later What? If I was already 17 years old, I would be suspected." Clarence spread his hands to the sky.

"Then shouldn't you attract Malfoy's attention now?"

"What do you think Theodore would think if such a man wrote to him?"

"I must think that the other party likes me." Terrence said without hesitation.

"Then do you think Malfoy's thinking will be as simple and direct as Theodore's?" Clarence continued to induce without raising his head.

"Definitely not." Terrence immediately reacted, and his tone became quick and hasty: "You mean, it is because he thinks a lot, so he might not believe your true and direct thoughts?"

"That's right, because he won't believe anything simply because of his age. And I keep getting replies from Draco, how much information do you think it contains?" Clarence couldn't help but twitched. Up, eyes bright.

"I don't understand. Your plan is too brain-intensive to figure out. I don't plan to spend time on it. In short, you just know what you are doing." Terrence waved his hand, refusing to delve deeper into this issue: "By the way, it's okay for Theodore to apply for the job. Does it really matter if we don't have him with him? There are no candidates for Muggle Studies. Will the headmaster agree to ask for another teaching assistant?"

"Don't worry, Professor Meade is looking for Theodore because he wants to retire. The teaching assistant is still necessary. And, I told Theodore, if the principal hesitates, I will marry you and Emilia Tell him about it. Guaranteed success."

"What?" Terrence almost choked on his own saliva: "Are you sure you can tell the principal?"

"Sooner or later, we need to know. Why don't you take the initiative to tell him, in exchange for the principal's trust. Our family's situation may not be hidden for too long." Clarence said indifferently: "We need time, so, in Before someone announces it for us, the longer the better. But that does not mean that there will be a fatal blow if it is released in advance. By the way, is that thing finished?"

"It's almost the end stage. Do you need to use it immediately? I can also rush them." Terrence asked immediately.

"No, let's put it aside for now. Our own industry can move over slowly first. The later the overall mobilization starts, the better. According to Mr. Hall's information, their current energy may be focused on investigating Mr. Winter. Lucius already knew about our closeness to Muggles, so he probably guessed that Collins' problem was solved through Muggle channels. We must guard against this first. If they find a way to find out about our family's relationship with Muggles If you have a background in the world, it may not be difficult to find out the result."

"Is that okay? If this is exposed in the wizarding world, it may cause wizards to backlash." Terrence asked nervously: "Wizards have always had a bad attitude towards Muggles."

"We still have a lot of countermeasures. As long as we have enough preparations, we are ready to accept the move at any time. If the other party does nothing, it is the best. We just wait quietly is the best It's over." Clarence replied confidently.

Because of the complete failure of Collins' inheritance, the Pure Blood Alliance's plan to weaken and disintegrate the Business Alliance in one fell swoop was completely aborted.For this reason, Medici can only choose to attack on the Muggle elements of the commercial alliance's products.

The entire summer vacation passed in an atmosphere where the Business Alliance and the Pure Blood Alliance were arguing about this issue in the major media.

At the beginning, the public was still thinking about it, and they would discuss it after dinner.Some radical wizards also jumped out and publicly declared that they would never use any commercial alliance products again.The sales of the business alliance were also affected for a time and showed a significant decline.

But over time, the market shares of the two alliances have returned to a near-balanced position.

After all, the domain currently being contested by the two alliances is a must for wizarding life.To put it bluntly, a pumpkin that ripens from a Muggle farm is no different from the pure-wizard product advertised by the Pure-Blood Federation.

In fact, most don't care what land their pumpkins grow on, as long as they're non-toxic and cheap.The source of this issue is really nothing to care about.The business alliance has indeed always had an advantage in product prices.

Because of the information provided by the Hall family, the business alliance can grasp every offensive material of the pure blood alliance in advance.Eventually the issue of Muggle elements faded away.

In the business alliance, Mrs. Collins, as Mr. Collins recommended in the letter, actually has great leadership skills.After she was completely persuaded by Clarence, relying on her own ability and her own charm, she not only stabilized the alliance members who were originally assigned to Collins to contact, but also brought new participants to the alliance, even foreign ones. resource.

This was something Clarence hadn't expected either.For the development of the business alliance, after Mrs. Collins' ability was recognized, everyone was happy to see it succeed.

On the Hogwarts side, when Dumbledore introduced Theodore to everyone at the opening dinner for the second year, the entire auditorium became a sensation.This was almost the first time in nearly a hundred years that a member of a pure-blood family was a teacher of Muggle Studies.

Theodore's choice of work after graduation also exactly echoes the emphasis on Muggles advocated by the Business Alliance in the media.Although the public has mixed opinions about this choice of the Lambert family, Theodore's matter still helps the business alliance gain a lot of points in terms of public relations.

Influenced by this public opinion, as well as the objective results achieved by the Violet Club last semester.The Violet Club, still under the leadership of Theodore, ushered in a peak of applications for membership in the first month of school.

Against the backdrop of Theodore's high-profile performance, Clarence's performance at the school this school year is much more low-key than his first year.Apart from continuing to be the team leader of the second grade of the Violet Club, he hardly participated in any activities.Even the emails that arrived every day last year have become one a week, and obviously, they are just greetings from family members.

Many students commented that since the breakthrough point of the business alliance this year was changed to Theodore, Clarence naturally received a cold reception.

However, in view of the current unstoppable momentum of the business alliance and Clarence's unshakable dominance in academic performance.The position of second-year leader of Slytherin House is also firmly in Clarence's hands.The situation of little Mr. Medici at the Academy was not as good as it had been before.

And Clarence himself, after pestering Mr. Abelson to agree, got all the notes and old textbooks that Professor Horney left in school, as expected.The knowledge of ancient runes explained here made Clarence feel like a treasure, and he spent almost all his spare time on it.

It would be good news for Clarence that the pure-blood alliance's offensive was so weak.This means that he doesn't need to spend too much time thinking about how to deal with the opponent's new moves.

However, until the Christmas holiday, when the Pure Blood Alliance still did not have any strong response, Clarence finally had no way to convince himself to be optimistic.

"Mr. Hall said that in the past six months, Mr. Malfoy has not been present at the Pure-Blood Alliance gatherings. He appeared occasionally and never took the initiative to express any opinions." Yvette's report has always shown Malfoy's inaction.It seemed that after Lucius's incident with Mrs. Collins, he was completely out of it.

However, it is absolutely impossible for Clarence to believe that Lucius will let the business alliance grow without doing anything.

For such a long time, Lucius would have no reaction, and there would only be one situation, which was the calm before the storm.

Sure enough, the hurricane that Lucius brewed quickly swept through the entire business alliance after New Year's Day.

"Clay, Madam Thatcher just received news that a wizard was trying to inquire about the details of the Lambert family through the Muggle government, but she found out and stopped her. The other party failed. " Emilia was very anxious to inform Clarence of the news in the middle of the night: "Terrence reminds you to pay attention!"

And in the early morning of the second day after receiving Emilia's news, before Clarence left his bed, he was woken up by Yvette's urgent call from his pocket watch: "Emergency!!! Hurry up!" Check out today's Daily Prophet!!!"
