HP's Platinum Temptation

Because the entertainment items at school are very limited, most Hogwarts students have the habit of subscribing to the Daily Prophet.

It was still early when Clarence and Jeffrey hurried to the auditorium.But as soon as they entered the door, the two could clearly feel that almost all the students in the auditorium were looking at them, and their eyes were very complicated.

Under the pressure of everyone's attention, the two moved to the long table of their academy.Asking for a copy of the Daily Prophet from the active owl, Clarence read it carefully.

The most obvious thing on the front page is a headline in a huge font: "The Lambert family is a Muggle noble?" The big news headline changed after a slight pause: "A Huge Conspiracy!"

Below the title, there is a very large photo, which takes up about half of the front page.The angle of this photo was obviously taken secretly from a corner, the picture is not very clear, and it was blocked by a third of the corner where the reporter was hiding.

On the rest of the dynamic screen, Clarence can roughly recognize that his father, the Duke of Rezland, and his eldest brother, Prince Lambert, are smiling at the entrance of the Queen's banquet with two Muggle nobles. chat scene.

Because it was night, the light in the photo was not very bright, and it could only be discerned that it was a certain Muggle residence.

The Daily Prophet reported on matters related to the Lambert family and the business alliance in the next four pages.And display news written by a particular contributor.

"As you can see, the people in this photo are the Muggle nobles, the Duke of Rezland and Prince Lambert. At the same time, Mr. Lambert, the Deputy Director of our Department of Magical Law Enforcement, and his eldest son. In addition After investigation, the two characters have been confirmed to be Muggle nobles."

"According to our reporter's understanding, the leader of the business alliance, the Deputy Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement of our Ministry of Magic, had inherited the title of Muggle nobleman before 1970, that is, Lei, who is currently well-known in the Muggle world. The Duke of Zilan. As early as 1980, Terrence Lambert, the eldest son of the Lambert family, married the Muggle princess. The two lived together in the magic manor of the Lambert family."

"The Lambert family is as well-known in the Muggle world as it is in the wizarding world. The Lambert family is currently one of the most famous powerful families in the Muggle world, controlling an important Muggle economic industry. The Duke of Rezland and Lambert The Prince often attends various events in the Muggle aristocratic circle."

"Deputy Director Lambert, while promoting to us the concept that Muggles deserve attention, has a large number of shops in the Muggle world that may expose the existence of wizards."

"We have reason to believe that most of the British Muggle nobles have already learned about the wizarding world from His Excellency the Deputy Director."

"Scaremongering, or sincere advice? The Lambert family has betrayed the wizarding world."

"It is understood that today, the Ministry of Magic will issue an inquiry to His Excellency the Deputy Director for the crime of leaking information about the wizarding world and violating the International Statute of Secrecy. It is very likely that a hearing will be held on his actions. If the charges are convicted, Your Excellency the Deputy Director Will be dismissed from office and sent to Azkaban Prison."

"A few days ago, it was confirmed that the Hall family belonged to the core family of the business alliance and was removed from the Pure Blood Alliance. Prior to this, the Hall family had been lurking in the Pure Blood Alliance, providing a lot of information for the competition between the two."

"It has been confirmed from the German Ministry of Magic that Mr. Winter, the chief advisor of the Business Alliance who claims to be from Germany, has not been found. It is suspected that all family members of the Business Alliance have been deceived by the Lambert family."

"The purpose of the Lambert family is to destroy the British wizarding world?"

"The Pure Blood Alliance declares that it will unconditionally accept all families who have been deceived by the Lambert family."

By the time Clarence finished reading all the relevant reports, the students had basically arrived in the auditorium.Huge discussions filled the huge auditorium.

It must be admitted that Medici was far behind Lucius in terms of means and forbearance.At least, Medici has never been able to bring such a great deal of attention and discussion to the business alliance.

It was only last night that Emilia notified that Lucius's behavior of inquiring about information in the Muggle world was exposed.Early this morning, all the information was published in the newspapers.It can be guessed that Lucius realized that his actions were hindered and knew that his secret preparations had been exposed, so he simply disclosed all the existing information.

The situation of the Lambert family is a secret to most members of the business alliance.It is estimated that Lucius also found a way to find out this point, so in public opinion, only the Lambert family was targeted, and all other families were classified as 'lost lambs'.Not only can it cause trouble for the Lambert family, but it can also create an excellent social atmosphere for alienating business alliances.

In the end, the false identity information of Mr. Winter, the alliance consultant, was thrown out to make everyone more believe in the scam.It has to be said that in the hands of Lucius, the limited information was almost used to the extreme.

If it weren't for the limited influence of these pure-blood families in the Muggle world, such a long time would have been enough for Lucius to find more information.

However, the crimes currently held against the Lambert family are enough to bring huge troubles to the business alliance.

Not to mention the crisis of public trust, Clarence estimated that after the newspaper was published this morning, the inquiry emails sent by various member families to Old Lister and Mrs. Collins were enough to consume a whole day.

Thinking of this, Clarence couldn't help but praise Lucius in his heart.This move was quite beautiful.If the Lambert family can't react quickly, the subsequent situation will definitely only make people more busy.

"What are we going to do about this?" Jeffrey asked worriedly.He and Clarence arrived at the auditorium at the same time, but compared to Clarence who kept quiet and read the newspaper, he was not so calm. He kept observing the reactions and discussions of the students around him, and stared back several times Little Medici with a playful expression.

"What should I do?" Clarence asked suspiciously.

"Isn't the Lambert family mentioned in this newspaper your family? Why are you not in a hurry? This is a felony that will lead to Azkaban." Jeffrey said anxiously.

"Your family was also mentioned above,' the Riester family is a traditional neutral pure-blood family. In this incident, they were one of the first victims of being deceived by the Lambert family. The opportunity to talk to Chief Te, but it has not been successful so far. But Chief List did not deny being deceived.', look, why are you not in a hurry for your own home?" Clarence said, flicking the newspaper with his fingers.

"Oh, damn being deceived, that reporter must have made it up. How could it be a deception." Jeffrey said angrily, "This is slander! He must have never even seen my father's face."

"Since you also know that many of the contents in the newspaper are fabricated by reporters, why are you worried?" Clarence refolded the newspaper and handed it to Jeffrey: "Do you want to read it? Almost all the business alliance The names of the major families are all mentioned."

"What time is it, and I'm still reading the newspaper." Jeffrey snatched the newspaper from Clarence's hand and fell to the side.

"Hey, what's the rush? Do you think Mr. Hall and Assistant Coach Lambert care about this?" Clarence patted Jeffrey on the shoulder nonchalantly, then held up his pumpkin juice, He exchanged a greeting look with Dana who happened to be looking over not far away: "Eat your breakfast with peace of mind."

At this time, not only the students of Slytherin, but most of the students in the whole school were basically silently paying attention to the reactions of the people involved in the incident, Theodore, Dana Hall, Clarence, and Jeffrey.

But not only Dana and Clarence looked relaxed, even Theodore was talking and laughing with Professor Meade beside him as if he didn't know the situation at all.It was as if such a large-scale report had nothing to do with any of them or Nat.

"Mr. Lambert seems to have confidence in his family?" Wendell, who usually sat next to Clarence, was no exception today.After discovering how relaxed and comfortable Clarence and Dana were, his tone was as gentle as if he was asking what the weather was like today.

"Oh, I don't know much about the situation at home. I just saw the news." Clarence's gaze immediately shifted from Jeffrey to Wendell: "Does Mr. Dalton have any thoughts on this? "

"Obviously someone is targeting the business alliance. But other than that, I have no other ideas." Wendell's tone was very casual: "Your Excellency, Deputy Director, seems to be in a lot of trouble."

"Maybe it will be mentioned in the letter I get this week." Clarence shrugged.

"Maybe you can receive it tomorrow, if I let me guess." Wendell withdrew his gaze from Clarence: "As long as Muggles don't destroy the entire wizarding world overnight."

"I don't think this is a funny joke." Clarence replied with a smile: "Mr. Dalton doesn't seem to care much about this news either? Could it be that he has heard of it before?"

"For me, this crime is a bit big." Wendell shook his head: "These things don't have much impact on a neutral family. I'm going to graduate this year, but when I'm involved in family affairs, I heard It’s just some similar rumors. You can’t take it seriously when you hear it, right?”

"That's right." Clarence nodded, ending the conversation with Wendell.

Probably because Theodore and Clarence's reputation in Hogwarts is not bad, most of the students just sent them expressions of curiosity or confusion, without embarrassing them.

But outside of Hogwarts, this report has caused huge waves.

When the Duke of Razlan got up, countless Howler letters crowded into Lambert Manor like moths to a flame.
