Wind and Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

Chapter 271

Before Rimbaud came back, Scott had sorted out everything in Fletcher's leather bag.

He obtained several low-quality magic props, a bunch of weird materials, and some items with unknown uses.

Except for the materials, the appearance of other things is old, and many are even damaged.

Obviously, the origin of these things is unknown.

After sorting out all the things by category, Scott waved his magic wand to repair the damage to the floor and furniture in the hut.

Rimbaud returns to the forest before Scott's dinner.

Because it can't enter the house hidden by the Fidelity Curse, it can only wander and call in the treetops.

Scott flew out on a broom to fetch it back.

While Scott eats dinner, Rimbaud tells him about Mr. Borgin's funeral.

According to Rimbaud, the first half of Mr. Bokin's funeral was very quiet.

Apart from members of the Bock family, who were expressionless and unsad, few other guests attended the funeral.

"The Bork family doesn't welcome those dishonorable guests!"

Rimbaud imitated some members of the Bork family vividly.

"Although most of the wizards that Uncle Caractacus usually comes into contact with are guys who roll in the mud, he can only represent him personally."

"I don't want him to be buried as Mr. Knockturn Lane Borgin. When he goes to see Death, he should be Kalaktakus Bock of the Bock family."

"Of course, I think those guys who are used to hiding in dark corners will not appear rashly."

In short, the Bock family stopped many wizards who wanted to attend the funeral, and only received some guests who were also pure-blood wizards.

"It seems that I miscalculated earlier." Scott said, "Even if I disguised myself as a dark wizard from Knockturn Alley, I couldn't get into the funeral."

While eating, he listened to Rimbaud's vivid narration with great interest.

"You said this is the first half of the funeral?" He asked curiously.

"That's right." Rimbaud seemed a little excited, "The second half of the funeral refers to after the burial, when all the guests have left, but those people from the Bork family almost fought each other!"

"Well……"

Scott wiped his mouth and immediately understood what was going on.

He asked casually, "Are they vying for Mr. Bokin's inheritance?"

Rimbaud said: "That's right, although they all seem to look down on Mr. Borgin's black magic shop, but everyone wants it!"

It can't understand the complicated psychology of those members of the Bock family.

"Mr. Bokin's legacy?" Scott muttered with great interest, "I think it's not easy for those guys who look down on Knockturn Alley to inherit that store."

"Why?" Rimbaud asked curiously.

Scott waved his wand to clean up the cutlery, and answered it at the same time, "I think it must be very dangerous to enter a black magic shop without the owner's permission. If they want to take over the shop safely, they must ask experts to come in." go."

Moreover, in the days since Mr. Borgin's death, it is likely that thieves have visited that store more than once.

It was Knockturn Alley, after all.

Taking a step back, even if the Bork family successfully took over the shop, it would not be regarded as inheriting Mr. Bokin's estate.

For a black magic store located in Knockturn Alley, compared to the items in that store, the channels of purchase and delivery that Mr. Bokin once mastered are fundamental.

This kind of semi-underground industry cannot survive for a long time if you are not familiar with the rules of the industry and cannot grasp useful resources.

Scott explained a lot, but Rimbaud half understood.

It is just a simple raven, unable to understand the complexity of human society.

It asked Scott, "Why are you so sure the Bocks won't inherit the store?"

Scott said: "It would be foolish for the Bock family to refuse an 'old friend' of Mr Birkin to his funeral, as they have clearly abandoned connections that belonged to Mr Birkin."

He was already sure that even if the guys from the Bork family fought for the sky, they could only get some things from the store at most.

That store was clearly not going to survive.

Of course, Scott himself is only talking on paper.

It's just... Scott, who came back to his senses, felt that he was pointing the country to his Transfiguration product, which seemed a bit sad to say...

So he quickly lost his ability to talk.

For the next two days, Scott stayed quietly in the hut to study his Transfiguration, and did not take any other actions.

Of course, the crows kept bringing him various news.

The Yaxley brothers were attacked on their doorstep, and news of the death of newly promoted dueling champion Jacques Yaxley has spread throughout the British wizarding world.

Scott felt that, if they could, the Yaxleys would not want the story to spread like this.

But the incident was so bizarre that certain all-pervasive journalists were intrigued.

That's right, it's Rita Skeeter who keeps dying but never dies.

This senior reporter seems to have a spring of writing and thinking recently, and has concocted many extremely wonderful articles in the daily and evening papers in the past two days.

She first made bold and wonderful assumptions about the poisoning incident of the Yaxley brothers from various aspects such as vendetta, love, and brothers killing each other.

Later, she connected this incident with Mr. Bokin's poisoning and death, and told a wonderful story.

Later, she connected these two incidents with Travers who died in Azkaban, and wrote an unusually tortuous and bizarre story.

Later, she added the death of Jasmine Travers.

She believed it was a plan to target the Travers family property.

It is also a sinister conspiracy that began last Christmas and spanned more than half a year.

A certain person, or a certain family, in order to obtain the property of the Travers family, first planned to get rid of Jasmine Travers, the heir of Travers, and then poisoned Azkaban to death a few months later. Travers.

It can be seen between the lines of her words that she is implying to everyone that the mastermind of the conspiracy is either the Burst family or the Foley family.

Scott followed several of her reports like a serial, and was very impressed by her unrestrained imagination.

He thought the Rita Skeeter report was so timely!

It's almost like an unconscious cooperation with Scott's plan.

Not only that, but these reports also helped Scott completely blame others for the death of Jasmine Travers before Christmas last year.

But Scott would not be grateful to this Miss Skeeter.

He just muttered in a sigh, "It seems that the legacy of the Travers family is too attractive, and now the Ministry of Magic is gone... Could it be that there is no money to prepare for next year's Quidditch World Cup?"
