Wind and Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

Chapter 272

In Scott's judgment, Rita Skeeter was undoubtedly a pro-Ministry reporter.

This can be seen from the articles she has published in the past.

Anyone who is good at summarizing will find that this lady reporter who has no taboos, who dares to write, and is never afraid of offending anyone, actually rarely writes articles criticizing the Ministry of Magic.

Even if there is a part, the intensity of the attack is only mild, and it is not consistent with her level of performance on other topics.

With such a premise, the real purpose of this lady reporter's frequent publication of conspiracy theories about Travers' inheritance in the past two days is very intriguing.

Although the struggle between the three pure-blood families Yaxley, Burst, and Foley for the succession of the Travers family has been hidden under water and has never been reported by any media, this matter is not a real secret.

In the magic world, wizards with a certain background should know that this incident is the most attention-grabbing event in the British magic world recently.

A pure-blooded family that has lost an heir and ranks among the 28 holy clans, its legacy is of course particularly enviable.

Even other pure-blood families belonging to the 28 holy clan would be jealous of this.

Not to mention those industries that belong to the scope of property, what is more enviable is of course the magical heritage of the Travers family.

The so-called 28 holy families refer to the 20 British wizarding families who maintained "true pure blood" until the 30s, identified by the author of the book "Pure Blood List" Cantanclus Knott.

But the book has not been universally recognized in the British wizarding world.

Some wizards believe that the so-called "true pure blood" does not actually exist. For a long time, wizard families have more or less mixed with Muggle blood.

However, it is generally recognized by British wizards that any family that is included in the book "Pure Blood List" by Cantanclus Knott must have a long history and inherit a profound magical background.

The so-called magic background refers to the inheritance of magic skills and powerful magic items owned by the family.

In terms of magic items, Scott only knows part of the inheritance of the Travers family.

The [truncated arm bone] that has the function of cutting off the contract in his hand, and the cursed item that Jasmine Travers said before he died.

According to her, as long as Scott himself admitted that he killed her, the curse item would take effect and virtually kill Scott.

Needless to say, these two props are already very powerful magic items.

In terms of skills, there are also traces of the magical skills passed down by these families.

Of course, the most famous among them is the wand making craftsmanship inherited by the Ollivander family.

The skills passed down by other families may not be as famous as Ollivander, but they all have their own uniqueness.

For example, the Weasley family, Scott speculates that they may have a unique set of magic item production and modification technology that is different from traditional alchemy.

Scott knew very well that the prank props that Fred and George were tinkering with could not be easily realized with the knowledge learned in school, not to mention that these two guys did not study hard in school.

There is also the flying car transformed by their father Arthur. The functionality of that car is not mentioned for the time being, but its simple self-thinking is enough to make people amazing.

Scott once talked with Professor Flitwick about this topic, and Professor Flitwick briefly introduced some traditional strengths of the family to him.

For example, the Black family has a relatively simple transformation method for Animagus, the Slughorn family is always keen to recognize whether a little wizard can achieve success in the future, and the Greengrass family has long been Conducting blood research secretly, the Nott family was once an authority on the history of magic in Britain...

Of course, there are still many pure-blood families who are good at black magic, which makes their inheritance always secretive and never revealed easily.

Since the Yaxley family has frequently talked about Travers recently, Scott, who instructed the crow to monitor them, already knows the magic skills inherited by the Travers family.

In fact, their inheritance is reflected in Jasmine Travers——

Travers is good at a kind of manipulative magic that is subtle and subtle.

Unlike the direct and brutal Imperius Curse, this kind of magic is even without trace, and the manipulated person will identify with the caster from the bottom of their hearts, and even voluntarily dedicate everything to it.

This also explains why Jasmine Travers can single-handedly instigate a large group of girls of the same age.

Some of those girls still think about her to this day.

At the age of Jasmine Travers, she should only have superficial knowledge of this kind of magic, but she has already achieved this level, one can imagine how terrifying this kind of magic is.

Of course, this kind of magic is not unsolvable, and wizards who have learned Occlumency can easily resist it.

What's really scary about it is that it can target unsuspecting people without a trace.

A few crows chirped to interrupt Scott's divergent thinking. He glanced at the few black crows shuttling through the green shade outside the window, and returned his attention to the newspaper in his hand.

The articles published by Rita Skeeter in the past two days seem to be consistently eye-catching, no matter how exaggerated or written, but in Scott's eyes, her purpose is actually very clear.

At this time, Rita Skeeter's article's invisible accusation against the Burster and Foley families can be said to be just right.

After the death of Jake Yaxley, the Yaxley family has been unable to come up with a new heir to the Travers family on the premise of ensuring their own inheritance.

And as long as they pour some dirty water on the two families of Burstrod and Foley, and buckle the shit pot, the Ministry of Magic can justly deprive them of the right to compete to inherit the Travers family.

Once it reaches that point, the Travers family, which has no blood inheritance at all, is the purse of the Ministry of Magic.

Of course, the Ministry of Magic that Scott had in mind didn't simply refer to someone, such as Minister Fudge.

The Ministry of Magic here represents the interests of a large group of people.

It even includes other pure-blood families who had no relationship with the Travers family in modern times, which made them unable to compete for the Travers inheritance, and their allies.

"This is really wonderful."

Scott's eyes brightened.

As an unknown little pusher, he never thought that things would develop to this point.

It was much more lively than he had originally imagined.

Scott, who originally planned to return to Madrid in advance, did not want to leave the UK so soon because he was afraid of making too many mistakes and exposing himself.

He wanted to watch the excitement up close, and hoped that some people would break each other's minds.
