Hogwarts underachiever

Thomas stood up, straightened his collar and sniffed.Anyone who knows him well knows that this is his habitual move when he becomes serious.

The thug who stood up at the same time as him was taller than Thomas, and his bald head's eyes were a little straight, with a hint of cruelty.

The two of them stood behind Ian, one on the left and one on the right.

Seeing that the huge crowd in this room was actually led by Ian standing in the middle, the people who came to visit seemed a little surprised.

But that was all. The woman's eyes quickly fell back on Penonia, who was closing her textbook and looking over here.

"Hello, little gentleman. Are you greeting me?"

"Xue Nasi" Ian was already very restrained, but his tone was not very kind when he spoke, so Lei had to remind him again.

The person who came here didn't seem too sensitive to Ian's emotions, "Introduction, I am Morena Snows, the cousin of Penonia Snows. My father and Aunt Alita are sisters. You are That Saharman?"

"Yes, Ian Saharman Penonia Saharman's brother."

The silence made the atmosphere a little weird for a while, at least judging from the number of people, Ian had the upper hand.Such a confrontation cannot make the people of the Schnauz family find more confidence.

After realizing that Ian was not going to play the groveling weakling, Morena had to take the initiative to break the silence.

"You may have misunderstood, we are not here to take her away. The girl is a lost child of the Scheanas family, and the treatment the family has owed her over the years should be made up. And as far as I'm concerned, you can't give her anything here. Provide a living environment comparable to that of an ancient family." As she spoke, Morena nodded at Penonia with a smile that she thought was friendly enough.

Thomas interrupted, "Ahem~ I don't think so."

Ian did not stop Thomas' behavior, nor did he deny his statement. "Penny has lived with me for so long. To be honest, I don't think there is anyone else who can protect him better than me."

"If you really want to protect him, I think we might have a lot in common."

"If you are really like me, why did you let her wander outside for so many years when it rained and Beaten Penny couldn't sleep? Where were you when Penny was six years old when we were stuck in the alley just for a bite to eat? Where were you when the fever continued that year?" Ian himself was a little confused as to what was wrong with him today.If you don't pay attention, your tone will become so aggressive.

Ian's hand was gently held, and Penonia came over to stand with her brother.That unanimous outward sentiment can be easily seen.

"It seems like I have become a bad person." Morena smiled politely but awkwardly, "Penonia's disappearance was a very big accident. To be precise, she was snatched away before her mother was born. When I can conceive her."

Morena tentatively moved two steps, and after finding that there was no resistance, she moved a little closer, and looked at her little sister from a relatively close distance.

As the distance got closer, Morena realized more about the beauty of this clan girl. Especially at this time, Penonia timidly raised her eyes to look at his label, which was even more pitiful.

"You must have suffered a lot." Morena said apologetically, "If such a thing hadn't happened back then, it would have been a shame to the Schnauz family. If Aunt Alita hadn't been lost, it would have been a shame. Her magical talent must be a highly valued member of the family, and her daughter"

The topic that Ray was most interested in was brought to an end, which made him a little unhappy. He asked her who snatched her from them, and asked them about the relationship between that person and Dumbledore.

"No matter what, Penoniya must go back with us today. For the Schnauz family, this is the only way for the shameful past to come to an end."

Ian was reminded by Lei to organize his words, "Is this the ending? What happened that year and who kidnapped Penny?"

"" Regarding this kind of family stain, Morena didn't want to talk more, "This is not the right place."

"But we need to know this." Ian did not intend to obey the other party's wishes and change the place to chat.

"I don't know the name of that wizard. In fact, maybe only senior officials with some seniority in the family know some of the details of this matter." Morena was a little helpless, but she didn't push too hard, "I just It can be said that over the years, the family has never given up searching, and has paid a very heavy price for it."

What a price, people are dead

Of course Ian would not say such rude words as Lei said to himself, "The news about Petunia was found first by Mr. Dumbledore. He told me that it was an old friend who cannot be named. .”

"Even the mysterious man occasionally calls himself an old friend of that gentleman. This only shows that Mr. Dumbledore's credibility and ability are recognized by the wizarding world. Besides, it is impossible for us to ask the wizard who is recognized as the most virtuous and respected by the wizarding community. "

"That guy whose name I don't know." Ian still couldn't let go of this man-made tragedy. "Is he Penonia's father?"

"We have no way of saying yes or no, but judging from Penonia's magical talent, she must have inherited her mother's talent."

Ian clearly understood that the information that could be obtained from the woman in front of him was very limited.

"I heard you call her Penny. Is this your life? Can I call you that too?" Morena did not give up trying to get close to Penonia.

But Penonia just shook her head.

"Penny is a name that only Ian can call." Thomas explained on his behalf.

Morena glared at Thomas, tired of a Muggle's repeated interruptions.

"So what exactly do you think? With your intelligence, you should know that now that we are here, we will not be willing to go back empty-handed." Realizing that Penoniya had made up her mind and would not talk to herself, Morena had to turn her gaze again. On Ian's body.

Ian nodded slowly and hard. The difficulties so far were more just to test the Schnauz family's attitude towards this extra child. "The start of school is not too far away. In the last few weeks, It might be appropriate to meet the elders in the family. Can I follow?"

"Maybe you don't know the purpose of my visit this time." Morena hesitated for a moment, and after considering Ian's rationality, she believed that her proposal might still be approved.

At the woman's command, a box was carried out, and when opened, a piece of gold was revealed.

"We can pay you monetary compensation. Maybe you will agree to completely return Penoniya to the Schnauz family from today on. We can even make concessions and will not force Penoniya to change back until she agrees. Last name."

Did such a negotiation finally occur? Ian's mood returned to absolute calmness in just a few breaths.

He glanced at the treasure box indifferently and felt the money-loving sister's hand clasping his own.
