HP in the name of Slytherin

"Miss Catherine!" She also knelt on one knee, but unlike Rozier and Avery, she put her right hand on her heart, spread her left hand, and lowered her head tightly and said piously, "Agatha... Flint asks to be your squire, I will be loyal to you, protect you, and give you everything I have, please accept my loyalty and life."

This strange movement stunned both Rozier and Avery, while Belle opened her eyes slightly.

She did not dare to wait any longer, and quickly imitated Agatha's movements and knelt down, "Miss Catherine, Belle Lestrange requests to be your retinue! I will be loyal to you, please accept my loyalty. "

She only roughly knew that there was this magical ritual in ancient times, and how it was done. She had never understood it before. Now she only realized it when Agatha suddenly performed it. She didn't know how to use the oath, so she could only imitate Agatha a little bit instinctively. .

Agatha lowered her head and let out a sigh of relief as she felt a little more weight on her shoulders, hearing Catherine say, "In the name of Catherine Apep Slytherin, I accept your allegiance. "

She didn't dare to play tricks, and there were no preconditions for swearing allegiance, because she knew that Catherine had already agreed to save people. As long as she accepted her allegiance, her family would definitely be safe, and there was no need to do anything more.

In addition, Agatha knew that the Lestrange family's inheritance was much longer than hers. Although the ancient loyalty etiquette was not widely spread, a family like the Lestrange affirmed it.

By doing this, she was forcing Belle, who had been waiting and watching, not very honest but not very smart, to take a stand.

Sure enough, Belle was afraid of missing it, so she quickly followed her - but Agatha didn't expect that this Belle didn't watch the allegiance ceremony properly, and even imitated her in the oath.

Her original plan was to wait for silly Belle to do something a little tricky during the oath. Both she and Avery loved to be clever. Didn't this highlight her sincerity?

...Of course, this is fine. Belle is only loyal to Catherine. With Miss Catherine's powerful magic power, the ancient magic will surely bind Belle, just like Heyman did at the beginning. This can also be regarded as a gift from her to Catherine. A gift from the lady?

A person who is not too smart but is absolutely obedient now, a member of the Lestrange family.

Agatha didn't know if it was her own illusion, but she felt that after Catherine accepted her allegiance, she felt a sense of stability in her heart and her thinking became clearer. In the few seconds after Catherine accepted Belle's allegiance, she had completely Think through all possible developments.

Catherine also felt that instead of letting Belle live in confusion and make trouble from time to time with her "little cleverness", it would be better to take her in, train her and make use of her.

After all, he is a member of the Lestrange family. Even if the main family is in France, the British branch is not weak.

If Rozier and Avery only thought it was a special ceremony of their Flint family when Agatha pledged their allegiance, when Catherine also pulled out her wand and promised, if Rozier and Avery didn't understand anymore, then... It's just a waste of their smart little heads.

Avery was winking at Rozier when Catherine promised Belle, and when Catherine finished promising Belle, the two of them quickly knelt down on one knee.

However, before they could say their vows, Catherine patted their heads to stop them.

"Okay, words are magical. You probably need to consider the opinions of your family when making your oath, right?" Catherine said warmly, but she was actually hinting at the confused Belle.

Of course, Belle was not stupid. She immediately understood what Catherine meant. She didn't feel any regret. Originally, she was relatively marginalized at home. If she could achieve something with Catherine, her voice at home would definitely be improved.

Moreover, seeing Catherine reject Rozier and Avery, who had pledged their allegiance earlier than her, to perform the ceremony, Belle felt a strange sense of superiority. She had always been competitive, and she had vaguely argued with Catherine because Catherine was too good. I couldn't compare and felt unhappy.

Now that she saw Rozier and Avery being unlucky, she felt no resentment at all. Thanks to her quick actions, if there were more and more people loyal to Catherine in the future, she would not be able to squeeze in.

Rozier and Avery didn't think it would be that complicated, and they did have regrets, but they were very moved by Catherine's consideration for them.

The loyalty is sincere, and the need to consider the opinions of the family is also sincere, because both of them have their own families behind them, which is equivalent to relying on Catherine at home.

Catherine understood this exactly, and naturally considered it very comprehensively if she wanted them to be convinced.

Moody watched the whole process in confusion, but he subconsciously rejected these twists and turns, especially in Slytherin House. He really couldn't stand that they could translate eight hundred meanings in one sentence, and then find a sentence to cope with these eight hundred. It’s really tiring to respond with all the answers that make sense.

Look at Tom Slytherin, whose eyes are shining with longing next to Catherine. It should be said that the Slytherin family may have a natural need for this skill. Let them go, Dumbledore will definitely be able to grasp it.

At this time, Dumbledore had already moved to France, not to prepare for his return trip, but to prepare for the next International Confederation of Wizards discussion - a discussion about the transfer of Gellert Grindelwald to Hogwarts, by Dumbledore himself Recommendations for detention and custody.

Even though Hogwarts is recognized as the strongest and safest magic school in Europe, this suggestion was opposed by the vast majority of committee members.

"Mr. Dumbledore, given the close relationship between you and Mr. Grindelwald, the Committee believes that you are unable to keep a good watch on Mr. Grindelwald."

"Grindelwald is good at deceiving people. Hogwarts is full of young wizards. They are the hope for the future of the British wizarding world. He cannot be allowed to come into contact with them."

"Grindelwald is from the German wizarding community. Even if he needs to be supervised, it should be supervised by Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

"We're sorry, but we're rejecting your suggestion."

They were the ones who racked their brains to "invite" Dumbledore to take action. After Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald, they did not hesitate to push Dumbledore to the throne of heroes.

It is a pity that time has passed and people have forgotten the terror Grindelwald once caused, and naturally they have also forgotten Dumbledore of "Grindelwald".

Heroes and dragons, good bows and birds...

No, did he really forget it, or did everyone have their own considerations, choose to oppose it for the family, power, and country behind them, and turn a blind eye to the danger Dumbledore raised.

Dumbledore stood in the dark conference hall. For the sake of "freedom of speech", if there were any issues that needed to be voted on during the meeting, the proposer would stand in the center and accept the inquiry, while the others would speak behind the magic curtain.

The sound has been treated with special magic, making it impossible to tell who the speaker is.

Dumbledore stood in the center of the hall with his hands hanging. When everyone had finished speaking, he heard the expected words: "The Federation's final opinion: rejected."

Holding the letter he had just received before entering the venue, Dumbledore took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I am not making a request to you, but a request."
