[HP] Hogwarts Muggle University

Narcissa was lying on the couch in her apartment watching the trailer for the new season of "America's Next Top Model" when Lucius texted her.

She frowned and threw the phone away, deciding to hold back for now.She was not surprised that Lucius would contact her again after solving the trivial matters of the Malfoy Group. Even though the behavior of the Black family made him a little embarrassed, but with Narcissa's understanding of him, Lucius would never let her go easily. Pass the big tree of Black.

In the eyes of a businessman, profit is always paramount.

Narcissa thought for a while, grabbed her cell phone and called Bella.

"What's wrong?" She answered quickly.

"How are you doing?" Narcissa asked.

Bella was doing nail art at that time, and when she heard Narcissa's question, she frowned and waved her hands to signal the people around her to back off.

"It didn't go well," Bella admitted when she was alone in the room. "They were determined to fight to the end." The "they" here naturally referred to the parents of the three Blake sisters.

"So what is Aunt Walburga's proposal?"

"If they are willing to voluntarily give up their equity, Walburga and Olein will transfer them the three properties under their own name as compensation, and they can still use their part in the Black family trust fund money."

Narcissa pondered for a moment: "This is a good condition."

"It's because of our father's surname 'Black'." Bella then lowered her voice, "I guess there is also a reason for Andromeda, after all, Aunt Walburga did not do well in this matter. In place."

Narcissa did not comment on this: "When will you come back? Wait until the matter over there is settled?"

"No. Aunt Walburga's patience is running out," Bella said listlessly. "She's not going to waste any more time negotiating with them."

Narcissa understands.

"Siris and Regulus don't know about this yet, but they will know soon after the negotiation fails." Bella continued, "Although Sirius and I still have a score to settle, but now we It has to be unanimous."

The "unanimous external" here of course refers to the expulsion of Signus and Deruela from the Black Group.

"I understand." Narcissa understood, "Then I'll talk about it when you come back."

For Druella, this should be a rather ironic thing: Of her three daughters, Andromeda has gone far away, but the remaining two daughters are closer to Walburga, especially Bella. .Even in this family battle for power, they all defected to Walburga's side without thinking.

A few days later, Bella returned to Hogwarts as expected, and returned to people's sight as if nothing had happened.But Narcissa was not the only one who was eager to discuss things with her, and Tom was also there.

"He's suspicious." Tom rarely showed a look of anxiety.

"Who?" Bella was confused.

"Slughorn," he replied quickly, "he asked me to provide a detailed experimental report and list my team members as secondary authors in the paper."

"How did you answer?" Bella realized that something was wrong, "Did he agree to be your mentor?"

"I can only promise! What else can I say other than promise?" Tom raised his voice unbearably, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and calmed down again, "He didn't give me a specific reply, saying that he would see my experiment report. OK."

"He probably noticed something strange here..." Bella thought for a while, "There should be an experimental report in the draft paper that Rookwood got you, right?"

"No, just a brief description."

"That's good." Bella quickly came up with an idea, "You compile an experimental data according to the brief description, show it to Slughorn, and tell him that you need some time to sort out your experimental notes. — As long as there is time, it is not very difficult to forge some reports."

"Then what about the group members?" Tom asked, "I told him that I used my spare time to ask some junior students to help me with experiments..."

"You can bring Dolokhov and Luke Wood up and claim that they are members of your group." Bella thought for a moment, "But you have to find more people... Aren't you the TA of chemistry class? ? Are there any candidates in the class you're in?"

"I don't know who is willing to keep this secret for me, not to mention that Slughorn and most of the people in that class are quite familiar, and if he is not careful, he will be in the wrong. I would rather have fewer 'group members' than take risks." Risk, you understand?"

"I know." Bella knew that Tom's current situation was very bad, and she asked tentatively, "Is there anyone in that small group of people who can make do with it? Like those who don't have many friends, don't talk much, Inconspicuous, non-existent cannon fodder?"

Tom froze for a moment, and for a moment a name passed through his mind, but he quickly dismissed the idea.Bella saw it:

"Better than nothing."

"There was one," Tom admitted reluctantly, "but...he...wasn't very nice."

The author has something to say: [Mentor]: Many studies must be under the name of a qualified person to be effective.That's not much to say.
