The Daily Life of Wizards [British and American]

After submitting the 'Inheritance Appeal', Daniel has about two weeks to prepare relevant materials for the upcoming court hearing.

These materials are similar to: death certificates of the direct heirs of the Black family, relevant property certificates, heir identity certificates, blood relationship certificates, and other messy things.

Among them, there are many ambiguities.

For example, Regulus Black has always been missing but not dead; moreover, Daniel was born in the United States, and the Ministry of Magic is likely to refuse to recognize his legal inheritance status, etc.

Moreover, if the Ministry of Magic is more shameless and insists that 'the Black family is a family of war criminals, all property must be confiscated', then even if Daniel has completed all the procedures, he still cannot inherit the family property.

Fortunately, the Wizengamot's authority over the British wizarding community meant that the Ministry of Magic usually followed its judgments.

The Wizengamot court has fifty members, and as long as more than half of the members agree, Daniel can successfully inherit the Black family.

As for how to get these people.

This time, there was nothing Lucius could do, "If you're not so eager..."

He said in his usual slow tone, "I can help you deal with some people. But what you said to Sissy is also right, if you really rely on me to help you out, then, unfortunately..."

The proud platinum noble showed a malicious smile: "I will announce that the Black family has become a vassal of the Malfoy family."

After he finished speaking, he restrained his expression and returned to his reliable brother-in-law image before, saying with a little approval: "Yes, you made the right choice, Daniel."

"Thank you, but...although I don't want to help, it's okay to give me some help, right?" Daniel shrugged. He was not frightened by Lucius' sudden change of face, but asked frankly.

Lucius looked at him with a smile, thinking it was very funny.

Narcissa's distant cousin, perhaps because of the living environment in the United States, seems to never learn to talk around the corner.Every time he says something, he likes to hit a straight ball.

But paradoxically, it's not as annoying as the Gryffindor gang, because his head turns.

Daniel may not be bright enough, but he is well-bred and draws inferences from one example.Neither rely too much on others, take help from others for granted, nor act lofty and pedantic to refuse help from relatives and friends.

Sometimes, he will just rightly borrow the power of the people around him to successfully achieve his goals.

This is the first time I have seen a person with such a character, but I don't hate it.

So, Lucius happily gave him an accurate answer: "Of course, what help do you need?"

"Basic information on the fifty members of the Wizengamot, shouldn't it be difficult for Patriarch Malfoy?" Daniel asked with a smile.

"Quite simple." Lucius nodded, "When do you want it?"

"If possible, I will do it today. I only have two weeks before the trial." Daniel smiled and said the second request cautiously, "In addition, I would also like to ask you to introduce someone.

Lucius nodded calmly, and ordered the house-elf to find out all the information about the members of the Wizengamot in the study and hand it to Daniel; he turned his head and asked, "Do you want to Who can I recommend for you?"

"Hogwarts' new professor of Potions—Mr. Severus Snape." Daniel rubbed his hair, showing a silly smile with a little embarrassment, "I heard that you were with him when you were a student. friend?"

"Uh... yes." Lucius froze for a moment, with a complicated expression on his face, as if he didn't expect to hear the name of 'that eccentric student' from the mouth of an American wizard. Raising eyebrows, "You actually know him?"

"It's been famous for a long time." Daniel said excitedly, "The famous American publication "Second World Times"...specializes in recording people with special abilities...Well, no, it's news from the wizarding world...In short, it's very An authoritative publication. It is divided into an American main edition and an international sub-edition. Among them, the character column of the international sub-edition will regularly introduce some outstanding figures from various countries... Among them, there will be a very high award every year - Person of the Year prize."

"In the 236th issue, the person of the year winner is Mr. Severus Snape. His improvements and innovations in potions have brought about a revolution in the medical industry of the American wizarding world... Before that , Many people don't believe in our long-inherited potion, and think it's a deceptive thing, not scientific at all..."

It seemed that recalling the miserable experience of 'I and my friends enthusiastically recommended wizard potions, but were almost arrested by the government for selling counterfeit medicines', Daniel was depressed for a moment.

"Dear brother-in-law, you don't know. The wizarding system in the United States is different from that in the United Kingdom." He took the opportunity to flatter him.

"There are no pure-blood families with a long history in the United States, and their history books may not be as thick as the fairy tales of Xiaolong. Before the few papers published by Mr. Snape, many people thought that 'wizard potion' was a It is an obscure mystery with no scientific basis. They are more willing to believe in the self-healing function of the human body than in potions."

"It's Mr. Snape. He justified the name of the potion through reasoning and actual cases. Moreover, his improvements and innovations to the potion are very in line with the needs of modern people and have brought great benefits to patients. for his help. All should be grateful for his contribution."

Under Lucius' expressionless exterior, there are magnificent inner emotions.

Why didn't he know that 'that eccentric little boy' was so great?What kind of stupid place is the wizarding world in the United States, and it actually praises a potions professor to the sky?

In fact, it wasn't Daniel talking nonsense.

As a great nobleman, what Lucius valued were interests and power, and he knew almost nothing about the field of 'scientific research'.

Scientific research, yes, the second world of America (the world where humans with extraordinary abilities exist) has classified 'wizard potions' into the field of medical research.

And here, Severus Snape happens to be a true master.

He may not have intentionally benefited the people, but his tireless pursuit and improvement of potions has indeed brought a glimmer of dawn to the already 'declining' field of potions.

'Falling', yes, in the United States, ancient Potions is close to 'falling'.

In the face of a series of more scientific things such as genetic medicines, various gamma rays, and alien black technologies, the wizard demon who has a long heritage, but most of the precious historical materials have been lost, and has not changed the formula for hundreds of years. Medicine was originally defined as the existence of 'although effective, but outdated'.

Many people have asked: Can the potion formulas left over from more than 1000 years ago with gaps still meet the needs of modern people?

Leaving aside those extinct potions and medicinal materials, as far as modern society is concerned, the symptoms of patients are all kinds of strange and keep pace with the times, and the unchanging "ancient potion science" is worthy of respect and rare, but unfortunately, It will still be 'eliminated' by a rapidly developing society.

Until Severus Snape was born.

It can be said that this potion master level figure will make a big mark in modern history.

His improved wolfbane potion was once used on the Hulk by SHIELD's "dead horse as a living horse doctor". Afterwards, the Hulk was successfully held for about 2 minutes of sanity (maybe because the medicine is not effective enough) .

This is great news for New York, which 'gets smashed by the Hulk every now and then'.

Therefore, Severus Snape, Person of the Year in the 236th issue of "Second World Times Weekly", was given great praise by the editor of the weekly magazine.

Even, there is such an introduction in his personal profile: He created the new discipline of 'Modern Potions', opened a new chapter for the research of medicine, and is honored as the 'Father of Modern Potions' '.

Lucius was in a bad mood all over.

After listening to Daniel's long series of detailed introductions, although I don't understand many things, such as what science, what Hulk, SHIELD...

But at least one thing, he understands very well: "My family is eccentric, withdrawn, unlovable, just a teacher's elementary school boy" in other countries, and he is actually the so-called "person of the year" respected by thousands of people.

Especially that, the honor of the so-called 'Father of Modern Potions' is simply not clear!

It's kind of... kind of weird.

'However, even someone like Snape can become a man of the hour in America; what about me, a platinum nobleman with both wisdom and beauty? '

Lucius Malfoy thought to himself.

So, he coughed softly, "Uh...you American wizarding community..."

Lucius straightened his collar lightly, stroked the snake staff, stood up straight, and asked reservedly and narcissistically, "Are there any records or reports about me, hmm?"

Daniel's excited expression suddenly seemed to have been poured with cold water.

He looked at his cousin-in-law with an expression as if he had swallowed a mouse, "Uh...it doesn't seem to be..."

Lucius immediately showed a look of disgust and indifference.

Even so, Daniel really couldn't bear to tell Lucius, even though no weekly magazine had reported him...

However, the only bit of news about the platinum nobility is still there.

Existed in the 237th issue of "Second World Times"... Yes, in the anecdote and allusion of Voldemort, the man of the year one issue later than Snape, the approximate content is: [Voldemort devoted his life to the cause of pure blood , is a standard non-marriageist.He doesn't have any love affairs, and the only gossip news comes from one of his right-hand men, Lucius Malfoy. 】【This wizard, who was born in a platinum noble family, has long platinum hair and looks as handsome as an elf. He has had quite ambiguous scandals with Voldemort many times. 】【The relationship between the two was once a mystery... confusing and extremely mysterious】
