The Daily Life of Wizards [British and American]

"You really ignore our minister." Lucius said in a mocking tone, but said in a mocking tone: "Actually, for Fudge, you only need to do two things well."

Danielton became interested, and he asked curiously, "Which two?"

"First, don't threaten his ministerial position; second, make money, remember to give him some benefits, it's that simple." Lucius replied: "I don't know if you have noticed, my dear Daniel, Your current reputation is really good. You pay your employees really high salaries, and you even provide him with insurance? It's called insurance... Am I right? You have so many new gadgets! But It really works, and many wizards have become your supporters. Recently, even some staff in the Ministry of Magic have been discussing these things. They all feel that it is better to apply for a job in your company than to waste their time in the Ministry of Magic. better job..."

"Moreover, in many newspapers and magazines such as "Wizard Weekly", in the polls about the current 'Most Popular Wizard', you always have a high number of votes ahead of other candidates. So, this is probably what Fudge wants to find you The cause of the trouble."

When Lucius said this, he tapped the table lightly with a quill, thought for a while, and then said: "Actually, I understand Fudge very well. His position as minister came by coincidence. Now He doesn't have enough prestige, and he doesn't have much power in his hands, and the reason why he can secure the post of minister is all due to the weak balance formed by the tug-of-war between us and Gryffindor."

"At a time like this, he's already very agitated, and you still popped up to provoke him. Whoever it is, can't pretend to be generous to you, not to mention, he is a villain himself."

"You say that, I can understand it." Daniel suddenly laughed mockingly, "In short, I am too high-profile, right?"

"You're wrong!" Lucius Malfoy immediately said in a tone of disapproval: "Daniel, wouldn't the robbers rob you because you were poor? Obviously not. Appropriate low-key and showing weakness are one thing." Art, but it’s not for you to use it all the time. To give another example, do you think if I went to Fuji to propose a plan, would he refute me so directly?”

"Hmm... I don't know, it won't be very direct, but he probably will evade it too?" Daniel replied thoughtfully.

"Yes, prevarication. But he won't, and dare not refuse me directly." Malfoy said almost arrogantly.

He raised his head, the long light blond hair on the back of his head was neatly groomed, not a single strand of hair was misplaced, even if he was at home, his face was as handsome and shining as if he had taken the glory potion.

He asked triumphantly: "Merlin, don't I usually seem low-key? But why doesn't he dare to treat me like this? What is the difference between you and me?"

Daniel was silent for a moment.

"Fudge thinks you are weak and can be bullied." Lucius said sharply: "Many wizards praise you for being friendly and kind, which is good. But you have forgotten one thing, you are no longer the foreign wizard who first came to England, you He is the head of the Black family. Like Malfoy, the Black family is a big family with a long history in the wizarding world. Occasionally, put on your aristocratic airs!"

He said with a slight sigh: "My dear Daniel, you let Fudge take you lightly."

"You're right." Daniel had to admit that Lucius' words were correct.

There are always some people in this world who regard the friendliness and demeanor of others as a sign of weakness and deceit.

"Thank you, Lucius." Daniel said with a sigh, "I hate thinking about this kind of thing."

"You're welcome." Lucius said with a slight smile, and then warned pointedly: "But you have to get used to it, Master Black."

At the same time, Remus Lupine and Sirius Black were also discussing the new head of the Black family.

They lived with Harry at 5 Privet Drive in Little Whinging, next door to Harry's aunt, the Dursleys.

The interior of this newly rented house has been decorated by them in a very warm and childlike way. At this time, Harry was taking a nap in the bedroom because he was tired from playing with the big dog.

"Have you never heard of him before? Don't you know his mother?"

On the one hand, Remus looked at Harry who was taking a nap in the room from time to time, lest he wake up and find no one to cry; on the other hand, he asked Sirius in a low voice, "Siris, I have never heard you say that, except Regulus, you still have such a powerful younger brother."

"I don't know, Remus." Sirius is modifying a Muggle toy car, and he wants to add some automatic modes to the toy car, such as automatic turning, braking, and occasionally flying a small circle at low altitude, "he said It's Uncle Alphard's son, but I really haven't heard that Uncle Alphard has such a son."

"This is really strange." Lupine thought about it and said, "I still remember the uncle who once sponsored you, but I didn't hear you say that he had a son at the time. Afterwards, you said that after he was dismissed, there was no I got the news, but guessing his age, he should have had Daniel at that time. But, since he has a son, why would he give you all his property..."

"I have returned Uncle Alphard's property to Daniel." Sirius argued.

"The point is not property, Sirius. Rather, he appears very strange." Remus patiently explained to Sirius, "Can you tell me about his situation?"

"Okay." Sirius put down the toy car in his hand in a compromise, and began to say to Lupine seriously: "Actually, many people are quite curious about him. Now the wizarding world is talking about him almost everywhere. This level is really remarkable. As for whether he is Black, I don’t think there is anything to doubt about it. As evidenced by blood magic, he must be from the Black family. Otherwise, he would not be able to inherit Black..."

"Do you regret it?"

"what?"

"Do you regret letting someone else inherit Black?"

"I can't wait! It's just that I thought that person would be Rael..."

"I'm very sorry."

"It's nothing." Sirius paused before he continued, "What did I just say? By the way, I don't know Daniel's mother, but I guess it's a Muggle. If it's a wizard, uncle shouldn't He kept it a secret from his family. But Daniel didn’t mention it himself, and I didn’t plan to ask him. This is private. What we know so far is that he grew up in the United States. Speaking of which, he has never heard of any decent magic schools in the United States, no Know who he learned magic from..."

Sirius pondered for a moment, also a little confused.

But soon, he continued, "He caused a lot of trouble in the wizarding world as soon as he came to England. In short, he actually did only three things. The first thing was to pass the Wizengamot Great Court, fight I won the lawsuit and let the Ministry of Magic return Black's property, and then inherited the Black family; the second thing, you know, was to help me clear my grievances, and even designed to capture Peter; the third thing was to acquire Diagon Alley, there is a special video for this, you can find it if you are interested, many witches have saved it, and because of this, they are so obsessed with him, it is too exaggerated. Because of these, he has been talked about for a whole time It's been many months."

"It's really remarkable." Remus said in surprise, he didn't expect that such a famous figure would appear in the British wizarding world when he was busy with his livelihood and wandering around.

Sirius also showed a look of admiration, "To be honest, he is much more famous than when we were in school, and he has attracted more attention. I think if he goes to the branch, he might also be a Gryffindor." ...Moreover, if he continues to do this, it will probably become even more sensational, and will continue to be talked about by everyone in the wizarding world."

"Then do you think..." Remus said in a very cautious tone, "Do you think he can be trusted?"

"Remus, I don't know."

Sirius replied, his dark gray eyes flickering with confusion, "I'm sorry, I really don't know. I had a big fall and a bloody head, you know. I killed James and the others for trusting Peter. ..."

His voice became lower and lower, "You don't need to comfort me... I know, I know, I shouldn't doubt others just because of a cowardly person, and I don't want to doubt my brothers and friends. But, I really I can't... I can't trust someone like I used to."

"Sirius..." Remus Lupine did not simply persuade or comfort him, but stared at him with a very sincere gaze, and said encouragingly: "But you have done the best you can. Yes! From now on, I will always be with you, brother."

"Thank you, Remus. In terms of purely profit, I don't think Daniel needs to harm us." After calming down his emotions, Sirius calmly commented: "I feel that he has no sense of belonging to Britain in his bones, and neither On the side of the nobles, and not on our side. His purpose seems to be very simple, to make money, and then inherit Black’s fake inheritance? He has no aversion to Muggles, and seems to have a few Muggle friends. He Being a man has his own set of principles. Although he seems to value money and other things, he has a good heart, otherwise he would not have rescued me. After all, I am also the direct heir of the Black family. If you really want to fight with him, you I understand... So, I think, it should be credible, right?"

Remus nodded slightly, and said, "Since you think he is credible, let's go back to Black's house tonight."

"Huh?" Sirius raised his head in surprise, "I thought you were more used to living here. Although Black's house is big, it's too..." He thought about his words, and finally said, "Too Slytherin. "

"But he is your relative." Remus said gently, "Don't be like Regulus, who regrets only when he loses it. This time, learn to cherish it."

Sirius was silent for a moment, then, muttering, "You're always right, Prefect Lupine."

The two smiled at each other.

So, that night, after Sirius, holding little green-eyed Harry, strode into Black's old house, he saw his brother who needed his 'cherishing', holding a little blue-eyed boy with a bright smile, playing some kind of lift High childish play.

"What is this? What is this?"

Sirius pointed at the pale blond boy, looked at Daniel, then turned his head sharply to Lupine and shouted, "Merlin, I see a little Slytherin from the future."

Then, the blue-eyed Draco turned his head when he heard the voice, and the green-eyed Harry also raised his head, and the eyes of the two children collided.
