HP's Platinum Temptation

Queen Elizabeth and Clarence had an in-depth exchange on the relationship between Muggles and wizards, as well as the necessity and governance of the wizarding world.

Clarence had already discussed the topic with Mrs Thatcher once before, though.However, he still expressed his views and attitudes very sincerely in front of the Queen.Then they had a rough exchange of feelings about the cooperative industry.

The queen euphemistically expressed her dissatisfaction with the progress, because the Lambert family did not have wizards specializing in magic production, which was quite unfavorable for the development of cooperative craft research.Clarence expressed his own difficulties, and briefly introduced to the queen a battle that is currently taking place in the wizarding world.Wartime social turmoil is a good time to recruit ordinary wizards.It is a pity that the Lambert family does not know the whereabouts of the other wizards.But still try to find a way to solve the problem.

The queen seems to be quite satisfied with this meeting.When sending Clarence away from Windsor Castle, the Queen gave him a beautifully decorated box, saying it was a small gift of the royal family's support for the Lambert family.Let him watch it when he gets home.

After opening the box, Clarence saw a very old-looking parchment, a letter written by the Queen herself, and a secret power of attorney.

Clarence flipped through the parchment. The paper on the book was yellow, and there was a lot of dust on the cover, but there was nothing inside.

The queen introduced in the letter that this parchment is an important item that has been passed down by the royal heirs.The information handed down from the ancestors pointed out that this parchment book is a magical sacred artifact, and its main function is related to understanding the population of wizards within the country.

It is impossible to know when the British royal family acquired this thing. We only know that it was at the beginning, when wizards and Muggles had a history of cooperation.The leader of the wizards at the time presented this sacred artifact to the royal family.Since the royal family has always been cursed, members of the direct line will not have any wizard blood, so the direct line of the royal family cannot use this magical device.

But if the royal family can find a family of pure-blood wizards and authorize the patriarch of this family, then the authorized patriarch will have the power to obtain a large amount of detailed information about wizards from the sheepskin.Now the queen will grant authorization to the Lambert family and lend this parchment to the Lambert family.The promise that the Lambert family needs to make is to answer all the questions raised by the queen based on the information provided by the parchment, without endangering the safety of the wizard.

Clarence immediately informed all family members of the incident.According to the appraisal of the Duke of Rezlan, the power of attorney given by the queen should be the magic contract given by the person who gave the royal parchment back then.It takes effect after the oath is read aloud by the wizard.The parchment will only be used by the oath taker after the oath is established.In order to prevent the artifact from being misused with the decline of the wizard family, the oath user of this parchment can only be changed every 50 years.

Despite declaring to the Muggle world, while retaining his title, the Duke of Rezlan handed over the rights of the head of the Lambert family to Terrence, who was named prince because of his marriage with Emilia.But that's only speaking to the Muggle community.

The inheritance of the patriarch of the wizard family is no child's play, and certain magical rituals must be performed.Therefore, the patriarch who can actually conclude a contract with the parchment here is the Duke of Rezlan himself.In the next 50 years, the rights of the patriarch will definitely change.Because originally, everyone agreed that when Clarence became an adult, he would immediately take over as the patriarch of the family.After all, unless special circumstances arise, adult wizard nobles will not hand over the rights of patriarch to wizard cubs who still need to be protected.

Unexpectedly, before Clarence even entered Hogwarts, the Lambert family faced a special situation.After much consideration, the Duke of Rezlan hoped that Clarence could take over as the patriarch ahead of schedule, thus exercising the right to use the parchment.When this decision was voted on at the family meeting, everyone voted for it, except Clarence who opposed it.

At the breakfast table, the Lambert family gathered, and Theodore returned home for the Easter break.

Facing the puzzled questions from the family, Clarence pondered for a while, and then said: "Father, Mom, I still don't think I am the most suitable candidate for the patriarch. The responsibility of the patriarch is to maintain the operation and good continuation of the family. And What I must tell you is that I am sure that I like men, although I have no way to verify my statement. And once it is true, I may not be able to fulfill the responsibility of increasing the population of the family."

There was an eerie silence at the dinner table.Everyone looked at Clarence, who was only ten years old, and was speechless in surprise.

"But boy, my little Cray, you're only ten years old, how do you know—" asked the Duchess with a look of horror.

"Yes, Mom, I'm only ten years old. I can't explain why I feel this way, but I'm sure, this is a fact that can't be changed. If you want me to change when I grow up, Then this wish is very likely to come true. I believe I know enough about myself. So Dad, you can consider handing over the inheritance of the patriarch to Theodore, or you can consider the descendants of Theodore or Alvira in the future, I believe they must be better than me." Clarence said sadly.In fact, he didn't intend to come out so soon.However, this matter is not something that can be concealed for a lifetime.Instead of causing any trouble later, it is better to speak out at the beginning and wait for the judgment of the parents.

"Oh, how did it become like this. Although I believe in my loyalty to the family, I don't think I can be a better heir than Clay." I realized that the topic involved me, and I have been in Hogwarts for four years. Theodore of the grade quickly waved his hands.

Because Terrence married Emilia, their descendants have the blood of the British royal family and will not produce wizard descendants.So Terrence could not be a suitable heir to the family either.

"Maybe things won't be so irretrievable." Terrence said at this moment: "I still think Clarence should inherit the Lambert family."

"But Terrence, I can't force myself to have offspring with women." Clarence was a little nervous, but he didn't want to shirk responsibility.It's just that he doesn't want to hide his true orientation because of this, and make do with someone he doesn't love for the rest of his life.

"Don't be nervous, Clay. Regardless of whether your future partner is a wizard or a Muggle, you still have a chance to obtain a direct descendant through Muggle biotechnology, right? Even if you can't, it's better than letting your father continue to be a 50 If you were the patriarch of the family in [-], and then hand over the patriarchal rights to the descendants of Theodore or Alvira, you can do the same, and it is more appropriate. After all, there is no doubt that you have become the backbone of our family." After finishing speaking, Tai Lance turned to the Duke of Rezlan: "Father, do you think my suggestion is feasible?"

The Duke of Rezland was a bit overwhelmed by the issue of Clarence's sexual orientation, and he only listened to part of the discussion of his sons, perhaps because the thinking about Clarence that needs to be done recently is somewhat beyond his cognition .Whether Mrs. Thatcher believed that Clarence had higher dominance over the family, or for the needs of family development, the responsibility of the family patriarch was entrusted to a ten-year-old underage wizard, or Clarence himself believed that he was only Things like men.The Duke of Rezlan obviously couldn't react: "Let's end today's meeting first, and let me think about it."

Seeing the back of his father slumped away, Clarence felt deeply guilty.He bit his lower lip lightly, but couldn't say anything.On one side is his beloved family, on the other side is his true self.He also has no choice. He once thought that the issue of patriarchal replacement would not come so early, and he would have enough time to find a solution.

"Don't be too frustrated, Clay." Theodore came over and patted him on the shoulder: "Our family is united, and we can always find a solution, right?"

In the end, the Duke of Rezlan did not express any opinion on Clarence's orientation, as if he had tacitly agreed.Three days later, on the eve of Theodore's return to Hogwarts, under the witness of all members of the Lambert family, Clarence inherited the patriarchal ring of the Lambert family, and read the Queen's authorization contract aloud on the same day, Obtained the right to use the parchment.When the light of the contract's establishment shone on the parchment, its appearance changed.The dust on the surface has faded, and the paper inside seems to have been washed away.After the light passed, Clarence saw the contents of the book.

The Book of Time is the name of this magical artifact.

Clarence has always heard that there is a magical magic item in Hogwarts.Within the UK, as long as a little wizard is born, his name will appear in this magic item called the Hogwarts student list.But what he didn't expect was that the Hogwarts student list turned out to be a projection of the Book of Time.It may be that the founder of Hogwarts once obtained the Book of Time, and managed to let Hogwarts have some of the functions of the Book of Time through projection.All previous principals can know the situation of the students by checking the Hogwarts list, and the admission notices are sent out every year based on the list.

Before little wizards enter school, their names in the Hogwarts student list will change according to the status of the little wizards.If it is accidentally turned into a squib, it will become a gray and dull color.The student's name will stay on the first column of the student list until the year of 11 years old. If the admission standard is not met, the name will become gray, and the year will be added to another column list; if the admission requirement is met, Those who received the admission notice but did not come to enroll will be entered into another list; and the names of the students who came to enroll last will be entered into the separate lists of the four colleges after they are separated.But after the age of 11, if the name is on the student list, the brightness will always be fixed at the time of enrollment.Unless it dies, the brightness of the name will change again and turn red.

The Hogwarts student list records the names of all British wizards who lived in England before the age of 11, and who attended Hogwarts from the age of 11 to adulthood.However, wizards who came to the UK after the age of 11 and did not study at Hogwarts will not be included in this student list.

When Clarence was born, there had been a very bright light on the student list.But it was the time when the old and new headmasters of Hogwarts were changing.The old headmaster saw this, but did not tell the new headmaster, otherwise, the Lambert family would have attracted Dumbledore's attention long ago.
