This Hogwarts isn't normal.

No one will be nice to you for no reason.

If Vincent was just an ordinary wizard, Restman and Sigri would not even bother to pretend.

"How's Daphne doing at school? She doesn't even write home much now."

"I can't say she's very good." Vincent gave her two stern looks, "But at least I think she's more real than before."

Restman quickly put away the dissatisfaction in his eyes.

He was arrogant enough to dare to insinuate that the friendship between pure-blood families was a false friendship maintained by profit.

"Mr. Greengrass, did I say something wrong?"

Devine's face was stiff, trying to maintain his expression.

Courtesy first and then soldiers?

What if a fight really breaks out...

Even with his help, Victor probably wouldn't be able to be held back.

"No." Restman forced a smile.

"Vincent, I welcome you to my uncle's house very much, but I still don't understand why."

"Because of a curse." Vincent looked sideways into the hall intentionally or unintentionally.

That timid little head should be Daphne's sister who inherited the blood curse, Astoria Greengrass.

Restman and Sigri's expressions darkened.

"What curse?"

"It's in your family's blood——"

"Bang!" Restman slammed the table.

He softened the expression on his face slightly, "Vincent, I have seen the magic of alchemy, but it is not an ordinary curse, but -"

"The forbidden black magic that has been lost.

The Greengrass couple stared at Vincent in surprise, as if trying to find even a little bit of clues.

If the Magic Stone had not been destroyed, they would have agreed no matter how high the price was.

That face that was so calm that it didn't make any waves didn't look like he was pretending at all.

"This visit was originally supposed to be during the Christmas holiday."

There have always been rumors that the reason why Daphne and Pansy completely broke up was because of Vincent.

But after Sigri's careful observation, it was not at all what the rumors said.

But it is impossible to say that there is no relationship.

Restman's eyes changed when he looked at Vincent, "Are you taking advantage of my daughter?"

This obviously hostile question immediately made the air in the hall freeze.

"We just cooperate and each get what we need."

The depression that almost made Devine gasp for breath seemed like it didn't exist in Vincent's case.

"By him?" Restman pointed at Victor, who was also unmoved.

"Or rely on your teacher?"

"On my own."

"Ho--" Just as he sneered, a dangerous black mist filled the air.

"Don't be like this." Vincent shook his head slightly towards Victor, "Mr. Greengrass just cares about Daphne, I can understand his mood.

The black fog disappeared in an instant, and Restman was not as excited as before.

His eyes accidentally glanced into the hall and he spotted his little daughter hiding behind the corner and eavesdropping.

On purpose?

"Vincent, people must be responsible for what they say." Restman was particularly serious.

"I could have dismissed it as a kid's joke, it never happened."

"This is no joke, Mr. Greengrass." Vincent's expression was extremely serious.

"I've learned that magic and can prove it anytime, anywhere."

Sigri pursed her lips, "I know Daphne's character very well. She is not someone who can be changed easily."

"I didn't lie to her, Mrs. Greengrass."

Restman snapped his fingers and summoned a copy of the Daily Prophet from the past few days.

"The cost of paying Rita Skeeter should not be your responsibility."

Although it was just a rumor, the newspaper that day was most likely targeting the Greengrass family.

At first, he thought it was bought by the Malfoy family, but now he is almost certain that it was Vincent's handiwork.

"I didn't give anything."

Including Victor, all four people looked at him in horror.

"I have hers - she's my partner."

They were relieved, but they really wanted to know what kind of charm a 12-year-old wizard had to cooperate with a troublesome famous reporter.

The stakes are increased, and so is the credibility.

Vincent knew he was just one step away.

Grindelwald's apprentice identity cannot be exposed, so the two Dumbledore brothers have to be thrown out.

"The real effect of the blood curse is not to devour life, but to turn the cursed person into an unconscious beast..."

Of course Restman and Sigri knew this, but they didn't expect that Nagini, who was in her 90s, was still alive.

Although they were curious about the relationship between the Dumbledore brothers and her, they were in no mood to satisfy their curiosity.

"Is it okay as long as we are blood relatives?"

"Yes, the curse will be divided equally, and accordingly the life will be equally divided."

This is a different kind of curse.

But it's just to save people, not harm them.

In a sense, this is actually a kind of forbidden black magic.

Devine glanced at Victor several times, intentionally or unintentionally.

Why should the two most powerful figures in the Umnambu Party help?

With Nico Flamel's apprenticeship?

With the Order of Merlin and the Congressional Medal of Honor?

Impossible, Vincent's magic to solve the blood curse was taught by Dumbledore, the witch party makes no sense...

He raised his teacup and drank it in one gulp.

"Mr. Greengrass, Daphne knows the consequences clearly, and she is willing to bear them."

"I believe you, Vincent." Restman looked at the place where his little daughter was hiding,

"But it doesn't make sense for her to pay such a price."

His eyes softened, "Our ancestors tried countless methods, and finally found that the powerful wizard blood can weaken the effect of the curse.

It won't turn into an unconscious beast, but will spend a short life in pain. It's ironic, isn't it?"

I would rather die as a wizard than live as an unconscious beast.

The persistence of the pure-blood family is not all bad.

Vincent can probably guess the reason for the curser.

Either revenge or suppression.

"Mr. Greengrass——"

"Call me Uncle Restman, that's what Devi calls me."

"Okay, Uncle Restman." Vincent took out his wand and played with it in his hand.

"Let me make it clear in advance that this is a pain that ordinary people can't bear."

Sigri put her palm on the back of his hand, "Dear, Astoria is also my daughter, we should bear it together."

It will definitely be better for three people to share than for two people.

According to the original agreement, it was Daphne who shared the curse on Astoria.

Vincent is a man who keeps his promises, but he doesn't want to continue to abide by this agreement now.

The Greengrasses may be bad people, but they are undoubtedly a good pair of parents.
