Mr. Greengrass preferred that the school board invest in Snape's potions workshop because it made the most sense in terms of process.
However, the major pure-blood families are obviously not satisfied. The Hogwarts School Board cannot cover too much, and no one wants to be left behind by everyone.
On the other hand, Severus Snape also said that "personal potions workshops" are still far away. The most important thing at the moment is the public potions industry-- consisting of the Ministry of Magic, Hogwarts, and the soon-to-be-established Potions Industry.
It is a large-scale social project jointly supervised by the "European Potions Quality Authority". If they want to get a share of the pie, they may have to use their respective influence to work in this regard.
As for Lucius Malfoy, he played the role of an audience member very competently, as well as a new member of the school board and a new member of the pure-blood family, staying on the edge of all disputes.
Yes, the public potion market is very attractive, and almost everyone realizes its huge potential and bright future at the first time.
Because of this, in the next few months, this market will soon become a cruel whirlpool of competing forces.
The best way to protect yourself in the chaotic whirlpool is to leave the center of the dispute and find a quiet, safe corner where no one cares about and enjoy a small meal.
"Don't we try to fight for something, such as investment ratio or something... I thought you would at least try to lobby other people, Lucius."
Lucius Malfoy picked up a small piece of cake from the dining table and played with it back and forth in his hand: "Hmm, is it similar to the way before, wandering around and mediating between various magic families?"
"Yes, isn't this the Malfoy family's survival rule that you have always followed?"
"Yes, I was really keen on fighting for every bit of rights at that time."
"So, what are your plans now?" Mrs. Malfoy raised her eyebrows high, "You seem to have thought about what to do next?"
"This cannot be disclosed for the time being——"
Lucius shook his head and whispered thoughtfully.
At least he couldn't relax completely until he officially became the top person in charge of the "Magic Sanitary Napkin".
You must know that this may be related to the continuation of the Malfoy family for decades or even centuries to come, and he must ensure that nothing goes wrong.
More importantly, no matter how harmless it seems, Lucius will never forget that this is a flower that bloomed after absorbing the "nutrition" of the remnant soul of the "previous Dark Lord".
Lucius Malfoy would not be so naive as to think that a wizard who was crazy enough to enslave and dissect the "Fragments of Voldemort's Soul" would be a kind-hearted angel. He must serve Her Highness the Witch very carefully - compared to
You have to be careful when serving Voldemort - show off your abilities as much as possible while protecting your family to the maximum extent possible.
The top person in charge of "Magic Sanitary Napkin" is just the beginning. He plans to take advantage of the opportunity of the new and old generations to take over and seize more say.
Even though Draco might have been involved first, Lucius was still confident of going further. After all, he was the wizard who represented the Malfoy family.
In this way, when the crisis comes, at least he can save Draco... from having to face the devil directly.

"Ah sneeze——"
"Are you okay, Elena? Are you catching a cold?"
"It's okay, maybe someone is saying bad things about me behind my back - anyway, don't let me catch you, otherwise... hum."
"Then...could it be a pollen allergy? There are quite a lot of plants here..."
"The only things I'm allergic to are things I can't eat, but all the flowers and plants here are edible."
"Is that—"
"Okay, okay, please stop making such a fuss, okay?!"
Below the castle, Hufflepuff common room.
Elena sighed and rolled her eyes helplessly at her surprised father.
"I'm not a six-year-old child, and I can't do anything if I sneeze. Instead of asking questions here, you should take care of your own body first!"
I have to admit that Benitez's back is indeed very reassuring.
When Elena woke up again, she had already arrived at the warm and comfortable Hufflepuff common room from the door of the Transfiguration classroom.
At this time, the parents were gathering together in twos and threes, chatting quietly while waiting for the little wizards to clean up and hide the prohibited items in their dormitories.
Compared with the topics in other houses that have gradually gone off the rails, the atmosphere in Hufflepuff House is obviously the most normal among the four houses.
Most parents focus mainly on their children's learning and Hogwarts' "new curriculum standards."
"Well, I thought you would want to go to the bedroom...well, clean up, tidy up..."
Benitez glanced at Elena, smiled sarcastically, and took the initiative to change the subject, "But it's nothing. Anyway, if something appears in your little nest, I-"
"Don't use the word den!"
Elena instantly became furious and glared at Benitez fiercely.
However, her threat was obviously of no use, and Benitez just smiled and shrugged.
"Okay, okay - then, the girl's boudoir... aren't you going to clean it up? After all, there will be... um, bed check later?"
"Don't worry about this at all, because -"
Elena narrowed her eyes and shook her finger proudly.
"You can't enter my bedroom at all. The permissions of my bedroom are independent of other rooms in Hufflepuff."
As the headmaster of Hogwarts, the witch who inherits the will of the Dark Lord and the White Lord... The security of Elena's bedroom is to some extent even greater than that of the principal's office. Except for Dumbledore, almost no one else can avoid it.
Breaking into her bedroom with permission.
Of course, house elves can still enter.
However, it is only limited to a few elves, including Burley, who have gone through heavy screening, and they must be approved by Elena before entering.
Therefore, from the beginning, Elena was not worried about the "bed check" issue at all - that was a thoughtful plan that she finally came up with. How could it hurt her own feet? As early as the proposal appeared in various professors' lesson plans
She had checked the access control before.
"But……"
Benitez scratched his cheek in confusion and subconsciously turned his head to look not far away.
"I remember - Miss Aibo lived in the same room as you. She seemed to have asked her mother to clean up together just now..."
"Um?!"
Elena was stunned, and the smile on her face gradually solidified.
