"Then what did your brother mean by those last words?" Joel was very confused.
"We are not... bloodlines are more important in the pure-blood family circle," Haylis's eyes were red, and her fair face looked like a little rabbit, "You know the Weasley family, right?"
"Of course," Joel raised his eyebrows, "their family is in Gryffindor."
"They are called 'pure-blood traitors' in the pure-blood circle," Haylis spread knowledge to Joel, "just because they do not discriminate against mixed-bloods and Muggles. From this aspect, you should know how the circle treats the wizarding world.
How serious is the discrimination against outsiders?"
Joel just nodded. He thought the way Haylis was lecturing him with her fingers was cute and charming.
"But there is a pureblood before their title of traitor," Haylis said seriously. She looked at Joel's handsome appearance and took this opportunity to forget her previous unhappiness. "Although the Weasley family has a great attitude towards mixed races,
Yes, but the person their heirs choose to marry must be a pureblood descendant."
"Generally speaking, the definition of pure blood in the magical world is that both parents are wizards. However, pure blood families do not follow this. Most of them adhere to this standard - only three generations of direct relatives who are wizards can be considered a pure blood."
"What's more, for example, the Malfoy family, they are eager to dig out the eighteen generations of the marriage partner's ancestors to see the purity of the blood." Haylis snorted coldly.
"Is the Selwyn family like this too?" Joel asked softly.
"Of course, otherwise why would Bernie threaten me with this?" Haylis replied.
Joel's heart felt cold. Judging from the inheritance left by his parents, his mother was probably a Muggle. If he and Haylis came to the end, would the Selwyn family accept him?
Haylis saw his worry, she put her palm on Joel's palm, "To be honest, I wasn't worried about your and my future before. Although the Selwyn family is strict, it is the requirement for the heir.
The worst I can do is leave, and I will be expelled from the Selwyn family."
"But now, it's obvious that Bernie can't support the Selwyn family. I'm afraid..." Hailis hesitated to speak. After all, the Selwyn family gave birth to her and raised her, and they have deep feelings. If the family goes smoothly and continues to grow, she will follow
Joel can feel relieved if he leaves, but now something like this happened.
"By the way, are you thinking too far ahead?" Joel smiled half-heartedly, "There are still five years until we graduate."
Haylis sighed, "I don't know what Bernie is thinking. I'll go back and tell my parents and let them deal with this problem."
She drank all the water in the glass and stood up to leave.
"I'll take you back." Joel said.
"No," Hailis waved her hand, "I'll just take the Knight Bus back."
"I will prepare the house contract when I get home and entrust the business to someone in the company. If nothing goes wrong, you will receive the house key in the next two days."
She explained everything, "As for the electives... I decided to choose Muggle Studies, Ancient Runes and Arithmancy."
Haylis glanced at several runes on Joel's bed.
Joel put Haylis on the bus and just returned to the bar.
Uncle Tom at the bar asked quite gossiping about what the two of them were doing upstairs. Joel covered his ears and didn't answer. He hurried upstairs to clean up and wash up. After walking for a long time in the hot summer, his robe and body were all sweaty.
They were stuck together and felt very uncomfortable.
In the evening, after reciting the Animagus incantation to his heart, he lay in bed bored.
The entertainment methods in the magical world are extremely boring. There is no TV or Internet, so he can only read books at night. But there are too many things happening today. He just picked up the rune phonetic table and read two pages and felt that he couldn't stand it anymore.
Simply put out the candle you just lit.
He covered himself with a thin quilt and vaguely smelled a fresh fragrance. He didn't know if it was his imagination.
The next afternoon, a brown owl from Selwyn Real Estate Company delivered the contract documents. Joel signed the contract, then tied it to the owl's leg and sent it back.
As I was getting off work in the evening, there was a knock on the door of Room 11.
Joel glanced through the peephole and saw a young man in a white robe standing outside the door holding a briefcase.
"You are..." Joel put his right hand holding the wand behind his back and opened the door.
"Agent from Selwyn Real Estate Company," the man said respectfully, opening his briefcase, "You have confirmed the contract details, right?"
He watched Joel nod before taking out a bunch of keys and a pile of documents from his bag.
"Please keep these documents," the man warned. "Since the house you purchased is located in a semi-wizard settlement, it is not subject to a Muggle expulsion spell. This means that it still has the risk of exposing you. Please be sure to check it with Muggles."
Do not use magic props and spells within sight..."
After reading a lot of details, Joel nodded to express his understanding, and then paid 4080 galleons (including a 2% handling fee) in exchange for a lot of contract documents and a bunch of keys.
The man said hello and wanted to leave, "Excuse me..." Joel suddenly spoke.
"Do you know what Haylis Selwyn is doing now?" Joel felt anxious when he asked this question.
"Sorry sir, I don't know," the man said with apology in his tone, "Miss Selwyn entrusted me with this order last night and didn't say anything else."
Joel sent the real estate agent away with some disappointment. He tried to send a letter to Haylis this morning, but Bobby flew back in the afternoon with a look of sadness, and the letter was still tied to its leg.
For some reason the letter was not delivered to Haylis.
He moved out of the Leaky Cauldron with some worries, and spent a sum of money to clean up the garden of his house in Godric's Hollow and purchase some furniture.
There is another advantage of locating the house in a semi-wizard colony - he can use all kinds of convenient Muggle appliances, and he moved the washing machine and TV in after one day of moving in.
The boring nightlife has been alleviated, but the worries in Joel's heart have not diminished at all. On the contrary, they are increasing day by day. These days, he has been sending a letter to Hailes every day, but there is no news, which really annoys Poppy the owl.
Enough.
The first day of school was getting closer and closer, and the Hogwarts book list was also sent. Joel had to make an agreement with his three roommates to go to Diagon Alley to purchase supplies for the first semester on August 15th.
The time soon came to the appointed day, and Joel got on the Knight Bus and headed for Diagon Alley with a bumpy ride.
