Sure enough, just as Lucius said, after a while, the other house owners arrived, and the sofa in the living room was full of people.
When the Greengrass family saw so many people arriving, they had no choice but to follow Lucius's suggestion and held a small gathering. The Bulstros family leader unceremoniously asked to send someone to inform him.
Wife and children, let them come too.
The banquet started, and the wives and children of each house owner played and talked on their own. However, the house owners and Weston only stayed for a while, ate some food, and then all gathered in the Greengrass family's secret room.
.
"Mr. Delacour, can you tell us, you have found so many squibs, has there been any progress in the magic?" Borgin Burke, the new head of the Burke family, looked at Weston and said politely.
He asked with a smile, but the taste in his words was indeed not very good.
"Boy, do you think that after old Bok dies, no one will be able to control you?" The head of the Greengrass family squinted at Bo Jin, "Or, he died too quickly and forgot to tell you something.
What shouldn’t you do and what shouldn’t you ask?”
The other family heads looked at Bo Jin with amusement, their eyes full of sarcasm.
A few days ago, the old head of the Bok family, the old Bok family, died unexpectedly in a magic accident. The blog family, which originally had only two or three kittens, was in urgent need of someone to take charge of the overall situation. This is how Borgin Bok came to power.
However, it now seems that the manager of Borkin Burke's Black Magic Shop, who used to be very shrewd in the past, is not very smart.
Naturally, several family heads also saw it. Originally, they did not want one more person to share the benefits, and coupled with Bo Jin's cleverness, no one had any background, and even several former allies of the Bok family did not speak.
It is rude to speak first on other family's territory. Bo Jin is a new head of the family. He is not qualified to speak before getting everyone's recognition. In addition, there is a bit of questioning in Bok's words.
, this is offending Weston, a person who can benefit everyone.
For many reasons, Bojinbok has been vaguely excluded.
Bo Jin seemed to realize something and quickly closed his mouth, and cold sweat gradually appeared on his head.
The head of the Greengrass family glanced at Burke coldly. Lucius pulled down his robe before he withdrew his gaze and said coldly: "I know the purpose of your coming. You are not children. What is your purpose of coming?"
It's just because of Weston.
None of us are qualified to ask anything. If you are not willing to pay for the gold galleons, our Greengrass family does not need you to pay."
"Okay, old man, we are not idiots!" Lucius said with a smile, "Let's talk about things first. We have time to talk about the rest."
When Bo Jin heard this, his face instantly turned pale. Lucius's words clearly meant settling accounts with his wife. His methods were not as kind as his smile, and there were quite a few families that he secretly killed.
Several family heads also heard the implication of Lucius's words and nodded casually. This basically determined the demise of the Bok family.
"Weston, it's up to you to talk about this matter." The head of the Greengrass family looked at Weston apologetically, "I'm sorry, I originally wanted to resolve this matter simply, but I didn't expect it to happen like this.
Lots of changes."
Weston only half-believed this. It was true that he wanted to handle it by himself, and it was also true that he didn't expect it, but his thoughts were not necessarily as simple as he said.
But Weston didn't care about that either.
Weston stood up, adjusted his robe a little, and with an impeccable smile, the noble temperament of a fallen angel on his body actually surpassed everyone in the entire secret room.
"The matter actually has something to do with the Filch family." After Weston said this, the head of the Filch family was startled, suddenly thought of something, and asked hesitantly: "You mean, my brother
?”
"Yes, that is Mr. Argus Filch, the logistics steward of Hogwarts." Weston nodded, "You should all know what magic is being studied at Hogwarts, right?
?”
All the family heads nodded. How could they not know that everyone sitting here has invested a lot of gold galleons. Even the Bok family, old Bok, spent nearly half of their family wealth. This is why Bojin is so anxious.
Let’s ask the reason for this.
Weston looked at the family heads, smiled slightly, and continued: "So, haven't you considered whether this magic can solve the problem of squibs?"
"How could I not have thought about it? It's just a guess. Squibs and Muggles are different after all." The head of the Filch family said this bluntly, and several of the other family heads also showed a little strange expression.
From their looks, it seemed that they had also thought about this matter.
"So what is the difference between Muggles and Squibs?" Weston asked.
At this time, all the family heads frowned. The Greengrass family leader thought for a while and shook his head simply: "Weston, if you find something through research, just say it!"
The family heads all nodded and agreed with the words of the Greenglass family head.
Seeing this, Weston no longer held back and told all his findings, which made all the family heads startled.
"You mean, my brother Argus is not supposed to be a squib, but is actually a genius?" the head of the Filch family asked in disbelief.
"If nothing else, it should be like this." Weston nodded, and after hesitating for a moment, he said frankly, "As for the Squibs, the magic world pays too little attention to them, which means that everything must be done.
I’ll do my own research.”
Weston said nothing more about the rest. He actually had a more bold guess in his mind. However, this guess was too shocking, so he never said it, not even Dumbledore.
However, this guess still needs to be verified. This is the reason why Weston really wants to find the Squib.
"Then, I think we can make a decision." The head of the Greengrass family saw that Weston had stopped talking. After a moment of thought, he knew that it was time for him to appear, and asked directly, "So, is there any family that wants to participate?"
Come in, you can talk now, do you understand the rules?"
The heads of the family all nodded. How could they not understand? This is what Weston said last time. You can participate and provide resources, but you cannot interfere in the research. If the results are not signed by them, they can be allowed to participate unconditionally.
Use is equivalent to result sharing.
"I'll go first, the Malfoy family will join!" Lucius took the lead in voting.
"Count me in, the Gower family will join." The head of the Gower family glanced at Lucius and followed directly. Then he said that the Crabbe family, Bulstrode family, Filch family...
...
The gap between pure-blood families seems to have become particularly obvious at this moment...
