Pure Blood Glory at Hogwarts

In the ancient castle, a young and beautiful maid is helping an old man to put on a very low-key and luxurious dress.

"Do we need to be so formal?"

Lake Lance looked at his uncle in a heavy dress.He said with a puzzled face.This is the dress they would only wear at noble meetings, or only when a really important event happened in a close family, such as the succession ceremony of the head of the family.

Gray-haired, but with a resolute face and a tough body, Warm Lance gave him a dissatisfied look.

"Who do you think you are going to see today?"

His tone was dissatisfied and somewhat cold.As soon as he opened his mouth, Lake closed his mouth instantly.He could only let Catherine Lance dress herself in a similar style of dress.

Catherine said nothing, didn't even dare to look up.

When she was discussing the bargaining chip with Luke to terminate the contract, she just discussed it with her husband excitedly.When the two were excited about finally being able to cancel the blood-sucking contract with the Gaunt family, they completely forgot to relate this matter to the uncle, Worm Lance, who was the head of the family but had not managed the family affairs for many years.

Worm Lance has no children, and doesn't think so.

So early on, he took Lake, the posthumous son of his younger brother, back home and raised him as the next Patriarch.

Over the years, Lake has gradually matured, and he has also begun to slowly delegate power, enjoying his leisurely life in his later years.

But he never expected that for such a big matter, Lake, the bastard, didn't discuss it with him, and directly made the decision on his own.

When the old butler told Worm, Worm immediately dropped his fishing rod and rushed back with Apparatus. The first thing he did when he came back was to give Lake a rounded big fight.

Then he looked at his niece and daughter-in-law with a stern expression. She has been married for many years, but she doesn't understand the rules among nobles.

"Don't open your pet shop again. Have that time to learn more about the etiquette and rules you should learn."

"You've humiliated Lake many times at related parties."

Catherine's face was pale, and she could only nod silently.Lake couldn't bear it, but under the coercion of his uncle's elder and patriarch's aura, he didn't say a word after all.

He loved Catherine very much, and was willing to take the taunts to give her a free space.This is also very good, Catherine's behavior has changed the image of the Lance family among many half-blood or non-noble wizards.

Even Professor McGonagall, a veteran and strong man who has long been famous, has become friends with Catherine.But it is still the kind of relationship that is relatively iron.

There are gains and losses, and the scene of being reprimanded is already in Lake's expectation.

It's just that when the matter really came, he still didn't fight hard as he imagined.

Worm looked at him, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

But he quickly restrained his expression, and then said to the butler standing on the other side: "Go and prepare the carriage, don't neglect."

The old butler bowed and walked out of the room.

The maid helped Worm tidy up the last handkerchief with the dark pattern of the lance, and after bowing, she turned and left.

There were few clothes on Lake, so after the maid left, Catherine also turned and left the room.

Seeing her gloomy expression, Lake couldn't bear it, but he still didn't speak.

With a "click", the door was closed.Only Worm and Lake were left in the room.

"You acted impulsively this time. And it's already a bit of a bad rule."

Worm's face was still indifferent, and there was not much emotion in his tone.

"I know, but I really want to get rid of this humiliating contract." Lake took a deep breath, and then said, "I don't want my child to still have to suffer from a group of rascals coming to ask for it. The state of property belonging to them."

"Oh, what you think, after signing the contract, the three or four generations of the Gaunt family also think the same way."

Worm sneered and said, "Okay, that's it, wait a minute, don't talk."

Lake pursed his lips tightly, but did not speak.

"Do you think you have no dignity now? Do you think I'm using the majesty of the Patriarch to suppress your opinion?"

"But what I want to tell you is, Lake, if I still take you to fulfill your promise today, it's enough to give you face. Over the years, you haven't improved at all."

"You didn't even meet the other party, so you agreed directly. How do you know that the Gunter family will not rise? Are you short of that little money?"

Worm shook his head coldly and said, "You are still too young and too self-willed. This is my negligence. After today, you should rest for a while. You and Catherine both have a lot to learn."

----------

"Is the head of the Lance family such a person?"

Luke frowned and said.

Professor McGonagall rolled his eyes at him: "I thought you would investigate the Lance family in advance."

"It's not necessary. As long as the contract is cancelled, the relationship between everyone will basically cease to exist. Coincidentally, I also got rid of a drag bottle. But let me care, to be honest, the Lance family is not worthy."

When Luke said this, his face was calm, and his calm face was essentially his disdain for the Lance family.

Being able to make such a simple decision to tear up the contract is enough for them to be labeled ungrateful in the noble circle.It can't be said that one life's fame will be lost in one day, but it is normal for the family's credibility to be halved.

As for the other half, after Luke becomes a rising force among the nobles, the Lance family should become a new laughing stock among the nobles that can be passed down for a century.

Of course, Professor McGonagall doesn't know much about the twists and turns. Now that it's done, there's no need to embarrass the professor by speaking out.

"But it seems that Mr. Worm Lance is really willing to pay the price for the credibility of his heir. Of course, it can also be seen that 'they' are really annoying."

Professor McGonagall knew that the 'they' Luke was referring to was another Gaunt family.Just when she was about to say a few more words, she suddenly raised her head.Then looked into the distance.

There, a small black dot was rapidly enlarging in her field of vision.

"Ready? They're coming."

Professor McGonagall said casually.

Luke, on the other hand, looked in the direction of the black dot, a brilliant and polite arc was drawn at the corner of his mouth.

"I've been looking forward to it for a long time."
