"Everyone! I still have classes. If you have any questions, you can contact me via email. Farewell!"
When Regulus Black said this, the entire press briefing had already turned into an exchange of interests. There was no point in staying any longer. Those in need would eventually come to the door on their own.
Before anyone present could react, Regulus Black left the venue and returned to Hogwarts through the fireplace of the Ministry of Magic. He had left in a hurry before asking for leave from Dumbledore!
Back at Hogwarts, most of the students were in class. Regulus Black walked through the long passage and slowly walked up to the eighth floor.
“Honey lemon tea!”
The spiral staircase appeared automatically after the password, and Regulus Black stepped on the highest staircase to the principal's office.
"Master Principal!"
Regulus Black called out as soon as he entered the door, but there was no response. It was obvious that Dumbledore had not returned yet.
At the press briefing of the Ministry of Magic just now, Regulus Black saw Dumbledore. Although he was sitting very far back, the one-eyed disability blocking the front was very conspicuous.
"Hey! Boy, your affairs have caused Dumbledore a lot of trouble. Every time something happens to you, Dumbledore will go there personally. Hahahaha! You have the ability."
A portrait of a wizard with a goatee and slender eyebrows winked at Regulus Black.
Phineas Black, the ancestor of the Black family, Phineas is the great-great-grandfather of Regulus and Sirius.
He once served as the headmaster of Slytherin and later the principal of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He is considered the most unpopular principal in the history of Hogwarts. The feudal, stubborn and cunning old man hates self-righteous young people, and he seems less wise in front of Dumbledore.
"Great-great-grandfather, I believe you have seen Jupiter. What do you think of this child?"
Regulus Black also chatted with the portraits from time to time in the old house, trying to find more value from their experiences.
There are portraits of Phineas in the old house at No. 12 Grimmauld Place, as well as in the principal's office at Hogwarts. You can move around freely in the portraits.
"Oh! That's a little cutie, very, very beautiful, just as beautiful as Bellatrix was when she was little."
When it comes to Jupiter Black, the youngest member of the Black family, Phineas, an old man who has been dead for who knows how long, is so excited that it is difficult to control. You must know that not long ago, the Black family was dead. Fortunately, Regulus Black came back, and less than a year later, Bellatrix gave birth to Jupiter Black to the Black family.
This allowed the Black family to continue instead of becoming extinct. Phineas was very satisfied with Regulus Black. The current head of the Black family was a capable man who could restore the honor of the Black family.
"Since you like little Jupiter so much, it's better to ask the Ministry of Magic to go through the procedures as soon as possible to hand over the Black family's properties, especially a chocolate factory. I haven't been able to submit an application for that property so far. Yes, even the application I couldn’t even submit it.”
Regulus Black knew that Phineas in the portrait was on good terms with Cornelius Fudge.
"For the sake of the child Jupiter, I believe it is most appropriate to give her a chocolate factory as a gift. The negotiation with Fudge is up to you, Phineas!"
Regulus Black has already given the idea to Phineas, and it will depend on how good Phineas's relationship with Minister Fudge is.
Among the Black family's former industries, the chocolate factory can be said to be the top priority.
Because wizards cannot make food at will, due to their own magic power, and many plants are ordinary ingredients in the eyes of Muggles, but in the wizarding world they are all potion ingredients, so if a wizard aspires to become a chef, then What awaits him is one disaster after another. Who knows what will come out of the crucible, and even many magical animals appear from a pot of food.
Therefore, if you want to cook, you must use kitchen utensils that are isolated from magic. However, the dishes made by wizards themselves are definitely not as delicious as those made by house elves. Because they are not delicious, they will not cook them. This has become a vicious cycle. the process of.
And what does a factory that can stably provide chocolate, a factory that can produce various chocolates with special characteristics in the wizarding world, mean in the wizarding world? Every wizard will understand this question, that is, it is a gold mine, an endless supply of gold mine. .
Look at the candy shops, ice cream shops, coffee shops and restaurants in Diagon Alley. Those are the most profitable shops.
Therefore, after the chocolate factory was seized by the Ministry of Magic, not even other relatives of the Black family could take over.
"Leave this matter to me. Connelly and I have been old friends for many years."
The old man in the portrait blinked again, stroked his goatee, and disappeared into the frame.
Regulus Black knew that after no one in the Black family, Phineas loved Severus Snape, who was also the headmaster of Slytherin.
Although Phineas was not a very competent principal during his lifetime, his portrait in the original book gave Dumbledore, Harry, Hermione and Ron a lot of help. He provided Harry Potter with a lot of information, but Always wanted to provide Snape with Harry's whereabouts.
Because Snape regards Harry Potter as his child, and Phineas also regards Snape as his grandchild.
But now that Regulus Black is still there, Phineas's attention and care are naturally placed on his family, not to mention that this is a direct bloodline of the Black family.
"Regulus! It seems that you have found a job for Phineas, a very challenging job."
Dumbledore had returned to Hogwarts and heard the conversation between Regulus and Phineas.
Regulus Black showed a satisfied smile.
"Originally, it was just me, with enough food and clothing. Taking back the Black family's property was just my responsibility."
Pulling up a chair and sitting down, Regulus Black began to flip through Dumbledore's dessert collection.
"But now that I have an additional child, I must plan more actively for her future. If my generation cannot get back some things, it will be more difficult for the next generation, or even completely hopeless."
“Honey lemon tea!”
As soon as Dumbledore spoke, a large jar of honey lemon tea appeared on the coffee table. Regulus Black took over, conjured two large cups, iced the honey lemon tea, and poured a cup for both of them. A big cup, and then just like in Snape's office, he drank tea quietly, saying nothing and thinking about nothing.
"Can you tell me how the witch got pregnant this time?"
When Dumbledore saw the presence of the old god Regulus Black, he drank a large glass of iced honey lemon tea with him. As an old man, although he liked sweets, he couldn't bear such a large glass. The cold drink was churning in my stomach, which made me want to pee, but the room with its many beautiful chamber pots was gone.
Because the Room of Requirement is occupied by Regulus Black!
"Actually, it's very simple. It's just a curse. Cursing the other person to have a child about to be born, but the other person himself cannot see the birth of his child."
Regulus Black put down his empty glass. He didn't even drink from his previous speech at the Ministry of Magic.
"It's that simple! Just a curse can make a witch pregnant?"
Dumbledore was a little unbelievable. You must know that countless wizards are pursuing new curses. Although curses are also a kind of curses, they belong to the category of black magic. Moreover, curses basically harm people. I didn’t expect that they can also cause harm. Witches give birth.
If magic could be innovative so easily, then the Ministry of Magic wouldn't need an Experimental Spells Committee.
"I know it's hard to believe, but it's that simple. After a few months of pregnancy, a pregnant woman cannot see the birth of her child because of a curse. When the child is born, she herself dies. This is very important to her. In terms of human nature, this is a very tragic result, which is in line with the purpose of the curse, so this curse can be established."
