Harry Potter and the Legend of the Temple

Chapter 142 The family standing at the pinnacle of wizards

"Five thousand gold galleons!"

A loud voice appeared from the right side of the stand, suppressing the momentum of the initially tentative bidding.

"Five thousand gold galleons? That's so much all at once?" Louis was a little confused. Almost no one knew about a brand new potion. Who could be so generous and spend five thousand gold galleons all at once?

"What do you think?"

"No way? You bought the Fountain of Life last time, right?"

Dumbledore smiled and did not answer, but there was already a bustling discussion in the stands.

"Is it Driscana? I wonder if it had any effect after he bought the Fountain of Life last time."

"Idiot, his reaction must be very effective."

"That's not necessarily true, just in case it's the auction agent."

"Who dares to be the agent of Cliona's auction and risk his life?"

The patriarchs of the wizard family were discussing the matter very enthusiastically, but none of them seemed to have raised the price.

"Ten magic coins once, ten magic coins twice, ten magic coins three times!"

"Ten...eleven magic coins." An uncertain voice tried.

"Seven thousand five gold galleons is (fifteen magic coins)!" Driscana decisively called out the price again, as if he didn't care.

"Sixteen magic coins."

"You guys are really..." Driscana pressed the machine decisively, "Ten thousand gold galleons (twenty magic coins)!"

Ten thousand gold galleons? Another ten thousand gold galleons? This is the second time that an item worth 10,000 gold galleons has been auctioned.

This year's auction indeed gave the guild a big surprise, but according to Master Gandalf's estimate, this bottle of potion seems to be more than this price.

Milia never showed much expression. No matter how much money Driscan paid, her eyes were always fixed on the private room on the second floor.

In those families with extremely deep family backgrounds, no one seems to have any intention of taking action.

"Ten thousand gold galleons, I'm afraid this value is not enough." Dumbledore also aimed his sights at several surrounding private rooms.

"They won't take action, right?" Louis asked uncertainly.

"No, it will definitely be." Dumbledore paused, "It's just that they are waiting."

"Which clan leader can't help but take action first." Old Dengtou said calmly, as if watching a play, "It seems that the family that takes action first will have the upper hand, but in fact, in the auction, the latecomers have a greater advantage. "

"Twenty magic coins three times!"

Milia's final hammer seemed to be deliberately delayed by half a beat, but at the moment she was about to knock it down, the red light came on in the private room on the second floor.

Louis saw that in the room next to Lucius Malfoy, his price was clearly written on the magic display:

Twenty-five magic coins!

The wizard family in the private room spent a lot of money, and directly pressed down five magic coins.

"It's the Crabbe family. They are quite impatient people. Even Lucius might not have thought of it."

After hearing Dumbledore's words, Louis could probably guess what he meant. One of Draco Malfoy's two followers was named Crabbe, so the Crabbe family should have a very good relationship with the Malfoy family. But relative to overall strength, Crabbe is still lower than Malfoy.

"Damn it, Bruce." Lucius cursed secretly. The moment he took out the magic wolf potion, he knew where it came from. Naturally, the higher the price of the potion, the more unhappy he became.

Originally, he was praying that no wizard in this private room would be interested in this, so he could just make the final decision, but who would have thought that it was the silly Crabbe next to him who muddied the waters and raised the price again.

Of course, he didn't think Crabbe could snatch the potion away.

Not long after the price of the twenty-five magic coins fell, three families suddenly entered the competition. Louis discovered that Mr. Greengrass, who had just been fighting with him, was also among them.

Naturally, the Crabbe family's funds could not compete with the three established wizard families. When the price soared to thirty magic coins, two wizard families voluntarily withdrew from the competition.

"Osnet, please don't argue with me. I know where your bottom line is." On the language channel opened by magic in the private room, Mr. Greengrass frowned. He heard this voice. He seemed to hesitate for a long time.

This language channel did not include Private Room 1 because Dumbledore did not come often before.

"Forty magic coins!"

In the No. 2 private room opposite Dumbledore, a red light suddenly lit up, and the eye-catching "forty" was reflected on the magic screen. This domineering operation immediately silenced everyone.

Mr. Greengrass silently put down his hand and sighed helplessly. He believed that his family had enough say in the wizarding world, but even if all his family's wealth were combined, it might not be half as much as the one who stood at the top of the wizarding family.

Now that he was at his peak, it seemed that no one except Dumbledore could restrain him.

"It's over, no one will bid anymore."

Just as Dumbledore said, the whole place was silent for half a minute. When Miria made the final decision, everyone calmed down.

"Congratulations to VIP No. 2 for winning this magic wolf potion for forty magic coins."

Louis was still in a trance at the moment. He never expected that this magic wolf potion could be sold for 20,000 gold galleons!

As for this mysterious second guest, Lewis had heard Dumbledore say before that they were none other than the Lestrange family.

"This Lestrange family actually has such a background?" Louis couldn't believe it, because the original book mentioned very little about this family.

"Lestrange belongs to one of the oldest wizarding families, as famous as Sirius's Black family." Dumbledore slowly explained to Louis, "Of course, the old pure-blood families will have the concept of blood. "Look, Lestrange is almost obsessed with blood, so when Voldemort rose, the Lestrange family was the first group of people to support Voldemort."

"But Voldemort has fallen, won't they be affected?"

"It's not that simple, Louis. The decline of many wizarding families is due to pure-blood blind dates, but Lestrange is the only family that thrives on pure-blood blind dates. Their industries are spread throughout the United Kingdom, although their orthodox heirs Rodolphus Lestrange and his wife Bellatrix were imprisoned in Azkaban, but the entire family did not suffer any blow due to their strong control."

"That's great, but in such a big family, not everyone supports Voldemort and is a Death Eater, right?" Louis asked, trying to extract some of Dumbledore's words to find the answer he wanted.

Perhaps Dumbledore should know something about that incident thirteen years ago.

"Yes, there are always a few kind-hearted people."

"Professor, do you know them?"

Dumbledore glanced at Louis, but did not have much communication on this topic.

"I will talk to you about this issue later. Now I think our topic is here."

Damn it, Louis had forgotten about Dumbledore's powerful Legilimency. Maybe he should know something now. No, he had to learn Occlumency quickly, otherwise there would be no secrets for Dumbledore.

Just as he was thinking this, Louis looked down. What Milia was holding was the final lot of this auction, the boundary stone of Gunter's old house.
