Hogwarts Asylum

At noon, O'Loughlin held a letter and thought.

This letter was sent by Hydra Avery, the matron of the Avery family.

Mrs. Avery's original name was Hydra Tang. Like Oralin, she was also a mixed-race Slytherin. She was three grades younger than Oralin. However, Oralin had not communicated with her. He only heard about it. Her father is a declining Spanish nobleman who settled in England. Perhaps for this reason, her character is more enthusiastic and cheerful than other Slytherins, but it is also limited.

The reason why O'Loughlin was impressed by her was because she was engaged to Scott Avery, the patriarch of the Avery family, not long after she graduated. Then less than a month later, on the eve of the wedding, due to Voldemort's disappearance, she His fiancé was arrested by the re-emerging Ministry of Magic on charges of being a Death Eater. After a trial, he was sent to Azkaban, where he died not long after.

This is not what attracts O'Loughlin's attention. What really impresses O'Loughlin is——

At that time, Eurolin, who had basically mastered the detailed list of Death Eaters through the atlas, did not find that there was a figure like Scott Avery among the Death Eaters.

This means that either Scott Avery has the ability to be immune to the Human Trace Curse, or that Scott Avery is Voldemort's back-up man and only makes remote contact, or... he has never been a Death Eater. .

The first situation was the one that Orolin ruled out first, because it was impossible for a person with this kind of ability to die violently not long after being sent to Azkaban. You must know that many Death Eaters were killed by Aurors. They were chased and seriously injured, captured, and then put on trial. They were randomly given a bottle of healing potion and sent to Azkaban. But they are still alive and still lingering in despair.

The second scenario was also ruled out by Orolin, because if so, how did the Ministry of Magic discover him?Oralin didn't believe that the Ministry of Magic had the ability to know secrets that even he, the second most powerful Death Eater, didn't know.

As for the third situation, that is very interesting. A person who has never been a Death Eater is sent to Azkaban as a Death Eater, and then dies in prison not long after. This thing sounds very strange. It smells like a conspiracy, it's completely the internal strife of a pure-blood family.

However, although the Ministry of Magic's ability to do things has always been criticized in the wizarding world, except for Black, who thought he had killed Peter and was imprisoned without pleading guilty, O'Loughlin had never heard of Wizenga. The Tribunal will try the wrong person, or at most the sentence will be too harsh, or they will catch the person but let him go for some reason, or they will not even catch the person.

If Scott Avery is the scapegoat, then who has the ability to make him the scapegoat?

Moreover, conclusive evidence is needed to try the patriarch of a pure-blood family. If the evidence is insufficient, it will be difficult for the Ministry of Magic to convict the patriarch of a pure-blood family, because it can easily trigger a collective riot in the pure-blood family, and the consequences will be comparable to The Death Eater rebellion was much more serious, otherwise Lucius would not have been able to escape trial by lying about being controlled by the Imperius Curse.

But it is unknown what evidence the Ministry of Magic has. Even Fudge couldn't find out what happened at the beginning. So in order to find out about this matter, of course it was also for fun. From time to time, Eurolin would pay attention to Eloquent through Lucius. Trends in the Free family.

But all they got was specious information. For example, Mrs. Avery, against all opinions, added the jewelry industry to the Avery family's original gold industry, making the original industry single, and Avery had begun to decline because of this. The family regained its vitality, and with this, she secured her position as the head of the family.

For example, Mrs. Avery has a chaotic private life and often invites people from other pure-blood families, even members of her own family, to Avery Manor for private meetings.

For example, Mrs. Avery's father once sent her a letter, but she burned it in public without even reading it.

Lucius also mentioned that there have been rumors within the pure-blood family that the reason why Scott Avery died violently in Azkaban was because his fiancée's lover spent a lot of money, but this rumor It had no impact on the Avery family.

Of course, this was also because they didn't know that Scott Avery might not have been a Death Eater.

Olorin tested it out, and many people in the pure-blood family, including Lucius, believed that Scott Avery was indeed a member of the Death Eaters. After all, at that time, except for those whose identities were disclosed internally, There are also many people who wear masks to hide their heads and tails. Many Death Eaters actually don't know the specific identity of the people sitting with them. Only people who are close to them can judge it through their movement habits.

But no matter what, in O'Loughlin's view, Hydra Avery was definitely not innocent in this matter, but what role she played is still unknown.

In the consulting room, Oralin gently put down the letter in his hand. Judging from the content of the letter, Mrs. Avery claimed to have found out about the transaction between Oralin and the Malfoy family regarding alchemical items. She wanted to get involved, so Invite Orolin to a banquet at Avery Manor on the second day of Halloween, that is, next Friday night, and even leave a bright red lip print on the parchment.

But the real purpose of this woman was somewhat unclear to Oluolin.

Although for the Everly family, which focuses on the jewelry business, alchemy jewelry with additional functions can indeed be the icing on the cake, this does not require Oluolin's intervention at all. If the Everly family just wants to make more money Money, there are many low-end alchemists in the magic world who can make alchemical jewelry suitable for ordinary wizards to wear.

Moreover, most of the alchemy items made by Olorin are very expensive, and ordinary wizards cannot afford them.

Oralin was thinking that she was probably coveting the status of the Malfoy family in the pure-blood family, and wanted to use the high-end alchemy items made by Oralin to win over people from other pure-blood families, but Mrs. Avery, who was good at dancing, did not You need to contact Oluolin, at least the tone in her letter does not need to be so respectful.

But it doesn’t matter. Anyway, if the Avery family and the Malfoy family fight over alchemy items, Orolin will benefit in the end. As for Orolin’s closer relationship with the Malfoy family, that does not affect Lucius. I still owe Oluolin a thoughtful apprenticeship ceremony, so just increasing the price is quite good.

I don't think Draco would have any reaction because of such a trivial matter. After all, if the money is gone, he can make it again, not to mention that it is impossible for the Malfoy family to suffer from that kind of money, but Oralin's inherited alchemy , if you miss it, it will really be gone.
