"James, do you know why I agreed to your marriage with Lily?" Albert sat in a chair with a serious face, and beside him were Lance and Ibsas.The three people can be said to represent the three periods of the Potter family, the Merlin period, the creation of Hogwarts by the four giants in the Middle Ages, and modern times.

James and Lily were taken aback, they really hadn't thought about this. "Our family has always been married to a pure-blood family, but Lily..." James looked at Lily, then at Albert and the three of them, "To tell you the truth, I have looked through Lily's family tree and the books of "The Chronicle of Wizards" , did not mention the surname 'Evans'. I was always wondering how you could accept a Muggle after giving up Malfoy as a pure-blood nobleman."

"At our time." Ibsas cleared his throat: "Merlin had just assisted King Arthur on the throne. At that time, some of the Knights of the Round Table and others were knighted - these people were wizards, the first duke, the third marquess and Ten Earls. These people followed Merlin and fled to the Forbidden Forest after King Arthur's throne was usurped. King Arthur's illegitimate son, Mordred, had a fierce battle with King Arthur. Mordred died in battle, and King Arthur went away to Avalon to heal his wounds. Okay, What I want to talk about now is those few great nobles."

"Duke Iveson, Marquess Malfoy, Prince and Potter, while the Earl is Black, Parkinson, Zabini, Diggory, Dorcat, McCaw, Longbottom, Greenglass, Wes Leigh and Knott. I believe that James, you and Lily have met some people. It is undeniable that although these great nobles are not hereditary titles for life, the glory of their ancestors is incomparable to other small nobles in the magic world. Relatively, more than ten centuries Come down, there are also some great nobles buried in the torrent of history, just like the ones you don’t know, they are basically extinct.”

Lance interjected: "Later, Hogwarts was established by the Big Four in the 10th century. I was the alchemy professor at Hogwarts at the time. At that time, Dorcat and McCoff had been completely wiped out, and Evelson was It is very strange, the number of family members is very small, except for the head of the family and the young master, the rest of the heirs are missing, and the rest of the collaterals are removed except for managing the family business, and the young masters selected by his family are all second sons. I remember that I had A colleague, Professor Trelawney, who teaches prophecy, is not at the same level as James you mentioned. Professor Trelawney at my time was very advanced. He made a prophecy for the Evelson family: the inheritance of all things, The guidance of time, the blessing of the elves, wandering in the gaps of space. The gift of Merlin, the curse of blood, the awakening of sleep, overcoming thorns and thorns, and gaining rebirth."

"It's Eveson we're talking about. It's safe to say that Evelson has disappeared for centuries. All we know for sure is that Evelson is hiding among the Muggles. There have been many instances of Squibs among the eldest sons due to the curse of their blood. , that curse was ordered by King Arthur to Merlin himself, and the reason is Guinevere, you should know that he is King Arthur's queen, but he committed adultery with Lancelot." Ibsas interrupted a gossip: "Who doesn't know that King Arthur In fact, Lancelot and Lancelot see eye to eye. My father is also a member of the Knights of the Round Table. So it is Guinevere's family that will be punished."

"Speaking of which, I believe you should also have thought of it. Evelson is a Scottish Celtic, just like Weasley, but Evelson has the blood of a natural elf, can manipulate natural elements, and the magic power is naturally purer. , more noble than Weasley. Most Celts have red hair." Ibsas continued to add: "No surprise, Evans is Evelson's branch in the Muggle world, it can also be said to be The direct descendants, after all, are the eldest sons who were sent out, right? I believe that in Lily’s generation, only two children were born, and the eldest daughter Petunia did not inherit magic. If the curse continues, it is impossible for Harry to have magical."

"However, no one in my family has ever talked about these things. I can say that my grandpa didn't even know about these things." Lily raised her eyebrows. This was a huge bomb for her. It wasn't a surprise or a shock, it was just a little bit of disbelief : "Don't be funny, my family is just ordinary Muggles."

Ibsas waved his hand, and wrote earnestly with a pair of light black eyes: "No, Lily, don't doubt, I remember that at the time of the knighthood, Merlin gave each family the same inheritance item, and our Potter family is a handle carved with vines. The silver knight's sword, James, you should have seen it."

"That's right. My father told me where to keep the knight's sword when I got the title of Patriarch." James nodded, knowing what Ibsas was going to say. "Then, what is the inheritance item of the Evelson family?"

"Their family is a bracelet wrapped around snake patterns."

James and Lily stayed together, and James was the first to react. He laughed: "Are you kidding me? Lily is a Gryffindor, snakeskin?! Are you kidding! This is the symbol of Slytherin!"

"When Hogwarts was founded, all the children sent by the Evelson family were Slytherins. It's just that during the Renaissance, the children of the Evelson family never appeared again." Albert spread his hands, very Regretful look: "Apart from the news I picked up from Gringotts, I really haven't seen any activities of the Evelson family anywhere else."

"Gringotts?" Lily didn't understand why it was related to Gringotts again.

Albert nodded: "Yes, over the past few centuries, there are still people who have put money into the treasury of the Evelson family. It can be seen that the offshoots of the Evelson family are very loyal. I would like to ask how these offshoots are Management, abide by the family's requirements, among the great nobles, this kind of thing is really not easy."

"Then how do I find this snake-pattern bracelet?" Lily didn't want to ask about side issues. She naturally knew what was going on in these things after living as a Muggle for so many years.But I also know that Albert doesn't really think those people are so honest, there should be some restrictions.

"I think this bracelet should be placed in the hands of the eldest son or eldest daughter. Maybe you used something to store it, you can ask?" Lance curled his lips and narrowed his narrow eyes slightly: "I remember that at that time The bracelets of Patriarch Evelson are imitation alchemy items, but this is still the highest honor, Grand Duke." His thoughts drifted away, as if he was nostalgic for something.

"Don't pay attention to him." At this time, a person popped out from the portrait next to him. The person looked very similar to Lance, but he felt completely different: "Every time he enters this state, he always thinks about Gabriel Evelson, the head of the Evelson family in that era." He raised his eyebrows and smiled playfully: "Lance will not marry for his life."

What kind of love story is this? Because the Playboy never married a person, James, Lily, Harry and those portraits burst into laughter as a matter of course. It was really retribution.

"Penny!"

Petunia, who was weeding in the yard, heard someone call her, and hurriedly put down the tools in her hand and looked at the person: "Lily..." Petunia hurriedly covered her mouth and looked around, "You're here!" Seeing Lily hugging and carrying Harry in the peaked cap stood by his mailbox, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly dragged the two into the house.

"Harry all right?"

Petunia touched Harry's ruddy face and checked. Dudley, who had just finished school, came downstairs: "Harry! You're fine!" Dudley rushed in front of Harry with a stride, still swallowing the cake: "Lily Auntie, good afternoon!"

"Dudley, take Harry upstairs to play, I have something to do with your mommy." Lily drove the two little guys upstairs with a smile, and did not meet Petunia's questioning eyes until the door was closed. "Petunia, did your father leave you anything when he passed away?"

"Why did you ask this all of a sudden?" Petunia was a little surprised: "There is something, but my father also said that it is useless, otherwise I would have shared it with you."

"It turns out there is something! It seems that Albert didn't lie to me." Lily told Petunia what she heard yesterday, and said that she was still a little helpless with such a life experience: "I never thought that our family is still a duke. If you really take down the position of Patriarch, it will really be a burden."

Petunia hugged the tired Lily, and comforted her softly: "I'm really sorry that I don't know magic, and I can't share it with you. I don't think I can do anything except support. Lily, you are the pride of our family, father and mother Will be proud of you."

Female patriarchs are relatively rare among most of the nobles, especially Lily's generation. There is no man in the direct line. Once she takes over the position of patriarch, troubles will follow.Lily didn't believe that those offshoots were really that loyal. "Penny, if I need you and Vernon to help me manage the Muggle business, would you be willing?"

"Lily, this isn't very good." Petunia looked at Lily in embarrassment, she didn't want to have a relationship with Lily because of money: "The situation between Vernon and I is very good now, if we intervene in a side business, someone will definitely Divide our relationship, after all, everyone thinks you are better than me, right?"

Lily held Penny's hand and smiled warmly: "Penny, you are my biological sister, and I will always believe in you. And I think asking you to help me is better than sending you a sum of money every month , it will make you more comfortable, and Vernon is so capable. Petunia, I just want you to live a better life, this is what James and I owe you, you don’t think about yourself, you also need to think about Dudley!"

Speaking of Dudley, Petunia hesitated, she lowered her head, hesitating endlessly: "I'll discuss it with Vernon when he comes back." She pulled Lily out of the living room: "Come to the study first, I'll take the box that my father left behind. for you."

The dark green quaint brocade box with a small dark gold buckle, Petunia carefully took it off the third bookcase, if others didn't know it, they would think it was just a beautiful decoration.The brocade box was well preserved, not at all like something left over from the [-]th century, and it wasn't covered in dust because it stayed on the bookcase all year round. It seemed that Petunia cherished the things left by her father very much.

Lily was about to open the brocade box, but Petunia shook her head and stopped her: "Don't open it, it can't be opened."

"How could this be?" Lily looked at the brocade box suspiciously, and put her hands on top of the brocade box.

"Could it be that magic needs to be used to open it?" Petunia patted Lily happily, "I heard you just said that this box is related to the wizarding world, so it must need to be opened by magic, and you said that every generation of eldest son is a squib, That means there's absolutely no way they'll be able to open the box."

Lily thought about it, and felt that what Penny said was right, she shook her right hand, and the magic wand that belonged to her immediately came from her sleeve to her wrist. I made it myself, and both myself and James are using it, which greatly increases the convenience of using the wand.

Pointing the wand at the brocade box, Lily read out the precise and smooth Alahoo opening from Lily's mouth, but there was no response from the box.

Lily tried to cast a stop spell again, but there was still no movement.

"Lily, is this useless?" Petunia was a little disappointed, she was looking forward to this ancient inheritance item.Unfortunately, it seems that I can't see it!

"No." Lily stared at the brocade box and shook her head. She frowned and said, as if talking to herself: "I can feel the weak magic fluctuations, there must be a way."

At this moment, the brocade box placed on the table suddenly trembled, causing Petunia to hide directly behind Lily. Lily also became vigilant, her body that had been polished by the battle tensed instantly, and her eyes did not dare to relax to pay attention to the movement of the brocade box every second. action.

It seemed like it was about to explode.This was the only evaluation of the box in Lily's mind.

Time also seemed to stop at this moment, except for some heavy breathing, no one dared to move.

After a long time, suddenly there was a thunderous sound of Bara's footsteps outside the study door, as if someone was chasing him, and then two high-pitched voices, Harry and Dudley, were heard calling.

"Mommy!"

"Mummy, Dudley and I baked cookies!"

The door behind him was knocked open, and two little guys rushed in, laughing and joking as they walked, eating a biscuit from time to time.

"Hey, Dudley, there's still food for Mummy and Auntie, don't take it anymore." Harry's laughing voice overwhelmed Dudley's snorting and chewing.

The atmosphere suddenly dropped from tense to relaxed.

Lily and Petunia wiped the sweat from their foreheads at the same time, looked back at the two little ones, and breathed a sigh of relief. They just wanted to talk about these two scary children, but at this moment, "Boom!" "Sound.

The brocade box that had been neglected for a while suddenly released a puff of white smoke, and for a moment the room was so quiet that no one spoke.
