A week before the Christmas holidays, Rambo tells Scott that he and the crows have found the location of the Carrows and the Rolls.
“Not just Carlo and Rolle, the Foley family held a banquet. We simply followed those carriages and found the locations of many families.” Rimbaud said, “Of course, the most interesting thing is not this.”
“The Foley family?” Scott asked, “One of the three families competing for Travers’ inheritance. Has anything happened to this matter?”
Rimbaud said the key point, “Yes, the Yaxley family attended the banquet hosted by the Foley family. I saw that the head of the Yaxley family and the leader of the Foley family had a very happy conversation.”
Scott was a little surprised when he heard this.
Is this the result of those three families being calm for a while? Foley and Yaxley team up?
It’s not impossible.
After Jak Yaxley’s death, the Yaxley family could no longer find a candidate to succeed Trivers, and their participation in the fight did not make much sense other than fighting for their breath.
In this case, if they choose to help the Foley family, they can get paid afterwards, which is a substantial benefit.
And when these two families join forces, the Bosted family’s chances of winning are very small.
“Tsk.”
Regarding the current development of the incident, Scott could only express his displeasure in a small way.
He secretly promoted the fight for Travers’ inheritance because he wanted to take revenge on the Yaxley family. Unexpectedly, they now showed signs of escaping.
“But this doesn’t mean anything. It’s still unknown who the Travers family’s inheritance belongs to. After all, there are other families behind the scenes who are driving the Ministry of Magic to covet this inheritance.”
Although he said this, Scott knew that as of now, the heir proposed by the Foley family had the greatest chance of successfully inheriting the Travers family.
After all, only the Foley, Bursted, and Yaxley families were related to Travers by marriage, and only the heirs they proposed had part of Travers’ blood.
Although the Ministry of Magic has also come to an end, it is not justified in its name.
Moreover, the so-called Ministry of Magic is not a whole, and the interests in it are complicated. The interests of the pure-blood families hidden behind it are not consistent.
“Continue to keep an eye on them.” Scott said to Rimbaud. “In addition to the tasks related to Carlo, I also want to know what prompted Yaxley to make up his mind to stand with Foley and no longer care about Jak. Yaxley’s death.”
Rimbaud knew what Scott meant and nodded in agreement.
It joked, “Maybe the Travers find out that Jake Yaxley was assassinated by someone from the Burst family.”
Scott laughed when he heard this.
Others don’t know why Jak Yaxley disappeared, but he knows it clearly as the one who did it.
Although the course of revenge against Yaxley seems to have taken an unexpected turn, Scott is not impatient.
Today’s Yaxley family has probably forgotten about this little wizard who has become irrelevant again. He still has a lot of time to plan again.
After bidding farewell to Rimbaud, Scott met Grapeland again when leaving the Forbidden Forest.
However, this time the teaching assistant did not come out of the Forbidden Forest, but just left Hagrid’s hut.
Scott took the initiative to say hello to her.
Grapeland seemed to be used to Scott’s behavior of sneaking into the forbidden forest from time to time, so he just let him go after making a few jokes.
On the way back to the castle, Scott remembered that he originally wanted to ask Dumbledore about the identity of the teaching assistant.
It’s just that it’s not easy to meet Dumbledore at Hogwarts. After all, the old principal is a busy man and only appears in front of the students occasionally.
So Scott changed his mind.
Of course, he didn’t mean to go to the principal’s office.
After the last conversation, Scott didn’t really want to meet the old principal now.
Mainly a little embarrassed.
He knew that Dumbledore had said those words to him out of good intentions, but he really couldn’t make changes like the old headmaster advised.
Scott walked around the castle and finally found Helena in the garden.
“Good afternoon, Helena.” Scott greeted him familiarly.
Helena, who was standing by the flowers, turned back and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Miss Grapeland, the teaching assistant for the Care of Magical Creatures class.” Scott sat on the stone bench next to the bushes.
Helena didn’t seem to pay attention to the teaching assistant. She thought for a while before she understood who Scott was talking about, “Her?”
“As far as I know, Wilmina Grapeland graduated from Gryffindor.” Scott said, “But Miss Grapeland, who is now a teaching assistant, the ‘color’ of her magic is more inclined to Ravenclaw. ”
Helena was a little surprised, “You mean, this assistant coach is not the real Wilmina Graplan? By the way, Graplan…”
She seemed lost in thought as she muttered the last name.
“I remembered,” she said to Scott, “Ravenclaw also had a Grapeland, Stephanie Grapeland. She probably graduated almost 10 years ago.”
Scott didn’t expect that he would really gain something from Helena. “Maybe it’s Stephanie who is the assistant coach now, not Wilmina? Are they sisters?”
“Probably, I just remember that Ravenclaw once had such a name.” Helena didn’t seem to be sure, “You know, I don’t pay attention to the relationship between students.”
“Do you think Dumbledore knows about this?” Scott asked her.
Helena looked down at him, “You want me to mention this to Dumbledore?”
Scott nodded, “I don’t really like going to the principal’s office.”
“I don’t like it either,” Helena said.
“Okay.” Scott smiled helplessly, “Then I’ll ask Professor Dumbledore one day when I meet him.”
“Huh, I’ll go.” Helena glanced at him and drifted straight back to the castle.
Scott watched her back disappear, stood up and walked slowly out of the garden.
That night, Scott met Helena again in the Ravenclaw common room library.
“I have already asked Dumbledore,” Helena told him. “Dumbledore knows about this. Wilmina was injured during an expedition, and her sister Stephanie took her place as a teaching assistant. “
After she said these words, she drifted away without telling the reason why Stephanie mentioned Wilmina’s name.
“That’s good,” Scott said with a smile.
He didn’t care whether the so-called injuries and substitutions were true or false. Now that Dumbledore knew about it, he was relieved.
