Chapter 5

People who are always successful, their words are very convincing in the eyes of others.

In Catherine's eyes, her precocious, precocious, and extremely intelligent son Kane belongs to this kind of person.

It was Kane who saved her and Stanley again and again. If it wasn't for this, he and Stanley wouldn't even have the chance to surrender, and would have died long ago on the way to escape.

Facts have also proved that Kane's plan always succeeds.

So, once again, Catherine implements Kane's new plan-to sell bitterness.

She took Kane to the Ministry of Magic to report.

She was looked down upon along the way, even the personnel officials who treated her didn't give her a good face.

The official brushed his skating hair back, raised his chin and said, "This is the Ministry of Magic, not a part-time kindergarten."

"Sir, please do me a favor. There are no relatives or neighbors to take care of Kane. He is too young and in poor health to take care of himself. Let me take him for a while, and I will find a way to settle him as soon as possible."

The official looked at Kane, who was sick, and felt somewhat sympathetic.

However, more importantly, he knew that Catherine would not be able to stay here for long anyway, so why should he be the one who offended people to death?

"I'm not unreasonable, but the Ministry of Magic has strict rules. If something happens to him..."

Catherine hurriedly said: "Don't worry, sir, Kane is very good, give him a small stool and he can sit for a day!"

The official looked at Kane again, and said to himself, "Looking at this, even if he is not stupid, he is not very smart. Another Stanley."

"Well, we have spoken first, your son must be good enough, and you must find a way to settle him as soon as possible."

"Yes, yes, thank you!" Catherine thanked with a grateful expression.

"Well, let's talk about your specific job."  …

When the mother and son left the office, the official looked at the backs of the two and said to himself, "This is the end of an ancient pure-blood family that has lost its power. But it is not worthy of sympathy. A pervert who plays taboo games for the sake of blood!"

Catherine Shafik was eventually assigned to handle the complainants.

This is an important window for the Ministry of Magic to the public. The work has always been notoriously difficult, and wizards who come to complain are often angry.

And the circle of wizards is that big, Catherine and the others know each other.

Abusing, insinuating, and even pointing at the nose and cursing, some people came to the door to scold. If it weren't for the fact that the Ministry of Magic still had a little bit of dignity, it is estimated that someone would directly do it.

Everything is as Kane told Catherine privately:

Back then, Stanley played the role of a vicious dog, openly bullying people and pulling hatred.

This hatred will not be eliminated just because of that little compensation.

Just like George Harrison, who spoke loudly in the public trial, said: the Shafiq family collapsed, and it was not ordinary wizards who really benefited.

The grant of pensions to the families of the victims is also in the name of the Ministry of Magic.

The victim would only say that it was a victory of justice and that I got the fine for me, not who the money originally belonged to.

Stanley squatted in Azkaban, which is what he deserved.

There is still a depression in my chest that is difficult to calm down.

until now.

You can use the guise of complaints to retaliate and vent.

Kane, who was by the side, has seen the unqualified side of the British during this period of time.

Also not unexpected. Generally speaking, the more something is missing, the more something is advocating. The British always brag about their gentleman's etiquette, but looking at the performance of those football hooligans and thinking about it seriously, it is not difficult to understand that the reality is always more skinny.

Of course, there are those who are knowledgeable and courteous, and there are also those who are smart and able to behave.

Dumbledore publicly published an article in the "Daily Prophet" about this.

In the article, he expounded the theory that implicating family members is tantamount to violence against innocent people.

At the same time, I regret the final verdict of the Stanley case.

Dumbledore believes that Stanley could have become a model for solving the problem of death eaters and dark wizards on the run through the "Daughter of Money".

Although the Wizarding Wars have become a thing of the past, the legacy has not been completely eliminated.

The Death Eaters and Dark wizards hunted by the Aurors have become increasingly cunning and vicious. They keep going beyond the bottom line, and they don't hesitate to make evil contracts with dark creatures, and even expose the existence of wizards to Muggles, mutilate Muggles and create chaos, etc. to get rid of the hunt.

Those who were driven to a dead end did die because of madness in the end, but the damage they caused before their death was also shocking, not only for Muggles, but also for the damage and loss caused to Aurors.

However, Dumbledore's appeals and condemnations were useless, some things had already happened, and some things were still happening.

After all, the Ministry of Magic still required Catherine to resign on her own initiative under the pretext of being 'unsuitable'.

Following Kane's suggestion, Catherine played a full set, begged and made troubles, and finally left sadly.

A total of twenty-six days of work.

The circle of wizards was very small, and almost everyone knew about Catherine's situation.

It's easy to say, Catherine is a pure-blood, a wealthy person, her family holds power and wealth, and now she is so down and down, the gap between clouds and mud is full of drama, people love this tune.

"It will be even worse for them in the future. They will have no source of livelihood, and they will sit and eat. Little Kane is in such a situation. When all the pawns that can be pawned are exhausted, they will be completely blinded, and they will become pure blood poorer than the Weasley family." Such a convincing prophecy.

The Weasley family is lying on the gun, there is no way, their family is so different, it is the joy of the entire British wizarding world, but other pure-blood families often talk about them with deep contempt, while ordinary wizards are mostly joking. The popularity of that family is still good, as to whether it is because of poverty, it is hard to say.

People are always more or less jealous of those who are richer than themselves, and look down on those who are poorer than themselves, and wizards are the same.

Kane obviously understands this, he knows the bad roots of human nature, and has been observing.

"It's still a little too late, entrust Nozawaen Castle for consignment, and then pawn the jewelry and furniture. Be careful to pawn the pawn, and put on a posture that you will redeem it when you have money. This is true."

"But, in case someone pays to buy Nozawa Garden..."

Catherine knew that it was the place where her son had planned long ago.

The last confrontation between the family and the Aurors took place near there before Stanley surrendered. At that time, Kane went to the castle to complete a series of arrangements, and Stanley was secretly targeted for his stupidity, and the battle finally broke out.

Kane said with confidence: "Nozawa Garden Castle, ordinary people can't afford it. Those who can afford it will definitely overwhelm them and let us take the initiative to lower the price to a very low level. Those people are like that. greedy."

"They didn't think about it. We insisted on going our own way and chose to be taken away by the Ministry of Magic? You must know that there is some compensation for that, after all, it is a secret realm."

"Then they will make a deal with the Ministry of Magic, and have another way. All in all, everything is premeditated. Unless we can continue to maintain the basic operation of the magic magnetic shield, no matter what we choose, it will be in their calculations .”

Seeing that Kane was so determined, Catherine thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

"Don't worry, the end of all hardships is about to come." Kane comforted: "If you are poor, you want to change. When we seem to be extremely poor and have to find a way to find a way out, the old aunt's card can be played justifiably. Doubtful."

Catherine felt that what her son said made sense. However, neither she nor Kane could have imagined that besides smart people in this world, there is also a kind of people called straight people. This kind of guy who accepts death can sometimes add some variables...
