Chapter 252: Mocking the Reasons of Pure-Blood Families

Felix Harp raised his head from the black cover of "Magical Traits". "Miss Granger, you're wasting your efforts here. This is an external mapping of thoughts, not thoughts themselves. Once the magic is undone, everything will vanish."

The young witch spoke cheerfully, "At least it looks good, doesn't it?"

Felix shook his head, burying it behind the book, but he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. The feeling of being cared for was quite pleasant.

Then there were the presents he had unwrapped today, which had put him in a good mood.

Even though Christmas was tomorrow, some friends from far away had already sent gifts. But he found it strange why Bellby would think of giving him a bottle of Wolfsbane Potion? Bellby had already given it once, hadn't he? Did I really look like a werewolf? Even if Bellby wrote "the most satisfactory work at the moment" in the note, what did it have to do with him?

The only comforting thing was that Little Red Book Publishing and L.C.A. Comic Publishers sent the latest dividends, totaling eight thousand Galleons.

This time, the lion's share of the income went to Andis. In his letter, he mentioned "selling like crazy" three times, and the rest of the words were all suggesting that he "hurry and prepare a new book!"

Felix tossed his mail aside. Jokingly, one book a year would be enough; any more than that was really unnecessary. By the time the title of "Master of Memory Charms" became deeply ingrained, he intended to extend the frequency of publication to every two or three years.

Hmm, thinking like this, he should release his new paper. This paper contained the treatment data of the Lumbatons and a complete set of simple treatment methods. He believed the entire wizarding world would follow his quill's lead.

However, he should find a professional journal this time. The Daily Prophet was completely lacking in credibility...

And there was Navie; he also sent a gift. As for the outcome, Felix had no way of knowing.

Hermione's figure gradually became translucent, resembling the castle's ghosts to some extent. This was a manifestation of overuse of the mind; she could no longer maintain her consciousness stably.

Felix lifted the Thought Room spell.

"No need to rush, Miss Granger. You already have more 'time' than others," he hinted, conjuring some bottles and jars, "Pumpkin juice, butterbeer, honey water, fruit juice, take your pick."

Hermione poured herself a glass of fruit juice and added two drops of Elixir of Euphoria and Invigoration Draught. She drank a big gulp, feeling rejuvenated.

Hermione couldn't help but ask, "Why do I feel like I'm running out of time?"

"Nothing is absolute, but I do know at least one thing: the procedure is incorrect."

"What?"

"The procedure is incorrect, Miss Granger. Normally, according to the laws set by the Ministry, even if someone appeals, the matter should be first passed to the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures—the superior department of the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures—so they handle it. Unless the case is of particularly heinous nature and requires almost no trial, then it would be directly sent down. And the outcome of such hearings is rarely favorable."

Hermione fell silent for a few seconds, then said with indignation, "It's the Malfoys! They've influenced the Ministry's decision. I heard the Malfoy family donates a substantial amount of money to the Ministry every year!"

"A reasonable assumption," Felix nodded. He took a sip of butterbeer. "No need to get angry. Pure-blood families always have an extraordinary influence over these insignificant matters."

Hermione stared at him blankly. It seemed the Professor had quite a low opinion of pure-blood families?

"Pure-blood families are like a group of spiders, spinning a massive web over the years. They're well-informed, have numerous sources, and are adept at steering the wind. When they encounter little insects, even small birds, they can devour them whole... Even when faced with dangers they can't fight against, they can hide in dark corners and wait patiently for the danger to pass."

"Professor, are you saying they're fundamentally powerless against large creatures?" Hermione thought she understood the Professor's train of thought.

"No, I'm mocking them for being unambitious, for not making their spiderweb unbreakable, impenetrable."
