The Silent Witch of Hogwarts

Chapter 647 Ansbach Family Meeting

"Fellow countrymen, it is a pleasure to meet you all this morning."

The banquet hall was dimly lit, with two rows of wizards sitting inside. It wasn't much different from when Loila last came; only the furnishings had been slightly changed. The tables, chairs, and chandeliers were exactly the same as before.

However, her seat had changed. She was no longer sitting in a corner as before, but in the main seat. Even Mr. William, who was temporarily in charge of the Ansbach family's affairs, could only sit next to Loira.

Moreover—as he glanced at the Ansbach family wizards through his mask, the way they looked at him had changed—no longer with the contempt and disgust he had shown when they first met.

Instead, they felt more fear and worry.

Was it because I was wearing a mask, or because of the passage of time?

Loila pursed her lips without speaking, but quietly looked at William and said, "This is the current leader of the Malachi Party—the famous silent witch, Miss Loila Hamilton."

As he spoke, Loila pursed her lips and then bowed slightly.

The other wizards quickly chimed in, "Welcome, Miss Hamilton!"

"Miss Hamilton has come to resolve the division within the Ansbach family—and the future of the Muscats." William paused before continuing, "Regarding the current division within the family—does anyone have anything they wish to say to Miss Hamilton?"

'

As he spoke, the wizards exchanged glances, and then one of them slowly raised his hand.

"Miss Hamilton, regarding the current division within the Ansbach family—after much thought, I don't believe—this matter should be handled by the Malay Party." He pursed his lips, seemingly a little guilty: "After all, we ourselves haven't been in contact with the Malay Party for a long time."

"Nonsense!" Before he could finish speaking, the banquet hall door was kicked open. It was the mad Matteo. He struggled to shake off several wizards and rushed to the wizard who had spoken.

In front of everyone, he raised his hand and slapped the man across the face, startling everyone.

"Don't you know how much Ms. Vida, as the leader of the UMNO, has taken care of our Ansbach family?!" he screamed. "We should all be grateful for the UMNO's help!"

"And praise to Ms. Vida!" he said, looking at Loila with eyes that resembled those of a hungry wolf eyeing its prey, making Loila shudder.

"Ms. Vida! I'm sorry to have bothered you. This ingrate is not a member of the Ansbach family at all!"

Before he could rush forward, several wizards swarmed him, grabbed him, and dragged him out of the banquet hall.

""

An awkward silence fell over the banquet hall after he left.

The wizard who had been slapped seemed speechless for a long time, sitting in his chair silently covering his face.

The others didn't dare to speak for a moment.

The entire meeting came to a standstill—and Loila thought for a few seconds, then pursed her lips and said, "Regarding the aid that Mr. Matteo mentioned earlier."

"What does that mean?"

Loila had never heard of this before. She thought the Ansbach family had simply distanced themselves from the Burma Party after Müller—but judging from Matteo's words just now, it seemed that the Burma Party had funded the Ansbach family for a long time.

"It's like this—" William wiped his face somewhat awkwardly, "I haven't had a chance to tell Miss Hamilton about this yet—"

"After Lord Grindelwald, the Ansbach family, as a family that had once supported the Mughal Party, also faced a purge—it was Lady Vida who stepped in to quell the matter."

"And because the Ansbach family had previously supported the UMNO, the UMNO provides the Ansbach family with some assistance every year."

"Among them are many financial figures."

Ok?

Upon hearing this, Loila immediately frowned.

Doesn't this mean that the UMNO has been giving money to the Ansbach family for nothing?

And now—you actually have the nerve to cause internal strife and all that—and that person just said we shouldn't meddle in other people's business—

Loila glanced slightly at the wizard who had just spoken. Because of the mask, everyone could only feel an inexplicable coldness and oppression.

"Miss Hamilton—please calm down," William quickly interjected. "We all support you, and we also support the Mughal Party."

"What Götze just said—those were all his own thoughts."

It's suspicious that they've severed ties so quickly.

Loila didn't speak, but instead looked around at the wizards sitting in the banquet hall—what a hassle—just thinking about how each of them had their own ideas.

Loila sensed a problem—these family matters were really not suitable for her; moving between different families was clearly more suitable for Miss Shiloh.

She couldn't help but think of Miss Shiloh again.

But where is Miss Shiloh now?

This is something Royla has no way of knowing.

Moreover, she had to speak in front of so many people—even though she had overcome her nervousness, Luo Yili was still reluctant to speak in front of others.

She paused for a few seconds, then said, "In that case—presumably everyone opposes Voldemort, right?"

Although the voice trembled slightly, no one could discern anything from the gaze of that mask.

As soon as she spoke, everyone in the banquet hall fell silent for a few seconds.

Then one after another, people stood up to speak.

Clearly, none of them wanted to clash with Voldemort—then they wanted to join the Vigilantes—and then they didn't want to fight against those who split their families.

Listening to their excuses, Loila felt her head buzzing—

No progress was made by the end of the meeting.

Compared to the unity and strict hierarchy within the Rozier family, the Ansbach family was much more chaotic, though this could also be attributed to the insane Matteo.

After all, even the head of the family is insane, so it's even more difficult to expect his subordinates to unite.

Loila sat in her room and sighed—things here were really too troublesome—Loila even missed Hogwarts a little, not just Hogwarts, but even the days of the Mafia.

Because it's more useful than having aimless meetings here—even though Voldemort's power is growing stronger, he's trapped here.

Not only could they not solve these problems, but they also couldn't find Miss Heero—nor could they return to Hogwarts—

There was nothing that could save Lord Grindelwald —

"Loila".

"Hmm?"

Miss Nagini's voice rang out from behind. As one of the few people who followed Loila closely, she naturally knew what Loila was thinking.

She leaned on Loila's shoulder and whispered, "Although I don't really want to get involved in the UMNO's affairs—"

"But Loila—I still want to help you."

She lowered her voice, which became somewhat cold: "Why should we care about their so-called rules?"

"All we need to do is target the opposition," she said. "We didn't necessarily want them to join the UMNO."

"We just don't want them joining Voldemort's side, do we?"

"Then—" Loila looked at Nagini as if she understood something.

"Then all we need to do is defeat Voldemort's faction."
