From Azkaban

This is actually normal. After all, fertility is a seemingly insignificant but actually extremely important root issue for any race or country.

The wizard community has always had extremely serious fertility problems. Although they hold omnipotent idealistic magic, they have never been able to solve this problem.

However, perhaps it is precisely because magic is too idealistic that wizards have not solved the fertility problem, because they firmly believe that this problem cannot be solved.

"There is no clue about this matter at the moment," Locke shook his head in response to Grindelwald's question. Seeing him like this, Grindelwald smiled slightly, "No clue? Then Professor Cazier, how about we do an experiment? I will select an outstanding young witch, and you can select a Weasley. Sir, come and take a look at the situation one by one."

Grindelwald's words were taken for granted, but this was normal. He was the first generation Dark Lord and a genuine wizard of this world, so this experimental political marriage was absolutely fine in his opinion.

"Uh..." Locke didn't expect that the old guy would have this plan. After being stuck for a moment, he turned his head to look at him. After retracting his gaze, he did not refuse, but thought for a few seconds.

Locke thought about it and felt that it was worth a try. This could also determine whether there was really something in the Weasley family's bloodline. If it did exist, he could try to see if it could be extracted and cultivated.

"I won't force the people behind me, but you can go and ask. If Arthur and his children are willing, you can give it a try."

In just a few words, an extremely feudal arranged marriage is about to be finalized. Envy...feudal, it's really too feudal!

Dumbledore, who had been listening on the side, glanced at the two of them helplessly, shook his head slightly, and looked down at Katie, who had just turned on the death CD and returned from the cemetery. At this moment, the girl raised her wand in her hand and stared at Draco in the distance with cold eyes.

Just at this moment, a digital ring suddenly appeared in front of the girl. Seeing this, Katie did not hesitate. She swung the broom handle and dived into the digital ring.

"Shh!"

The perfectly simulated air in the magic net was torn apart, and Katie's figure, who passed through the digital ring, became blurred in an instant, and her body seemed to be stretched. In just a blink of an eye, she appeared behind Draco, who was casting a spell on George and preparing to avenge his teammates.

"All petrified!"

"Shattered to pieces!"

Katie, whose mind and herself were accelerated, cast two spells in succession at a speed that ordinary wizards could not react to, and they landed on the unsuspecting Draco one after another.

"Bang!" The spell fell, Draco was first petrified, and then hit by the crushing spell.

"Shed your skin and escape!"

One Draco turned into pieces, and a Draco without the green Quidditch uniform robe appeared a few meters away, looking around with a look of horror.

Volume 1: Chapter 184: This is not Slytherin at all

Dazzling flashes of magic kept lighting up and going out in the arena, and the cheers of the audience on the platform sounded like waves, one after another.

At this moment, a full half hour had passed since the start of the game, and on the field, both Gryffindor and Slytherin teams had become scattered.

Above the stadium, the red and green flags representing Gryffindor and Slytherin were fluttering in the wind, and next to the flags were the scores of the two teams so far.

Because Gryffindor has the three Weasley brothers, Slytherin is slightly inferior in terms of combat power and magic, which also causes Slytherin's current score to be behind.

"Oh!"

Another fierce magic battle, the two beams collided with each other, the magic power exploded and raged at the point of collision, blowing a Quaffle flying nearby in another direction.

While the two young wizards were fighting each other with magic, on the other side, Draco, who had temporarily gotten rid of Ron's entanglement, picked up the Quaffle that fell beside him and rushed towards the Gryffindor goal.

In the current competition, all the young wizards no longer need to fight for the Quaffle, because the Quaffle that George had previously shot out with the Copying Spell has never disappeared.

Moreover, those Quaffles that lost momentum and fell into the void did not disappear. Instead, after hitting the bottom, they passed through the space and fell from above the stadium.

This has led to the current situation and has greatly limited the space for the young wizards to use magic in combat. After all, the two players who were eliminated previously and the several fireballs that are still moving at high speed with long tail flames on the field have made the young wizards realize that if they don't want to be eliminated, they have to avoid hitting the ball with magic.

"The Snitch!"

Just as Draco was calculating what combination of magic to use to form an offensive to break through Wood's guard, the audience on the platform exclaimed.

When the young wizards on the field heard this voice, they all became energized, tacitly gave up the confrontation, and raised their heads to look around.

From the beginning of the game to now, they have not seen the Golden Snitch. In fact, not only them, but also the audience on the platform have not seen it.

This is why the audience exclaimed after seeing the Golden Snitch at this moment. From the audience's perspective, a barely visible golden stream of light is constantly stretching across the field.

And obviously, that was the golden snitch that had disappeared for half an hour.

"Catch it!"

Wood was the first to discover the Golden Snitch. Looking at the golden trail that kept stretching and then fading away in his sight, he pointed his finger at the direction of the stream of light with an excited look on his face.

Following Wood's guidance, all the young wizards on the field saw the golden light drawn by the Golden Snitch. The nearest Slytherin team member immediately changed direction without hesitation and rushed towards the newly refreshed digital ring not far away.

At this moment, the distribution of players on the field has become a little chaotic. It is no longer like before that it is clear which player should do what. Instead, as long as the opportunity is right, any player can do the right thing.

"The Golden Snitch appears. If we can catch it, the game will be over."

On the disc platform, Lucius's sight was also locked on the golden track. As he spoke, he turned his gaze to look at the game score above the field.

Red 80/Green 70

This is the current score difference between the two teams, with Gryffindor having ten points more than Slytherin, and the score for catching the Golden Snitch is 150 points.

The sudden appearance of the Golden Snitch immediately became the focus of attention on the field. The players all stared at it, and the spectators on the platform also stared at it.

Everyone understands that the Golden Snitch is still the most crucial factor in deciding the game as before.

Figures on broomsticks passed through the digital ring, increasing their speed and rushing towards the Golden Snitch.

"Oh!"

Suddenly, a uniform cry of surprise rang out from the platform, and all the audience's eyes shifted from the Golden Snitch to Draco.

Just now, Draco, who was originally preparing to attack, decisively changed his decision after discovering the Golden Snitch. After turning the Quaffle in his hand into a fireball and throwing it out, he cast a copying spell without hesitation.

For a moment, the entire arena was a little brighter, and while everyone else was startled by the sudden attack and was trying to dodge by accelerating, Draco, with an extremely determined expression, made a bold decision.

He did not choose to chase the Golden Snitch immediately. Instead, he quickly turned his eyes and searched the stadium, then rode his broom towards a digital ring in the distance.

Then, just as the audience on the platform focused their attention on him because of his actions, Draco, who had passed through the digital ring, turned around without hesitation and passed through two more digital rings in the blink of an eye under the gaze of the audience.

In just a moment, Draco's speed reached its limit, and his figure was like a golden snitch, leaving a long tail, and this was the reason why the audience exclaimed.

You know, the acceleration of the digital ring is not unlimited. Relying on the abilities of the little wizards, they can basically only control the acceleration once.

Once the acceleration is reached twice, even with the benefits brought by the acceleration, it is still difficult for young wizards to control that kind of extreme speed.

For example, Katie, the female member of the Gryffindor team who wanted revenge on Draco, had tasted the sweetness of acceleration once. After being sent away by Draco again, she thought about accelerating twice. However, she couldn't control herself and crashed into the edge of the field, and was completely eliminated.

But now, Draco chose three accelerations without hesitation, which was undoubtedly a very bold and risky decision.

You know, as the price of sending Katie away again and dying together with Ron, Draco now only has one "life" left.

"This is not something a Slytherin would do. Well... that's not right. I can't completely deny it."

In the stands, many Slytherin parents subconsciously felt incomprehensible about Draco's reckless behavior. After all, such risky things should be done by the reckless men of Gryffindor.

But on second thought, these old snakes suddenly felt that what Draco did was not wrong. After all, weighing the pros and cons, it was actually feasible to give it a try now.

After all, unlike the outside world, death in the magic network is not real death. If you choose to fight decisively, once you succeed, you will gain a unique glory in the future. This kind of thing is feasible no matter how you think about it.

"Such a decisive decision, he is worthy of being the next head of the Malfoy family. With such an outstanding heir, coupled with his status as Lord Cazier's student, the future prosperity of the Malfoy family is unshakable."

Volume 1: Chapter 185: The Army's Morale is Reassured

Draco, who was triple-accelerated, came from behind but was the first to arrive. His body seemed to have been stretched into a line and he quickly passed by several players who were also chasing the Golden Snitch, and rushed towards the Golden Snitch first.

The ultimate speed competition is also very entertaining, but when looking at Draco who was quickly closing the distance with the Golden Snitch in the field, many wizards did not show any expectations. Instead, they sighed and shook their heads slightly.

"No chance. The Golden Snitch is not just fast. The reason why it is hard to catch is not its speed, but its super maneuverability of changing direction quickly even at high speed."

"I didn't expect that this little wizard could actually control such speed. However, it is unrealistic to catch the Golden Snitch with just speed."

"Tsk, he's almost at the edge of the arena, he definitely can't turn, but this decisive choice is still commendable."

Most of the audience did not approve of Draco's behavior, but the fact was just as they said, Draco had reached his limit at this moment, facing a speed far beyond his control, his nerves were stretched to the extreme, and his face was severely deformed.

But compared to his physical limits, Draco's eyes never wavered, and he kept staring at the Golden Snitch not far in front of him.

Thanks to the acceleration, Draco could now clearly see the Golden Snitch, its shiny golden surface and its wings flapping so fast that they were almost smoking.

Draco gripped the broom with increasing force. He knew that he only had one chance. He was well aware that he could not complete the turn. If he wanted to catch the Golden Snitch, he had to stay in a straight line.

Silently calculating the distance to the edge of the playing field, Draco quickly came to the conclusion that the current speed was not enough. Perhaps if he was given a little more distance he would be able to succeed, but that was exactly what he lacked now.

"No! I can't fail! My father, mother and teacher are all watching here. As the heir of the Malfoy family and the teacher's student, how can I fail in this situation and in this manner!"

Draco became more and more anxious, but he did not regret his risky choice. He kept Locke's teachings in mind. Since it was his own choice, he should not regret it, because regret could not solve any problem.

Either be extremely decadent and give up everything, or be extremely positive and face everything. Even in a desperate situation, you must look for opportunities before the last second!

"Even in a desperate situation... before the last second..."

Draco, who was unable to turn his head at the moment, quickly moved his eyes, constantly checking the situation around him.

Draco knew very well that it was totally unrealistic to cast the spell on his own now, and only external forces could bring him any chance.

"No, it's too far. This one won't work either. I can't turn around. No, no, no..."

As his eyes swept across the digital circles, Draco's time was running out and he became more and more anxious.

"...It's a bit anxious, but it's normal for children."

In the stands, Locke thought silently in his heart. He did not speak ill of Draco, but at the same time he still had expectations for him. He believed that as his student, Draco must not have given up at this moment.

"Draco..."

Narcissa and Lucius' clasped hands gradually tightened due to nervousness, and Lucius also frowned at this moment. He was not angry because of Draco's choice, but was nervous for his son.

“It’s almost the end”

Behind Draco, the little wizards who chose to give up because of his behavior were also paying attention to Draco. Ron rode on the broom, calculating how to chase the Golden Snitch after Draco failed.

Just as everyone was waiting for a predetermined result, Draco, who had almost pressed his body flat on the broom, suddenly perked up, and his eyes, which had been squinted by the wind pressure, slightly widened.

"Chance!"

Draco made a very dangerous move. He suddenly turned in a large arc at such a high speed. The next moment, he unsurprisingly encountered all kinds of negative situations. The most notable of these was the control over his own flying posture and balance.

"Ouch!"

Seeing this scene, the audience on the platform who were watching the video in slow motion all exclaimed, thinking that Draco was in trouble.

But little did he know that this was all within Draco's expectations. He turned and suddenly passed through a digital circle. The next moment, relying on the force of another acceleration, he not only successfully stabilized himself, but also corrected the direction and rushed towards the Golden Snitch at a faster speed.

"Oh!"

In less than a second, Draco accelerated again and caught up with the Golden Snitch. Then he rushed to the edge of the field, and a ball of light bloomed like fireworks.

"......"

Everyone was silent at this moment, but many wizards who reacted quickly raised their heads and looked at the score above the field.

Red 80/220 Green

"Game over"

At the same time, the announcement sounded, "The winner is the Slytherin team!"

"Oh!!! Slytherin!"

It has to be said that Draco's performance opened the eyes of all the audience, and also changed the views of many adult wizards who initially looked down on them because of their age and unprofessionalism.

On the roundabout stands, Locke raised the corners of his mouth in a satisfied smile, and was the first to raise his hand and clapped gently.

"very nice"

As Locke started, Dumbledore and Grindelwald beside him also raised their hands and applauded.

"Great! Draco succeeded!"

Narcissa excitedly clenched Lucius's hand. Locke's praise just now was clearly heard by the back. As a mother, she just felt extremely happy now.

"That boy, I don't know what's going on, why do I feel like he should go to Gryffindor."

Lucius was very happy and couldn't stop smiling, but he was muttering about other things. Mainly, he was thinking of Ron. He felt that there must be something wrong with the two children. Shouldn't they be switched?

"You are worthy of the praise, but the three children of the Weasley family are no worse. They, Draco, and the students in the Adult Club, with so many outstanding new generations, our Round Table Council will surely continue to be strong in the future."

Behind Lucius were the other members of the Round Table. At this moment, they were all looking at Lucius, who seemed as steady as a rock, and the excited Narcissa, who was sitting at the front of the Round Table area.

Today's pure-blood families are basically headed by the Malfoy family. In addition to Malfoy, there are also independent families such as the Weasley family and the Black family.

Faced with the Malfoy family, one of the twenty-eight sacred families that has always been the best at maintaining family prosperity, these pure-blood families do not mind their families becoming its vassals.

Because only by following the Malfoy family, or in other words, only by following the Malfoy family, can they be qualified to board the magnificent ship of the Round Table Parliament.

The benefits of boarding the big ship of the Round Table Council are simply endless. Apart from anything else, up to now, relying solely on the shops in Knockturn Alley, many families have solved their originally tight financial crisis and are once again living a comfortable and glamorous life as a big family.

But there is a saying that goes, only those who can see into the long term can go further. Whether the heads of these pure-blood families understood this truth before or not, they all understood it after joining the Round Table Council.

Therefore, while enjoying their ever-improving lives, these pure-blood family heads, who have just emerged from the shadow of their family's decline, have also learned to think, wondering whether the current situation can continue in the future?

As a group of pure-blood families that joined in later for the sake of profit and stability, their desire for the Round Table Council to remain powerful is no less than that of core members such as Rodolphus.
