Chapter 17: Greasy King Snape, Kingsley Shacklebolt

Seeing Narcissa and Mira walking in the circle of aristocratic ladies in the distance, Cole felt much more at ease.

It seems Lucius had already passed on greetings, otherwise his cousin would have had many objections to him.

"You must be very pleased that Sirius has landed in Azkaban."

Cole turned his head and looked at Snape with a loathing expression.

Snape said nothing, but after a wave, he said with a peculiar expression:

"He's your blood brother, why are you so pleased?"

Taking a sip of the red wine in his hand, Cole slowly answered:

"When did he ever treat me as his blood brother? Haven't you felt the sensation of hanging upside down on a golden bell?"

"Besides, if he hadn't gone in, who would have had the final say in the Black family?"

Cole did not conceal his ambitions, and now rumors are circulating in the wizarding world, even The Quibbler is reporting on it.

He single-handedly advanced Sirius's imprisonment, which made Cole feel like a villain.

"You have really changed."

Cole rolled his eyes but still had to ask the misfortunate in the pyramid.

"If we don't talk about this, how could you agree for Lucius to be his son's godfather? Shouldn't it be Lily's son?"

When Cole is in this world and recalls what happened on campus, he can understand Snape's feelings towards Lily.

Obviously, Snape was taken aback. After all, why wouldn't he want to raise Lily's son?

"Isn't it because the headmaster won't allow you to touch little Harry?"

Cole spoke the truth, and Snape's eyes dimmed a bit.

"That guy's son will grow up just like his father, a detestable guy."

Snape reluctantly said.

Cole smiled. James Potter left a deep impression on Snape when he was a student.

It's sad, not only was the goddess snatched away, but he was also bullied by the quartet who relied on their strength in numbers.

If it were him, Cole would consider his family tree clean if he didn't kill their whole family.

Perhaps it's because Harry was a man and would look a lot like James in the future, except for those eyes.

If it were Harriet, even Dumbledore would not be able to stop Snape's determination to raise her.

Regardless of the Dark Lord's rebirth, even if Voldemort dared to hurt Harriet in front of him, Snape would still have to shove the Blade into Voldemort's mouth.

"Honestly, can't you clean up your hair in this situation today?"

Cole felt disgusted. If it weren't for the distastefulness, he really wouldn't want to stand next to Snape.

"I've already cleaned it up."

Snape wasn't embarrassed and said coldly.

Cole looked at Snape's long black hair and found it very fitting.

"Can't you use shampoo? Is it true, as I guessed, that you don't use shampoo because it comes from the Potter family?"

Cole's curious gaze was ignored by Snape.

"You're a great potions master, just think you deserve it."

Cole wasn't joking, although the Potter shampoo on the market must have its formula.

But the title of Potions Master wasn't given by Snape himself but by the Ministry of Magic.

Snape had already shown talent in this area when he was a student, and had already passed the Ministry of Magic's assessment.

If nothing else, the position of Potions teacher was prepared for Snape.

"Hmph, it's just a little trick. Add some dragon dung. I don't bother to use Potter's stuff."

Cole understood that Snape, in addition to hating James's things, was lazy to clean up and had a nerdy personality!

"Okay, congratulations on the birth of a son. It seems that you and Lucius have become good friends over the years."

Snape didn't say anything, but Cole also knew that if the relationship wasn't good, Snape's character would never agree.

The banquet officially started, and a group of wizards gathered around. Lucius and his wife stood in the crowd holding little Draco, and Snape also passed by.

In a series of ceremonies and witnesses, Severus Snape officially became Draco Malfoy's godfather.

The rest of the banquet was for wizards to connect with their families.

Of course, Cole also noticed the members of the Shacklebolt family, who were staring at him at this time.

Lucius brought someone over, Kingsley Shacklebolt, one of the directors of the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic.

"This is the first time we met. I didn't expect Mr. Black to be so young!"

Lucius introduced "Cole, Kingsley works in the Auror Office."

Of course, Cole knew that his wizard team had joined the Auror establishment. He had already clearly inquired about this information. After all, he had to work under someone.

"Mr. Shacklebolt, I didn't expect to meet you here for the first time. My family is busy with business, so I haven't visited you yet. I apologize."

Kingsley smiled and said: "Have you not thanked the Black family for their support to the Ministry of Magic? John and the others are very capable. All the Aurors under my command admire members of your Black family."

Although the famous Kingsley Shacklebolt was laughing, Cole understood the meaning of his words.

Originally, Fudge came to power temporarily and didn't have many useful people under his command. Quite a lot of people usually worked in secrecy.

Don't think that wizards are simple-minded. Where there are people, there will be struggles.

"No, I have to thank Mr. Shacklebolt for taking care of me. Only thanks to the protection of the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic can the magical world be so stable and peaceful."

The corners of Rever's mouth twitched involuntarily a few times. He was taking care of himself. During this period, he left the task of catching Death Eaters to the Black family.

Unexpectedly, in the eyes of others, it was a thankless and life-threatening job, but John and the others successfully handled it.

The wizard team is nominally part of the Ministry of Magic, but its equipment is provided by the Black family.

Magic gadgets, wizard potions, dragon skin protective gear, good guys, John and the others are eager to be armed to the teeth.

As soon as traces of Death Eaters are found, it will be a ruthless pursuit, and the methods are extremely brutal. Except for the three Unforgivable Curses, other large spells are very easy to use.

After getting slapped, you have to be wiped by the Ministry of Magic.

Since the arrival of John's team, Azkaban's business has become increasingly difficult.

After all, their main goal is to arrest people, and after their capture, to put them on trial. The purpose of the Black family is to beat people to death.

There are already many Aurors in the Ministry of Magic who have objections. Two hundred gold galleons a month, what are you risking your life for?

If you're so powerful, doesn't it look like they're useless?
