Draco must not have expected so much. At least he still enjoys the feeling of entertaining himself in a small circle.
In this small circle, Draco is the well-deserved "first person" of the new generation.
He alone has two Pure-blood "entourages", and Miss Parkinson family is surrounding Draco like a licking dog.
All the friends will listen to what he says, and even vaguely praise him as the boss.
Such a great feeling...Draco How could you not like it?
"In the final analysis, we are just a group of losers hugging each other for warmth." Lucius Malfoy began to reveal the "truth" of the world to his son.
"Draco, how can Pure-blood families like us maximize our family's influence?"
The unexpected question stunned Draco for a moment, and then he began to think carefully.
"Like you, uncle Goyle, and uncle Crabbe? The three of us form a community of Pure-blood families, thus affecting Ministry of Magic?"
Draco's answer is a bit tricky, because in reality this is what Lucius Malfoy does.
Even the next generation of the Goyle family and the Crabbe family family are still followers of the Draco family, which is similar to the relationship between the Sarutobi and Ino-Shika-Cho families of Konoha.
Goyle and Crabbe, the older generation follows Lucius Malfoy. Malfoy family eats meat, and they can also drink soup.
Even the family heads of Malfoy family were kind-hearted. When they ate meat themselves, they did not forget to ask the waiters below to come up and eat the meat as well.
Otherwise, these two families would not be so determined to follow Malfoy family.
That is to say, the main ability of this generation Malfoy family is average. Although Lucius Malfoy has the courage to place bets, no one can see the benefits at all.
He is a contrarian investment genius.
Even so, Goyle and Crabbe can still let their next-generation heirs serve as "followers" for Malfoy. It can be seen that the previous owners of Malfoy were kind people.
Lucius Malfoy shook his head after hearing this answer, "Wrong, Draco. The most fundamental reason why I am doing this now is because of my identity.
Since I joined Death Eaters, worked for Dark Lord, and provided resources and convenience. Therefore, all British Ministry of Magic administrative agencies will not allow Death Eaters like us, who have been tried and tried, to enter politics.
I can only maintain my family's influence in this way."
"But, aren't you still School Governor to Hogwarts Board of Governors?" Draco discovered a blind spot.
He didn't mention the fact that his father was Hogwarts School Governor at school. Who told them that they were in Hogwarts's territory at that time.
After the conflict with Wizard of Gryffindor, the most common thing Draco said was that I want to tell my dad that he is School Governor of Hogwarts, and he will fire you.
Well... expelling people directly is really the most direct and serious threat to current students.
It is as vicious as denying a diploma without going to a factory for internship.
"School Governor of Hogwarts?" Lucius Malfoy chuckled twice. In the past, he also thought that Hogwarts Board of Governors was also a decent social status.
In reality?
"That place is Dumbledore's territory - whether it is now or in the past. In other words, Hogwarts has always been the territory of successive principals.
Hogwarts Board of Governors's identity is not used that way."
Lucius Malfoy sighed, realizing that it was a little late.
Do you think you can use your identity as Hogwarts Board of Governors School Governor to control other principals Dumbledore or Hogwarts?
How is that possible?
The principals of Hogwarts are all Master of Magic. Even Minister for Magic cannot do it. Every generation can be Master of Magic, but the principal of Hogwarts can do it.
In other words, every generation of Hogwarts's principals are the top people in British Wizarding World's magic field.
Would such a person be afraid of Hogwarts Board of Governors composed of a group of Pure-blood wizard?
Also, most of the principals in the past are also Pure-blood wizard, and their identities as Lucius Malfoy are a source of fun to the principals.
The graduates of Hogwarts can accurately name their principals every time.
But how many of them can tell who the Hogwarts Board of Governors and School Governor of that session are?
That is to say, the students of this class of Draco know more about it. Who told Draco to say in school that my father is Hogwarts Board of Governors's School Governor?
Now half of Gryffindor already knows that Lucius Malfoy is School Governor of Hogwarts.
"In fact, it is easy to be a good School Governor from Hogwarts. You only need to support the work of this president on Hogwarts Board of Governors, and the funds for the batch will be approved, and the money will be given.
As long as idiots jump out, we must resolutely refute them and stand by the principal.
Is Galleon important to us? Draco, those things are not important at all.
If a little Galleon can gain the friendship of a Master of Magic, nothing is so cheap in this world."
Lucius Malfoy That's called regret, but Draco doesn't understand what his father regrets at all.
"As long as we have a good relationship with the principal, when the family encounters troubles that we can't solve by ourselves, we can't ask for help from the principal?
Even if the principal is unwilling to take action, they will definitely know how to solve our problems and who to approach to solve it."
"What's the use of being School Governor and going against the principal? If they want to increase funding, can we refuse?"
Lucius Malfoy When he said this, he almost couldn't hold himself any longer.
Yes, he usually plays the role of such an idiot in Hogwarts Board of Governors. Once he wakes up, he feels that everything he has done in the past is black history.
Countless dark histories.
At this point, shame drove Lucius Malfoy to brush over the topic of Hogwarts, and he introduced to his eldest son, "If we want to exert our real influence, we at least need to hold certain positions in various administrative agencies of Wizarding World.
Ministry of Magic, Wizengamot, International Confederation of Wizards, and even Order of Merlin.
Without real power, we are just an empty aristocracy. If several generations of heirs do not gain real power, our family will be in ruins.
Wizarding World is marginalized.
Unless then...
Lucius Malfoy originally thought that the family would be doomed by then, but then I thought about it. If I could win an SSR like Isaac, Malfoy family might even be prosperous instead of being doomed.
However, there is no guarantee at all for SSRs like Isaac.
So he simply swallowed the last half of the sentence.
"In short, Draco, this is what I have been doing all my life. But I can't just push you into the mud." Lucius Malfoy said seriously, staring into his son's eyes.
