Chapter 14: Chapter 14: The Roots of the Foley House
The Weasley family is poor.
But their status is not low in the slightest.
Their family is a hardcore Gryffindor and Dumbledore's loyalists.
Arthur Weasley is also Dumbledore's right hand and a member of the Order of the Phoenix.
The Weasleys have a high status amongst the Gryffindor.
Arthur is also the head of the Ministry of Magic's Division of Misuse of Muggle Artefacts.
The name may sound a little funny.
But from the original book, he has the power to raid various pure-blood families to find dark magic items. The status of this division is not small.
One can even say, It is possible that Weasley was specially promoted to this division by Dumbledore to deal with the pure-blood family and keep them in check.
If the two, Ginny Weasley and Braun Foley marry, the Foley family will be able to use the power of the Weasley family to increase their influence in the Ministry of Magic.
And the Weasley family can also get help from the Foleys. If nothing else, at least you can get a lot of help in some necessary magic potions.
This will mean the Weasley family's influence in the Order of the phoenix and the Ministry of Magic will be strengthened and help the Foley family regain their previous prestige or maybe even get higher.
But, for the Foleys, who have always been neutral, this might be a dangerous move.
Getting on the good graces of Dumbledore will mean that they will be the first target when Voldemort returns.
However, what will happen in the end, depends on the two children.
"Cousin Braun!"
"Why are you here?"
Braun was a little curious about Ginny coming to him. Of course, just curiosity.
After opening the door for Ginny, He didn't care much. Instead, he held his potions book and continued to read.
Ginny tapped Braun on the shoulder with some dissatisfaction.
Then leaned her head over his shoulder and said:
"Why can't I come? What are you looking at? "
"A Thousand Magical Herbs and Mushrooms, the Work of Wizard Philida Spold,"
Braun replied nonchalantly.
"Isn't this the standard textbook for the first year students of Hogwarts? the one that has been the introductory book for Herbology and Potions? What's so nice to see? You'll have to study this anyway when you start next year. "
Ginny couldn't help but ask.
Braun was shocked when she knew about the book.
Then he realized that her brothers all went to Hogwarts.
Also Textbooks are also widely known and haven't changed for decades. This also furthered his belief that the wizarding world has been like stagnant waters.
Staring at his face lost in his thoughts, Ginny just didn't understand why Braun was reading these boring books.
Suddenly her seventh sense was sensing something. The herb that Braun was currently memorizing was white water lily. Could it be the herb mentioned Gilderoy Lockhart's book? The one he ate in the middle of his fight with the werewolf, the herb that helped him defeat them barehanded.
"yes... However, it is better to learn all the herbs, white water lily is a powerful healing and rejuvenating herb that can heal superficial wounds and replenish physical stamina..."
After agreeing with Ginny, Braun began to recite the above knowledge.
After all, if he doesn't want to preserve his [Pharmacist] talent permanently, he can also choose to use it only for twenty more days.
He wasn't sure on replacing the talent, but that doesn't mean that he will not push the talent to its extreme and gain as much as possible from it.
He was ready to memorize this book and another Potions book skillfully during those twenty days.
Then, with the help of his father's wand, he tried to make two potions.
"Arsenius Jigger's book on Magical Drafts and Potions?
It is also a first-year Hogwarts textbook.
But why are the contents and cover of this book different from those of my brothers? "
Ginny flipped through a black animal skin book on Braun's desk with a steaming crucible drawn on it.
Compared with the books used by her brothers, although the pattern, title and the author are the same, this book is much more refined .
Not only is the book cover made of dyed dragon leather, but the crucible title on it is gilded.
Comparing with her brothers' humble parchment, she can't see the slightest resemblance between the two.
"Because this is the first edition of Arsenius Jigger's book to my grandfather, of course, it will be different.
Compared with everyone's textbook, the content of this book is more comprehensive, not is this book the only manuscript written by Arsenius Jigger himself but also contains a lot of deleted content not present in the textbook.
And this book contains a lot of my grandfather's notes and improvisations. "
"No way, No way!"
"You must be tricking me!"
Ginny mumbled in shock.
This is Arsenius Jigger he was talking about.
The most Famous Potions Master in the history of Britain. He was also a former professor at Hogwarts.
His influence on the community with his book being chosen by Hogwarts as a textbook for almost a century is evident.
But if such a great potions master would give the Foley family the first edition of the manuscript book.
Although the Foley family is famous among potions, this is unbelievable to this girl.
Braun shrugged.
He was not surprises at Ginny's reaction. He was also shocked for a long time when he first found out.
"Open the title page of the book and see what is written there."
Ginny obediently did so.
She saw a few lines written on the title page of the book.
"My Greetings and well wishes to the Grandmaster in Potions, also my dearest teacher, Mr. Sigmund Foley.
Thank you for your selfless help in my journey to learn Potions.
– Arsenius Jigger"
"This, this..." Ginny was speechless with excitement and disbelief.
"That's right, he's my grandfather, Sigmund Foley.
One of the few Grandmasters of Potions, a great and outstanding Potions Master.
Don't be so excited, if you want to see him, you can see him in the portrait at the corner of the hallway.
But now he should have gone talk to his old friends. "
Braun answered what he thought that Ginny wanted to ask him next.
This indifferent look and response made Ginny a little crazy.
"This is Arsenius Jigger! Why aren't you excited at all? "
Braun was thrilled, of course, but he was used to the Foley family's past glory at this point.
And so many books on his bookshelf are going to be carrying similar stories.
