Chapter 31: The Ugly Face Of Pureblood

GAUNT SCANDAL

"What is that.." pointed one of the Death Eater. 

"Is that.." he wanted to said Dark Lord mother but he didn't dare to say it.

This time, the video scene changes to Voldemort's mother. It tells about the infamous Dark Lord Mother, Merope Gaunt. In the dark corner, people can see the face of a weak woman standing on the other side, hiding from someone.

They could hear the hissing sound between two people, but suddenly they were interrupted by a member of the Ministry of Magic.

"Hello, we are from the Ministry of Magic. I am Bob Odgen from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement."

When Morfin saw them, he walked in their direction while hissing. Marvolo Gaunt, who saw this wizard, then smirked at them.

"Please, we couldn't understand the parseltongue, so please speak English."

Morfin Gaunt still walked to them while hissing to the member of the Ministry of Magic, but then Marvolo Gaunt came to them and spoke in English and asked why they came.

"We have sent a letter about underage magic being used by your son. He attacked another muggle and currently his condition is really bad."

Morfin then hissed at his father. Looking at this situation, a member of the Ministry of Magic decided to interrupt them and say, "Please, we cannot understand parseltongue."

The situation that has been tense since Bob Odgen came has become worse. Marvolo Gaunt's hissing has become very loud. The scene changes again; this time the weak woman who was hiding becomes scared, and people can see her shaking because of Marvolo Gaunt.

Bob Odgen, who saw the situation become really bad, decided to interrupt and called others to help detain the Marvolo. After that incident, Marvolo was imprisoned for 6 months because he attacked a government official, and Morfin was imprisoned for 3 years.

"What have we been looking at?" said someone.

"That woman is, you know, your mother," asked a wizard nearby.

"I feel pity for that woman; I really wanted to know what happened to her. Did that guy kill him?" said a concerned witch.

"Is that the infamous Gaunt family?"

"Why are they so ugly? She has an ugly face, and that man also has lazy eyes," said a confused pureblood.

The Gaunt family is the descendant of Salazar Slytherin, and the most arrogant pureblood joined Slytherin in Hogwarts, so this revelation shocked them the most. Compared to Muggle, whose condition is really worse, Muggle looks better.

"How can this be? Our Dark Lord. No..."

"The impact of the single video shakes most of the wizards who are proud of their lineage." But before they could continue speaking, suddenly they were explaining what really happened.

"Bob Odgen came to meet Morfin Gaunt, who attacked Tom Riddle Sr, a muggle who lives near that place. This is because he was jealous and angry to him. His sister, Morfin Gaunt, always peeped at Tom Riddle Sr, so he decided to take revenge and curse that man."

Upon hearing the long explanation from Nick Hunt, Pureblood's face became ugly. Then they also heard the scandal of the century.

"The Gaunt family is a most isolated pureblood family, and they are descendants of Salazar Slytherin. The reason they become isolated is because of their behaviour. In order to keep Salazar inheritance, which is Parseltongue, they decide to marry each other."

Nick Hunt then shows the face of the Salazar Slytherin and Gaunt families, because too many intermarried, their DNA was corrupted, and the result was that they became ugly, had lazy eyes, were prone to sickness, and were also mentally at their lowest.

"According to my data, if Morfin and Merope marry each other, their next children will become very sick, and after that, most of them will become squibs. The Gaunt family won't have any magicians, luckily, they all died."

The explanation from Nick Hunt shocked most of Pureblood.

One of them suddenly opened their mouth and asked, "Why? Our blood didn't mix with a muggle. They also have the most pure magic blood, but why do their descendants become like that?"

Nick Hunt decides to show this idiotic pureblood about the incident of the western royal family because they are intermarrying each other, their descendant becomes infertile, and they die at a young age. "But this effect is different for the pureblood family, they will also get the same sickness but need more time because their magic is preventing it. Because of this, many pureblood descendants who marry a cousin got squib descendant."

"What," said most of pureblood. "You said the reason squibs exist is because of marrying a cousin?"
