"So, now you have a chance to change the status quo, Kreacher." Malfoy said in a tone full of deception, "The owner who is worthless in your eyes has transferred the ownership of this house to me." Malfoy said softly, then took out a parchment full of black writing from his arms, and handed it to Kreacher.
"Kreacher can't believe it!" Kreacher took it with his trembling hands, and then slowly read it. As a house elf who is proud of serving pure blood, literacy is also a compulsory subject. content, because their masters cannot command them in words all the time.
"This is Master Black's handwriting! I can still feel the magic on the paper." Tears suddenly welled up in Kreacher's bloodshot eyes, "Master is a prodigal! Oh, my poor mistress, if she Knowing that the rebellious Young Master Black actually betrayed the glory of his ancestors, what would he say? How disappointing Kreacher and Mistress are!"
"The young master sold his family's precious wealth in order to survive! It's just a shame, a shame!" Kreacher said sadly, years of loneliness had already distorted his character, making him difficult to communicate with.
"Quiet!" Malfoy snapped at Kreacher, and the house-elf immediately fell silent, not daring to scream anymore.
"I, as your new master, order you to clean the whole house immediately." Malfoy ordered forcefully, and now he no longer has the idea of being able to communicate normally with this house-elf.
"Dobby, you go and help him," Malfoy added.
"Your order, young master." Dobby lowered his big head, almost touching the ground, and said respectfully.
Malfoy thought the two house-elves might have a common language.
But he miscalculated this time.
"Master Malfoy is the best host I've ever met. He has always been tolerant and even paid Dobby a salary!" Dobby and Kreacher walked side by side in the wide corridor, and the former looked proud Showing off the benefits Malfoy paid him.
"Disgusting, get out, shame!" It's just that Dobby's behavior didn't bring even the slightest effect, but had the opposite effect. Kreacher looked at Dobby with disgust, and said disgustedly: "The domesticated child Disgrace to the elves, what is this idea? Remuneration? I actually want to work with a similar kind of person who wants to get paid in the future, will I also fall into this situation in the future? Do you still have your self-consciousness as a servant?"
"Dobby is not a servant, Dobby is a free elf!" Dobby immediately retorted.
"Ridiculous!" Kreacher taunted Dobby mercilessly in a high-pitched voice.
Then the two house-elves bickered all the way to accomplish their task.
"It's too dark in here." Malfoy said, looking around in the darkness, then waved his wand and made a noise, and then a row of old-fashioned gas lamps on the wall came on, casting a dangling, unreal light , according to the peeling wallpaper and burnished and threaded carpet in the long, spooky hall. A cobweb chandelier shimmered overhead, and age-blackened portraits hung crookedly on the walls, and a chandelier on a rickety table nearby Made into the shape of a big snake.
"It's much better now." Malfoy nodded in satisfaction, and then said to Pansy, "Now if you regret it before it's too late, I'll send you back."
"Well, it's not scary at all here." Pan Xi held on, trying not to tremble her voice, but those strange and eerie decorations always brought her a gloomy feeling, and she couldn't help feeling Fear.
The two walked slowly in the long aisle like this, but even with the lights, a small accident happened.
"Ah!" Suddenly Pansy screamed in panic, as if she had encountered something extremely terrifying, and kicked her calf desperately, as if something was stuck on it.
"Uh... what's grabbing your leg is just a sniffing paw, if I'm not wrong, it should be a dead thing." Malfoy glanced at it casually, the fluff on the paw has lost its toughness with the passage of time , long pointed nails and claw tips that tend to be pale white.
"Is this family all lunatics?" Pansy breathed a sigh of relief, and then complained, "The paws of the beast are placed in the aisle in front of the hall?"
"Next year's magical creature protection class may learn about this creature." Malfoy snapped his fingers, then stared at Pansy and said, "This is a rodent that is naturally obsessed with gold, silver and jewelry. I guess the people of the Black family may be superstitious, and putting the claws of this creature in the house can make them rich."
"I think it's true that it brings bad luck." Pansy resentfully stepped on the paw that almost tripped her.
"Maybe." Malfoy shook his head, and then reminded: "If you take a few steps forward, if you don't pay attention, you might trip over."
It was only then that Pansy noticed that standing in front of him was an umbrella stand that seemed to be made of troll legs.
"The taste of this family is really strange." Pan Xi said with a frown, and then walked sideways, carefully avoiding this obstacle.
Nothing happened after that, Pansy carefully avoided all kinds of strange obstacles in the aisle, and Malfoy followed behind her, walking unhurriedly, looking at the There are all kinds of valuable decorations that can be seen everywhere, paintings by famous people, and all kinds of magic table lamps that have been out of print for many years. If you take anything from here, it may have a history of more than a hundred years.
Just as Malfoy judged these antiques with his own eyes, Pansy's voice came from the front again.
"D, Draco, then, what are those?" With the help of the overhead light, Malfoy saw Pansy's shadow reflected on the wall, and she suddenly raised her arm, pointing to the wall in front of her and said in a crying voice.
"Those are my most respectable seniors!" Kreacher stood on the dark stairs beside him, protruding his huge head from the railing, and said proudly.
Directly in front of Pansy was a mottled wall, with a row of crumpled heads gathered on the plaque on the wall. She could clearly see that these were creatures like Dobby and Kreacher, and these were domestic children. The heads of elves all have the same ugly big nose.
A sense of vomiting suddenly rose from Pansy's stomach. It was the first time she had seen such a disgusting and frightening scene. The somewhat decayed head was facing her, and all kinds of huge eyes were just like that. Looking straight ahead like this, the expressions on those faces are also full of weird smiles and satisfaction. Announcement: Biquge app is online, supporting Android and Apple.
