Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer
Chapter 182 The Beginning of the Breakup (Page 12)
Malfoy Manor is an aristocratic mansion located in Wiltshire, England.
Its main building is an improved castle, which is very livable and has a majestic appearance.
A carefully designed garden surrounds the main building, with fountains and free-roaming white peacocks.
Its entrance and exit is an exquisite wrought iron gate. When visitors pass through, they will have the feeling of walking through smoke.
After walking into the foyer, you can see an extremely spacious living room with an extraordinarily high ceiling. The entire living room is covered with purple wallpaper, and there are two or three large natural crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.
Because it is a building with a castle structure after all, there are certain difficulties in lighting, so these chandeliers will be lit 24 hours a day.
However, those lamps have been enchanted, and the brightness will automatically adjust as time changes, making people's eyes feel as comfortable as possible.
In terms of material comfort, the elders of the Malfoy family who built this manor set an example for future generations long ago.
Of course, living in this mansion requires a lot of etiquette.
Even the owner of the mansion and the head of the Malfoy family of this generation, Lucius Malfoy, still had to wear decent formal attire when receiving guests in the living room.
And his wife, Narcissa Malfoy, even wore the long whalebone dress that ladies in the past would only wear when attending formal banquets.
"You still say that our ancestors have nothing to do with Muggles?
Who of the ancient witches would wear such anti-human clothing as a whalebone dress? "
Sitting on the dark green leather sofa, Mrs. Zabini, who came to visit the Malfoy family, was sipping black tea with a small amount of milk in a porcelain cup passed down from China, while secretly complaining about the other party's behavior. Artificiality and hypocrisy.
Of course, such complaints should never be made. Even if they are right.
Once she said it, there was no room for change in her relationship with the Malfoy family.
"It is often said that you will never see a Malfoy at a crime scene, even if the wand used to commit the crime is covered in their fingerprints.
The Malfoy family has complete independent wealth, and they do not need to work to support their lives.
They often act as the real power behind the throne and are happy to see others toil like donkeys or take the blame for failure. "
Putting the tea cup on the marble-topped coffee table in front of her, Mrs. Zabini said this sentence in one breath, in an aria-like tone.
It sounded like a disparagement, but the Malfoys sitting opposite her still had normal expressions on their faces, because they heard the connotation of praise in this sentence.
Whoever gets the points says.
For example, when Arthur Weasley said these words, Lucius Malfoy would be furious on the spot, and might even roll up his arms and sleeves to fight back.
And when these words came out of Mrs. Zabini's mouth, he would only think... they sounded pretty good.
Of course, this is not just because this lady is good-looking - Narcissa Malfoy is also present, and his wife is present, so Lucius Malfoy will not have any inappropriate thoughts (not to mention that he also knows the person opposite What is a "woman"?)--especially because they are in the same group.
"These words can be regarded as your praise to our Malfoy family.
That's a good thing to say, but don't say it next time. "
Lucius was sitting on a single sofa with his hands on the armrests, looking very relaxed.
"Let's talk about something serious."
He took the initiative to change the topic.
"I have heard about what happened to Mr. Zabini, and I am very sorry for his passing.
But death is not the end.
At least, for wizards like him and me, death does not erase debt relationships. "
Lucius specifically emphasized "him and me" instead of giving the title of [Wizard] to the widow of Mr. Zabini in front of him.
The beautiful Mrs. Zabini chuckled "haha" and unfolded the bird feather fan in her hand to cover her smiling face.
"Thirty thousand gold galleons is indeed not a small sum of money. However, if I take it out and return it to you now, we will not be injured or broken."
"Then as soon as possible."
Narcissa Malfoy spoke.
Perhaps because of her sense of female rivalry, her attitude towards Mrs. Zabini was not polite.
"You can just withdraw the deposits from Gringotts' vault and transfer them directly to the Malfoy family's vault. It won't take much time.
Moreover, for such a large transfer, those despicable goblins would probably be very happy to count the gold Galleons one by one. "
She is hinting:
Don't try to trick people with counterfeit coins, they'll have the goblins inspect the galleons themselves.
This is a bit harsh to say.
Although Mrs. Zabini is indeed short of money recently due to what happened before, she still looks a little worried.
"Snapped--!"
She closed the feather fan in her hand, and stood up from the sofa with a sudden movement, with a trace of blush on her face.
"Mr. Malfoy, Mrs. Malfoy, the purpose of my coming here is not to default on my debt!
For the sake of past cooperation, I want to remind you of some things.
But since you say so, please just pretend that I have never been to Malfoy Manor.
Let Blaise come down from the small living room upstairs. I'm going to take my son home. "
Lucius spread his hands in a "I'll do whatever you want" posture, and then shouted: "Dobby!"
Dobby is his family's house elf.
According to the standards of pure-blood family wizards, the best house elves are those who can prevent guests (and even their masters) from noticing their existence, but still be able to complete the tasks assigned by their masters.
Therefore, Lucius just called "Dobby" and Blaise, who had been entertaining his precious son Draco, was taken down from upstairs.
It was the house elf Dobby who took him to Apparate at the Malfoy house, but Dobby didn't show up at all.
"Goodbye."
Mrs. Zabini angrily pushed her son's head, and led the slightly confused little wizard towards the gate of Malfoy Manor.
"Dad! Mom!"
After the mother and son left, Draco's voice came from the stairs. There was no way, because the Malfoy manor was too big, and the Malfoys never allowed Dobby to disapparate with their precious son, so now he ran from the small living room upstairs to the first floor.
"That guy is finally gone!"
Draco Malfoy was not unhappy at all because of the sudden departure of his classmate. On the contrary, Draco Malfoy was still a little happy.
"That guy Brace is such a stinker! He just ate the snacks I brought out and he didn't know how to say thank you.
In Slytherin House, he lacked respect for the Malfoy family!
