The Love Story of HP Narcissa

Martha, no matter what, Sissy won't suffer from marrying Lucius.If you are not in good health, stop getting involved in the children's affairs, children and grandchildren have their own blessings..."

out of control situation

I thought I could handle everything easily, but when everything was completely different from what I expected, or even the opposite.I really feel very lost, and then I am not as confident as before... Maybe I am really not as good as I imagined...

-------A passage from Lucius' diary.

____________________________________________________________________________________

Lucius walked slowly ahead, looking in a good mood.He glanced lazily at the display windows with his gray eyes as he walked past the Quidditch shop, then gave him a disdainful look and walked on.Perhaps handling the family business would give him a more fulfilling sense of accomplishment. He didn't care about playing Quidditch a few years ago.From time to time, Lucius turned his head and talked to Narcissa behind him. Although most of the time he would not get a satisfactory answer, he still enjoyed it.

"Actually, my father has already entrusted me with a lot of business, but because I have to go to school, he left some difficult and big projects in his hands. Such as potion raw material institutions, high-end leather goods, There is also a shop that sells some potions that you can't buy in Diagon Alley... I would say he should have let go earlier, after all, these are not difficult. There are a lot of things that are staffed in there, you just need to Regularly reconcile the accounts, and then take time to look at them, and occasionally there is a particularly large business that needs to be interviewed in person.”

Narcissa followed behind him impatiently and listened silently. Who cares how those deals are made?She didn't want to know at all that she could go to two more operas in this time.Lucius obviously didn't notice Narcissa's disinterest, he was still immersed in his own little world and couldn't extricate himself.

"Many families hide their assets in Gringotts. In fact, this is a very old-fashioned way. It is extremely unwise to give Galleons to those goblins. After all, goblins can't make your Galleons more. The Malfoy family has always had a tradition of doing business. Except for the manor, a large amount of assets in the family are used for investment. The existing Galleons are only a small part, about [-]%, which is enough for daily use. Of course, for us It’s not much, but for some people, it’s enough for them to live happily for several lifetimes~”

He glanced at a wizard who was wearing an extremely shabby robe by the side of the road - the other person's clothes had been patched in several places, and he looked very poor.

Narcissa remained unmoved by what he said, and the only thing on her mind was to finally know why Lucius didn't put money into the account she shared with him.Talking about Garen and business, Lucius kept talking happily about his family, what he would do if he had the money... It is estimated that he has never put money in any vault other than the Malfoy family vault. He didn't need to keep a small treasury privately, because his father never cared how much pocket money Lucius took, anyway, all the money in his family's treasury could be used.

"Here we are. This is it! This is my dad's first solo business after graduation, and it means a lot to him."

Narcissa also stopped, and she looked up at the shop in front of her, which looked very resplendent from the outside.Amber brown dominates, with gold on the door frames and window sills (Narcisha suspects it might be real gold).She raised her head, and there were a few small fire dragon models flying on the signboard. Narcissa recognized at a glance that there was an ①Australian opaleye in it. At this time, it was flying leisurely with a ②Chinese fireball, looking Getting along is very pleasant.

"Burton luxury leather goods store?"

Narcissa read the signboard with a curious tone, so this place is not directly named after the Malfoy family.

"Bolton was a loyal follower of my father. Although he came from a small pure-blood family, he had always followed my father since he was a student at Hogwarts. When my father proposed to open When a store needed a nominal owner, he was the first to stand up, so my father chose him."

Lucius walked up the steps and explained to Narcissa while reaching for the door.

"Why doesn't your father just become his own boss? Wouldn't it be more convenient."

Narcissa followed up the steps and asked questions in confusion.Lucius stopped and stood in front of the door, he was pleasantly surprised by Narcissa's interested question, so he continued talking patiently.

"Do you understand how to protect yourself? If people see signs signed by Malfoy hanging all over the street, some people will be unhappy about it after a long time. Malfoy has never been interested in the position of the ruler. We only like independent wealth, so There is no need to get into trouble. Besides, wizards' hobbies are constantly changing, and the industries that make money are constantly changing. If you want to be the owner of all shops and master all things, whoever is going to be exhausted. But If you donate to some talented people and give them a chance to work hard and suffer future failures, then if you have good vision and can stand behind and take dividends, that would be the best."

Narcissa showed such an expression, and Lucius felt that he had performed himself well in front of the other party, so he was very proud.

"If you like something, take Sissy for yourself~ half of the income here belongs to my family."

He opened the door with a smile, and made a lady-first gesture to invite Narcissa to go in first.

It may be because of Christmas, there are no customers in the store at this time, two clerks are holding a leather maintenance spray and yawning while they are working on a dragon leather suitcase. When they heard the sound of the door opening, one of them turned his head and saw Narcissa behind him. Lucius immediately perked up.

"Little Mr. Malfoy!"

There was the sound of something falling to the ground upstairs, and then a middle-aged man with a somewhat bald head quickly ran down the stairs.Seeing Lucius standing at the door, he showed a very bright smile and gave Lucius a hug.

"Lucius, my good boy, you are finally here. I'm so sorry, I was on vacation with my family in Australia when Abu's accident happened, so I couldn't make it right away... well, let's not talk about those sad things! Look Look at this, our trip is also very fruitful, made of newly acquired leather. If you like it, take it, I remember you like this kind of dragon leather gloves the most, and you will take a few every time you come. Ouch~ This is Miss Black, I have met your sister, the beauty of the family~"

He enthusiastically pointed to the shelf beside him and signaled the salesperson to pack the things with his eyes.Lucius shook his head proudly.

"No need, Uncle Bolton. I'm not here to pick things up this time. After my father passed away, I will take care of all the family property. I'm afraid I won't be able to come to you like I used to. I'm here this time , came to get the ledger."

The smile on Mr. Bolton's face instantly diminished. With a long sigh, he clapped his palms and walked to the side of the counter to sit down, his face full of regrets about the changing situation.Leaving Lucius and Narcissa standing still.

"Oh...it's not my uncle talking about you. Lucius, you child is too unruly...This is my uncle's shop. What is the concept of a book for a shop? Even if your uncle kisses you again, you can't just let you take it Going to play..."

Lucius was obviously stunned, obviously not expecting such a situation.The whole room became extremely quiet, and an awkward atmosphere filled the air with the aroma of the shop.Lucius' face was ugly, but he smiled reluctantly.

"Uncle, what are you talking about? My father paid for all the money when the store first opened. My father found the store and the source of goods. All the materials are still kept in the study of Malfoy Manor. He asked You came to be the owner of the shop, and you agreed to make half of the profits, why are you changing your mind now?"

Bolton waved his hand quickly, as if he had been greatly wronged.

"I didn't say I'd go back on my word! The most important thing in our business is credibility. Don't blame me. I'll give half of what I agreed to, and I'll still give half now."

"Then how can I settle the account if you don't give me the account book? In the past, when my father was here, the account book here was provided on time."

The smile on Bolton's face disappeared completely, replaced by a mocking attitude.

"It's not that I said, Lucius, you still have a lot to learn~ I gave your father the account book in the past, it was because we could discuss a lot together, and your father also has his own opinions on business. Now... …I don’t think it’s necessary. Uncle’s shop, don’t I know how much I earn every month? I’ll just give you the ledger or something, so don’t look at it as a child.”

Lucius bit his lower lip tightly, his fists clenched tightly, but he couldn't say anything to refute.The other party was obviously trying to make things difficult, and he couldn't please anything at the moment.

"Boss, things are packed..."

The clerk held the packaged leather goods and said.

"Okay, Lucius, this will be a Christmas present from my uncle to you and Miss Black. I'm going to make a mess in the store later, so you can do other things first."
