Chapter 264 Teacher, Student, Master and Servant
Narcissa acted as if she heard nothing and did not answer the call.
At this time, a happy call suddenly came from not far away:
"Lucius! Long time no see, when did you come?"
The two of them He paused slightly as he left the school, turned his head, and saw a group of Ministry of Magic officials walking out of the castle, accompanied by Professor McGonagall.
Lucius Malfoy adjusted his expression and walked over.
"I just had a talk with Dumbledore because of some school matters." He said.
The man laughed and said: "No wonder the principal left suddenly just now... You should have come here earlier, Lucius! Look at that magical mirror!"
Lucius Marr Fu: ...
——Thank you for the invitation. I have already watched it. The picture is too clear and the experience is very poor.
But of course others can't understand his current mood.
Some people immediately raised their voices and said: "Marchioni! You greedy fox! When did you start selling mirrors?"
Marchioni kept smiling and said: "Please wait a moment, our mirrors still need to go through several rounds of testing... But I can guarantee that after the new products meet the qualified standards, I will personally deliver them to you as soon as possible."
" Remember your words!" Another person said: "I must be the first to buy it!"
"Of course, of course"
Lucius promised. Si didn't try to flirt with the officials as usual, but just left with everyone in silence.
Narcissa seemed to be invisible, walking on the edge of the group of people, looking at Marchionne, who was surrounded by everyone in the center, his face seemed to be glowing.
——This is the businessman who has been working with Wade Gray.
The Book of Friends produced by his magic workshop has been sold all over the world...
Magic pets and soft light necklaces are also very popular, bringing him countless wealth.
But it’s definitely incomparable to an invention like the Book of Friends that directly changes people’s living habits.
And these were all brought to him by Wade Gray...
Now there is also Liu Jing.
Suddenly, Narcissa felt a sight. She turned her head and met Professor McGonagall's eyes.
She was also a former student at Hogwarts, and learned transfiguration in Professor McGonagall's class for seven years.
Even when the mysterious man became more and more powerful, the school still seemed like a paradise.
But after graduation, they naturally took a hostile stance.
After a moment, the two looked away calmly, as if this brief confrontation was just an accident.
Outside the range of the castle's protective spell, everyone apparated away.
Just when Lucius was about to do this, he suddenly remembered something, his face twisted, and finally he said to his wife: "You go home first, I need to go to Gringotts."
"Gringotts?" Narcissa nodded: "The compensation to the Crabbe family should indeed be sent to them as soon as possible."
"It's not just that." Lucius said: "And to Vader... Gray's 6,000 galleons - I bought the set of mirrors in his hand."
Narcissa was startled, then realized and agreed: "You are very thoughtful...that scene can't be done. Spread the word."
"I have the same idea," Lucius said, "It's worth even 6,000 galleons for Draco's future reputation."
The two of them apparated. .
Lucius Malfoy arrived at Gringotts, found the goblin who contacted him, and signed to transfer two sums of money.
After he came out, he felt depressed and went to the pub to have two drinks to relieve the negative emotions in his heart, and then returned to Malfoy Manor.
At this time, the sky has begun to turn dark blue.
Exquisite gardens surround the castle. The white peacock pacing by the fountain saw its owner, twitched its tail and slowly opened its tail. Lucius walked past. As soon as he entered the door, two house elves came over and put away Lucius's hat, cane, coat, etc.
There was also a scarred house elf beside the wall. He was wrapped in heavy bandages and was leaning against the corner, tiptoeing to wipe the gold-plated mirror.
Seeing Lucius, the elf seemed a little scared, but after hesitating, he ran over and poured tea for his master.
When Lucius saw that his ears had just been burned, he knew that he was punishing himself again. He immediately frowned and asked coldly: "Dobby, what did you do again?"
The other two house elves immediately lowered their heads and quickly disappeared with their coats and other items.
Dobby shook his head, lowered his head and whispered: "Dobby...Dobby accidentally dropped the wax oil on the carpet...but Dobby has cleaned it up."
But Lucius didn't have the patience to listen to his explanation - he had nowhere to vent his pent-up anger today.
As soon as he raised his hand, the whip on the wall flew over flexibly and landed on his hand.
Lucius swung it, and then swung it out hard——
"Crack!"
Along with the sound of whipping, the screams of house elves also followed. When the news came upstairs, Narcissa put down the newspaper, shook her head and sighed helplessly.
As a house elf, Dobby was undoubtedly capable, even more capable than the other elves in the family.
But he always has some strange thoughts in his mind, so that he is not very obedient. He even tells other elves the story of the savior Harry Potter and his yearning for freedom.
Narcissa has never seen another such strange house elf.
Even in her previous home, Kreacher hated Sirius very much, but he did not yearn for so-called "freedom".
Fortunately, the other elves were not contaminated by Dobby’s weirdness. They promptly reported Dobby’s rebellious remarks to their master, saying——
“This elf is broken. He is a disgrace among house elves! Please get rid of him!”
Of course, such a capable servant will not be chased away casually.
But from then on, Dobby got beaten more often. After being injured, he would occasionally make mistakes, and then punish himself with cruel means.
In the eyes of the Malfoys, Dobby was just asking for trouble.
Seeing that the house elves who were packing things in her room were also shivering, Narcissa comforted: "Don't worry, you didn't make any mistakes, Lucius will not hit you."
The house elf immediately said happily: "You are so kind, master! Dobby is a bad elf, he should be woken up!"
He smiled gratefully and happily at the mistress.
Downstairs, after an unknown amount of time, Lucius finally got tired of beating and felt that his pocket was a bit heavy today.
He took it out and found that it was the mirror box he bought from Wade - he had actually forgotten this thing.
Lucius naturally had no interest in watching the video of his son being stupid and causing him to lose 26,000 galleons.
He threw it to Dobby like rubbish and ordered:
"Put it away! Put it somewhere where I can't see it again!"
Dobby caught the box, held it, and was about to go to the basement, then showed an expression of disbelief.
Some kind of invisible shackles seemed to be released suddenly.
Lucius next to him did not notice the abnormality of his servant. He ordered dinner expressionlessly, and then returned to the study to rest temporarily.
Only then did Dobby tremble and slowly open the box.
Inside are two palm-sized mirrors, stacked together.
Dobby felt something was wrong, and stretched out his long and thin fingers to dig under the mirror.
The originally dark black velvet was dragged, revealing what was hidden inside.
A light yellow sock worn by a baby.
