Chapter 160: Take over
"So, now you have a chance to make a difference, Kreacher. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Malfoy said in a demagogic tone, "the owner of the house in your eyes has transferred ownership of this house to me. Malfoy whispered, then pulled out a piece of parchment with black writing from his bosom and handed it to Kreacher.
"Kreacher couldn't believe it!" Kreacher took it with his trembling hands, and read it slowly, as a house-elf who prides itself on serving pure-bloods, literacy is also a compulsory subject, because their master cannot command them verbally all the time.
"It's Master Black's handwriting! I can still feel the magic on the paper. Tears suddenly welled up in Kreacher's bloodshot eyes, "The young master is a loser!Oh, my poor mistress, what would she say if she knew that the rebellious young master Black had betrayed the glory of her ancestors? How disappointed Kreacher and the mistress were!"
"The young master betrayed his family's precious wealth in order to survive! It's just a shame, a shame!" said Kreacher, who had already distorted his personality and made it difficult for him to communicate.
"Quiet!" Malfoy scolded Kreacher, and the house-elf was immediately silent, not daring to scream any more.
"I, as your new master, command you to clean the whole house at once. Malfoy commanded forcefully, and he no longer had the idea of being able to communicate with the house-elf normally.
"Dobby, you go and help him. Malfoy added.
"Yes, young master. Dobby said respectfully as he hung his big head, almost touching the ground.
Malfoy thinks that the two house-elves may have a common language.
But he miscalculated this time.
"Master Malfoy is the best master I've ever met, he's always been very tolerant, and even pays Dobby!" said Dobby and Kreacher walked side by side along the wide corridor, the former proudly showing off the benefits Malfoy had given him.
"Disgusting, get out of here, shame!" but Dobby's behavior did not have even the slightest effect, but had the opposite effect, Kreacher looked at Dobby with a look of disgust, and said with disgust: "Shame on the house-elves, what do you think? Reward? I have to have a business with a kind of person who vainly wants to get paid, will I also fall into this situation in the future? Do you still have your consciousness as a servant?"
"Dobby is not a servant, Dobby is a free elf!" Dobby immediately retorted.
"Ridiculous!" Kreacher's high-pitched voice mocked Dobby mercilessly.
Then the two house-elves quarreled all the way to complete their mission.
"It's too dark in here. Malfoy said, looking around at the dim surroundings, then waved his wand with a thudding sound, and then a row of old-fashioned gas lamps lit up on the wall, casting a flickering unreal light on the peeling wallpaper and polished carpet of the long, eerie foyer. A cobweb-like chandelier shimmered overhead, portraits blackened by age hung crookedly on the walls, and the chandelier and the candelabra on a rickety table next to it were made in the shape of a serpent.
"It's much better now. Malfoy nodded in satisfaction, then said to Pansy, "Now if you regret it, it's too late, I'll send you back." ”
"Well, it's not scary here. Pansy held on, trying not to tremble in her voice, but the strange, eerie decorations always gave her an eerie feeling, and she couldn't help but feel scared.
The two of them walked slowly in the long aisle, but even with the lights, there was still a small accident.
"Ahh
"Uh... It's just a sniffing claw grabbing your leg, and if I'm not mistaken, it's supposed to be a dead thing. Malfoy glanced casually, the fluff on his paws losing their toughness as the years passed, and the long pointed nails and pale white tips of the claws.
"Is this family all crazy?" Pansy breathed a sigh of relief, then grumbled, "The beast's claws in the aisle in front of the foyer?"
"Next year's Magical Creature Conservation class will probably learn about this creature. Malfoy snapped his fingers, then stared at Pansy and said, "This is a rodent with a natural obsession with gold and silver jewelry, and has an extremely keen sense of smell when it comes to finding treasure, and I guess the people of the Black family may be superstitious that having the claws of this creature in their home will make them rich." ”
"I think it's bad luck to be real. Pansy stomped on her paw in hatred and nearly tripped over her paw.
"Maybe. Malfoy shook his head, then reminded, "If you take a few more steps ahead, you might even trip over if you're not careful." ”
Pansy then noticed that there was an umbrella stand in front of him that looked like it was made of trolls' legs.
"This family's taste is really strange. Pansy said with a frown, then leaned over to the side, carefully avoiding the 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 various decorations that could be seen everywhere, but also valuable, celebrity paintings, and all kinds of magic table lamps that had been out of print for many years.
Just as Malfoy was judging the antiques with his own eyes, Pansy's voice came from the front again.
"De, Draco, then, what are those?" Malfoy saw Pansy's shadow reflected on the wall with the help of the overhead light, only to see her suddenly raise her arm and point to the wall in front of her, crying.
"Those are my most respected seniors!" said Kreacher, standing on the dark staircase beside him, his huge head suddenly protruding from the railing.
Directly in front of Pansy was a mottled wall, with a row of crumpled heads clustered on the wall panels, and she could clearly see that these were creatures like Dobby and Kreacher, the heads of house-elves, all with the same ugly noses.
A feeling of vomiting suddenly rose from Pansy's stomach, it was the first time she had seen such a disgusting and frightening scene, the already somewhat rotten skull was facing her, all kinds of huge eyes were looking straight ahead, and the expressions on those faces were also full of strange smiles and satisfaction.
