Chapter 012 Family Inheritance

Harry immediately opened his mouth to refute, only to hear Catherine say suddenly.

"I've heard from Mr. Weasley that this time the undercurrent is very big."

Harry was dumbfounded, and he realized that he had no idea what was going on between Catherine and Lucius.

"It's just a bunch of clowns jumping off the beam." Lucius said contemptuously, looking up at the exit of Tumbledown Alley.

"I'm sorry I can't help you right now." Catherine's words made Draco frown instantly, he was not as ignorant as Harry, he naturally knew very well what this sentence meant, at this moment, he couldn't treat girls as peers at all.

"There's a future, isn't there?" Lucius stopped, turned and looked down at Catherine.

"Yes, Mr. Malfoy." Catherine smiled and saluted, "Thank you for your help." ”

"My pleasure, Miss Catherine." Lucius smirked, "Have-a-good-day!" With that, he looked at his son.

“Have－a－good－day! Catherine! And-" Draco's tone suddenly turned cold, "Potter!"

“Have－a－good－day! Malfoy! And-" Harry's angry tone shifted a few times, and finally added a hint of respect, "Mr. Malfoy!"

Lucius nodded arrogantly and turned to leave, and Drascia nodded arrogantly at Harry before turning and briskly catching up with Lucius.

"Damn Malfoy!" Harry clenched his fists and growled.

"Which one are you referring to?" Catherine asked deliberately.

Harry scratched his hair embarrassedly, "It's Draco!" ”

"Oh! Draco! Catherine groaned meaninglessly.

"Catherine!" Harry was so angry that he wanted to jump to his feet, but it only made Catherine's eyes even more unreasonable, and he had to choose to change the subject, "What did you just say to Mr. Malfoy?" ”

"On June 29th, Draco's grandfather, Signus Black, passed away suddenly," Catherine's tone suddenly became stern, "because the last direct descendant of the Black family, Lady Malfoy's cousin Sirius Black, was imprisoned in Azkaban 11 years ago, so all the connections that the Black family had operated for nearly a thousand years were in danger of disappearing, and Mr. Signus Black's will told Mrs. Malfoy to dispose of all the Black family's property, so those who tried to get their hands on this huge fortune." , and is ready to find a way to bring down Mr. Malfoy, and Mr. Weasley is the spearhead pushed by those guys. ”

"Impossible!" Harry shouted in shock, "Mr. Weasley, there's no way he's going to do that!" ”

"Mr. Weasley, though a bit of a big deal, as a government official, still senses that something is wrong with the recent form, but—" Catherine shook her head with a wry smile, "the conflict between him and Mr. Malfoy over family matters makes it impossible for him to back down at this time, not to mention that he is very happy to take advantage of this rare opportunity." ”

"Why are adults so complicated!" Harry frowned.

"Society is inherently so complicated!" Catherine looked up at the Weasleys, who were standing on the steps of Gringotts waving vigorously at them, and said in a deep voice, "We can only learn how to adapt to this society faster than those children who have parental protection. ”

Harry was dumbfounded and didn't know what to do, but luckily the Weasleys who came running quickly washed away the heavy atmosphere around him.

"Harry!" Arthur grabbed him by the shoulder and gasped, "We wish you only missed one furnace door......" He wiped his polished sparkling baldness, "Mollidu is mad—she's coming." ”

"Where did you come from?" Molly, who hurried with Ginny in tow, asked eagerly.

"Tumbledown Alley." Catherine said with a straight face.

"Great!" The twins screamed together.

"The grown-ups never let us go." Ron said enviously.

"If you don't want to be trafficked to strange places, then it's better to listen to adults." Catherine pouted and said angrily, "If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have gone to such a dangerous place!" ”

"Didn't you get out safely?" Ginny asked, puzzled.

Catherine looked away and didn't want to answer, and the others had to look at Harry, who grabbed his hair and hesitated, then whispered, "We met Malfoy and his father!" ”

"Lucius Malfoy?" Arthur immediately asked vigilantly, "What is he doing in Tumbledown Alley?" Buy something unsightly? ”

"No," said Harry, "he's gone to sell at the Burgin-Bock shop." ”

"He's scared," said Arthur sternly and satisfied, "oh, I'd love to get the evidence of Lucius Malfoy......"

"Be careful, Arthur." Molly admonished him, "That family is not easy to mess with, don't bite your bones that can't be gnawed." ”

"Do you think I can't beat Malfoy?" Arthur said indignantly, and Catherine couldn't help but chuckle out loud at this remark.

"I just remember the first time I saw you together." Catherine explained with a smile, and the others immediately looked at Arthur, only to find that his face was as red as his hair.

"What's wrong, Arthur?" Mo Li asked, confused.

"Nothing!" Arthur waved his hand vigorously, "It's time for us to go to Gringotts." Then he pushed Mo Li and led her daughter away quickly.

"What the hell is going on?" The twins huddled up with Catherine.

"Why don't you ask?" Catherine asked rhetorically.

"He's definitely not going to say that." Ron puffed out his cheeks, "That must be his ugly thing!" ”

Harry tugged at her sleeve curiously, but Catherine shook her head slightly, and Percy narrowed her eyes slightly.

They meet the Granger family at Gringotts as they exchange huàn currency, and Hermione's arrival makes Catherine cheerful again, and the two talk about their summer homework, much to the disgrace of Harry and Ron's ears.

Because of Snape's self-indulgence, Catherine had to make a trip to the underground vault to get the money, and Hermione, after hearing that the process leading to the underground vault was comparable to the most thrilling roller coaster, immediately dragged her parents to visit it.

The car prepared by the goblin was not spacious, and the twelve people could only be divided into two groups, and the four second-year students accompanied the Granger couple to Catherine's vault first, and as soon as they opened the door, they were filled with pure gold gallons.

Hermione was sure that the rumor that Catherine was the richest student at Hogwarts was true, Ron whispered that Slytherin was really the money-hungry Poseidon, and Harry looked at his hands even more dejectedly, he had wanted to give half of his parents' inheritance to Catherine, and he thought that the sister he had just met was so rich.

So when he arrived at the Potter family's vault, Harry just absentmindedly grabbed a few handfuls of coins into his purse and prepared to leave, but Catherine suddenly pulled him into the vault.

"Catherine, what's wrong?" Harry was puzzled, but the red-haired girl just walked over to the Bronze Nat Hill where Tracy had fallen and took a closer look.

"A box?" Harry was surprised to see Catherine find a box carved with a rose pattern from the pile of money, "How can there be a box here?" ”

"If you don't know, how can I know?" Catherine said innocently, holding up the box to take a closer look.

Without a lock, Catherine naturally reached out to open the lid of the box, but suddenly felt a pain in her palm, she withdrew her hand, and saw that the palm of her hand was punctured by the stamen of the rose, and the blood fell on the box, as if it had melted into the water, and the petals of the originally white rose immediately started from the middle, and began to turn red and black one by one, until the seventh petal turned pink.

"What's going on?" Harry asked, a little frightened.

"I don't know." Catherine stared at the box.

The leaf carvings on the box began to move, revealing a slit, and then the box was opened, and on the sable satin lay a ring, a ring of rose leaves, on which opened a pink rose with seven petals. And behind the lid, a string of golden characters emerged, which read:

My descendant Catherine, congratulations on your seven-petal pink rose ring, wear it on your hand so that you can always inherit the family legacy.

Catherine raised an eyebrow, she really didn't expect that this box contained a family heirloom, something she had never been able to find clear information.

Curious, Catherine picked up the ring and placed it on her left index finger, which tightened so violently that her brain burst into a whole bunch of things, and then flew in front of her eyes like a movie playing ten times faster, and then stopped when she could no longer remember the contents.

"Catherine, what's wrong with you?" Harry panicked as she asked the red-haired girl who was sitting on the ground panting.

"I'm fine, Harry." After breathing steadily, Catherine gave Harry a reassuring smile before closing her eyes to check the extra things in her mind.

It turns out that this is the inheritance ring, which records the common knowledge of the wizarding world, secrets between families, special spells and secret potion recipes, etc., quite a mobile library, as long as you press your finger on the white rose on the box, the stamen will automatically extract your blood and magic to evaluate your ability, each petal represents a level, and the darker the petal color, the more firmly you have mastered the ability at this level.

Every clansman who has reached the age of eleven can come to the test, but only the sixth-order is considered qualified, while the seventh-order has a certain power in the family and can hold important positions, the eighth-order automatically becomes the heir of the patriarch, and the ninth-order is the patriarch, and the highest is the tenth rank according to legend, but there is no record of this in the information obtained by Catherine.

According to the genealogy in Catherine's mind, not every patriarch of this thin-blooded family can reach the ninth order, and their father who died early is also a member of the ninth order, and the only one on his ring is the eight-petal red rose, which is considered one of the worse patriarchs in the past, and of course it is also related to his early death.

When she reopened her eyes, Catherine found that the inheritance ring on her left hand had turned into a seven-petal Blood Rose.

"I didn't expect to get this thing at this time." Catherine thought happily.

"Catherine, how can this ring change color?" Harry asked curiously.

"You can get it too." Catherine smiled as she pressed Harry's hand to the box that had been closed.
