Chapter 114: The Down-and-Out Witch
"Fashionable, well, I thought you guys were still talking about men and kids in salons!"
Benjamin said without hesitation that his brow furrowed when he ate foie gras stuffed with red wine, which tasted much worse than Hogwarts. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When Mrs. Ludwig heard this, she gently lifted her skirt, revealing a pair of white thighs.
"Benjamin, what are you talking about? We just like to compare, and now is the age of peace, and everyone finds that there is nothing to compare with, so it is better to go to a concert and improve our self-cultivation. ”
Benjamin glanced at Mrs. Ludwig for some reason, not very understanding of the psychology of these witches.
"Okay, you just have to enjoy the music in the box. Mrs. Ludwig wiped all the grease from her mouth with a handkerchief and left the dining room with Benjamin.
There were still five hours before the concert began, and Mrs. Ludwig took Benjamin to a friend's house.
This friend, of course, is a wizard, or a pure-blood wizard.
Benjamin followed his mother briskly, and after passing through the alleys, they finally came to a very unassuming-looking apartment.
"Mother, where is this?" asked Benjamin, with some surprise, for he thought that Mrs. Ludwig's friend should have been a noblewoman living in the villa, rather than such a shabby, gloomy bachelor apartment.
Mrs. Ludwig pulled her long dark green dress over a puddle. "Are you curious why my friend would live in such a place? Actually, I was a poor girl before I married your father. We're pure-blood wizards, but we're poorer than the Weasleys! They have a father who is an official, and my parents are farmers. ”
"Farming?" asked Benjamin, surprised, he really didn't expect her mother's family to be like this.
"Yes, many wizards like to develop potions, but natural materials are always in short supply. They planted these common materials in their fields. Okay, let's not mention that, isn't our family doing well now?"
Benjamin admired Mrs. Ludwig even more, and it was really not to be underestimated that such a woman from such a background could marry into one of the most powerful wizarding families in Germany.
Benjamin didn't ask any more questions, but followed Mrs. Ludwig and walked up to the apartment.
Narrow staircase, and when going upstairs, I met a bare hooligan.
"Hey, pretty girl, are you here for me?"
It's just that this scoundrel has already been petrified by Benjamin before he has even met Mrs. Ludwig.
Benjamin shrugged at Mrs. Ludwig's surprised gaze, "Mother, I'm just doing it subconsciously, and they won't find out that it's the magic I'm using, will they?
Madame Ludwig smiled indulgently, and kicked the rascal as she used it to nothing.
"If it were me, I would definitely use black magic to make him miserable. ”
At this time, the iron door upstairs suddenly opened.
A weak female voice came from behind the door.
"Daphne, is that you?"
Benjamin speculated that this person must be a friend of Mrs. Ludwig's, who could know their presence only by telepathy, and it seemed that he was really a friend.
Mrs. Ludwig walked up briskly, "It's me, Rose, long time no see, dear. ”
Benjamin followed Mrs. Ludwig through the rusty gate.
He saw a slightly bloated woman hugging her mother.
It's just that this fat woman's expression is not so friendly.
"What are you coming to see me for?" asked Rose, unhappily after a reluctant polite gesture, she took a step back, and then glanced at Benjamin.
Mrs. Ludwig stood in this small room, surrounded by wine bottles, household garbage, and even panties stained with white liquid.
Even so, Madame Ludwig kept the smile on her face.
Benjamin was almost unable to find his foot, but he speculated that there must be another man in the room, a drunkard.
"I'm just here to see how you're doing, Rose, we haven't seen each other in seven or eight years. Mrs. Ludwig said, even grabbing Rose's calloused hand and sitting down on the sofa.
"Look at you, what you've become! Do you remember our days at Hogwarts?"
Rose moved awkwardly on the couch, but finally did not resist.
Benjamin closed the door with great interest, carefully avoiding the clutter on the floor, and sat down on the couch where the fabric was exposed.
"Yes, it's been seven or eight years, this is your child, isn't it?
Mrs. Ludwig paused before she said, "If you had listened to me at the time, and did not marry this man, you would not have had such a bad life! You see, he knows how to drink all the time, and I am afraid that every time he gets drunk, he will beat you, right?"
Benjamin was very content to be a listener and tried to make his presence less visible.
"Perhaps, but so what? I know a lot of people think I shouldn't marry a Muggle. The fate of the present is indeed proof that you are right. It's just that love has anything to do with right and wrong?"
Madame Ludwig was stunned, and none of the words she had prepared seemed suitable for answering.
"Perhaps, you are right. Mrs. Ludwig waited for a while before she said this. "But you're a wizard, look at what you've become of your life, living in a stinking apartment, being beaten and scolded by a drunkard every day, is this the kind of love you want!"
Benjamin's head was getting lowered, and if he knew what his mother was here for, he would have offered to wait for him outside the apartment.
Now, he only feels embarrassed.
Rose sneered before she said sharply, "Daphne, you never show favor for no reason, let's say, why did you come to me this time?"
Benjamin was taken aback, and always felt that this fat and ugly-looking witch was not simple.
And Mrs. Ludwig was debunked, and the expression on her face was still calm.
"Well, Rose, you're still that smart. Mrs. Ludwig looked at Benjamin, "Son, you wait for me outside for two minutes." ”
