Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 1038: Ms. Higgs without principle

"Sorry, Mr. Fletcher... My host said that she had never heard of this surname. In addition, the host said that she never did business with inferior wizards other than your pure-blood family—so, three Please come back!"

　　House elves are always straightforward, because they are only loyal to their masters. No matter how unpleasant what the owner said, they will only repeat it according to the truth, and will not take care of the feelings of the listener.

　　 Just like now, Mondungus felt he was hurt.

　　 "Dunger, it seems that your face is not worth even a copper nat?" Sirius heard the elf Rice saying this, and couldn't help but teased Mondungus.

　　 However, even the contempt of the "Ms. Higgs" is already obvious to this point. Sirius, who was still talking about going away just now, didn't say a word about what he had said.

　　 Obviously, this change in his attitude undoubtedly originated from Lupin’s previous opening.

　　 Not only that, after ridiculing Mondungus by the way, Sirius actually went on to say to the house elf Rice:

　　 "Go tell your host, that there is another guy named Black who is also standing outside her workshop!"

　　Sirius had just finished saying this, when the elf Rice suddenly bent down his waist. He pressed his upper body down as hard as he could, and his bow was so wide that his curved nose almost touched the dusty ground.

　　 But after seeing this scene, not only Sirius was unmoved, even Mondungus and Lupin were not at all surprised by it.

　　 Except for those special cases with the inheritance of ancient wizards, the Black family can be said to be one of the oldest pure-blood families in the magical world in the UK, and its genealogy can even be traced back to the Middle Ages.

　　 When a cruel ancestor of Sirius created a tradition related to house elves, the image of the Black family became unusually tall among the servile elves.

　　 And the so-called "family tradition" means that when the house elves who have served the family all their lives are too old to hold their plates, they cut off their heads and nailed them to the exquisitely carved wooden boards, and then hung them. The upper wall is used as decoration.

　　 There is no doubt that this is a rare honor for those house elves who only want to be loyal to their master and family.

　　 "'Black'? Oh! Are you a member of the noble and long-lasting Black family? Please forgive the humble Rice for being rude, Rice..."

　　 "I'm rude?" Sirius stared with a vacant look, "Then you just tell me, where were you rude just now?"

　　"Because Rice didn't know that you were a distinguished guest of the Black family,...this is Rice's fault, it's Rice's rudeness..."

　　 Sirius interrupted impatiently:

　　 "What else?"

　　 "There are...and..."

　　 If it is said to be rude, it is also the rude of the Ms. Higgs as his master. However, as a house elf, how can he say that the master is wrong?

　　No, Rice didn't even dare to think like this.

　　 "Look, can't you tell me? I want to—"

　　 "Sirius!"

　　 it was Lupin who interrupted Sirius’s verbal persecution of Rice, but saw him stretch out his hand and press the latter’s shoulder and said:

　　 "How free are you, having trouble with a house elf?"

　　After stopping Sirius, Lupin said to the elf Rice again:

　　"Hurry up and explain the situation to your host? Go ahead..."

　　Rice hurriedly owed her body several times after hearing it, and murmured apologizing. Then, accompanied by a "crack", he disappeared from the door of the workshop.

　　"Huh," Sirius curled his lips and said, "I can't understand these little elves who only know how to bow to pure blood, as if they can't live without a wizard."

　　 "Then if you force him so, can you make him resist? No, in the end, he will only kneel on the ground and knock his head to bloodshed..." Lupin said in an angry manner, "This Don’t you tell me what you told me back then?"

　　 "I have been in jail for more than ten years, can I change my mind?" Sirius hummed, "I don't believe that every house elf is a kowtow."

　　 Lupin listened and shook his head helplessly.

　　"Then think more about how to make them change effectively. The method you just now will only waste time."

　　 "That's right! Hey, such a big person, and so naive..."

　　 Hearing Lupin’s words, Mondungus, who had just been run by Sirius, couldn’t help but murmured, but he immediately got Sirius’s stare.

　　 "You—"

　　 Before Sirius could speak back, the door of the workshop in front of the three was finally opened from the inside, blocking the words behind Sirius.

　　 Then, the witch who came out of the workshop frowned.

　　"When I heard about the Black family, I thought it was who it was! It turned out to be you, the guy who was already removed by your mother...Why, you still have the face to call your own surname Black?"

　　, I saw that although the witch had a white and beautiful face, she was very acrimonious in her words. In addition to the fierce satire of Sirius, she did not forget to glance at both Mondungus and Lupin.

　　 descendants from a pure-blood family, basically have a very detailed family education. This made Higgs, while mocking Sirius, also cautiously confirmed the identities of other people present, so as not to provoke someone who shouldn't be offended by a mistake.

　　 Of course, not to mention whether Montongues remembers it or not, at least she can recognize Lupin.

　　 After all, when Lupin was hired by Dumbledore as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, it was not a big deal in the British magical world.

　　 Not to mention, Lupin’s father was a well-known expert on the mysterious phenomena of the magical world before his death.

　　 It's a pity that it is impossible for Higgs to see where Lupin is of mixed blood.

　　 After randomly looking at Lupin for a few moments, her gaze fell on Mondungus again by the way. You can tell by the elimination method that this sloppy looking wizard must be The "old classmate" mentioned by the elf Rice.

　　 But when she still wanted to belittle Mondungus, Sirius actually sneered:

　　"I didn’t want this **** surname a long time ago, but I’m the only heir to the Black family? Or else! If you’re willing to give your surname, say Maybe when I am happy, I will give you the key to the Black family's vault as a gift?"

　　Speaking of this, Higgs's original white face has become scorched, but she still can't help taking a sip of water.

　　How much is the value of the Black family treasury? It was at least the accumulation of wealth of a huge family for hundreds of years. Although Sirius was obviously teasing her, he was still unconsciously frightened.

　　 "Okay," Lupin shook his head amusedly, and then said, "Ms. Higgs, although you said you don’t do business with wizards outside of the pureblood family, I don’t think you will either. Rejecting a simple and generous deal. Even if Mr. Black was just joking, it’s always right to hold a lot of Jin Jialong in his hand..."

　　 was talking, he took another step forward, and said:

　　"Please forgive me for taking the liberty, but I am also clear compared to you...In the current world, the life of each family is actually not easy. I think you will never have a hard time with Jin Jialong, right?"

　　To talk about the current situation, a pure-blooded family like Higgs is the most embarrassing.

　　 When Maca, a Muggle-born guy, fought against Voldemort and Helbo one after another, these families did not have enough background to learn from the low-key wait and see of the big family, nor did they have the courage to have no decline in Maca. Time fell to the dark wizard side.

　　 What's even more sad is that they just couldn't hide their faces to mix with the "inferior wizards" they had used in their eyes.

　　 Don't look at Higgs's glamorous appearance, his tone is just as domineering. But in fact, even her parents are not doing well now, let alone how much inheritance they will leave to her in the future.

　　 Speaking of it, the potion workshop she runs now is not enough for her to give her pure-blood surname a face.

　　 "What transaction?"

　　 Higgs after hesitating for a while~IndoMTL.com~ seems to finally put aside his resistance.

　　"Oh, it’s a long-term order for healing potions--about Baixian Essence," Lupin smiled and said, "Should we go in and talk about it, how about?"

　　"White Fresh Essence?" Higgs heard it, his eyes lit up slightly, but his mouth still reluctantly said, "Um... well! Come in..."

　　 Looking at the back of the opponent who entered first, Lupin turned around slightly and winked at Sirius. When the latter saw this, he nodded slightly.

　　 Originally, they had never thought about ordering a therapeutic potion of the grade of white fresh flavor. You know, its market price is quite high.

　　After exchanging a glance with Sirius, Lupin followed Higgs's footsteps into the workshop first. And behind him, Sirius and Mondungus, who was still arguing just now, also looked at each other, even though they passed through the gate together.

　　 Then, as soon as he entered inside, Sirius frowned when he looked at the house elves inside.

　　 When he chased for two steps and passed through the long table beside Lupin, he couldn't help muttering to himself in a very small voice:

　　"...This is really an annoying place."

　　 "Come with me."

　　 Higgs opened the door at the deepest point, and after dropping a word, he walked into a corridor behind the door.

　　 After Lupin and Sirius both entered the corridor one after another, Mondungus, who was walking at the end, glanced at Higgs' potion preparation table unconventionally, and then hurriedly followed.
