harry potter book of crimes

Pansy Parkinson, a pure-blooded little witch who grew up in an environment that was neither good nor bad since she was a child.

According to the records in the book "Pure Blood Directory", the Parkinson family is also one of the twenty-eight sacred families that have always adhered to the pure blood tradition.

However, like other pure-blood families that are gradually declining, the foundation accumulated by the Parkinson family over the past generations is also being consumed year after year, and is even gradually coming to an end.

Now, if someone asked Pansy to tell who the most recent famous wizard in her Parkinson family was in the history of modern magic, she would probably have to use her usual ruthlessness to fool him, right?

Yes! The last member of the Parkinson family who is qualified to be included in the history of modern magic - the "most useless Perseus" who was famous for his failure as Minister of Magic. How could she say this?

?

What's more, those were already more than two hundred years ago, an ancient event that only happened in the first half of the eighteenth century.

Yes, maybe only the remaining members of this family will understand - if we don't find an opportunity to climb, the pure blood pride of the Parkinson family will probably die naturally while lingering.

Therefore, after a new generation of Parkinson's descendants were born more than ten years ago, the heavy expectations of the Xingsheng family were placed on her, Pansy Parkinson's...brother Persey, from her parents who also had no prospects.

Parkinson's shoulder.

To be honest, Pansy's brother Perses is really not a talented wizard - not only that, he even lacks the communicative skills required by a pure-blood family.

However, he always puts on a domineering mask and works hard secretly where others don't know.

Unfortunately, maybe the burden placed on him by his parents was too heavy!

Despite his constant persistence, he was eventually crushed.

From the initial secret struggle at Hogwarts, to entering the workplace after graduation, and finally... Perses became a drunkard who only knew how to hang out in bars and tease Veela.

In the end, he, Pansy, and the Parkinson couple, the parents of another younger brother who was even more useless than him, finally gave up on this good-for-nothing son who had lost all fighting spirit after repeatedly admonishing and warning to no avail, as if he had resigned to his fate.

"Scold me? Are you qualified to accuse me? Think about yourselves! You have been living at the bottom of the Ministry of Magic all your life, waiting to die. How much better than me! Yes! I am a waste...

But you are also a pair of old losers!"

Pansy still remembered that night, her brother, who was drunk as usual, pointed at his parents' noses and cursed, then went back to his room and slammed the door.

Pansy felt that she would never forget that scene in her lifetime.

In fact, as the younger sister of Perses, Pansy has admired her eldest brother very much since she was a child.

She respects her brother for being better than her in everything and being more powerful than her brother Mostor. She also admires her brother for his way of not being convinced by anyone and being able to hold his head high in front of everyone.

Even Pansy's bitterness and bossiness so far were imitated and secretly learned from her brother.

Ah! Maybe it’s because Draco Malfoy has a lot of similarities with his brother! That’s why she took a fancy to the man with golden hair at the pure-blood family dance when she was young.

Proud boy.

But that night, she heard her brother truly say the words "I am a waste."

There is no doubt that this is a huge shock to Pansy, who has only seen the confident side of her brother.

You must know that before that, even if she knew that her brother came home drunk every night, she always felt that her brother was active in his own way.

After all, how could my brother, who was able to work in the Ministry of Magic after graduation and quickly surpass his parents in position, suddenly fall?

To this end, Pansy tried her best to get words out of her Slytherin classmates, especially Malfoy, and learned about a big problem her brother encountered in the workplace.

Since the Ministry of Magic has been in turmoil several times in recent years, even the leadership team has almost been changed. And her brother Perses also ended up being thrown into a sinecure with no real power because he fell in love with the wrong person twice in a row.

There is no chance of turning around anymore.

On the night when she learned the specific situation, Pansy lay in bed and lay awake all night - she had never thought about family affairs carefully, so she remembered bit by bit some of the words of her parents and brother.

Late at night, she suddenly turned over and sat up, muttering to herself with a dull expression:

"Has my brother given up on the glory of the Parkinson family?"

Pansy knew that her youngest brother, Mostor, was worse than her in ability and had not sought to improve since he was a child; and as a girl, she was far inferior to her brother Perses and was destined to be a high school student in the future.

Changed to another surname.

So, what should she do?

Should she marry a husband from a prominent family and let her brother find a new starting point...or should she work hard and prove to her parents that even a witch can restore the family's reputation?

From that day on, Pansy, who had matured ahead of schedule due to her sudden awakening, stared at Malfoy with a more intense gaze than before.

She planned to take another gamble on the boy she had also admired since childhood!

However, the facts proved that the girl of fate had never been on her side - Draco Malfoy, whom she was optimistic about, seemed to always live in the shadow of Maka McClain, and was

I couldn't lift my head even once.

No, in fact, what's more important is that Malfoy doesn't seem to care about her who is by his side every day... not even a little bit.

What should I do, give up?

…

"Mrs. Parkinson, Miss Parkinson, please take a look at this dress - this is a sample that the Black family once sold on the black market! The only one on the market now... Look! There is Black in this corner.

Magic embroidery, this is the most noble proof..."

I remember it was the last few days of Christmas, and Pansy followed her parents to go shopping in the underground black market that ordinary wizards would never know about.

There are a lot of things here, and most of them are of varying quality, but as long as you are discerning enough, you can sometimes even make money buying things here.

For the Parkinson family, whose family's economy is deteriorating but still trying to keep up appearances, this underground black market is undoubtedly the best place to shop.

"It's just a magic embroidery - as long as there are specialized craftsmen, you can put this kind of signature logo on clothes in batches. Are you insulting our Parkinson family?"

"Oh! Don't be like this, madam! This... take a look at this one again. This is guaranteed to be the best dress in our store! Look at it..."

Listening to her mother's endless conversation with the shopkeeper, Pansy suddenly felt a little bored.

"Mom, let me go to the pet shop opposite."

"Huh?" Mrs. Parkinson frowned and couldn't help but whisper, "Yes, you can, but you know - don't touch anything you can't understand, do you understand?"

"Of course, you have brought me here many times, I understand all this."

After nodding casually, Pansy turned and walked outside the clothing store. She quickly passed through the slightly dim but crowded street and entered a store selling rare and exotic pets across the road.

In the store.

However, she actually doesn't like these magical creatures, not to mention that the magical creatures here all look weird, and some are even disgusting.

Under the cold gaze of the gloomy shopkeeper, Pansy walked around the iron cages in the shop without a care, and then walked out of the pet shop again without interest.

She didn't want to look at the animals, and her mother didn't want to stand like a wooden figure - she wanted to argue with the shopkeeper just like her mother, and at the same time follow the example of her brother in the past, and scold the shopkeeper arrogantly.

That's right...it's my "past" brother.

But Pansy couldn't do that, because her mother would never allow others to disturb her in choosing clothes - even if the gift was actually purchased for her daughter.

Unknowingly, Pansy, who was slightly upset, walked along the street and walked deeper into the road.

Of course, she did not get lost because of this. Although the roads in this underground black market were very complicated and it was easy to lose track of the route she came from in the streets and alleys, she still knew this area.

And when she continued to walk a few steps forward, a gorgeously decorated facade suddenly attracted her attention.

"King of Xiu Xiu's Grocery Collection Store—Every one of our treasures is taken out of Xiu Xiu's treasure bag."

Even Pansy, who doesn't like taking Care of Magical Creatures class, knows that Nifflers are magical creatures that are interested in anything shiny or of high value. They will treat all the treasures they like.

They are stuffed into the space treasure bags on their bellies and transported to the lair for storage.

After thinking about it, Pansy decided to go into the store to take a look.

Because she also knew that the "treasures" collected by Xiu Xiu also needed to be screened, and she might be able to find some good things that no one had discovered yet.

If that were the case, she might be able to give Taobao to her brother as a birthday gift this year.

"Brother will be happy, right? Maybe he can cheer up all of a sudden!"

As soon as the thought flashed through her head, Pansy no longer hesitated, walked straight up the steps in front of the collection store, and walked along the carpet.

But she didn't know it at the time. Later, she actually bought a "good thing" in this store at a relatively low price, which plunged her into an abyss of decision. (To be continued)
