Chapter 302 Lupin's Pressure

Lupin suddenly stopped, looked at the bustling streets, and said sadly: "But I am still very poor. I can't even afford a better house, and I can't guarantee her a happy life."

"Don't be so stubborn. You are also Aurors, which is a high-income group." Chen Bin understood his concerns. Didn't he think so in his previous life?

In his previous life, he was a high-income wage earner. He went through his wife's family and wanted to set the wedding house in a better school network. With the same money, he could only buy half of the area in the core rich area, and the funds in the hands of the little inspector began to run out.

The father-in-law and mother-in-law were neither rich nor evil relatives who bullied others. They were also worried that this would put too much pressure on the couple, so they planned to give a down payment of 5 million. This time, Chen Bin's self-esteem took over. He rejected the good intentions of his future parents-in-law and did not accept his father's pension as a professor. He spent all his savings at once and took on a 25-year mortgage.

However, the pressure Lupin is facing now is similar to that of Chen Bin. Both of them are high-income workers, but to be frank, they are also wage earners. Tonks' parents are also very good to Lupin, but they happen to be a wealthy family and want to buy a better house for their daughter.

At this time, Lupin is not only troubled by his self-esteem, but also powerless! This is all because there is no such thing as installment payment for houses in the wizarding world!

"Remus, let's decide it this way! First, I will buy the house, and the ownership belongs to you, but the title deed is with me. You can only get the title deed back after you have paid off the house in 25 years." Chen Bin did not become a real estate developer this time, but changed his career to become a bank mortgage clerk.

"This... is a bit bad..." Lupin was embarrassed again, obviously not used to talking about money with the younger generation.

Chen Bin knew that he couldn't laugh at this time, so he had to continue to persuade with a poker face: "This is a business deal. I want an annual interest of 1%. You have to pay this interest to buy a decent home and let the Tonks feel that you can take good care of their daughter. If you talk to Isa or Sirius about this issue, they will definitely give you a house quietly. Can you accept it?"

When these words came out, Lupin's face changed.

Chen Bin understood the self-esteem of men very well, especially Lupin's age and experience were a replica of his previous life.

After a few seconds, Lupin sighed and nodded: "Thank you."

ヾ(ｏω): "That's right, tell me if you see a suitable house."

Lupin's heart knot was untied, and his patrol pace was much easier.

They chatted for a while, and a female voice said anxiously: "Sorry, I disturbed you two."

Chen Bin looked back and saw a mature woman in a professional suit bowed slightly to apologize to them.

Those who can see through the Disillusionment Charm must be wizards, and their Disillusionment Charm is the one used exclusively by the Ministry of Magic, that is, this version of the Disillusionment Charm can be seen through special props.

"Excuse me, who are you?" Chen Bin saw that the woman was so polite, so he naturally would not say anything bad to her.

The woman smiled and said, "I am the French liaison of the International Auror, Alice Rosier. Sorry, today's patrol ends here. There was a mistake in our arrangement, but we can guarantee that there will be more thorough arrangements next time."

Chen Bin and Lupin looked at each other, and obviously understood each other's eyes - the Auror Director was scolded by his superiors.

It's not that Chen Bin is narcissistic. As long as anyone has seen the film of the battle against Voldemort, no one dares to provoke Chen Bin, a small booster. No matter how small it is, it can spray a spell to kill provocateurs below Dumbledore's level. The old man's actions were obviously reported to the big shots above.

"Okay, let's go back then." Chen Bin wanted to Apparate with Lupin to the access point of the Floo Network, but the woman stopped him.

"Mr. Nama."

Chen Bin paused, turned his head and asked, "Anything else?"

The woman asked shyly, "Excuse me... Is Isabel doing well?"

(Д)! ! ? Chen Bin was petrified! Isabelle's circle of friends is too wide? How could he bump into her old acquaintances in France?

While he was still petrified, Lupin suddenly asked uncertainly, "Are you... Senior Alice?"

"You are..." The woman was stunned for a few seconds, and then asked uncertainly, "You are... the boy who doesn't talk much in the mischievous foursome? Oh my God, I didn't expect you to grow so tall."

Lupin blushed with embarrassment. This was obviously his embarrassing thing. Their group of predators might be cool in Harry's eyes, but it was a dark history in the eyes of adults.

Chen Bin saw that the two knew each other, and thought about the woman's pure English without any French accent. A flash of lightning flashed through his mind, and he opened his mouth and said, "Are you Alice Longbottom?"

But as soon as this was said, the kind woman's face suddenly turned black, and she disappeared without a word.

"Did I say something wrong?" Chen Bin asked puzzled.

Lupin cast a soundproofing magic and smiled bitterly: "She didn't marry Longbottom, so how could she change her surname to Longbottom? Don't confuse the outdated prophecy with reality."

Hearing him say this, Chen Bin remembered that Western women would change their surnames to their husbands after marriage, and she said her name was Alice Rosier at the beginning. In other words, the original book never mentioned Neville's mother's original surname, and Alice in this world did not marry Longbottom, but ran to France to become an Auror and married a young man from the Rosier family.

Chen Bin felt that Alice's reaction was suspicious. He just called him by the wrong last name. He shouldn't disappear without saying a word in front of his friend's son, right?

This was not the place for discussion, Chen Bin and Lu Ping also apparated away.

The patrol location next week has indeed changed, from the Muggle area of ​​Paris to the magical community in the Pyrenees. The neighborhood is a bit like a cross between Godric's Hollow and Diagon Alley, a mix of commercial streets and residential areas.

This mountain range is located at the border of France and Spain, so many wizards speaking Spanish and French live here. However, overall, French wizards still account for the majority. The Beauxbatons School of Magic is built nearby. Therefore, Hogwarts has activities to visit Hogsmeade on weekdays, and Beauxbatons students visit here.

This time, Chen Bin's partner was replaced by Sirius, who was even more irresponsible than Chen Bin. He complained that he was tired after patrolling less than half a block, and then got into a teahouse.

Sirius shrugged and continued: "Well, let's talk about the bar owner's wife."

Chen Bin drank the red tea and asked curiously: "Which bar owner is the boss?"

"The Three Broomsticks pub." Sirius said matter-of-factly.

"Pfft -" Chen Bin sprayed tea, but was blocked by Sirius's magic shield. "Brother, Ms. Rosmerta was born in at least 1950, so she is almost ten years older than you!"

"Tch!" Sirius rolled his eyes at Chen Bin disdainfully and said dissatisfied: "A brat is a brat."

Chen Bin almost flipped the table over.

"Hey, your girlfriend is not young anymore. When will you get married?" Chen Bin suppressed the urge to beat him and began to persuade her.

"Don't worry, I haven't had enough fun yet." Sirius shrugged his dead shoulders again.

Chen Bin wanted to continue arguing, but suddenly a wizard ran into the teahouse to report the crime.

"Business matters." Sirius took the opportunity to escape to avoid Chen Bin's fancy push for marriage.

By the time Chen Bin arrived at the scene of the crime, the two of them had forgotten about it. The reporter was the owner of this herbal medicine shop. When he checked the warehouse today, he found that many types of herbal medicines were missing. He suspected that they had been stolen by thieves.

Sirius was a fighting maniac, and it was extremely difficult for him to take notes. Only Chen Bin did his job.

The confession was almost finished here, and the proprietor of the wand shop over there asked for a report. Their wands had also been visited by thieves.

Then, before Chen Bin's patrol completed half of the street, at least five herbal shops, seven pharmacy shops, three wand shops and four joke shops were stolen.

"It seems that the security situation in France is much worse than ours." Sirius whistled.

Chen Bin put the thick evidence into his bag, shook his head and said, "Who cares? Give the confession to the local Auror, whether we can find out anything is not something we should worry about."
