Chapter 142 Heading to the Manor

In the hall of Hogwarts Hall, Mike was walking towards the outside of the castle accompanied by Professor Flitwick.

Today's Mike was obviously dressed up specially. He was wearing a decent black suit and looked extremely capable.

This suit was specially made by Mike to attend the dinner party held at Foley Manor tonight.

Originally, Mike was planning to buy a dress in Diagon Alley, but when he actually came to the store that sells dresses in Diagon Alley, he was dumbfounded.

I saw that almost all the samples displayed in the store were British ancient dresses. The women's dresses were quite beautiful, but the men's dresses were really too scary to look at. You know, many men's traditional British dresses are worn with stockings or high heels.

In desperation, Mike had no choice but to go to a tailor-made suit shop in London and ask the tailor there to tailor a black suit for him.

Making a tailor-made suit is a very time-consuming task, even in the era of extremely advanced modern technology in Mike's previous life, it would have taken nearly two months.

But Mike doesn't have that much time to wait, the dinner will be held next week.

In the end, after Mike paid the suit custom-made shop a large amount of overtime pay, the store manager finally agreed with a smile, but he also asked Mike to come to the store once a day for a fitting during this week, otherwise the suit would be finished. It will most likely not fit properly.

Finally, after going through all kinds of hardships, Mike finally put on this suit, and the effect of this suit was also very good. Mike, wearing a suit, attracted the attention of his classmates as soon as he appeared in the auditorium. If Professor Flitwick was still next to him, they would have gathered around him.

"Are you really not going? Professor Flitwick." Mike adjusted his sleeves and asked.

"I'd better forget it, it's enough to have you as the representative." Professor Flitwick, who was asked, patted Mike's back and wiped away the dust that didn't exist in the first place, "Besides, compared to that I prefer the Christmas dinner at Hogwarts to the aristocratic dinner. Okay, let’s go quickly, Abbot must be waiting impatiently.”

After hearing this, Mike stopped persuading him and leaned down to give Professor Flitwick a hug before walking out of Hogwarts Castle.

In the open space in front of the castle, an extended black Lincoln was parked quietly. There was already a circle around the little wizards who had chosen to stay in school like Mike. This was their first time seeing such a luxury car, and they couldn't help but feel... Somewhat curious.

The driver waiting by the car noticed Mike and hurriedly stepped forward to open the door for Mike. After Mike nodded his thanks and got into the car, the driver rubbed his hands and came to the driver's seat.

As soon as Mike entered the car, he found Abbott wearing a black dress and sitting on the leather chair in the car.

"Oh, you look so handsome." Abt greeted, "Are you ready? When we are, we will set off."

Mike nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "Why did you suddenly think of inviting me to the dinner? Is there something wrong?"

"You are worrying too much. I just suddenly want to meet you." A strange smile appeared on Abt's face, "It's just that tonight's dinner is indeed a bit special."

"What special method?"

Abt looked towards Mike with a strange look on his face, and whispered: "Let me tell you, including the dinner held by our family, the dinners held by various big families during this period are essentially large-scale blind dates. The purpose of this activity is to find suitable spouses for the heirs of major families.

As you know, almost all the British wizarding aristocracy are now relatives. If everyone continues to marry each other like this, sooner or later they will give birth to deformities. "

"So you need new blood to join." Mike's face turned a little dark, "And I am that new blood, or one of the new bloods."

Mike's tone was a bit unkind. He originally thought that Abbot asked him to attend the dinner because he had something to talk to him in person, but he didn't expect that he wanted to drag him over to become a stud.

"No, no, no! You misunderstood! You are definitely not the so-called new blood, but our distinguished guest. The new blood this time is actually some ladies from wizarding families in France." Abbot, who was opposite, saw that Mike had misunderstood. , hurriedly explained. "If you think about it carefully, you should know that most of the heirs of various wizarding families are men. Why are you allowed to be the new blood? You can't help them give birth to children."

After Abbot finished speaking, he saw that Mike's face was a little red and knew that he had understood what he meant, and then said:

"The purpose of inviting you here this time is just to show your face in the circle of British wizards and aristocrats. There is no other meaning. Please stop thinking about it.

Of course, if you like a girl at the party, you can go after her. Don't worry about people discriminating against your bloodline, you are a friend of our Foley family. "

Seeing Abbot's proud face when talking about the Foley family, Mike couldn't help but feel warm in his heart and said, "Sorry, I just misunderstood you."

"What are you talking about? We have a life-long friendship." Abt punched Mike on the chest and said with a smile, "Come on, stop talking about this, let me tell you about my time in the Auror Corps. .Brother, I got promoted after what happened last time, and now I am the Auror Squad Leader..."

The driver sitting in the driver's seat saw the two people chatting happily, so he started the Lincoln and drove towards the outside of Hogwarts.

The roads leading from Hogwarts to the outside world are not easy to walk, especially in this season. Almost all roads are covered with a thick layer of snow. The ground under the snow was also pitted and extremely slippery.

But this black extended version of Lincoln is obviously not an ordinary vehicle, but a modified magical car like the Knight Bus that Mike rode on.

It's just that this car is much more advanced than that shabby Knight Bus. No matter how bumpy the road is when driving, the people sitting in the car can't feel any vibration in the body.

The elongated Lincoln turned into a black shadow and rushed out of the Hogwarts Castle. Just when Mike thought they were going to drive all the way to Foley Manor, the black Lincoln suddenly slowed down.

"Don't worry, the fun is yet to come." Seeing Mike's puzzled expression, Abbott explained to him, "This is the Ministry of Magic's latest modified official vehicle. If it can only be driven like the Knight Bus, it will be fine." It’s so useless.”

As soon as Abbot finished speaking, the driver sitting in the front seat pressed a button, and then the 6-meter-long black Lincoln turned into a twisted ball of light and shadow and disappeared into the snow.

By the time Mike reacted, the black Lincoln had already parked in a manor.
