Chapter 143 Large Blind Date Scene
In Foley Manor at this time.
Large expanses of flowers and lawns cover the entire periphery of the manor, and children play wildly on the lawns. Sometimes a glowing firefly flying by will cause them to exclaim.
The refreshing fragrance of flowers hit his face, and the scene before him almost made Mike think that he had traveled to spring again. The scenery here was in sharp contrast to the snowy appearance of Hogwarts Castle.
"Our family's manor is not bad." Abt pointed to a sculpture in the distance and said to Mike, "There are more than two hundred magic sculptures arranged in the entire Foley Manor. The thermal insulation magic patterns on these sculptures make it more magical. The temperature is a pleasant 22 degrees all year round.”
Mike activated his magic sense and looked towards the sculpture. Sure enough, he found a large number of magic patterns shining with magic light on the sculpture's body, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
"How much magic power does it cost every day to cover such a large area?" Mike sighed, "Is this how the Deputy Director of the Auror Office actually makes money?"
What surprised Mike was that Abt had an embarrassed look on his face after hearing Mike's words.
"Ahem, I won't hide it from you since we are friends." Abt coughed twice and said, "Actually, these magic devices cost too much, so they are only activated when there are large banquets in the manor. You The lawns and flowers you see now were actually just arranged yesterday.”
Seeing the surprised look on Mike's face, Abt hurriedly changed the subject and said: "Let's not talk about it for now. I will take you to see my father. He has been talking about you this time."
After saying that, he took Mike and walked straight into the villa in the manor. Along the way, many gorgeously dressed guests cast curious looks at Mike. They didn't understand who had such a big reputation to let today's host, The eldest young master of the Foley family personally led him into the villa.
The interior of the villa is even more luxurious than the outside. The huge magic chandelier exudes soft light, providing light to the young men and women in the hall.
Although Uncle Mario's invitation stated that it was a dinner party, this dinner was actually more like a buffet-type tea party.
A large number of delicacies were placed on a huge long table for guests to help themselves. And every time someone takes away a plate of food, a portion of the same food appears again.
Boys and girls wearing luxurious dresses gathered together in twos and threes to talk. When they got excited, they would take the wine handed by the waiter and toast each other.
Mike also found acquaintances in the crowd. Draco and Chris, who had a fight with Mike in the first grade, were also at the banquet. Next to them, there was a girl with short hair who was using nymphomaniacs. Looking at Draco with such eyes, this must be Pansy.
Unlike other boys, because Draco and Chris were too young, they did not actively seek out the girls at the party to strike up conversations with, but the three of them gathered together to chat and laugh.
I don’t know if Draco’s natural sixth sense is stronger, but he actually noticed Mike’s gaze.
The two people's eyes met, and Draco's face suddenly darkened. He instinctively glanced in one direction and then returned to his boss-my-dick look, facing Mike with a somewhat provocative smile. smiled.
Following Draco's gaze just now, Mike discovered that Draco's father Lucius and mother Narcissa were talking to Uncle Mario.
"Father, Mike is here." Abt greeted Uncle Mario from afar.
Uncle Mario was stunned for a moment when he heard his son's voice, and then quickly reacted, ignoring Lucius and his wife, and quickly walked over and hugged Mike.
"Oh! Our handsome boy is finally here!" Uncle Mario patted Mike on the back and said, "Is your teacher still unwilling to come this time? He is such a stubborn old man. I also want to help him introduce a wife. .”
Mike himself was a little out of breath from being photographed by Uncle Mario. When he heard the second half of his sentence, he even coughed violently without taking a breath.
He finally knew why Professor Flitwick was unwilling to come to this dinner. It turned out that it was Uncle Mario, an old naughty boy who wanted to help him introduce his wife.
"What's wrong with you? Do you have a cold?" Uncle Mario asked nervously when he saw Mike coughing. After that, he patted Mike's back harder.
Mike, whose back hurt from being slapped, was about to stop him when a pleasant female voice came over.
"Mr. Foley, is this the curse genius you called?" Narcissa held Lucius's arm and said with a smile, "What a talent. I heard that you are a second grader this year like our Draco. Nian, you have to teach him well, he's terrible at Charms."
"Yes, Draco knows Quidditch all day long and has been neglecting his studies." Lucius said with a fake smile on his face, "Draco, your classmate is here, why don't you come over and say hello."
Draco, who was not far away, had been watching Mike silently. Seeing that his parents, who knew that he and Mike had a problem, were still extremely unhappy with Mike's pleasant appearance, he couldn't bear it when his father called him, and he said angrily. He stepped forward and prepared to ask his father why he didn't help him.
There is no better way to know a son than a father. When Lucius saw Draco's furious look, he knew that his son's temper was about to explode again. He quickly gave Draco a vicious look and glared at Draco like a quail. .
Seeing that Draco was so afraid of his father, Mike wanted to laugh in his heart, but now this occasion was obviously not suitable to provoke Draco, so he smiled and said: "Uncle Lucius, you are joking, Draco is at school Although his grades are not the best, they have always been at the top level. I'm afraid I won't be able to teach him anything. Of course, if he quits Quidditch, I believe Draco can definitely make further progress in his studies."
"Yes, Uncle Lucius, Draco's grades are good enough. At least better than me, right?" Chris continued what Mike said after hearing this, and shook Mike's hand after that.
Hearing Mike and Chris praising their precious son, Narcissa covered her mouth and let out a cheerful laugh. Infected by this laughter, the expressions on Draco and Lucius' faces became much more natural.
Lucius was just about to continue praising Mike and Chris to respond to their business exchanges just now, but there was a commotion not far away.
"You dirty bastard! You are worse than a mudblood and you dare to come to a place like this and embarrass yourself!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw many people gathered together in the center of the hall, and in the center of the crowd were two girls.
One person was of average appearance and had a few freckles on his face. He was glaring angrily, pointing at the other girl and cursing her.
The other person had a pair of azure eyes, and his long waterfall-like silver hair shone like stars under the light.
The Pansy in this book adopts the image of Pansy in the movie version of "Prisoner of Azkaban", which is the image of a black-haired little loli played by Genevieve Gaunt, instead of the ugly one in the original book and subsequent movies. Ugly look.
