Chapter 1368? Charlie
Amid warm applause and blessings, the sacred baptism hosted by the Ravenclaw Temple ended.
This kind of ritual is actually new to most wizards and not enough to make people feel bored. Only those Muggle-born and religious families feel a little impatient with this kind of ritual-they think they will To get rid of this bondage, I didn't expect that the magic world has also changed.
"This is the most outstanding child I've ever seen...Hey, Flippe, Frigga is named after my daughter Luna." Xenophilius pulled the tassel on his hat and looked up. Holding the two babies, shaking her legs, "She said she originally wanted to call it 'Friday'... I dare say she must have been bitten by a garden engineer to have such a talent."
After finishing speaking, Xenophilius pointed to Luna who was with Helena on the other side.
Faced with this behavior of showing off that their daughter named their child after a goddess, the couple could only twitch their faces and smile. The couple looked very similar at this time, with a magic wand on their laps. Unlike wizards, they were not used to putting wands in their trouser pockets or magic robes, and both of them were wearing black umbrella-style magic robes at this time. The dark blue and bronze color scheme that happened in their original temple was directly replaced by their daughter Penello.
At this time, Luna was standing in a trance with Helena watching the ceremony, her body was leaning against a pillar, but although she came out, she didn't seem to intend to expose the pregnancy problem.
Instead of using her powers to influence other people's minds, she was dressed as Helga Hufflepuff in a thousand-year-old dress—a big, puffy khaki layer Layered on top of each other, the large square collar and the three-finger-wide brown girdle make it look beautiful. The trim of the pure black cloak is the same color as the skirt. Such a wide skirt made Luna's stomach completely covered under the long skirt, and by deliberately imitating Helga's obese figure, Luna made herself appear in front of everyone.
Luna's hair was also braided into two very simple brown thick braids, and she was hanging in front of her body, holding a Hufflepuff gold cup in her hand, drinking the ice cream that Narcissa brought her Cool Coke——Helena was forced by Luna to dress up as Rowena Ravenclaw, even wearing a Ravenclaw crown on her head. The female ghost seemed a little shy and expressionless Standing beside Luna, the female ghosts in the choir followed behind them like maids.
Seeing this scene, Helga, who was hung on a high wall wearing the same costume so that she could participate in the ceremony, stared mildly, dumbfounded.
After a few cutscenes on the stage, the guests who watched the ceremony were guided to the banquet hall.
The banquet hall of Harris Castle is used for this kind of occasion. It is the first time to use the banquet hall after the city was built. It is enchanted to look like the sky outside. The roof makes it look like a Hogwarts auditorium inside, and has The three entrances and exits are reasonably diverted by the stairs that automatically rotate according to the flow of people, without causing the occasional situation in Hogwarts schools that are all crowded in one entrance and exit.
Under the giant chandelier, the dining table covered with clean light blue tablecloth is full of sumptuous delicacies, and all the utensils shine with expensive luster under the crystal light.
Now that the celebration was entering the banquet stage, Harry could finally relax a little bit-except that Vernon and Dudley were both lovers of food, and such a sumptuous meal made it less of a problem for them to feast on.
The main reason is that Mrs. Weasley took the initiative to bring other Weasleys over to help her take care of the Dursleys after she saw that she was leading the Dursleys alone.
Mrs. Weasley was by Aunt Petunia's side. One was fat and the other had a long neck. The two of them sat together. They had nothing in common with each other. They could only barely communicate with some culinary issues, and obviously one basically needed the other. Molly, who takes care of the family and has to feed so many people in the family, and Petunia, who spends most of her time free and just trying to make her husband and son feel delicious, don't have much in common in terms of cooking style.
Although Arthur had had trouble with them for blowing up the fireplace of Vernon's house before, but this time sitting next to Vernon who is a Muggle, he still became interested again, and kept asking questions such as the impact of cars on Muggle social change. The role of diesel engine oil and the difference between gasoline engine oil and other questions-these questions are much more professional than the questions about Muggle currency that he once wanted to know. Since the Ministry of Magic and the Muggle society have communicated frequently, Arthur The Muggles' understanding also deepened.
But this also made it very difficult for Vernon, who is the director of the Grunning Company, which specializes in the production of drilling rigs, to answer—but this Muggle cherishes these topics very much at this time, and racks his brains to deal with these topics—not because he is right. The wizards have changed, but because during this period of time, he himself has become a minority, and after people around him talk about strange things he doesn't know, he also urgently needs to talk about everything he is familiar with in the world like now , even if he was actually not familiar with these things before...
Harry looked somewhat apologetic. Mr. Grindelwald took himself and his aunt's family to meet his old friends when Dumbledore and the others had something to do before, but it seemed that the other party turned to Vernon and the others after chatting a few words on the way. Lost interest and left with an excuse... and the red-nosed Grimson and the old men who were taken care of by them also made excuses and ran away with a few wrong words.
Uncle Vernon was there complaining that some wizarding nobles looked down on him, but Harry thought it was the Dursleys' own problem, because he was still in the wizarding world and he was still using his previous cognition to explain the problem, as in fact There is no such thing as nobility among wizards, at least not in England since the Statute of Secrecy came into effect.
And Harry knew that those old men got along very well with Hermione's family, and he didn't see the slightest tendency to discriminate—although what Harry didn't figure out was that the status of the Granger family in the floating city was comparable to that of ordinary troublemakers. Gua came from a different family.
No matter how uncomfortable the scene was, it finally gave Harry and Ginny some time to talk quietly together.
But at the same time, this also brought some new troubles. Now because Ron can't get bored with his Lavender Brown, he simply and naturally made a light bulb. At this time, he and Jin Ni was sitting on both sides of Harry, one on the left and one on the right. He ignored Harry's uneasiness and his sister's glaring, and kept mumbling about his own affairs, complaining that the Weasley twins didn't take him and only took Bill to do it. The thing about setting Weasleys whoosh-boom fireworks for the banquet...
"Speaking of which, Sirius is really irresponsible, Harry himself is still young, how can he take care of him." Mrs. Weasley seemed to be tired of arguing with Petunia about the way of cooking, and began to complain about Harry's godfather.
This seemed to resonate with Petunia for the first time in the conversation, and she stretched her long neck: "Actually, we don't need too much extra care, Harry's headmaster promised to give us back after we finish our studies in the wizarding world." Provide me and Dali with a job to give us a foothold. Although my Vernon does not know when he will be able to transform into a wizard, I believe that the order given to him by the Umbrella Company will allow us to get a good job in this city. Like he used to do... like he was brave enough to come with me and his son..."
Penny's words made Vernon, who had turned from pride to a little inferiority, straighten up. He said to Arthur: "I've taken a fancy to an apartment... I'm going to sell our former house in South Kensington, fuck you The bank exchanged a sum of money." Seeing that Arthur didn't respond to the place name, he reacted annoyed and explained, "You know that South Kensington is our rich area...so that the kid and his murder... His godfather is away every day."
Harry sighed and didn't speak. He already understood that this matter was deliberately done by Alan, who likes to watch people joke. If Alan had played enough, he would definitely arrange these for his aunt's family according to his style, but the problem I just don't know if I'm satisfied or not...
However, it also changed Weasley's view of this family a little bit. No matter how snobby they were to Harry before, they were still decent and independent in essence.
"Sirius has been missing in the Ministry of Magic recently. Director Josephine Harris spends a lot of time looking for him every day because of this. If it wasn't for the Black family, I think he would have been fired a long time ago..." Percy Sitting upright, he seemed to feel a little gaffe and changed the topic after hearing the complaint, "Although today is not as grand as Director Albert's wedding, the guests are not small at all. Except for the principal of the magic school, I I even saw the ministers of the Ministry of Magic from several countries coming... I thought they didn't have a good impression of Britain..."
"Uh...Actually, I don't think things are that simple...You know I have some well-informed friends in Romania, and they talked about some rumors about the president of the Federation in the south of Romania. Maybe they came here today and this has something to do with it..." Charlie Weasley sat next to Percy. He was shorter, fatter and stockier than his brother. He also had the characteristic red hair of the Weasley family, and his weather-beaten face was covered with freckles. It turned brown and black—in fact, Charlie had quit his job at the dragon farm in Romania, which was far away from England and the floating city, and switched to the management of the umbrella dragon farm in the floating city. If he hadn't loved fire dragons too much and was forced to make a living, as a Weasley who also put his family first, he wouldn't have worked so far away, but might have chosen to become a Quidditch star—— You must know that although Charlie is not as good as Percy in terms of grades, he is extremely talented in Quidditch. In the mid-eighties, he has been the Chaser of the Gryffindor team and became the captain after the weapon However, the last time Gryffindor College won the Quidditch Cup was really won under his leadership.
At this time, Charlie, who had just finished speaking, was rolling up his sleeves and holding a portion of oysters in a somewhat inelegant manner, which also revealed his muscular arms, one of which had a large shiny big spot that was burnt by fire. The scars are very conspicuous - Dali, who was also eating a lot of Hesse, seemed to have a glimpse of these scars, and he didn't dare to reach out to pick up the oysters, and moved his chair back with some fear.
"Don't worry, Dali. I'm a dragon trainer, not a dark wizard. You don't have to be afraid... This scar was accidentally injured when I was training a Chinese fireball dragon... By the way, your necklace is good." Charlie In fact, he has a broad face like a nice gentleman, and he showed an amiable smile, pointing to the somewhat feminine silver necklace on Dali's neck, and praised, then looked at his younger brother Percy, "As for Sirius And Director Harris...I've seen them wandering around my dragon farm more than once...and in fact, I saw them wandering in the garden just now..."
