Chapter 1459 Christmas Party

"Have you heard?" On the way, Colin told the intelligence of his investigation, "Professor Slughorn has invited eccentric sisters, famous Quidditch players, and vampires tonight, not Elaine." Vampires, but the real ones."

"You'd better make it clear, why am I not a real vampire?" Elaine said, showing sharp canine teeth.

"Uh, what I mean is..." Facing Elaine's threat, Colin looked at Ai Wen for help, and realized that this was not a good topic. He hesitated and said, "Real vampires are very dangerous and very dangerous. Scary, well, not like you."

"That means you don't bite people." Ivan said, drawing Elaine's gaze to himself.

"Why don't I bite?" Elaine said "violently".

"Then who have you bitten?" Ivan asked back.

Elaine couldn't answer, she didn't drink anything but dragon's blood, and it was all prepared dragon's blood.

She certainly wouldn't bite a dragon, and the scary legends about vampires had nothing to do with her.

"So, Slughorn plans to invite a real vampire to the party tonight?" Hermione also said with a smile, participating in the topic of teasing Elaine.

"Are you talking about Rufus Scrimgeour?" Luna interrupted suddenly.

"What?" Everyone looked at her in surprise.

"You mean the Minister for Magic?" Harry asked.

"Yes, he's a vampire, a real vampire, the biting kind," Luna said with certainty. "When Scrimgeour had just succeeded Cornelius Fudge, my father wrote a long article, There are blood slaves he specially bred in the Ministry of Magic, but someone in the Ministry will not allow him to publish. Obviously, they don't want to reveal the truth!"

Seeing Luna's serious look, this topic ended here.

The fact that Rufus Scrimgeour was a vampire was ridiculous, but everyone was used to Luna taking her father's whims seriously.

Hermione, the only one who couldn't get used to it and still liked to be serious, frowned and didn't express her opinion.

By this time they were approaching Slughorn's office, laughter, music, and loud voices increasing with their steps, whether by nature or by magic, Slughorn My office is much larger than the average teacher's room.

The ceiling and walls were hung with emerald, crimson, and gold hangings, making it look like a large tent.

The room was crowded and stuffy, glowing red from a golden lantern hanging in the center of the ceiling.

There are real elves flickering in the lamp, each elf is a bright point of light.

From a far corner came loud mandolin-sounding singing; a few old warlocks were chattering away with the smoke of their pipes hanging over their heads; , holding heavy silver trays, covering their bodies, looking like little roaming tables.

This place is really... great, Ivan has to admit that Slughorn really knows how to enjoy it.

He has money, knows how to play, and most importantly, has taste, which is not common among wizards.

"Ah, Ivan, Harry, my children, you are finally here." As soon as the group of people entered the door, Slughorn shouted loudly, "Come in, come in, there are so many people who want to Let you see each other!"

He wears a tasseled velvet hat that matches his smoking shirt.

Slughorn led them into the crowd involuntarily. He held Harry's arm tightly, as if to disapparate him. Harry took Luna's hand and dragged her along. Then Ivan, Hermione, Elaine, Colin, Ginny, and Dean followed behind, and the line was very long.

The team moved through the crowd, and Slughorn enthusiastically introduced them.

He invited a lot of wizards from outside the school to this gathering, all of them are well-known figures in a certain field, even though the current situation is so tense, even though there was a vicious attack on Hogsmeade not long ago, Slughorn thought No one can stop a Christmas party, not even Dumbledore.

"Boys, this is Elder Walpole, my former student and the latest wizarding celebrity!" Slughorn cried. The author, you all know this book, the best-selling book at present. Of course, there is also his friend Xueni."

A best-selling author, Ai Wen has come into contact with one before.

Lockhart was much more famous than this Walpole back then. His book about vampires became famous mainly because of the impact of the vampire attack on the Quidditch World Cup two years ago and the return of Voldemort. He developed a strong interest in vampires, which is why this book became a bestseller.

Simply put, Walpole should be thankful to Keresis, Elaine, and the Slytherin vampire clan.

Evidently aware of this, Slughorn enthusiastically drew Elaine to the front and focused on introducing her to Walpole.

Elaine lacked interest, and after a few casual sentences, she went back to the back.

She stood beside Ivan and Hermione, looking intently at the vampire opposite.

The vampire bloody man was tall and thin, with dark rings under his eyes, and looked sickly and tired.

It's hard to see how scary he is, and he doesn't have the aura of Keresis.

However, he is very popular with girls, and a group of girls gathered around him, looking curious and excited.

"A real vampire?" Elaine murmured in a low voice, with a suspicious expression on her face, "It doesn't seem like much..."

On that side, Walpole didn't seem to have much interest in Elaine and others, but he was very enthusiastic about Harry.

He grabbed Harry's hand and shook it eagerly, walking away where no one was around, looking up into Harry's face with myopic eyes.

"Harry Potter, Harry Potter, I'm so glad to meet you!" he said, "I told Professor Slughorn that day that the "Harry Potter" we are all waiting to see Where is Biography?"

"Uh, what?" Harry asked suspiciously.

"Sure enough, it's as modest as Horace said, but to be honest..." Walpole's attitude changed, and he suddenly seemed to be talking about business, "I am willing to write this book, and I have the ability to write this book well. People are eager to know more about you, dear boy, eager! If you will do a few interviews with me, four or five hours each, then, a book will be made in a few months, and it will not take you any trouble, I promise. Don't believe it If so, you can ask Xueni. Isn’t it true, Xueni, don’t go!”

Walpole suddenly became stern and his voice rose sharply.

Because Bloody was walking towards Elaine, Hermione, Ginny, and Luna, with a hungry look in his eyes.

"Here, have a pie, and stay here till I get back," Walpole said, taking a few quick steps forward, grabbing a pie from a passing elf on a tray, and stuffing it into Johnny. hand, and then turned back to turn his attention to Harry.

Xue Ni looked at the white and tender girls in front of him, then at the little Walpole, and honestly lowered his head to eat the pie.
