Chapter 183
Marne plans to go home for Christmas this year. It has been a long time since he spent Christmas with the Langleys. Not only him, but also several people from the tea house will go. Hermione's parents were also beaten yesterday. Ann received Hogsmeade.
Only then did Marn realize that it is very troublesome for Muggles to enter Hogsmeade. The most uncomfortable thing is that they always get lost. They often lose people while walking and always walk outside unconsciously. Granger Sir was full of curiosity about everything in the wizarding world. In the end, Hermione had to use a magic on his and Mrs. Granger's clothes. When they were about to leave Hogsmeade, it would automatically trigger the personal storage door. The keys, were delivered directly to Langley Castle.
The Muggle body is not very adaptable to this kind of teleportation magic. Every time Hermione's father is sent back, he will run to the door and vomit for a while, but he still enjoys it and even runs outside just to experience the magical magic. …
There was also Dumbledore. Considering that he was Esther's guardian, Marn tried to invite him. He thought he would stay in the school to spend the holidays with the little wizards. What he didn't expect was that he directly invited him to the school. The matter was handed over to Professor McGonagall, who readily agreed.
Marn also called Walder and told him to come back for dinner tomorrow night. He said it would be later, probably after seven o'clock, and asked everyone not to wait for him and just eat first.
Finally, Marn made some statistics. If the Malfoy family will also come to tomorrow's family dinner, there will be a total of 13 people, a somewhat embarrassing number. Although they are all magicians except the Grangers, they don't care, but considering It's a big holiday... Ma En called Nagini.
After he gave the key to the vault to Nagini that day, the lady who didn't know whether to be a eldest sister or a grandmother cried for a while, and then went to buy a lot of clothes and shoes. After that, she felt much calmer and even sent Walder a A letter expressed her gratitude. When Ma En invited her, she only hesitated before agreeing.
The little wizards are leaving school and going home one after another. Ma En and others are also simply packing up a few things, mainly the cats upstairs. They will not stay in school this holiday, and they do not plan to drive out of the Rainbow Enclave. So we need to take the cat away to avoid starving to death later.
Just when Esther finally put all the cats into the cage, Professor McGonagall walked in. She wanted to use the enclave while the little wizards were not here.
Maybe it was Dumbledore's unreliable escape that inspired her. She planned to spend a different Christmas with the little wizards this year. It would be nice to spend it in the sky. The enclave was very big, except for a few fields that could be used. In addition, there is no problem in holding a banquet in the remaining space for everyone to have fun for a while.
Naturally, Ma En had nothing to disagree with. After going out and locking the door of the black tea house, Ma En recorded Professor McGonagall's palm prints on the control console at the entrance of the enclave, so that Ma En did not have to be here, she could Fly properly.
After everything was explained, McGonagall went back to gather people to build the venue, and several residents of the Black Tea House set off for Hogsmeade.
Let several girls and a woman who didn't know how to define go to the castle first, and Marn went to another castle very close to here by himself.
Lucius's newly built Malfoy Castle is nearing completion. If you look at it by Muggle standards, it may be quite fast, but from a wizard's perspective, it's really a bit inefficient.
The main reason is that he has too many requirements. Every carving pattern must be low-key but exquisite. It belongs to the kind of style that everyone can tell is awesome at a glance but can't tell what is awesome.
This is nothing like the Langley family. Margaery once complained that Langley Castle exuded the smell of money from the inside out. Thank God that Ryan didn't have the outer walls of the castle covered with gold tiles.
Lucius was currently discussing the final touches with an architect hired from Diagon Alley.
"uncle!"
Ma En waved to him from a distance. Lucius turned his head and glanced at Ma En. After saying a few words to the architect, he walked over: "Are you going home early? I thought you were going to Stay until Christmas Day.”
"No way is it possible, we have to go home and help."
Lucius shook his head a little melancholy: "It seems that you came here directly without entering the house."
"What's wrong?" Ma En asked curiously.
He opened his mouth several times and didn't know where to start. Finally he sighed: "You'd better go home and see for yourself later..."
"Okay..." Marn looked at Lucius's newly built castle: "Where's Narcissa, why are you alone?"
"Don't mention it. I think she might have been led astray by your father and mother. She always wanted to get some golden doors and windows that only the nouveau riche can get... She sent me away to entertain guests with Miley. I heard that you called a lot of people. Come back and spend Christmas together?”
In less than a year, Lucius has experienced so much. He no longer looks down on Muggles as he did in the past, at least not showing it on the surface, and he can communicate with Muggles normally.
"Actually, it's not much, just a few people from the Black Tea House, plus a homeless Nagini and Esther's guardian, Professor Dumbledore."
Lucius nodded: "That's quite a lot."
"This year will be very lively. Fourteen people will be there, which is rare."
"It's fifteen people."
"Did you invite friends too? Is it...Severus?"
"No, Severus has something to do and can't come." Lucius waved his hand and said.
"That is?"
"Adalia."
It's a girl's name, but it's hard to tell. In fact, his name is technically the name of a girl. Ma En thought carefully about the common friends of the two families, and finally asked in confusion: "Who is this?" "
"You haven't seen her. In fact, I haven't seen her either. It will take almost seven months to really see her."
Ma En was confused: "Wait a minute... Isn't she in Narcissa's belly?"
Lucius nodded proudly, with a joy he hadn't seen in a long time.
"Adalia Malfoy?"
Lucius shook his head: "Yes or no, Marn, I hope you can promise me something."
"what's up?"
"When she grows up, let her stay with you."
Ma En was a little puzzled: "I don't have any objections. I can just talk to Esther later, but... why? I haven't grown up yet. When she gets older, I might... just become an adult?"
"There is no complicated reason. I just think she will be extremely safe with you."
"There will also be a lot of trouble."
"Many things are trouble for you, and no matter how many things are, they are just troubles, but for us, encountering them even once in our lives is a fatal danger."
"Okay...what's her full name?"
"Adalia Marne Black Malfoy."
"Why Man and not Adam?"
"I just think one day people will just remember your name."
