Chapter 138 Waiting After the Banquet
On the outskirts of Oxfordshire, England, in Augustus's castle, Augustus, who was sitting in the reception room of the castle, was yawning constantly.
Julius on the side also looked like he was about to fall asleep, only Ariana was still talking excitedly with Hermione and Harry.
The three ladies have been sitting under the tall Christmas tree, talking quietly, and turning their heads from time to time.
After looking at the listless men, he smiled and continued talking. It has been more than two hours since the end of the banquet.
According to the previous agreement, Augustus took Arianna and Aberforth to his castle for the holiday.
In order to create an opportunity for some people to be alone, among them Aberforth has already left, after he gave away the dress he chose, which he thought was very beautiful, but in fact it was scum, and was rejected by his sister.
I finished dinner very sadly, and then left here with a dark face without any communication with other adults.
And Professor Snape performed very well today, wearing a men's dress carefully selected by Mrs. Potter today.
She also went to the Muggle world to have her hair styled. The long hair that was re-growth was no longer so greasy, but a single ponytail.
It is simple and tough, but also very elegant. It can be said that Professor Snape has been the focus throughout the dinner.
Even Draco's mother and Hermione's mother admired Professor Snape's new look very much, which made Mr. Granger and Mr. Lucius, who was well-dressed beside him, very embarrassed.
So much so that before the banquet officially started, the three mature women had been surrounded by Professor Snape.
The two men who fell out of favor could only rely on each other to drink dull wine at the dining table.
At the same time, the wives also had a private exchange for a period of time. It was obvious to Augustus that Mrs. Potter blushed at least four times.
That kind of girlish shyness has never been seen in previous schools and teaching processes.
But seeing the necklace on the other party's neck, there is still no change, especially the pink crystal, which is still so eye-catching.
Augustus could only shake his head helplessly. Apart from praying for time to dilute all doubts, there is really no better way.
After the banquet ended, Mr. Lucius and Mr. Granger quickly left the banquet with their wives.
They left in such a hurry that they didn't even have time to talk to their children, but Augustus preferred it.
They don't want to go home with a few troubles at all. After all, they haven't enjoyed this kind of time to be alone for the holidays since they had a child for a long time.
At this time, go home and engage in a romance alone, which can greatly save your wife's heart.
"How long will it take, and why should I be here? Shouldn't you handle these things alone?"
Julius, who was yawning, asked helplessly.
Another hour passed in a hurry, and in the entire living room at this moment, Arianna and Harley had already gone to the room for a more in-depth exchange.
Draco, who tried to go to the ladies' party, was unwilling to go back to his room after being explicitly rejected, and fell asleep silently lying on the chair.
And Augustus could only explain slowly while yawning.
"There's no need to pretend to be indifferent. If you hadn't been praised by your father, you wouldn't have liked hunting at all."
"Do you still long for the approval of your family in your heart? The dinner is very delicious, and your craftsmanship is very good."
"Now our family is about to usher in a big event. As a member of the family, of course you also need to participate in it together."
Hearing these words of Augustus, Julius' tired face suddenly turned red, and he quickly denied it.
"What kind of bullshit family approval? It's just my noble hobbies. Cooking for you is just to show you the demeanor of a leader."
"Only by making yourself good enough can you lead the entire wizarding group, and only under my leadership can your great ideals be realized."
"Look at what we are now, how can we have the demeanor of a real leader, did you hear me? Hey!!!"
Seeing that Julius started to be arrogant again, Augustus didn't bother to care about him, but kept his head down while closing his eyes, and kept nodding his head to express his approval.
This perfunctory attitude immediately made Julius furious. He just wanted to stand up and give Augustus what is called Odoudou's iron fist.
He heard the metal door of the living room being slowly pushed open from the outside, and Augustus who heard the sound.
Immediately woke up, and shouted softly.
"Kreacher, take Master Draco to his dormitory, and take care of the young lady and the others, and tell them not to come to the living room if it is not necessary."
Accompanied by Augustus' words, a house elf immediately appeared beside Draco, and then hugged Draco in a daze, an apparition left the living room.
Seeing the house elf taking Draco away and hearing what Augustus said, Julius asked with some doubts.
"Didn't you say it's a family matter, and all family members should be involved?"
"Then isn't Ariana from the Dumbledore family? Why do you avoid her? Please explain to me carefully."
Facing Julius' question, Augustus did not answer directly, but looked at the old man who was walking step by step, and said indifferently.
"There is no reason, it's just that some people are shy. After all, two elderly people over 100 years old are going to get married. If ordinary people hear about it, they will only feel incredible."
This sentence made Julius a little confused, he really didn't understand what it meant, until the old man came to his side, patted his shoulder and said kindly.
"Thank you for the wild honey you specially found for us. Albus likes the cake he made. He gave each of you a gift."
"It's a woolen sweater he knitted when he was free. To be honest, it looks a bit ugly, but I still hope you can accept it."
Hearing the old but kind voice next to his ears, Julius looked up suspiciously, and saw Grindelwald, who had turned into an old man again, looking at him with a smile.
On the other side, Augustus took two exquisite gift boxes from the other party, yawned and said after putting the gift boxes away.
"Let's just talk about tomorrow's arrangements. I can help you with the scene, but have you figured out how to propose?"
"Or you didn't tell him at all, now that you have made a decision, can't you be brave once?"
