Chapter 264 Finals
The three returned to the castle for lunch.
"Father—mother!" Draco was taken aback when he sat down at the Slytherin table. "What are you doing here?"
"Come and see Schelling's final!" Narcissa said with a loving smile, "and come and see my baby Draco."
Lucius snorted and said in a deep voice, "Draco, how did you do in the exam?"
"Ah, this... I think it's okay," Draco said. "I can't remember the names of all the rebel goblins. Seriously, who's going to remember them? I made up a few, but knowledge of the history of magic isn't really going to be of any use to our future careers anyway, is it?"
Lucius was about to say something, but was interrupted by Narcissa, "You're right, there are only those pedantic old scholars who are interested in studying these old-fashioned sesame nonsense. Back then, my mother made it up in the History of Magic exam... From now on, if you want to know anything, you can naturally ask the servants to look it up for you."
Lucius sighed, shook his head and smiled wryly, "Narcissa, you are just too used to him. Look at Schelling, his history of magic is amazing, and the consultants on history of magic hired by the family are probably far inferior to him."
Although there is only one butler and one house-elf living in Malfoy Manor, this does not mean that there are no other servants in the Malfoy family.When Lucius manages the family business, he often needs talents from all walks of life to advise and plan for him. These talents are collectively referred to as "staff".
They are often experts in certain fields, possessing a wealth of knowledge or very special skills in the corresponding fields.They don't usually live in the manor, but they need to respond to the call of the Patriarch anytime, anywhere, and come to answer questions or provide advice for the Patriarch.
At this time, Daphne, Astoria, and Pansy also sat down.
"Aunt and Uncle, hello," the three girls called obediently.
"Ah," Narcissa gave them a warm hug, "The two Miss Greengrass, and Miss Parkinson, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you look more and more beautiful."
"Auntie, you too. I just saw you from a distance, and I was still wondering when Xie Lin had a sister." Daphne joked.
"Hehe, you can really talk." Narcissa grinned from ear to ear, she quickly exchanged glances with Lucius, and both of them nodded subtly.
"Come on, everyone is 'one of us', let's all sit down and eat together!" Narcissa called the three girls to sit beside her.
The lunch at Hogwarts is the same as usual. It is roast beef, roast chicken, pork chops, lamb chops, etc., with mashed or baked potatoes, and some vegetable salads.
Narcissa just poked the lamb chops on the plate in front of her with a knife and fork, and then stopped eating.
She said with some disgust: "The food here is really poor. You must have suffered a lot here." Then she looked at her two sons with some sympathy. Draco was fine, but Schelling felt this kind of sight and felt quite uncomfortable.
Xie Lin felt that it was just a meal, and there was no need to go through a lot of trouble.The level of food provided by Hogwarts is naturally not comparable to that of pure-blood families. After all, it provides free boarding education, and at the same time, it has to take into account the living needs of hundreds of students. Imagine if house elves were to provide dragon steaks for every student, then Hogwarts' funds would soon bottom out.
But Narcissa's words are a bit too exaggerated. Hogwarts' house-elf cooking magic is inherited from the great gourmet Hufflepuff himself. Even if the quality of the cooked food is too large, the overall level is definitely not bad.
"Aunt Narcissa, I think it's actually pretty good." Pansy chimed in.
"By the way, I have to endure eating with a group of poor ghosts. This is really a pain." Narcissa glanced at Mrs. Weasley who was sitting with Harry and Ron at the Gryffindor table at this time, and shook her head in disgust.
"Dumbledore may think that his so-called 'equal treatment' can reflect his fraternity." Lucius said sarcastically, rubbing his silver snake-headed cane.
Fortunately, the distance between them was still quite far, and Mrs. Weasley did not hear them, otherwise there would have been another verbal confrontation.
After lunch, Schelling temporarily separated from his parents.
Daphne, Pansy and Astoria volunteered to take the Lucius couple for a walk outside the castle to see Durmstrang's ghost ship and Beauxbaton's luxurious carriage.
Xie Lin sat alone by the lake, quietly watching the sparkling water.
He didn't know how he should feel now.
Too much strength made him lose his anticipation for this game.
According to the description in the original book, the levels Harry encountered along the way included a Hagrid's snail, a Boggart, the golden mist that turned the world upside down, a sphinx, and a giant eight-eyed spider.That's it?
The original book is described from the perspective of Harry, and Harry was able to reach the finish line without any danger because of the help of Mad-Eye Moody.But even so, this competition was designed at the highest level that standard seventh-year elite students could display. The content of the competition had been finalized by the Department of International Cooperation and Sports of the Ministry of Magic long before the start of school. Even if the competitor's strength was upgraded due to the butterfly effect brought about by Schelling, it would not affect the content of the competition.
That is to say, this competition is aimed at the level of Cedric Diggory, Viktor Krum, and Fleur Delacour in the original book.
And these three people, even if they are tied together now, it's not enough for the current Xie Lin to beat him up.
In this state, how could Xie Lin feel the excitement, anticipation, and enthusiasm of other warriors... He sighed softly, he just wanted to end all this quickly, and then welcome Voldemort's return...
Voldemort, Voldemort, I hope you don't disappoint me too much.
Time passed slowly, and then the sun set, and the light from the sun turned an intoxicating orange.
When it was time for dinner, everyone gathered in the auditorium.
The dinner was richer than usual, and many students had a big appetite at this time, enjoying the dinner with great gusto.Ludo Bagman and Cornelius Fudge sat down at the staff table.Bagman looked very happy, but Cornelius Fudge, who was sitting next to Ms. Maxim, was sullen and said nothing.
Schelling smiled. On the surface, Fudge and Dumbledore have a very harmonious relationship, making it easy for people to have the illusion that they are in the same camp, but in fact, his and Dumbledore's fundamental ideas are completely different. He discriminates against Muggles and Muggle wizards in his heart, but he doesn't show it easily. But for half-blood giants, vampires, werewolves and other notorious aliens, his dislike and dislike will be clearly written on his face.
When the enchanted ceiling turned from blue to dark purple twilight, Dumbledore stood up at the staff table, and the crowd fell silent.
"Ladies and gentlemen, in five minutes, I'm going to invite everyone to the Quidditch pitch for the final event of the Triwizard Tournament. Now, the warriors and Mr. Bagman are invited to the stadium." He squeezed Looking at his long silver-white beard, he said in a thick voice.
The warriors stood up and left the table together, and all the students applauded for them.
This was the final decisive battle. As the competition progressed, the performance of the four warriors also successfully conquered the hearts of the Hogwarts students. They did not hesitate to applaud each warrior for their efforts, courage, and strength.
Astoria crossed his hands in front of his chest, and tightened his fingers tightly, "Brother Xie Lin, you must win!"
Daphne smiled and said, "I won't say anything extra, everyone will be waiting for you at the celebration tonight."
Xie Lin smiled and nodded, turned around abruptly, and following the strides under his feet, the Yexing cloak hanging on his shoulders was lifted high by the wind he brought up, curling up in a sharp arc, leaving a heroic figure in everyone's eyes.
