Chapter 535 Christmas Ball

Chapter 535 Christmas Ball
The morning after Christmas, Eleanor returned to Germany, and Yingyue also said goodbye to Xie Lin. She was going to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries for a two-week internship. After the internship, she would return to school on her own.

With nothing to do, Xie Lin originally planned to stay at home with his family, but he received a message from Sharfu asking him to come to Ella's cottage in the evening.

Xie Ling thought about it and decided that it was a good idea. He hadn't seen his maids for a while. While checking on their situation, he could also check for any latest information.

In the morning, he played wizard chess and bowls with Draco for a while (Pansy also went home to spend Christmas with her family), and in the afternoon he accompanied Narcissa to Diagon Alley for shopping (like the Muggle world, wizards also have big sales on gift-opening day after Christmas).

Although it was a bit boring, Xie Ling cherished the time with his family very much.

The war is coming, and even he cannot guarantee that he can survive it.

You know, he set his ambition in the second grade - to change the fate of his family and lead the family to glory, but at that time, the enemies he envisioned were only Voldemort and his Death Eaters.

The current situation is that the enemies he has to face have far exceeded his original imagination, but he does not regret it. In order to protect the people around him, he has already plunged into the darkness.

……

At night, the sky is dotted with stars and the silver moonlight shines on the white snow, giving the Ella Cottage hidden deep in the forest a hazy and mysterious hue.

As soon as Xie Ling stepped into the house, he heard soft bells and music. He saw five maids who had already changed into sexy Christmas costumes specially made for the holiday, standing in a row in the middle of the carefully decorated dance floor, with a gorgeously decorated Christmas tree behind them, which was hung with sparkling magic lights and ribbons, shining brightly.

"Welcome back, Master."

Latifa was wearing a short white skirt with rabbit fur dotted on the hem and stockings against her slender legs, like a Christmas elf in the snow. With a perfect and impeccable sweet smile on her face and a glass of warm red wine in her hand, she walked forward slowly, bowed slightly, and said softly: "Master, tonight is the Christmas ball we specially prepared for you, please enjoy it."

The four maids, Sharf, Savannah, Katharine and Natalie, had already dressed up carefully and wore sexy Santa Claus costumes.

The red velvet skirts fit their curves tightly, the low-cut design reveals delicate collarbones, the off-shoulder design shows soft shoulder lines, and the skirts are boldly cut above the thighs, and their slender legs are faintly visible under the lights. They stood in the middle of the hall with surprised smiles on their faces, and their skirts swayed gently, which made them look very playful, yet charming.

Sharfu gently touched her seductive red lips with her fingers, blew a kiss to Xie Ling with a teasing look in her eyes, and chuckled, "Master, we have carefully prepared for a long time to give you a surprise!"

Savannah was as calm as ever, standing nearby with a hint of reserve. Although her face didn't show much expression, she couldn't hide the warmth and anticipation in her eyes. Her silver-white hair swayed gently, reflecting a gentle glow, like moonlight.

Katalin's red hair looked like a burning flame under the candlelight, and her fair skin glowed with a warm luster under the weak candlelight. Compared with Sharfu's charm and Savannah's calmness, the smile on her face had a hint of inexplicable temperament. She lowered her head slightly, not daring to look directly at Sherin.

She used to be such a proud woman, but now in order to complete her revenge, she had to put aside all her pride and please the man in front of her, which made her struggle constantly. Sherin smiled and said softly: "Katalin, I said, you don't have to force yourself--"

Katarin suddenly raised her head, as if she had made a decision. Her eyelashes trembled slightly. She looked directly at Xie Ling and said with complicated eyes: "Master... please let me serve you tonight." After saying this, she breathed a sigh of relief, but a strange feeling spread in her heart, as if she had finally been completely freed from the past.

Natalie, who had been standing in the corner, mustered up the courage to come out. Her wine-red eyes flickered slightly in the candlelight. She pinched the hem of her skirt nervously and bit her lip lightly. Her voice was soft but firm: "Natalie greets the master... I hope the master has a good time tonight..."

Xie Lin took the wine glass, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, admiring the girls' appearance, but his eyes slowly moved to the sofa, where two plump and slender figures stood upright - unexpectedly, even Yemao and Qianmei were here.

The dance has begun.

Latifa sat on the concert stage and played a small golden harp, while the mermaid and nymph statues behind her sang melodious songs.

Sharf, Savannah, Katharine and Natalie stood in a row and danced in unison to the lively festival music. Their movements had the charm of Arabic dance, their waists twisted softly, their hips swayed with the rhythm, sexy yet elegant. Their red clothes fluttered as they danced, and their graceful figures blossomed under Sherin's gaze.

Yemao and Qianmei were kneeling in front of Xie Lin, holding a delicate red wine glass and a plate of fresh fruit in their hands, respectful and focused. Xie Lin patted the seat on the sofa and said in a gentle tone: "Tonight is Christmas, there is no need to be so reserved. Sit next to me and enjoy the show together."

The two maids heard this, their eyes flashed with joy, and they stood up obediently and snuggled up to Xie Ling. In the hall, dance and intimacy intertwined into a fragrant and warm picture. Xie Ling tasted the wine while watching the dance, with a satisfied smile on his lips. He couldn't help but sigh again in his heart - this is probably the happy life of the ancient feudal slave owners. He has struggled for so long to protect the family's honor, so it's not too much to indulge himself for one night, right?
……

The next morning, Xie Ling woke up from a hangover. His dizzy head made him feel very uncomfortable. Latifa was already standing beside his bed, handing him a glass of hangover medicine. Xie Ling impatiently drank it in one gulp, exhaled a long breath, and leaned back weakly in Latifa's soft arms, who also obediently massaged Xie Ling's temples with her fingers.

Xie Lin still closed his eyes, enjoying the pleasure coming from Latifa's fingers. He said in a hoarse voice: "Where are they?"

"Master, Night Owl went back last night. Savannah and Katalin are preparing breakfast, Sharf is feeding the magical creatures in the suitcase space, and Natalie is still sleeping!"

Xie Ling's mouth curled up slightly, but when he thought about how these women were still so energetic after a night of partying last night, he couldn't help but be amazed.

"Where is Qian Mei? Why didn't you mention her?" Xie Lin asked curiously.

"Originally, Miss Qian Mei should have left this morning, but she said she had important information to report to you, so she asked me to wait for you to wake up and then ask you to meet her immediately."

"Okay, I'll come right over, help me change my clothes."

When Sherin walked downstairs, everything in the hall had been cleaned up, and there was no trace of the Christmas ball last night. Nymphadora had already changed into an Auror uniform, her purple hair was tied up high into a ponytail, and she had regained her heroic appearance.

As Nymphadora's power grew, her position in the Order of the Phoenix and the Ministry of Magic became increasingly important, giving her access to many secrets that she had not been able to access before. Seeing Sherin appear, she knelt on one knee, raised her head, and respectfully reported to Sherin all the intelligence the Order of the Phoenix had about Egypt.

Only then did Schelling realize that Anubis's forces had long since defected to Walpurgis and became the latter's minions. This attack on the Alchemy Conference was also carried out on the orders of Walpurgis, in an attempt to get their hands on the latest research results of alchemists around the world.

According to information held by the Order of the Phoenix, Anubis is older than Newt Scamander and has been in charge of Cairo's underground black market for many years. He specializes in the smuggling of regulated magical animals. His power is so great that the Egyptian Ministry of Magic has been helpless against him for many years.

He himself was number one on the Egyptian Ministry of Magic's most wanted criminal list, and his methods were so bloody and cruel that all wizards from African backgrounds were terrified.

Although his forces suffered heavy losses in the battle of the Alchemy Congress, his foundation was still not damaged. According to Dumbledore, he had seven deacons under his command, each of whom had the combat power of an elite Auror level. They also practiced various esoteric magics, but none of them appeared in the Alchemy Congress.

Xie Lin frowned slightly. Although he had been prepared, Walpurgis's ability was still beyond his expectation. He thought that he only had to face the Pirate King Family and the Middle East Cobra. He had obtained intelligence about the former from the pirates he captured, and the latter from Amorinu. He didn't expect that Walpurgis could recruit new forces.

Nymphadora then reported:

In the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore took the disappearance of Yusof Kama very seriously. Kama's strength and importance were far beyond the previous missing Mundungus. In order to find out what happened to Kama, Dumbledore even put aside all the affairs of Hogwarts and the Order of the Phoenix and went to Egypt to investigate in person, but in the end he found nothing.

Xie Ling sneered. He was not surprised at all. With his current magical strength, if he was prepared, not many people would be able to uncover any trace of him, not even Dumbledore.

The last piece of information -

The Order of the Phoenix has recently added a new member named Dean Waffling. Dean Waffling's father is Adelbert Waffling, the author of "Magic Theory". He comes from a famous family and was an excellent student in school. He served as the head of Gryffindor and had a bright future.

Unfortunately, during the First Wizarding War, he was targeted by Voldemort and the Death Eaters. He refused their recruitment, but was worried that his situation would implicate his Muggle wife (his wife didn't know he was a wizard) and his newborn son. In order to protect her and her son from the Death Eaters, he concealed his identity and abandoned them.

At that time, Dumbledore also promised to help him take care of the mother and son. Later, his wife was disheartened and remarried a Muggle, giving her son a Muggle surname, but in order to commemorate herself, she still gave her son the same name as herself - Dean Thomas.

Under Dumbledore's arrangement, he finally recognized his son, and Mr. Waffling also joined the Order of the Phoenix, adding a timely member to the Order of the Phoenix, which was beginning to be short of manpower. You know, the Order of the Phoenix has suffered heavy losses recently, with four things happening in succession: Mundungus' disappearance, Podmore's imprisonment, Moody's death, and Kama's disappearance. The loss of four people in one go has put the Order of the Phoenix in a predicament of being short of manpower.

It can be said that Mr. Wafflin's joining was a timely relief, which greatly alleviated the predicament of the Order of the Phoenix.
