Chapter 226 Undercurrent and Lively Greengrass Manor

Normally, there aren't many magical animals in the valley of Greengrass Manor. The most common things here are ordinary birds, hares, and maybe a few cauliflower snakes.

But today, in order to welcome Christmas, Mr. Henry ordered a batch of fluorescent deer, fairies, small gold bugs and white peacocks from somewhere, and placed them in the valley to give the valley a more Christmas atmosphere.

Looking at the bustling valley, Les nodded: Mr. Henry did a pretty good job with the details!

"Speaking of which, you don't really seem to have many magical animals here?" Les heard footsteps coming from behind him. He didn't need to look back to know that these must be Daphne and Astoria. Mr. and Mrs. Henry were now outside the main house. Decorating the manor and preparing to receive guests will not appear here at all.

Sure enough, Daphne's voice rang out: "There are still quite a few bowtruckles, sniffers, Flobber caterpillars, and maybe goblins?"

"No way, Doudou will definitely not allow goblins to appear in the house." Astoria's voice also appeared.

Doudou is the house elf of the Greengrass family and is currently supervising the chefs in the kitchen.

"I'm talking about large magical animals, such as unicorns, thestrals, griffins, etc." Les turned around, and two figures, one silver and one green, came into view.

Today is an extremely important occasion, and Daphne and Astoria must take it seriously, so the two sisters also put on brand new gowns. Their robes are of the same style, but in different colors. Les also noticed that both of them had put on high heels with bow ribbons hanging from the heels, making them look a bit taller and slender.

It can be seen that they have dressed up carefully. The same goes for Les. He put on a green dress robe that he had prepared before. The sleeves were silver. There were not too many decorations on the robe and it looked very simple, but when worn on him, it matched his temperament quite well.

Before the guests arrived, various branches of the Greengrass family began to arrive.

Les stood by the window and watched the Henrys welcome groups of colorful wizards into the mansion. Daphne stood beside him and whispered to him the origins of these people.

"That's my aunt's family. They moved to France a few years ago. She looks like a tomboy, but she's actually a nice person. She got married twice and gave birth to one child each, who is my cousin. , are all interesting people.”

"That old woman is my great-aunt. She is a very annoying person. Do not reveal any gossip to her!"

"This... I can't remember clearly. It seems to be a relative of my mother - oh, it's my distant cousin who lives in Switzerland. His father and my grandmother are brothers and sisters. His father is not an ordinary person. He followed me when he was young. After passing Grindelwald, he is still wearing a necklace with Grindelwald's mark around his neck, which is not pleasing."

Daphne quickly reported the identity and characteristics of each group of guests - those complicated and difficult-to-pronounce names were the easiest things to remember. In this regard, she displayed an amazing memory.

Les glanced at Daphne in surprise: This girl has such a good memory? It looks like I can give her more responsibilities in the future...

Poor little Daphne didn't know that she was clearly arranged in this way.

Noisy sounds gradually came from downstairs. Apparently, relatives from all walks of life had entered the Greengrass mansion.

Daphne glanced at Astoria and motioned for her to quickly lock Les's bedroom door.

"I'm too lazy to meet those guys. I have to put on a sullen face every time, make a fake smile, say things that I don't mean, and then watch them do the same thing. It's so annoying to me -" Daphne complained endlessly, Les looked at her with a smile: This child is a qualified heir to the family.

And I seemed to have heard her remarks somewhere, oh, it was Adrian...

[Teacher, it’s so annoying to receive those aristocratic guests and relatives. They are not good things. They are smiling faces towards you and carrying knives behind your back. I really don’t want to deal with those guys anymore! No matter how beautiful the countesses and baronesses they brought were, they would not go, it was too tiring! 】

In his memory, the girl in front of him and the high-spirited young man gradually overlapped.

The two of them look so alike...wait, no! It’s just that the attitude towards social interaction is a bit similar! ! !

Les was shocked by himself: What kind of thing is Adrian, is he worthy of being compared with Daphne? These two people are not alike! Retreat, retreat, retreat! He pulled the young man's figure out of the image of Daphne in his mind, rolled it into a ball, and threw it out.

Adrian is Adrian, Daphne is Daphne, they have nothing in common except their last name is Greengrass, yes!

Les firmly believed: One student like Adrian is enough!

As night falls, guests begin to show up one after another.

The first to arrive were the Weasley family and Potter. The Weasley family was really prosperous, and the valley was even dyed red the moment they appeared. Looking from a high place, it even seemed like a flame was burning in the valley.

Appearing behind the Weasley family was a middle-aged man with meticulously ironed clothes and a mustache that looked like it had been trimmed with a slide rule. He started talking to Mr. Henry as soon as he appeared. But from the looks of it, the two of them were not chatting about everyday matters, but dealing with official business.

After the workaholic, people from pure-blood families such as Malfoy, Flint, and Ollivander also began to appear one after another. In the end, even Minister of Magic Fudge appeared.

Greengrass Manor became completely lively.

There was a popping sound in the air, and the house elf Doudou appeared in the bedroom.

"Miss Daphne, Miss Astoria, it's time for you two to go out. The guests outside want to see you!" She bowed to the three of them first, and then reminded the Greengrass sisters in a sharp voice, Now I really shouldn't hide here anymore. It would be a bit rude if I didn't go and greet the guests.

Daphne wanted to ask if Astoria could handle it, but she swallowed the words as soon as she came to her lips - thinking about it, she knew that it was completely impossible.

She could only sigh and left the room with her sister.

As for Les, a transparent guy like him can stay here until the dinner starts.

Meanwhile, another corner of the earth is as lively as Greengrass Manor...

In the warm banquet hall, dozens of men and women gathered together to enjoy the Christmas dinner slowly with the sound of music.

"Speaking of which, has the operation started over there?" A voice sounded.

"Of course, Gemini, Pisces, Aries, and Taurus are probably in Azkaban by now." Another voice replied.
