Chapter 182 Guests

The banquet starts in the evening, but guests will arrive one after another in the afternoon.

Therefore, the entire banquet decoration must be done in the morning.

For example, the formal clothes worn by Harry and the Dursleys were all custom-made by the signature tailor of Fengya Wizard Clothing Store in the morning.

If you wear ready-made clothes on such an occasion, you will be laughed at.

Dobby was a very capable house elf, but letting him handle the entire party by himself as a house elf was really asking too much of him.

As a last resort, Sirius pulled Remus Lupin over.

Fortunately, Lupine was a bachelor and had saved a lot of annual leave, otherwise Sirius would not have anyone who could help him today.

But even so, there are only three people in the entire manor who can work.

We can't let Harry, a child, and the Dursleys be busy, right?

In the end, our ancestors solved this problem.

Phineas Black was once the headmaster of Hogwarts. He knew that during this time of year, the house elves at Hogwarts were very idle.

So he went to the picture frame in the principal's office at Hogwarts, found Dumbledore, and borrowed the house elves, treating them as Sirius's substitute salary for the past period of time.

"Here, there needs to be a fountain here."

"Don't use these tableware. There are antique tableware at Blake's old house."

"Don't use real flowers. Some customers are allergic to pollen."

Dobby was instructing the house elves at Hogwarts to set up the venue.

The Malfoy family holds many banquets, so Dobby is familiar with the process, and it is perfect for him to direct it.

Lupine is communicating with the band 'Weird Sisters'. As a popular band in the wizarding world, their performance will definitely be very popular.

The first guests to arrive are those from the Muggle world.

Under the leadership of the waiter, Sirius and Harry, as hosts, welcomed the four Muggle guests.

The princess, two princes, and an important official from No. 10 Downing Street, who called himself Humphrey, was the liaison between the Ministry of Magic and the Prime Minister.

"My second son is very curious about the magical world and has been clamoring to come over early."

The dignified and gentle princess said.

The eldest prince follows his mother. He was raised as a king since he was a child and has impeccable etiquette. Although he is only an eleven-year-old child, he looks much more stable than his peers.

His right hand is holding his nine-year-old brother. The younger second prince is obviously very curious about the magical world and is looking around.

Although the Muggle guests arrived early, due to social etiquette, they were actually not that early. Immediately after them, guests arrived.

The visitors were a family of three. The father and son both had platinum blond hair, while the lady had long blond hair and pale skin.

Compared with the father and son, the lady's dress and demeanor are not exactly that of a guest, which means that this lady also comes from the Black family, and this is her home, and she is considered half the owner today.

After several people came closer, the princess noticed the coat of arms on this family.

Heraldry is a compulsory course for nobles. As a member of the royal family, the princess is very knowledgeable about heraldry.

The coat of arms of this family is black, green and silver, with a snake-shaped pattern.

The silver ribbon is engraved with the Latin word "Sanctimonia Vincet Semper", which means "pure and eternal victory".

This coat of arms has been included by the royal family, and they are still a member of the nobility.

Commissioner Humphrey next to him obviously also knew the history of this family, so he leaned next to the princess and whispered,

"This is the Malfoy family, a wizarding family that once served William the Conqueror.

Their family still holds a fiefdom in Wiltshire, but due to the implementation of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy, they have retreated into the background.

However, their titles are still retained and they are hereditary earls. "

Lucius Malfoy obviously didn't know anything about the Muggle world. As an earl, he took the initiative to come over to meet the princess.

However, he seemed a little embarrassed when introducing his name.

Calling himself Lucius Malfoy II,

Lucius Malfoy I, the Malfoy ancestor who lived in the sixteenth century, once pursued the then Queen Elizabeth I, but failed.

Some irresponsible wizards and unofficial historians claimed that Lucius I cursed the queen because of his failed courtship, which caused the queen to remain unmarried for the rest of her life.

At Lucius's signal, Draco took the initiative to make friends with the two princes and introduced them to life at Hogwarts and some strange things about the wizarding world.

"Decades ago, a big devil appeared in the wizarding world. He tried to conquer the wizarding world and even the world with his own power. In fact, his strength was enough for him to do so.

But in the end he was defeated ten years ago, and it starts with a baby who survived the catastrophe..."

......

Draco took the opportunity to tell the two princes stories about Voldemort.

Under his exaggeration, the two little princes living in the Muggle world also learned about the horror of Voldemort.

It wasn't until the end of the story that Draco said the name of the savior.

"He is, Harry Potter."

The steady prince's face turned red with excitement! The second prince even shouted excitedly.

They are here to attend Harry Potter's birthday party today!

Unexpectedly, Harry Potter turned out to be the savior of the wizarding world! He actually has such a legendary experience!

Although the two princes wanted to see again the protagonist of the legendary story who greeted the guests at the door,

But as an adult and guardian, the princess also heard about Harry’s tragedy from this story.

Both his parents died at the hands of Voldemort. On such a happy day, there was no need to poke people's sore spots.

The two princes who were stopped by their mother suppressed their emotions and continued to listen to Draco telling some magical wizard stories.

He is interested in the stairs that can move on their own, the fire dragon that can fish in the lake, the portraits that can talk, and everything in the wizarding world.

The sound of "clattering" came from the door, interrupting Draco's story.

A large group of wizards came in,

It wasn't the sound they made intentionally. There were just too many wizards who came in together.

The princess understands this situation very well;

It was obvious that the guests from the several houses standing on the periphery were all waiting for the guests from the middle house, and then they came in together.

She has received such treatment in the past, which shows that the family in the middle has a high status.

Lucius Malfoy's actions also confirmed this. He stood up from his seat and hugged the middle-aged man warmly to show his closeness.

Draco also smiled towards that side and shook his arms, and Ron, who came in with his family, also saw Draco,

So I talked to Ms. Molly and came over.

"Who is that?"

The second prince asked Draco next to him. He had a good impression of this family who also had red hair.

"This is the Weasley family. Here is my good friend Ron Weasley. I will introduce him to you later."

Draco said.
