Chapter 516 Dinner

Hermione is wearing a simple and elegant blood-red dress robe today, her hair is loosely pulled into a bun behind her head as she did at the Christmas ball back then, and she wears the same simple but charming hair inlaid with small pieces of elf white gemstones. The clip is fixed, and at the same time, the white and delicate neck is rarely exposed, which looks very temperamental.

I finally know a benefit of improving my strength. Hermione said when the two went upstairs, I didn't like this kind of gathering before, because in this kind of occasion, in order not to be rude in front of a group of people, there must be A perfect haircut. My hair is tricky though, last time I was at an event like this it took a lot of hair smoothing potions to get it right. But now, I just let the magic run through my hair a little bit.

Ryan felt a little speechless after hearing this. This is the power that can make people become gods. It is really overkill to use it on smooth hair.

When the two of them walked to the corridor at the door of Slughorn's office, they happened to see Harry holding Ginny on his arm and being welcomed in by Professor Slughorn. Thinking that the professor might be busy entertaining Harry at this time, Hermione took Ryan's outstretched arm up the marble steps and walked into Slughorn's office after a minute or so.

Slughorn's office looks much larger than the outside. It is estimated that this is the traceless stretching spell he temporarily released for tonight's party, but even if all these are only temporary measures, the office decoration is still very careful: the ceiling and The walls were hung with emerald, crimson, and gold hangings, making it look like a large tent. In the center of the ceiling hung a golden lantern, illuminating everything in the room bright red. There are also real elves flashing in the lamp, and each elf is a bright spot of light.

Welcome, welcome. Slughorn approached, wearing a velvet hat with poppies that matched his smoking shirt, looking at Harry's position and the smoking camera, he should be Gangha Li took a group photo to mark the end.

Professor Slughorn, good evening. Ryan and Hermione offered to say hello.

I welcome you very much, Mr. Liang and Ms. Granger. I wish you a good time tonight, I will leave first, because there are many guests who need me to entertain today. After speaking, he bid farewell to Ryan and the others to pull Harry was introduced to the guests.

I have to say that although Slughorn is a bit more utilitarian, he has a high rating in interpersonal communication. For example, he pays great attention to details and can make a good impression on everyone he hopes to make friends with. Just like the pronunciation of Ryan's surname, he rarely pronounces it accurately, and most of the others pronounce it close to cold.

In fact, Slughorn's attitude was also what Ryan and the others hoped for. After they came to a corner and each took a glass of juice, they began to look at the entire party scene.

As Slughorn said, there are indeed a lot of people here today: there is a loud singing that sounds like it is accompanied by a mandolin from a far corner; There was a blue mist of pipes; some house-elfs carried heavy silver trays through the forest of the calf, covering themselves with large tablecloths in order to ensure that they were not seen by wizards when they served. , looks like a little table for roaming.

It's too bad. Harry has been occupied by Professor Slughorn. I waited for a long time and the professor refused to let go. Just after Ryan stood at the table and drank half a glass of juice, Ginny squeezed out from the crowd . Then she took a glass of juice from the table and sipped it, complaining to Hermione.

Your sweetheart is Professor Slughorn's most important and shining guest at the party tonight. Hermione imitated the tone of the elves in the world of Lord of the Rings and chanted, and then laughed with Ginny.

Ryan looked at this scene with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and suddenly he felt a bunch of unfriendly eyes falling on the two girls.

Hermione naturally discovered this at this time, she naturally put her right hand on her left wrist, and seemed ready to take out the weapon from the space of the bracelet worn on her wrist at any time.

When the two followed their gazes, they found that the one looking at Hermione and Ginny was a tall and thin young man with dark circles under his eyes, looking bored. But now the young man looked at the two girls with a hungry look.

A vampire? Ryan took a step forward to block the sight of the vampire looking at the girls and glared at him. After all, it was at Professor Slughorn's party, so out of respect for the host of the party, Ryan felt that Just warn this impolite guy to stay away.

But unexpectedly, the vampire screamed as if he saw something terrible after meeting Ryan's eyes, and then knocked away several people, tables, chairs and benches and ran directly outside the office. Standing beside him, a small man wearing glasses who was chatting with Harry was stunned for a moment, and then shouted, Kenni, what are you doing?

But his yelling had no effect at all. The vampire had already run out the door, turned a corner, and disappeared. The little man hurriedly apologized to those around him, and then rushed out to find his fellow vampire. In this way, Harry finally breathed a sigh of relief. After looking around, he walked over like Ryan and the others.

What happened just now? Ginny approached Harry and asked in a low voice after passing Harry a drink.

I don't know either. Harry was also at a loss, Slughorn introduced those two people to me, and the little one with glasses is the author of Blood Brothers: I Live Among Vampires De Walpole, and the other one is his vampire friend Bloody. Walpole was trying to persuade me to write a biography of mine just now, and something happened when I was trying to get rid of him.

While Harry was telling all this, Walpole also found Bloody who had escaped just now in the corridor outside. To his surprise, when he found Luni, the vampire was hiding himself behind a statue and shivering with his head in his hands. After being slapped by himself, the vampire jumped up like a spring.

It's you, you scared me to death. Xue Ni wanted to escape again, but he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the face of the person coming. Then the whole person collapsed and leaned against the statue and began to pant heavily.

What were you doing just now? Walpole said angrily. We could have made friends with many important people today, but you messed up everything! Why did you run away just now?

It's terrible! Bloody said to Walpole later, with a look of shock. You know, as a vampire, I am more sensitive than ordinary wizards. Just now, I saw at least a dozen vampire lives in his hands from the eyes of a young boy, and many of them were stronger than me. I I was terrified for a moment, which is why I lost control just now.

At least a dozen? There shouldn't be such a large-scale death of vampires in the past few years, right? Wait, could it be Romania two years ago... Walpole widened his eyes and thought of a terrible fact. Anyway, we need to call Professor Slughorn to say hello before we leave. But you have to remember that you have to keep this matter in your heart, and you are not allowed to tell anyone. Because since he chose to let this If this matter becomes an unsolved case, then I am sure such a person would not mind killing a poor author and his vampire friends in order to protect their own secrecy.

I definitely won't say it. As a blood clan, I understand the power of people who can do such things as extermination. You might as well give me a forgetting curse now. Xue Ni said sincerely.

Let's talk about it after we say goodbye to the professor. I think I will also need to give myself an oblivion charm. Walpole shrugged and said.
