Chapter 154: Christmas Dinner (Part 1)
Eventually, Alan determined that only one egg had a living force, and that the others were indeed just imitation toys!
Despite this, Alan still felt that the trip was worthwhile, and carefully stroked the dragon egg.
"Maybe you can talk to Hagrid when you go back, after all, he has a successful experience in hatching and raising. ”
At the same time that Eren was overjoyed, in an ornate room on Wizard Street, a masked black-robed witch was punishing a skinny male wizard with an unforgivable spell.
"It's the same as Henry's stupid one!!" The female voice was slanky even when she was angry.
"Ma'am, the Aurors in Congress are chasing after me too closely! I was forced to insert the dragon eggs into the pile of artificial dragon eggs at the Thad pet shop. I had thought that when I got rid of the Aurors, I would go and get it back, and who knew that someone had bought it!" The skinny wizard explained weakly in pain.
"Unexpected!" the mysterious witch was amused, "pet stores, naturally, there are buy and sell! brainless fools!"
"Go and find out who bought those dragon eggs!, otherwise, pay with your life!" the witch's tone was very resolute, and the witch could not be questioned.
The hour hand pointed to a quarter past seven, and the five Alan were all dressed up and ready to go to the Magic Congress for the Christmas dinner.
The robe on Allen's body looks extremely elegant, and with the polite teenager, it looks particularly eye-catching.
As Eren walked, the robe seemed to have a flow of brilliance, and at a glance it was very expensive, extraordinary.
A group of five apparitions moved to the front of the Woolworth Building, a skyscraper lit up with brilliant lights.
The five of them walked to the side door that led to the Magical Congress, and Leonard showed the invitation to the uniformed guards and entered the hall of the Parliament.
The Hall of Congress, which was already very tall and magnificent, was newly decorated and brilliant, and looked particularly elegant and luxurious.
Wizards and witches in their ornate dresses walked gracefully through the hall, talking in whispers.
Alan looked up, and the pointer pointed to the medium threat on the large turntable that showed the level of magic exposure.
Maybe the previous hunt didn't wipe out Henry's gangsters, and there were still some fish that slipped through the net!
"Ha, Mr. Knox, I'm so glad for you! I'll be calling you the director of the Aurors soon, right?" A slick voice rang out abruptly, and it turned out to be the "Mediterranean" of the Wand Licensing Office, Mr. Abernethy!
"Merry Christmas, Abernethy. To Allen's surprise, Leonard actually talked to Abernetsey with a smile on his face.
There are many more wizards like Abernhness, and they all want to talk to Leonard Knox, the current celebrity of Congress.
Until a paper mouse slipped in front of Leonard and floated into his hand.
Leonard opened the paper mouse and politely said goodbye to the others, "I'm sorry to leave beforehand." The wizards got out of the way and let him go.
Leonard called the four of them and went to Chairman Piquelly's office together.
It is an oval office with a giant symbol of the Magical Congress of the United States embroidered in the center of the carpet, with sun-like radiant lines around the logo.
The dark brown wood tables and chairs are carved with various ornate patterns. On the periphery of the pattern, there are sofas that look extremely soft and comfortable.
Alan thought of the cramped, stuffy environment of the wand-licensed office, and couldn't help but sigh that it was not unreasonable for Abernhness to grovel and seek power.
A wizard of extraordinary bearing suddenly appeared behind the table. The eagle's piercing eyes are intimidating. He was none other than William Piquelli, the president of the Magical Congress of America.
"Welcome!" the powerful wizard stood up and welcomed.
"I listened to Leonard's debriefing and thank you very much for your efforts and contributions. Especially this Mr. Alan Harris from England, you not only captured Henry, but also saved the important magical creature Thunderbird! ”
After listening to Leonard's report, Chairman Piquelli already admired Allen very much, and after seeing Allen himself, he felt that this young man had an extraordinary demeanor and outstanding temperament.
Next, he praised Jessica and Ian a few more times, and exchanged pleasantries with Leonard and Professor Flitwick for a while before explaining the purpose of calling the five people up.
Although Henry Jones has been punished, his accomplices have not yet been fully caught. If it is known to the outside world that they were arrested due to a few of you, they will definitely take revenge on you. So after deliberation at the top of the Congress, we decided to hold a small award ceremony for a few of us here. ”
Chairman Piquelli waved his hand, and four dark red velvet boxes appeared on the wooden table behind him.
"Leonard is a clerk of our Congress, and your reward will be announced at the General Assembly. Perhaps, we are about to have a new Auror Director. The stern Piquelli laughed very kindly.
Next, Piquelli personally handed over the velvet box with his name written on it to the four Allens.
"I hope you'll be happy with the rewards in the box. Merry Christmas!"
As Piqueli's words fell, Alan knew it was time for them to take their leave.
Sure enough, Leonard left Piquelli's office with a few people saluting and thanking him.
"I'll send these gifts home first, and I'll be back soon. Leonard felt that it was inconvenient to bring four large boxes like this to the Christmas dinner.
Everyone thought it was a good idea, and although they were curious about what was in the box, it was not easy to take it apart and look at it in front of everyone's eyes.
Back in the hall of Congress, Alan picked out some mouthful food at the buffet table, then found a secluded corner and sat down to enjoy the food.
In a way, this is also a state banquet!
The arrival of Chairman Piquelli made the audience stunned. He gave a number of calming and morale-boosting speeches, and then the dinner officially began.
Alan found the dinner to be far less lively and fun than the Halloween dinner at Hogwarts.
These politicians weave through the crowd with hypocritical smirks, and all kinds of conversations reveal utilitarianism, which is really unpleasant.
Jessica obviously didn't like such a serious occasion either, and she thought there would be a big ball!
Finally filling his stomach, Alan was bored.
Everyone got together, and they all found it boring. Ian was the first to offer to go back, and received an enthusiastic response from everyone.
After all, there are still four mysterious boxes waiting to be opened at home!
