Chapter Seventy-Three: Prelude to the Game (7)
Little Huijin District, No. 4 Nuzhen Road. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Penny Dursley looked at the invitation in front of her in a daze...... This was not a simple invitation, in fact, if it were not for the exceptional circumstances, this special invitation, which was only four in the world, would not have been possible in the Muggle world......
At the same time as the invitation, there were two other letters. One was from Hogwarts, and the other was the same as the one from almost a year ago.
When Vernon Dursley came out of his bedroom, he saw that this was the case, and there was no sign of the breakfast that should have been on the table, replaced by a few pieces of paper spread out in front of Penny......
Penny only came to her senses when she heard Vernon's cough, hurriedly rolled up a few pieces of paper, and scrambled to handle breakfast.
The Dursleys didn't eat a good meal, either the bread slices were baked, or the fried eggs forgot to put salt...... It's just that seeing Penny in a trance, no one picks on her......
It's just that after eating, Vernon still hesitated for a while and said, "Go if you want." Then I hurried to work.
And Penny, after seeing Vernon away, collapsed on the couch, staring blankly at the parchment she had seen so many times, muttering "Magic?"

The third event was held in the evening, but the contestants were asked to assemble in the reception room after breakfast.
As for the reason, the student's statement is to meet with his family and use the family's cordial relationship to link the psychological pressure of the contestants. As for whether it will give the contestants and their families a chance to see each other one last time, it is unknown, after all, this project is a reserved project that has been passed down from many years ago.
After breakfast, the little wizards left the table one after another and went to their respective examination rooms, another day of exams was waiting for them, but a bright future was waiting for them, this was the last day of exams.
Holly was the first to walk into the reception room, after all, her guest was a bit special.
When Holly walked into the reception room, it was obvious that Penny was out of place with her surroundings, but it was just a routine habit that made her not ignore the other people around her.
At the very least, on the side of the Delacours and Krum's parents, Holly still needs to deal with it, and as for the Weasleys on the other side, just ignore them, not many wizard nobles are willing to have anything to do with them themselves.
"Mrs. Dursley?" Holly said as she approached Penny, only to notice that she didn't realize her approach.
"Hmm, Miss Peverell?" replied Penny, not in a loud voice, but the surname Peverell still caught Mr.'s attention.
"Or call me Holly, maybe I should call you Aunt Penny like someone does?"
"Huh, are you really ......?"
"That's right. ”
"Then why don't you ......?"
"I'm not like him. Holly shook his head, "It's good that you know, as for him, he doesn't know that my existence is the safest." ”
"Okay. Penny sensed Holly's depressed mood when she said the next sentence, "In that case, you might as well just call me Penny." ”
"Huh?" said Holly, surprised.
"Nothing, since you don't want this relationship to be exposed, what else can you call me?"
"Okay...... Pendant... Maid. Holly agreed a little reluctantly.
"Okay, why don't you show me around Hogwarts? and Severus Snape should still be there, right? and Dumbledore. Penny adjusted the subject, as if she had changed from being a different person in the Muggle world.
"Yes, but ...... I think before that, there's one more person who might be worth a look. As they spoke, Victor Krum and Fleur Delacour also walked in from outside, their expressions equally surprised when they saw their parents. "But...... I think we'd better find a place to sit and wait a while. ”
Fleur didn't pay much attention to her father, instead, she and her mother chatted quickly in French, while holding her sister's hand and restraining Gabrie, who was looking around, so that she wouldn't find it anywhere.
Holly found a spot for Penny with her back to the door, conjured up a few snacks and drinks, and went back to her social work, this time targeting Mr. Delacour......
Mr. Delacour did not seem to care about being forgotten by his wife and daughter, and it seemed that he was used to it, but ......
I thought there would be nothing to do with myself, but Mr. Delacour was still approached. It was a girl, who looked much younger than her eldest daughter, and through the letters that her eldest daughter had written home, Mr. Delacour was still able to recognize that this was the girl that her daughter had said in her heart that she couldn't see through at all, and it was even said that she could shoot two adult wizards by herself......
Mr. Delacour doesn't believe much in the fact that an underage wizard shoots two adult wizards away, but it is a perennial habit that he does not say much when facing his wife and daughter, and silence is not all a bad thing, and it can also allow him to better protect himself in many cases.
"Mr. Delacour?"
"Huh, Miss Parker?"
"Well, that's right......" Holly nodded, satisfied that Mr. Delacour was able to call out his name more "correctly".
"What's the matter?" Mr. Delacour didn't get the following from Holly, but he didn't want the two of them to remain silent, and the longer he stood with a person of the opposite sex, the more miserable it might be for him to be at night......
"I heard you have something to do with the French Ministry of Magic?"
"Sort of......" Mr. Delacour replied uncertainly.
"That's good......" Holly nodded in satisfaction, didn't say anything, and turned to leave.
Mr. Delacour, who was standing in place, was a little confused, but it didn't take long for him to feel a cold breath coming from behind him.
"She and I really didn't say anything. Mr. Delacour stiffened and turned, in defence and excused.
Only this time, he had to face only his wife, and as for the eldest daughter who stood on the same front with his wife in the past, he didn't react, just stared at the direction where the girl left just now, not knowing what he was thinking.
