They staggered, supporting each other along the path. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info is like a warrior who survived a tragic battle, and it snowed heavily on the road, adding to the tragedy. The people who stood on the side of the road and cast the weather spell looked back at them.

"It's like an exhibit, can you stop yourself with dignity. Rogge asked, looking down.

"It's hard for me, ah, there are so many people. "More and more people are around them, some with their children playing in the snow on the side of the road. More people hung up decorations on the side of the road or chatted with friends, and no one seemed to recognize Phoenix.

Most people look away after a few glances.

"You don't know each other?" Hermione said confusedly, "or are they just guests." ”

"There are a lot of people, how can you possibly know everyone. There are probably a few thousand people coming this Christmas, and there are some people from all over the world. "We were supposed to get together once a year, but when there were more people, the feelings faded. ”

Peverell Castle is covered in snow, and the snowflakes falling from the sky are getting smaller. Little Watson stood in the doorway, greeting them.

"Welcome to our Christmas ball, please come with me, and if you have any complaints about your room, please tell the house-elves, and they will meet your requirements. Little Watson made a gesture of please.

"You guys go get some rest, we're going to be party," Phoenix magically dried his robes, "presumably, five o'clock." Changing into his own gown and robe, he wants to invite the girl-"

"They were by the lake, listening to the mermaid concert. Little Watson answered at the right time.

"Yes, you'd better hurry, or the good girls will be gone. ”

Phoenix took Hermione first and made her way up the complicated staircase to the bedroom door.

"You go get something to eat first, and I'll go see what the evening is going to do. Phoenix ran his finger across her delicate face, "The bed is my Christmas present for you." ”

"I warn you—" Hermione, far from being happy, became wary.

"It's a serious gift, don't worry. He smiled awkwardly, though they had been happy last time, Hermione hadn't quite gotten used to it.

In the study, Eden carefully combed his feathers. Little Watson stood straight in front of the table, and Andre and Little Henry whispered something by the window.

As soon as Phoenix came in, they immediately stopped talking.

"How's it going?" asked Phoenix. He beckoned, and Eden flew over and threw himself into his arms. The chill on his body dissipated in an instant.

"Basically, I've prepared more than a hundred people, all of whom are hired according to your requirements. Little Henry began to say how they were progressing and prepared, "The Ministry of Magic is also in control, Scrimgeour won't interfere, and the Director is also paid off." ”

Andrei cleared his throat and said, "I think - maybe we should arrange an evacuation plan, after all, no plan will be 100% successful." ”

Phoenix didn't answer right away, stroking Eden's smooth feathers with his left hand.

"It's ready, don't worry. What's going on with the Order of the Phoenix?"

"In your absence, I helped the man named Stoic get out on bail, and now he is in Norway. I also informed them of some of the jobs they had been bought or infiltrated in the Ministry of Magic. But they didn't say anything. ”

"They're definitely not going to say, after all, it's only a temporary alliance. Andrei sarcastically said, "It seems that they are not really stupid. ”

"Is Sester here?" Phoenix ignored him, and instead asked about the high-ranking informant at the Ministry of Magic. Little Watson nodded.

"Good, all ready. Now I'm waiting for the fish to take the bait, and I'm not afraid to tell you. "I think it's almost impossible to succeed completely, and I think it's perfect to kill one and injure the other two or one." ”

"The greater the risk, the greater the opportunity. Andrey said objectively.

"Get them ready and we'll be ready to move after Christmas. "Tonight, I'm going to have some time, and you're going to watch the bedroom, and no one will find out." ”

They didn't hesitate to show that they understood that at this time, Phoenix naturally had important things to leave. Phoenix enjoyed a modest lunch while taking a look at the latest international developments.

The economic situation remains grim and prices remain high. It is not uncommon for many people to sprinkle homemade powder into the fire in order to save two Coco West Floo powder, and only to blow up their butts.

When Phoenix returned to the bedroom, Hermione was ready. She wears a delicate, delicate necklace and a soft, flowing dark green silk gown, which will look even more beautiful.

"I'll just say I'll give you a gift," Phoenix kissed Hermione on the neck, "and you'll be satisfied." ”

"Don't make a fuss, don't you have something important to do today?" Hermione was a little nervous.

"Yes, and I have to be back by twelve o'clock anyway - and I have to say a few words to everyone, and I have not prepared a script. "Phoenix suddenly looked less cheerful.

"It's okay, ask me to write something for you. She suggested.

"Yes, the main thing is to strengthen the unity of everyone, those scenes, you know. ”

"We should try to do that. ”

"yes, but we—" Phoenix finished changing her dress, "and it was about the same time, and maybe some of us were already dancing. ”

The Peverell Ball, in itself, is a very relaxing event to strengthen the bond between family members. There are no rules, and they have always been sought after by young people.

The largest auditorium in the castle has been renovated and almost completely unrecognizable. Huge tree trunk cakes, waving branches to keep people from approaching to avoid being eaten. However, people directly pluck the branches first, and the part is made of cream, which is not eaten by many people except children.

Accompanied by melodious, brisk music, some men and women snuggled up directly under the anfen tree trunk cake. On the dance floor in the center, couples of men and women are dancing, surrounded by roast turkeys, each the size of a fried snail.

"Phoenix!" Rogge called them in the distance.

"You've arrived. Merry Christmas!"

"Merry Christmas! just arrived, unfortunately no dance partner. Philip found it and couldn't believe it. Rogge said dejectedly, as a girl with beautiful red hair walked past them. I saw that he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Why do you have so many pretty girls?" Draco tiptoed as well, looking around for a single girl.

"That's a lot, there's a lot of Hogwarts, and it's unbelievable how many girls there were at last year's ball. After a while, Phoenix led Hermione onto the dance floor. They knew it well, and many people noticed them, because Phoenix's cloak was a far different color from the others.

The robes they were wearing were all pale gold Peverell coats of arms, but he was dark purple. Some people with a heart can naturally guess Phoenix's identity.

There were more and more people at the ball, but the auditorium didn't feel a little crowded.

They walked out of the dance floor, and a lot of people came up to them. Greeting to Phoenix, Detreville and Gustav introduce him to each other. Usually it's cousins, uncles, etc., and it's impossible for everyone to see Phoenix, only important family members come to see him. Those who are idle all day long do not want or have any interest in getting to know him. (To be continued.) )
