82 Chapter 82
It's going to be a party that will go down in history!
At first, she thought it was just a simple banquet, so she started to set it up with the elves at three o'clock.
The two upstairs rooms are used as separate places for male and female guests to wash up and make up, so you can also go in if you need a break on a temporary basis. But there were only a few chairs inside, the bed and sofa were removed, and not even the carpet was covered. Having worked as a maid for more than ten years, she knows very well what will happen to those drunken male or female guests who are dizzy for a while.
- Of course, she didn't think anyone among the guests would do that tonight.
The dining room and living room on the first floor are cleaned out, the living room is huge, and there is a piano in the corner, and you can move the bits and pieces out to hold a dance party inside.
Rose divided it into two sections, with different sofas and chairs, the fireplace for the men to smoke or have a chat, and the windowsill and the piano for the ladies. Red came up with the idea that the piano could play the music on its own, but there was only one piece of music when it was turned upside down.
"Let it be quiet." It's hard to say that he did a bad job, but maybe Red thinks it's fresh too? He's a little less excited than he is.
The dinner menu was decided several times, and with Headmaster Dumbledore's appetite in mind, Pauss separated the men's menu from the women's menu.
She also had two wines and several different juices, and Professor Dumbledore had some for his liking of mead, though she thought maybe Professor Sgollahhorn would appreciate wine more.
At six o'clock, the guests came one after another. Pauss dragged Red all the way to greet the guests, and the first to arrive was Professor Sprout, who wore a burgundy wizard's robe and took a small basket of brown fruit that Pauss didn't recognize.
Bao Si immediately took it, hugged her gently and said, "You are welcome!" Then he took her on a tour of their house, and then went back to the living room, where the elf had already brought fresh refreshments, and a white porcelain plate containing fruit she didn't recognize, the flesh of which was the color of a ripe mango.
"This is an elf mango, I heard that it was planted by elves in the past, and it makes people feel good after eating it! I use it every day as an after-dinner dessert. Professor Sprout said, motioning for Rose to have a taste.
This mango has a fragrant flavor.
At this point, Red led Professor McGonagall to the scene, and Rose immediately stood up and asked her to sit down.
"Mom, Professor McGonagall gave us a big pot of shapeshifting grass. ā
Of course, Rose didn't know what Shapeshifting Grass was, and Professor Sprout immediately said he wanted to see it. It turned out that the Transfiguration Grass was in a cage, and there was a large flower pot full of dirt in the cage, but there were only about two dozen bouncing gray grass balls in the flower pot.
"Oh, that's a rarity!" Professor Slalauter liked it very much.
After Professor McGonagall explained, she learned that this metamorphosis was very difficult to catch and could not be cultivated, as no one knew if it was a grass or an animal. But it's very interesting.
Professor McGonagall instructed Paussy to take a ball of grass and let it go: "Imagine what you want." She held it and closed her eyes for a moment, and when she opened it again, the ball of grass turned into a beautiful snuffbox, and when she opened the lid, it was full of fine snuff.
"Isn't that a wish?" Baosi said in surprise, she closed her eyes and thought for a while, clenched the grass ball in her hand, and when she let go again, there was a bottle of dark green perfume in her hand, she unscrewed the lid and smelled it, very satisfied, it was this indescribable smell.
"What is this?" Professor McGonagall asked, frowning.
Holding the thin-waisted crystal bottle, she smiled and said, "This is Tom's first gift to me. Then she went back to her room and put it on the dresser. She didn't plan to wipe it again, but she wanted to see it every day.
Then Headmaster Dumbledore and Professor Sgollahhorn arrived, each with their own gifts. Headmaster Dumbledore was a book, and when he quietly handed it to Rose, he said, "I got it by chance...... No matter what book you want to read, you can open it and read it. Then he cleared his throat and walked away.
Baosi looked at the half-old book in her hand suspiciously, thinking of a book of jokes, and when she opened it, it was! Close it and think about another memoir of a certain celebrity, this is the last time she saw it in the Muggle bookstore, and she put it in the hall window, and there was a poster of that star. She was curious if it would be written about the star's former lovers.
When she opened it again, it was the foreword to the celebrity's memoir.
'To the people I loved......
"It's amazing." Baoth felt that she would only need to put this book on the bedside in the future.
Professor Sgollahhorn gave her a powerful hug as soon as she entered, "Oh, Rose! You married my proud student and gave birth to a student I liked! You are a great person! His gift was a set of wizard cosmetics, including an instant shine for hair oil and lipstick for lips.
By the time it was eight-o'clock and fifteen-o'clock, Professor Trelawney and Hagrid had arrived late. Poise admits that she did it on purpose, and Hagrid is fine, but she is worried that Professor Trelawney has ruined everyone's appetite before the meal.
"Welcome! Welcome! ā
Pauss took Hagrid and led him into the dining room with a finger, but luckily the door frame and roof had been enchanted, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to get in. Behind her, Red was smiling impeccable and saying to Professor Trelawney, "Please wait, my father will be there in a moment." ā
Paucus had to lead everyone to the cafeteria and then take time to call Tom down on the second floor.
"Let's go, the guests are waiting for you." She couldn't help but tear him off, but luckily he looked extremely decent everywhere, even in his own study. After only a cursory glance, she decided that it would be no problem for him to go out and entertain guests like this. Once in the dining room, she asked him to sit directly across from Professor Sprout.
"Dear, let's talk to our guests." She gave Tom a threatening look, making sure he would be here before going to the dining room to confirm dinner, and when she returned, she was surprised to find Tom and Professor Trelawney having a good conversation, and the two were discussing the good fortune of the week ahead about the candle in front of them.
The other pairs of guests also seemed to be chatting speculatively, no one was left out in the cold, and Paise breathed a sigh of relief, and Dumbledore sat down in front of him, taking a large sip of ice water.
"Is Tom talking to Professor Trelawney?" The shrewd old wizard squinted his eyes as if he couldn't see in the distance, staring through his crystal lenses.
"Yes." Pauss glanced at it hurriedly, and said, "I wanted Red to receive Professor Trelawney, but he wouldn't. ā
The first thing to do was the starter, and she prepared foie gras, salmon, and cocktail cups, and she made up her mind to do it well, as if she was sure of herself, when she used to be a maid, she just stood down and waited for others to eat, but now she has a treat at home, and she wants to have a banquet no worse than anyone else.
Professor Sgollahhorn had some foie gras, Dumbledore and several of the ladies had a cocktail, and only Professor Trelawney said she couldn't eat seafood for the week because it would bring her bad luck, so it was salmon. Look at her expression, it's good for everyone not to eat seafood, because it will bring bad luck to everyone.
The table was a little cold, no one was willing to answer her, and everyone was bored to taste the food in front of them.
There was no way, so she had to let the elf serve the soup now. She prepared three kinds of soups, a seafood soup with shrimp and squid, and she was worried that someone would be allergic to seafood, so she prepared another ordinary broth that would not be annoying, and also prepared a vegetable soup for guests who only ate vegetarian dishes.
Of course, Professor Trelawney frowned at the seafood soup on the table again, and almost snorted from his nose. When it came time for the third course, she would only eat the bread next to her, ignoring the delicious clams.
Paise was already very upset, and the guest's dissatisfaction with the dinner was a dereliction of duty, and she had to leave the kitchen halfway, where the elf Hubid was hitting his head against the wall, and she quickly grabbed it, assuring it that the dinner was perfect and that everyone liked it.
"But Professor Trelawney doesn't like ......," the elf cried, and it was dying of grief.
"I promise, she'll love the next dish!"
Just in case, Habitt added a few more dishes, and he used almost all of his skills, and as a result, there were several more main dishes, and Bowsie was not sure if she had seen a roast suckling pig? The table had to get bigger and longer.
"It's so hearty!" Dumbledore said with a smile.
"yes, yes." Professor Sgollahhorn burped, touched his stomach and said, "I haven't seen such a grand table at Hogwarts!" ā
"You're complimenting!" "I think my elf must be very glad to hear it," said Rose, "and I'm glad you like it so much!" ā
"It deserves to be rewarded!" Sgollahhorn was a little drunk, stood up and raised his glass.
Paucus had to call Hubbitt out, and when she appeared in front of so many wizards, she could tell that she was stunned. Probably it thought it was going to be punished, right?
"First...... Sir, Honorable Sir, Habitt is at your disposal. ā
"You've done a great job! I think your master will agree with me! With a wave of his wand, Sgollahhorn revealed a golden glittering badge on the small tea towel it was wearing.
"Oh! IāI'm so grateful...... Mr...... Master...... I......!! The elf's tears fell like a waterfall, and it stood there helpless, unable to speak with joy.
"You totally deserve it! You deserve it! Now that Prith had determined that Sgollahhorn was drunk, he seemed to have drunk a bottle of wine alone, and he waved his wand and gave Habitt many badges, one after another, praising him for his loyalty and diligence, for he had never seen such a good elf. He said to Paus, "There will be many ladies who envy you!" When they know you have such a good elf! ā
"Of course, of course it is!" After Habit said, Harbitt went back to the kitchen with more than twenty badges hanging all over his body, and his feet were fluttering.
After eating dessert, they went to the living room to sit and chat, and by the way, let them eat and make their bellies a little smaller.
Professor Trelawney also drank a lot, and out of curiosity, Pauss asked her to tell her fortune. Perhaps the dinner was very satisfying to her, and she said that she was very lucky for the coming week.
"You're going to have a windfall! Just Monday! She affirmed, squinting at the vase shelf next to her, "Why is your son standing there?" ā
Pauss looked up at the fireplace behind her and chatted with Dumbledore and Sgollahhorn about Red, and casually said, "Oh, I think he's just drunk." ā
But Professor Trelawney still can't break her old habits: "But be careful, Tuesday ......"
Must be unlucky on Tuesday?
Ross was very curious, and from the beginning Trelawney kept predicting misfortune, that Sgollahhorn would be burned in the fireplace, that Dumbledore would fight trolls, that Professor McGonagall would have an accident in the bathroom, that Professor Sprout would get seriously ill by having a rusty needle pricked in his finger, and that Hagrid would choke on a cake. But she didn't predict Tom's misfortune, and neither did Red.
"Tuesday......" Professor Trelawney waved his hand, eyes seemingly closed.
'The stars are off track...... ' she suddenly made a terrible sound from her throat like a hiccup! Everyone was immediately attracted to her! And Baosi has been caught by her hand all the time! Her hands suddenly became very strong!
"Mom!" Rhett's face changed and he was about to draw his wand and rush over, but Dumbledore stopped him, and Sgollahhorn's mouth opened in surprise and looked at Terry Laurie in disbelief - he had never seen her like this, like she had suddenly put on a crown and become the Queen of England.
Rose was anxious and frightened, when Tom came up from behind and pressed one hand on her shoulder, which made her calm down immediately.
There's something in Trelawney's throat, and she gurgles like a sewer.
'The stars are off track...... Thirty years ago...... A star suddenly changed everything......
He didn't go past his parents in another world...... No one can know who he is...... Where did he come from......'
'The stars had to change their orbits......
There is no good or evil in him...... Because none of this is yet to be decided......
It was only a few minutes before Professor Trelawney suddenly recovered, still holding her hand as if she had just come back to her senses: "...... Where did I just go? Oh, and next Tuesday you'll be hit and injured by a speeding Hippogriff. ā
But no one else seemed to hear what she said, including Professor McGonagall, who looked at Trelawney, who had also predicted misfortune, with a look on her face that was no less than seeing Minister Fudge suddenly make a statement that she was resigning as Minister of Magic.
Rose only felt Tom's hands on her shoulders getting harder and harder.
- It was a special party.
She is absolutely sure that the guests will be very memorable.
