Chapter 023: Birthday Party

"That's Martini!" Snape glared at the empty cup in her hand in displeasure.

"Of course I do." Catherine smiled and put down the empty glass and picked up another cocktail, "Wine identification is a compulsory course, when you pass the grade E or above, you must be able to identify the year, texture, and origin of each wine, and it is best to know the ingredients in a cocktail after taking a sip." ”

Catherine took a slow sip, closed her eyes and savored slowly: "Three-quarters of spicy gin and one-quarter of lemon juice - screwdriver." ”

"This hotel can only barely meet the five-star level, and I'm afraid that in the eyes of some people, this place is definitely not a good place." Catherine put down the cocktail in reluctance, "But given their first encounter with this type of Muggle hotel, it was understandable that they were overlooked. ”

"What about the first mission?"

"The purpose of the first mission is to test how they can deal with the secrecy of so many wizards, but they are not rigorous enough, five cars for five centuries, and the charter plane takes off at the international airport, to be honest, if there is one carelessness along the way, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble."

"You're not satisfied?" Snape looked across the stage, where the dancers had finished dancing and it was now a few blacks singing a fierce tribal song.

"If you look at it from the eyes of ordinary people, they have completed these two tasks very well, but in the eyes of people at my level, they can only be regarded as barely qualified. You can think I'm being harsh, but if you don't measure it by that standard, it's hard for them to understand where they have their shortcomings and where to make more progress, after all, they're only 13 years old. Catherine smiled and commented, as if she didn't realize that she would turn 13 after midnight tonight.

"I don't think it's harsh!" Snape spoke calmly. "Or rather, Slytherin has always been a harsh standard for measuring themselves."

Catherine was stunned for a moment. "Indeed, only Gryffindor would take a big and big attitude towards ordinary little things," he smiled. But I always forgot that the embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in an anthill. ”

After the singing, Pansy took the stage again.

"The show just now was very exciting, but the next protagonist is one of us in the room." Pansy's words immediately caused the uninformed to look left and right, only to suddenly realize that there were really a lot of people missing, "If you think it's one of them, you're wrong, because they're just preparing for today's birthday - Neville. Longbottom! ”

Fireworks and white light gathered. Neville stared blankly at the people around him with surprise on his face, patting his shoulders, clasping his arms, hugging and saying congratulatory greetings, until a two-tiered lion-shaped cake was pushed in front of him, and he remembered that it was his birthday.

Neville was speechless, he thought that this trip was the best birthday present of the year, and he knew that he could actually eat a birthday cake in Cairo.

"Thank you!" Neville Terrier yelled.

Pansy hosts the birthday song and asks Neville to make a wish. But when he blew out the candles, the top cake exploded, spraying him with cream.

β€œSurprise!” Fred and George shouted as they put their arms around Neville, and even took out two bunches of purple gentleman's orchids and handed them to Neville. "Take it, dear!"

Neville was made to laugh and cry by them, and Arthur and Molly were so angry that they grabbed one by the ear. Pull the twins away from the birthday boy, leaving Neville with two bouquets of purple junzi orchids on his bewildered face.

Luna, who was standing near him, suddenly held out her finger. Gently scrape the cream off the tip of his nose and put it in his mouth and take it in one gulp. Then he smiled and praised: "It's delicious!" ”

"Wow!" Everyone was in an uproar, and several of the unscrupulous Weasley brothers even whistled loudly, Neville's face suddenly turned red, Hermione handed over a towel in time, he hurriedly took it and covered his face, and handed the two bunches of Gentleman's Orchid to Luna.

"Send flowers so soon!" Bill shouted exaggeratedly, and Charlie immediately picked up, "Then don't invite her to dance." The others immediately followed suit, and Neville had no choice but to reach out and invite, and Luna took his hand generously after handing the flower to Molly.

Surrounded by everyone, Neville and Luna were pushed to the center of the dance hall, and soft music immediately sounded, but Neville's expression was miserable, but Luna still had an expression of being out of state, no embarrassment, no displeasure, no joy, and no complaints, she still talked to Neville softly in that erratic voice, but lightly calmed his flustered feelings, his dance steps slowly became calm, and people seemed to begin to feel confident.

"This is the magic of love!" Theodore summed up as a passer-by, provoked a coquettish reprimand from Daphne, he immediately half-bent down and respectfully invited Daphne to dance, his behavior immediately attracted the imitation of the other bold boys, Fredera left Asteria, George took Megan away, Percy invited his sister, Draco unexpectedly asked Hermione to dance, and Brace had to be with Pansy.

Both ladies chose their husbands as their dance partners, and Bill and Charlie had to turn their eyes to Catherine, but the red-haired girl grabbed Snape's elbow and used him as a shield, and the two brothers had to guess the fist, and finally Bill smiled and walked towards Millicent, much to her flattery.

"Hey! It looks like I'll only have to be with the four of you. Charlie walked up to the duo of Ron, Harry, and the bodyguards, and said sourly, but Crabbe and Goyle only looked up at him and continued to suffer, except for the two Gryffindors who looked at him blankly.

"Merlin! Why are there two foodies and two silly hats here? Charlie lamented, Ron and Harry bowed their heads in embarrassment, while Crabbe and Goyle ate more happily.

"Those two foodies are hopeless, but you two still have some hope!" Charlie put his arm around a teenager's shoulder and dragged them to the edge of the dance floor, "A rare creature like a woman can only be grabbed by taking the initiative, now I will help you once, but whether you can keep it and not be snatched away depends on yourself." ”

Charlie walked on the dance floor and patted Percy on the shoulder, stretched out his finger and pointed at Harry, who had already understood his sister's thoughts, smiled and took the initiative to lead Ginny to Harry; Charlie then punched between Draco and Hermione, snatched Hermione and handed her to his little brother, only to find that the dance floor was completely messed up because of him.

Draco saw that his dance partner was kidnapped by Charlie, so he simply took Astoria from Fred who was passing by him, Fred naturally did the same, but the others had already been vigilant, and the only one who didn't notice Neville was the birthday boy who was not easy to start, so Fred simply robbed his mother, so angry that Arthur scolded, and before he finished scolding, he saw Mr. Granger walking out of the dance floor alone, it turned out that Mrs. Granger was snatched away by Charlie, and Arthur, who felt that his godson was not strict, only apologized for inviting him to drink, and Percy simply went over to chat with them.

Seeing this, Catherine and Snape simply went outside to cool off, after all, the temperature in Egypt is much higher than in England.

"Count them through?" Snape stirred up the conversation again.

"For the sake of their hard work, I'm embarrassed to let them go home, and of course I can't let them have fun." Catherine smiled brightly.

"Maybe we can bring the punishment forward." Snape calmly built up, as if he wasn't prepared to embarrass the six children.

"I'm going to have to look at their itinerary again to decide where and how to start." Catherine raised her hand and moved a table and a lamp next to them.

Snape took out his address book, along with a map of Africa and a "Introduction to the Wizarding World of Africa", apparently prepared for the punishment.

The six people who danced indoors were still stirring up the atmosphere with their hearts, and they didn't expect that Catherine and Snape were about to push them deeper into the fire pit, so when they found out that Catherine and Snape were outside, they actually stupidly sent themselves to the door.

"Godfather! Catherine! Draco was pushed out by the others and asked, "How did we accomplish these two tasks?" ”

"Barely qualified!" Snape coldly tapped his fingers on a piece of parchment on the table.

"How is that possible?" Hermione snatched the parchment and found that it listed the shortcomings and shortcomings of these two tasks, and looking at the dense red letters, they couldn't help but feel that they could cross the passing line, and it was completely Snape and Catherine's kindness.

"Let's go get our luggage now." Ron said with a look of frustration on his face.

"Since it is said to be 'barely qualified', you naturally don't have to go back." Catherine smiled.

The six children were stunned for a moment, hugging each other and cheering for each other, but then they were startled by Snape's words.

"Since your results are not very good, we have decided to give you some challenges in the following month." Snape said coldly.

"Rest assured, you can accept or reject these challenges." Catherine's words relieved them a little, but in a blink of an eye, Snape hung higher.

"But if you refuse, it will be more difficult next time." Snape said in a deliberately vicious tone.

"Don't worry, the challenge won't be more difficult than you can handle."

"But the time of the challenge is yet to be determined, and the location is yet to be determined, so you better be ready at all times."

"Now, decide if you take on the first challenge – take care of the journey for the next month and don't turn to any adult unless you have to."

The hearts of the SG group were constantly lifted and put down by the two in front of them, so even though Catherine asked so, the six of them still looked at Snape vigilantly, and then heard him open his mouth.

"The second challenge is to solve the transportation mode to and from various attractions and save time wasted on the road."

"Is it okay to use a portkey?" Harry raised his hand and asked.

"Potter, it's common sense that Muggles can't use most magic items because their physique can't withstand magic." Bress couldn't help but sigh.

"What time are you going to get tonight's party?" Catherine asked suddenly.

"2 a.m." Pansy replied immediately.

"Then we'll leave tomorrow after lunch." Catherine decided with a smile. (To be continued......)
