Chapter 027: Afternoon Tea Party (Part II)

Chapter 027 Afternoon Tea Party (Medium)

"You should be exercising!" Catherine smiled and lifted the umbrella, "Girls don't appreciate boys with little strength!" ”

"Humph!" Blaise snorted angrily and muttered silently, "You're a freak at all!" ”

Catherine pretended not to notice, reopened the umbrella, and prepared to continue to the back garden.

"Are you going to go over like this?" Blaise snapped up and pulled out his wand.

"Your opinion is—" Catherine quietly grasped her wand, only to find that Blaise was just trying to fix her appearance.

When Blaise had cleaned himself, he put away his wand and walked over to Catherine, holding out his right hand to her.

Catherine looked up at him in surprise before placing her left hand on his right.

"Let's go!" Blaise reached out his left hand and helped Catherine grab her right elbow before leading her slowly towards the back garden.

"I have to say," Catherine smiled, feeling the force in her hand, "You're more mature than Draco." ”

"It's over!" Brace smirked, but his right hand involuntarily increased his strength, "Miss—"

“Catherine!” Catherine interrupted, "Or maybe you're losing your memory so quickly, Blaise." ”

"Of course not!" Brace smiled with satisfaction, "Dear Catherine. ”

"Don't mess with adjectives!" Catherine shuddered.

"Don't you think that stimulates them more?" Blaise turned to Catherine and raised an eyebrow, and couldn't help but reach out to touch whether this pretty little face was real.

"It's exciting enough for them." Catherine tilted her head and dodged Blaise's hand, "You inch-your-go-inch. She increased the force of her hand in dissatisfaction.

"You violent woman!" Blaise felt that his elbow must be blue, "Why do you want to learn from Pansy!" ”

"So you won't be teased, will you?" Catherine smiled brightly, "Slytherin's young master! ”

"Do you want to make me be rectified by the dean?" Brace glared angrily at the girl beside him.

"Aren't you self-professing!" Catherine chuckled softly.

"Please!" Blaise said angrily, "Slytherin is not afraid of power, but he must first find out if the gains outweigh the losses. ”

"For the first time—" Catherine was dumbfounded, "Slytherin's precepts can be applied to such occasions. ”

"Slytherin precepts are all-encompassing, all-encompassing!" Blaise held his head up proudly.

"As far as I know—" Catherine deliberately dragged out, "its author should not be yours!" ”

"Catherine!" Blaise growled under his breath of rage, and he wouldn't mind yelling if he hadn't already stepped into the back garden.

His appearance made Catherine laugh again, and seeing this, Brace could only roll her eyes helplessly, and reached out to help the girl's shoulder, lest she laugh until her feet were weak and she really fell.

This scene fell into the eyes of the members of the party, and they couldn't help but be filled with curiosity, only Malfoy's mother and son showed puzzled eyes.

"Brace!" Before the newcomer could get closer, Pansy couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked aloud, "Where did you get this little girl?" ”

"Now I solemnly introduce it to you!" After braithing up his chest and arrogantly walking around the crowd, he opened his mouth to introduce the red-haired girl next to him who deliberately lowered her head again and covered her face with the brim of her hat, "This is Catherine!" ”

"How can you be together!" The crowd was still puzzled, and Draco was already shouting and asking.

"Draco, why don't you cooperate!" Catherine looked up in displeasure and complained, "I came over and ran into Blaise who suddenly jumped down from a tree, so -- let's come together!" She deliberately omitted the specific process to leave room for others to imagine, but her classmates were in shock.

"You're Catherine!" It was the rough-witted Millicent who shouted, Crabbe and Goyle were choking on their mouthfuls of food, Daphne and Theodore were both stupidly open, and Draco's eyes were glazed over, which made Pansy's hands loosen and tighten and loosen.

"Catherine!" Narcissa suddenly walked over and pulled the red-haired girl in front of her, half-crouched down and looked at it carefully, "I obviously asked Mona to help you, why is your face still so plain?" She grumbled in a whisper of disgrief.

"The professor and I both felt that Glamorous wasn't for me." Catherine smiled and replied softly, "And I really don't have that much time!" ”

"It's—" Narcissa knew Catherine's situation, so she didn't doubt the excuse, "but you still have to dress up, don't you think!" She turned to ask the others.

The other children nodded vigorously except Pansy, who hesitated for a moment, but lowered her head slightly.

"Is this Catherine?" The mothers of the other children gathered around, "Sure enough, it's the same as the rumors!" It was Mrs. Perkins, who knew her daughter's thoughts very well, and her tone was naturally not so friendly.

"What a pretty girl!" As soon as Mrs. Zabini approached, she took Catherine to her, "I wonder what your mother looks like?" ”

"I've been in an orphanage for as long as I can remember." Catherine's tone became pitiful.

"Oh! Poor kid! Mrs. Greengrass immediately raised her handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, "How have you lived all these years?" ”

"It's difficult—" Catherine said heavily, bowing her head, then looking up again and smiling, "but it's all gone! ”

"Good boy!" Mrs. Birdside, who was frail in health, and her own daughter were two extremes altogether.

As for Mrs. Crabbe and the Golfer, though not as stupid as their respective sons, they were not at all smart, and they were both cautiously frightened.

Because Theodore's mother had died when he was a child, there were only seven ladies present, and Mrs. Crabbe and the golfers, who would only nod yes, brought the number down to five. But as the saying goes, three women in one play, and as soon as five women chat, nine children can only be at their mercy.

The conversation quickly shifted from Catherine to the future of all the children, and they discussed their studies, jobs, marriages, ...... In the end, it somehow turned to Snape, and they didn't care about the children present, gossiping about why he still refused to get married, whether it was because he still loved his childhood sweetheart, etc.

The children were embarrassed and anxious to put a soundproof spell on themselves to avoid hearing the scandal of their own headmaster, but Catherine sat beside Narcissa with a calm expression, listening to them curiously, until when they talked about what kind of woman to recommend to Snape, she couldn't help but think of his comment yesterday.

"Gross!" Catherine's stomach immediately protested, and she hurriedly raised her hand to cover her mouth, which naturally attracted the attention of the others.

"What's wrong, Catherine?" Narcissa asked with concern.

"I just thought of the Chaos Potion!" Catherine had to tell half the truth, "Before coming here, the professor was talking to me about a cauldron of the most potent potion of chaos. ”

Draco immediately covered his mouth and ran away, Pansy nervously followed, Narcissa rolled her eyes helplessly, and decided to care about her son, the other ladies lost interest in chatting and drinking tea, and the children took the opportunity to run away, pretending to enjoy the garden, only the nervous Crabbe and Goyle remained to eat.

"Catherine, why did you suddenly think of such a disgusting thing!" Blaise didn't believe her words at all.

"Oh, do you want to keep listening to them?" Catherine blinked curiously, and Blaise shook her head vigorously.

"Catherine, are you really alright?" Daphne asked with concern.

"What do you think can happen to me?" Catherine asked rhetorically.

"Perhaps—" Theodore said, looking up at Catherine's belly, "yes! ”

"There is—" Catherine looked at Daphne in shock, as if she didn't understand who Theodore was referring to, "when?" ”

"Wow! You're so fast! Blaise immediately followed suit, "Theodore, when are we going to prepare a present?" Is it male or female? ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Daphne stomped her foot angrily, "We didn't even kiss each other. ”

"I didn't even kiss my mouth!" Catherine raised her voice exaggeratedly, "Theodore, you're too slow!" ”

"Really?" Theodore smiled and took Daphne into his arms, lifted her chin, and kissed her softly on the lips.

"Merlin!" Millicent exclaimed, Blaise whistled hard, and Catherine took out her wand even more exaggeratedly, conjuring a large pile of rose petals above their heads.

In the romantic rain of roses, I was hugged and kissed in my arms by a gentle and strong lover...... Daphne's heart was completely intoxicated, and at this moment she felt that she was the happiest woman in the world, and she only hoped that this moment would last forever.

"Ahem!" Mrs. Greengrass's cough completely ruined the romantic atmosphere, "Can you let go of my daughter?" Mr. Nott. ”

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Greengrass!" Theodore put his arm around Daphne's waist, clasped her hand and said, "I'm never going to let go of Daphne for the rest of my life!" ”

"You—you didn't even propose," Mrs. Greengrass said angrily, "and you want to take my daughter!" ”

"You're right!" Theodore immediately helped Daphne to stand up straight, then knelt down on one knee in front of her.

"I don't have a strong family, I don't have a huge fortune, and I don't have unparalleled strength, and I may not be able to give you the life you want in my life. But after hearing you say that, I understand that you are my only pursuit. So no matter how far the gap between us is, no matter how great the resistance between us, I will always be by your side, shelter you from the wind and rain, protect you for the rest of your life, and take care of you until the sea is dry and the rocks rot, will you marry me? ”

Everyone present was stunned, no one expected Theodore to propose on the spot, and Daphne's face was even more red.

"I disagree!" Mrs. Greengrass shouted angrily, and ran over to grab the hands of the two children, who did not dare to resist but allowed her to forcibly separate the two hands they were holding.
