Chapter 1227: Trick-or-treating
"There was no decoration in the house, for Xenophilius felt that it was not interesting to play alone at home, so he went to Miss Crivat's house and helped them, who did not know how to do magic, to decorate the house. Helena said with a straight look, but her eyes had already looked in the other direction, and she suppressed her dislike for Penelope in order not to go to Hermione's house, "Miss Criveat's house goes this way, I can lead the way..."
Lucius knew exactly what his wife wanted, and he did have such worries and preferences, but the influence of the Malfoy family, who were good at drilling, made him understand that profit was the most important matter: "We can all go, and we should be in a hurry." β
Narcissa also knew about Penelo Crivat's family as an Auror, and she was terrified of the murderous name of the other woman who had to deal with a female demon with a personality comparable to her sister but not her sister at all, and was even more annoyed to realize that she had to go to a Muggle family tonight.
"Thank you, Lady Gray, for being the daughter of Lady Ravenclaw, for knowing so many things. Narcissa complimented with a smile on her face, but she looked a little uncomfortable at this time compared to her usual skill, "But maybe we should go to Miss Granger's house first, and then we can go to Mr. Grindelwald's appointment after the visit?"
Emily took Narcissa's expression into her narrowed eyes, and then, her long eyelashes fluttered, she glanced up at Laura, and then grabbed her sugar basket and slapped her hand on it, "Merope! I didn't let you steal my candy!"
"Miss Granger and Miss Crivat are both among Harris's most important core members. Laura saw Emily's movements and immediately began to lash, "Mrs. Malfoy, I think we should probably consider them more important than Mr. Grindelwald?
Narcissa didn't expect her mind to be seen by such underage children, and she didn't expect the other party to directly pick out in public, and Narcissa's miserable face was stunned, and she held Lucius's hand cold and trembling a little.
"I'm sorry, Miss Rozier!, don't get me wrong!" Lucius grabbed his wife's hand tightly, and quickly defended, "Narcissa didn't mean it that way... In fact, she was only a little timid and afraid of such things as haunted houses, and Paul of the Green Grass family seemed to be too timid and stunned just now, so she was affected... That's why I want to go to Mr. Grindelwald's first... We..."
"Laura, Mr. Malfoy is right, you don't know their house well... Don't talk nonsense, Hermione and Draco have been friends for a long time, haven't they?" Emily interrupted Lucius's defense in a soft voice, and she criticized Laura softly with a serious expression, "You must be careful, if these unfounded speculations reach my brother's ears and make him believe them, isn't it because of your words?" Have our Harris and Malfoys' friendship come to naught?"
"I'm so sorry? Miss, it's me who is too sensitive..."Laura quickly apologized to Emily? Then she looked at Mr. and Mrs. Lucius? "Forgive me, Mr. Malfoy? Mrs. Malfoy... You know, though my pure-blood mother killed my Muggle father? But half of my blood is still Muggle's? So I'm too sensitive to that..."
"Uh... Miss Rozier, it is our fault that we have misunderstood you, and I beg you to believe that we do not think so. β
β... Have we been influenced by those old ideas and done something that we shouldn't have done? But believe it... We, under Principal Harris, have we corrected the bad habits of the past? Like Draco, he often compliments us on his Muggle friends and Muggle products right now..."
The Malfoys didn't dare to treat Emily as a cute little girl at all, and they were very familiar with this set of things, and they simply confessed to Emily's beating.
"Shall we say something happy?" Emily held up her basket of sweets, "Mrs. Malfoy, when Draco and the others come back, continue to take us to ask for candy! Maybe we'll fill Gabrielle's basket for me and me!"
After a while, outside the Granger family's mansion, which has no French style at all? Under the light of the flickering and flickering ghost fire in the courtyard, several tall figures could be faintly seen guarding the door of the house, which was arranged in a gloomy manner.
On the steps in front of the door are stacked two rows of hideous jack-o-lanterns that have been spelled to change their expressions? Their orientation and gaze will always be focused on the visitor, and will also show them the way - but what about the Granger family? Has it spread among the little wizards who ask for sugar in a short time? Many adult wizards with small children have begun to choose to hold their children when passing through this stretch of road? Walk to the opposite side of the street and walk around it.
At this time, there was another place in the courtyard of Granger's house that was a little eye-catching, and on the other side of the middle of the road leading to the entrance door of the house, there was a warning sign reminding people to walk around the stone road, otherwise they would fall into the well at their own risk - this sign was not as fine as other decorations, and the group combined with the previous experience of the Green Meadows family, and estimated that it was temporarily added because of this matter.
And I don't know if it was an additional continuous spell, after approaching Granger's house, the group could clearly feel a chill pass through their bodies, this chill penetrated their skin, and it was cold to their chests, and their breath condensed in their chests, cold to his heart......
"Emily... I'm afraid..."
"What the hell is this? Where did the feeling come from?... How did Hermione get it?"
"Miss, you see some white fog coming out of the dirt in the garden... Miss Granger is not going to bury the Dementors in the garden?"
The little witches were standing outside the courtyard with baskets, and Emily's expression at this time became really frightened after thinking that Hermione was serious, not to mention them, as just grown wizards who were not Gryffindors but Slytherins, although they thought they were not as timid as the Ravenclaws, but these little snakes were not much better.
"Don't worry, let me take you into the courtyard and knock on the door this time... I can just have a nice chat with Mr. and Mrs. Granger and clear up the misunderstandings in the past..."Lucius took the initiative to relieve the ladies very gentlemanly, but he was also affected by the atmosphere and couldn't help but clench the cane in his hand, "Draco, take Vincent and Gregory to protect the young ladies... Pansy, you stay at the door and help me take care of Sissy. β
This relieved the little witch and the little wizards, and led by Lucius, they entered the courtyard gate of Granger's house, and there was a strange cry from an unknown creature in the courtyard, and the sound was sharp and violent, and it sounded very penetrating, like the smoke of a wild black snake rushing out of the doorway, boiling and rolling around Lucius and them.
Narcissa was very guilty, she watched Lucius take the children's steps that had become different because of the strange special effects of the courtyard, and understood that her husband decided to stop guarding the courtyard gate like ordinary parents in order to make up for her mistake just now, but to take this group of obviously frightened little witches to go over in person, and from her husband's words, she also knew that after Lucius passed, he would also solemnly apologize and ask for forgiveness for offending the Granger family before.
Pansy noticed Narcissa's expression, and she thoughtfully began to half-hug her in order to warm each other, and she advised, "Narcissa, Emily and Ellen are very good to their own people, don't worry..."
Narcissa felt a little warmer and more comfortable, and she hugged Pansy, who would become her daughter-in-law in the future: "Pansy, your father will be fine, you are different from Crabbe, Lucius will definitely intercede for him." β
"Halloween, Trick or treat...", the little witches were not too energetic to trick or treat, and Narcissa knocked on them, and found that the door was being opened.
Then, a burst of black fog from the house covered the door, the screams of the frightened living pierced the night sky, Draco, who didn't know what he had seen, ran in front with a frightened face, and Emily, who was behind him, ran out of the courtyard with Laura who had already picked up Gabrielle, and the female ghost Helena's translucent body color became more pearly white, and as a female ghost who could not step on the ground, she also staggered, and then began to fly into the sky without the slightest adjustment of the skirt that risked losing her skirt to maintain her former elegance, and began to fly into the sky regardless of the meaning of running away; Goyle and Crabbe collided together and rolled down the steps while escapingγ
Narcissa's husband, Lucius, threw his cane into the courtyard, and with a few uh-uh-uh sounds, he leaned and fell limply on the carpet outside the door.
Just as Narcissa pressed her hands to her mouth and thought she was about to scream out about being attacked by her fears, she watched in amazement as Hermione Granger rushed out in a panic, tossing aside a talking human head in her hand and began to crouch on the ground to check on Lucius's condition.
