Chapter 4 Going to the Feast
"Come down, William, we're leaving for the feast," the mother's magically amplified voice came from downstairs.
"Here it is, Mother." William responded.
I have to say that the genes of the Friedrich family are still very good. Eleven-year-old William had long black hair that was soft on his head, and a pair of blue eyes adorned his delicate face. The height of 1.65 meters can definitely stand out among students in the same grade. Paired with a black wizard's robe,,,,,,,
It turns out that a man with long hair can be so handsome, if there is some stubble, a proper male god in the wizarding world, William looked at himself in the mirror with a narcissistic expression.
"The Magic Mirror tells me who is the most handsome man in the world."
"Merlin is on top! The little master is of course you! The compliments that sounded in the mirror made William smile even more.
"Don't stink! It's coming down, William. Mother's voice rang out from downstairs again. The sound was much louder than it had just been.
"Here we are, Mother." William didn't dare to slack off, he pinned a silver family crest brooch to his chest, and walked out of the room quickly.
"Why is it so slow?" said Lady Helena, grumbling, as she looked at William.
"Yes, yes, worthy of being my son, much more handsome than your father when he was a child."
William looked at the corners of his father's mouth twitching, and couldn't help but smile and ask, "Then Father, what was it like when you were young?" ”
"He's sloppy and sloppy all day long, and I don't know how I fell in love with him in the first place." Lady Helena looked at the Duke and said with a smile.
It turns out that when his father was young, there was such a black history, William couldn't help but snicker secretly.
As if sensing William's smile, the Duke coughed lightly, "It's almost time, it's time for us to go." Let's all get in the car. ”
The Friedrich family travelled in a four-wheeled carriage with four doors.
The carriage is completely black, and the sides of the door are printed with the family coat of arms and mottos of the Friedrich family. In addition, there are many intricate runes engraved around the door, which seem to be runes.
Strangely enough, however, the carriage had no coachman and no horses.
It was the first time William had seen the family carriage, and he couldn't help but look left and right, and then looked at his father with curious eyes.
As if sensing William's gaze, the Duke smiled and said to William, "This carriage was made by an ancestor of the Friedrich family who was proficient in alchemy, and the runes you saw engraved on the edge of the carriage were used for protection.
The whole carriage is actually a large portkey, you just need to sit in it, set up the place you want to go, and then establish a magical link with that place, similar to the principle of the portkey.
In addition to this, the whole carriage is powered by magic and does not require horses or coachmen. ”
"Why don't you just use Phantom Shifter, or maybe it's a portkey?" William asked the duke.
"Because it is rude for the nobles to teleport directly to someone else's home with phantom shifting, and it is difficult to ensure accuracy and stability over long distances. As for why you don't use the portkey," the Duke said with a smile as he looked at William. "Because it's too low-class to travel with a portkey, how can we be nobles, like those commoners, holding the portkey and going around the sky without any image?"
"So it's for the sake of being handsome, father." William pursed his lips with a bored face, thinking, Dad, times have changed, and now if you want to be handsome, you have to drive a car.
"However, my lord, I think these inscriptions on the car are still very valuable for research, what a perfect magical structure! Look at these symbols, the beauty is fascinating, maybe I can deduce a defensive spell from this. ”
"Okay, don't look at it yet, there's time later, let's go first.
If you really like these, I have alchemical notes left by that ancestor in my study that you can take and see. ”
The duke looked at his son helplessly, his son was good at everything, but he was too obsessed with magic.
Sure enough, as soon as he heard this, William left the carriage, he walked to the door, pulled the door, and said to his parents,
"You're right, father, there's still a lot of time to study this in the future, father and mother, let's get in the car. I can't wait to go to this party. ”
"You, let's go, Helena." The Duke looked at William and smiled helplessly.
After a while, an invisible magic enveloped the carriage, and then, the entire carriage suddenly disappeared in place.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Today is a very important day for the Malfoy family.
From the morning on, the patriarch of the Malfoy family, Lucius Malfoy, and his wife, Narcissa Malfoy, began to set up the Malfoy estate.
The house-elves were asked to use magic to clean every inch of the manor.
With the white tiles and the spotless chandelier on the roof, everything looks so neat and orderly.
"Pile all these snacks on the table over there, how are the drinks prepared?"
Lucius Malfoy asked tiredly as he sat in his chair, anyone who had been busy since the morning would feel tired.
"It's all ready, master." A house-elf bowed to Malfoy.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, Lucius." A gentle voice came from behind Lucius, and a pair of delicate hands gently caressed Lucius's head. "The guests will arrive in a moment."
"Thank you, Narcissa." Lucius closed his eyes and gently stroked his wife's hand, and after a while spoke,
"You know, how important this banquet is today. After that man fell, the situation for our family became more and more difficult, and we really needed an ally.
A new spell was invented at the age of eleven, and the Friedrich family produced an immortal genius whose future might be even higher than that of Dumbledore and that man.
We need such a vibrant family friendship. That way, when that person comes back, we will have more options. ”
"Do you really believe that the man is not dead?" Narcissa asked.
"Narcissa, you don't understand, a wizard of his level, I don't know how many hole cards there are.
Death may only be the beginning for them. Lucius opened his eyes and said to Narcissa,
"Do you remember that diary, the spell attached to it was quite sophisticated, I'm sure it was definitely one of his followers.
So in any case, I need to win the friendship of the Friedrich family.
Alright, Narcissa, I'm almost rested, you go and call Draco, I have a few words to say to him. ”
