Chapter 971: She Doesn't Mean Anything to Me
After a few days, as speculated, in various print media, they began to use the umbrella as a monopoly and did not care about the economic safety of the wizarding world to grab a lot of wealth, and they hired reporters with sharp words and began to criticize the umbrella group, and suggested that the reason why the umbrella was so strong was because the Ministry of Magic, controlled by Harris, gave them the green light and caused unfair competition.
At this time in Harris Manor.
"There is a strong demand that the Harris family maintain a level playing field... The monopolistic behavior of the Umbrella Group is destroying the market, the Ministry of Magic should intervene, and the Harris family should bear social responsibility for it... Considering the long-term development of the wizarding world, the Umbrella Group should be sanctioned..."Morgan Lefay sat at the dinner table and picked out a few passages and read them, her expression worried at them.
"A bunch of clowns, they won't be proud for long, they are not afraid of the Ministry of Magic's retaliation, if the Ministry of Magic attacks the media or their industry at such a moment, it will confirm their speculations with ordinary wizards..."Josephine Harris put down the teacup in her hand, her expression did not seem to be affected, she patted the back of her sister-in-law's hand comfortingly with her cold hand, "Don't worry, Morgan Lefay, let them make more of these guesses." ”
And near the gate, girls who are not very interested in politics gather on the other side.
Daisy pointed her wand at her eyelashes to cast a spell to make them look longer, and she looked in the mirror to Tonks, who was behind her as a bodyguard, and asked, "So, little beauty, which of those three wedding dresses did you choose?" I think the bandeau style may be sexier, and the V-neck one can make your neck look slender... Helena chose that style to fall... It's a little too retro... In fact, if you want me to say, you two are not short of money, why don't you order one?"
"I love the V-neck. Emily sat down and ate her snacks, preferring to eat somewhere other than her room so as not to stain her bed—even if the house-elves were responsible and would clean it up quickly.
"You know Daisy, we want to save a little bit for the wedding and buy a house of our own... But sorry, Emily, Daisy... I didn't choose any of the three..."Tonks was slightly stunned, shook her bright short pink hair a little awkwardly, and hesitantly took out another photo, "I went shopping again later, I think I chose this one... I'm sorry Daisy, I made my own decision, I think this one might be more suitable for me..."
"I think you should be slow in your plans to buy a house, because Ai—" Daisy realized that it was better not to announce her brother's plans in advance, so she changed her words, "Well, I mean, weddings are only once, and more important than anything else. ”
"It's okay Daisy, in fact, if it wasn't for your original request, Lupin and I would have thought about finding a tavern to celebrate by ourselves. After Daisy finished speaking, Emily, who saw the picture over there, had already let out an exclamation.
Daisy had already put on a coat here, and when she heard the sound, she hurriedly stretched out her hand out of her sleeve, and took the photo without caring about tidying up, only to see the crepe, embroidered tulle and handmade delicate lace on the wedding dress, with a small neckline and a low open back sheer effect design, which is quite eye-catching. The skirt is layered, the light gauze is pervasive, and the peach heart face of Tonks makes her as beautiful as a princess, and her good figure is displayed at a glance. Tonks, dressed in a wedding dress, looked at the camera with a bright smile and a happy face.
"Wow, Remus is really a lucky man, this wedding dress is indeed very suitable for you, big beauty, we obviously saw it hanging there when we were shopping, and we didn't feel anything about it, how can I wear it on your body, it is really too suitable for you! Daisy screamed with glee.
The scream made the mother and aunt who were talking about business turn their heads at the same time, and also caused the two father and daughter, who were helpless to accompany their daughter to watch the Muggle emotional drama in front of Helena's request, to pay attention.
"Wow, Tonks, did you choose it yourself? or did someone else choose it for you?" Emily also looked at the photo with envy on her face, "If someone else chose it, can you let her choose some clothes for me?"
Daisy's face was suddenly stunned, she pinched the photo and raised her head suspiciously-Tonks has a bold personality, she is bigger than herself, how can she have such an aesthetic, and choose the most suitable outfit among so many clothes.
Daisy narrowed her eyes and asked, "So, Tonks, did you choose it yourself?"
"Uh... It's just that I was lucky enough to try it, but I didn't expect it to be so suitable. Tonks licked his lips, his tone a little slumped, and his hair faded a lot.
Daisy's expression was no longer as excited as she had just been: "Tonks, you didn't answer my question. ”
A puff of black smoke appeared out of thin air in the open space in front of the TV.
"Alan, I'll tell you......" The apparition came back and Lunn was excited to discuss things with Alan, but halfway through his words, he saw Alan's finger pressed on his lips, silenced him, and then pulled Lenn to sit on the sofa.
Helena saw that her second uncle seemed to have something to talk about when she came back to her father, and she almost pouted at the undetectable pout, then got up and bowed to them in advance, and then began to float towards Daisy.
Alan quietly pointed at Daisy and Tonks to Len, and his expression remained inexplicably Len, only then did he notice that his sister seemed to be questioning her best friend, Alan pointed his wand at his ear, and the wide handle of the wand was aimed at his sister's side, because he had just watched some TV series with his daughter and became a little gossipy, and at this time he couldn't help but want to hear the secrets of the girls - although Lunn was still a little confused about the matter itself, he also took out his wand in a similar way.
"No, it's just... I—" Tonks was a little flustered.
Daisy looked at Tonks' flustered expression strangely, and she realized that the other party was lying, but she didn't know why she lied because of this, "Who picked this set for you?
Emily could see the problem, and while she didn't know why Tonks was nervous, she also found that she seemed to be asking something that shouldn't be asked.
"Aunt Fleur picked it, didn't you? I saw you go out together yesterday afternoon. By this time, Helena had already floated over and saw the picture in Daisy's hand, she didn't know the relationship, and only heard Daisy ask questions and inadvertently exposed Tonks's lies.
Daisy looked stunned, she looked at Tonks with a look of incredulity, and asked again in an uncertain tone, "So this is Fleur's choice? You went with Fleur behind my back to choose a wedding dress, Tonks?"
Tonks walked up to her nervously, gesturing and reminding, "I just ran into her after sending you back yesterday, thinking that she is from romantic France, you know that they are very interested in dressing up... A little more picky than we are. ”
Daisy couldn't believe her ears, she brushed her hair back, and exclaimed in disbelief, "My brother's apprentice, Merlin!"
Not noticing that something was wrong with the other party's interjection, Tonks just realized that it was not good, and quickly approached, anxiously grabbed Daisy's arm, and explained repeatedly: "Wait dear! Other than that, she doesn't mean anything to me...... I've always been thinking about you, sorry, okay? I don't want you to know. ”
"But you chose the wedding dress she chose for you!" Daisy jerked out the arm she was holding in Tonks' hand, and her voice was a little crippling.
Emily knew that it was not good, so she jumped out of her chair, put the rest of the snacks back, and dragged her niece Helena, who had not yet figured out the situation, to her room.
And here one is sad and crying, and the other is anxiously explaining... Seeing the posture of the two people like this, Lunn with a magic wand always felt a little disobedient. Under normal circumstances, what it would be like for witches to quarrel with each other, Lunn looked back on his limited experience with witches, and became more and more confused.
"At first I just wanted to ask for her opinion, you know she's Albert's fiancée too, Albert is my boss....so I've got to be nice to her..."Tonks explained in a panic, "After I sobered up, I found out that we were choosing a wedding dress together..."
"My brother's Ravenclaw!" Daisy leaned back against the table behind her, nodded and sighed heavily, "I need to go out and breathe... Sorry, Dora, I can't attend your farewell bachelorette party. ”
After Daisy finished speaking, she ran out of the door with a hurt face, and Tonks hurriedly stepped forward, and she desperately explained to Daisy, "Wait, dear!
Seeing two people in such a posture... Lunn couldn't help but touch the goosebumps that popped up on his arm.
And Alan, who had listened to a comedy that would have been the only Muggle TV soap opera in their time, resisted the urge to laugh, and he turned his head to see the always serious Lunn with his mouth wide open and his jaw seemed to be dropping, and he looked frightened, and he couldn't help laughing out loud anymore.
