Chapter 3: Big News
"But then again," Draco shifted, fumbling with his fingers boredly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info "Is there anything big in your family, how to make a barbecue party, such a big pomp." β
Draco finally asked the question, he had been holding it back for a long time, who knew that Miss Jack-of-all-trades had been talking about house-elves all along, which made Benjamin depressed for a while.
"Well," Benjamin flickered, honestly, he actually wanted to tell Draco and Hermione right now.
It's just that Mrs. Ludwig told him that it must not be announced in advance, otherwise there will be no surprises.
As for why he needed a surprise, Benjamin was also confused.
"Master, this female friend of yours, although her ideas are sometimes naΓ―ve, but her talent is also very good. β
This is the second time a lich has said such a thing.
Benjamin couldn't help but be a little curious, "How the hell do you see if they have talent?"
The lich paused for a moment before explaining to Benjamin:
"Actually, I just said it casually, but I just guessed it right. I mainly think that the master will definitely not play with those gods who have little talent. β
Is it?
A boy's smile popped into Benjamin's mind, he was now a Hogwarts hero.
But when he saw Frank's parents, crying and leaving school, Benjamin felt a little uncomfortable.
I'm afraid they will hate their children for becoming wizards, otherwise there will be no flying trouble.
"You're wrong, I have a very good friend who is an idiot. β
Time passed quickly, and more and more people came to Ludwig Manor.
Mr. Ludwig and Lucius arrived outside the manor and set up magical interference facilities that would make passing Muggles ignore their side of the revelry.
After all, drunk, who knows what a group of wizards can do!
And Benjamin had no way to talk to them, so he could only play a welcoming role with Mrs. Ludwig.
It has to be said that this barbecue party was quite a success, at least Benjamin has heard many people's praise.
Most people would have praised Mrs. Ludwig for being so beautiful tonight.
Perhaps the only thing Benjamin regretted was that the Greengrass family didn't come.
As a result, Daphne was also absent.
Pansy stood beside them, and said with some schadenfreude, "You two, I'm afraid it's not a good taste, aren't you? β
Having gotten to know Pansy, Hermione felt that the girl wasn't as annoying as she thought.
Except that sometimes she doesn't talk through her brain, she is also a very cute girl.
"Do they have any connection to them?" Apparently, Hermione, who was far away in Gryffindor, was somewhat isolated.
"Well, that's right. Pansy, who was particularly fond of gossip, was immediately pleased, and she snuck into Hermione's ear and began to whisper.
Benjamin and Draco glanced at each other, seeing the same helplessness in each other's eyes.
Next to them, from time to time there was the lewd laughter of two girls.
"Actually, I think Benjamin and Draco are a good match. β
Hermione said suddenly.
Draco's face turned green, and as for Benjamin, he couldn't help but bend over.
Pansy, however, kept laughing.
"Haha, so you think so! Actually, I've always thought so. Every time the two of them are together, I feel very affectionate. β
Benjamin rubbed his head, and there was a feeling of crying and laughing.
It was at this moment that Mr. Ludwig's voice rang out.
He must have used magic to make the sound waft throughout the manor.
"First of all, I would like to thank you for coming to Ludwig Manor and for coming to spend this wonderful evening with us!
Suddenly, everyone stood up and began to cheer enthusiastically, repeating those stark words with Mr. Ludwig!
When everyone had quieted down, Mrs. Ludwig cleared her throat and continued:
"Of course, I asked you to come here today, and I have a very important thing to share with you, and I was so happy when I learned the news. β
Benjamin suddenly felt a little embarrassed, should he find a place to hide.
After all, when Mr. Ludwig announces all this, he will surely be the center of everyone's attention.
"That's Benjamin from our family, who received an offer from Durmstrang. β
The whole scene fell silent for a moment, and those who didn't know thought that Mr. Ludwig had used a silent magic.
Even Lucius and Narcissa were shocked, apparently they didn't quite understand what the Ludwig family was doing this.
After all, Durmstrang is a sensitive school.
As almost everyone knows, it is a school of magic that specializes in black magic.
This move by the Ludwig family has something else in the eyes of some.
Not to mention, they even held a special party to announce it.
Draco on the side was also shocked, he looked at Benjamin, not knowing what to say.
I could only silently ask, "Are you going to Germany? Why are you going to Durmstrang?"
Hermione, too, was full of incomprehension, thinking that Benjamin would be her very good classmate at Hogwarts.
"Benjamin, why are you transferring schools? I, I'm going to overtake you next semester!
Hermione's voice was full of tears.
"Alas," Benjamin sighed, not knowing how to answer his question. Could it be that he should tell the things about the ancient gods?
That's certainly something that no one will believe.
"I just wanted to go to Germany, where there is a completely different system of magic than in England. Moreover, I now think that black magic is a very interesting thing and a research direction. β
For a moment, everyone fell silent and stopped talking.
Draco sighed at the end, but patted Benjamin on the shoulder hard.
"Don't disgrace us when you go to Germany! You know, you represent us Slytherin!"
"No, it's Hogwarts. Hermione choked up and added.
However, Dratt even echoed Hermione, "Yes, you represent our Hogwarts students!"
Benjamin's heart was warm, and he clenched his fists, "You can rest assured!"
