Chapter 275: Catherine (Dress Limited)
The two who were reprimanded didn't dare to speak out, Catherine's aura was so strong that they didn't even dare to refute it.
Besides, it was they who took the blame and bullied a fifteen-year-old comrade, is that good? It's not good.
Hermione shivered in Catherine's arms, she was really frozen, the snow on her neck had melted, and the cold water ran down her skin, and the cold feeling made her uncomfortable.
Two bad boys, you stab me, I stab you, and gather around Hermione to apologize.
The generous Hermione chose to forgive them, after all, at this time period, peace is still precious, and what accounts can be calculated slowly when she goes back in the evening.
After playing for a while, and it was almost three o'clock, Catherine called out to Louis early to hurry back to the office.
"I haven't had enough fun so early." Luis grumbled as he smashed Seamus Finigan into a cloud of snow.
Immediately after, a cloud of snow flew over and hit the back of Catherine's head impartially.
The air in the whole field suddenly froze, and even the action of the snowball fight stopped, and Durmstrang not far away, unaware of what was happening, threw snowballs at the Gryffindors who were standing like stupid roe deer.
I don't know who threw the ball of blood that hit Catherine, but everyone is sure that it was definitely not Slytherin.
Catherine glanced back, didn't say anything, just patted the snow on her hair, and bit her lip to look at Louis: "Go back quickly, Aunt Emma just sent me a message to Aslo, saying that there is still so much to prepare, I'm afraid there won't be enough time." ”
"Okay." Louis smacked his lips, turned around to say hello to his classmates in Slytherin, and left with Catherine.
On the way, you can also see Gryffindor vs. Durmstrang, Beauxbatons sitting demurely on a bench, painting, tea, and most outrageously, a sweater.
How to say it, she is worthy of being a girl, and her hobbies are so quiet.
It's not the same as the group of boys who only know wild dogs, hey.
There are also many students in the castle who are busy, but not to decorate the auditorium - this job is done by the house-elves, and the students are mainly busy hugging Merlin's feet and aimlessly looking for a random dance partner.
Many people got together on an improvised basis, and Louis even saw the three sisters catch the junior boys and go to the dance with them.
The butterfly effect belongs to yes, and it stands to reason that the two of them should be Harry and Ron, but due to the presence of Louis, the two brothers really have no shortage of dance partners.
It can't be said to be a butterfly, Louis's size, no matter how you say it, it has to be an eagle.
Back in the office, Eagles is dragged aside by Emma, and Catherine takes Christasza back to her bedroom.
Looking at his mother, who was wearing a regular dress, Louis couldn't help asking, "Why, didn't anyone invite you to the ball?" ”
"I'm not interested in this kind of social occasion." Emma replied with a sting.
Louis showed a look of sudden realization, pointed to his mother and said, "You must have said this without being invited, just like the fox who can't eat grapes in the fable......"
"Don't say that, master." Sakuya immediately relieved Emma: "Actually, there are many senior classmates who come to invite Madame, but she didn't agree, you underestimate her charm too much." ”
"According to the seniority, you should actually call her the old lady, Sakiya." Louis said casually.
He could have died.
As soon as Louis finished saying this, Emma's ears were pinched.
"Little bunny, who do you say is old?" Emma's eyes were as sharp as knives, and Louis had no doubt that if he dared to say that Emma was an "old lady" again, I am afraid that if it wasn't for his mother, he would definitely be able to reproduce the famous scene of Yin Fan the Thunder.
Don't underestimate women's sensitivity to the word "old".
"It's just a title, Mom, Mom, you are light, your ears are about to fall off...... Louis hurriedly begged for mercy, and the compliments were sprinkled as if they didn't want money, "You are really young, and you don't walk with me like my mother, but like my sister......"
"Humph......" Emma twisted his ears and spread her hand, motioning for Sakuya to bring over the things on the desk.
Saki Ye agreed, walked over there, handed the things to Emma, Emma took it, looked at the things in her hand with some satisfaction, and said to the curious Louis: "This is sent by your grandfather to Emorys, look at it, the honorary commodore of the Royal Navy, and it seems that Sister Lilibel is really good to you." ”
Louis didn't react to who the "Sister Lilibe" in his mother's mouth was, and it took him a while to understand, isn't that my aunt?
Oh yes, although my mother is young, but her seniority is real, even Cousin Charlie, who is nearly fifty years old, has to obediently call Aunt Emma when he sees his mother.
Receiving the gold epaulette from his mother's hand, Louis suddenly remembered the famous joke.
"I remembered a joke, Mom." Louis said.
"Huh?" Emma raised an eyebrow, intrigued by what Louis said, "Tell me about it." ”
Louis coughed twice, suppressed the urge to laugh, and told his mother: "After a young man joined the army, he went home and asked his general's father: 'Dad, can I be a general in the future?' ’
His general's father, smiling and stroking his head, replied affirmatively: 'Of course, my good boy. ’
'Can I be a marshal?' The boy asked innocently again.
Who knew that his father immediately shook his head in the negative: 'Oh no no, it's impossible, the marshals also have their own sons'......"
Emma immediately understood the meaning of the sarcastic joke, and she was amused for a long time, and then said breathlessly: "It seems that this joke is also based on facts, and lo and behold, you have confirmed the joke perfectly." ”
"I really shed blood and sold my life for the Royal Navy...... Sold moe, okay? Louis gave his mother a blank look, "Some of the potions that Professor Snape gave to Grandpa before were used on the warship, and everyone said yes...... At least those old warships don't need to be repaired anymore, and they can save a lot of money, and they can't be justified without giving me some rewards, right? ”
As he spoke, Louis looked into the open bag and saw the military dress.
"I said, does this have a sense of hand-picking?" Louis picked up the low-key luxury bag, "Besides, at the ball of the wizarding world, it's not good to wear a military uniform, right?" ”
"Your family's rules, you ask me?" Emma is well versed in the law of hair grafting, and throws the pot out with a rhetorical question.
Louis spread his hands and said that he couldn't say that he was his own mother.
To be honest, it is not outrageous to suddenly parachute an honorary brigadier general to bring Ying, I think when my grandfather joined the army, he was not less ridiculed as "a royal cub born with an officer's armband", and now it can be regarded as having his grandfather and his grandchildren.
Sakuya took the bag from Louis's hand, opened the package with ease, and pulled out the particularly low-key and luxurious military dress - the clear-eyed Louis could see at a glance that it was obviously a simplified version of the Royal Navy Marshal's dress.
There is also a small note, which was written by Grandpa, which means that this was worn by Grandpa back then, and it was passed to Louis, don't let Louis embarrass him.
"It's my grandfather's style." Louis sighed, pulled the gold wire ornament on his chest, and said very resistantly, "No, I definitely don't wear this outfit to the ball, what's the matter, this is not a wedding......"
"I'm okay." Emma walked over and sat down, took a sip of hot tea, "I suggest you listen to your grandfather, otherwise, the old man will be very angry." ”
Louis waved his hand nonchalantly: "Don't worry, Mom, he can't come to the ball, how can he know what I'm wearing?" If you don't say it, I don't say it, who knows? ”
"But your grandfather told me to record your dancing heroics." As she spoke, Emma pulled out a VCR out of nowhere, "Look, I asked Professor Dumbledore to modify it for me, so it can be used smoothly in Hogwarts......
"Is there such a pit for your son?" Louis complained weakly.
Emma covered her mouth and chuckled, "Don't you see a mother like this?" ”
What you say makes so much sense, I'm speechless...... Louis could only give his mother two thumbs up, and silently recited in his heart that ginger is still old and spicy.
Of course, he would never dare to say such a thing, otherwise his mother would definitely put a front teeth stick on him and let him go to the ball, which would be more than worth the loss.
He really never expected that only Ron would encounter this dilemma, but Ron's trouble was solved by his two brothers, but no one helped solve it himself.
Just in embarrassment, the bedroom door opened, and Catherine, dressed in full costume, walked out of the house, and Emma said with a smile on the side: "See, you are not as generous as Catherine." ”
Again, Emma's perspective couldn't see Catherine's right hand pinned behind her, nervously clutching her skirt.
Catherine is essentially a conservative girl, and although the dress is one-shouldered, it is a fake two-piece green evening dress with a white vertical striped shirt, which blocks the beautiful scenery from view; Her collar was preceded by a large green and white bow, her favorite color and the color of Slytherin House; The gown was well closed, showing off her slender waist and her delicate curves in front of Louis.
On Catherine's arms are the same long-sleeved white lace gloves as ever, which are also the same as the green bow headdresses on both sides, which are decorations that cannot be touched by thunder for thousands of years.
Louis was indeed amazed, Catherine was already a beautiful woman, and after such a dress, she looked even more beautiful to the extreme.
No matter how many times you have seen it, there is always something that you can't get enough of.
Of course, Catherine also saw Louis's somewhat straight eyes, she was very satisfied, and she turned around lightly with her skirt, and asked with a smile: "How is it, is it good-looking?" ”
"Hiss......" Louis sniffled and praised it: "Good-looking, very good-looking!" ”
"Hmph." Catherine snorted in satisfaction, walked up to Louis, and saw that he was still dressed in a Hogwarts school uniform robe, and couldn't help but frown slightly, "Why haven't you changed your clothes yet?" ”
"This is for your good boyfriend, who refuses to change the dress that his grandfather prepared for him." Emma said coolly, "When you were changing clothes in the house, he kept squirming and telling me that he didn't want to change his clothes. ”
"Oh?" Catherine's curiosity came up, and she asked puzzledly, "Is that dress ugly?" But come to think of it, the age gap between Xiaolu and grandpa is so big, there must be a generation gap in aesthetics, maybe he really can't appreciate it? ”
Louis was so moved that Catherine's first thought was to justify him, such a good girl was really hard to find with a lantern.
"Wow, Sakiya." Emma stretched out her slender fingers and drew a circle in the air: "Go, pick up that dress and show Catherine whether there is a generation gap between her fawn and grandpa's aesthetics, or if this fawn doesn't know what to do!" ”
Of course, Sakiya would not disobey Emma's orders, and she picked up the dress to show Catherine, who changed her position almost instantly.
"I don't care what you think, you have to wear this outfit to the prom with me today!" Catherine's eyes flashed with indescribable determination, which scared Louis a little, the last time I saw her so resolute, it was when she was learning lightning spells - no, even Catherine at that time was not as fanatical as she is now.
"Sooner or later, my reputation will be ruined in the hands of my grandfather." Louis sighed and beckoned to Sakiya, "Let's go, let's go in and change clothes......"
This tone has a feeling of being sluggish and cold.
"Keep an eye on him, don't let him run." Emma added to Sakiya.
Louis looked back helplessly, is the trust between people so fragile?
How could she not run away on such a big day, otherwise Catherine would not have to chase and kill herself all over the world with her wand?
Psychological resistance is resistance, but in fact, Louis's actions are relatively honest, and with the help of Sakiya, it took him more than half an hour to finally put this set of navy dresses on his body.
Of course, the epaulettes are worn by brigadier generals, not grandfather's marshal epaulettes - grandpa is not dead yet, how can he take the position so quickly, and besides, even if he is a young man in the world, he is not old enough......
Unless he can suddenly ascend to the throne, he usually doesn't think about it.
This brigadier is still looking at the savings of billions of pounds a year, plus the aunt's doting on him.
