Chapter 148 Banquet

"What is this?" Hermione let out a cry of surprise.

"This is a cheongsam-style style costume in the East, do you like it?" Before Maple brought Hermione to the banquet, Maple prepared a blue cheongsam-style dress that looked like blue and white porcelain. Maple vaguely remembered that Hermione was wearing a flowing light purple blue gown when she attended the Goblet of Fire, so on top of Hermione's dress, Maple added another layer of light purple transparent tulle.

Although at this time, the culture with the characteristics of the Celestial Empire had not yet been sought after by foreigners with the rise of the Celestial Empire, this did not affect the beautiful things of the Celestial Empire to attract the attention of these people.

Maple had taken out a sample that had been designed twenty or thirty years later, and he could tell that Hermione liked the dress he had prepared.

Europeans like to start with a ball, and Maple naturally has a dress for her, even though Hermione's thirteenth birthday is not until a few months away.

"Have fun!" Maple wanted the Granger couple to attend the prom as well, but Emily probably wouldn't refuse. It's just that the Granger couple didn't agree, and just asked Maple to take Hermione alone. Before Maple and Hermione went out, the Granger couple said to them.

Maple and Emily contacted her by phone, and Maple told Emily and Granger the address of their home, and she sent a chauffeur to pick her up at the hotel.

Emily's driver was still a little curious when she specially explained that she was going to pick up someone, wondering what kind of big person the general manager wanted her to pick up, but she didn't expect that it was just two thirteen-year-old children, and she couldn't help but break her glasses.

After both Maple and Hermione got into the car, the driver was still looking for suspicious targets, and it wasn't until Maple reminded him that he could leave and pulled out an invitation written by Emily herself, that the driver finally believed that the two little kids in front of him were the ones he was going to pick up.

Bryce Carson was a competent driver, and after knowing that Maple was the person Emily was looking for, even though the other party was only thirteen years old, he did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and did all the courtesy.

Although the car at this time had the style of a modern car, it was really not up to grade compared to the car a few decades later.

Maple casually touched the wall of the car with the sleeve of his suit, and then the speed of the car immediately more than doubled, allowing Maple to reach their destination in less than half an hour.

Hermione gave Maple a displeased look, and Maple bowed her head weakly. However, after Hermione gave Maple a warning look, she didn't make a move to cancel the acceleration magic that Maple had cast on the car.

A wand was like a wizard's second life, and even when attending a banquet in Muggle society, Maple and Hermione carried it with them.

Seeing the driver's puzzled look after arriving at his destination, Maple silently changed his memory again.

The venue of the banquet was at the Kettle Hotel, and Emily took the whole hotel into place. After getting out of the car, led by Emily's driver, Bryce Carson, Maple and Hermione entered the hotel without taking out the invitation, but Maple and Hermione's thirteen-year-old age couldn't help but cause everyone to be stunned.

Although she had been in contact with the big boss Voldemort, this was the first time Hermione had experienced this kind of scene, which made her a little nervous about holding Maple's hand.

Maple shook her hand lightly as a gesture of comfort.

As amazing as Hermione is today, she is not the protagonist of today, and after curious people find out that Hermione is not the surname of some celebrity business tycoon, these people have little interest in Hermione.

If Maple had gone back to the past and became a self-made entrepreneur, he might have found some interest in such social banquets, but after seeing the magic of magic. He wasn't interested in any of that.

Although Maple and Hermione both had dresses, they were obviously not very good at dancing, but fortunately, no one on the scene was interested in the dance of the two thirteen-year-olds, as long as they were not in a prominent position in the center of the stage, they could dance as much as they wanted.

No one paid attention to them, but Maple and Hermione didn't care, eating food and chatting to themselves, as well as posting on social media.

After her initial apprehension, Hermione quickly became enthusiastic about the business-like prom. She found a place where no one was around, and sat down with Maple to learn magic.

While chatting with Hermione, Maple turned on his comm watch and passed the stereoscopic projection of him and Hermione to Harry and Mary.

Harry seemed to be bored at home, and was very excited to receive the image from Maple, and talked a lot to Maple Hermione. It's just that Mary's side seems to be mute, and the communicator is always on, but there is no sound or image coming from there.

Maple cast a spell so that the Muggles on the scene could not hear their voices or see the stereoscopic images transmitted by the communication watch.

"Long time no see, Emily! Let me introduce you, this is my girlfriend Hermione Granger! Hermione, this is the good friend of mine and Emily Jones who invited us to this banquet as I mentioned to you! It wasn't until Emily, the protagonist of the banquet, came to greet Maple that the crowd noticed Maple, a teenager they had ignored. As Emily approached, Maple and Hermione stopped talking, and Maple greeted Emily and introduced her and Hermione to each other.

Emily wore a crimson dress today and asked a well-known costume designer to create it herself. She has both the temperament of a successful person and the charm of a mature woman, and no one can shake her leading role today on the stage that belongs to her.

Emily had just rejected a marriage proposal from a brother from the Smith family. Emily refuses cleanly, knowing that the other party probably wants to get the Ray of Hope Company through this marriage.

How can there be such a cheap thing in the world, this Alan Smith is too naïve, Emily does not give the other party a chance to fantasize, and directly and forcefully refuses Allen's pursuit.

Although Eren still showed a humble and childish appearance when he retreated, Emily couldn't tell what the other party was thinking.

After such a disappointment, Emily was a little unhappy. Emily scanned the scene and was happy when she noticed Maple's arrival from an unoccupied corner.

She is so glamorous now, and she can have the stage of life now, all thanks to this inconspicuous-looking teenager, so she doesn't mind the surprised eyes of everyone present walking in the direction of Maple and talking to Maple cordially.

Emily was surprised to hear Maple say that Hermione was his girlfriend. But now that Emily has gone through the Vanity Fair experience, Emily's speed of changing face has also been practiced, and she quickly returned to normal, speaking to Hermione in a big sister tone that makes people feel very kind.

Emily talked to Maple and Hermione for a full hour, and after the feast, Emily left with them in the car. This caused a lot of people to reverie, but no matter how they inquired afterwards, they only found the ordinary information about the two of them, and as for how they got into a relationship with Emily, there was no news at all.

An orphan in an orphanage, the only daughter of a dentist, how did they get the favor of the president of Ray of Hope?

Everyone left with a stomach full of doubts, but the journey of Maple and Hermione was not smooth.

There were various accidents such as traffic jams or car accidents ahead, and Emily's driver had to change lanes several times.

Even a fool realized that something was wrong, and a "bang" of gunfire broke the silence of the scene.

After a few detours, they came to a less densely populated area, and then gunshots quickly rang out.

The first bullet broke the window next to Emily, shattering the glass directly under the impact of the bullet.

The Light of Hope company has only been established for two years, and Emily has never imagined that she will encounter such a brutal method, and her car windows are not specially made bulletproof glass.

After the window was shattered, the broken glass scratched Emily in the passenger seat. Fortunately, the bullet did not hit her body.

Emily's face was pale, frightened and frightened but not flustered. Her driver, however, was visibly frightened, and in a panic, the car swayed from side to side like a drunken strong man.

If he noticed the two thirteen-year-old passengers in the back row, all of them looked calm, I don't know if he would be ashamed and embarrassed.

Hermione was a little scared, but luckily Maple insisted on carrying her wand, otherwise, they really didn't know what to do in this situation.

If their pair of wizards, who even dared to fight Basilisk Voldemort, died under Muggle guns, it would be really ridiculous.

Seeing the driver's lame performance, Maple knocked him unconscious, and then used magic to stop the car.

"You come and go!" Maple said to Emily.

Emily quickly regained her composure, and it was only then that she realized that there was a real magician by her side, and she immediately felt much safer.

At this moment, after the car stopped, suddenly a gunman aimed at Emily's location.

The gangster's marksmanship was fine, but he was unlucky enough to run into two wizards. The bullet he fired slowed down quickly as it approached Emily, then deflected a little more and flew away in a swerving corner from Emily's side.

Emily naturally noticed this scene, and while sighing at the magic of magic, Emily immediately understood that her safety was absolutely guaranteed.
