Chapter 486 Christmas Gift
The annual Christmas Eve is a day for family reunion.
That afternoon, the Death Eaters came to the Malfoy Family Manor and had a reunion dinner before heading to Hogwarts Castle.
"This is……"
"Dumplings, made of mutton."
Miao Erfu and others looked at Jack incredibly, how could they eat this today?
Jack said seriously, “I eat dumplings for Christmas at home.”
Miao Erfu whispered unhappily: "This is my home."
No one paid attention to him, and the Death Eaters' eyes moved back and forth between a plate of dumplings in front of them and Jack.
In the eyes of Rodolphs and others, Muggles like Jack are no different from domestic elves. Eating dishes made by Muggles is the same as eating domestic elves.
However, it is a bit out of line for the house elves to decide on Christmas Eve dishes.
At this time Voldemort said, "Eat it, I made it together."
Miao Erfu lowered his head. It’s not that he had never eaten dumplings, but when he thought of the Dark King rolling out the dumpling skins...
He immediately empty his head. If the Dark King knew what he was thinking, it would turn into dumpling stuffing.
When Rodolphs and others heard the order of the Dark King, they reluctantly forked the dumplings with a fork.
There are important things to do later, so don’t be hungry.
"Um?"
All those who ate the dumplings suddenly widened their eyes, and Voldemort was no exception.
They found that this plate of dumplings was the best thing they had ever eaten in their life, and they had eaten them before.
Jack felt a little distressed. Eleanor rarely prepared delicious potions after work, so he would only give Charles a regular win over Dementor. He finally picked a little out of the Dementor's mouth, and today he used it in the dumpling filling.
The most disgusting thing is that Tom, who didn’t roll out the dumpling skins properly, actually ate them secretly!
Jack didn't know what would happen tonight, nor did he know if Tom would be angry on the spot after knowing the truth of that power, so he could only give him a good meal.
He couldn't help but think that his own people are pretty good.
When night fell, the Death Eaters were overeating, and there was no soup left to cook dumplings, so they had to postpone the action for half an hour.
"Merry Christmas."
Jack handed Voldemort a gift bag made of a pillowcase, and there was a ribbon from where I didn't know where it came from.
Voldemort reacted for a while and said incredibly: "What gift did you give me?"
He can't remember how many years he hasn't received Christmas gifts. The last time he received Christmas gifts was still given by his boss when he was working in Bojin-Boke Magic Store.
Jack nodded and said, "Yes, Christmas is here."
Voldemort looked straight in his eyes, only seeing sincerity, without the flattery and fear of other Death Eaters when giving gifts.
Open the bag and there was a black top hat inside.
Jack said, "I bought it new, originally planned to wear it myself, but I haven't worn it yet."
"It's cold, I'm worried that your head will catch a cold, so I'll give it to you."
The Death Eaters around him were so scared that their feet were trembling. No one had dared to talk about the Dark King's hairstyle for so many years.
Voldemort suddenly felt that his nose had been sore after running away from home for many years. It was the first time that someone cared about whether his head was cold or not.
He picked up his hat and looked at it, put it on his head, very warm.
The Death Eaters regarded it as if they had not seen it, and reassessed Jack's position in the Dark Lord's heart.
When the time came to action, Voldemort stood up from his chair and said to Jack, "Let's go, I'll take you to Hogwarts Castle."
Jack is an important hostage, and it is important guarantee for whether Charles takes them to that place tonight.
Jack was a little curious, how did they enter Hogwarts Castle?
Tonight Hogsmeade was newly decorated by residents. There is a tall Christmas tree in front of each store. The lanterns stretch from one end of the tree to the other. The colorful lights decorate the village in the snow. Beautiful.
Residents throughout the village and some officials from the Ministry of Magic gathered at the Dancing Grass Restaurant, and Black paid for a grand Christmas dinner, mainly inviting werewolfs from all over the world and family members who were treated at St. Mungo Hospital. .
Fudge likes this kind of activity very much, brings his family to attend, has a cordial conversation with the werewolf in front of the camera, and also chats with a child from Monaco.
Percy kept following the minister, moving his position quietly to ensure that his face appeared in every photo of the minister.
Ambrossus Frum, the owner of the Honey Duke, and his wife distributed candy boxes to young guests from abroad. They were all delicious and fun, and there was also a business card for the candy shop.
Lupin did not join in the fun with the minister and was at the same table with Black.
Dinner time was not yet reached, and the two of them just ordered drinks.
Black chatted with Lupin for a while, looked at his watch, and said, "Oh, time is up, I wish you a happy evening."
After he said that, his eyes slanted towards the Auror, and a playful smile appeared on his face, where a female Auror was turning her hair colorful.
Lupin asked him, "Which lady are you going to date now?"
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
"Tonight, play with the young people from Falbaton Castle."
"You know, I feel much younger when I'm with them."
Lupin looked at him seriously and asked, "You disappeared some time ago. Did you go on a date with a lady?"
Before Black could answer, Rita Skitter came over.
Tonight Rita was wearing a beautiful dress, with a clutch hanging on her hands, and a laptop she usually used for interviews.
She greeted Black and asked, "Blake, did you get cured of your cold after returning from Nordic?"
Black replied politely: "The medicines from St. Mungo Hospital are more suitable for me."
Lupin widened his eyes from the side, and if he could, he could be bigger than the plate containing fruit on the table.
Rita and Black chatted for a few words before leaving. Lupin asked incrediblely, "It's her?!"
Black didn't react at first and said, "I went to Dham with her..."
"Hey!" He found that Lupin had misunderstood, "Don't think about it, she and I were just going to cause trouble for a Death Eater. Charles arranged it. If you don't believe it, go and ask him."
Lupin showed a smile that made Black crazy on his face, and nodded, "Yes, yes, I'll ask him when Charles recovers his memory."
Black thought of the evidence that he had no relationship with Rita, shrugged and said, "At worst I'll let you see my correspondence records with him, but now I'm not available, I'm going to Falbaton Castle."
He now wants to run away quickly so that Lupin will not make up for more messy things and then attract Dumbledore.
At this time, Arthur Weasley and Molly Weasley came out of the fireplace and strengthened Black's determination to run away. If Molly heard Lupin's nonsense, it would be over.
But there are constant customers coming out of the fireplace. In order to prevent people from running away or causing trouble, the restaurant is not allowed to move and illusion, so it can only leave the restaurant gate first.
Walking from the warm dining room to the cold outdoors, Black suddenly woke up.
The sky was completely dark, and it was quiet everywhere, and there was a sound of footsteps in the distance.
Black didn't care and moved to Falbaton Castle, preparing to set out to rescue Jack.
More than ten minutes later, Miao Erfu opened the back door of the Honey Duke Candy Shop, and a group of mermaids entered one after another and went straight to the cellar.
Someone knocked on the floor a few times, and then the agreed-upon knock sounded under the floor.
The secret passage is fine, and the operation to sneak into Hogwarts Castle officially began.
