Chapter 226 Dark Tide and Bustling Greengrass Manor

On weekdays, there are not many magical animals in the valley of Greengrass Manor. The most common here are nothing more than ordinary birds, hares, and perhaps a few rat snakes.

But today, in order to welcome Christmas, Mr. Henry ordered a batch of fluorescent deer, fairies, little golden bugs and white peacocks from somewhere, and put them in the valley to make the valley more Christmas-like.

Looking at the lively valley, Les nodded: Mr. Henry did a pretty good job on the details!

"Speaking of which, it seems that there are really not many magical animals here on weekdays?" Les heard footsteps coming from behind him. He didn't need to look back to know that it must be Daphne and Astoria. The Henrys are now decorating the manor outside the main house and preparing to receive guests. They will not appear here at all.

Sure enough, Daphne's voice rang out: "There are still quite a few tree protectors, nifflers, flobberworms and the like, and there may be goblins?"

"No, Doudou will definitely not allow goblins to appear at home." Astoria's voice also appeared.

Doudou is the house elf of the Greengrass family, and is now supervising the chefs in the kitchen.

"I mean large magical animals, such as unicorns, thestrals, griffins, etc." Les turned around, and two figures, one silver and one green, came into view.

Today is an extremely important occasion, and Daphne and Astoria must also take it seriously, so the two sisters also changed into brand new dress robes. The robes of the two are of the same style, but in different colors. Les also noticed that the two of them changed into high heels with bow ribbons hanging from the heels, which made them look taller and slimmer.

It can be seen that they dressed up seriously. Les was the same. He changed into a green dress robe he had prepared before, with silver sleeves. There was no excessive decoration on the robe, which looked very simple, but when he wore it, it matched his temperament quite well.

Before the guests arrived, various branches of the Greengrass family began to arrive one after another.

Les stood by the window and watched Henry and his wife welcome a group of colorful wizards into the mansion. Daphne stood beside him and whispered to him about the origins of these people.

"That's my aunt's family. They moved to France a few years ago. They look like tomboys, but they are actually nice people. They have been married twice and have given birth to a child, my cousin and my younger cousin, both of whom are interesting people."

"That old woman is my great-aunt. She is a very annoying person. Don't tell her any gossip!"

"This... I don't remember clearly. It seems to be my mother's relative - oh, it's my distant cousin who lives in Switzerland. His father and my grandmother are brothers and sisters. His father is not an ordinary person. He followed Grindelwald when he was young. He still wears a necklace with Grindelwald's mark on his neck. This is not pleasing."

Daphne reported the identity and characteristics of each group of guests in a row - those complicated and difficult names are the easiest to remember. In this regard, she showed an amazing memory.

Les looked at Daphne in surprise: This girl has such a good memory? It seems that she can be given more responsibilities in the future...

Poor little Daphne didn't know that she was arranged so clearly.

Noisy sounds gradually came from downstairs. Obviously, relatives from all walks of life had entered the Greengrass mansion.

Daphne glanced at Astoria and motioned her to quickly lock the door of Les' bedroom.

"I'm too lazy to meet those guys. Every time I have to put on a stern face, make a hypocritical smile, say insincere words, and then watch them do the same thing. I'm so annoyed-" Daphne complained endlessly, and Les looked at her with a smile: This child is a qualified heir to the family.

And her remarks seemed to have been heard somewhere by me. Oh, it was Adrian...

【Teacher, it's so annoying to receive those noble guests and relatives. They are not good people. They are smiling faces facing you, but knives behind your back. I really don't want to deal with those guys anymore! Even if the countess and baronesses they brought are beautiful, I won't go. It's too tiring! 】

In his memory, the girl in front of him and a high-spirited boy gradually overlapped.

They are really alike... Wait, no! They are just a little similar in their attitude towards socializing!!!

Les was shocked by himself: What the hell is Adrian, and how can he compare with Daphne? These two can't be alike! Back off, back off, back off! He pulled the figure of the boy out of the image of Daphne in his mind, rolled it into a ball, and threw it out.

Adrian is Adrian, Daphne is Daphne, and they have nothing in common except that they both have the last name Greengrass, yes!

Les strengthened his belief: A student like Adrian is enough!

As night fell, the guests began to show up in batches.

The first to arrive were the Weasley family and the Potters. The Weasley family was really prosperous, and the moment they appeared, they even dyed the valley red. Looking from a high place, it even seemed like a ball of fire was burning in the valley.

Behind the Weasleys appeared a middle-aged man with immaculately ironed clothes and a mustache that looked like it had been trimmed with a slide ruler. As soon as he appeared, he started talking to Mr. Henry. However, it seemed that the two were not chatting about family matters, but handling official business.

After the workaholic, people from pure-blood families such as Malfoy, Flint, and Ollivander also began to appear one after another. In the end, even Minister of Magic Fudge appeared.

Greengrass Manor became completely lively.

There was a "pop" in the air, and the house elf Doudou appeared in the bedroom.

"Miss Daphne, Miss Astoria, you two should go out. The guests outside want to see you!" She bowed to the three of them first, and then reminded the Greengrass sisters in a shrill voice that they really shouldn't hide here anymore. If they didn't greet the guests, it would be a bit rude.

Daphne wanted to ask if Astoria could handle it, but she swallowed the words when she was about to speak to her - she knew it was impossible.

She could only sigh and leave the room with her sister.

As for Les, a nobody like him could stay here until the dinner started.

Meanwhile, another corner of the earth was as lively as Greengrass Manor...

In the warm banquet hall, dozens of men and women gathered together, enjoying the Christmas dinner slowly to the sound of music.

"Speaking of which, the action over there has also begun, right?" a voice sounded.

"Of course, Gemini, Pisces, Aries, and Taurus are probably in Azkaban now." Another voice replied.
