The Lonely Dragon of Hogwarts

Lopez Estate exterior.

“This place is absolutely crazy!”

Draco, who was walking towards the palace hall, said scornfully, "I don't understand, why do we have to attend such a lowly banquet of the nouveau riche?"

Lucius and Narcissa walking in front of him were also looking at their surroundings.

They actually regretted it a bit.

After all, the style of a manor can, to a great extent, highlight the character and taste of its owner.

To be honest, the style of this Lopez Manor is really...hard to describe in words.

From this we can imagine what a vulgar upstart the countess who invited them would be.

But there is no way, it’s coming.

And the gift given by the other party really satisfied the Malfoy couple.

"Okay, stop whining and come in quickly."

Narcissa patted Draco on the back and said, "We are just here for a formality. We will show up and leave quickly."

Draco snorted impatiently before following the Malfoys into the palace hall.

The scene inside made the three Malfoys frown even more tightly.

There is no other reason.

Although the reception specifications here are strictly arranged according to the French ball dinner, the guests who appear here cannot.

With just a glance, Lucius saw several descendants of pure-blood wizards who had fallen into the mud.

Trash like this is usually excluded from his social circle.

As a result, she was now in the same room with him, attending the same party.

This is really insulting.

Lucius and Narcissa looked at each other, with a hint of anger on their faces.

The reaction of others in the hall was exactly the opposite.

Seeing the Malfoy family appear, many people showed expressions of surprise.

"Oh my God! Mr. Malfoy! You're here too!"

A fat wizard with a stout figure and a shiny face came over with a scream.

But he had just taken a few steps when he was tripped by another thin man.

"Please allow me to introduce myself, Dear Mr. Malfoy! I am Ike Butt, I..."

The thin man continued to talk in front of Lucius.

His attitude was not bad, but it was a pity that Lucius didn't want to see him at all.

Lucius knew very well that this guy was from the Bute family.

The Bute family was once glorious.

But after their ancestor named Albert Bute was dismissed in 1752 for mishandling the goblin rebellion, the entire Bute family declined.

Such a guy has no right to be friends with the Malfoy family.

And there are many people like Butt.

Seeing more and more people chattering around, Lucius and Narcissa were very irritable.

Draco even took out a handkerchief and covered his mouth and nose with disgust.

It's like being in a smelly and dirty environment.

"Get out of the way! Let me receive the distinguished guests in person!"

At this moment, a moving female voice sounded.

The crowd dispersed immediately.

The Countess was revealed walking quickly.

"Mr. Malfoy, Mrs. Malfoy, and of course, dear little Malfoy, you are finally here!"

The Countess smiled softly and held out her hand to Lucius.

Lucius had no intention of shaking hands or saluting the other party.

He held the snake-head staff in both hands and said calmly:

"We are glad to see you too, Countess."

The Countess was not in the least embarrassed by the rejection.

She retracted her hand very naturally, with a bright and gentle smile still on her face.

"That's very kind of you, Mr. Malfoy!"

The countess said, "Please come with me! Let me introduce you to the Lopez Manor in detail.

I spent a lot of time and money on it! "

As she spoke, the Countess led the Malfoy trio toward the palace.

She did not lie.

Lopez Estate is truly her labor of love.

Everything in the manor is an expensive treasure carefully selected by her.

Taking people to visit the manor is a necessary task she has to do for every new guest.

She felt this would more effectively demonstrate her wealth and power.

At the same time, listening to the guests' exclamations and watching their shocked expressions also greatly satisfied her vanity.

It can be said that she has tried this trick repeatedly.

However, the Malfoys did not accept this trick.

Lucius frowned and glanced at the decoration in the palace hall, then frowned and said:

"Forget it, countess. You must have something important to ask for after spending so much money to invite us here. So just tell me and don't waste any more time."

Narcissa and Draco also looked impatient.

It looked like he was about to leave immediately after finishing his work.

This made the countess breathe a little faster.

She didn't expect Malfoy to be so arrogant and unwilling to give her even such a small amount of face.

But she couldn't afford to offend the Malfoy family.

Finally, she adjusted her mood, forced out a smile, and said flatteringly:

"Oh! Look what you said, I just want to get to know you."

"Then I know him now." Lucius sneered disdainfully, "In that case, let's go."

"and many more!"

The countess said eagerly, “Actually, she is my daughter!

She has always wanted to get to know little Master Draco!

Her father is no longer here, so as a mother, I have to fulfill my daughter’s wishes.

Please, just meet her, okay? "

Hearing this, the dissatisfaction in Lucius and Narcissa's hearts became even stronger.

What is said is to fulfill the daughter's wish.

Aren't you thinking about marrying into the Malfoy family?

They saw through this idea at a glance.

However, due to the countess's attitude being too humble and there being so many people watching around, Lucius had no choice but to wave his hand irritably, signaling the countess to hurry up.

The countess was overjoyed when she saw this, and quickly called for Alice to come up.

Soon, he was accompanied (escorted) by two alchemy dolls.

Alice, wearing a gorgeous dress and a formulaic smile, slowly appeared in front of people.

A series of exclamations immediately erupted from the guests.

Even Lucius and Narcissa must admit that Alice's appearance is really good.

Draco was stunned for a moment when he saw Alice, and then couldn't help laughing.

"What's wrong, Draco?"

Narcissa asked with concern.

"Mom, that's my classmate, her name is Alice."

Draco smiled evilly, "I'm telling you, she's not an ordinary person."

As soon as he said this, Lucius also cast his gaze over.

Under the gazes of the two of them, Draco told all the stories about Alice's violent beating of Flint at Hogwarts and her weird personality.

This caused Lucius and Narcissa's newly relaxed brows to frown again.

The Countess' expression was also very ugly.

The direct members of the Lopez family are all extreme monsters.

She originally wanted to 'sell' Alice as soon as possible while the war was not taking place just now.

But I didn't expect that this little monster would show up so early.

Her brain was working rapidly, and she began to think about how to cover up this matter.

On the other side, Alice was stunned when she saw Draco.

She never expected that the buyer the woman found for her was actually the Malfoy family.

After being stunned for several seconds, she seemed to have thought of something, and the smile on her face became brighter.

"Cough-cough-"

She coughed twice, attracting the attention of Draco and others, "Malfoy, John is here too."

"John?"

A flash of surprise suddenly flashed across Draco's face, "John is here too!? Quick! Take me to find John!"

Lucius and Narcissa looked at each other, their eyes a little bright.

Their expressions at this moment were exactly the same as those of the fallen pure-blood wizards when they discovered the arrival of the Malfoy family!

Alice breathed a subtle sigh of relief, and then walked out of the hall on her own.

The Malfoys quickly followed.

The Countess was left standing there blankly.

"what's going on?"

The Countess murmured, "Who is this John? Why did the arrogant Malfoys have such a big reaction when they heard his name?"
