The Harry Potter Show Teaser

Chapter 275 Banquets and Conflicts

Horace Slughorn is a wizard who pays great attention to ostentation. Most of the people he associates with are at least in the category of "celebrity", and this Christmas feast is his first since his comeback. So it is very obvious that the whole venue looks very gorgeous.

The curtains of various colors are layered next to the golden chandelier in the center of the roof, making the whole venue show various hazy colors.

A few very ancient classical musical instruments automatically played beautiful music scores, while the Weird Sisters group sang loudly on the stage. The house elves shuttled through the crowd without stopping for a moment, One after another exquisite snacks were delivered to the guests.

Many wizards were chatting and laughing enthusiastically, at least on the surface, the atmosphere of the whole meeting place was particularly harmonious... except for the small piece of ground near the French windows of the balcony.

There stood a lonely nobleman with a stern face. His black cloak obscured his elegant and luxurious dark red dress. Only when he raised a glass to drink with others, his sleeves embroidered with gold and inlaid with gold silk were exposed. A gleaming sapphire cuff button just shows that it is not ordinary.

Except for the etiquette that he should show when someone comes over, most of the time he quietly looks at the commotion around him with a blank face, looking out of place, and his pale face and bright red eyes are all obvious. His true identity: Blood Race.

Or, let's be blunt - vampires.

However, his appearance of refusing people thousands of miles away has greatly attracted a group of people.

"Blood, the charm of your vampire is becoming more and more attractive. Look at the expressions of those little witches... tsk tsk tsk..." Elder Walpole poked the vampire with his elbow and said in an envious tone, Then he said in a solemn tone: "You can't suck blood here."

"Yeah."'Xue Ni' responded lightly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, come, I would like to introduce you grandly," Elder Walpole was very satisfied with the answer of Bloody, and he clapped his hands lightly to attract the attention of a group of people, then cleared his throat and opened his mouth Said: "This is the vampire mentioned in my book "Blood Brothers: I Live Among Vampires", Xueni! Don't be so afraid, come here, Xueni is still very kind, and he He also promised me that he would not..."

But Elder Walpole hadn't finished speaking when he was squeezed away from 'Blood Ni' by a group of girls, who were chattering and asking various questions to 'Blood Ni'.

And 'Blood Ni' just looked at Elder Walpole, who was stunned not far away, with a distorted expression, as if asking him what to do.

"Let's have some harmless blood magic, since they want to see it." Elder Walpole squeezed back to the side of 'Blood Ni', smiling and paying tribute to the witches, while squeezing out such a sentence through his teeth .

"En." 'Xue Ni' still said these words in a calm tone, and then he waved his black cloak, and at some point in his white hand, there was a blood-red crystal bottle.

When he opened it, the fishy-sweet smell spread out all of a sudden, and then he didn't see him take out the wand, but with a light wave of the other hand, a strange-looking little bat flew out of the crystal bottle fiercely. Flying and spinning around.

"Fire Dragon's Blood." 'Blood Ni' said to Elder Walpple, who was nervous, "I just had my fill."

"Huh..." Elder Walpole breathed out a long breath, and then the smile returned to his face, and he slapped his hands and said, "Is Blood Ni's magic wonderful?"

"It's just a trick." A wizard said loudly to his female companion who was constantly looking here, "It's flashy."

"Shua..." The little bat slammed into the man's face with a piercing sound. Before he could exclaim, it had already turned into a scarlet blood blade, pointing at the man's face. The witch's face, but when it was about to touch the eyeballs, it stopped for an instant, and it just stayed in front of the wizard's eyes.

"That's not it." The indifferent tone of 'Xue Ni' sounded not far away.

"Very beautiful blood magic." Slughorn slapped his hands and moved over, controlled the blood blade with his wand from the air, and looked at it with interest: "But..."

"Here it is for you, the host of the banquet." Bloody's voice interrupted Slughorn's words indifferently, and then he quickly waved his hand, and the crystal bottle he just held in his hand made a sound of breaking. Fly towards the old man.

"...Oh, thank you so much." Slughorn was about to raise his wand to control it, but the crystal bottle was already firmly in front of him. The blood that had turned into a ball in the air was put back into the crystal bottle, and walked over with a smile: "Fresh fire dragon blood, this is really a great gift."

'Blood Ni' nodded slightly, took out another crystal bottle that was already emitting a stench before the cork was opened, and continued to perform his blood magic.

"Hermione! Look! There are vampires!" At this moment, a strange female voice suddenly sounded, and then the sound of high-heeled shoes stepping on the ground was heard quickly, followed by a whining sound of complaints. : "How can you say 'vampire' in front of him, he will be angry!"

"Um, I was excited just now." Parvati said with a smile, sticking out her tongue, and then saw the serious face of 'Xue Ni' coming over, her expression became a little frightened, and her voice changed: "How can he hear that?" Are you here?"

"This blood relative, please forgive my companion, she was just talking for a while." Hermione instantly drew out her wand and stood in front of Parvati, looking nervously at the 'Blood Ni' who was slowly approaching.

"I..." Just as 'Xue Ni' spoke, another male voice rang out: "What are you doing!"

Then Harry left his female companion, Luna Lovegood, and quickly trot to the front of the two women, also drew out his wand and looked at 'Blood Ni' warily.

"...Harry Potter, I know you, I read about you in the book." 'Blood Ni' looked at Harry's guarded look and said something in a strange tone, then ignored him and turned to the guard Just as the two women were about to speak, another rough voice sounded: "What are you going to do to the ladies of Hogwarts!"

As soon as the words fell, a thick Gryffindor wizard brutally pushed Harry aside who was stupefied, stood in front of 'Blood Ni' and roared angrily at him, then quickly turned his head and showed a smile to the two girls. Sunny smiling face: "Leave it to me!"

"..." 'Xue Ni' looked at the boy and frowned, looked over his shoulder and glanced at the two girls behind him, turned around and slowly walked back to his original position.

"Are you scared? Stinky bat!" Seeing the vampire leaving, the boy immediately laughed triumphantly and heartily.

"No! McLaggen!" Hermione hurriedly wanted to stop her, but she was a step too slow. The vampire named Bloody, who was about to leave, had already stopped and turned back slowly. body.

"Oh, no, Bloody." Elder Walpole quickly opened his hands to block the expressionless Blood Race.

"Elder Walpple...Are you trying to shield him?" 'Blood Ni' lowered his head and stared straight at the wizard wearing thick glasses with a pair of scarlet pupils.

"No! I didn't, but you have to understand that he's just a child." Elder Walpole shook his head quickly, but he didn't move his arms, and said sharply with sweat dripping from his forehead .

"..." 'Blood Ni' looked at Elder Walpole's stern look, and slowly stretched out his hand from under the cloak, and a black mist full of bloody smell gathered on his pale hand little by little , constantly leaping as if breathing.

"Professor Slughorn!" A very happy male voice suddenly rang out, breaking the tense atmosphere in the banquet.

Only when Bloody looked over did he realize that it was Filch who made the sound. He was twisting Draco's ear and dragging him to Slughorn, saying in a triumphant and crazy voice : "I found this boy hiding in the corridor upstairs, did you send him an invitation?"

Malfoy wrenched free from Filch's grip, looking distraught.

"Okay, I wasn't invited," he said angrily, "I want to break in, are you happy?"

"No, I'm not happy!" said Filch, which did not match the smug look on his face. "You're in trouble! Didn't the headmaster say you're not allowed to walk around at night without permission? Huh?"

"It doesn't matter, Argus, it doesn't matter," Slughorn waved his hand impatiently, then looked at this side and said loudly: "Christmas, let's forget it this time, after all, Principal Dumbledore sent this vampire When I came here, I said that he would stay if he wasn't busy... It's not wrong to want to attend the banquet, Draco, you can stay."

"..." 'Blood Ni' turned his eyes back to Slughorn, and seeing him staring at it, he pondered for a long time before bowing his head to Elder Walpple and said: "Elder Walpole, I'll go around."

"How can you! No...I mean, you will get lost in Hogwarts if no one guides you. There are all kinds of traps here!" Elder Walpole immediately denied it, As soon as he said it, he immediately changed his tone and softly comforted him.

"He took me." Bloody pointed at Draco, who was arguing with Snape, with a white finger.

"...if he is willing." Elder Walpole said with a depressed face.

"This professor, I need him to lead the way." 'Blood Ni' didn't say anything more, and went straight to Snape, grabbed his waving left arm, and Snape's eyes changed when he looked here.

"You..." Snape frowned slightly and looked at his arm, then at the vampire in front of him, his expression returned to its original state in a moment, and he said in an extremely indifferent voice: "Draco, go and bring This...strigoi turns around."

"Professor?!" Draco stared at Snape's expression in surprise, and then realized that he didn't mean to be joking, so he said dejectedly: "Yes, sir."

After the two walked out of the banquet hall, Harry walked to Hermione who had just gotten rid of McLaggen's entanglement with a serious expression, and said in a hesitant tone: "He, what he said just now..."

"What's wrong?" Hermione wondered as she fanned herself.

"Exactly as he said..." Harry hesitated for a while before opening his mouth slowly.

"Don't be stupid, remember what Professor Slughorn said just now?" Hermione gestured to Slughorn, who was chatting enthusiastically, with her eyes: "The professor just said that Professor Dumbledore sent him Sent it here, don't you think that Professor Dumbledore's level can't see Transfiguration or Polyjuice Potion?"

"That's what you said..." Harry curled his lips and nodded helplessly, "I'm a little nervous..."

"Have fun, I have to stay here for a while." Hermione glanced up and said softly, "Stay away from that idiot."

"It seems that your bad luck during the day hasn't completely left you..." Harry also imitated Hermione, scanning around, and said with a smile.

"I'm very satisfied! I drank a large bottle of Felix Felicia at Professor Slughorn's place. Although I still feel that it's not enough, the previous state of being unlucky for everything is over." Hermione said briskly. As she spoke, she rolled up her cuffs and showed Harry the bruise on her arm: "This is the last time, I believe my luck is coming soon."

"Maybe, that's all you lack. Would you like to try?" Harry took out his own bottle of Felicia and waved it in front of Hermione.

"No, I already vomited it!" Hermione quickly shook her head and waved her hands, looking at the disgusted expression on the crystal bottle in Harry's hand that glowed with golden light.

……

"Mr. Bloody, where are you going?" Draco listlessly led a vampire behind him wandering around in Hogwarts.

"...Go and see the cabinet you found." 'Blood Ni' looked around for a while, and immediately changed his voice when he found no one.

"You...you..." Draco pointed at 'Blood Ni' in shock, unable to utter a single word.

"Go, go, I don't have much time!" Weiss urged.

"This way please." Draco said quickly, and said as he walked, "I'm really shocked, after all, the owl I just sent you this afternoon..."

"Good luck, I happen to be not far away." Weiss shrugged in response.

"Actually, I saw Granger there just now, didn't you notice?" Draco asked casually while walking quickly.

"I see..." Weiss responded briefly, but didn't say anything more.

"That's right..." Draco didn't say much, and took Wes to the eighth floor.

"..." Weiss looked at the tapestry in front of him of the giant monster beating Barnabas with a stick, and looked at the stairs leading to the principal's office not far away, unable to speak for a long time.

Then, under Weese's gaze, Draco walked back and forth three times from the white wall opposite the tapestry...

A smooth door suddenly appeared in front of Weiss.

"This is the 'Room of Requirement', Mr. Kabrev, it's inside, I found it!" Draco said in a proud tone, then grabbed the brass handle and pushed it away forcefully.
