HP solves the mystery

Less than an hour after Tom agreed to hold the banquet, all his subordinates received the news.

Newspapers such as the Daily Prophet and The Quibbler also reported on the incident, but mixed in some of their own interpretations of the matter, so what was a good report became a forum for gossip.

The host of Magic TV vaguely mentioned this matter, and Litsky even wanted to bring his assistant into the manor to record the banquet.

This was of course impossible. Not to mention that Voldemort's manor was tightly guarded, but that group of Death Eaters were not easy to mess with.

People in the wizarding world are very gossipy, and they are especially concerned about specious things about nobles. Ordinary people discuss it a lot, and the Death Eaters also discuss it with shame.

"I think this is the lord paving the way for the little master. After all, she is an illegitimate daughter. If we don't make arrangements in advance, trouble may occur."

"Isn't it because the Wizarding Elementary School has been built and is about to open?"

"Silly! It must be to clear the name of the Demon King's wife!"

A group of people were chattering, and Lucius's bulging temples were beating.

"That's enough, I didn't come to you just to exchange gossip!" He slammed his hand on the table and gave these fools an annoyed look.

Lucius took a look around and found that they had finally cleared their minds of gossip and started to think about business.

But they were still curious about the Lord's purpose of holding the banquet, and stared at Lucius, wanting him to explain.

Lucius' scalp was numb from being stared at. Although he couldn't guess what the lord was thinking, he had to pretend to know in front of a group of colleagues.

"Lord just wants to celebrate my little master's birthday, don't talk nonsense about the rest." Lucius turned his face away, avoiding Bella's burning gaze, "Don't act too eager."

Nagini looks like she is five or six years old. The following people have children and nephews of the same age. She starts to think about who she wants to bring to the banquet. If the little master likes her, she will become her playmate or even her right-hand man. What will happen to her future prospects? will be unlimited.

But they forgot one thing, Nagini was not a real child.

Everyone's reactions were seen by Lucius, who was stroking his platinum hair with disdain in his eyes.

No matter how hard these people fight, can they compete with his lovely son? That's a child who has been with the lord for a while!

There were different opinions outside, but Voldemort's manor remained quiet.

When Sif heard that a banquet was going to be held, his first reaction was to take Haierbo away. They should not be here at this banquet.

"Why are you leaving?" Tom asked puzzledly, "It's just a birthday party."

Even though he didn't like holding banquets before he turned into a cat, and he didn't have the opportunity to attend banquets when he stayed with Sif after becoming a cat, he felt that it was normal to introduce Sif to his subordinates at the banquet.

Okay, maybe there was some selfishness in it, but Silver's determined attitude of leaving still made him a little hurt.

Sif had very complicated feelings about Tom. Seeing the handsome man frowning, he could only explain, "I don't like attending banquets. I never have."

At the banquet, he usually stayed in the corner to eat and drink, including the favor exchanges, false flattery, and wearing awkward clothes, dancing and drinking. But this time it was a banquet for Nagini, and he lived in the manor. awkward.

Tom touched his chin in confusion. He had forgotten how he felt when he attended the banquet for the first time. Now that he thought about himself when he first entered Slytherin, he was probably feeling uneasy.

Although it's a pity that I can't push Sifu to the table, I'm not in a hurry.

"If you feel noisy, you can take a stroll in the garden, and I will let Duoduo accompany you." Tom chose to respect Sif's wishes.

Sev was obviously relieved. He was ready to have a big fight with Tom and move out of the manor, but this is what happened?

Tom smiled silently, perhaps because he cared too much, so any action of the other party affected his mind.

And Sifu has never taken the initiative or refused. He will accept any great blessing he is given, and he looks like a scumbag.

But he knew that this was Sifu testing his bottom line step by step, and why wasn't he testing someone's bottom line?

"Helpo, you need to lend me a hand. There are so many people and I need his help to look after Nagini."

"Okay, but you have to ask his opinion yourself."

After the two of them finished speaking, they returned to the state of one reading a book and the other correcting documents.

Voldemort's manor was so big that at least two house elves took care of the flowers in the garden.

The house elves arranged the banquet venue in an orderly manner. It was the first time for the butler to experience a large banquet, and it was also a signal that Voldemort's manor had re-entered the social world, so he had to be more careful.

As a result, I was so excited that I didn't sleep all night. I went to work the next day with dark circles under my eyes. Fortunately, I drank a refreshing drink and looked okay.

Haierbo received strict training, practicing his manners and preparing the dress to wear under the guidance of his tutor.

He looked in the mirror at the butterfly tie on the small lapel that strangled his Adam's apple, as well as the Basil-style velvet suit jacket, waistcoat shirt and trousers. In addition to the corsage, he also had gemstones of various colors and other metal jewelry. If it hadn't been for him His expression was so bad that the butler on the side would continue to change the pocket watch he was wearing and dress him up as a jewelry display cabinet.

"Okay, Mr. Haierbo, put this ring on again, um, you are really handsome, sir." The butler couldn't help praising him, and for a moment he looked at the noisy mirror.

Halbo wanted to tear off his tie in annoyance, but thinking that Tom said it would lose Silver's face, he could only hold back his anger and pursed his lips into a straight line.

Next to her, Nagini was also being 'tortured'. Her black hair was tied behind her head by the make-up artist's skillful hands. The small crown she was wearing was sparkling, and the girdle of the Lolita princess dress she was wearing was inlaid with countless diamonds.

Nagini held up the hem of her skirt, which made it difficult to walk, and regretted asking Tom to hold a party.

"Butler, is it too late to cancel the banquet now?" Nagini looked at the plates of delicious food floating in front of her, tears of longing flowing from the corners of her mouth.

"No, Miss Nagini, the invitations have been sent out, and the banquet will start soon." The butler said heartbreaking words with a smile, and wiped the saliva from the corners of her lips with a handkerchief.

Sometimes it is a problem for the lady and the guests to eat too much. Mr. Helbo and the lady can eat the three days of food prepared by the manor every day.

In the eyes of the housekeeper, Helbo has been speaking parsel language instead of English, which just shows that he has a mysterious identity. Like Lord, he is a parselmouth and may be a descendant of Slytherin; and he can understand parsel language and has a small mouth. Nagini, who is very capable of speaking, has undoubtedly confirmed her identity as the lord's daughter.

As for the rumors that Halbo had snatched away Lord's lover, he didn't believe it, but he did believe it to the extent that Lord and Sif had a daughter - Nagini.

Lord has been missing for five years, and has similar black hair, black eyes and Parseltongue...

Fortunately, the butler just muttered in his heart that if he spoke out, his career would be over.

Nagini pursed her lips in disappointment, but she was no longer disappointed when she saw Haierbo, who had the same problem as him.

[Helbo, when the dance starts, you have to dance the first dance with me! 】 Nagini has watched the beautiful Tom for decades and has seen too many banquets. Now that there is a monster named Haierbo, of course she has to find him for the dance.

【don't want! You are too short! ] Haierbo loosened his collar and refused without hesitation, [I still have to bend over to dance with you, it’s too tiring! ! 】

Nagini put her hands on her hips and pointed at the mirror in front of Herbo, "If you don't dance with me, there will be many boys and girls pestering you. Not only will you not be able to eat, but they will also pester you and ask you if you want to have a baby." Several small snakes. 】

Halbo remembered the smell of the female snake he smelled in Borneo, and his body trembled. He looked down at Nagini who had just reached his thigh and gave in.

[Then please help me get rid of them. I don’t want to give birth to little snakes. 】

Nagini covered her mouth and snickered. Silly Haierbo was so funny.

When Voldemort's manor was decorated and the lights were bright, it also meant that the banquet was about to begin.

The theme this time was a children's birthday, so many wizards who came to the party brought a child.

The butler stood at the entrance of the manor to receive the guests, checked the invitations and then registered their names and gifts with a magic pen.

All the nobles from the wizarding world came, and even the senior executives of Universal Corporation and Muggle scholars did not come, but they sent generous gifts.

After Tom received a few people like Lucius, Walburga, and the head of the Carlo family, he left the hall to them.

Lucius and others were chatting in the hall, occasionally saying a few words to the new guests. People in the small family did not dare to think that the lord would come to the hall to receive them, so they felt more comfortable when no one was there.

The male guests and the female guests were divided into two groups and chatted separately. The children gathered in a circle where the desserts were placed. Lucius and Narcissa took over the lord's work, dealing with waves of people in the lobby to inquire about the latest news about Voldemort's manor. Muggle scholars and emerging wealthy people.

"Pansy, Blaise, long time no see, Goyle, don't eat too hastily, your nose is stained with butter..."

Draco chatted with his friends with a smile and tasted the snacks made by the manor elves.

When the guests were almost here, Tom took Nagini and Helbo to the hall.

The black-haired little lolita and the dark-green-haired enchanting young man immediately caught the attention of everyone in the hall. After verifying their guesses, they started whispering again.

Tom stood on the stage and pressed his hands down.

The audience became silent.

"It's an honor for everyone to come to the banquet..." Tom said a few words, and when he saw the different expressions of the people below, he changed the subject, "This is Nagini, the protagonist of the banquet, and this is Herbo, Nagini Friends... now I announce the start of the banquet..."

Lucius and the others were dumbfounded. They just said their first name. What about their surname and identity?

But when the lord said, they deserved to obey, and entered with the chosen dance and music.

Haierbo also bent down and took Nagini's chubby hand into the dance floor.

Tom raised his eyebrows when he saw this scene, and sat on the main seat without saying anything.

No one dared to invite Lord as a dance partner, and they did not see the legendary 'Devil King's Lady', so they could only look away in disappointment.

The ladies who had been paying attention to them exchanged glances with their husbands. The lord's daughter danced with the young man of unknown origin, and the lord did not stop her. This showed that their identities were really extraordinary.

When the dance ended, the wife, who had girls of the right age at home, was just about to join her, when the two of them started dancing again.

[Hiss, I’m afraid, these people look at me so strangely. 】 Haierbo murmured in a low voice, and at Nagini's signal, he raised his hand and asked her to turn in a circle.

[Because you are good-looking and not married yet. Suitable for giving birth to baby snakes. ] Nagini heard some knowledge about marriage from the etiquette teacher and understood the purpose of those people.

Haierbo was a little proud when he heard this, "Of course I look good. Not only do I look exactly the same as Salazar, I'm at least seventy percent similar. How can I not look good!" Not like you, a little douchi, hum. 】

Nagini rolled her eyes and stepped on Helbo's shoes, this stinky man.

Haierbo made a sound of pleasure without any pain, and decided to sneak out after the dance, not knowing what Tom wanted him to do.

As soon as Haierbo left, some adults came over with their children, and he was surrounded by a group of people again, but he was quickly defeated because he could only speak arrogantly in Parseltongue.

Nagini looked around at the children of all types, tall, short, fat and thin, and finally walked towards the more familiar little boy with shining hair.

[Little peacock, dance with me. ] Seeing the boy's eyes widening, Nagini quickly changed her words and said, "Draco, dance with me."

Draco was stunned when his toes were stepped on twice after dancing with Pansy, and he took Nagini's hand at the urging of Narcissa's eyes.

"I've seen you, the little peacock of the Malfoy family." Nagini stared into those gray-blue eyes and said astonishingly, "You love beauty as much as your father, and you even put more wax on your hair than others. "

Draco, who carefully observed Nagini, was choked and speechless. The little peacock of the Malfoy family? What kind of name is this? Although his family has a white peacock, it is the face of the family.

Moreover, in his previous life, he applied too much hair wax, which resulted in premature baldness. Now he is very careful about it, but it is not easy to style when attending a banquet without applying hair wax.

Nagini didn't know that her words almost made her autistic. She was walking hard on tiptoes.

However, she was still coveting Draco's golden hair, and after dancing, she pulled the child in front of Tom.

"Tom, look, why don't I have shiny golden hair?" She pointed to Draco's platinum hair and then to the black hair on the top of his head.

Tom looked at Nagini, who was about to change her hair color, and finally understood why she liked staring at Lucius when she was a snake. It turned out that she not only liked beauty, but also liked gold.

Tom looked at Draco, who was shaking and still insisting on saying good day to him, and raised a smile on his lips.

"Nagini, the Malfoy family's hair color is natural." He patted Draco's small shoulder and explained to Nagini, "And your black hair is very beautiful."

Nagini let go of Draco's hand, puffed up her little face and acted coquettishly at Tom, "But it's very pretty. Almost everyone in the family has black hair."

"If you like it so much, let Draco stay in the manor and play with you for a while." Tom thought of the bored Sif and the other green-eyed child, and smiled as he made his decision.

Facing the lord in his youth, Draco's legs softened and he and Nagini slowly walked to the small table filled with desserts and ate the desserts.

Although the protagonist of the banquet is Nagini, the focus of the banquet is often the communication between adults through social interaction.
