HP solves the mystery

Gellert stayed at Voldemort's Manor, and occasionally took Nagini to Diagon Alley and those magical parks when she was on vacation.

Tom was wary at first and then frowned in annoyance when he saw the house elf. However, Gellert was happy and wandering around London all day long.

In fact, wizards can do many things with magic, but they prefer to let plants grow naturally.

In mid-October, it’s time to pick grapes to make wine.

The wine in Voldemort Manor was already finished by Gellert, and the last bottle of the new batch sent from Malfoy Manor was drank by someone yesterday.

"Let's go to the vineyard tomorrow." Tom suggested to Sif. "It happens that the house elves in the manor are making wine, and Nagini can go pick it and play with it."

Sifu was a little moved after hearing this. Although he didn't like picking grapes, he liked eating them!

"But tomorrow is Wednesday, Nagini still has to go to school, and if she takes leave like this, there will be no point in going to school." Seemingly thinking of something, Sif frowned.

"Don't worry about that. Just arrange an autumn camp and let the students play in the vineyard for a week." Tom said nonchalantly.

After all, it's not his orchard, and the suggestion was made by Lucius.

However, in this case, communication with parents falls on the school teachers.

The next day, more than two hundred people arrived at the vineyard on a flying bus.

Lucius knew that many people would come, but his smile froze when he saw this scene. He told the house elf a few words, then took a few steps forward and apparated away.

If he left any later, he would be afraid of being arrested and forced to work as a coolie.

As Lucius's brother-in-law, Regulus recognized that this was the property of the Malfoy family. He raised his brows, greeted the teachers, and walked in first.

As an official of the Ministry of Magic and the deputy headmaster of a primary school, Fudge should have come, but due to the sudden increase in the workload of the Ministry of Magic, he was unable to come.

The teachers leading the team were Lupine and Andre. They followed the footsteps of the house elves and first made the students familiar with the accommodation area before leading them into the orchard.

Harry looked at the endless grape arbors, his mouth was sour and at the same time he envied the manor owner's wealth.

"Harry, come this way." Neville called in a low voice when he turned around and found that Harry hadn't followed.

"I'm coming."

Harry responded in a low voice and trotted to follow. What he didn't notice was that Draco and Nagini were missing from the team.

There are many types of grapes in the manor, and Siver couldn't name them, but they are divided by color, that is, black, brown, white, green, red... various colors...

He took the scissors and cut a bunch of grapes of each color, washed them under the spring water, then sat comfortably on the recliner and started eating.

But the first grape he took into his mouth was so sour that he wrinkled his face.

Draco was jealous of Sif's leisurely behavior. He shouldn't have listened to Nagini's lies about how they could see the former Demon King Grindelwald together, but he ended up here just to help pick grapes.

"Hey, kid, be careful." Gellert rubbed Draco's head. Well, the platinum hair was as soft as expected.

Draco glared at him, straightened the sunhat on his head, puffed his cheeks angrily, wondering if his hair couldn't be messed up.

He wants to tell his father that there is a braided lady in the vineyard who loves to rub children’s heads!

Gellert laughed out loud. Sure enough, other people's children were more playful, unlike his children, who all had serious faces.

Nagini followed Tom around. She was so annoyed by Gellert recently that she wanted to turn into a snake and bite him.

"Tom Tom, when will that uncle leave?" Nagini pursed her lips, held the small basket above her head, and tugged on Sev's sleeves unhappily.

Tom carefully cut off the branches and gently placed the grapes in the small basket.

"Why, you can't stand this? Don't you like playing with him very much? When I asked you to go fishing before, you chose to be with him." Tom glanced at Nagini and said calmly.

Nagini smiled, looking a little embarrassed, because her uncle gave her too many toys and snacks.

Moreover, the uncle had many stories and he spoke pleasantly, so wasn't this just too much? It was just that the novelty had worn off and she wanted to return to Tom.

"He is very annoying. He always asks me what subjects I like and when I will go to Hogwarts." Nagini complained softly. "During the quiz, I got a C in basic potions, and he actually forced me to do it. Tuition…”

As Nagini said, she suddenly felt a chill on her neck, and then heard a cool voice.

"C? Why do I see an A on the test paper?"

When she looked up and saw Tom smiling, she knew something was about to happen.

Nagini chuckled, quickly put the small basket on the ground, and waved her hand towards Tom, "No, you heard wrong, I went to play with Xiaolong, see you later..."

With that said, he jumped out like a rabbit.

Tom stood under the grape trellis and raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Nagini would play tricks on this matter. It seemed that he would have to ask the butler when he got back.

Nagini was honest, she ran to Draco's side and shouted towards the small ladder.

"Little dragon, stop picking it, let's go find Harry to play."

"Um, what? Looking for Harry? Okay."

Draco had long wanted to run away, but now that Nagini spoke, he decisively agreed.

Mainly because the uncle was too annoying. He picked two baskets of grapes and then went to sit under the tree. He also asked him to cut some red grapes and send them to him. It was really embarrassing for the child.

And the godfather is still watching. He is a child and cannot use magic power to smash the grape basket on the uncle.

"Mr. Snape, Nagini and I are going to take a rest." Draco said to Sev.

Sifu waved his hand and invited them to come and play as they wanted to as they were not exploiting child labor.

The two children held hands and followed the house elf who led the way to the other side. Harry, who was destemming grapes, wrinkled his little nose, turned around and sneezed.

When Tom picked several baskets of grapes of various colors and returned to Silver, Silver was so sleepy that he yawned countless times.

And Gellert has long since disappeared, probably looking for wine again.

"We'll pick some after dinner." Tom pinched a grape that Sif had washed and stuffed it into his mouth. He also frowned because of the sourness. "When picking at night, the sugar content of the grapes will rise a bit..."

Tom said as he picked a red grape and relaxed his frown. This one was sweet.

"Are you going to make those baskets into wine yourself?" Sifu said as he stuffed a grape into his mouth. He chewed it twice and found that it was sweet, so he ate it.

Tom shook his head and nodded, pointed to the light red plate of grapes, and asked him to eat this.

Tom just enjoys cutting grapes. He knows nothing about winemaking, so let’s leave it to the professionals.

"Sour grapes have a strong aroma, while sweet ones have a light aroma. Mix the two and complement each other to create delicious wine." He said with a smile, looking at Sifu who was frowning because he had eaten another sour grape.

Sif was silent for a moment, then put a sour grape and a sweet grape into his mouth at the same time.

Tom:…

"Let's go see what those little wizards are doing. I heard from the butler that Harry is here too." Sif finally realized that he was being stupid just now, and in order to save his respect, he quickly changed the subject.

Tom didn't reveal it, and nodded in agreement.

It was not difficult for the teachers to arrange and take care of more than two hundred little wizards, and with the help of the house elves, everyone had a great time.

Especially during the process of crushing grapes, the little wizards all put on clean rain boots and stepped around in the big basin.

Nagini and Draco disappeared, standing nearby rinsing their rain boots and muttering something under their breath.

It was only when Sif got closer that he heard clearly that he would no longer drink wine. They didn't know that wine had to be stamped with their feet.

Regulus happened to be patrolling here and smiled when he heard their whispers.

"There are special machines for crushing grapes, and this orchard is just for you to visit and play." Regulus explained with a smile.

Even house elves don't trample them when making them, but use magic to control things and crush them. Now that Muggle technology has been introduced, the output is even greater.

Draco touched his nose in embarrassment. In his previous life, he drank the most sweet sherry, which was not easily intoxicating. Only his father loved wine.

"I know, Uncle Rael." Draco smiled obediently. He noticed Sif approaching from the corner of his eye and hurriedly said hello, "Good day, Lord, and good day, Mr. Snape."

Sif was a little confused when he saw the mature and steady Regulus. How many years had it been since the two of them had seen each other? And he has really changed.

"Good day, Lord, good day, Mr. Snape." Regulus's eyes stopped on Sev for a moment, and he said to the two of them with a smile.

Tom nodded slightly, choosing the heir of the Black family as the principal was indeed a wise decision. The young principal showed long-term vision and active thinking, and successfully stabilized the newly established Wizard Primary School without being overwhelmed by rumors and obstacles from well-intentioned people.

This achievement is enough to prove his ability to lead this school into a brighter future.

Tom would not suppress this rising star in the political arena for his own selfish desires. After all, it has long been impossible between them.

"Long time no see, Mr. Black." Silver nodded and responded politely.

Draco on the side felt that the atmosphere between the three of them was a bit strange, but he didn't know what was strange, so he could only grab the clean grapes in the basin and eat them.

Nagini was chattering, her fleshy face trembling.

"Sev, this is our principal. He occasionally teaches us Defense Against the Dark Arts. His opponent is Mr. Lupin." Nagini thought the way Regulus drew his wand during the duel with Lupine was very cool. She has been imitating it with a small sword for a long time.

Sif was a little surprised. He remembered that when he was in school, his favorite was transfiguration, but he was relieved when he thought about the amount of dark magic in the Death Eaters organization (well, it hasn't been renamed yet).

However, it was a bit subtle that the opponent was Lupine. Although Lupine was the peacemaker of the Jie Dao Four back then, he also watched Sirius bully Regulus.

Well...it's hard to comment...

"Congratulations, you have become the principal at such a young age. You are really young and promising." The corners of Sifu's lips raised slightly, sincere congratulations.

Regulus raised his eyebrows and responded with a smile, "It's because Lord has a keen eye for people and values ​​my talents that he made me the first principal of the elementary school..."

"Lord has vigorously developed New Diagon Alley and Magic Energy, created a lot of wealth for the magic world, and supported countless families..."

Regulus complimented Lord a little, but he was right, and he really didn't want to stay in Germany for another year and a half.

For Tom, it was just an ordinary compliment and he didn't show much emotion. However, if Lucius were present, he would definitely be able to use the most appropriate words and emotions from all angles to praise the dozens of people present to the point of elation. In comparison, Regulus's praise seemed a bit bland.

Severus became thoughtful after hearing this. Gellert's purpose of coming here must be related to these, but the German Ministry of Magic is not as lazy as the British Ministry of Magic. It will be several times more difficult to conquer, Minister. Strauss is a very powerful wizard, and it is not easy to break through their defenses.

If the British Ministry of Magic hadn't been supported by Old Crouch and there were still a few honest officials, they would have been completely invaded by Tom and Dumbledore's spies.

"Lord, then you are really powerful." Sif said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Tom's ears twitched and he accepted the compliment without blushing.

"I have something even better, do you want to know?" Tom showed a breathtaking smile.

Seeing this, Sifu nodded in confusion, and was then taken to the kitchen.

He looked at Tom who was stewing pears in wine, stewing braised pork, boiling shrimps and other dishes, and then he realized what was more powerful in his mouth was this.

"Didn't you like eating Chinese food very much before? I made red wine stew for you before, now I'm going to make something new." Tom asked Silver to take off his apron and said with a smile.

Sifu looked at the table full of food, which was enough for five people, and swallowed his saliva. It looked delicious.

"I-I'll call Nagini over for dinner." He stood up and wanted to look for someone.

Tom stretched out his hand to stop the person and pushed him back to the chair.

"No, I asked the house elf to prepare food for her. Besides, with the little friends accompanying me, it's hard to say whether she will remember us." Tom said, raising his glass and clinking it with Sif, "This is the new product of the manor. You can taste the wine produced. I guess Gellert has already drank it."

"What about Mr. Grindelwald? Isn't he coming?" Sif asked.

"He should stay with Nagini and the others."

"Oh, okay." Seeing this, Sifu had no choice but to give up.

The last time he drank was the last time. Haierbo said that his wine taste was not good and asked him to drink less, so he never drank again.

Not to mention, I’m really a little greedy for wine.

"Well, let's talk about it first. If I get drunk and go crazy, you can't blame me." Silver looked at Tom solemnly and took a small sip of the wine in his hand.

Tom blinked and said nothing. This wine was newly brewed and the alcohol content was not that high.
