Hogwarts: Don’t panic, Old Deng, I won’t be the Dark Lord

Chapter 57 A chance encounter in the banquet hall

this day...

Sisley sat up from the bed and stretched, then walked down the stairs helplessly and looked at Dumbledore, who was rummaging through the cabinets in the kitchen, and said, "If you want to find something to eat, you'd better give up, because I'll have to do it later." Go get some food."

"Ah, wake up. I'm planning to take you to the investiture ceremony." Dumbledore said, scratching his head in embarrassment.

"Still do you think this is a secret operation?" Sisley said, rolling his eyes.

"What do you think?" Dumbledore said as he opened the door and headed towards Hermione's house next door.

"Uh, you're really not polite at all." Sisley said with a twitching corner of his mouth as he watched this scene.

As expected when they arrived at Hermione's house, Dumbledore had already sat on his seat and started spreading jam on slices of bread.

"Emmmm." Sisley looked at the small dining table with only four chairs and waved his wand helplessly, conjuring another chair and sitting next to Hermione.

"Here." Hermione handed a piece of sandwich to Sisley.

"Thank you." Sisley took it and took a bite.

Dumbledore and the Granger couple on the other side obviously had a good conversation. After all, wise people are always respected no matter whether they are young or old.

"Miss Granger, remember to put on your wizard robes later, and we will attend Sisley's investiture ceremony." Dumbledore said to Hermione.

Sisley watched Dumbledore eating the food on the table slowly, and he was a little doubtful that taking Hermione to the ceremony was just the breakfast money.

"Huh? What kind of investiture ceremony? Why didn't I know?" Hermione said with a confused look on her face.

"Didn't you tell them?" Dumbledore asked doubtfully.

"I was too sleepy yesterday." Sisley laughed.

"The order of the Knights of Merlin was first founded by the great legendary wizard Merlin to protect the lives of non-wizards."

"Later, after experiencing wars between wizards and various magical races and the Muggle society's persecution of underage and even newborn wizards, the Knights of Merlin fell into a state of stagnation and paralysis."

"After the implementation of the International Secrecy Law, the Knights of Merlin were also officially disbanded. However, the European Magical Union preserved the name and made it into a medal to award wizards who have made outstanding contributions to the European magic world." Dumbledore explained.

"I've always felt that I really haven't done much, and this is considered shady." Sisley complained.

"No, no, no, this is not a shady secret, this is our special recommendation letter system." Dumbledore said with a sly wink.

"Pfft!" Mr. Granger suddenly blocked his mouth and laughed.

Sisley didn't know why Mr. Granger had such a big reaction to this cold joke, so he could only chuckle helplessly.

"That's right! I don't have a dress yet!" Hermione looked up and said in horror.

"No need, Miss Granger, for a student, your school uniform is the best dress." Dumbledore said comfortingly.

"Well, especially since they know you are the second best student in this class." Mrs. Granger added.

.........

"You two, I will bring these two children back before eight o'clock tonight, please don't worry." After saying that, along with a burst of dazzling golden light, the three of them disappeared.

"I thought the party was held in the evening," Mr. Granger said suddenly.

"Maybe it's a custom in the wizarding world." Mrs. Granger thought for a moment and explained.

Ministry of Magic Ballroom...

Dumbledore pushed Sisley gently and whispered: "Go Sisley, you are so comfortable in everything you do. Now let me see your interpersonal communication, and treat it like this is what I left for you." Practice your homework and complete it." Dumbledore and Hermione then walked towards the dessert area not far away.

However, it should be said that Dumbledore is one of the three legendary wizards alive in Europe today. He is the center of attention wherever he is. Almost half of the people in the entire banquet hall are vaguely surrounding Dumbledore, looking for a chance to talk to him.

As for Sisley, most of them are young wizards, mostly Slytherins, and there are also a few from the other three houses.

Sisley put on a poker face and struggled to deal with all kinds of chatter, and the childish maturity that only belonged to the little Slytherin wizard.

At this moment, a woman wearing a cashmere sweater and a pair of fancy glasses walked up not far away. She was Rita Kister, a reporter from the Daily Prophet.

"Mr. Thorne, would you mind doing an interview with me?" Rita Kist said with an unseemly smile.

"I mind." Sisley didn't give any face, and left after saying a few words to the little wizards around him.

Rita Kister was left alone, still maintaining her stiff smile, and the quill in her hand was so pinched that it folded.

"This assignment is really difficult, or else I'll fail." Sisley found an empty chair and sat down, complaining to himself.

"What homework can be difficult for you?" Suddenly a voice came from behind Sisley. Sisley looked back, yo, it's Draco, an acquaintance.

"Why didn't I see you just now? I thought you hadn't come." Sisley raised his eyebrows and said.

"Those people just now were ordered by their elders to curry favor with you and invest in you. Do you think I will need it?" Draco said with a sneer.

"Well...your father brought you here?" Sisley looked around the banquet hall and asked again.

"Well, my mother is here too, right over there. The most beautiful and elegant one is my mother." Draco pointed in one direction and said.

"I see, it is indeed beautiful and elegant." Sisley said politely, after all, he had eaten several hundred galleons worth of chocolate.

Although I don’t know why the chocolate is so expensive...

"What did you just say? What homework?" Draco asked again.

"The teacher asked me to deal with interpersonal relationships. He said this was his homework for me, but... I'm not good at it." Sisley curled his lips and complained.

"You don't know how to deal with interpersonal relationships? That's right. From the beginning of the school year to the holidays, you have always been with the three of them." Draco said suddenly.

"I haven't been good at it since I was a child. But if you force me to deal with it, I can't go wrong, but it's too tiring." Sisley sighed.

"How did you do it?" Draco asked again.

"Don't treat them as people, treat them as questions. When they ask questions, I will judge whether I can give them the answer. If I can give it, I will answer it. If not, I will change the subject. If it doesn't matter, I will ask a few questions... That's it. ." Sisley said.

"Well, you won't offend anyone, but you won't make many friends," Draco said.
