Harry Potter: Who cares about belated motherly love?

——After breakfast, Harry and I watched our roommates leave excitedly. We dressed and prepared to go to the meeting place with Draco and Theodore.

Harry wore a dark blue casual suit jacket with trousers and a perfect bow tie today, which made him look decent and not too formal. His usually messy hair was also made soft and fluffy, like random curls, which made him look particularly fresh.

"Is this right here?"

"This is where it says on the invitation, so it should be correct."

Our destination is an empty classroom on the seventh floor. According to the description in the invitation letter, this classroom has been approved in advance by Professor Snape and can be used today.

This invitation is very tasteful, written in dark blue cardstock and silver ink, elegant and simple. Moreover, the paper used is plant fiber paper, not traditional parchment paper, which I particularly appreciate - although parchment paper is thick, it has a rough texture and lacks some refinement.

"Ronnie, is that right over there?"

"At the end of the corridor on the seventh floor, the only classroom with a landscape painting hanging on the wall...that's right."

Following the instructions on the invitation, we finally found our destination at the end of the corridor on the seventh floor. It was a landscape painting of Hogwarts Castle, with trees swaying in the wind and owls flying across the painting from time to time, which was quite vivid.

In Hogwarts, where portraits are the main focus, pure landscape paintings are not common. Portraits usually serve as "surveillance cameras" to monitor activities in the castle, assist faculty and staff in managing castle security, and help lost students find their way. Landscape paintings, on the other hand, are often used only for decorative purposes and have become a minority in Hogwarts.

While wondering whether this painting should be hung in a more prominent place, I raised my hand and knocked on the door three times.

Boom, boom, boom——

(Interlude: When knocking on the door, it is best to knock three or four times. Two knocks are usually used to confirm whether the toilet is occupied, while three knocks are for daily use, and four knocks are more suitable for formal occasions.)

——Back to the topic.

The door soon slowly opened from the inside and we were greeted by Draco.

"Please come in."

When we walked into the classroom, we couldn't help but hold our breath - the originally deserted and empty classroom has now been decorated into a gorgeous afternoon tea party venue.

"Wow! So beautiful……"

“It’s like a scene from a fairy tale!”

The classroom was decorated with soft pink and white roses and light green ribbons. In the center was a table covered with a white tablecloth. The cat-legged table and chairs were designed in a Rococo style, elegant and classical. On the table was a light green gold-rimmed tea set and an exquisite three-tier dessert stand.

"This is...Insley's tea set! It's so beautiful!"

I couldn't help but exclaim in admiration as I recognized these tea sets were from the famous British ceramic brand Insley, however, they were products from the Muggle world.

"Do you like it, Ronnie?" Draco raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had expected my reaction.

“Like it very much!”

"That's good."

"Come on, sit down and enjoy the welcome tea first." Theodore spoke from the side with a faint smile on his face. He pulled out chairs for Harry and me, and we sat down immediately.

Why would Draco and Theodore, two people who were born into pure-blood families and were influenced by the idea of ​​pure-blood supremacy, choose to use Muggle-brand tea sets?

In fact, there is a deep connection between pure-blood families and the Muggle world - although this is often deliberately ignored or downplayed.
