In the evening, many people came for dinner.

The five of them surrounded Vince Lord, eating snacks and fruits and chatting, mainly Sirius and James Potter.

Wenxiu Lord sat leaning against the head of the bed, lowering his head and quickly processing the documents that had accumulated throughout the day. From time to time, he raised some questions or opinions, indicating that he was listening carefully to what they said.

Seeing this, Lily spoke with some concern, "Wenxiu, is it really okay for you to handle your work like this?" She expressed concern about Wenxiu Lord's distracted work and doubted his ability to work.

After processing another dozen documents, Wenxiu Lord wrote a solution for Sebastian, put it between the cover of the document and handed it to Severus.

"It's okay. I'm already very good at it."

These documents seem to be a lot, and actually they are, but it is not difficult to handle them. They have all been screened and processed by Sebastian before being sent over. Wenxiu Lord said that as long as it is not a new business, there will be no problem at all.

Severus was like an obedient secretary. He took the documents and sorted them out and put them on the bedside table. He then took out a dozen new documents and handed them to him.

When James Potter saw Vince Lord taking the document and working hard, he gave him a thumbs up out of admiration.

"You are really efficient at work. When my father is processing company documents, I can hear him cursing every time I pass by the study."

"Although your efficiency is high, the work is too much." Sirius leaned over to take a look. The densely packed small print on the document made him dizzy at a glance.

He quickly retracted his head and snatched the snack that James Potter was about to eat, still with lingering fear, "Fortunately, Regulus will inherit the position of head of the family in the future, otherwise I would definitely not be able to finish reading these papers even if I squeezed out my sleep time."

James Potter, whose snacks were snatched away, stretched out his hand to grab them. Hearing Sirius' words, he was immediately frustrated and envious. "Don't say that. My father came to watch Quidditch two days ago and told me that he wanted me to learn from him and take over the family affairs during this holiday."

With a crisp sound, Sirius slapped James Potter on the back and rubbed his hands on his clothes twice, wiping off the stains on his hands.

"You must take over. Otherwise, when you marry Lily in the future, will Lily have to learn and support you?"

James Potter looked at Sirius who said this, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter.

"Yeah! Why didn't I think of that! Lily is so smart. We're going to get married anyway, so just leave it to Lily!"

He took Lily's hands and looked at the girl with eyes full of anticipation.

She was slapped on the backhand again, this time by Lily. The girl was angry and annoyed. She really didn't understand why she fell in love with him. When she heard him say that they would definitely get married, she felt secretly happy in her heart.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Who said I wanted to marry you?"

The young couple's flirting made everyone around them eat a lot of dog food, but Wenxiu Lord was the happiest one, and his speed in processing documents increased a lot.

In addition to Lily and others, Lucius and Narcissa Black also came.

The woman took Lucius' arm and walked in, pushing aside the curtain. Both of them were so elegant and dignified, looking like a match made in heaven.

Lucius did not tell Narcissa what really happened in the past two days. He simply said that he was sick and it was Wenxiu Lord who took care of him.

They discussed what they had said to the adult in Malfoy Manor, and finally decided to prepare a thank-you gift.

Narcissa looked at the parchment of jewelry and rare alchemical tools that Lucius had drawn up, wondering if the man had not been cured yet.

There was suddenly no sound in the cubicle. Wenxiu Lord looked up from the pile of documents and saw Lucius and Narcissa Black, both with unnatural looks, walking in with two exquisite gift boxes.

"Wen Xiu," Lucius, who was shy, didn't even sing his aria when thanking in front of so many people, "Thank you for taking care of me these past few days. This is a thank you gift."

Wenxiu Lord took the gift box from the two men. Remus removed the half-finished document from the small table and said, "Can I open it and have a look?"

"Of course." Lucius was delighted by the boy's impatience. According to English etiquette, gifts from close relatives should be opened on the spot, which is the greatest respect. They like to see the joy on the face of the person who receives the gift.

The two gift boxes are exquisitely crafted, tied with velvet and silver-inlaid ribbons, with a delicate and small gift knot left in the upper left corner.

Thousands of petals blossomed in the boy's palm and turned into a ribbon. Wenxiu Lord opened the box, revealing individually wrapped chocolates with exquisite workmanship and attractive colors.

The silver-gray eyes were so bright as if they were coated with diamond powder. Narcissa noticed the uncontrollable smile on her fiancé's face and twisted the fingers that were holding his arm hard.

The soft flesh on the inside of his arm was twisted about 180 degrees. Lucius couldn't help but groan. When everyone looked over, he explained, "Well, this chocolate is made by a long-established chocolate shop in France. It's delicious. I hope you like it."

Narcissa was amazed in her heart that Lucius was so arrogant and a bit ostentatious that he didn't even tell Wenxiu Lord that the store only accepted reservations from members and that the quantity was limited. It was really like seeing Merlin in broad daylight.

After Wenxiu Lord exchanged some pleasantries with them, the two men left. With their presence, everyone except Wenxiu Lord felt uncomfortable.

Lily breathed deeply. Narcissa Black was so beautiful and elegant that in front of her, Lily couldn't help but control her breathing.

Wenxiu Lord stared at the two boxes of chocolates in front of him, thinking about which flavor to favor first. At this moment, a casual hand reached out to his chocolates.

He hadn't even started eating yet, but someone dared to take his chocolate before him. He got slapped in the face, leaving a large red mark on the back of his hand.

"Hiss," Sirius retracted his hand and complained, "Wen Xiu! You hit me for a piece of chocolate!"

Wenxiu Lord turned his head and stared at him unkindly, "I want to eat it first. If you stretch your hand again, I will hit you."

Sirius pouted in dissatisfaction, rubbed the burning back of his hand, and kicked James Potter who was laughing at him.

Ignoring the two people's fight, Wenxiu Lord picked up the selected chocolate and put it into his mouth. The rich and mellow chocolate melted in his mouth. Wenxiu Lord held his face happily, and his whole body was sweet.

With the chocolate in his mouth and licking it to melt, Vincent Lord picked up a piece of the same chocolate and handed it to Severus' mouth. Remus could smell the sweetness in the silver-haired boy's mouth as he spoke.

"Severus, try it, it's delicious."

It tastes bitter and mellow at first, and has a milky sweet aftertaste. "Is it?"

Severus watched Wenxiu Lord look at him expectantly, and felt the chocolate in his mouth become sweeter. He liked it. "Hmm."

When it comes to Severus, he feeds him actively, and when it comes to Sirius, he claps his hands to protect the food. Sirius is going to make a noise, very noisy and annoying.

But before he could open his mouth, Wenxiu Lord, who had anticipated the situation, stuffed a piece of chocolate into his mouth while he was opening his mouth, blocking his loud speaker.

He picked up another one and turned to hand it to Remus' lips behind him.

As they were eating chocolate, Regulus walked in, followed by a dejected little wizard. Wenxiu Lord had some impression of him, as he was one of the students he sponsored in the first year of Slytherin House.

Puzzled eyes fell on Regulus, and the boy took a step aside, revealing the wizard behind him.

The little wizard who had thrown heavy punches in the common room in the morning was now timid in front of Wenxiu Lord. He took a few steps forward with his eyes closed and an attitude of fearless fearlessness. "I'm very sorry, Lord. I'm here to apologize and beg for your forgiveness!"

Regulus started to explain at this time. After learning what happened, Wenxiu Lord's silver-gray eyes deepened a little, and the corners of his lips pulled up into a formal social smile.

"Raise your head. If this is your true repentance after realizing your mistakes, I will give you this chance."

The wizard felt even more unbearable because of his gentleness. At the same time, in his heart, the wizard was blaming himself and secretly vowed to protect Lord forever.

A group of people surrounded Wenxiu Lord, and a group of people said goodbye to Wenxiu Lord one after another.

The silver-haired boy was the only one left here. He raised his eyes and put down the quill in his hand. "Principal Dumbledore, peeking is not a good habit."

The air twisted, and an old man with white hair and beard appeared, sitting on a chair beside the bed with a smile on his face.

"Would you like one?" A chocolate box appeared in front of him. Dumbledore shook his head. "More treats, but no, I don't like this kind of chocolate. It's still too bitter."

The boy shrugged and continued to work. "What can I do for you, Headmaster Dumbledore?"

The old man pulled out a small can of popping candy from his pocket. "Regulus announced in the Slytherin common room this morning that he was following you."

The young man paused, and the old man continued, "But the Black family is following that man."

The silver-haired boy raised his head and swore to his heart in a firm tone.

"I will do everything I can to protect what I want to protect."

Dumbledore's blue eyes looked straight at him. At this moment, the two were no longer Albus Dumbledore and Vinceau Lord, but the First White Wizard and the head of the Lord family.
