[HP+Shenxia] Unexpected encounter
Chapter 5 Attending the Banquet
Time flies, time flies like an arrow.Three years passed like a fleeting moment while Aurora was absorbing all kinds of knowledge.
In the past three years, Mycroft can be said to have been in the British government like a fish in water, rising step by step, and obtained cooperation with the Ministry of Magic through his position.While the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters needs to cast spells on Muggles to erase their memories, it needs to be registered in Mycroft's MI6, and MI6 conceals the existence of the wizarding world from the Ministry of Magic as far as the situation allows.
"Aurora, are you ready? We're leaving." Mycroft called out to Aurora who was still dressed in the room.
"Understood, it will be ready soon, brother, go down to the living room and wait for me."
Hearing this, Mycroft, who was not surprised by this, walked slowly downstairs.At this time, Sherlock was sitting in the living room reading the newspaper, "Not yet? Come on, Aurora is only nine years old, and it's not time to find a boyfriend, so there's no need to dress so eye-catching."
Mycroft sat down on the chair opposite Sherlock, "It's not like that, tonight's dinner can be said to be Aurora's first official appearance in high society, and of course she has the most perfect image Besides, Aurora will go to Hogwarts to go to school in two years. It is time for her to learn about the current situation in the wizarding world. If there is a friend who grew up in the wizarding world, I think Aurora Laura will have a clearer understanding of the wizarding world."
Sherlock looked at Mycroft mockingly, "With your current rights, even if Aurora is wearing a nightgown tonight, those people's attitude towards Aurora is still flattering, right? Oh, Miss Holmes's idea is really novel , I believe it will cause a trend in the fashion industry in the near future!"
Mycroft said modestly: "You are exaggerating, Sherlock, I am just a low-ranking official in the British government."
"Hmph. The little clerk that everyone wants to curry favor with?" Sherlock dismissed this, then changed the topic and said meaningfully: "After all, there are no nobles among wizards, right?"
Yes, there are no nobles among wizards, so those so-called noble wizards all obtained titles in the Muggle world. For the glory of the family, they will definitely not give up their status in the Muggle world.In this way, Mycroft said that it is very possible to make friends with wizard blood at the banquet. After all, noble wizards also need to maintain personal connections and run businesses, but ordinary people do not know their true identities.
"Whether you can make friends or not depends on Aurora." As he spoke, Mycroft walked to the stairs and watched Aurora come down after getting dressed.
Aurora was wearing a light yellow dress, her hair was split in half, and a white ribbon was tied down into a small braid along the sideburns, and then folded from the ear to the back of the head, secured by a rhinestone hair accessory.The style of the dress is simple, and a white gauze bow is lightly tied behind the waist, making Aurora's image elegant and lively at the same time.
"Wow wow, look at our dear sister, it's just a small banquet, and it took me an afternoon to dress up beautifully." Seeing Aurora's appearance, Sherlock said eccentrically.
Aurora took hold of Mycroft who was waiting for her by the stairs, and made a face at Sherlock, "What eyes do you have? What do you look like, I'm a natural beauty, okay?" She said and pulled Mycroft towards the door. Walk out, "Let's go, didn't you say you were going to leave?"
When she reached the door, Aurora turned her head and saw Sherlock who was still looking at her, "Sherlock, we're leaving. Remember to have dinner, or I'll sue Mommy!"
As soon as the words fell, Aurora dragged Mycroft to the car waiting at the door, still muttering along the way, "Sherlock is getting less and less cute now, and mocking people at every turn, isn't it bullying me for being stupid? Well~"
When he arrived at the meeting place, Mycroft helped Aurora out of the car, walked into the banquet hall, lowered his head and said to Aurora who was holding his arm, "Aurora, you will see your own later."
Aurora looked at Mycroft, who was staring at her seriously, and nodded, indicating that she understood.
"Hahahaha, it's been a long time since Mycroft." A middle-aged man walked towards Aurora and McCoff with champagne.
"It's been a long time, Frederick." Mycroft nodded to Frederick Bennett, and introduced to Aurora: "Aurora, this is Mr. Frederick Bennett."
"This is Lingmei. She is really beautiful. Hello, Miss Holmes." Frederick Bennett greeted Aurora warmly.
Aurora nodded, bowed her head gracefully, and said hello to Frederick Bennett politely, "Good evening, Mr. Frederick Bennett. I am Aurora Holmes."
"Mycroft, as expected of your sister, she speaks generously." Frederick Bennett flattered McCoff while complimenting Aurora.
Seeing that Frederick Bennett was flattering himself by boasting about Aurora, McCoff couldn't help being amused. It seemed that Frederick had something to ask of himself, "Of course, Aurora has been very smart and obedient since she was a child. O Laura, go and play by yourself."
Mycroft motioned to make friends and stop listening to the flattery of the old man here.
Aurora understood the implication of McCoff's words, she lowered her head and snickered, "Okay, brother. Mr. Bennett, I'll leave first."
Aurora nodded to Frederick Bennett, then turned and walked towards the dessert table.
Christie Edward came with her parents, and since she was a child, she would not appear restrained at the banquet.
"Holmes is here. I heard that he will bring his sister here today. I didn't expect it to be true." Christie heard her father say this, and immediately looked towards the door of the banquet hall. There was indeed a man about the same age as herself next to Mycroft Holmes. girls.
That girl is said to be participating in a banquet for the first time, and she is not stage frightened when faced with such an occasion. What is it like attending a banquet for the first time?Hmm, can't remember, probably not too bad.As expected of Mr. Holmes, he was very popular indeed. Someone came over to say hello as soon as he arrived.Just looking at the girl saluting and saying hello, the expression of lowering her head and snickering, and those little movements, no matter how you look at it, how familiar it is, like a friend I haven't seen for many years.
"Christie." Christie saw Aurora walking towards the dessert table. Just as she was about to follow, she heard someone calling herself. She turned her head and saw that it was her mother, and the lady she seemed to know was standing beside her.Glancing at Aurora who was picking out desserts at the dessert table, Christie walked towards her mother, don't worry about it at this moment, you can always see her before the banquet is over, right?
"Here we go, Mommy."
Aurora picked a piece of cake from the dessert table and sat on the sofa beside her, observing the people at the banquet.Thinking about how likely it is that wizards and nobles will come to today's banquet, and who can I make friends with.
At this time, Aurora noticed a girl with short hair that was about the same size as her own. The bangs were air bangs that had been popular in Huaguo for a while.
"This is Christie Edward, the only daughter of the Edward family." Aurora realized that she was so engrossed in watching Christie that she didn't even know that other people were sitting next to her.
"Hi, I'm Anna Bennett." The little girl sitting next to Aurora introduced.
"Hi, I'm Aurora Holmes." Bennett?Aurora squinted her eyes, it seemed that she came to know herself after being greeted by Mr. Bennett.
"Did you just say that was Christie Edward?" Aurora pointed to Christie, and then asked with great interest: "Miss Bennett, what do you think of her hairstyle? I mean her bangs, I seem to be the first It’s the first time I’ve seen bangs like this.”
Anna glanced at Christie, "You can just call me Anna. It is said that she asked the barber to cut the bangs like this. She said that the bangs before were too dull. She is also the first person with such a hairstyle in the UK. Maybe it also created a precedent for this hairstyle."
"The first one, I asked for it..." Aurora murmured unconsciously.
Seeing Aurora staring at Christie thoughtfully, Anna interrupted; "Yes, Miss Holmes. I have some friends who are very curious about you, maybe you want to get to know them?"
Aurora, whose thoughts were interrupted, came back to her senses, "Of course. Then please introduce me. By the way, just call me Aurora." After speaking, Aurora stood up and walked towards the group of people who were already watching with Anna. Ladies here for a while.
"I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
After socializing, Aurora, who was about to take a break, heard this and turned her head to look. The person standing not far from her was Christie Edward, who she was very interested in just now.
"I'm also thinking about finding a place to rest for a while, would you mind taking a rest on the terrace with me?" Aurora walked over and proposed to Christie.
"Great, I need to take a good rest." Christie followed Aurora's footsteps and hid in the shadow of the terrace.
The two sitting quietly on the terrace admired London at night, saw the lights of thousands of houses in the distance, and the continuous flow of vehicles on the road, Aurora suddenly felt a sense of tranquility, "It's so beautiful! Isn't it?"
"Of course, the scenery at night is not as hustle and bustle as in the daytime, so it's very peaceful, isn't it?" Christie smiled at Aurora.Suddenly, Christie seemed to remember something, "Miss Holmes, do you wear colored contact lenses? Your eyes look so big."
Aurora's hands trembled unconsciously when she heard the words, she withdrew her gaze from far away, and turned her head to stare at Christie with focused eyes, as if she wanted to see the depths of her soul.Seeing this, Christie didn't avoid her eyes, and looked back at Aurora calmly.
After a long while, Aurora seemed to be sure of something, and looked away first, "Color contact lenses? Miss Edward, I don't seem to have heard of such things." Seeing Christie, she was relieved first, then her expression froze, and finally she looked disappointed , Aurora's mouth twitched, and then added: "I don't know if Miss Edward knows about Batman? I remember, someone once asked me if I had a friend who wore colored contact lenses and liked him very much."
Hearing Batman Christie smiled in surprise, you must know that there is no Batman or superhero in this world, right? "Really? I also remember that I once asked my friend this question, and I still remember that my friend likes Iron Man."
"I think we need to get to know each other again. Hello, I am Aurora Holmes and I am nine years old."
"Hi, I'm Christie Evelina Edward. I'm also nine years old this year."

After lunch, Fengfeng, who had made the bed, sat on the seat and played with her mobile phone, while Lingling and Tingting took a nap on the bed.Ah Short and Ah Xue came back after lunch and walked towards Fengfeng who was sitting on the stool.
"Hello! I'm Ah Short." The enthusiastic and cheerful socialite Ah Short took the lead to break the ice.
"Hi, I'm Axue." Axue, who looked like a delicate doll, followed suit to greet her.
Fengfeng stood up, "I'm Fengfeng. Did you know each other before? You look very familiar."
"We don't know each other. When we cleaned up in the morning, we knew that we were all from the same high school, but in different classes." Ah Short leaned against the bed.
"It's great to be in the same school!" Fengfeng was a little envious.
Axue comforted Fengfeng, "No, in fact, we don't know each other. It's fate that we meet now! By the way, Fengfeng, do you wear colored contact lenses? Your eyes look so big!"
Fengfeng was a little shy, "I didn't wear colored contact lenses, and my eyes aren't too big. Your eyes look big too!"
"Really!" Ah Xue said seriously: "Look, Ah Short, Fengfeng's eyes really look big."
Ah Short also responded: "Really!"
