[HP] Years Whisk

In the winter of 1963, on December 12, evening, Black Manor.

There was a lot of drinking in the banquet hall.The symphony orchestra in the dark is playing Johann Strauss's "Vienna Fresco Waltz" No. 249, and the air is filled with the smell of various perfumes.Delicately cooked food was carefully arranged on silver plates trimmed with gold, and the plates were neatly placed on long tables covered with lace tablecloths.If any plate of food was missing, a house-elf would immediately appear and replace it with a new plate.Crystal chandeliers shine on the ceiling covered with exquisite murals.On the surrounding walls, in the beautifully carved silver candlesticks, white candles were burning silently, complementing the large fluorescent magic flowers decorated on the walls.

Men and women in gorgeous gowns gathered in groups, holding champagne in their hands, or whispering and laughing, or testing each other.

As the host of the banquet, Cygnus Black was talking with Patriarch Zabini.Druela, the hostess of the Black Manor, greeted all the guests at the door.Walburga Black was also with Druela, but he looked a little anxious, as if waiting for someone to come.Orion Black was drinking champagne on the sidelines of the banquet, and he seemed a little drunk just after the banquet started.

Bella hated such occasions. She felt that such hypocritical social activities were a waste of time, so she took a copy of "Transfiguration: Intermediate" and hid in the cubicle next to the banquet hall.Andromeda dressed herself up early, but now she ran to some corner of the banquet hall.And Narcissa, who has the memories of her previous life, is familiar with this kind of banquet, so she leans lazily on the handrail of the stairs on the second floor, waiting for Druela to welcome the guests and bring the three sisters to greet the ladies and pleasantries.

Regulus Black was put to sleep by Walburga because he was too young, so he did not participate in the banquet.Sirius Black was supposed to show his face at this feast, in preparation for his birthday party when he enters wizarding society next year, but 'accidentally' burned many pure blood families because he was so naughty the first few days The letter of the invitation to the Black family banquet was locked up by the angry Walburga, and it has not been released yet.

Lucius was in the banquet hall with a few pure-blood family members of his own age, listening to them boast to each other about their latest magical training.Abraxas was unable to return to England at Christmas because of his schedule, so he was absent from the banquet, but asked Lucius to send Signaci a diamond with a 'Cross of Maltese' pattern as his congratulatory gift.

"Oh, my God, you're here!" Druela, who greeted the guests at the door, saw a young man in bohemian clothes that didn't fit in the banquet, and greeted him in surprise: "You all No advance notice was given to us. Signus will be glad to see you."

Walburga also noticed Druella's happy mood, turned her head to look, saw that it was not the one she was waiting for, and sighed slightly disappointed.When he saw the visitor's distinctive dress style and messy long hair, he frowned in disgust: "Alphad, why are you dressed like this again! Are you as brainless as Rong Pupu? What about the etiquette that Blake taught you?"

"Okay, okay, Walburga." Druela hurriedly acted as a peacemaker: "Alphad hasn't come back for a long time, and you still reprimand him. I think this guest is almost here, so I will bring him first." Let Alphard go back to the banquet hall and let him have a good talk with his brother. Are you coming too?"

"Hmm...it's better." Walburga hesitated for a while, but still shook his head: "I still have a distinguished guest who hasn't come, and I want to wait for that guest here."

"Is it Lucretia? Didn't she move to Scotland? I thought she wouldn't come." Druela asked curiously.

"No, no, it's not." Walburga rubbed his hands together in embarrassment, "I personally invited the guest, but...he might not come." She said vaguely.

"That's good. Then Alphard and I will go in first." Druela patted Walburga's shoulder understandingly, "You wait here first, if no one comes, go to the banquet hall Right. Although the heat preservation spell has been added, the weather in December is still a bit cold."

Alphard Black has remained silent, and he shows no signs of irritation at Walburga's accusations.After Druela finished talking with Walburga, he smiled and said hello to Druela: "Sister-in-law."

Deruela also glanced at him with a smile, and said with a slight reproach: "Where have you been all these years? You're such an old man, and you don't want to start a family yet, wandering around everywhere, what's so good about this time? At the banquet, I have to introduce you to some pure-blood ladies, you can't hide anymore."

Alphard scratched his head, and his long brown hair became even more messy: "Oh, those pure-blood girls don't have a sister-in-law like you, who is so beautiful and virtuous. I have seen such a good one, how can I still like you?" they?"

"It's just your sweet mouth," Druela glanced at him reproachfully: "You, hurry up and change your brother's clothes with me, and then go to see your brother. If he sees you dressed like this, he must Mad with anger."

"Okay, okay." Alphard responded casually.Druela shook his head helplessly when he saw him like this, and led him to the locker room without saying anything more.

The banquet was halfway through, and the guests were almost talking.The three Narcissa sisters also walked around the banquet hall with their mother, and greeted the ladies one by one.

Alphard Black's presence at the feast caused a little stir as some members of the Purebloods quietly exchanged information they knew.Signus was talking about luxury business with Mrs. Caroline from France at the time, and was so shocked when he saw Alphard that he almost spit out the red wine from his mouth.Slightly suppressing the emotions in his heart that he didn't know whether to be happy or angry, he politely asked Mrs. Caroline to resign, and then strode towards Alphard.

"Where have you been all these years?" He suppressed his tone and asked Alphard Black in a low voice. "You are so courageous. You left the UK without saying a word. Are you going to betray the Black family?"

"I was wrong, brother." Alphard's survival instinct made him immediately apologize to Signus in a good voice.He pretended to be very ashamed and lowered his head, "I don't dare anymore."

"What's wrong with you! You are the most capable. Leave as soon as you say, do you know how much Walburga and I have worried about you!" Signus said more and more excitedly, and his voice gradually amplified. "Tell me, where have you been all these years?"

"Brother——" Alphard imitated what he did when he was a child, and quietly pulled Lasignas's arm, and said in a low and pitiful voice: "Are you sure you are here to teach me?"

Signus looked around and saw that the people around him began to look in this direction, and he knew in his heart that this was not a good place to explain.So he suppressed the violent emotions in his heart, and said to Alphard coldly: "You'd better think about how to explain it to me. After the banquet is over, come to my study to find me."

It's almost time for the dance.It was getting late at this time.The three Narcissa sisters were not yet old enough to participate in the ball, and like other little wizards under the age of 16, they were all taken back to their respective rooms or guest rooms by Druela.The rest is completely adult social time.

The music in the banquet hall has changed to the cheerful and passionate "Carmen Overture", the atmosphere has become slightly ambiguous and frivolous, and some of the discourses between the nobles already have some flirtatious elements.At this time, the people Walburga and others finally arrived.

He didn't wear a tuxedo, but wore a black wizard robe in his own way, with a scarf made of polar wolf skin around his neck.No one else came with him, but the oppressive aura he gave off alone was enough to resist an army of ten people. "I'm sorry, Walburga, I'm a little late. There are some bugs on the road, and I wasted a little time." He said flatly and without any apology.

Walburga quickly trotted two steps to meet him, and said with a flattering smile, "How could it be? The Duke of Darkness is here, and the Black family is really flourishing. We are too happy, so how can we blame you?"

Voldemort let out a chuckle, as if he was satisfied with what Walburga said, but also as sarcasm.He changed the subject: "I heard that your brother, Alphard Black is back?"

Cold sweat gradually broke out on Walburga's forehead, and he felt more and more unfathomable about the person beside him: "Ah, yes... I just saw him too. Your Excellency Duke, how do you know?"

Voldemort snorted coldly: "I know everything." Immediately, he said to Walburga forcefully in an orderly tone: "Lead the way, let's go to the banquet." He secretly felt that it was wise for him to surrender to Voldemort.

"Lord Duke of Darkness, this is it." Walburga pushed open the heavy banquet hall door, turned and said to Voldemort.

The banquet was interrupted by the sound of Walburga pushing the door, and the guests all looked towards the door of the banquet hall.When their eyes came into contact with the person behind Walburga, all of them involuntarily stopped talking or joking, and fell silent.

Of course, Cygnus Black also noticed the silence in the banquet hall.He looked at the uninvited guest, frowned, and then raised the champagne with the aura of the host, and went forward: "It's really a rare guest. What kind of wind brought the Duke of Darkness here?"

Voldemort raised an eyebrow.Before he could speak, Walburga, who was standing in front of him, quickly stood at his side and said to Signus: "I invited the Duke. I received the response from the Duke. It's an honor."

Signus pursed his lips when he heard this, suppressing the unhappiness in his heart. "My lord, the Duke of Darkness, came from afar. It must have been very hard work. I will order the house elf to prepare red wine from Chateau Latour in Bordeaux, France, and you can rest for a while. I hope you can enjoy this banquet." After finishing speaking. , he snapped his fingers, and a house elf appeared obliquely in front of him with a 'bang'.

Voldemort stopped him with a wave of his hand. "Signus, I'm just here to see you. It's been a long time since we old classmates, look at your current tone, how unfamiliar. Don't you want to buy me a drink and catch up with each other?" His red eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Signus.

Signus also looked at him, stared blankly for a while, and then raised a smirk like an aristocrat: "Why? I also miss your 'old classmate' very much. Come on, this Please, let's catch up alone." He emphasized the pronunciation of the last few words, then pushed open the door of the reception room of the banquet hall, inviting Voldemort to enter.
