[HP] If youth has an ageless face

"Have you heard?"

"What did you hear?"

Kayla—who is now Uriah's wife—gazing at Edwina's shadow in the mirror: "The dress you wore to the prom last month has been sold out, and it is said that orders have been queued until this year." In autumn, Fengya Robe Shop took the opportunity to double the price, but the supply is still in short supply." She paused for a moment, and tried to continue in a calm tone, "Actually, everyone is imitating you now."

——Your dress, your hairstyle, your makeup, even the curvature of your mouth and affectionate eye waves.But fakes are fakes after all, and when people are eager to wear new clothes, Mrs. Zabini has set off the next wave.

"Then let them imitate." Edwina smiled nonchalantly, ignoring the slight jealousy in her tone, "How is Uriah's preparation? I have found a way to book tickets in advance, and I will wait for him Into the finals."

"He's in good shape." Mentioning her husband, Kayla immediately lifted her spirits, "It's just...the first World Cup, and it's still a bit of a hangover if you want to make it to the final."

"He's fine."

Keira smiled happily, and the jealousy towards her just now was swept away: "When is Darren coming back? He's gone for almost two months this time, right?"

"It should be in these two days." There was an exclusive wooden box on Edwin's dressing table, and there was a neat stack of letters inside, all of which were sent back one after another by Darren during his field trips.The most recent one was from last week, saying they were ready to go back.

"The arrangement of the Research Association is really unreasonable," Keira sighed, "How can people go out for a few months at every turn?"

"There's no way around this. The places they went to investigate are all deserted, and it takes a lot of time to go there and back. The door key can at most send them to a nearby town, and the rest of the road will have to be traveled on foot. .”

"Darren shouldn't have to go out so often in a few years, right?"

"It should be after he does some research. It's a pity that he likes to drill into those wild places, this fool..." Edwin la complained, "Let's not talk about him, let's go down."

The banquet at the Zabini Manor tonight has double meanings: one is to wish Ulea a victory in the Irish national team's internal trials, and the other is to welcome Silvia's return from France.

Edwin went to see Ethan before going to the banquet.When they first moved in together, the boy was a bit withdrawn, but this year's campus life seemed to make him a little more cheerful.At least now he is willing to take the initiative to communicate with them, but he still resists contact with strangers.

Ethan was in his room fiddling with a scale when she found him.

"What are you doing?"

"Calculate." The boy replied solemnly.On one end of the scale are several pieces of candy, while the wrappers are piled on the other.

Edwina was puzzled: "What does this mean?"

"This is the cost," the boy pointed at the candy, "and this is the profit." He pointed to the candy wrapper, and then thought, "A stupid businessman would do that."

"And what about a smart businessman?"

Ethan took all the remaining candies, crushed only one and put it back.His actions caused the balance to suddenly tilt from one end to the other: "This way."

She was a little surprised, and then smiled again: Very good, now the Zabini family finally has someone who can take care of the family business.

"When is Darren coming back?"

"It should be soon." Edwin asked casually, "Do you miss him?"

Ethan glanced at her quickly: "Just...it's okay."

His pretentious tone was exchanged for Edwin's smile: "I'm going down to the banquet, are you really not coming?"

"I—" Ethan frowned in embarrassment, "Do you want me to go?"

"Oh!" she laughed again, "I want you to do what you want."

Edwina heard Sylvia's laughter before stepping into the Palace of Mirrors.She was chatting and laughing with a group of male guests. Seeing her coming, Sylvia ended the conversation perfunctorily and rushed forward:

"I can even hear Madame Zabini's name indirectly in France." She said jokingly, while looking at her carefully, "You know—now everything you use, even if it's just a similar style , the price can be doubled.”

"I've heard about it. People always like to follow the trend." Edwin pulls aside the other male guests chasing their eyes, and leads Sylvia to a corner suitable for conversation, "Is France fun?"

"The scenery is just like that, but I have learned something else." Sylvia smiled slyly, her brows were full of amorous feelings, "Let's talk about you, Mrs. Zabini, how does it feel to be a socialite?" ?”

Edwina thought for a moment: "It's like a fish in water."

"Oh?"

"People are actually quite gullible, and you can get more out of them with just a few nice words and a drink or two."

"The Three Lions won the first place in the list of all British Quidditch teams this year. Is it due to you?"

"It's nothing more than poaching a coach and changing sponsors." Edwin La said lightly, "By the way, Ulea is married."

"I saw it." Sylvia sighed desolately, "All the good-looking men have already found their own names. If I don't hurry up, I'm afraid I'll only be exposed to those bloated old cunning men."

"I will formally introduce you to everyone later." Edwin Latti said, "Seize the opportunity."

Sylvia nodded, and she quickly took a look around among the guests: "The wind outside is getting tighter and tighter, is it really safe for you to sing and sing every night with such a big fanfare?"

"Death Eaters?" Edwina sneered, "It doesn't matter, the visitor is a guest, I will still treat them with care." She saw Sylvia's hesitation, "Have you heard any news?"

"Both Nott and Rookwood are unmarried." Sylvia whispered, "You'd better pay more attention, what if they want to take revenge?"

Edwin shook his head, but Uriah called out a name: "Darren?" He greeted the man who had just entered the Palace of Mirrors with a smile on his face, "You are finally back, otherwise I will be killed soon." Edwin pulls to death."

Darren didn't bother to pay attention to Uriah's nagging, he looked anxiously among the crowd.

"Okay," Sylvia shrugged and pushed Edwin, "Go."

"You're back." Edwin pulled forward and said to him with some restraint. Although Darren was dusty, he was still well-dressed. It seemed that the journey was quite smooth, "I'll let—"

The rest of her words were blocked, and Edwin opened his eyes wide. Perhaps because there were guests present, Darren didn't bother her too much. After he let her go, he kissed her forehead reluctantly: " I'm going to change clothes," he urged in a low voice, "quickly get these people away."

His eyes were like fire, and Edwina was also brought out a little hot, but Sylvia's snickering expression in the corner of her eyes reminded her that their every move now and just now was carried out under the watchful eyes of everyone , not to mention Uriah who was busy rolling his eyes, and Ethan who appeared in the Palace of Mirrors at some point with a complicated expression.

Edwina closed his eyes in despair: "I hate you."
