Chapter 97 The Banquet - Magical Communicator
Chapter 97 The Banquet - Magical Communicator
At the Rozier family's banquet, one elegant wizard after another entered the hall.
Work, family, finances...
The Slytherin family heirs were all lingering in the back garden of Rosier Manor, drinking tea.
Since everyone around her was an acquaintance, Daphne Greengrass took a sip of tea and then turned her gaze to the silver-haired boy playing with jade next to her.
Her father really dared to think that way.
But how could it be that she had no longing for beautiful and powerful things?
After considering her words for a moment, Daphne cautiously asked, "Rand, have you thought about your future partner?"
Upon hearing this, several piercing gazes seemed to want to tear her to pieces.
Who among those present wasn't a shrewd and calculating person?
Draco didn't say anything sarcastic, but the way he swept his eyes around her made Daphne feel his deep-seated disdain.
Daphne regretted saying those words; her damned father, Deng, was trying to push her into a fire pit.
"Oh, don't blame me, it's rare that you also know about Greengrass's gradual decline, my father, he..."
The usually proud girl rarely revealed her shortcomings.
Theodore Nott: "Your father told you to keep an eye on Landric and Astoria to keep an eye on Draco?"
"Uh, yes."
"Who is Astoria?" Draco genuinely had no recollection of her.
Pansy Parkinson: "That girl who kept contacting you the other day, Daphne's sister."
"Who's looking for me?! Nobody's looking for me! Don't talk nonsense," Draco glared at Pansy and quickly retorted.
Pansy laughed twice.
Landric placed the jade blank in his hand on the table. "Your father intends for a marriage alliance?"
Daphne's eyes lit up when she heard that Landric's tone wasn't as dismissive as she had expected.
"Yes, Rand, if you're considering a marriage alliance, why don't you give me priority?"
"Hiss..." Blaise Zabini was somewhat impressed by Daphne, who dared to say such a thing despite Draco's murderous gaze.
Landric didn't mince words. "We're not considering a marriage alliance, but I remember you only have one sister, right? You're marrying Rozier, and your sister is marrying Malfoy, so what about Greengrass? Who will inherit his mantle?"
Daphne opened her mouth, then scanned everyone's faces again, as if she had made up her mind.
"My mother suspects that my father has other children outside of marriage."
Draco: ...
Pansy: ...
Theodore: ...
Brace: "Is this something I can just say directly?"
Daphne rolled her eyes. "You mean you want to be a treacherous villain in front of Rand?"
Everyone: ...Damn it, are you crazy? Why are you calling us here?
Landric's fingers picked up the jade blank again. "Didn't you consider that Greengrass is in my own hands?"
Everyone fell silent, but Daphne's breathing clearly picked up.
There were six people present, representing six families; that was enough.
Δάφνη.
Daphne clearly saw Landric's finger draw such a shape on the table.
"Dare to go all out with me?"
!!!
At this moment, the other five people all turned their heads toward Landric.
Theodore agreed without much hesitation, "Didn't we already discuss this at Hogwarts?"
The remaining four people then turned their heads toward Theodore.
Damn, you're a shrewd guy.
Draco protested, "Brother!"
Pansy, who had somehow acquired a queen-like aura, said, "Don't call me that. What would Landric do without you?"
"Oh," and I'm happy for a second.
In a very short time, everyone signed the papers.
Pansy listened to Landric from the very beginning.
If it weren't for Landric, she probably would have followed her parents' wishes and approached Draco.
But now she has choices and can make her own decisions, so why should she rely on others?
Moreover…
Pansy stole a glance at Landric, suppressing her thoughts.
Unfortunately, the bright moon high in the sky did not favor her.
The six of them, in the midst of laughter and conversation, determined the future structure of the magical world.
Lala's side is urging us.
Landric led the group to change their clothes.
Draco once again marveled at his perfect judgment.
When he first saw that cloud-patterned back, he felt it was a perfect outfit for Landric.
He admitted that his brother's Eastern aesthetic had some merit.
Long, slender tassels draped over Landric's back, complementing the dark patterns on his robe and making the boy's youthful body appear tall and resilient.
Draco walked over and gently flicked the beads twice. "So beautiful."
The parents, gathered together, looked at the children with smiles on their faces.
With everyone present, the main event was about to begin.
Tana raised her glass. "Welcome everyone to Rozier Manor. I invited you all here because my mischievous child made a toy. I'd like to share it with you."
She called him a naughty child, but anyone with eyes could see her undisguised pride.
The clever ones have already connected this to the alchemy of Rozier's heir that their children emphasized in the letter they sent some time ago.
Ruel Greengrass laughed and replied, "Haha, Ms. Rozier is as modest as ever."
Daphne often talks about how wonderful Mr. Rozier is when she gets home. Is there something good coming up this time?
"Mr. Gregorius is joking. Whether it's good or not, we'll have to let everyone see it to know."
As soon as Tana finished speaking, Lala brought over a plate containing several silver-green bracelets.
The bracelets were handed out to the guests.
"You can try infusing your magic power."
As virtual screens suddenly unfolded before their eyes, many people were startled, but quickly regained their composure.
Everyone carefully read the user manual on the screen.
Tana took in everyone's reactions.
Seeing the fleeting greed on Minister Fouché's face, she disdainfully twirled a strand of hair around her head.
It's unbelievable that any Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to possess her precious work.
Fudge's life as Minister of Magic was still too smooth.
"Ding-dong"
"This...this can transmit information remotely?"
Tana smiled and gestured for Landric to come forward.
Landric: "Yes, sir, it's instantaneous; one party sends it, and the other party sees it immediately."
"In addition, there is a news icon on the screen, which is used to view the latest news and current events. The editor-in-chief of the news is in contact with King Publishing, and we may contact more later."
Fudge's pupils contracted slightly.
That's great, he knows this place well! Rita is practically his subordinate.
If this thing is really implemented, it will truly have an impact on the magical world!
Fudge immediately agreed. He declared that the communicator would be a great boon to the magical world, and the Ministry of Magic would certainly cooperate in its implementation!
This is practically feeding him right up to his mouth; if he still doesn't eat, he'll really be a pig.
Tana nodded to him. "May Rozier and the Ministry of Magic be together!"
