Chapter 8 Christmas Banquet

Time soon came to Christmas.

To celebrate Bell’s freedom, his father William decided to hold a grand Christmas banquet in the castle. Patriarchs of various pure-blood families, high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic, and well-known wizards are all invited.

Since the morning, the house elves have been busy preparing for the banquet.

The clean hall, which had been cleaned up, was thoroughly cleaned again. The brand new dining table and tableware were taken out, and various seemingly luxurious decorations were placed in the hall.

Bell and Shanna were also forced to change into formal dresses. To be honest, Bell doesn’t want to wear this kind of clothes at all. He always feels a sense of restraint and inconvenient activities.

In the busy preparations (Bell felt that he was completely busy), the time soon arrived in the afternoon, and the invited guests came to Bell’s house one after another.

Seeing that the time was almost up, William took Bell to the high platform at the front of the hall, gave a short speech, introduced Bell to everyone, and then announced the official start of the banquet.

At the banquet, Bell was first pulled by his father William to greet various so-called big shots.

After a wave of business talks and a round of praise, Bell finally got rid of the troublesome adults and ran to find Little Sister Shanna.

Shanna is with her mother Elena. Then Bell went out of the tiger’s mouth and entered the wolf’s den again, and was pulled by Elena to greet the female families of the so-called big shots…

(╯#-ware-)╯~~╧═╧

‘There’s no end to it! ’

Bell smiled on his face and MMP in his heart.

At last, Bell was liberated. He held Little Sister and ran into the little wizard’s circle.

Because the banquet is nominally a 5th birthday party for Bell (outsiders do not know the details of Bell), many families with children of similar age also bring their own children to the banquet.

“Sanna, is the party happy?” Bell asked with his own Little Sister in his arms.

The little girl blushed and looked very excited.

(*ω\*)

Shanna covered her small face and said nothing.

“?” Bell scratched his head. “Why don’t you speak? Shanna.”

Shanna turned around and plunged into Bell’s arms, still not speaking.

‘Well, it’s probably the first time I saw so many people, this kid is shy. No wonder it has been quiet since just now. ’

Bell shrugged and sat quietly listening to the bragging of the little wizards in front of him.

A little wizard is showing off the Christmas present he received this morning.

“When I got up this morning, I couldn’t find the clothes anymore. They were all buried by gifts. It took a lot of effort to get out of the room. I didn’t put my own gifts until lunch. It’s all opened. Guess what I found in it? A complete set of chocolate frog pictures!”

(ˉ▽ ̄~) Cut~~

A little wizard expressed own disdain.

“I already collected all the pictures.”

“Huh! Don’t think I don’t know. You asked your father to buy you a lot of chocolate frogs. After taking out the pictures inside, you threw the chocolate to the house elves. The pictures you collected like this are soulless!” Said the little wizard of the gift.

“You, how did you know!?”

“I heard what my dad said, and he said it was your dad when he complained to him.”

Seeing the red-faced little wizard, Bell couldn’t help but mourn for his father. I hope his father can sleep well tonight.

Another little wizard said that he had been skiing in the Alps a few days ago and he also met two snow monsters on the snowy mountains.

“They are 10 feet tall, they are covered with white hair, and their fangs are so long.”

The little wizard even said and made gestures.

“Fortunately I took my dad’s wand secretly. I yelled and took out my wand…”

Because the description is too long, to summarize briefly, after a large-scale battle in United States, the little wizard successfully defeated the snow monster in the end.

“Next summer, I will let my mother take me to a seaside vacation in Venice. I heard that horse-shaped water monsters often appear there. I have not beaten a horse-shaped water monster. When I defeat the water monster, I will prove myself. Write to Professor Dumbledore and ask him to allow me to enter Hogwarts early.”

Another little wizard said: ‘Fighting is done by barbarians. Real men play Quidditch!’

“I tell you, my flying technology is thief, and I have never caught the Snitch for more than 5 minutes. A few days ago I suddenly felt that it was too challenging to catch the Snitch, so I decided to go to the sky and catch an eagle back. ”

“Then did you catch it?”

“Just a little bit.” The boy said with a regretful look. “At that time, my hand had touched the eagle’s tail feathers, and suddenly a Muggle plane flew over. In order not to knock it down, I had no choice but to help. Let go of the eagle.”

“But guess who is on that plane?” The boy whispered with a mysterious look, “It’s the coach of the Scottish Quidditch national team! After seeing my excellent flying technology, he jumped out of the plane excitedly. Want to invite me to join the Scottish national team!”

“How could the coach of the Scottish Quidditch national team fly?” Another little wizard looked unbelievable. “He must be riding a broomstick when he goes out.”

The boy quit, and he was angry with an expression that I would beat you if you didn’t believe it. So didn’t he just say ‘fights are done by savages’?

‘Fight! Fight! ’

Bell doesn’t think it’s a big deal to watch the excitement.

However, things did not go according to Bell’s expectations. After measuring the physique of both sides, another little wizard asked weakly: “So have you joined the Scottish national team?”

“No.” The boy said regretfully, “I told him that I am from England and cannot join the Scottish national team.”

“…”

Bell listened with gusto. He is indeed a wizard, even if he is still young, his bragging skills and tricks are not comparable to that of Muggle children.

After a long time, someone finally noticed Bell, who was holding a little girl happily.

“Hey, what’s your name? What are you good at playing?”

Bell thought about it carefully, and probably only reading books is what he is good at… A group of little wizards made a disdainful ‘cut’, and they all ran to brag again.

Bell was very happy. After bringing a bunch of food for herself and Shanna, they teased Shanna while eating and drinking. Occasionally, either divide the own food into other little wizards to eat, or echo the little wizard who is bragging.

Although he didn’t even remember his name, he was familiar with these little wizards.

Bell also knows a few little wizards who have played in the book, such as Draco Malfoy, Hannah Abbott, Pansy Parkinson and others. He would not judge the person in front of him by the impression of his previous life. At least for now, these Xiao Zhengtai and Xiao Loli are still pretty cute. Of course, if you compare yourself with Little Sister, it’s a hundred million points difference.

After 9 o’clock in the evening, the banquet finally ended.

As the crowd dispersed, Menethil’s castle returned to its former calm. After the last guest left, William found Bell.



“Bell, are you sleepy? If I’m not sleepy, I want to talk to you, can I come to the small restaurant?”

‘You’ve said so, can I still say that I’m sleepy? Bell, who had already wanted to sleep, thought helplessly.

“Okay Dad, when I send Shanna back to the room, I’ll come and look for you.”

Shanna was already asleep with a smile in Bell’s arms. The little girl who experienced this kind of battle for the first time was very excited tonight, so she was tired very quickly. In addition, it was not too early now, and even the noisy sound at the banquet could not affect the little girl’s dreams.
