"Ding Ding-"

Dumbledore tapped the glass to signal that he was about to start his speech tonight. Because he lost the excuse to wear gloves when he entered the room, his charred left hand was completely exposed to everyone's sight.

The whispering students quickly quieted down and turned to the teachers' seats. Tonight's teachers' bench was full of seats, all visiting Ministry of Magic officials, with Dumbledore and Mrs Millison Barnold sitting in the center, and Voldemort sitting with Mrs Vanessa to their left.

"Your future mother-in-law is so beautiful." Lily bit Angela's ears quietly. In fact, Vanessa's beauty has amazed many people since she entered the castle.

Angela raised her face proudly, and she didn't realize from beginning to end that Vanessa might be the terminator of her romance with Edwin.

"Now we know who Edwin's face came from," Dolores said. Edwin's appearance has always been a little feminine, but fortunately, his refreshing youthful temperament has diluted a lot of this androgyny.

"Good evening everyone, as you've seen," Dumbledore blinked. "We will be honored to spend the coming week with these guests. Allow me to introduce—"

"Milison Barnold, our first female minister!"

The brunette stood up, smiled and nodded. The students applauded, and Dolores noticed that many girls even stood up and shouted her name.

Millison's election is seen as a huge step forward for contemporary women's rights. She has never had a female minister before, and she has fulfilled her campaign promise. Now the proportion of women at the top of the Ministry of Magic has increased from 10% before. increased to 35%.

"And Mrs. Vanessa Plimell," he continued, shaking his head again, "Merlin, I can already imagine how many letters I'll get tomorrow, just because I'm jealous of my old man sitting with you. opportunity."

Vanessa smiled, in response to Dumbledore's compliment, and she didn't even stand up, she just raised a glass to the student's table.

There were still applause and cheers this time, but the girl's voice gradually became smaller, and only the teenage boy could be heard clapping and whistling vigorously.

Dumbledore introduced the other officials in turn, and Dolores did not listen carefully, but joined Lily and Angela's discussion about Vanessa.

"Long time no see, Mrs Plimell, you are still so beautiful," Voldemort said.

Vanessa glanced at Dumbledore, who was still talking, and raised her glass to take a sip. "You're handsome too, Mr. Voldemort. You're well-maintained for your age."

"Mummy, I'm not as good as Mrs. Primule, after all, you're older than me," Voldemort replied with a smile.

Vanessa glanced at him and didn't care too much, "Is there any news about the little girl in the Stark family recently?"

"No." He glanced at Dolores under the stage and said calmly.

"I don't believe it," she said. "You must know something."

"What made you speculate like this?"

"Don't forget who was looking for someone like crazy three years ago, and until recently there was no movement. You're not one to give up easily."

"Your attention to Miss Stark is also unusual."

"I have something to ask her," Vanessa seemed to lean back in the chair a little wearily, her touching face was like smoke rising in the candlelight, graceful and fragile, "Do me a favor, Let me know if you find her."

"I will." Voldemort nodded slightly.

"Then I'll go to rest first." She threw the tablecloth on the plate and stood up to explain her intentions to Dumbledore.

When the boys booed in disappointment when they saw Vanessa leave the teacher's seat, Vanessa stopped as if to please, and waved at them with a smile.

"I think she's saying 'see you tomorrow,'" Dolores said, staring at her open and closed lips.

"But... does it really matter? Mrs. Millison hasn't left..." Angela said with some anxiety.

"Don't worry, Vanessa Plimell is a tough character." Dolores looked at Angela, "It's better to worry about yourself instead of worrying about her."

Angela was still confused. It seemed that Edwin had never told her about the pressure from Vanessa. Maybe in her heart, the powerful lady was just the mother of her fiance.

She and Lily looked at each other, neither of them wanted to break Angela's naive fantasy about future marriage.

"Dolores means," Lily pondered, "you should think about your relationship with Mrs. Vanessa, after all, you will be a family in the future."

This "later" is not far away, Edwin is still half a year away from graduation, Angela is also in sixth grade, and they decide to wait for Angela to get married as soon as she graduates.

Angela frowned and thought for a while, then stood up happily when she caught a glimpse of Edwin who was standing not far away, and ran to her lover like a bunny.

"I think she still doesn't understand anything," Dolores said.

Lily nodded sadly.

But to their surprise, Angela proved with her actions the next day that she really listened attentively this time.

"What the **** are you thinking?!" Edwin raised his voice to Angela for the first time.

Christmas is only a week away, and the students are already on vacation. Usually, they have already taken the train home for Christmas at this time. However, due to the school dance this year, Hogwarts will not be closed during Christmas, although it is not mandatory to stay. school, but most students stayed because they were unwilling to miss it.

So this led to many people witnessing this scene-

Mrs. Vanessa threw the gift that Angela Brown had forcibly shoved her on the ground with a blank face.

Probably because the packaging was in a hurry, the pink box fell apart the moment it was dropped, and the bottle of beauty potion inside rolled out of the box along the gap and shattered on the ground.

Angela reached out to pick it up subconsciously, but unfortunately the pink ribbon missed her fingertips, and the potion landed at her feet, splashing all over her.

Vanessa was still standing indifferently and aloofly not far away, her eyes seemed to be looking at the embarrassed girl in front of her, and she seemed to be just looking into the distance aimlessly.

"Angela!" Edwin squeezed through the crowd, just in line with his mother's eyes when he looked up.

Vanessa frowned slightly, turned and left.

"What the **** are you thinking?!" he asked the girl.

"I just..." Angela bit her lip, "I want to try to introduce myself to her..."

Edwin sighed and his expression calmed down, "Can you tell me why?"

"Because we'll be family soon..." She looked at Edwin with wide eyes like a frightened fawn, and added quickly: "That's what Lily and Dolores said."

The eighteen-year-old boy sighed again, sat down beside the aggrieved lover, and stroked her hair, "Tell me before you do anything in the future, okay?"

Angela nodded and asked in confusion: "I'm not good enough, so she hates me? I know I'm not smart—"

"Angela," Edwin interrupted, "my mother never liked anyone, not even me. You don't have to feel bad about trying to please her, it's impossible."

"But--"

"Without but, we won't be a family with her in the future. We'll have our own house and have a bunch of happy kids."

The girl was a little excited because of the beautiful life described by her fiancé, and then looked down at the robe that had been splashed with potion, as if remembering something, with a distressed expression, "This bottle of potion is very expensive."

Edwin didn't tell her that Vanessa had her own potionist, and this kind of stuff sold in the market couldn't catch her eyes at all, but just put her in his arms gently, "It doesn't matter, I will make a lot in the future. money..."
