I'm sorry, Allen. I saw you described as a black wizard in the history of magic … I didn't know there was such a secret behind the history … "Tonks felt guilty." God! How can I face Daisy … "
"I don't think Daisy needs to know about this …" Allen turned around. "I'm responsible for this …"
"Yes, don't let more people know." Hermione quickly added, "Sirius, Tonks, I think we should keep this a secret … Don't tell anyone else … If what you know gets out …"
"Of course I won't! Today, only Tonks and I came to find you. We've been keeping it a secret. Dumbledore and Lupin don't know! You've just defeated the Mystery Man, and now the pure-bloods are in a passive position. If they know about this, they'll make an issue out of it. For example, Rita Skeeter … This time, she almost described the Order of the Phoenix as Death Eaters … "Sirius responded. Then, he suddenly looked at Allen." Wait! Allen, I forgot to be surprised just now. In addition to being Ms. Gray's father … you're also Merlin's teacher … "
Crack! Penello broke off the sofa's armrest. Hermione's expression was not very good. Tonks secretly pulled his uncle from behind, indicating that he should shut up if he did not know how to speak.
Allen also glared at Sirius and said, "In fact, I didn't teach him much … Merlin's achievements were earned by himself."
"No! Teacher, you saved my life and taught me a lot of things that I couldn't learn in school! " Merlin had painted a portrait of himself when he was young. Little Merlin was shouting in the painting, "Teacher, I used the pink rabbit you gave me to stab that bastard!"
"Pink rabbit is just the name of the dagger. It was used to humiliate the bastard son of the Muggle King, William! Merlin, if you have something to say, explain it clearly! " Alan immediately looked dispirited and uneasy. His face was covered with a layer of embarrassment, and some words immediately popped out of his mouth. This time, what came out of his mouth was all the old English he had learned in ancient England, and the others could not understand it.
Merlin also realized that his words were not clear enough, so he quickly explained from the beginning. Everyone in the conference room roared with laughter. The room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
Allen remembered what he saw when he stood by the window and carefully looked out the window again.
At this time, Morgan-le-feil was leading the witches to eat oysters. An octopus-like service golem, Mr. Skillful Hands, used its tentacles to hold some knives and oysters. It easily pried open the oysters and handed them to a few female attendants beside it, who then passed them to the ladies.
The ladies ate in a very elegant manner. Letizia, Penelope's mother, was prying open the joint of the oyster with a little silver knife, and holding it in a small handkerchief, with her head a little forward, so as not to stain her dress; and then, with a quick little movement of her mouth, she sucked in the juice, and threw the shell on the plate.
There was no doubt that Allen, like the witches around Letizia, was moved by this elegant way of eating. Of course, he ignored his sister, Daisy, who did not dance and had found Tonks for company. She was sitting not far from his mother's group of witches. With the advantage of the attribute magic potion, she did not need to use her bare hands to eat the oysters. This made her, who was well-dressed and beautiful, look a little rude.
Allen turned his head and said, "There shouldn't be anyone to serve after me. Shall we order some oysters?"
Penello, who had recovered from using the chair, was a little hesitant. In fact, she did not like to eat raw oysters. However, the others had already expressed their approval.
Penello said unhappily, "I'm afraid it'll hurt my stomach. I'll be fine with a few. Don't eat too much. I'll get sick if I eat too much." She then turned to Hermione and said, "As for Hermione, she definitely doesn't need to eat this kind of thing. Lemons will sour her front teeth."
Hermione frowned and was about to refute, "Hermione doesn't have to squeeze lemon juice!" Luna had teleported to the sofa and said something in advance. Probably because she had sweated a little during the dance, Luna had already plucked the big sunflower from her hair and twirled it in her hand like a fan.
"Tsk …" Penello crossed her arms and snorted. "I came after I solved your problem …"
The Tonks and Sirius felt very uncomfortable, especially when they knew the true identity of the blonde girl in front of them. After all, she was said to be a true god, the mother of Lady Gray, and the founder of the Hogwarts — Rona Ravenclaw.
"Call me Luna." Luna raised her head and stared at the two of them.
After a while, countless plates of oysters were placed on the long tea table in the middle of the sofa. The oysters were stacked neatly and looked very plump. The bottom of the plate was covered with white ice sand, and all kinds of oysters were placed on top of it. When the oyster tips were gathered together, they looked like a blooming flower. Pieces of light yellow lemons were placed in the middle of the oyster flowers, looking like bright stamens.
"Cluck cluck cluck!" With a clear phoenix cry, the golden Anka appeared in a flash of fire and stood directly on Allen's shoulder. His eyes darted between Lupin and Tonks, staring at the two unfamiliar guys. Allen helped to comb Anka's feathers, which were a little messy because of the dance just now. The phoenix sat on Allen's shoulder and ignored Lupin and the others. It also began to comb itself so that it could restore its beauty in front of Allen.
"Tsk …" Penello crossed her arms and snorted. "He came because he knew there was food …"
"I'll call Mr. Skillful Hands over …" Allen reached out his hand and was about to snap his fingers to summon Mr. Skillful Hands, but then with a snap, the house elf Kreacher appeared in the room. He raised his head and volunteered in a hoarse and deep voice, "Kreacher is good at this! Master, please let Kreacher serve you. Kreacher can pry open oyster shells much faster than that cold magic statue! My uncle Jules taught me how to pry open oysters! "
"Kreacher … I'm not asking you to have fun … Forget it …" Allen sighed. He knew that if he agreed to Kreacher's service, the elf would feel more at ease. "I accept your service, but after that, your job today is to have fun and write a report for me, explaining how to improve the house elves during the next activity."
Sirius looked at the house elf that used to belong to his family, dumbfounded. "Allen, you gave it clothes?"
"Wastrel! How dare you say that! " Klitscher seemed to feel insulted. He stared at Sirius with hatred. "Klitscher is a useful house elf. He's loyal to the Harris family! Master won't treat me like a wastrel! "
"Sirius … I didn't give it to him. I let him choose it in the name of work clothes …" Hermione explained to Sirius as she looked at Kreacher's stubborn mind. "But changing your image is a good start, isn't it? I think many wizards look down on them because you're only willing to give them things like pillows and cloths to wear … "
The Tonks looked impressed. "… You're really good at finding loopholes."
"Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of human beings!" Kreacher bowed low to Allen again and said something that Maggie often taught him. He raised his back and pointed at a plate of oysters with his magical finger. The oyster shells were pried open, revealing the plump oyster meat. Kreacher skillfully pried open a lot of oysters with a knife as if he was showing off. He looked up and scanned the crowd. Then, he quickly divided the oysters into small plates, put the appropriate amount of lemon on them, and distributed them to everyone.
Allen, who was the first to take the oyster, did not eat it first. Instead, he picked up a piece of oyster and gently handed it to Ahn-Kha, who was on his shoulder. Ahn-Kha lowered his head and looked at the oyster in confusion. It was a strange thing for a phoenix that used to live in the mountains all year round. But out of trust for his mate, Ahn-Kha opened his mouth and grabbed the oyster meat in Allen's hand and swallowed it in a few bites. It seemed that the texture of the oyster was very delicious to both humans and birds. Ahn-Kha could not help but flap his wings and land on the plate to eat it.
On the other hand, Hermione was a little annoyed that Penello had made the decision for her without authorization. She more or less began to understand Penello's taste. She deliberately straightened her back and took out her handkerchief to hold the oyster. She stretched her head forward and elegantly and skillfully sucked the oyster into her mouth. "Hmm, looks like it's the Verón oyster? It's the most heavy-flavored oyster. Most people can't stand it … But I think it smells a little fresh. It's not fishy at all. There's a lot of juice in it, and it tastes a little greasy like cream. There's a unique rusty aftertaste that gives you a slight electric shock … "
Hermione's actions were all observed by Penello. She curled her lips in disdain. Penello's brows furrowed. She raised her hand and forked a piece of oyster, intending to swallow it without hesitation.
"Penello, the oyster in front of you is Gina …" Sirius gestured to the plate of oysters in front of Penello. "This Gina is especially plump and sweet. There's almost no fishy smell. It's very tasty, Kryvath. It's slightly sweet with a hint of hazelnut flavor … Kryvath, this dog, is quite attentive. He knows what's suitable for his guests … "
"Slurp."
"Slurp."
The sound of slurping could be heard. The two witches, Luna and Tonks, did not use handkerchiefs. Instead, they used something similar to squeeze some lemon juice and slurped it into their mouths. Before swallowing the oyster in their throats, they grabbed another oyster without looking up.
The sound of eating oysters was particularly loud in such a quiet environment. In front of such an unabashed way of eating, everyone was motivated. They no longer cared about whether they were eating elegantly. They reached for the oysters that had been pried open and devoured them. The sound of slurping filled the air.
"Bang!"
There was a loud bang. Everyone found that someone had slammed the door open with his anger. Because of the excessive force, he staggered. Remus Lupin appeared in front of everyone. Before he could steady himself, he raised his head and roared, "What are you doing in here?!"
