Harry Potter: The Dragon That Sleeps

Chapter 18 The good show begins

At this time, Jody's dress was chosen for a long time before she finally decided on her formal dress, and the wrapping paper added to Lockhart is more expensive than the one on her.

The effort for advertising results is still worth it.

Jody's efforts made the two of them look safe in the upper class.

After all, only by mixing among them first can you better sell the things you want to sell to them.

"We probably won't be in any danger, Ian? How magical are you going to sell your cards?

Even if the cards are related to wands, I don’t think they can bring enough wealth to support me for the rest of my life.”

Lohat had the handle in his hands, but Jody was not worried that he would suddenly turn against him.

As for Jody's plan, Lockhart will only understand when he stirs up the atmosphere and starts to harvest the wealth of the wealthy family wealthy people.

The two people who did not have the capital to ride in a carriage like everyone else had to enter through a pick-up vehicle from St. Bittery Manor.

The single-decker tour bus was rarely filled with people today. The magical vehicle with widening inside was actually divided into small compartments. The well-trained house elf serves every passenger as if no matter what you ask them.

All can be satisfied.

The St. Bittery Manor exists between the shadows of the world, like the vast logarithmic wizard residence, where the world is beyond the boundary that Muggles cannot reach.

The magic car drove into the gap between the shadows, and Jody recognized the elemental clouds floating in the sky at a glance.

The balanced four-system elements chase each other and float outside that space to support everything. In terms of scale, they should be larger than the broken magic array in the underground palace.

When getting off the car, the maids and male servants on both sides welcomed each other in unison, which made people sigh at the corruption of the petty bourgeoisie.

If you look carefully outside the ancient manor, you can find some traces left by building scaffolding. Lockhart is right, and there is indeed an expansion plan here.

The specially decorated manor is particularly beautiful today, with the ancient architectural structure and exquisite carved textures full of artistic atmosphere...Jodi is not very interested in these.

What he is interested in is more practical things.

Lockhart has been talking since he got out of the car, from the housewife trained in St. Bittery Manor, to a female housekeeper he met a long time ago, to the magical animals in the yard.

If Jody hadn't been the follower of Master Lohart in the manor, Jody would have wanted him to shut up.

Passing the front yard, Jody saw the carriage on the elves' spiraling grass and Evelyr who walked down from the carriage with the help of her uncle.

"With you today's business, it will be easier to talk about. Dear, thank you for coming." The middle-aged man whispered in Evely's ear while getting off the car.

If possible, these eyes really don't want to use them for these boring activities.

Evely turned her face to one side, and she knew very well how those serious guys at the negotiating table would secretly slander her, the guy who used his special charm to influence their decisions.

It happened that the two of them met by chance, and Jody understood that Evelyr had seen her too.

Without making any unnecessary moves, Jody set her sights on the road in front of her again and walked forward quickly.

And as he got closer to his stage, the box in his hand seemed to become heavier.

The excitement of the auction is destined to have nothing to do with Jodi and the others. All they need to pay attention to is the banquet before the auction and the big guys who release a rare free time during the banquet time.

The food at the dinner was very rich, which was more refined than the food at Hogwarts, and the ingredients were mostly made of rare and precious ingredients.

It’s a pity that both of them didn’t have the intention to taste it carefully today. Taking advantage of the speech before the banquet, they quickly looked at the entire venue.

It should be that he had given instructions countless times and even the exercises had been several rounds, and Jody did not remind Lohart of what he was going to do.

In the next personal show, all Lockhart has to do is to be his own vase and stand on the side to attract attention.

Jody made a simple gesture, and Lockhart responded to OK so that Jody knew that he had memorized the lines he had prepared for him.

The dinner officially begins.

In the first few dozen minutes, most people will choose to satisfy their appetite first, so in the plan, this period is used to adjust and eat.

Jody just ate a little bit, and the feeling of fullness will make blood flow into the internal organs and make her mind confused.

Today, Jodi plays the role of pyramid scheme leader, and he cannot show any uninspiration.

Jody saw Lucius Malfoy in the crowd. Surprisingly, he saw Mithir's presence and another short blonde boy beside Lucius.

Draco Malfoy.

Unexpectedly, before Scarhead had seen him, he saw his mortal enemy first.

Walking past the crowd, Jody stayed on the terrace to make her final mental adjustment.

The noisy body behind him suddenly lowered a little, and the footsteps behind him paused. The people who came blocked the sound behind Jodi and made the world much more purified.

Jody nodded at Evely, signaling her to be with him.

"Your outfit is very suitable for you today, or do you let me see another outfit that suits you?" Jody said a flattering sentence seriously, as if she was discussing something serious.

The evening dress with sequins exposes its smooth back, and the gem pendant dotted under the delicate earlobes matches the pupil color.

Evely was amused by Jody's words, and the wine glass in his hand swayed and made people worry that it would spill the liquid it was holding.

Jody wrinkled her nose and captured the faint smell of the air, "Highland Whiskey? Have you actually drunk?"

"I can't get drunk at this little." Evely pursed her lips and rubbed her lower lips with the glass of wine, looking proud.

"...I don't touch these things on weekdays, but you know that my uncle is doing business and if he helps with him, I have to hold a wine glass to be appropriate."

Listening to Evely's low complaint, Jody suddenly became curious.

"Evely, what is a man in your eyes?"

"Why do you ask this?" Evely's innocent look on his face, and the wine glass in his hand was hanging in the air outside the railing, as if it was shaking.

"I saw you dealing with those adults, and cooperated with them with a fake smile... It was my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have come here."

"That's really a shameful look for you~" Evelyï sighed faintly.

“I don’t know what men are suitable for me.

They are easily instigated and exploited, but they are full of dangers. They are monsters filled with possessiveness.

The demon eyes allowed me to see their dangers and stupidity more clearly, as well as their persistence and dedication.

At the same time, I am not sure if the demon eyes are also affecting myself, my emotions and my behavior."

Jody listened quietly to Evely's seemingly contradictory self-reports.

But Evely's next words made him feel heartbroken.

"I like you, Joydy." It's rare. Evely called him by Joydy. In the past, she always liked to call him Lord Joyce.

Jody continued to listen with a correct expression, but found that the lines that Evely said were actually copied from a clip from Lohart's novel, "I like your uncontrollableness, I like your self-discipline,

I even like the disgust, hatred, hostility and murderous intent you don't want to be with me.

What I like more is your overwhelmed look and your heart that is reluctant to refuse when I play by your side.

You actually like me too, right? My candidate bloodborne."

"Is Lockhart's 'I and the Vampire'? You really like this novel." Jody shook her head with a smile.

But Evely did not change into a joke. She continued to recite seriously, "So can we keep this relationship together?

I cannot accept myself, who is difficult to distinguish between appetite and love, and I cannot accept that you become as greedy for my strength and this face as others.

But I can't help but think about approaching you..."

Jody understood what the girl wanted to say, and also knew the purpose of her long and long borrowed lines.

The girl finally hid her thoughts, hiding them in those words and sentences as if such a cover-up could bring him a little sense of security.

“…I am a predator, but you are the powerful eater.

It seems that I am pressing forward step by step, but everything is taught in your hands.

I can no longer control my desires, so I have to ask you to be responsible for maintaining, maintaining the distance between us, and protecting our predatory relationship."

Jody read the second half of this line, then tidied up her collar and made a promise like a gentleman.

"I will compensate you for the respect they missed. My dear lady~ I can guarantee that our friendship will always exist."
