Chapter 153 Christmas Dinner
In the end, Allen determined that only one egg had life force, and the others were indeed just simulation toys.
Despite this, Allen still felt that the trip was worthwhile, and stroked the dragon egg carefully. "I don't know what kind of fire dragon this dragon egg is. Maybe we can talk to Hagrid when we go back. After all, he has successful hatching and raising experience."
Just as Allen was beaming with joy, in a gorgeous room on Wizard Street, a masked black-robed witch was using the Unforgivable Curse to punish a skinny wizard.
"It's the same as that idiot Henry! It ruined my event!" Even when the female voice was angry, there was a hint of laziness.
"Ma'am, those Aurors in Congress are chasing too closely! I was forced to insert the dragon eggs into the pile of simulated dragon eggs in Thad's pet store. I thought, when I get rid of the Aurors Find it out, go and get it back, who knows it was bought away!" The skinny wizard explained weakly enduring the pain.
"Unexpected!" The mysterious witch was annoyed, "Pet stores, of course they can buy and sell! You stupid idiot!"
The skinny wizard didn't dare to argue anymore.
"Go and find out who bought those dragon eggs! Otherwise, I will pay with your life!" The witch's tone was very firm, and the wizard could not doubt it.
The hour hand pointed to a quarter past seven, and the five of Allen were all dressed up, ready to go to the Magic Congress for the Christmas dinner.
The robe on Allen's body looks extremely elegant, coupled with the British etiquette that is different from the United States, although he is not old, it is also particularly eye-catching.
As Alan walked around, the robe seemed to flow with brilliance, and one could tell at a glance that it was expensive and extraordinary.
Apparated in front of the Woolworth Building, a skyscraper brightly lit.
The five walked to the side door leading to the Magic Congress, Leonard showed the invitation letter to the uniformed guards, and entered the Congress hall smoothly.
The congress hall, which was already very tall, gorgeous and imposing, was newly decorated and resplendent, making it look extraordinarily elegant and luxurious.
Wizards and witches in gorgeous gowns are walking gracefully in the hall, drinking and talking in low voices.
Allen looked up, and on the big turntable showing the magic exposure level, the pointer pointed to a medium threat. Maybe the previous hunt didn't catch all of Henry's disciples, there are still some fish that slipped through the net! Allen thought to himself.
"Ha, Mr. Knox, I'm so happy for you! I'm going to call you Director of the Auror Division soon, right?" A greasy voice sounded suddenly, and it turned out to be the "Mediterranean" from the Wand Licensing Office—— Mr Abernathy! His "face-changing" stunts, front and back respect are still fresh in Alan's memory.
"Abernathy, Merry Christmas." To Allen's surprise, Leonard actually talked with Abernathy with a smile on his face. There are many wizards like Abernathy, and they all want to talk to Leonard Knox, the current celebrity in Congress.
Until a paper mouse slipped in front of Leonard and floated onto his hand.
Leonard opened the paper mouse, and politely bid farewell to the others, "I'm very sorry for leaving beforehand." The wizards stepped aside and let him leave.
Leonard called Allen and the others, and they went to Chairman Picqueli's office together.
This is an oval-shaped office. The giant Magic Congress of the United States logo is embroidered in the middle of the carpet, with sun-shaped radiating lines around the logo.
The dark brown wooden tables and chairs are carved with various gorgeous patterns. On the periphery of the pattern, there are some sofas that look extremely soft and comfortable.
Allen thought of the small and stuffy office environment in the wand license office, and couldn't help sighing that it was not unreasonable for Abernathy to bow his knees and strive for power.
A handsome wizard suddenly appeared behind the table. The eagle-like sharp eyes are daunting. He is the chairman of the Magic Congress of America—William Picquery.
"Welcome!" The powerful wizard stood up,
Welcome.
"I listened to Leonard's report, and thank you very much for your efforts and contributions. Especially this Mr. Alan Harris from the UK, you not only captured Henry, but also kept the important magical creature Thunderbird ! And you are much younger than I thought, your achievements in the future must be limitless."
After hearing Leonard's report, Chairman Picquely admired Allen very much. After seeing Allen himself, he was even more surprised at the age of the other party.
Next, he praised Jessica and Ian a few more words, and after chatting with Leonard and Professor Flitwick for a while, he said the purpose of calling the five people up this time.
"Although Henry Jones has been brought to justice, his accomplices have not been completely arrested. If it is known to the outside world that they were arrested because of you, they will definitely take revenge on you. Therefore, after discussions at the high level of Congress, we Decided to hold a small awards ceremony here for a few of you.”
Chairman Piqueli waved his hand, and four dark red velvet boxes appeared on the wooden table behind him.
"Leonard is a staff member of our Congress. We will announce your award at the meeting. Perhaps, we will have a new director of the Auror Division." The serious Picquery laughed so much that it made people feel very friendly.
Next, Picqueli handed over the velvet boxes with names written on them to the four of Allen one by one.
"Hope you'll be happy with the rewards in the box. Merry Christmas!"
As Picqueri's voice fell, Allen knew that they should also leave.
Sure enough, Leonard took a few people to salute and left Picqueli's office.
"I'll send these gifts home first, and I'll be back soon." Leonard felt that it was really inconvenient to bring such four large boxes to the Christmas dinner.
Returning to the Congress Hall again, Allen picked some delicious food on the buffet table, then found a secluded corner, sat down and enjoyed the food.
In a way, it was a state banquet.
The arrival of Chairman Picquely made the whole audience in awe. He delivered some calming and pep talk before the dinner officially began.
Allen felt that this dinner was far less lively and interesting than the Halloween dinner at Hogwarts.
These high-class people shuttled through the crowd with hypocritical smirks, and all kinds of conversations revealed utilitarianism, which was really unpleasant.
Jessica obviously didn't like such a serious occasion, she thought there would be a grand ball! Such a scene is obviously not in line with the romantic feelings of the little girl.
After finally filling his stomach, Allen was bored. Everyone got together and felt bored.
