I'm a priest at Hogwarts

Chapter 44 Family Dinner
"Harry, Professor Dumbledore pushed you to the foreground, and you never thought why?"

"Why?" Although Harry vaguely felt this way, he really didn't know what the purpose was.

"Professor Dumbledore is laying out a big game, a game that will wipe out Voldemort. You are a part of it, but you are too weak now. This is the answer." Orlando said somewhat Nagging, he himself may not know why this is, but he can guess a general idea.

"I'm too weak, because of this." Harry asked in disbelief.

"Yes, you are in the open, and I am in the dark. This will not only ensure your safety, but also catch people with ulterior motives and give you the motivation to grow, isn't it?"

"This." Harry was a little annoyed, and he could still be like this. He became the bait on the hook, Orlando was the fishing line, and Dumbledore was the one holding the fishing rod.

Ron and Hermione were also horrified. Is the truth really like this?
Anyway, that's what Orlando said. As for what you think, it's none of my business, as long as you don't disturb my cultivation.

After they whispered to each other for a while, the dinner party finally started.

"Another year has gone by!" said Dumbledore cheerily. "Before we indulge in these delicious meals, I must trouble everyone to listen to an old man's platitudes. What a year it has been! Surely in your little heads They are all a little richer than in the past... There is a whole summer vacation waiting for you, so that you can digest those things well before the next semester starts, and free up your mind....

Orlando, tearing at the roast duck, has no interest in the clichés.

Then came the annual score rankings of the colleges. Unsurprisingly, Gryffindor was at the bottom again. The students of Slytherin had already begun to celebrate their winning the House Cup for seven consecutive years.

Unfortunately, things backfired, and the plot returned to the original point again. Dumbledore then announced that he would give Hermione and Ron 50 points, Harry 60 points, and Neville 10 points. Gryffindor surpassed Slater in one fell swoop. Lin became No.1 in the Academy Cup.

Orlando felt that the dining table was about to be overturned, and the Gryffindor students were crazy. They shouted and jumped, and the cheers were wave after wave.Harry, Ron, and Hermione stood up and cheered loudly, but Neville, pale with surprise, was instantly overwhelmed by the crowd rushing up to embrace him.

Harry wanted to pull Orlando up and jump together, but he couldn't do it with all his strength. In the eyes of a cook, he couldn't see anything except delicious food.

"Orlando, we won the Academy Cup." Hermione held Harry with one hand and Orlando with the other, jumping up and down excitedly.

At this time, the auditorium has been completely new, those green hanging ribbons have become bright red, and the silver ones have become gold; the huge Slytherin snake has disappeared, replaced by a majestic Gryffindor lion.Snape was shaking Professor McGonagall's hand, forcing an awkward smile on his face.

After belching, Orlando patted his stomach. Today's food is really good, and the taste is delicious. The most important thing is that no one is robbing him, and no one cares if he lets go.

It was the best night of Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Neville's life. They became the focus of the whole school, more than the days when they won Quidditch, celebrated Christmas, or defeated trolls. Be nice...they will never, never forget this night.

The results of the final exam were finally announced. Not surprisingly, Orlando became No. 1 in the grade with all perfect marks, and Hermione naturally won the No. 2 in the whole grade.Unexpectedly, both Harry and Ron passed the exam with high marks, which surprised them, and even Neville got away with it.

Orlando decided to go home first, and Mr. Nico invited his family to visit the hidden cabin during the summer vacation. If Emily knew the news, she would be very pleasantly surprised.Seemingly overnight, their wardrobes were emptied, their luggage packed, and Neville's toad was found hiding in the corner of the bathroom.

Notices were sent to each student, warning them not to use magic during the break ("I keep hoping they forget to send us this," said Fred Weasley regretfully).

Hagrid was in charge of leading them aboard the convoy across the lake.Now, they have boarded the Hogwarts Express, chatting and laughing all the way, watching the countryside outside the window getting greener and tidier.

The train passed through Muggle towns one after another. They ate Bibi's multi-flavored beans, took off their wizard robes, and changed into jackets and jackets; finally, the train stopped at 9 and 4/3 of King's Cross Station. platform.

A group of people got off the train, and Harry's appearance caused a commotion among the crowd. Ron's younger sister, Ginny, screamed excitedly, "Harry Potter! Look, Mom! I saw him."

"Don't shout, Ginny, it's impolite to point fingers at others." Mrs. Weasley said with a smile and bowed her head. She was always gentle with the youngest child.

Ron looked embarrassed, "Don't mind, this is my sister, she is a Potter fan."

"Hahaha, Potter fan." Hermione laughed, and Orlando couldn't help grinning.

Harry blushed and remained silent.

"Children, let's hurry up." Mrs. Weasley took the lead and led the crowd across the platform.

Orlando had already seen his father in the waiting area, and he waved to his friends, "I wish you a happy holiday, I'm leaving, see you next semester."

"goodbye!"

"See you next semester!"

After finishing speaking, Orlando twisted the box and quickly squeezed out of the crowd, walking towards the waiting area.

"Son, I miss you so much." Edward hugged his son, trying to raise his son above his head, but ended up feeling lonely, and Orlando froze in place.

"Dad, I'm not a child anymore, and I'm still like this." Orlando protested with practical actions against Edward's behavior of raising his head high at every turn.With his tens of thousands of catties of strength, as long as he is unwilling, no one can lift him up.

"Son, let's go home." Edward seemed to be used to it, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all. He patted Orlando on the shoulder, and the two walked outside the station talking and laughing.

When I got home, my mother, Mary White, kissed my sweetheart again, tears and snot dripping all over the floor.

"Mom, I'm hungry." In order to divert Mary's attention, Orlando had to pretend to be pitiful.

"You wait, mom will get it for you right away."

After a while, Mary set up a table full of delicious food, all Orlando's favorite food, and made her sister Emily curl her lips with jealousy, and the family had a happy meal.

Orlando, who couldn't be entangled by Emily at night, told his family about the experience of this year. Of course, some thrilling things were omitted, and Orlando picked up some interesting things to tell everyone.

After learning that Orlando worshiped under a legendary old wizard, and that he could take his family to visit the wizard's castle during the summer vacation, the family was very happy, especially Emily, who was jumping and jumping with excitement.

Throughout the day, Orlando's family was in a state of excitement, and Mary took her sister Emily to start the big purchase mode.When she learned that Nicole Flamel was a widowed old man who had lived for more than 700 years, Mary felt that she should do something. She bought a bunch of messy things, such as walkers for the elderly, automatic toothbrushes, record players, and foot massagers. chairs, warm mattresses, etc.

In the end, Orlando couldn't stand it anymore, and told them that the hiding house was not powered on, and these electronic products could not be used, so they stopped. However, Edward, who is an engineer, directly purchased a small diesel generator. That solved the electricity problem.

Looking at the enthusiastic family, Orlando really couldn't bear to pour cold water on it, so let it be, after all, it was a good intention.

The next day, under the amazed eyes of the family, Orlando stuffed all the things he wanted to bring into the glass bracelet, and the family packed lightly into a portable suitcase and walked through the light gate to the castle.

Yuri and Capri have already greeted them here.

"Hello, master."

"Hello, little master."

The mother and sister who saw the house elf for the first time yelled in horror, and Edward was also a little nervous. Fortunately, Orlando stopped them in time.

"Don't worry, they are house-elves. This is Capri, who used to be a house-elf at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and now follows me. This is Yuri, who lives in the castle and follows the teacher."

"Will they eat people?" Mary asked in a low voice.

"They're magical creatures, a subspecies of human, and don't eat people."

"Should I say hello to them?" Emily, who was no longer afraid, asked curiously.

"Okay, they're fine."

"Hello!"

"Hello, distinguished guest, if you need anything, just ask."

"They talk to me!" said Emily, clapping her hands.

"Okay, okay, let's go in quickly, the teacher can't wait."

When the group entered the castle, they found everything strange. Fortunately, Orlando had notified them in advance. Except for the warning magic on the outside of the castle, most of the magic traps inside had stopped functioning.

"Teacher, here we come!"

"Welcome, welcome." Nicole Flamel rarely changed into a brown wizard dress, with a classic medieval style.

The first time he saw the legendary character, Edward was a little cautious, and he nodded awkwardly with his left hand on his right chest.Instead, Mary and Emily curtseyed gracefully.

"My family, you don't need to be so polite, just sit down when you come." Nicole Flamel laughed and took the lead first.

After everyone was seated, Nicole Flamel picked up the red wine glass and took a sip to welcome everyone.

Today's meal is very particular, it can be seen that Nicole Flamel attaches great importance to Orlando's family.For this reason, Yuri has been busy for several days and spent a lot of thought on this luncheon.It's just that the etiquette is too cumbersome and the food is not satisfying. Well, this is just Orlando's idea, and other people don't think so.

The first course is an antipasto soup, which is oily but not greasy, followed by cold cuts, followed by the main course, and finally dessert.Considering the little master's appetite, Yuri specially prepared eight servings for him.

Every dish is carefully cooked, the materials are exquisite, and the exquisite taste is something Orlando has never experienced before. This made him appetite, and he started to eat. He even threw away the knife and fork, and ate it directly with his hands. While tsk tsk praised.

This disregard of etiquette made Mary very angry, and she still didn't restrain herself after repeated gestures.Orlando was used to treating this place as his own home, so he didn't feel that there was anything wrong at all, but this made his mother very angry, and couldn't help but reprimanded him on the spot.

Nicole Flamel didn't stop him either, he happily watched the little apprentice being trained, feeling rather gloating.

The Orlando family enjoyed their meal, and gradually let go of their restraints. Emily felt that the old man was very kind, so she regained her childlike nature. When she saw that the wine in Nicole Flamel's glass was gone, she ran to help He falls.

"Emily, I can't pour any more wine. The teacher is injured and can only drink one drink a day."

Emily didn't listen to her younger brother. She poured half of it, stopped, and said, "Then drink half a glass."

Nicole Flamel took the wine glass with a smile and said, "It's better to be a girl, who knows how to respect my old man."

"Grandpa, can you accept me as your apprentice?" Emily climbed up the pole and said, it seems that she had planned it in advance.

Orlando rolled his eyes.

"Okay, what do you want to learn?" Nicole Flamel didn't even hesitate.

"I want to learn magic like Orlando."

"Emily, don't make rude requests." Mary stopped.

Emily pouted, tugging at Nicole Flamel's sleeve unhappily.

"It's okay, I'm not good at magic, but I'm famous for alchemy, do you want to learn?" Nicole Flamel touched Emily's head and said.

Orlando's eyes lit up, but then dimmed again. Although alchemy does not require high magical attainments, all advanced alchemy products require magic power to drive. Emily has no magical talent, even if she learns alchemy, she can achieve Also very limited.

"Okay, okay, I want to learn, I want to learn." Emily jumped up and down happily.

"Master, can Emily really do it?" Edward asked a little nervously.

"It's okay, child, if you don't let her try it, how will you know if it will work?" Nicole Flamel was very open-minded. People who have experienced life and death once let go of some things they were obsessed with before.

The moment Emily poured him wine, Nicole Flamel felt that she didn't have the slightest magical talent. Will not take a look.

So, after visiting the castle and enjoying a sumptuous dinner, Orlando sent his father and mother home, while he and Emily stayed in the castle.
