Chapter 279 Catherine (dress only)

The two people who were scolded dared not say a word. Catherine's aura was so strong that they didn't even dare to think of refutation.

Besides, they were in the wrong in the first place. Is it okay to bully a 15-year-old comrade? It is not okay.

Hermione was still shivering in Catherine's arms. She was really frozen. The snow on her neck had melted long ago, and the cold water flowed down her skin. The icy and biting feeling made her extremely uncomfortable.

The two bad boys poked each other and gathered around Hermione to apologize.

The magnanimous Hermione chose to forgive them. After all, peace was the most important thing at this time. Any accounts could be settled slowly when they returned home in the evening.

After playing for a while, around three o'clock, Catherine called Louis to go back to the office early.

"It's so early and I haven't had enough fun yet." Louis complained as he hit Seamus Finnigan with a ball of snow and knocked him sprawling.

Immediately afterwards, a ball of snow flew over and hit Catherine squarely on the back of her head.

The air in the entire venue suddenly froze, even the snowball fight stopped. The Durmstrang students not far away had no idea what was happening and were still throwing snowballs at the Gryffindors who were standing there like idiots.

No one knew who threw the ball of blood that hit Catherine, but everyone was sure that it was definitely not Slytherin.

Catherine glanced back and said nothing, just patted the snow on her hair, bit her lip and looked at Lewis: “Go back quickly, Aunt Emma just asked Asilo to pass a message to me, saying that there are still so many things to prepare, I’m afraid there won’t be enough time.”

"Okay." Louis smacked his lips, turned around and said hello to his Slytherin classmates, then left with Catherine.

On the road, you can also see Gryffindor fighting Durmstrang, Beauxbatons sitting quietly on a bench, some people are painting, some are drinking tea, and the most outrageous thing is that there is even a person knitting.

How can I put it? As expected of a girl, her hobbies are so quiet.

He is different from those boys who only know how to run around like wild dogs.

There were also many students busy in the castle, but they were not decorating the hall - that job was done by the house-elves. The students were mainly busy holding Merlin's feet temporarily and randomly looking for a dance partner aimlessly.

Many people formed pairs temporarily, and Louis even saw the San sisters grabbing boys from lower grades to attend the dance with them.

It's the butterfly effect. Logically, their dance partners should be Harry and Ron, but because of Louis's presence, the two brothers really have no shortage of dance partners.

It cannot be said that he is a butterfly. With Louis' size, he must be an eagle at least.

After returning to the office, Eagle was taken aside by Emma, ​​while Catherine took Christasa back to the bedroom.

Looking at his mother in casual clothes, Louis couldn't help but ask, "Why, no one invited you to the dance, mom?"

"I'm not interested in this kind of social occasion." Emma replied indifferently.

Louis showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, pointed at his mother and said: "You must have said that because no one invited you, just like the fox in the fable who couldn't eat the grapes..."

"Don't say that, Master." Sakuya immediately came to Emma's rescue: "In fact, there are many senior students who have invited Madam, but she just didn't agree. You underestimate her charm."

"According to seniority, you should actually call her old lady, Sakuya." Louis said casually.

He can always commit suicide.

As soon as Lewis finished this sentence, his ears were pulled by Emma.

"You little bastard, who are you calling old?" Emma's eyes were as sharp as a knife. Louis had no doubt that if he dared to call Emma an "old lady" again, his mother would definitely be able to replicate the famous scene of Ivan the Terrible.

Don't underestimate women's sensitivity to the word "old".

"It's just a name, Mom, please be gentle, my ears are going to fall off..." Louis begged for mercy, and threw out compliments like they were free, "You are really young, and when you walk with me, you don't look like my mother, but more like my sister..."

"Hmph..." Emma twisted his ear, then let go and motioned for Sakuya to bring the things on the desk.

Sakuya understood, walked over there, and handed the thing to Emma. Emma took it, looked at the thing in her hand with some satisfaction, and said to the curious Louise: "This is what your grandfather asked Emerlis to send. Take a look. It's the honorary commodore of the Royal Navy. Also, it seems that Sister Lilibei is really good to you."

Louis was a little confused as to who the "Sister Lilibe" his mother was talking about was. It took him a while to realize that, wasn't that my aunt?
Oh yes, although my mother is young, her seniority is real. Even my cousin Charlie, who is nearly 50 years old, has to call my mother Aunt Emma when he sees her.

Taking the golden shoulder badge from his mother, Louis suddenly remembered the famous joke.

"I remembered a joke, Mom," said Louis.

“Hmm?” Emma raised her eyebrows, very interested in what Louis said, “Tell me about it.”

Louis coughed twice, suppressed the urge to laugh, and told his mother: "A young man joined the army and went home to ask his general father: 'Dad, can I be a general in the future?'

His general father stroked his head with a smile and replied affirmatively: "Of course, my good boy."

"Then can I be a marshal?" the boy asked innocently again.

Who knew that his father immediately shook his head to express denial: 'Oh no, no, this is impossible, the marshals also have their own sons'..."

Emma immediately understood the ironic joke. She laughed for a long time and said breathlessly: "It seems that this joke is also based on facts. Look, you have now perfectly confirmed this joke."

"I have really shed blood and sold my life for the Royal Navy... and I have been cute, okay?" Louis rolled his eyes at his mother. "Some of Professor Snape's potions that I gave to grandpa were used on warships. Everyone said it was good... At least those old warships no longer need maintenance, and a lot of money can be saved. It would be unreasonable not to give me some reward, right?" As he said that, Louis looked into the open bag and saw the military uniform.

"I say, doesn't this feel like something that was chosen by someone?" Louis picked up the low-key and luxurious bag. "Besides, it's not a good idea to wear a military uniform to a ball in the wizarding world, right?"

"You ask me about the rules of your family?" Emma was well versed in the rules of transformation and passed the blame to others with a rhetorical question.

Louis spread his hands, indicating that he couldn't argue with his own mother.

To be honest, it is not an outrageous thing that an honorary brigadier general suddenly parachuted into the UK. When my grandfather joined the army, he was often ridiculed as "a royal brat born with an officer's armband". Now it can be said that like grandfather, like grandson.

Sakuya took the bag from Louis, opened the package with ease, and took out the particularly low-key and luxurious military dress - the discerning Louis could tell at a glance that this was obviously a simplified version of the Royal Navy Marshal's formal dress.

There was also a small note written by Grandpa, saying that this was something Grandpa had worn back then and was passed on to Louis, asking Louis not to embarrass him.

"It's my grandfather's style." Louis sighed, fiddled with the gold ornaments on his chest, and said with great resistance, "No, I absolutely don't want to wear this to attend the dance. Why? This is not a wedding..."

"I have no objection." Emma walked to the side and sat down, taking a sip of hot tea: "I suggest you listen to your grandfather, otherwise the old man will definitely be very angry."

Louis waved his hand nonchalantly: "Don't worry, Mom. He can't possibly come to the dance, so how could he know what I'm wearing? If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, who would know?"

"But your grandfather told me to record your dancing." Emma took out a video recorder from somewhere and said, "Look, I asked Professor Dumbledore to modify it for me so that it can be used smoothly in Hogwarts..."

"Is there anyone who would betray his son like you?" Louis complained weakly.

Emma covered her mouth and chuckled: "Don't you see such a mother?"

What you said makes a lot of sense. I am speechless... Louis could only give his mother two thumbs up and silently said in his heart that old ginger is still spicy.

Of course, he would never dare to say such words out loud, otherwise his mother would definitely give him a big stick to stop him from going to the dance, and that would be a waste of time.

He really didn't expect that, as he thought only Ron would encounter such a predicament, Ron's troubles were solved by his two brothers, but no one helped him.

Just when she was feeling embarrassed, the bedroom door opened and Catherine, dressed in a gorgeous dress, walked out of the room. Emma said with a half-smile, "See? You're not as generous as Catherine."

That's true, but from Emma's perspective, she couldn't see that Catherine's right hand was behind her back, nervously clutching her skirt.

Catherine was essentially a conservative girl. Although she chose a one-shoulder dress, it was a fake two-piece green evening gown with a white vertical striped shirt, which blocked the beautiful scenery out of her sight. In front of her collar was a huge green and white bow, which was her favorite color and also the representative color of Slytherin College. The dress was well fitted, fully showing her slender waist that could be held in one hand, and her exquisite curves were fully displayed in front of Louis.

On Catherine's arms were the same long-sleeved white lace gloves as always, which, like the headdress with green bows on both sides, was a decoration that never changed.

Louis was indeed amazed. Catherine was already a stunning beauty, and after being dressed like this, she looked even more beautiful.

No matter how many times I've seen it, I can never get enough of it.

Of course, Catherine also saw Louis's somewhat straight eyes. She was very satisfied in her heart. She lifted her skirt and turned around lightly, smiling and asked, "How is it? Does it look good?"

“Hiss…” Louis sniffed and praised: “It looks good, very good!”

"Hmph." Catherine snorted with satisfaction and walked up to Louis. Seeing that he was still dressed in his Hogwarts school robes, she couldn't help but frowned slightly, "Why haven't you changed your clothes yet?"

"You should ask your good boyfriend. He refused to change into the dress his grandfather prepared for him." Emma said sarcastically, "When you were changing clothes in the room, he kept telling me that he didn't want to change into this dress."

"Oh?" Catherine became curious and asked in confusion, "Is that dress ugly? But come to think of it, Xiaolu and Grandpa are so different in age, there must be a generation gap in aesthetics. Maybe he really can't appreciate it?"

Louis was so touched, and the first thing Catherine thought of was to defend him. Such a good girl is really hard to find even with a lantern.

“Here, Sakuya.” Emma stretched out her slender fingers and drew a circle in the air. “Go, pick up that dress and show it to Catherine. Is there a generation gap between her little deer and her grandfather’s aesthetic taste, or is this little deer just ungrateful?”

Of course Sakuya would not disobey Emma's order. She picked up the dress and showed it to Catherine. Catherine changed her position almost instantly.

“I don’t care what you think, you have to wear this dress to attend the ball with me today!” There was an indescribable determination in Catherine’s eyes, which made Louis a little scared. The last time he saw her so determined was when she was learning lightning spells - no, even Catherine at that time was not as fanatical as she is now.

"My fame will be ruined by my grandfather sooner or later." Louis sighed and waved to Sakuya, "Let's go in and change clothes..."

The tone of voice has a feeling of whistling wind and cold Yishui River.

"Keep an eye on him and don't let him run away." Emma added to Sakuya.

Louis looked back helplessly. Is the trust between people so fragile?

There's no way I'd run away on such an important day, otherwise Catherine would chase me around the world with her magic wand in hand.

Although he resisted psychologically, Louis' actions were actually quite honest. With the help of Sakuya, it took him almost half an hour to finally put on the navy dress uniform.

Of course, the shoulder straps he wore were those of a brigadier general, not Grandpa’s marshal shoulder straps—Grandpa wasn’t dead yet, how could he have taken the position so quickly? Besides, even if he was Daiying in the family empire, he wasn’t old enough…

Unless he can suddenly ascend the throne, you generally don't want to think about it.

He got the position of brigadier general because of the billions of pounds he saved every year and his aunt's doting on him.
