"Sorry to bother you."
Levin said something in a mocking tone, then prepared to close the door and leave.
Shireira, however, couldn't hold back any longer.
She released Penelope and took a few steps to Levin's side;
Along, preventing him from leaving.
In fact, Levin had no intention of leaving. He turned around and pulled the girl into his arms, holding her tightly.
"Long time no see, Shirella."
His tone was very gentle, and his smile was warmer than the sunshine.
Ciriara's eyes immediately welled up with tears, and a surge of warmth filled her heart. She tilted her head, bent her knees slightly, and rested her head on Levin's shoulder.
"I'm back, Levin."
This time, Penelope and Hermione took the initiative to leave, giving the two of them space to pour out their hearts to each other.
Levin tightened his grip on Cirira's hand, inquired about her experiences in Albania, and then examined her body.
Ciri returned the Soulstone that Levin had given her to Levin, and several more corrupted souls were now inside it.
Just as they were getting into their conversation, Rowena's voice rang out, reminding Levin:
“Young Master Levin, the dinner is ready. You may proceed to the living room.”
"In that case, let's go."
Levin opened the door, called Hermione and Penelope outside, and the group went upstairs together.
As soon as he went up the stairs, he saw Jaina directing plates of exquisite dishes to a huge round table in the hall.
She was wearing an exquisite blue-purple robe, and with a beaming smile, she reached out and hugged Hermione: "Congratulations, Hermione, you're number one again."
Hermione's ears turned red with excitement; she was overjoyed to have gained Jaina's approval.
If Levin was the person she admired most, then Jaina was Hermione's idol.
As her dream became clearer, Jaina became the person she most wanted to be:
As one of the few female politicians in the Ministry of Magic, Jaina was able to rise through the ranks of the Ministry of Magic by virtue of her own abilities, even without the support of an ancient family.
She is not only skilled in political affairs and a well-known capable official in the Ministry of Magic, but also possesses top-notch personal strength, making her a role model for strong women in the Ministry of Magic.
In fact, not only Hermione thought so, but Jaina was the best role model in the eyes of many girls who aspired to join the Ministry of Magic.
Meanwhile, Levin noticed that Cho Chang and Luna were already seated in the wide chairs behind the dining table.
They were dressed neatly and waiting for the banquet to begin.
Luna held a silver fork between her two slender fingers, handling it with elegance and skill.
In front of her was a plate of exquisite little cakes, colorful and mouthwatering, the only flaw being that a small portion of the cakes had already been eaten.
Clearly, this is Luna's masterpiece.
Zhang Qiu sat to the side, watching Luna sneak a bite, a helpless yet indulgent smile on his face.
When Levin appeared, she immediately looked up at him, her bright eyes seeming to say, "Look, this is our Luna."
Levin watched Luna's hamster-like chewing mouth and couldn't help but cough twice, trying to remind her that she was about to be discovered.
Luna immediately looked up, her wary eyes fixed on Jaina, then quietly stuffed the leftover cake into the other dishes, pretending it wasn't her doing.
As Gwen brought the last dish to the table, everyone sat down at the table.
Levin rose and raised his glass, proposing a celebration for Cirira's safe return from Albania and Hermione's outstanding performance in the first two rounds of the Triwizard Tournament.
The atmosphere quickly warmed up.

Chapter 385 The Genius Club's Victory Banquet
The dinner was delicious, and everyone praised it highly.
Gwen and Orianna ran up and down the table, taking care of everyone at the table.

She talked about how Hermione overcame all obstacles, intimidated the entire village of fishmen, and was the first to finish the competition, praising her highly: "Honestly, little Hermione could easily become an Auror after graduating. She's not only good at combat, but also at management. She could become a squad leader in a few years, and she'll definitely rise faster than me."
Hermione blushed deeply at the straightforward praise, but she was also somewhat tempted.
The political power belonging to Jaina's faction is mainly concentrated in the Department of Law Enforcement, and becoming an Auror might be a good option for the future.
To everyone's surprise, Onyxia immediately retorted to Tonks: "Forget it, with little Hermione's abilities, being an Auror would be a complete waste of her talent. I think she could come to our Department of Biological Control. I've heard she has some ideas about intelligent non-human races... Hermione, why don't you consider coming here?"
Onyxia's words make sense. Laws concerning the rights of non-human creatures and pure-bloods are actually related to the Department of Magical Creature Management and Control.
The two then engaged in a heated discussion about Hermione's future, arguing fiercely about it.
Ultimately, both of them looked at Jaina, who, for the time being, was the head of Levin's political forces.
After a moment's thought, Jaina gave her answer: "My opinion is that if Hermione wants to rise to a higher position quickly, gain power faster, and realize her ambitions, then she should come to the Department of Law Enforcement. After all, the Department of Law Enforcement is our headquarters."
Tonks nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.
But Jaina hadn't finished speaking.
"But if she's not in such a hurry, then from the perspective of increasing our overall influence, it would be more beneficial for her to go to the Biotechnology Management and Control Division. After all, we already have a large enough staff in the Enforcement Division, and her joining would only be icing on the cake. On the contrary, the Biotechnology Management and Control Division would be a much better option."
After saying that, Jaina gently added:
"Of course, these are just my personal opinions. The final choice depends on Hermione's own thoughts."
“That’s right!” Onyxia nodded, looking excitedly at Hermione.
"Since you're already in fourth grade, and you'll be taking the OWL exam next year and planning for your future career, why don't you start thinking about it now?"
Seeing herself being fought over by Tonks and Onyxia, Hermione felt a mix of worry and secret delight.
She was secretly pleased because being contested meant that both sides highly recognized her abilities.
Her concern was that she didn't want to disappoint any of them.
After getting to know Jaina, Tonks, Onyxia, and other members of the Genius Club through Levin, Hermione grew to like the group more and more and felt a stronger sense of belonging.
Although the Genius Club is often jokingly referred to as "Levin's Harem Club," and all members and prospective members are suspected of becoming her rivals,
But Hermione had to admit that Levin did have good "taste" when it came to choosing a partner.
The girls he chooses are all good girls with excellent personalities and abilities. They are good partners who can help each other. They are all talented and have pleasant voices. She loves being there.
Therefore, she cherishes her friendships with everyone.
To avoid disappointing either side, Hermione thought for a while and finally blurted out, "I'll listen to Levin."
This remark caused a burst of laughter at the dinner table.
She immediately realized the implication in her words, and her face flushed red.
Levin, caught in the crossfire, sighed helplessly and said, "Why make a choice so early? She still has a whole year until graduation. Won't we make progress in that year?"
With that, he waved his hand and said with great confidence, "Perhaps Jaina will become Minister for Magic before she even graduates. When she wants to choose a position, she can just go to her directly. There's no need to argue about it now."
“You make me sound like a dictator,” Jaina rolled her eyes at Levin.
“I don’t know if you’re a dictator, but after spending time with you, Bagman certainly seems like a jester.”
His words resonated with several of the young witches.
Indeed, anyone with a discerning eye could hear how incredibly obsequious Bagman's commentary was towards Levin and Jaina.
But putting that aside, Levin's words were indeed quite insightful.
In recent years, Jaina's power has truly expanded like an inflating balloon, and it is indeed possible that she will achieve this goal in another year.
Otherwise, why would Bagman be so eager to please?
It's just that I think following her will lead to a bright future.
Thus, the discussion about Hermione's employment came to an end.
Onyxia eagerly urged Tonks to continue talking about the upcoming match.
Then Tonks started talking again.
After she finished describing Fleur's performance, Jaina suddenly said:
"Hearing you say that, Fleur is truly a beautiful and capable girl. Levin's taste in girlfriends is as good as ever."
Levin, who had been eating heartily, was startled by her words and choked violently on his food, coughing violently before giving her a resentful look.
"As expected, you're retaliating for calling me a dictator, aren't you?"
He felt that this was something Jaina did on purpose.
Although he has indeed been getting along very well with Furong recently, this is something that everyone should keep to themselves and not talk about openly.
Is this an attempt to complicate his already messy love life, making it even more complicated?
After all, nobody wants to admit that they are sharing a boyfriend with someone else.
Levin's affair with multiple women is something he basically does but doesn't talk about. When asked, he just says they're good friends and everyone pretends to be clueless.
But now, provoked by Jaina, Levin could feel several sharp gazes.
Next, Tonks finished recounting the rest of the match.
After listening, Jaina couldn't help but exclaim, "The Fairy of the Lake versus the giant squid... If I weren't so busy with work at the Ministry of Magic, I should have gone to watch the match myself today."
“Indeed,” Onyxia agreed. “Hearing you say it again, I find your human organizations’ entertainment activities quite interesting. I really want to see it for myself.”
“Actually, it’s not impossible,” Levin suddenly spoke up. “The live streaming system happens to have the game recordings stored in it, so you can watch them yourselves if you want.”
"Really?" Onyxia's interest was piqued. "Great! I want to see it for myself after dinner."
“Count me in too,” Jaina chimed in.
