I added points to my talents at Hogwarts

Chapter 90 Dinner

Party After the complicated ceremony, it was time for the banquet.

Before the main course is served, the waiters will provide each guest with an aperitif, including a variety of brand-name champagne, red wine, white wine, and non-alcoholic champagne, which is very refreshing and appetizing.

Unlike the traditional buffet dinner in the West, the dinner at the Merlin Order of Merlin award ceremony only consisted of three courses. Although the quantity is small, they all use the best ingredients in the world.

Traditionally, the first course of a dinner party is usually a side dish.

On the table in front of the guests, a small plate of beautifully presented caviar suddenly appeared.

The caviar selected for the dinner was Iran’s top-quality Almas caviar. This caviar is produced from the endangered albino sturgeon of the Caspian Sea that is over 100 years old. Every pellet is very fresh and full of fresh and sweet flavor.

To complement this top-quality ingredient, the dish is also garnished with cucumbers, kohlrabi, and radishes.

Ives picked up a piece of cucumber, scooped up a small lump of caviar and put it in his mouth.

The sweetness of the vegetables stimulated the umami flavor of the caviar very well, and Ives squinted his eyes to taste the delicacy carefully.

After the side dishes are finished, the second dish, which is also the main dish, is served.

The main course is a modified beef Wellington. The meat filling is not beef, but roast duck.

The outside of the roast duck is wrapped in a crispy coating, and the inside is full of meat. When roasting the duck, rare Swedish black chanterelles are also added.

The combination of puff pastry and meat filling is wonderful, creating a wonderful difference between crispy and soft when chewed in the mouth. Coupled with the smoky smell of the roast duck itself, this dish tastes particularly delicious.

In addition to the roasted duck, the dish also comes with a side of roasted potatoes.

After Ives tasted it, he was surprised to find that the inside of the potatoes was actually mayonnaise. The roasted potatoes are paired with the sweet mayonnaise, and you will feel an explosion of satisfaction when you take one bite.

The last course was a dessert.

Dessert after the meal was raspberry ice cream. According to the low-pitched explanation by the waiter, everyone knew that this humble ice cream was actually made from 350 kilograms of wild raspberries that matured at different times.

After three main courses, most of the tables and chairs were removed. Only some long tables on both sides would provide drinks and fruits. Then it was dance time.

Music gradually sounded in the auditorium, and the atmosphere became more enthusiastic.

People swayed to the rhythm of the music. They wore gorgeous evening gowns and sparkling jewelry, making the entire auditorium more dazzling.

A large group of witches gathered around Sirius almost instantly. Everyone had a good impression of this war hero, not to mention that he was the only heir to the Black family. With the blessing of these two auras, many single witches were making secret glances at him.

I hope everyone is fine, Ives said sincerely.

When he was thinking randomly, a big hand hugged his shoulder

“Mr. Evans, congratulations on being awarded the Order of Merlin, Second Class.”

Avis raised his head, and what came into view was a pair of gleaming white teeth and that iconic smile. He quickly realized who the person was—Gilderoy Lockhart.

Lockhart used He said in a kind tone:”Mr. Evans, I think you should know that I will go to Hogwarts next semester to serve as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.”

“Yes, you just said that in your

acceptance speech, Professor Lockhart.” He stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man, and Avis’ tone was also very kind.

Hearing the young man in front of him call himself professor, Lockhart’s smile became even brighter,”Hahaha, like I said, I’m happy to call him professor. I brought my talent for Defense Against the Dark Arts to Hogwarts”

“Of course, if you have any problems in school, you can come to me.” Lockhart puffed out his chest and showed off his third-level medal.”Anything, I think I am a third-level Merlin medalist. I can still give you some answers.”

I am still the recipient of the Second Class Order of Merlin,” Ives complained in his heart, but he still agreed on the surface,”Thank you, Professor.””

Lockhart’s smile became even bigger.

Next, Ives had to be pulled by Lockhart to listen to him bragging about those”thrilling” travels.

When Ives felt impatient, Dumbledore finally appeared in front of him. Within sight. Ives hurriedly interrupted Lockhart and said apologetically:”Sorry, Professor, Principal Dumbledore has something to do with me.”

After that, he ignored Lockhart’s gesture of retention and trotted to Dumbledore’s side.

“What do you think of our future Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?”Dumbledore asked with a smile.

“Not very good,” Ives said angrily,”like a idiot who can only brag about himself.”

Hearing his evaluation of Lockhart, Dumbledore did not refute, but changed the subject and said:”Let’s go, I will take you to meet some people.”

Then, Dumbledore led Ives around and introduced him to wizards. The two seemed extremely close.

Fudge was chatting with a group of people in the distance holding wine glasses, but he always paid attention to Dumbledore’s movements.

After seeing the close relationship between Ivis and Dumbledore, Fudge began to think about whether to propose that Ivis be elected as the British Youth Representative of the Wizengamot. The

British Youth Representative of the Wizengamot is the Wizengamot’s representative at certain events. A title awarded to some minor British wizards during the period.

Dumbledore once received this title when he was studying at Hogwarts.

According to requirements, this title will only be awarded to outstanding young wizards in school, but Ivy Si received the Second Class Order of Merlin at the age of twelve, which was undoubtedly in compliance with the regulations.

Dumbledore led Ives to Professor Flitwick’s circle, and after his introduction, he learned that the people here were originally They were all champions of the duel competition.

Professor Flitwick was standing on a chair, clinking glasses with a bald wizard in his arms,”Cone, do you still remember that match in 1937?”

“certainly!”The bald wizard drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, his face flushed,”I still remember that competition. If there wasn’t something wrong with my wand, how could you have won the championship?”

“You fart! Hearing this, Professor Flitwick became very angry. He jumped down from his chair and kicked Cone’s ankle angrily,”You are just not as strong as me, stop making excuses!””

The two began to exchange words with each other.

Seeing Ives’s curious eyes, Dumbledore said with a smile:”You should know that Filius was the champion of the duel competition when he was young, right?”

“Uh-huh”

“Nubakt Cone was the runner-up in that competition.” Dumbledore gestured to the bald wizard.”He lost to Filius in the finals for seven consecutive times. Until the eighth time, Filius He won the championship when Us did not participate.”

Aves was a little surprised. This was the first time he knew that Professor Flitwick had such an old enemy.
