The Big Boss Behind Hogwarts

Lucius quickly invited Moriarty into the house, and the afternoon tea party was held on the second floor of the villa. Moriarty and Lucius walked up the stairs side by side, and a set of furniture specially used for drinking tea came into view.

The dining table was made of gold, the four curved legs were inlaid with pearls, and the beech wood chatting chair was covered with fox fur. After sitting down, Moriarty felt warm and comfortable.

"Dear Mr. Moriarty Slytherin," Narcissa Malfoy walked over with a tablecloth in her hand, and said with a smile on her face, "Welcome to Malfoy Manor as a guest."

Moriarty stood up in a friendly greeting, Lucius and Draco also stood up - they had just sat down, but had to stand up too.

For Narcissa began to spread the tablecloth on the golden table.

It is a grand etiquette for the hostess to spread the tablecloths herself to show respect to the guests.

Moriarty stood aside and waited quietly with his hands leaning on his cane. Lucius held his head high, as if he was proud of having a hardworking and capable wife.

Of course he has the capital to be proud of. Today's Narcissa wears light makeup, and her amazing white complexion is radiant.

She wore a white off-the-shoulder dress, which set off her graceful figure even more amazingly, exuding a warm and elegant temperament.

When she bent down and stretched out her snow-white arms to spread the tablecloth, the whiteness and plumpness of her chest, back, waist and buttocks were displayed before Moriarty's eyes.

Moriarty turned his gaze politely, and he saw Narcissa wearing a small khaki round top hat, with a lace silver flower on the right side, and long golden curly hair draped over her shoulders.

The long hair swayed like waves. It turned out that Narcissa had spread the tablecloth and turned to everyone and said, "Please sit down."

Moriarty returned to his seat, admiring the hand-embroidered white lace doily with beadwork.

Lucius nodded appreciatively, and Narcissa smiled and took out a pot of fresh daffodils, placed them in the center of the dining table, and put a group photo of the Malfoy family next to the flowers.

All of this was arranged by Narcissa without using magic, so it can be said to be very grand.

Moriarty praised: "Ms. Narcissa's name 'Narcissa' represents Narcissus in Greek mythology. Your skin is white and glowing, and your soul is as pure as Narcissus."

"Thank you." Narcissa nodded with a smile. She folded the tablecloth in front of Moriarty, and then floated away.

Moriarty, who is familiar with European culture, of course would not think that this was a secret signal for Narcissa to ask him to meet at three o'clock in the middle of the night. In fact, this is also a kind of etiquette for afternoon tea.

Although Moriarty didn't really like the well-worn etiquette - and the Malfoys probably didn't either.

But everyone present strictly abided by it, showing a happy appearance, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Narcissa came with a silver tray, and in the tray were high-end tea sets-fine porcelain cups and saucers or silver tea sets, teapots, strainers, tea strainers, tea measuring spoons, tea trays, and teaspoons. All silvery and crystal clear.

"Mr. Moriarty, do you know the reason why the silver tea set is used for afternoon tea?" Lucius looked at his tea set pleasingly.

"It is said that in Britain, where there is little sunshine, silver tea sets often reveal people's desire for sunshine." Moriarty replied casually, and Lucius and Moriarty started chatting about each other.

Everyone was waiting for Narcissa to serve tea.

It is also a kind of afternoon tea etiquette for the hostess to wear formal attire to serve the guests in person, so she must ask the servants to help, so today the house elves in Malfoy Manor are on holiday.

"Mr. Moriarty, I have prepared three kinds of black tea, Keemun black tea, Earl Gray tea, and Ceylon black tea. Which one do you drink?"

Narcissa came over again with a tray, in which were three pots of black tea, three gold cups, and a pot of milk. Plus a few small dishes for the condiments.

"Keemun black tea." A flash of reminiscence flashed in Moriarty's eyes.

Narcissa asked again, "Milk? Coffee? Sugar cubes? Orange slices? Lemon?"

"I do not need it, thank you."

"None?" Narcissa noticed the memory in Moriarty's eyes, and guessed, "Mr. Moriarty drank Keemun black tea in Huaxia?"

Moriarty shook his head: "During the ten years in China, I hid in Eastern Tibet and was accompanied by the cold every day. It is not an exaggeration to say that I drink the wind and eat the snow. There is no chance to taste Keemun black tea."

The Malfoy family didn't like what was said in this passage. They had read Lockhart's novel and believed it to be true.

"However——I've heard the name of Keemun black tea." Moriarty's voice became high-pitched. Afternoon tea should be cheerful. If he messes up the atmosphere, how can he talk to Lucius.

"Keemun black tea is produced in the Qimen County area of ​​the Huangshan Mountains in the southwest of AH Province in China.

The shape is tight, fine and even, the peak seedlings are beautiful, and the color is black, commonly known as "Baoguang".

The inner quality is light and fragrant, with the aroma of honey, and the top-grade tea contains the aroma of orchids, known as "Qimen fragrance". "

Moriarty talked eloquently in front of the Malfoy family, Lucius was obviously shocked, and praised Moriarty with a dry smile.

Narcissa shook her head and smiled: "Mr. Moriarty talked too well about Keemun black tea. I really doubt whether I can brew Keemun black tea that is rich and long-lasting, sweet and mellow."

"It's my quick talk. I should wait for Ms. Narcissa to make tea before commenting on your craftsmanship with those words."

Moriarty reached out his hand to signal Narcissa to make tea.

Narcissa smiled at Moriarty, and began to operate. Her bright white hands quickly flashed across the tray to select the tea set she needed.

Inject water, heat, boil, warm, break tea leaves, put tea, stir...

The white and tender hands were extremely dazzling in the steam, and the faint fragrance of tea penetrated into Moriarty's nostrils.

Watching Narcissa make tea was a treat, and Moriarty seemed to see a shadow of himself making potions.

Women from pure blood families are really different. They can do some trivial things that are usually pleasing to the eye.

After the black tea was brewed, Nanacisha served it to Moriarty, then Lucius, Draco, and finally her own portion.

"Please, Mr. Moriarty." Lucius, as the host, invited.

Moriarty took a sip, letting the mellow aroma of black tea (slightly bitter) bloom on his taste buds, he said lightly: "Before you asked me, did you invent a broom that guarantees safety?

I can tell you now that the flying broom I invented not only guarantees safety, but also guarantees speed, extreme speed, faster than any other broom. "

"Uh, cough, cough!" Draco choked, and spewed out the black tea in his mouth. Narcissa hurriedly brought a tablecloth to wipe Draco's mouth.

"You're too careless, child." Narcissa patted Draco on the back with loving eyes.

"You dote on him too much." Lucius glared at Draco, then looked at Moriarty in disbelief.

Although he knew that Moriarty didn't need to lie, Lucius couldn't help but wonder, after all, isn't the most important thing wizards care about when buying broomsticks is speed and safety?

The flying broom invented by Moriarty solves two difficulties at once!

is this real?

Although Lucius didn't ask, Moriarty saw it, and he moved out of Nicolas once again to make sure Lucius believed in the existence of the new broom.

"Fudge will take office next year, so Nicole May and I have postponed the research and development of the wand suit, and instead invested in the research and development of the broomstick.

You know, the 1990 Quidditch World Cup is going to be in Canada, and we're going to put a new broom on the market before the World Cup starts. "

Lucius gradually believed what Moriarty said, and Draco was convinced. He stood up excitedly and knocked over his teacup: "Father, can I get a new broom? On the premise of ensuring safety Next, you'll buy me a broomstick, you said!"

"Oh no!" Narcissa quickly picked up the teacup, but the tea had already wet the tablecloth, which meant she had to get a new one.

"You don't need to do it, I just wave my wand." Moriarty said empathetically. Afternoon tea etiquette requires the hostess to serve it herself, but it doesn't require guests not to use magic.

But Narcissa insisted on changing a new tablecloth for Moriarty herself.

Moriarty shook his head. He didn't mean to be sympathetic, but he didn't want trivial matters to delay his conversation with Lucius.

Lucius was now livid with anger, "Draco Malfoy!"
