Tonight's banquet for representatives of various forces is a formal scene of this event. Busbarton always paid so much attention to rules and procedures, and even the reception banquet was arranged in strict accordance with the past etiquette.
Seeing the splendor inside and outside the busbarton auditorium, Maka secretly sighed that the previous dinner was really just "dinner".
Busbarton's financial resources have attracted worldwide attention, and most of them come from the donation of Nicole LeMay, an alumni. No wonder many forces are flocking to that legacy.
Just before entering the door, Maka found that a large entrance tent had been set up at the main entrance of the auditorium, with a blue bottom inlaid with gold border, and a large number of golden stars dotted on the velvet curtain. If you look carefully, you can find that those stars are made of real gold and look incomparably brilliant under the bright magic lights.
When he entered, he saw a banquet hall more magnificent than the usual auditorium.
A large dark blue hanging curtain, like the busbarton school emblem, hung from the high ceiling, with some beautiful folds on the stone columns and walls; Golden silk ribbons can be seen everywhere, turning left and right to decorate the color matching windows, making them look more magnificent and colorful; Of course, there are the soft carpets under the feet. The golden and red colors tell of gorgeous and noble spirit, and also bring more warm atmosphere to the hall.
Like Hogwarts, long tables were used in busbarton's auditorium, and now the tablecloth had been replaced with a color more commensurate with today. The little stars caused by magic twinkled on the tablecloth, echoing the huge school emblem in the deepest part of the hall.
Yes, busbarton's school emblem consists of two golden wands crossed vertically. The tip of each wand spits out three shining Venus.
At present, the dinner has just arrived at the admission time, and many guests are coming in one after another. It can be seen that the Wizards stood together in twos and threes, chatting casually.
"Haven't you talked enough these two days?"
Maka shook her head, walked through the crowd and took Fanny to the innermost side. Just under the huge school emblem, Mrs. Maxim was half courteous with some wizards with more important status. Some guests who arrived today also went to say hello at this time.
Yes, the hornheim brothers and sisters are over there now!
"How much will it cost to hold such a dinner?" Maka sighed as she walked, casually enjoying the rich and powerful decorations around.
Now, in the black market of the British magic world, there are several magic drug consignment points. He is also a little rich guy. But if compared with this scene, he obviously doesn't see enough!
"Busbarton's financial resources are very famous in the world of magic," Fanny affirmed. "This alone is not inferior to our brova castle."
It is undoubtedly quite amazing that a school can compete for property with the ancient wizard family with rich details. Of course, if we seriously compare the two, busbarton will certainly lose.
Maka and Fanny chatted casually and walked to the open space in front of Mrs. Maxim.
"Oh, Mr. McLean -" Mrs. Maxim immediately found Maka. "After the dinner party, the dance will begin soon! You are the youngest of the distinguished guests invited by busbarton... I believe many female students are trying to sneak in and dance with you! How, have you found a partner tonight?"
"Madam is joking. I'm not the youngest," Marca glanced at the little sister of the hornheim family who was still standing nearby, but the other party didn't look away, as if pretending not to see him. "As for the dance partner, madam may forget that I brought a friend this time."
He said, gesturing to Fanny on his side. Fanny was stunned when she heard that busbarton had plans for a dance, but she didn't expect Marca to find herself as a partner.
Seriously, it has nothing to do with some beautiful scenery. On weekdays, for young people, dancing is always an activity for men and women to enhance their relationship with each other. But on such occasions, the invitation to the ball is usually a purposeful communication or exploratory behavior.
Most of those present are important members of the subordinates of the power, both witches and wizards. As can be seen from Mrs. Maxim's words just now, in principle, the students in busbarton today are not allowed to attend the ball, and the meaning is self-evident.
Therefore, for the purpose of Maka's visit, she should invite a woman from other forces to slide into the dance floor. At that time, whether it is friendship or cliche, it is a good choice.
Of course, maybe Mr. McLean just politely invited himself to the first dance?
Fanny didn't speak, but many thoughts flashed in her heart in a moment. She even wondered if she would have time to bring Willie back if she had to hurry back to brova castle?
However, this is actually because of the position, which makes Fanny think too complicated.
Maka's starting point is actually very simple - Fanny is the woman he brought here this time. If she doesn't invite her partner to dance at the ball, it's obviously a very impolite behavior. Like the formal dinner and dance in busbarton today, Maka will naturally cooperate to abide by the etiquette rules. After all, this is Mrs. Maxim's territory.
Anyway, Mrs. maxim is a friend of him and Hagrid. Not to mention fighting for face for friends, at least we can't lose face first, can't we?
"McLean, are you okay?"
Maka was talking and laughing politely with Mrs. Maxim when she suddenly heard the voice of the fat young master of the hornheim family. He turned his head and found that the fat man had been pushed behind him.
"What's the matter? What's the matter?" asked Marca suspiciously.
"Sarah... Er, I mean, my sister didn't do anything to you?" the fat man looked at him up and down and worried about the tunnel. "You're the man told to see several times, but you can't... I tell you, my sister is not bad, just... She likes to fry things and people..."
He said it as if no one would believe it, and finally shook his head.
"Well... Well... Anyway, you look fine?" the fat man hesitated. "She didn't blow you up with those things?"
"You mean this?" Maka looked at the fat man. The light from the corner of her eyes glimpsed his sister Sarah. She looked this way, but in a moment she looked away. "Don't worry! Your sister is very good..."
When the fat man heard this, he subconsciously looked back at Sarah, and then he found that Sarah also looked at him. Looking at the quiet smile on his sister's face, the fat on the fat man's face couldn't help shaking.
"Yes, yes... Very good, very good!" he answered dryly, and then went on, "Well, I'll go first... Well, when the dance starts, will you invite my sister? You see, you also say she's very good, um... If she grows up again, she'll be more beautiful! If you think you can, cultivate your feelings from now on, and I'll have no problem giving her to you!"
The fat man's words became worse and worse, and his voice became lower and lower. Finally, he almost forced himself to close to Maka's ear. It seems that he would like someone to take away his important sister in advance!
Then he patted Marca on the shoulder, his face full of excitement.
Maka smiled at him and patted the fat man on the shoulder.
"OK!" he said with a smile, "I'll talk to your sister and ask her what she thinks of what your brother said..."
"Hey! Don't... cough, hum," the fat man grinned and pressed back the fear from the bottom of his heart, pretending to be calm. "I mean, forget it... Sarah is too young to find a boyfriend. Besides, um... I can't bear to be a brother... Oh, it's really..."
It can be seen that the fat man and Ron are the brother of the same sister, but their ideas are diametrically opposite. Ron showed great rejection for Ginny's relationship. He is not the one he absolutely agrees with, and he will not let go of his sister. But the fat man is different. He is very much looking forward to the day when his sister gets married, so that he can come early Then you can get out of the sea of suffering in advance.
The fat man was immediately defeated by Makana's seemingly empty run. When he had a few more random conversations with Maka, he quickly said impolite, and then rolled back to Sarah.
"Sir, I think that young master hornheim seems to be afraid of his sister?" Fanny whispered to Marca when the fat man left.
"Maybe it's not fear!" Maka shook her head slightly. "Well, maybe it's a little, but the key should not be fear. What I'm more curious about is the idea of my sister..."
While he was talking, the hornheim brothers and sisters had said hello to Mrs. maxim, and then turned to find their seats. Maka looked at the big and small back, but she felt more and more interesting.
"Meet their father at hornheim's another day at the right time! The children are so interesting, and their father must have a story!" he thought.
