Chapter 636 Proposal (Part 1)
In the afternoon, the Masonic Secret Hall had already started to get busy.
A dozen waiters hired by the Los Santos Corporation were quickly dressing up to prepare for tonight's banquet.
Mike, wearing a custom-made dark blue suit, sat in the office with an expressionless face.
"Boom!"
A slight explosion sounded from the fireplace in the office, and a light green smoke floated out.
Mike was shocked when he heard the sound, and he stood up suddenly and looked over, and saw Professor Flitwick, wearing a gorgeous robe, walking out of the fireplace.
"Mike! You'd better give me a good enough reason. You know, I have to postpone a lot of official duties to have time to come here!" Professor Flitwick muttered, and pulled his robe while speaking, "Merlin's beard! This robe is so uncomfortable! I really don't know why you let me wear it so formally!"
Mike's mouth corners slightly raised, came to Professor Flitwick and squatted down and looked at Professor Flitwick at eye level and said:
"Tonight, I will propose to Penelope."
Hearing this, Professor Flitwick was stunned for a moment.
He stared at Mike with his eyes wide open, his big eyes full of disbelief, and murmured:
"My Merlin! Are you going to propose to Penelope?"
Mike didn't say anything, he just smiled and nodded.
Professor Flitwick couldn't stand it anymore. He grabbed Mike's shoulders with both hands, jumped and shouted excitedly:
"Oh! Penelope will definitely agree to you! You're getting married! You're going to have a baby! Oh! Merlin! Have you thought about the name of the child? How many are you going to have? Two, a boy and a girl! No, no, no! The more the better! Merlin..."
Professor Flitwick's face suddenly changed halfway through his speech. He looked at the gorgeous robe on his body and said:
"Damn it! You should have told me the news earlier! This robe is not suitable for this occasion! I have a dress made of gold thread in my box. I'll go change into it now!"
Professor Flitwick turned around and was about to go into the fireplace.
Seeing this, Mike hurriedly grabbed him and said:
"I'm just proposing to you today, so why don't you keep that dress for when I get married? Otherwise, if you wear it now, what will you wear then?"
Professor Flitwick was stunned for a moment, rubbing his hands and said embarrassedly:
"But today is a big day! I..."
"It's okay, Professor Flitwick! Your current dress is enough!" Mike grabbed Flitwick's shoulder and said, "And you know, I'm an orphan and I have no parents. To me, you are my most beloved elder. So I really want you to witness these important moments for me, and I also very much want your blessing!"
"Oh! My good boy!"
Professor Flitwick's voice was a little choked, he hugged Mike and put his face against Mike's.
Feeling the wetness on his face, Mike also felt his nose a little sour. He sniffed, calmed down and continued:
"Hey, didn't you ask me the name of the child? In fact, I have thought about it. If Penelope and I have children in the future, the boy will be named Brandon and the girl will be named Amy! How about it?"
As soon as this was said, Mike could clearly feel that Professor Flitwick's body suddenly became a little stiff.
Then Professor Flitwick let go of his hand, looked at Mike with a complicated expression for a while, and then said slowly:
"I think it's better for you to listen to Penelope's opinions on the name of the child. Because... you really don't have any talent for naming."
"Is... is that so? Okay, I will talk to her more." Mike scratched his nose a little embarrassedly, and then said firmly, "But there is one thing I won't give in to about the name of the child! I will add your name to my child's middle name! For example, Amy Filius Townley!"
"Really!?"
The unbelievable excitement returned to Flitwick's face again, but this time, the joy and surprise on Flitwick's face were quickly replaced by panic.
He stepped back a few steps, waving his hands repeatedly and said:
"No, no, no! You'd better not do this! I'm a half-elf! If you use my name as your child's middle name, others will look down on her!"
"No one will look down on her. Because she has a legendary wizard father!"
"I still think..."
"Okay, don't say this anymore, I've made up my mind!" Mike stood up and straightened his clothes and said, "You should help me see how I look like this look, you know I'm the protagonist today!"
Professor Flitwick opened and closed his mouth a few times, but finally stretched out his trembling hand and pulled down Mike's left hand, and said in a stuttering voice:
"Your right shoulder always habitually collapses, which makes you look ruffian."
"Really?"
Mike looked at his shoulders with some suspicion.
"Of course! You must adjust it quickly, otherwise you will look like a ruffian even if you are wearing a suit!"
"Okay, but how should I do it?"
"Let's try this first..."
...
Half an hour later, Mike's shoulder problem was finally solved with the help of Professor Flitwick, and the solution was also very simple, that is, to add an extra shoulder pad.
During this time, perhaps to change the topic and relieve tension, Professor Flitwick also told Mike a lot about Hogwarts.
The most talked about thing was Harry.
Professor Flitwick finally found out that this guy and the Gryffindor boys were drinking late at night, and the result was that Harry's labor time increased by more than a hundred hours.
Other guys who got hungover with Harry also received the same punishment, and Gryffindor's score hourglass was instantly emptied.
But the Gryffindors didn't care too much about this.
Compared with the house points and the so-called labor, they cared more about Harry's return.
This is undoubtedly good news for Gryffindor, which was once in a slump this year. At least they can have better results in the Quidditch Cup.
As for these things, Mike had already known about them.
His ability to control Hogwarts and obtain intelligence is definitely better than any Minister of Magic in history, because in addition to the Aurors he sent out, there are countless students and faculty members who have been favored by Mike and are queuing up to do things for Mike.
The existence of these people makes Hogwarts have no privacy for him.
This is why he is willing to let Harry go back to Hogwarts and return the Death Cloak to him.
For Mike now, as long as Harry does not leave Yingguo, it actually makes no difference where he goes.
With preparation, even if there is a Death Cloak, Mike can send someone to catch him back in the first place!
Thinking of this, Mike couldn't help but straighten his chest. Even he couldn't help but feel a little proud of being able to do this.
At this time, Professor Flitwick was looking at Mike with pride, although he had no offspring in his life. But the young man in front of him was his most outstanding student, and also the continuation of his life and spirit!
Mike noticed Flitwick's look, he patted Professor Flitwick's back and said:
"Let's go, Professor Flitwick!"
Professor Flitwick didn't say anything, he just wiped the water from the corner of his eyes, then nodded, and walked out of the door with Mike.
...
At this time, countless delicacies in the Freemasonry Hall have been placed on two long tables, and there is a champagne tower in the center of the hall, shining under the light of the magic lamp on the ceiling.
Benjamin, Franklin and other boys have also taken their places.
At this moment, they are gathered together and talking to each other, and not far away from them, there are more than ten waiters ready to serve them at any time.
Today's banquet was held in the name of a celebration banquet, so Mike did not invite anyone except the Freemason members and Professor Flitwick, which Franklin and others also knew.
They have held many such banquets. It stands to reason that the form of such banquets should be casual, and even everyone gathering together to eat a meal casually is considered a banquet.
But this time is different.
In Franklin's opinion, Mike's importance to this banquet was a bit exaggerated.
Not only did he use the largest auditorium in the Masonic Secret Territory, but he even asked all the participants to wear their best formal clothes!
This was a bit too much to ask. After all, a martial arts fanatic like Arthur would never have a formal dress.
So Arthur came in a brand new swordsman's suit.
And his explanation was also very interesting. In his original words, he was a swordsman! For a swordsman, a swordsman's suit was already the best formal dress!
This was very powerful. Everyone who heard it gave Arthur a thumbs up. They all believed that even if this reason was put in front of Mike, the other party would definitely not find any fault.
In addition to Arthur, there was another person in the auditorium who didn't wear a formal dress, and that was Victor.
And Victor did far more than Arthur.
Arthur at least knew to change into new clothes, but Victor actually came in a dirty white coat.
This was obviously a bit unreasonable, but no one said much.
Because since he did things like chasing Harry, everyone has no good impression of him.
Among them, Zhou Hong even developed some hatred towards Victor. He had been glaring at him fiercely since Victor appeared in the auditorium.
At the same time, everyone knew that he was now a mechanical life, and he didn't need to eat or drink, and even didn't need to socialize due to his personality.
To be honest, he came here just to give Mike face.
Just when everyone was talking happily, the door of the auditorium was pushed open.
Mike and Professor Flitwick walked into the auditorium side by side.
Seeing this, everyone had different expressions.
Franklin instinctively hid the wine glass in his hand behind him. Victor looked at his dirty robe and suddenly became a little flustered, while Benjamin and Arthur had a flash of understanding in their eyes.
They felt that they finally understood why Mike made this banquet so formal.
Since Professor Flitwick appeared, this banquet called a celebration banquet should actually be called a thank-you banquet for teachers.
It is appropriate to be solemn on such an important occasion.
While everyone was thinking about it, Mike had brought Professor Flitwick to everyone.
Professor Flitwick seemed very happy to see his former students again. He greeted everyone enthusiastically.
"Oh! Franklin! Take the wine glass out from behind! You are no longer a little wizard! Haha! We must have a good drink today!" "
Yes! Yes!"
Franklin's waist bent instinctively. He was over two meters tall and kept nodding and bowing to the short Professor Flitwick, a bit like a gorilla bowing to a mouse, which looked very funny.
"Benjamin! You look much more handsome than when you were in Hogwarts!"
"Thank you!"
Benjamin responded neither servile nor overbearing.
Professor Flitwick nodded with satisfaction, and soon found Victor hiding in a corner and hiding himself in a wooden barrel.
Professor Flitwick walked over with a big laugh, but when he saw Victor's appearance, the smile on his face turned into shock.
"Oh! My Victor! How did you get into this state?"
"Uh... um, this is an accident, Professor Victor, I just..."
Victor clutched his dirty white coat awkwardly. Even though his body had long been replaced by steel, he still felt a little embarrassed.
After all, his current attire was really sloppy, and Professor Flitwick might have some bad guesses because of it.
Thinking of this, Victor lowered his head even lower.
Then at this moment, a small hand touched his face.
Professor Flitwick looked at Victor distressedly and said:
"You've suffered, kid! It must be Mike who made you like this, right? Don't worry, I will..."
Professor Flitwick was still chattering, but Victor couldn't hear what he said next.
At this moment, Victor only felt that the energy in his body was a little disordered, and then he knelt down and hugged Professor Flitwick uncontrollably.
"Professor Flitwick!"
Victor screamed loudly with sobs in his voice, which made Flitwick even more distressed. While comforting Victor, he also cast a vicious look at Mike.
Mike touched his nose, turned his head a little embarrassedly, and looked at the door of the auditorium.
According to his speculation, the girls should have finished their makeup and were about to arrive at this time.
He had just come up with this thought when the door of the auditorium was pushed open.
Then three beauties walked in.
They were Penelope, Soraka and Hilary.
With the entry of the three people, the light in the entire auditorium seemed to be brighter.
At the same time, the conversation that was originally echoing in the auditorium completely disappeared, and everyone was staring at them in a daze.
In the corner, Victor was still crying while holding Professor Flitwick. It was a bit exaggerated to say that he was crying. It should be described as dry howling. After all, Victor did not install a useless thing like tear glands for this body.
He didn't know why he was so out of control today. Logically, he should have become a completely rational advanced life.
But he didn't want to think about these things now. The only thing he wanted to do now was to hold Professor Flitwick and cry.
However, Professor Flitwick didn't think so.
With the arrival of Penelope and the other two, Professor Flitwick's originally relaxed body tensed up instantly.
Then he pushed Victor away and stood up with a nervous face and began to tidy up his robes that were a little messy because of Victor's rubbing.
Victor, who was pushed away by him, sat on the floor blankly, with a blank face.
