Chapter 300: Christmas Eve - Malfoys’ business proposal
Christmas Eve, 24 December 1986
Malfoy Manor
The gloomy darkness of the ancient manor was nowhere to be seen.
Through the windows, one could see brilliant star-like many colored lights.
The very air danced across the manor's corridors with the fragrance of roasted turkeys in its bosom.
Sweets, snacks, and drinks were lying on the long table in the Great Hall, the children coming and running away around it now and then.
The feast of Christmas Eve was nowhere as grand as other parties and balls held at the manor during major occasions.
It had always remained more of a semi-private affair for the Malfoys.
As per traditions, the Malfoys did invite some close friends and their families for the feast.
But, until this year, such invitations had always remained limited to the closest associates of the head of the family, Mr. Lucius Malfoy.
