When Levin left the workshop with two artificial maids, he realized that more than a week had passed since the World Cup ended.
During this time, Jaina, Onyxia, Tonks, Ciri, and Penelope were all extremely busy.
Penelope and Tonks are doing well; they have their own families who can take care of them.
As for Jaina, Onyxia, and Cirella...
All three are visitors from another world. They have no family in this world and have to take care of themselves.
Now they're all busy, and Levin spends his days in the workshop.
It was only thanks to Cho Chang and Hermione taking turns helping that they weren't left to starve to death at home or become slovenly.
Even if they could take turns, the girls felt that if things continued like this, they would eventually become old women.
Fortunately, Levin brought Gwen and Orianna to take over their work.
As expected of a professional maid designed by Levin, she's truly exceptional.
The tedious chores that Cho Chang and Hermione handled became trivial matters in the hands of the two maids.
With every gesture, he managed the entire tower and all the people living there with impeccable order.
Their appearance was met with unanimous praise from everyone.
Especially Hermione,
The girl greatly admired Levin's decision to use a construct instead of a house-elf.
They believe Levin is a true champion of racial equality.
I wonder when the little girl will understand that a robot's life is also a life?

Chapter 288 Harvest
After Levin's meticulously crafted maid was completed, Jaina and the others finally finished the Ministry of Magic's arduous task.
Everything finally settled.
To this end, Levin meticulously planned a grand banquet, inviting his close friends from the Genius Club to celebrate this milestone moment together.
This is not only a celebration of the successful completion of a long-term plan, but also his official introduction of his latest masterpiece to everyone.
Gwen and Orianna together prepared a sumptuous feast for the guests, the deliciousness of which surpassed words and won universal praise.
The two maids Levin created did indeed significantly improve their quality of life.
As the meal and drinks flowed freely, the group began to discuss the Ministry of Magic's achievements.
Tonks announced with a beaming smile, "The Decision on Expanding Auror Authority has been officially promulgated. Scrimgeour's wish has been fulfilled, and I have finally obtained the power that was originally agreed upon, so that we can openly expand our influence among the Aurors. It's a truly happy outcome for everyone."
"Has the verdict been announced?" Hermione was more concerned about the fate of the troublemakers than with power.
Women are such strange creatures; on the one hand, they hate evil fiercely, and on the other hand, they possess a certain compassion. This depends on whether they occupy a powerful or weak position.
“The Aurors examined their wands one by one and used the [Pre-Flashback Charm]. Those wizards who had used the Unforgivable Curse were exposed, quickly tried, and imprisoned in Azkaban.”
"Those whose crimes were unclear were temporarily detained in the Ministry of Magic's small cells. We have been gathering evidence against them ever since. Now the Aurors have solid evidence against most of them, so most of them have been sent to Azkaban—Azkaban is so overcrowded that new and old prisoners have to be housed together!"
Tonks' words fell like a heavy stone thrown into a calm lake, plunging the room into a brief silence.
“Speaking of which, Cirella did something really great before,” Jaina said, putting down her fork with interest.
Penelope nodded repeatedly, her eyes filled with admiration as she looked at Cerella.
Ciri, under everyone's gaze, shyly turned her head away.
Levin's curiosity was piqued by their mysterious attitude, and he looked at Jaina with a puzzled expression.
Jaina smiled slightly and began to recount her story: "Last night, after the Execution Division had dealt with almost all the prisoners, I convened a meeting to review the lessons learned from that night. However, a small dispute arose among the Aurors during the meeting. Someone brought up the performance of the senior Aurors, arguing that they were far inferior to Tonks's..."
The young people under their leadership are quick, united, and efficient.
"They feel ashamed and are convinced there's a conspiracy. They accuse Tonks of not sharing intelligence, but unfortunately, we've already reached an agreement with Scrimgeour, and they can't get his support... Ah, thank you, dear brother Levin, you're so thoughtful!" Jaina took the tea Levin offered before continuing, "They..."
I was not convinced.
Levin sat down next to Jaina, eagerly awaiting her next move.
"Mad-Eye Alastor Moody is the most impulsive guy. He took the initiative to challenge Tonks, wanting to prove their strength, and kept saying that Tonks' methods were crooked and unorthodox."
At this point, Jaina couldn't help but frown.
Levin sneered, "That's just asking for trouble."
Others nodded in agreement.
“Who can argue with that?” Jaina praised. “Speaking of which, Tonks did a good job too, managing to keep her composure and not make a move. She’s already the second-in-command of the Auror Office, while Moody is just a senior Auror. Given her status, even if she defeated Moody, it wouldn’t do her much good.”
She shook her head at this point.
"Actually, at first, I was really worried that Tonks wouldn't be able to withstand the provocation. But now it seems that after being in the command position for so long, she is indeed much more composed than before."
“I can attest to that when I first met Tonks, she was incredibly reckless. She dared to storm a poacher’s camp all by herself and got caught. If it weren’t for me… hmph.” Levin immediately brought up her past mistakes.
"How dare you say that to me!" Tonks retorted, his hair turning red with anger. "Back then, you were the one who stupidly barged in alone and almost got attacked by that poacher leader in his Animagus form."
Seeing that the two were starting to bicker, Jaina coughed lightly.
"Alright, alright, I know you've known each other for a long time, do you still want to hear more?"
Once the two had quieted down, Jaina continued, "If you ask me, Cirira is also a clever and courageous girl, stepping forward and taking the initiative to fight at a time like this."
"After all, I'm Tonks's subordinate," Ciri said shyly.
“Besides, we’ve disliked Moody for a long time,” Penelope added.
"In any case, her performance was indeed quite good. She didn't even draw her sword. With just one move, [Malicious Polymorph], she turned Moody into a toad and successfully made him look foolish."
0???????
Jaina praised him highly and then continued:
After praising her, Jaina continued, "That stubborn Moody insisted that Cirira had used dark magic and that the match didn't count. He even claimed that in a normal duel, Cirira would definitely be no match for him. After the spell was lifted, he started clamoring for a rematch."
Jaina let out a soft, cold laugh, clearly deeply displeased with someone.
"This is truly a sore loser's behavior," Zhang Qiu commented sharply.
“That’s right,” Jaina nodded, “but Ciri was also very tough. She agreed to Moody’s request for a rematch and then displayed her superb enchanted swordsmanship, unleashing a barrage of attacks on Moody. Moody, on the other hand, only managed to successfully cast one [Iron Armor Charm] at the very beginning, and after that, he could only parry and had no chance to retaliate.”
Completely unable to cast a second spell. Finally, its shell was broken open, and it was defeated once more.
Jaina couldn't help but laugh as she recalled Moody's ashen, incredulous face as he was struck by Cirella's swords.
"Despite his repeated failures, Moody remained defiant. So, Ciri gave him another chance. This third time, Penelope didn't even use a direct attack spell; she simply used [Stealth Step] to teleport behind him, swiftly kicking out and breaking his cane and right leg in one fell swoop. Then she kicked him in the head..."
He was unconscious for several hours.
"Seeing Moody's miserable three-game losing streak, the veteran Aurors were humiliated and speechless."
Jaina spoke highly of Ciri. Not only because she defeated a veteran Auror—which was nothing to Ciri—but also because she achieved a crushing three-game winning streak.
This dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the veteran Aurors, while also boosting the confidence of the younger generation.
"Now, Moody has no face to stay in the Auror's office any longer. Covered in wounds, he has submitted his resignation to Scrimgeour, citing his need to go to Hogwarts ahead of schedule to prepare his lesson plans."
Jaina shook her head with a smile, finding Mad-Eye Moody adorably silly for thinking of running away as a solution.
The banquet then came to an end in this joyful atmosphere.
Levin and the others went to bed early.
It wasn't just because of their hard work over the past few days, but also because they were about to receive another reward tomorrow.
The banquet Lucius Malfoy invited them to is tomorrow...
Chapter 289 The Malfoy Family Feast
The following evening, Jaina, Onyxia, and Levin arrived at the gates of Malfoy Manor in Wiltshire as agreed.
Most others declined to participate.
Tonks is because of his mother.
Her mother, Andromeda Tonks, and Draco's mother, Narcissa Malfoy, were sisters; both were from the Black family.
Their other sister is Bellatrix Lestrange, a devoted admirer of the Dark Lord.
Due to ideological differences, Andromeda Tonks had a falling out with her sisters long ago, and one of them married Mr. Tonks, a Muggle-born man.
Nymphadora Tonks was naturally unwilling to associate with her group of pure-blooded distant relatives.
As for the others, most of them had similar thoughts.
I'm too lazy to mingle with these high and mighty purebloods.
In the end, only Jaina and Onyxia, who worked for the Ministry of Magic, and the key figure Levin were involved.
When they arrived at the manor, Lucius himself greeted them at the gate, appearing to have been waiting for some time.
He was dressed in a long black robe, looking very solemn and dignified. As soon as he saw Levin walking at the front, he smiled and came forward to greet him.
"Welcome, Mr. Green, Ms. Proudmore, and Ms. Presto, it's an honor to have you here."
As he spoke, he bowed slightly and gestured for us to come in:
