Chapter 84 - Start of the Trial (1/2)
It didn't take too long before Chris was discharged from the hospital. As the time for his judgement is coming soon, he didn't go home but to a nearby building that Bradley told him to go to for lodging.
As it wasn't far from the hospital, Chris opted to walk. After only around 15 minutes of walking, Chris arrived in front of a luxury apartment.
'It's impressive just how luxurious Father's buildings are. I'm sure that this building alone will earn him a bucket of Galleons every month,' Chris thought as he entered the apartment with the key that Bradley gave him.
Inside the building was a spacious lobby with marble flooring and white walls. Comfortable chairs and tables were alongside the walls of the room to allow for rest. In the center of the lobby was the front desk where a man around the age of 50 wearing a suit was sitting down.
”Greetings Mr. Evergreen. I have been expecting you,” The man said with a bow.
”Hello Mr.-”
”You may just call me Sebastian. I am a friend of your father's. He entrusted me this building years ago so that I can peacefully work as a manager. Of course, when You-Know-Who came for the second time, I armed myself to battle once again. I really do apologize for not being able to help your father when he needed me,” Sebastian said.
”No, I am sure that my father as well. He is fine now,” Chris said politely.
”I am glad this is the case. I've heard he has woken up recently and I plan on visiting him a little bit later,” Sebastian said. ”Your father has already sent me the message. There is always an empty room available in case your father needs it for himself or for someone he knows. I will lead you to your room,”
Sebastian led Chris to an elevator. There were numbers from 1-7. While 1-6 had buŧŧons next to it, 7 had a key hole. Sebastian took out a key and put it in the key hole. He turned in making the elevator move.
”This building was one that your father acquired when he was very young even before he married your mother. He said to me that when he acquired the building, he wanted a whole floor to himself. So every single room on the 7th floor is for you to use,” Sebastian said handing him the key. ”That's for you to keep. Do you also want to have meals sent to you?”
”Yes please,” Chris said.
”Excellent, there should be a phone in every single room. Just dial 555 and when someone picks up, you just need to say what meal you want,” The elevator made a ding sound and the door opened. Chris left the elevator.
”Then I hope you enjoy the stay,” Sebastian said as the door closed and the sound of the elevator going down was soon heard.
Chris opened the door closest to the door and entered the room. The living room was massive with white walls, white floor, sofas, and tables that had books on top of it. The dining room had table for 6 people. There were 3 bedrooms that reminded Chris of the luxury hotel rooms he stayed during his vacation with his family with king sized beds and a beautiful view outside.
