Chapter 162 Daphne in Bloom
Xie Lin had just stepped into the auditorium, and immediately became the focus of many people's attention.
These days, Schelling has become more and more elusive, and he seldom even comes to the Great Hall for meals. Even he himself doesn't remember the number of good person cards he has issued. This matter has almost spread throughout Hogwarts.
Schelling ignored everyone's gazes, he straightened his body, walked steadily, and passed the Gryffindor long table——
And then the Hufflepuff table—
And then past the Ravenclaw table—
He walked to the edge of his usual seat and did not sit down.
Feeling the strange atmosphere, Daphne and Astoria lowered their heads at the same time, but from the perspective of outsiders, they could see that their cheeks were already redder than ripe apples.
After a moment's silence, Schelling bent down and held out his right hand, palm up.
"Miss Daphne Greengrass, will you be my dance partner?"
Daphne raised her head suddenly, her blue eyes slightly widened, and her lips were tightly pressed together.She froze for a moment, then looked at Xie Lin's face and fell into a daze. It was not until Astoria pushed her lightly that she came back to her senses and understood what happened at this moment.
She couldn't control her emotions for a while, and tears of happiness flashed in her eyes. Without saying anything, she grabbed Xie Lin's outstretched hand, then stood up, threw herself into Xie Lin's arms in front of the public, and hugged him tightly.
After a while, the two parted from the embrace, and Schelling and Daphne looked at Astoria and Murray at the Ravenclaw table at the same time.
Daphne lowered her head slightly, her eyes full of apology.Schelling patted her arm, then said to Astoria, "Tolly, I won't..."
Astoria hastily stretched out her little hand to cover his mouth. She shook her head lightly and said with a smile, "You don't need to say anything, I understand everything." After speaking, she blinked at Schelling.
Xie Lin raised her head and looked in Murray's direction. She was clapping her hands gently, and signaled to Xie Lin with understanding and encouraging eyes. The two understood each other's intentions through one look.Xie Lin was moved again, and he couldn't help but feel grateful that he rejected the invitations of Hermione, Katharine, and other girls, and did not cause them any real harm.
Why choose Daphne?In addition to the longest relationship between the two and the most things they have experienced together, Daphne's character is also the most suitable candidate - Tory's heart is too kind, and it can even be said to be soft-hearted; while Murray neither likes nor is good at intrigue and calculation, and these qualities are necessary conditions for taking the position of hostess, so Schelling actually has no better candidate.
In the last week of the semester, the school is getting busier and noisier day by day.
There were rumors about the Yule Ball, that Dumbledore had bought [-] barrels of mead from Rosmerta of the Three Broomsticks, that Dumbledore had ordered the Weird Sisters to play.
In class, Professor Flitwick saw that the students were obviously absent-minded, so he simply stopped lecturing.He allows the students to move freely, even to play games.He himself spent most of the time talking to Schelling about that wonderful protective spell that Schelling used in his first event in the Triwizard Tournament.Professor Flitwick had already written a letter of recommendation to Schelling, making Schelling eligible to participate in the European Dueling Competition, which was originally limited to adult wizards. It seemed that in his eyes, Schelling was no weaker than adult wizards.
Nothing could divert Professor Binns' attention, and he continued to slog through his pile of notes on Goblin Rebellion and Giant Rebellion.The most amazing thing is that he can make a bloody, thrilling rebellion so dry.
The alchemy class has almost become the favorite class of the little wizards. Professor Bock began to teach the alchemy related to the dance, such as dancing boots that can make the steps lighter, such as perfume that can make the dance partner’s heart beat faster, such as a belt that does not cause back pain. This is the first time that Xie Lin has seen little witches, including Daphne, show such madness and love for a piece of knowledge...
Of course, there are still some professors who teach seriously—Professor McGonagall and Professor Moody still teach meticulously.
Not to mention Snape, who would rather adopt Harry as his godson than let his classmates play games in class.He surveyed the class sullenly and told them that he would be testing their antidote in the last class of the term.In this regard, Xie Lin secretly smiled.Originally, on the day when the wand was tested, Snape had said that he was going to poison him, but it has been delayed until now, so it is self-evident that he chose to poison the target.
With the eager anticipation of the students, the Christmas holiday finally came.
Although the teachers assigned a lot of homework to the fourth graders, the cheerful atmosphere still couldn't be dispelled.
This holiday season, a large group of students stay at school for the holidays, and this Christmas will be very lively.They gathered together in groups of twos and threes to play, talk and laugh, and had no intention of doing homework at all.
Snow fell heavily on the castle and grounds.Beauxbaton's light blue carriage looked like a big frosted pumpkin in winter, and the little gingerbread house next to it was Hagrid's hut; It was covered with ice and became smooth and translucent, and the rigging was also covered with a layer of hoarfrost.The house-elves in the kitchen below were busily busy preparing piping hot stews and luscious puddings in a variety of flavours.
On Christmas morning, Schelling found that his Christmas presents had doubled compared to last year.He couldn't help thinking gloomily that in a few years his bedroom might not be able to hold all the Christmas presents.
Narcissa's gift is a pair of double-sided mirrors, which can be used in the same way as Muggle video calls, but they are not as convenient as video calls, because the communication between the two parties can only be limited to this pair of double-sided mirrors. If Schelling wants to make a video call with another person, he needs to buy another pair of double-sided mirrors.Schelling remembers that in the Fantastic Beasts movie, Nicole Flamel had the treasure of multi-person video calling, which shows that the double-sided mirror actually has room for improvement.
Gareth Greengrass also sent a gift, a pair of dragon leather boots, engraved with ancient runes representing "gravity" on the boots, Xie Lin felt as light as a swallow after wearing them, and his running speed was not inferior to the transformed werewolf at all.Xie Lin loved this pair of boots very much. After all, as long as he missed the shot, the Killing Curse was useless. With this equipment that increases the dodge rate, he will be more confident in future battles.
Daphne and Astoria each gave Schelling a magic book; Murray gave an elegant magic bookmark with a lighting spell attached to it, which is convenient for Schelling to read at night.
Zhang Qiu sent Xie Lin the Zhang family's secret transfiguration technique "Phantom Clone", which Xie Lin had been thinking about, and attached a letter of thanks from Zhang He himself, thanking Xie Lin for taking care of Zhang Qiu this semester.Phantom clone is an extremely profound transfiguration technique, which involves not only the transformation of the body, but also the transformation of the spirit and soul.In Zhang He's own words, it is at least three times more difficult than Animagus's transfiguration.
Through this transfiguration technique, one can turn a certain part of one's body, such as hair, into a second self, which is also known as a clone.
Seeing this, Xie Lin was very excited. Isn't this the same as saying that his combat power has been multiplied by two?
Susan Bones's gift was not bad either. It was an investigative file about the various dark histories of pure-blood families over the years, including the Selwyn family, the Yaxley family, the Avery family, etc., and of course various records of the Malfoy family. These were the investigations and evidence collected by the righteous Aurors, but they were all stopped by their superiors (usually the Minister of Magic) for various inexplicable reasons without exception.
Sure enough, no one can be an official. This gift was obviously given to him by Aunt Liya through Susan. The meaning behind it is worth thinking about!
There are also some simple gifts. For example, Luna gave herself a pimple vine seedling, and tied a bright bow on the seedling as a dress!
There was also an unexpected gift, which was given by Hermione. The gift was an exquisite quill pen, well-behaved, just like an ordinary friend.Only those who are as careful as Schelling can find the very small letters "H" and "S" shallowly engraved on the feather of the quill.
Xie Lin couldn't help but secretly smiled wryly, but he was not willing to just throw it into the trash can.He thought about it, and put it in the locked folder in a precious and precious place.

At around 07:30 in the evening, Schelling changed into an evening dress and walked out of the bedroom. Although Dobby bought this suit for him in Diagon Alley, it was actually custom-made by Mr. Tai Ting, the owner of the tailor shop, who imported silk and black velvet from France in advance.The overall fabric is similar to that of Draco's, all black velvet, but the neckline is a satin lapel with a bright black luster, at least it won't be said to look like a parish priest.
(Note: The wizard’s dress is a Dress Robe, not a Muggle suit. In the original book, Draco is described as wearing a high-necked black velvet dress, and Harry is wearing a dark green dress that is similar to a school robe. It can be seen that the general design and tailoring of the wizard’s robe is the same as that of the usual wizard’s robe except that the fabric is different, that is, the neckline and cuffs can be adjusted.)
Although Xie Lin's appearance could not make all women's eyes full of love and all men's eyes of jealousy like some cool articles, it did firmly become the focus of everyone's attention.
It must be said that no matter how beautiful the clothes are, it depends on who wears them. Xie Lin himself is handsome and tall, and the warrior halo on his head makes him look masculine. Therefore, this simple style of gown can bring out his majesty even more.
Soon, Daphne came to the common room.
Daphne's blond hair was gracefully coiled on the back of her head. She was wearing a satin off-the-shoulder high-cut evening dress, which set off her skin like snow. Under the faint light, she looked so bright and charming.
It was not the first time for Xie Lin to see Daphne dressed up, but he still felt the feeling of being moved, especially the relationship between the two had heated up rapidly during this semester, which made him feel how lucky he was to be reborn as a child for the first time, to experience the pure and green love again.
He walked forward, took Daphne's white and tender hand, kissed it, and said, "You are the most beautiful tonight."
