Chapter 163 Christmas Ball
Inside the Slytherin common room.
Draco stood erect in a black velvet high-necked gown.Pansy stood beside him in a frilly pale pink gown, holding his arm tightly.
The usually quiet Knott didn't plan to attend the dance, so he didn't show up.
Crabbe and Goyle were green like two moss-covered rocks, and they had no partners around them.
Blaise was wearing a dark green dress, and his dancing partner was a 5th grade Slytherin girl, who was pretty good looking, and was chattering excitedly in Blaise's ear at the moment, without noticing that Blaise's slightly wrinkled face brow.
They walked out of the stone wall, up the stairs, and by eight o'clock they were in the foyer, which was already full of students, circling back and forth, waiting for the doors of the Great Hall to open.Some people want to meet their dance partners from other colleges, so they squeeze sideways through the crowd, looking for each other's figure.
Not long after, there was an exclamation from the crowd, and it turned out that it was Fleur Delacour who came over.She was wearing a silver-gray satin gown, and under the added effect of her Veela bloodline, she had a thrilling charm just standing there.Accompanying her is Roger Davies, captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team.
At this moment, the oak gates of the castle opened.Everyone turned their heads and saw Durmstrang's students walking in with Professor Karkaroff.Schelling saw Eleanor walking in the front, and her dancing partner was Polyarco, who had a somewhat unrestrained manner while eating.Krum was there too, but instead of Hermione, his partner was a schoolgirl from Beauxbatons.
Only then did Schelling remember that he had seen Harry and Ron just now, but hadn't seen Hermione. It seemed that she didn't plan to attend the ball.
When the gate opened, Xie Lin also took the opportunity to get a glimpse of the scene outside the castle.A piece of lawn in front of the castle was turned into a grotto, with fairy lights shining in it.That means hundreds of living fairies sitting in enchanted rose bushes or flapping their wings on statues that appear to be Santa Claus and his reindeer.
At this time, Professor McGonagall's voice sounded: "Please come here, warriors!"
A passageway flashed through the chattering crowd to let them pass.Professor McGonagall wore a red tartan robe with an ugly thistle wreath on the brim of his hat.She told the warrior and her partner to stand by the door and let the others go in first.After the students were all seated, they lined up and walked into the auditorium.
At this time, Schelling met Beauxbaton's warrior Katarin.Tonight's Katarin is also amazingly beautiful. She is wearing a pure white off-the-shoulder long dress, her beautiful collarbone is looming, and the skirt's material is so white that it seems to be transparent, but it is not exposed at all. She looks like an angel who has fallen into the mortal world.The hem of the skirt curves from high to low, and it is gracefully puffed up, revealing the girl's pair of white and slender legs like jade. The corners of the skirt are covered with diamonds, like countless beautiful morning dew.
Her dancing partner is very interesting. He is a tall and thin boy with a pale face, and he is also the seventh-year Slytherin prefect-Hector Foley.
The Foley family is one of the holy 28 pure-blood families. It is similar to the Crouch family. They both belong to the family who are enthusiastic about politics, but they don't have much involvement in business and wealth.What's interesting is that Hector has a grandfather with the same name as him. He once defeated his opponent by a high vote and became the Minister of Magic, but he stepped down because of the improper handling of the Grindelwald Rebellion.
What really interested Schelling was, did he really mishandle it?Or was it intentional at all?
With Schelling's attainments in the history of magic, he knew exactly how many Aurors died in Europe and America during that turmoil—the number was astonishing, and it was almost a bone-shattering number in terms of the population of wizards. up.Interestingly, among the dead Aurors, there are almost no 28 pure-blood family members, how about it?Interesting?
Since the last semester, Xie Lin has been thinking about taking revenge on the Ghost Club.In his heart, the mysterious leader of the Ghost Society already has several candidates for suspicion, and Hector Foley is the number one suspect among many candidates!
Schelling narrowed his eyes slightly, looking away from the two of them.
As for Harry, his dancing partner is Parvati, an Indian girl from the same college.In all fairness, Parvati's conditions are very good, her appearance and facial features are considered sweet, and her family background is not bad. The poor girl matched with the straight boy Harry. From Harry's expression, it is obvious that he has no interest in this dance partner. He only invited her as a dance partner because he couldn't find another partner.
(Note: Parvati was praised by Dean Thomas as the most beautiful girl in the whole grade; while in the first grade, Pansy called her by her first name instead of her last name, indicating that she had been in contact with these pure-blood cliques before entering school)
Under Professor McGonagall's instructions, the students soon crowded into their seats.After everyone took their seats in the auditorium, Professor McGonagall asked the warriors and their dance partners to line up two by two, and followed her in.They filed in and walked towards a large round table with referees sitting in the front of the auditorium. The people in the auditorium applauded enthusiastically.
The walls of the auditorium were covered with gleaming silver frost, the ceiling was a starry night sky, and hundreds of garlands of mistletoe sprigs and ivy hung.The four academy tables were gone, replaced by a hundred small lantern-lit tables, with a dozen or so people seated at each table.
The warriors came to the front of the guest table, Dumbledore was smiling, and Karkaroff was expressionless.Ludo Bagman clapped enthusiastically in a bright purple gown, and Madam Maxim wore a lilac flowing gown.Mr. Crouch did not come.In the fifth seat at the table sat Percy Weasley.
The warriors and their partners walked up to the table, and Percy pulled an empty chair beside him and looked at Harry with a bright eye.Harry understood what he meant and sat down next to Percy.Percy wore a brand new navy blue dress robe and had a smug, smug look on his face.
"I've been promoted," Percy said before Harry could speak—in a tone you'd think he'd just been chosen to be the ruler of the universe. "I'm Mr. Crouch's personal assistant now, and I'm here on his behalf."
The warriors and their partners were seated at a table covered with golden plates and a small menu beside it.Just read the dish you want to eat on the plate, and the food will suddenly appear on the plate.
The dinner was a good one, at least most people ate happily, and the atmosphere was lively.
After everything was eaten, Dumbledore stood up and asked the students to stand up too.Then with a flick of his wand, all the tables whizzed away to the walls, leaving an open space in between.He also conjured up a high stage, attached to the base of the right wall, on which stood a drum kit, some guitars, a lute, a cello, and several organs.
At this time, the Weird Sisters embraced the stage together, and the audience burst into thunderous applause.They (the author is not mistaken, they are men) have very thick hair and wear black robes that are deliberately torn and tattered.They took up their instruments, the lanterns on his table were extinguished, and the warriors and their partners rose to their feet.
The Weird Sisters played a slow, sad tune.Xie Lin took Daphne's hand into the dance floor, put one hand on her waist, and danced slowly to the dance music.
Xie Lin's dancing skills are not top-notch, no matter in his past or present life, he didn't spend too much time on these frivolous activities, but as a direct descendant of the Malfoy family, he definitely has basic dancing skills.
But Schelling also has an advantage. His body has undergone magical transformations time and time again. Whether it is in agility or flexibility, he is much better than the dance masters in the Muggle world.And Daphne, as a lady of the family, social dance is a key compulsory course, and her dance skills are perfect.The dance steps of the two are extremely smooth and pleasing to the eye, and every movement is full of nobility and elegance. In the eyes of others, it looks like a beautiful picture of a prince and a princess dancing together.
On the other hand, the dance between Harry and Parvati was a bit appalling. Harry was like a circus dog, let Parvati lead him around, and he was dragged east and west. Schelling could even hear Draco's soft mocking sound.
Eleanor and Polyarco's dance is quite satisfactory, there is nothing to comment on.
As for Katharine, she is indeed a girl who grew up in romantic France. She is very familiar with dancing. With her graceful figure, every movement reveals a soul-stirring beauty.
It can be said that if it weren't for the combination of Xie Lin's handsome man and beautiful woman who had an advantage in appearance and successfully shared half of the eyes, Katarin could almost focus the light of the entire dance floor on her, making other warriors transparent .
Well, at least the two groups of Harry Potter and Eleanor are in this predicament now.
At this moment, even Dumbledore and McGonagall, who were extremely partial to Harry, couldn't help thinking, "Fortunately, we still have Schelling..."
Soon, many people also entered the dance hall together.Draco and Pansy spun slowly beside them, and Pansy smiled unbelievably happily.
Nearby, Dumbledore was waltzing with Madame Maxime, his pointed hat just touching her chin.Mad-Eye Moody was doing a very awkward two-step dance with Professor Sinistra, who was nervously dodging his wooden prosthetic leg.
The organ played the last trembling note, the Weird Sisters stopped playing, the auditorium burst into applause again, and then the Weird Sisters began to play a melody with a cheerful rhythm.
Xie Lin took Daphne to the outside of the dance floor and took a break.Dancing is physical work, and Schelling feels fine, but he doesn't want Daphne to be too tired.
After a while, Maury and Astoria also came. They didn't dance, but joined Schelling and Daphne's chat directly at the ball.The four chatted eagerly, and after a while, the Weird Sisters played another beautiful piece of music. Daphne pushed Xie Lin, and Xie Lin immediately understood, and stretched out his hand to invite Murray to dance.
Murray's dance steps were a little blunt, but under Schelling's careful guidance and guidance, there was no problem.After the dance, Schelling gently escorted Murray off the dance floor, and then danced the next dance with Astoria.
It was also thanks to Schelling's physical strength that he was the strongest among wizards. He was in his prime, and he drank several potions that would permanently increase his physical strength. He was also transformed into his body by the "source of life" left by Hufflepuff. That's why he was able to dance continuously. The other young wizards danced two dances in a row, and they were already out of breath.So, why some people can have three girlfriends, but some people can't even handle one. It turns out that "the capable ones work harder"!
Halfway through the dance, the weird sisters who were invited to sing have already changed three songs.
Roger Davis, who had been intoxicated in the dance, suddenly summoned up the courage to try to kiss Fleur, but Fleur raised her eyebrows and pushed him away vigorously, so that he could only stand awkwardly on the dance floor at a loss.
Fleur looked around, saw Xie Lin and the other four, showed a moving smile, and walked over, "Mr. Malfoy, I don't know if I have the honor. Would you like to dance?"
"Oh, of course," Schelling smiled confidently, "beautiful Mademoiselle Delacour."
