Chapter 391 The Ball Begins, Peter’s 17th Birthday!!

The warriors were all sitting together, along with the professors, harry looked restrained, constantly tidying up the bow around his neck, but Ginny looked generous, paying attention to Harry’s state and ordering him the food he liked.

Fleur de Lakour commented on the food and the arrangement of the ball, while Roger Davis next to him nodded silly.

Wickdor’s dance partner was still Hermione, and he changed his original silent appearance and happily chatted with Hermione about Durmstrang’s study life. He was also frequently interrupted by Karkaroff, saving him from exposing the school’s address.

After eating, Dumbledore stood up and asked the students to stand up as well, then waved his wand and moved all the tables and chairs to the corner, leaving a clearing in the middle.

Then a gorgeous stage suddenly appeared, and a bunch of instruments appeared on the side of the stage, with guitars, harps, flutes, drum kits, etc. Professor Flitwick came to the instrument in the eyes of the “two seven threes” and waved his wand, like an orchestra conductor, and the instruments automatically made sounds.

At this time, the eccentric sisters, who are the most famous orchestras in the magical world, appeared on the stage, and the audience erupted into thunderous applause. The eccentric sisters, dressed in odd costumes and oddly dressed, picked up their respective instruments and, under the direction of Professor Flitwick, gave off a burst of stirring music.

At this time, the surrounding lights dimmed, leaving only the stage position to be illuminated.

All four warriors got up and took their respective dance partners to the stage, accompanied by the music of the eccentric sisters, circling in place. Peter and Luna have a certain height difference, so it’s mainly Peter who takes her to jump.

But Peter used his eyes to catch harry’s group, harry looked nervous, his body stiff, and he was danced by Ginny.

The main thing was that Harry had not yet grown up at this time, and looked about the same height as Ginny standing together, so the two danced, much like two children dancing among several adults, which seemed a bit funny.

After the Christmas Ball, the students were still unsatisfied, but the professors did not give the students time to relax, but instead aggravated their studies, and wanted these crazy students to pull their minds back.

On January 1, Peter officially celebrated his 17th birthday, from which point on his tracks would disappear and the Ministry of Magic would no longer be able to monitor his tracks at any time. Peter had thought that burning the traces in the wand would be able to escape the Ministry of Magic’s tracking, but apparently the Ministry of Magic was not so stupid, because the traces were essentially no different from contract magic, and even if the traces were burned, they would quickly recover.

The Ministry of Magic traces are divided into two types, one is the trace on the surface, that is, the trace on the wand, mainly to facilitate the inspection of the ownership and monitoring of the wand, so this trace is the label on which the wand is made, otherwise Ollivander cannot sell it.

This trail was burned by Peter with the Phoenix Fire in the first place, so that in the future, except for Peter and Ollivander, no one knows where the wand belongs.

But another trail is actually an agreement signed by the students after enrollment, and at the end of the first grade, the school will let the students sign a notice prohibiting the use of magic outside the school, as long as they sign their names on it, they will officially sign the contract.

The contract will leave a mark on the student, which is the so-called trace, as long as there is a magic fluctuation near the student, the Ministry of Magic’s Department for the Prohibition of Abuse of Magic will sense it, send a warning letter, and the second time it will be directly expelled from the school.

Of course, this is mainly used on Muggle students, the children of wizards mainly rely on self-awareness and parental supervision, after all, in the wizarding family, adult wizards often use spells at home, and the magic part is not clear whether the parents or students use magic, so the traces can not play a big deterrent role at all.

This is one of the reasons why Peter hates traces, after all, this naked and discriminatory trace has kept the little wizards of Muggle families at the bottom of the chain of discrimination.

Of course, Peter had not suffered such discrimination over the years, but the Ministry of Magic’s Department for the Prohibition of the Abuse of Magic was tossed by him and finally gave up the surveillance of him, but Peter was still very unhappy that he had this mark on his body, and now he could finally say goodbye to this disgusting trace.

On their 17th birthday, neither Aunt nor Wales could come to the wizarding world: so they could only congratulate Peter on a happy birthday through a double-sided mirror.

Several of Peter’s friends, who attach great importance to his 17th birthday, deliberately set up a birthday party in the Room of Needs, and several people secretly asked the house-elf on their backs about the making of cakes.

What ended up in front of Peter was a large, rough-cut cake with the words “Happy Birthday Peter York!” ”

And the gifts they had carefully prepared.

Peter gladly accepted their gift, Peter’s birthday party, at his request, was not known to many people… So Peter had a fun birthday in comfort.

The age of 17 was considered a sign of adulthood in the wizarding world, so Peter quickly seized the last time to register for this year’s Phantom Transfiguration Exam, and he, Cedric and Allen, in the envious eyes of the twins, all took part in this year’s Phantom Transfiguration. The two of them are only a few months away from turning seventeen, so they can only wait until next year to sign up.

The time passed quickly, and it was February, and soon it was the second race.

Peter wasn’t worried, so he studied, rested, and had time to look at the triangle story of Wickdor and Hermione and Ron. Among them, Ron and Hermione have been caught in the Cold War since the Christmas Ball, and Ron is jealous of Hermione becoming Wikdor’s dance partner, and Hermione feels that Ron does not know what to call it, and has not considered inviting her as a dance partner.

Harry, on the other hand, was torn between the two, trying to reconcile the two partners all day, and even forgot about the second game.

Peter watched with relish, and with a bad eye, he tricked Wickdor into pursuing Hermione and trying to take advantage of the cold war between the two of them.

Then, with Peter’s encouragement, Wickdor gathered around Hermione every day like chicken blood, booing and asking for warmth. This brought hermione and Ron’s slightly softened relationship back to an impasse.

Alan saw Peter’s operation and said wordlessly, “If you do this, if Fred George knows, they will beat you, but they have always wanted Hermione to be their sister-in-law, and you are digging Ron’s corner for others!” ”

“If there is anything, I am catalyzing their feelings!”

Peter didn’t admit it at all, retorting solemnly, “If it weren’t for my intervention, when would Ron understand their intentions?” Now it is testing the depth of their feelings, if they are firm, if Ron can actively fight, it will not let Wickdor dig the wall to succeed! ”

Alan skimmed his lips and looked at him with contempt and said, “How did I find out that you guy is so bad!” I see that you are not wonderful enough to add materials yourself.”

“What’s the matter?”

Peter was told a dry cough with a wandering look in his eyes.

However, learning from the twins that Harry had not yet found the clue in the golden egg, Peter was ready to find a time to remind him, as if he had taken the initiative to find himself to see the dragon before repaying it.
