As the sun began to set, the students, who were a little tired from playing around, started to rush towards the castle.
They plan to go back to the lounge to freshen up and change into their respective dress robes for tonight's Christmas dinner.
Some students were waiting in the auditorium early. They found that the auditorium was still in the stage of setting up, and wizards in working robes were holding their wands and casting spells on the walls.
This is a professional construction team of wizards belonging to the magical world, and they are only proficient in such a magic as the Untraceable Stretching Curse.
Their usual tasks are also very simple, that is, to travel among various magic manors to expand the venue for those wizards who plan to hold banquets.
In addition to inviting a professional team to expand the venue, Dumbledore also invited wizards who professionally arranged banquets to decorate the entire auditorium.
Not only that, but a large band has also started tuning instruments for tonight's Yule Ball.
Soon, as more and more students entered the auditorium, they were pleasantly surprised to find that the auditorium had completely changed.
They seem to be stepping on the starry sky, and every step they take will be a little bit of starlight surrounding their feet, which has a different kind of dreamy color.
There was also a dreamy moon hanging in the sky of the auditorium, and many pretty and petite fairies flapped their wings and flew over the auditorium.
They smiled one after another, picked up the delicate and small flower baskets in their hands, and sprinkled pieces of glittering powder one after another.
Before the glitter falls to the ground, it will be collected by the starry sky on the ground and returned to the fairy's flower basket.
It can be seen that the wizard's skill tree is indeed a bit crooked. There are a lot of activities for eating, drinking and having fun, but there is no creation like a "steam engine" that can promote the progress of civilization.
When Kong Nuo came to the auditorium, he was obviously taken aback.
Today's auditorium is as large as a football field, with a bright super-large stage in the middle.
The original long tables of the academy also disappeared, replaced by banquet tables one after another.
The students were dressed in colorful gowns, which already had a very strong prom atmosphere.
As Kong Nuo walked all the way, friendly students kept waving at him and giving away dog food.
After walking for a long time, he saw a higher platform in front of him, and on the platform was a band that was ready.
"Fred! George! Don't play magic fireworks here!" A familiar roar appeared, and Professor McGonagall was severely reprimanding the Weasley twins.
Even though the Weasley twins blasted the snow all afternoon, they still looked full of vitality.
The duo wore shimmering dress gowns with some odd ripping effects, so eccentric in their gowns that they looked like they had been creatively modified.
They heard Professor McGonagall's scolding, and quickly laughed and said: "I asked the staff just now, and they said that magic fireworks can be set off, and they will not destroy the surrounding magic."
"Do you think I don't know what kind of fireworks you are using?" Professor McGonagall scolded, "Fire Dragon Roaring Magic Fireworks! I have confiscated many of them recently!"
As the dean of Gryffindor, Professor McGonagall naturally understands where the Weasley twins are weak, and said in one sentence:
"This kind of magical fireworks is not the so-called conventional fireworks at all! Are you going to take care of the aftermath? It will cost a lot of Galleons to restore these magics!"
"Cough cough cough...Okay! Then we'll wait until it's outdoor... Ah! It's Professor Kong! Merry Christmas!" The Weasley twins looked embarrassed and waved their hands in Kong Nuo's direction.
Connor stepped forward and gave the Weasley twins a warning look.
The Weasley twins also understood immediately, one held a magic firework, and the other put his hands in the shape of "x", expressing that he would never mess around at the ball.
Professor McGonagall naturally noticed the actions of both parties, and said with a long sigh: "Konno, they still listen to you the most!"
Today she was wearing a bright red plaid robe, a pointed wizard hat, and a wreath of thistles around it.
Such an outfit is a bit weird to Kong Nuo, but from the eyes of a wizard, there is nothing wrong with it.
After all, Kong Nuo had met Grandma Neville, and the scene where Grandma Neville directly fixed the stuffed animals on the wizard hat was hard for him to forget.
"Professor McGonagall, Merry Christmas!" Kong Nuo quickly searched for suitable words of praise, "You... are dressed festively today! It suits you very well! I feel a few years younger!"
"Are you young?" Professor McGonagall smiled, waved his hands and said, "After all, it's a Christmas ball. I asked the students to let go of themselves, and of course they have to lead by example."
Kong Nuo nodded, and he was relieved.
It is basically hard to go wrong when you praise a lady for being young.
There are still a lot of trivial matters to be dealt with at the Christmas ball, and Professor McGonagall has a heavy sense of responsibility. She didn't chat with Kong Nuo too much, and then went to maintain order.
Both Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout, like Professor McGonagall, put on brand new dress robes.
Even Hagrid, who had difficulty owning suitable clothes, also changed into an extremely "rough" brown plush robe for this Christmas ball.
Among the four deans, the only one who did not make any changes was naturally Professor Snape.
He was still wearing a black robe, walking towards Kong Nuo with the sound of wind, like a big bat flying with wings.
"Close your ears and listen (muffliato)!" Snape directly raised his wand and tapped his surroundings.
Kong Nuo can clearly feel that a layer of magical energy field has formed, and even the voices of the surrounding students have become much quieter.
"If you want to be an undercover agent, you should at least go out and talk outside, right? There are so many people here, isn't it convenient?" Kong Nuo joked.
"Hmm..." Snape murmured, and explained earnestly, "This way it will not easily arouse suspicion, and what I want to know is not something particularly private."
"Okay...it's rare for Snape to take the initiative to ask questions, so I will reluctantly cooperate!" Kong Nuo spread his hands and said.
"I feel like they're avoiding me, and they won't discuss anything with me recently." Snape said straight to the point, "What are you going to do recently?"
"They? We?" Kong Nuo raised his eyebrows, "Who are you referring to? This scope is a bit broad."
"Dumbledore, of course," said Snape. "I wanted to contribute, but Dumbledore kept pushing back."
"Contribute?" Kong Nuo touched his nose, "Although it would seem a bit unlucky to say such a thing on a day of celebration."
"But I still want to ask, are you so eager...to find death?"
