Chapter 467 Rowena's Quick Wisdom
"Ohh Ohh ohh……"
When Les came out of the dormitory, he saw this strange scene: Malfoy was slumped in an armchair in the lounge, sobbing softly, and his two little followers Crabbe and Goyle stood behind him at a loss, not knowing what to say, and could only keep moving their joints, feeling like they were about to go to the boxing ring in the next second. Pansy half-knelt in front of him, comforting him softly.
"It's okay, everyone understands, this is not your fault..."
Many Slytherin students gathered in the lounge, and everyone was trying hard to hold back their laughter while looking at Malfoy with a teasing look.
"What a shame! Damn bastard Veela!" Pansy's comfort worked and Malfoy stopped crying, but his emotions were replaced by anger.
"I must tell my father to have Beauxbatons expel that damn bastard!" Malfoy said gritting his teeth.
In Malfoy's view, what he had just experienced was a great humiliation.
As the heir of the Malfoy family, he actually invited a half-Veela to be his dance partner?! Although Fleur was indeed pretty, she had Veela blood in her! What was even more infuriating was that she actually rejected his invitation!
After venting his most intense emotions, Malfoy asked Crabbe for a piece of parchment and a quill, and began to write a letter to his father, Lucius Malfoy.
"The ancestors of the Malfoy family would definitely be ashamed of me!" Draco Malfoy muttered to himself in an almost desperate tone while writing a letter of complaint.
Pansy, Crabbe and Goyle on the side looked at each other, not knowing how to respond. They could only scold Fleur like a tape recorder, saying that her behavior was shameless and consistent with her bloodline.
"As long as Fleur's family is rich or prestigious enough, your ancestors may not necessarily regard you as a disgrace. Instead, they may be very happy." After complaining about the Malfoy family's family tradition in his heart, Rice left the Slytherin College lounge and went outside to chat with Helga and the others.
Christmas is here in the blink of an eye.
With the arrival of Christmas, Rice suddenly discovered the benefit of being a contestant: he can finally not do his homework in a legitimate way!
Yes, in order to allow the contestants to better prepare for the tournament, the Hogwarts professors, led by Professor McGonagall, took the initiative to exempt the contestants from their homework, and their only homework was to prepare for the tournament.
This is undoubtedly great news for Rice. Although he would not do his homework by himself in the past, as a person who abides by the rules, this situation that does not break the rules and allows him to live comfortably is what he likes most.
Along with Christmas, there was heavy snow. Snowflakes fell on the castle and the campus, dyeing the whole world white. The house elves in the kitchen changed the menu and increased the proportion of stews on the table, which made people feel warm after eating.
On Christmas Day, when Rice woke up from his sleep, the first thing he did was to look at the foot of the bed, where there was a pile of gifts as in previous years.
After seeing the pile of packages, a smile appeared on Rice's face. He put on a single coat and sat on the bed to open the gifts.
The gifts were as generous as in previous years, especially the Christmas gifts from Daphne and Astoria, which were exquisite and expensive, making Les extremely satisfied.
Gifts always make people happy. With the help of dozens of gifts, Rice started the whole day in a good mood.
In winter, people are always lazy and just want to lie in bed and do nothing. Rice is no exception. Leaning against the fireplace in the lounge and staring at the fire is the ultimate enjoyment for Rice.
He really spent the whole day like this.
When the hour hand of the wall clock pointed to "seven", Les realized that the Christmas party would start in an hour.
He returned to his dormitory and changed into a dress robe that was emerald green with silver snake patterns on the cuffs.
When he returned to the common room, he found that it was filled with people as if by magic. Daphne and Astoria were there, both wearing the same dress robes, with only a slight difference in the pattern details - very similar to what they were wearing when Les first saw them.
When they saw Rice appear, their eyes lit up and they quickly walked towards him.
Rice heard the sound of footsteps. It turned out that both of them had changed into crystal high heels. The crisp sound was made by the heels hitting the marble floor, and even the noisy sound in the public lounge could not cover it up.
"The clothes fit very well."
"The color suits you."
"Thank you. Your dresses are very beautiful too." Rice smiled at the two sisters. "Also, I like your gifts very much."
"That's great!" Daphne and Astoria suddenly became happy.
The three of them got together and chatted for a while, and then it was time to set off.
The students of Slytherin House collectively walked down the stairs to the first floor of the castle, where students from other houses were already crowding together.
Fleur Delacour floated through the crowd in a silver-grey satin gown. If her beauty attracted the attention of countless boys, then her male companion attracted the attention of countless girls.
Fleur's dance partner was Viktor Krum.
The two were assigned to the same group in the Alchemy World, and spent a month together, getting to know each other. After the "sneak attack" on Rice failed and provoked Malfoy instead, Fleur changed her target and joined Krum.
She was lucky that after Krum came out of the alchemy world, he had been staying on Durmstrang's ship for closed-door training, which allowed Fleur to take advantage of the opportunity.
Putting aside this pair of contestants who attracted the most attention, Rice also noticed that Hermione's dance partner was Cedric, and Neville followed behind them, and his dance partner was Luna.
Compared to Fleur, Luna was another form of eye-catching. To be frank, Les thought Luna looked like a cupcake.
"Les Lint, good evening." A voice sounded behind Les. Les turned his head and found that it was Rowena who was dragged into the water by him.
Rowena also dressed up for today's dance.
She chose a Roman-style sky blue robe, wore an olive branch wreath on her head, and wore Roman shoes on her feet. She looked like someone who had walked out of an ancient Roman mural.
I have to say that Aries left Rowena with a good appearance.
After greeting Les, Rowena fell silent, her eyes evasive, not daring to look Les in the eye.
Les:…
He suddenly felt that something seemed to be wrong.
After staring at each other for a few seconds, Rice's eyes suddenly widened.
“You’re an Aries!”
