Chapter 227 Stunning Hermione
Hephesus wore a snake-shaped obsidian earring on his left ear, and emeralds were inlaid in the snake's eyes, adding a bit of evil charm to him.
He was wearing a fitted black robe with dragon patterns embroidered on it with gold thread.
The dragon pattern was very similar to his Animagi form.
Inside the lobby, there was a constant flow of people, and students were milling about.
The doors of the auditorium will not open until eight o'clock.
Some people wanted to meet dance partners from other colleges, so they squeezed in the crowd, looking for each other.
Behind Hephes, a group of little snakes stood together, each with their own dance partner.
However, there were three exceptions. They stood alone without any dance partners.
Hephis was not surprised that Goyle and Crabbe did not find dance partners, but...
"Draco, where is your dance partner? Hasn't he arrived yet?" Hephis asked.
Draco shook his head slightly, "I didn't."
"Hmm?" Hephis was a little confused.
Given Draco's popularity in Hogwarts, not all girls would agree, but at least one third would agree.
"I don't really feel like dancing." Draco said with a hint of disappointment in his tone.
From time to time, he glanced in the direction of Harry and Parvati.
"Oh~ I see." Hephis raised his tone and said teasingly.
"Ahem." Draco cleared his throat and changed the subject, "Where's Hermione? She wouldn't have forgotten the time, would she?"
"It's more troublesome for girls to put on makeup, so I've asked An An to help." Hefeis explained.
As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion spread among the crowd.
"Wow!"
"Look, look."
"Who is that?"
"From Beauxbatons?"
"Impossible. All students from Beauxbatons are adults. She doesn't look that old."
"She came down the stairs. She must be from Gryffindor or Ravenclaw."
"Is there such a beautiful girl in our school?"
People around started talking.
"Is it Hermione?"
Harry jerked off his glasses, wiped them vigorously on his robes, and put them back on, his eyes wide.
Ron also had a look of disbelief on his face, staring at Hermione with his eyes fixed.
Hermione's fair face was painted with light pink blush and her eyelashes became longer, adding a bit of beauty.
The eyeshadow changes from light champagne gold to deep purple-brown, making her eyes look brighter.
Her lips were a bright rose red, and her mouth corners were slightly raised in a charming and slightly shy smile.
A lavender silk robe fit her body perfectly, outlining her graceful curves.
Her hair was smooth and shiny, tied into a high bun at the back of her head.
She wore the diamond necklace given by Hephes on her fair neck, looking like an elf princess from fairyland.
Hephis came forward and extended a hand very gentlemanly.
Hermione gently placed her left hand on Hephis's palm and slowly walked down the stairs.
The students around them stared at them in amazement, what a handsome man and beautiful woman.
At this time, the lawn in front of the castle turned into a cave, with stars twinkling inside.
Hundreds of fairies shuttled among the fairies, some sitting leisurely among the gorgeous rose bushes, and some flapping their wings on the statues.
The statues appear to be Santa Claus and his reindeer.
Professor McGonagall came out in a red plaid robe, "Warriors, please come over here!"
The other students will enter first, and the warriors will need to wait until last to enter.
Fleur's dance partner was Roger Davis, Captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team, and they stood closest to the door.
Harry stood with Parvati, a beautiful girl in a pink robe.
As for the girl next to Krum, Hephis actually knew her - Sofia Hilda.
It was the Ravenclaw senior who had reminded him in the library a long time ago.
She was probably the only one who didn't come to fight this "BOSS" like the other Ravenclaw girls.
At this moment, she lowered her head, her cheeks flushed, but her eyes couldn't help but steal a glance at Hephes.
As the guests took their seats one after another, the auditorium was gradually filled with festive warmth and liveliness.
Professor McGonagall led the warriors and their dance partners, two by two, and slowly walked into the hall.
The people in the auditorium immediately applauded enthusiastically.
Amidst the applause, they walked to the large round table at the front of the auditorium where the referee was sitting.
The walls of the auditorium are covered with shimmering silver frost, and the ceiling is a dazzling starry sky.
Hundreds of wreaths woven from sprigs of mistletoe and ivy dot the scene.
The four long college tables have disappeared, replaced by a hundred small and exquisite lantern tables.
Around each table sat students laughing and talking happily.
The warriors came to the front of the guest of honor seat, and Dumbledore smiled gently.
Hephis could tell at a glance that this was Dumbledore himself.
Although his face was still as old as before, his hands were extremely delicate.
Madame Maxime wore a flowing lavender gown.
Unlike her usual seriousness, there was a faint smile on her face.
Hagrid was sitting nervously next to Madame Maxime.
Snape, wearing the iconic Slytherin dark green robe, looked at them with gentle eyes.
Fulla beside him was also dressed up carefully tonight and was equally stunningly beautiful.
The warriors and their dance partners also sat down in the empty seats at the large round table.
Fleur deliberately sat on the right side of Hephis and moved her chair closer to Hephis.
At this moment, she was chatting with Hermione across Hephis.
It looked as if Hephis had two female companions.
Davis didn't care about it at all. He still looked at Furong with an obsessive look, as if as long as he could see Furong, it would be enough.
"Hermione, can I call you that?" Fleur's voice was clear.
Hermione smiled sweetly, "Of course no problem."
"Fla often mentioned you to me, saying that you are very smart. I didn't expect you are so beautiful." Furong praised.
Hermione's cheeks were slightly red, a little shy, "No, Fleur, you are really beautiful."
Furong glanced at Hephis and said, "This guy is really lucky."
"Ahem." Hephis cleared his throat and picked up the small menu in front of him.
Unlike the others, he has two menus.
He looked at the menu carefully. "Three servings of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall."
Three bowls of steaming Buddha Jumps Over the Wall instantly appeared in front of him.
Hephis pushed one of the pieces in front of Furong, the meaning was self-evident.
Eat quickly and shut your mouth.
Furong rolled her eyes at Hephis, picked up the spoon and took a sip, her eyes immediately lit up.
The moment you take a sip, the rich and mellow soup wraps around your tongue.
It has extremely rich layers, with freshness, fragrance, mellowness and sweetness blending together.
She couldn't wait to taste the ingredients and found them very delicious.
