Chapter 350 A Fantastic Christmas Dinner
In the quiet dormitory.
Lan Deng was still unpacking the gifts tirelessly, and the sound of "swishing" was endless when the package was torn open.
Ino no longer had the heart to unpack the gifts at this moment.
Although he had just speculated on Voldemort's logic, he actually understood Snape's difficulties.
Is Snape a smart man? There is no doubt about this, and he can even be described as brilliant.
A smart man who has been with Voldemort for more than ten years, as long as he still has reason, will naturally find the difference. And Snape's letter seems to be about the current situation, but in essence it is a kind of entrustment and request.
Because at the end of the letter, Snape directly presented the key to the Gringotts vault.
Although the accumulation of a potion master's half-life may not be all, it is still very rich.
...
Time passed quietly.
With doubts in his heart, Ino did not choose to leave the dormitory for most of the next day.
At noon, he asked Lan Deng to make some food, and the rest of the time was in a state of thinking.
If possible, he still wanted to help Snape within his ability. It was best to repay the debt of favor.
…
Unconsciously, the sky had gradually darkened.
Six o'clock in the afternoon.
Ino stood up and walked to the wardrobe in the dormitory.
There were many formal dresses prepared by the Ministry of Magic for the Quidditch concert.
Although he only wore one set at the time, the rest were packed by Bagman and given out as a favor.
In the other person's words, they were all tailor-made, and it would be a waste not to accept them.
Thinking about it, Ino slowly opened the door of the closet.
He chose a robe with a main body of silver-gray silk fabric and embroidered lavender vine-shaped borders on the cuffs and hem.
After getting dressed, he pushed open the door of the dormitory.
…
Tonight.
Hogwarts seemed particularly gorgeous.
The little wizards were no longer all wearing black robes. The castle was full of colorful evening gowns. At first glance, it looked like a medieval palace dinner.
Gryffindor common room.
Harry sat alone on the sofa, waiting for his dance partner boredly. As for the others, whether it was Ron or Neville, they all left the lounge early in the morning.
"Sorry, Harry! I kept you waiting for so long." Ginny greeted him from a distance at the stairs of the girls' dormitory.
Hearing this, Harry turned his head quickly. However, at a glance, he had to admit that Ginny seemed to have changed overnight.
A purple tight-fitting evening dress made her figure exquisite, and her long red curly hair, every curve seemed to show the youthful charm of the girl.
"Uh... Ginny... So beautiful!" Harry interrupted three times in one sentence.
Although he stumbled, fortunately he also expressed the basic meaning clearly.
Seeing Harry's dazed look, Ginny couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Okay, let's go! The warriors are responsible for the opening dance."
...
Seven o'clock in the evening.
The two towering oak doors of the auditorium were opened, and the familiar scene had long disappeared.
Instead, it was a dreamland like a starry sky.
Purple ceiling, scattered stars, and flying fairies, ranging from one to five inches, are just like elves in fairy tales.
They flap their colorful wings and draw beautiful rainbows in the hall.
The walls around the hall seem to be enchanted. The once empty walls are now covered with various three-foot-high Christmas trees, and on top of the Christmas tree is a five-pointed star emitting orange light.
And there are at least hundreds of such Christmas trees, and they perfectly replace the candlesticks in the hall and become the lighting equipment here.
Of course, these mini Christmas trees are not only used for lighting.
Because they are also hung with various Honeydukes candies. As long as a little wizard taps the wall with a magic wand, a candy will fall randomly from the tree.
...
In the hall.
Harry looked at the dreamlike scene in front of him and couldn't find any words to describe it for a while.
Suddenly.
Harry noticed that it seemed to be quiet behind him.
Following Moody's long-term training, he turned around alertly at the first time, and did not forget to block Ginny behind him.
But when he looked back, he relaxed his vigilance again.
Not far away, Ino was walking towards this side with an elegant and beautiful girl.
"Huh, that's Hermione!" Noticing Harry's gaze, Ginny turned her head and blew hard in her ear.
The strangeness from her ears made Harry no longer stop to watch, but he was still surprised in his heart that Hermione actually had such a side.
...
Outside the door of the auditorium.
Hermione took Ino's arm and walked slowly.
She was graceful and every step seemed to be on point.
And at her feet, she was wearing a pair of three-inch black high heels, and with the swaying skirt, the whole person was indescribably elegant and generous.
As for the dress on the upper body, it was a light blue slim long skirt. The skirt seemed to have been modified because the slits and backless elements of the long skirt were deleted.
But even so, among all the retro dresses, this dress is novel and beautiful, especially when paired with the moonstone necklace on the chest.
The moonstone, which is the size of a pigeon egg, emits a white light, and is paired with a light blue dress. Overall, it looks like the goddess of the moon, Artemis, walking out of a painting.
…
Hermione's beauty was stunning, but she didn't monopolize the attention, because a large number of girls' eyes fell on her side.
Perhaps in daily life, Ino always wears a black robe, and occasionally lives in seclusion, which makes many people have a stereotype. ’
Today, she suddenly changed her clothes, which made many people feel a sense of contrast.
Ino was wearing a silver-grey satin robe, standing under the ceiling of the purple starry sky, reflecting the enchanting light.
His handsome appearance, pure amber eyes, and gentle smile really make many girls unable to take their eyes away.
Of course, while admiring it, the girls also have extra film and television mirrors in their hands.
…
eight pm.
Professor McGonagall and the other two principals entered the scene together. What was surprising was that Dumbledore, who was supposed to appear, was nowhere to be seen.
But even if Dumbledore didn't attend, not many people cared.
After all, everyone's attention is on the dance that is about to begin.
"Warriors and dance partners, please come here!"
Professor McGonagall's voice sounded, and the four warriors walked slowly on the stage.
It is worth mentioning that Ino matched up with Fleur. This French girl also wore a silver-gray evening dress.
Feeling the strength from her arm, Ino smiled silently, and then, in full view of everyone, she gently tapped her cuffs with her fingers.
The silver-gray dress instantly turned into a sea blue that echoed Hermione's.
In the middle of the scene, Hermione pursed her lips slightly, and the pride in her eyes flashed away.
…
It is tradition for the warriors to perform the opening dance of the Triwizard Tournament.
As the Warriors entered the arena, at the same time, Professor Flitwick stood on the stool and waved his wand. In front of him was a row of enchanted musical instruments.
And the Professor of Charms was like a conductor at the moment. As the wand moved, a waltz with clear rhythm also sounded.
The moment the music started playing, Ino also held Hermione's hand.
At that moment, a pair of moonstone rings touched each other.
And above the two people's heads, the sky about two feet directly above them was shining with a white halo like moonlight, and the stars were falling like snowflakes.
"This dance song is called "First Encounter", the famous song by the Weird Sisters."
On the dance floor, Ino whispered in Hermione's ear.
