If audio player doesn't work, press Stop then Play button again




The auditorium was noisy.

The surrounding walls were covered with shiny silver frost, and the ceiling was a starry night sky. Snow flakes falling from the heights, and disappeared before they reached the top of their heads.

Hundreds of flower fairies are flying high in the sky, sprinkling a handful of colored scraps of paper.

Felix stood at the door and glanced around. The four college tables were gone, replaced by hundreds of small tables lit with lanterns, each with a dozen students sitting.

In the front of the auditorium, there is a long rostrum with the referees sitting on the rostrum. Two faculty tables are symmetrically placed on both sides of the rostrum for the professors from Hogwarts and other guests from afar to sit.

In front of the rostrum and the faculty desk, there are two large round tables belonging to the warriors.

Bagman and Percy each walked side by side to the podium. Felix came to a staff desk and sat between Snape and Professor McGonagall. Snape was still wearing his black robe. Professor McGonagall is wearing a red tartan robe, and the brim of his hat is decorated with a wreath of thistles.

"Minerva, what a rare dress." Felix quipped, "Severus is the same..."

Snape stared at Felix, watched him look at a small menu on the table with interest, and said slowly: "I don’t remember you learned to dance in school. Maybe you can follow I will tour the castle together?"

"Oh, don't be so disappointed." Professor McGonagall said.

Felix turned the menu to the back, staring at the names of the desserts in the upper row, "No problem, but I'm going to try this first." He pointed to a line of fine print.

"Opela?" Snape glanced at it and commented, "It's too sweet and greasy."

"The name is very good." Felix said with a smile.

After staying for a few minutes, Professor McGonagall got up and left. "I'm going to organize the warriors to enter the arena." She put the peaked hat on her head and said, striding towards a corner of the auditorium.

In a clearing near the gate of the auditorium, the warriors stood with their dancing partners. Professor McGonagall was preaching to them about the precautions for entering the venue: "Wait a while, when the auditorium is almost there, you will line up. The warrior is with the dancing partner. You have to go through the entire auditorium from the left aisle, and finally take a turn and sit on the big round table on the right side of the podium first, understand?"

At this time, Harry and Ron rushed in from the auditorium. Ron finally changed into his new robes in the bathroom, and they hurried to the direction of the podium.

"Here! Potter, Weasley." Professor McGonagall shouted.

Harry and Ron froze in place, turning their heads stubbornly, looking at the stern-faced Professor McGonagall and the warriors who got together. They also looked at them together, the burly warrior of Vagado, Avery Fendybee. Krum next to him was a lot taller, and Nona Lebert, who was also tall, stood on the other side like a human.

Harry and Ron walked back, passing by Draco Malfoy, Draco shouted: "Potter, Weasley, did you practice your dance steps and forget the time?"

His dancing partner Pansy Parkinson made a roaring "tsk" sound.

Harry glared at them. Draco Malfoy was wearing a black velvet high-necked robe, alive like a rural parish priest, and Harry secretly despised his aesthetics. The two walked to the end of the Warriors team, and the Pettil sisters hugged their shoulders and looked at Harry and Ron dissatisfied.

Professor McGonagall strode over and said quickly, "Line up, you two! No, it's not for you to stand together," she looked at Harry and Ron with a headache: "It's standing side by side with your dancing partner. , My goodness, you guys don't understand what the partner means, do you?"

She stepped forward and separated Harry and Ron one after another, then she looked at Sister Pettil with a hesitant expression. She couldn't tell which was which for a while, and simply ordered: "Standing next to your dancing partners, girls. You need a little understanding... Frankly speaking, it's a bit too late to say that now."

Professor McGonagall soon went to the front row of the team again. They could barely hear Professor McGonagall’s faint voice: "This... Mr. Avery Fendi, please stand in the team. You are too close to Mr. Krum. Yes. Mr. Krum, where is your partner?"

"She's still on her way," Krum said in a low voice.

Professor McGonagall looked unhappy, she confirmed: "Are you sure she won't miss time? I can temporarily find a replacement if necessary..."

"No need, thank you." Krum said grimly.

Harry and Ron looked at their heads at the end of the team, and Ron said incredulously, "I can't believe that Krum has no partners! He's a big star, which girl will break the appointment? Oh, oops, Harry, move on. Point me..."

He bent his knees slightly and hid behind Harry, because Fleur Delacour looked behind. She was wearing a silver-gray satin robe and looked amazing. Next to her was a tall and handsome boy. Harry had a bit of an impression of him. He should be a seventh grader in Slytherin and the chairman of the boys' student council.

Ron straightened up when Furong turned his head.

"Actually, I can't blame you. She is really beautiful." Harry said fairly. When Fleur invited Cedric in the hall two days ago, Ron seemed to have been caught in an evil spirit. He went forward and invited Fleur to be his dance partner. The ground failed.

Ron has been avoiding her since then, and he hasn't gotten over yet.

At this moment, a beautiful girl in a flowing lavender blue robe walked into the auditorium and passed Harry and Ron. She came to Krum and spoke quickly, seeming to apologize for being late, but they were at the end of the line and it was difficult to accurately hear the sound at the beginning.

"Oh, sorry, Krum... I originally prepared a few hours in advance... but... I sniffed in return, I didn't expect...too surprised..."

"Sniff? You mean the kind of magical animal that digs holes in the soil for gold coins? It sent you a gift?" Krum's low voice was very recognizable, and it just reached Harry and Ron's ears.

"Valen doesn't make holes in the soil! Oh, Valen is its name... Yes, it did send me a gift... I think it might be because I gave it a Christmas gift first... Maybe Haipu The professor also helped choose..." the girl explained.

Harry and Ron looked at each other.

"It sounds familiar." Harry said uncertainly.

"She also mentioned Warren, saying that Warren had sent her a Christmas present. Is this possible?" Ron looked at Harry hesitantly.

"If I heard it right, it was the gift she sent first... Warren just returned a gift... Wait, I seem to know..." Harry's speech became slower and slower, and his eyes fell from the girl in the flowing robes. Moved to Ron.

The two looked at each other for two seconds, and said in unison, "Hermione?" They couldn't believe this guess. They had no idea that the beautiful girl ten feet away would be their most familiar person.

Harry stared at the girl's back, she didn't look like Hermione at all. But if it is true, she must have done some hands and feet to her hair. They are no longer messy, but smooth and shiny, and they are still in an elegant bun.

At this time, Professor McGonagall walked to the front row of the team and said to all the warriors standing at the door: "Please be prepared for the warriors. The lady is holding the man's arms and entering the arena as I said before."

The team started to move forward. Harry and Ron wanted to confirm whether Krum’s dancing partner was Hermione, but they felt that their arms were being pulled at the same time. They turned their heads and looked at their dancing partners—

The two sisters Pettil embraced their arms with big smiles on their faces. Parvati vigorously fiddled with the gold bracelet on his wrist, and the other hand lifted the pink skirt, whispering, "It's our turn." Then he dragged Harry forward.

The warriors walked into the auditorium in two rows, crossing the gap between the small tables. The people in the auditorium clapped enthusiastically, Fred and George whistled loudly, and Harry's nervous mood calmed slightly. They walked a small half circle around the auditorium and filled the two big tables in front of the podium in order.

Their seats are very characteristic, with a man and a woman sitting apart, everyone dressed up, and Harry found that many familiar faces were a little more handsome and beautiful than usual.

Especially Hermione.

Harry finally decided on Krum’s dance partner. Although he could only see the profile, he was too familiar with Hermione, but when she removed the big books that she had carried with her in the past. , Her temperament completely changed, so that he did not recognize it for a while.

At this moment, Hermione also noticed their gazes, tilted her head, and waved at the two of them across a table. Harry couldn't help but laugh. Hermione's iconic big teeth were so conspicuous that he couldn't think of it. other people.

Hermione had complained to them before. The parents who were dentists were very resistant to linking the words shrinking and magic, and she never found a chance to get Madam Pomfrey to agree to repair her teeth.

...

The Warriors were the last to enter the stadium-when they were seated, the dinner would naturally begin. Harry stared at the empty golden plate in a daze. He looked around, only to see Dumbledore taking a close look at his menu, then facing his plate, he said very clearly: "Pork chop!"

The pork chop appeared immediately.

The students suddenly realized that they picked up a small menu to choose their favorite food.

Not far from Harry and them, Roger Davis was sandwiched between Collins and Fleur, with a dilemma. Fleur was facing him and the Slytherin boy student council president criticizing Hogwarts' decorations.

"It's nothing," she said contemptuously, looking at the starlit walls around the auditorium: "In Boothbaton Castle, our auditorium is full of ice sculptures at Christmas. Of course, they won't melt... The food is also superb. We also have the Mountain Fairy Choir. When we eat, they sing a serenade for us..."

The boy student union chairperson and Roger Davis next to her were getting more and more intoxicated. Harry guessed that they didn’t even listen to what Fleur was saying. When Davis stroked his hair with a fork, Collins snorted heavily.

He tried to round off the field, and said, "I think the two schools have different beauty. There are big squids in the Black Lake of Hogwarts. In the summer, you can swim in it and you can pretend to be drowning. Come to save you; and Booth Barton, I mean...Although I haven't been there, just listen to Furong's description to know how wonderful it is."

As a result, he offended the two girls at once. Collins and Fleur turned their heads away, which made Davis a little embarrassed.

Collins moved the chair out, leaned over from the next table, and asked Ron who was closest to her in a low voice: "Have you solved the secret of the golden egg?"

"What?" Ron asked dullly. He was staring at Krum and Hermione—they seemed to be clear of their misunderstanding, and they had a good conversation so far.

When he regained his senses, he saw Collins staring at him fiercely. His body was cold, and his mind desperately recalled the question: "Uh, not yet, but soon, it may be in these days."

Collins showed suspicious eyes, and she quickly said to Ron, "...if...try the water..."

"What are you talking about?" Ron didn't hear him, and he asked quickly, but then Dumbledore stood up with a goblet, and Collins moved his chair back.

"What did she say, did you hear?" Ron asked his titular partner.

Padma rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "I don't know."

"Ding!"

The crisp sound of the fork hitting the glass penetrated the noisy auditorium and fell precisely in everyone's ears. Everyone calmed down, and they all looked at Dumbledore on the podium.

"Students, please stand up. I need to move your tables away to make room for the dance floor." He said with a smile.

Then he waved his magic wand and all the tables flew to the wall, leaving a clear space in the middle. The students were standing with their dancing partners, and Harry noticed that Parvati’s arm was looping around his arm again, and he tried to win it twice without a trace.

Then Dumbledore cast a spell on the right side of the auditorium against the wall to create a long and narrow stage, on which a set of drums, several guitars, a lute, a cello and several organs were placed.

The lights around the auditorium were completely dimmed, and only the dance floor in the center was brightly lit.

"Students, professors, and foreign guests-enjoy the wonderful music!" Dumbledore opened his arms and said happily. At this time, the weird sisters rushed onto the stage together, and the audience burst into thunderous enthusiasm applause.

Dumbledore's left hand was behind him, and his right hand extended an invitation to Mrs. Maxim. The two slid onto the dance floor and danced to the soft and soothing music.

Felix was very fortunate that the seat he was sitting on was close to the steps and not within the range of being moved. He sat steadily on the chair, watching with interest the weird sister group in weird clothes picking up the instrument, and then flipping the menu to the end. One page.

"Opela," he pronounced clearly.

In the next second, a delicate and attractive chocolate and coffee frosting cake was placed in front of him. He raised his fork and immediately noticed a stern look.

"Do you know what to do at this time?" Professor McGonagall said, pursing his lips.

Felix froze for a moment and looked around, "Oh..." He stood up and leaned slightly, and asked politely, "Can I have the honor to dance with you, ma'am?"

"Of course." Professor McGonagall smiled and stretched out his hand. "Throw away the fork in your hand, Felix." She whispered.

The two walked towards the dance floor.

At this moment, Felix’s thoughts were spinning at a high speed, and everything in the auditorium turned into slow motion—he could see Dumbledore holding Mrs. Maxim’s hand, and the tip of his peaked hat had just touched her chin; crazy eyes Hammoody dragged Professor Sinista, seeing Professor Sinista’s expression resembling a dark wizard who was unfortunately arrested, and seeing Ludo Bagman struggling to bend his stomach to invite Professor Sprout...

He used the thinking acceleration magic to the extreme.

What happened in the auditorium came to his mind. Basic postures, dance steps, hand-in-hand movements, matching beats... After he walked the dozen or so steps from the faculty's bench to the dance floor, he had changed from a layman to a rookie on the dance floor.

"Waltz, Minerva?" Felix asked, flicking off a flower fairy flying from the ceiling, and the hapless little guy stumbled onto Harry's shoulder with a stiff expression.

"Of course." Professor McGonagall said.

The two danced gracefully, and Felix continued to absorb the essence of the dance moves of everyone present while moving his steps. He unexpectedly discovered that Dumbledore was the best at dancing.

Sure enough, getting older was the advantage, and Felix was thinking about this weird idea.

A few minutes later, when the dance was over, Professor McGonagall smiled and said, "So you can dance and dance so well. I thought you were new to this."

Felix wiped a drop of sweat from his forehead without a trace. "I haven't practiced it much before." He looked in the direction of Snape, who was standing on the edge of the field, and his black robe had disappeared.

The weird sister group in the corner played another cheerful dance song. "Continue?" He asked politely, and Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Hagrid swallowing his Opela cake in one bite and walking towards Mrs. Maxim who was separated from Dumbledore.

Professor McGonagall smiled at the corner of his eyes: "It seems that you are really unfamiliar with these things. You can't spend the entire prom time on one person. The good girls are waiting."

"what?"

Professor McGonagall stepped back two steps. At this moment, a beautiful girl suddenly appeared. "Professor Haipu?" Bessni blinked and looked at him expectantly, so Felix handed it out and put out an invitation. Gesture, Besini readily agreed.

The style of dance music was completely changed. Felix had to speed up his mind and try his best to capture other people's movements. After a few seconds, he skillfully took Bessni around the dance floor in circles, drawing a long, Beautiful trajectory.

At the end of the song, Besini's face was red.

She stood on tiptoe gently and whispered: "You jumped really well, besides...thank you for saving me." The corner of her mouth touched Felix's cheek lightly.

Besni left in a hurry.

He raised his head and found Furong standing in front of him, "Are you good at this song?" Furong asked mischievously. At this time, the performance of the ancient sister group became a more lively and jumping polka.

Felix: "...Of course."

After exchanging seven or eight dance partners, Felix found that the person in front of him had changed to Hermione.

"Oh, Professor, I saw it all by the side, you danced really well."

"Thank you, more than one person said that."

Felix said that he silently counted down the new songs of the weird sister group. When the music sounded, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally took turns, and finally didn't need to think faster.

He walks and turns around on the dance floor with ease, with a graceful demeanor.

On the edge of the dance floor, Seamus and Dean were sitting at the table, eating desserts on their own. Seamus stared and said, "I didn't expect Professor Haipu to be good at so many kinds of dance... the time he stayed on the court. It should be the longest, right?"

"Yeah, how did he do it?" Dean was also surprised.

"Who is the girl who dances with him? Boothbatten or Durmstrang's student?" Seamus asked, squinting.

"What are your eyes, she's Hermione!" Dean said loudly.

Seamus stared at Dean, and Dean pointed to the dance floor: "Look at her big fangs, it's so obvious..."

The center of the dance floor.

Hermione bit her lip and asked in a low voice, "Did you know that Warren gave me a Christmas present?"

"I know." Felix said.

"It's your idea?" Hermione asked sharply.

"Of course not," Felix didn't quite understand what she meant, and explained: "I was opening gifts during the day and writing back letters. It was almost evening when I found out that you even prepared gifts for Warren. It felt very Happy, no one thought of giving it a gift except me, so it sent a gift back..."

"But the gift is too precious!" Hermione said.

"Precious?" Felix laughed, "No, Granger, it's just a souvenir. I have studied it, and there is no possibility of fixing it."

"Really..." Hermione lowered her head and thought.

At this moment, the ring on Felix's left hand buzzed and trembled, and he frowned.

"What's the matter, Professor?" Hermione asked carefully.

"It should be someone who wants to contact me." Felix said calmly. At this time, at the end of the tune, Felix led the completion of the final set action and left with Hermione.

Others walked over, the expressions on their faces eager to try. "Sorry." Felix declined.

He nodded to Hermione and hurriedly left, holding a copper nut between his fingers, which was paired with the fever nut he gave to Dobby~www.novelhall.com~ whenever Dobby plans to report to work At that time, magic will be injected into it, and he will be notified in advance.

But this time, the coin was so hot that he wondered if it was about to melt.

Felix quickly walked out of the auditorium and came to the courtyard. With a soft sound, Dobby's figure suddenly appeared. He looked very flustered, and his big eyes were full of fear.

The most important thing is that he is carrying a fainted house elf on his back.

After confirming that Dobby was okay, Felix felt a little relieved. He squatted down and looked at the house elf brought by Dobby. From his eyes, this should be a female house elf.

"What's the matter, Dobby?" he asked softly.

"Dobby and Dobby don’t know! Dobby just wants to invite friends for Christmas. Dobby knows that Shining has a master, so she deliberately chose a very late time. They should all be asleep. Dobby knows her master. I'm not very well..."
