The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts - Vol 4 Chapter 152
Days of Drawing at Hogwarts Chapter 152 Do you understand what it means to kiss under the mistletoe?
The reason why Furong is half right is because she really attracted the attention of the audience when she first appeared.
Furong’s clothes fluttered with her steps, bringing with it a faint scent. The fair skin that was inadvertently revealed by raising his hands even more firmly caught the eyes of the boys. As for the girls, they cast envious glances at her silver hair: does such soft, shiny hair really exist? It’s not magic!
Of course, Furong knew that she had become the focus of the audience. She didn’t feel any discomfort with those fiery or jealous eyes – she was used to being the center of attention. On the contrary, she enjoyed the feeling very much.
This is what it looks like! Fleur felt content, even without such a good male companion as Tom, she was still the most dazzling girl at the dance by her own charm.
That little boy? Just let him play house with his little girlfriend!
After being ruthlessly rejected by Tom, Fleur wanted to invite Cedric, but Cedric also had a goal. In the end, she had to settle for the next best thing and invited Roger Davis of Ravenclaw. He retired as Captain Ridge, and Tom took over as captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team after his retirement.
It’s just that this captain is a little embarrassed: since he became the captain, he has not led the team to participate in a game, not a single game!
As for another warrior, Krum, Fleur never considered inviting this rude fellow from beginning to end. She felt like standing with him would make herself feel like a cheap cheerleader.
After seeing Krum’s girlfriend Luna, she strengthened her belief.
Krum, what kind of aesthetic is this? ! If I became his dance partner, wouldn’t it mean that… Furong shuddered as she thought about it.
Roger could hardly believe that he could invite Fleur to be his dance partner, but the fragrance of the beautiful woman around him reminded him that it was all true. He was so happy that he couldn’t take his eyes off Furong at all. At this time, seeing Furong shivering, he thought she was frozen by the cold wind of the winter night.
So he asked diligently, “Is it cold? If it’s cold, you can wear my robe.”
Furong wanted to roll her eyes, but considering her own image, she could only hold back. She said seriously: “No, I’m not cold.”
“Really? You’re welcome—”
“Listen to me, thank you, but it’s really unnecessary.” Furong felt that the smile on her face must be stiff. She thought that Roger must have lost his mind, why did she wear his robe? Then what is he wearing, and such ugly clothes, he will not wear it if he kills himself.
After most of the people came to the foyer, Professor McGonagall also appeared, wearing a red tartan gown with an ugly wreath of thistles around the brim of her hat.
“Please come here, the warriors!” Professor McGonagall planned to let the students enter the auditorium first, and let the warriors enter after the ordinary students were seated.
This time, the Christmas dance was held in the auditorium, but the venue was not limited to the auditorium. A lawn in front of the castle was also decorated. Given that it’s already December, the lawn has been turned into a grotto, and it’s lit up with fairy lights — meaning there are hundreds of living fairies inside. They sit in the rose bushes conjured by magic, or flap their wings on the statues of Santa Claus and his reindeer. This gives the cave a strong sense of fantasy.
Just as the Warriors and their dance partners stood beside Professor McGonagall, there was a commotion in the hallway where Ben had been quieted by Professor McGonagall’s presence.
The source of the commotion was the marble staircase at the entrance to the foyer – here came Hermione and Tom.
The two came a little late, and they actually gave people the illusion of the finale. Their appearance shocked everyone present.
The girl is dressed in a white gauze robe, like a pure forest fairy, and the boy is dressed in a dark blue wizard’s robe, like a sage who came out of a magic book.
The moment they saw the two, a word popped up in many people’s minds: a talented man and a woman.
After being critically attacked by the beauty of the two, everyone gradually realized that the beautiful and outrageous girl was actually Hermione!
Hermione was not known for her looks in the past. Although she was very beautiful in Tom’s eyes, her classmates paid more attention to her talents and her high-quality homework. When it comes to the school beauties of Hogwarts, some people will say Cho Zhang, and some people will nominate Parvati, Padma, and even Ginny. No one has ever thought that Hermione is the school belle.
If someone said before that Hermione was a beauty of the same level as Fleur, it would definitely be taken as a mockery.
But now, here, if someone asked the little wizards at Hogwarts who was the most beautiful girl at Hogwarts, they would definitely say Hermione’s name in unison.
Seeing Tom and Hermione walking down the stairs hand in hand, Cedric showed a look of envy, while Krum looked at Hermione in awe. As for Fleur, her face was about to twist. .
She’s going crazy! Why can these two people be so good-looking, she is obviously a mixed-race Veela!
Many people looked at Hermione with suspicious eyes, and they felt a little weird at this time. But Tom and Hermione ignored the glances and walked into the auditorium hand in hand.
The auditorium also changed a lot. Under the starry night sky, there were hundreds of small tables lit with lanterns. The table is big or small, the big one can seat more than ten people, and the small one can only seat two people together. As for the glittering silver frosts on the walls, mistletoe twigs hanging from the ceiling and ivy wreaths, there are many more.
“Dumbledore really bothered.” Hermione sighed looking at the decorations in the auditorium that took a lot of effort to make.
Tom just smiled, he felt that there was a high probability that Dumbledore did not design this place.
Since the lantern is the only source of light in the auditorium, the hall looks a little dim, but this is just right for a couple like Tom and Hermione. They sat down at a small table for two in the corner, and a sprig of mistletoe fell right between them.
“Hermione, do you understand what a kiss under the mistletoe means?” Tom fiddled with the mistletoe on top of his head and looked at Hermione with a half-smile.
Hermione’s face turned red all of a sudden, and she nodded. After a few seconds, the shyness on her face spread from her cheeks to the base of her ears, and she murmured, “But… please don’t be in the auditorium…”
In the Christmas customs, there is such a wonderful legend: if two people stand under the mistletoe plant, hug and kiss, they will be happy.
Of course, there is also a somewhat domineering rumor—women under mistletoe have to accept kisses from men, and if they refuse, it will bring them bad luck.
Of the two statements, Tom likes the former. The latter always made him feel like a big villain who bullied men and women.
After being seated, the two quietly waited for the party to start. Due to their low profile, everyone gradually turned their attention to tonight’s dance.
After all the students were seated, the warriors lined up to enter the auditorium. They held hands with each other and walked towards the guest seat under the watchful eyes of everyone. The judges of the Triwizard Tournament sat on the seat. Karkaroff was still absent, but no one cared.
Tom noticed that Fleur seemed a little absent-minded when she entered the venue. Hermione’s look just astounded her, making it difficult for her to concentrate on the current dance.
With warm applause, the dance began.
Before the dance starts, everyone can eat something to fill their stomachs. After Dumbledore’s demonstration, everyone discovered that today’s Hogwarts serving mode has undergone tremendous changes. In the past, a large pile of food appeared on the plate out of thin air and was picked up by the students. Now it is ordered according to the menu, and the ordered dishes will automatically appear on the plate.
Tom knew just by listening to the loud clicks around him how much pressure this would put on the house-elves in the kitchen. This complicated way of ordering means more labor, just like transforming a cafeteria into a regular restaurant.
But the house-elves never let the wizards down. They delivered the dishes ordered by the wizards to the right table with precision, to every plate.
Tom glanced at Hermione, “Anything you want to eat?”
“Um…” Hermione tilted her head, “Let’s just eat it? How about pizza?”
Eating pizza on Christmas Eve is undoubtedly a bit perfunctory, but Tom and Hermione didn’t think anything was wrong.
“The main course is beef and grilled mushroom pizza. As a snack, I choose vanilla anchovies shrimp, fried yuzu, and dessert tiramisu. What else do you want?”
Hermione added a chicken and mushroom soup, and ordered two cups of lemon tea, and all of a sudden, the table was filled with delicious food.
Before the dance started, Tom and Hermione had a good meal and had a chat.
“There doesn’t seem to be any records of Durmstrang’s castle. We don’t even know how many floors it has–do you think it could be the ship?” Hermione picked up an anchovy shrimp with a fork and chatted. The most famous magic school in the world.
“Just ask one of Durmstrang’s students. I feel like Karkaroff didn’t give them a gag order – at least he can’t control that much.” Tom picked up a tooth of pizza and handed it to Hermione first. mouth, motioning her to taste it.
“Well…Thank you! It’s not necessarily, I mean there is that kind of magic that can make people completely unable to tell secrets…” Hermione took a bite of the pizza and said indifferently, “This pizza tastes good.”
“Of course.” Tom took back the pizza that Hermione had bitten off and ate it happily.
In front of the guest stage, Luna was telling Krum the story of the Crooked Snoring Beast, and Krum actually listened with great interest.
It was a complete surprise that Luna would be his dance partner.
That day, after Tom had a grand fireworks display, Krum instantly understood that he would never invite Hermione as a dance partner. The boy named Yodel was already one step ahead of him. For Tom, Krum didn’t have much jealousy, he just regretted that he didn’t know the girl Hermione earlier.
It is strange that such a good girl is not pursued by anyone. He had a hunch.
However, as a warrior, he always needs a dance partner. This is the rule. So he went into the castle, looking for the first girl he met as a dance partner. Habit drove him to the library, and halfway he met Luna who was looking for harassing horseflies.
Krum originally just wanted to find a façade, but he didn’t expect that what the girl said was quite interesting. It sounds very absurd at first, but when you think about it carefully, the logic can be self-consistent. So the two of them chatted more and more speculatively and spoke with great joy.
Fleur gradually emerged from the shadow brought by Hermione. She looked at the decorations of Hogwarts with contempt, and made it clear that they were far inferior to Beauxbatons’ Christmas decorations.
In view of Beauxbatons’ wealth and wealth, what Furong said is likely to be true, it is difficult to serve Krypton!
In the face of Furong’s step on one, Roger, of course… agreed. At this time, he has been completely grasped by Furong and played by her between her palms.
But after seeing the mistletoe overhead, Roger suddenly remembered the legend, and his heart beat fast.
She invited Furong for a ceremonial kiss, would she refuse?
“So is that mistletoe?” he said boldly, pointing to the ornament above his head.
Furong understood his intention in the blink of an eye. She scratched her hair and said, “Who knows? Maybe basil—or maybe mistletoe.”
Roger’s mood went up and down like a roller coaster.
It is obviously winter, but there is always a breath of spring in the auditorium. The teachers were no exception. Hagrid and Mrs. Maxim had a very happy chat. Mrs. Maxim often laughed because of Hagrid’s words. The opal decoration on her body was shining under the candlelight.
After everyone had almost eaten, Dumbledore stood up, moved the table to the corner of the wall, and vacated a large area. Then he turned into a stage and invited the long-awaited eccentric sister music group to the stage~www .mtlnovel.com~ The lanterns on the table were all extinguished at once, leaving only hundreds of candles lit on the edge of the stage, and the warriors offered their first dance of the night to a slow-paced tune.
“Please.” Tom bowed, stretched out a hand, and formally invited Hermione.
Hermione smiled and accepted, and the two floated down the dance floor together.
Hermione’s hands had never been so soft, and she had never been so beautiful. Tom was so fascinated, he felt that she was the only one left in the world.
Tom’s dancing skills were very poor, but fortunately Hermione understood it better, so she took the initiative to take the lead and manipulated Tom to go around the dance floor together.
The organ trembled and made the last note, and everyone stopped to applaud for the excellent performance of the Weird Sisters.
Tom let out a breath, and just as he was about to go back and sit down, a new, much faster tune was played.
“This tune is very good!” Hermione looked straight at Tom.
No one could refuse her, so Tom put his arms around Hermione and merged into the increasingly excited dance floor.
This time, the two got closer, almost touching each other.
