Hogwarts in a parallel world

Chapter 89 Christmas Dance ([-])

As Christmas approaches, a strange disease called insomnia begins to spread rapidly among students, with the most affected group being fourth grade students.

Although Elena has been very worried about her father, she still spends 1-2 hours every day practicing dance steps with Winters.

"Forcing a smile won't do you any good." Winters' feet were swollen again, but this time they were better. After all, it was not like before: both feet were swollen from being stepped on.

Elena smiled bitterly: "How did you see that I was forcing a smile?"

"Your vision is not so sharp anymore, I can feel it."

"Okay, you finally guessed it right for once. Now I both hope to get news about my father, but I am also afraid to get news about him." After Elena talked about her father, her face immediately turned into a sick one. grey.

"Mr. Kral once had a head-on confrontation with the mysterious man. You should believe that he can come back without any danger." Winters felt the same as Elena. Sometimes he even thought that no news was the best news.

"He had a head-on confrontation with the mysterious man, but as a result, he retreated from the first line to the second line. My mother said that after the confrontation of a few minutes, my father stayed in the hospital for three weeks," Elena said weakly.

"But your father survived, which is amazing," Winters comforted Elena.

"Come on, let's continue dancing - what if he stands in the auditorium on Christmas Day and says my dance dress is tasteless?" Elena smiled bitterly.

"Aurora said that my evening dress is a silhouette of the times. I don't know whether it's a compliment or a sarcasm."

"At the Christmas ball, you can't say that my dress is a reflection of the times." Elena looked at Winters seriously.

"What about classical temperament?" Winters said in a confused voice.

"What is classical temperament? Doesn't it mean old-fashioned?" Elena looked at Winters angrily.

"Um--"

"I understand, I admit to myself that I am an old hat again." Elena laughed angrily at Winters.

"Did I say that? - And it's already 5 p.m." Winters looked at Elena naughtily, and then pulled away.

"So? You still want to say classical beauty? Compared to your magic talent, your annoying talent is more outstanding - Hi, Mom" ​​Elena suddenly waved as she spoke.

"What? Mrs. Clara? Where-"

Suddenly, Winters was caught off guard, and he was pulled over by a magic spell.Then Elena pinched Winters’ right ear and said:

"I haven't finished what I just said. You are angry that my talent is much higher than your magic talent."

"Didn't you accept my apology? This was a sneak attack!" Winters wanted to open Elena's hand, but he found that Elena's hand seemed to be made of iron.

"Yes, everything you said is correct, so I want to know why the word "beautiful" is so difficult to say."

"I thought you didn't care. My friends all said that you are a powerful and talented witch with a body of steel?" Winters was thinking of ways to divert Elena's attention.

"Smart - don't try to divert my attention. What else did they say?"

"Saying that you are strong and making people feel scared is just to praise you - it hurts, it hurts~" Winters gritted his teeth in pain.

"It's scary - that's a compliment?"

"Then you don't make people feel friendly. Harry has never forgotten the feeling of looking into your eyes. He can see the purple light in your eyes from more than ten meters away from you - let go, okay It hurts~" Winters' right ear was already numb.

"You're pretty good at twisting things around - let me ask you, what should you say when other people see me at the Christmas ball?"

"I said you were dazzling - let it go" Winters admitted defeat.

"That's pretty much it," Elena smiled proudly.

"Merlin's beard - you beat away the Lord of Souls, why do you care what other people think of you? Even if there is nothing wrong with you wearing sportswear to the ball" Winters waved his wand and a painkilling ointment came out of his bag. flew out.

Elena's face changed: "If I wanted to wear sportswear to the dance, I would definitely do that, but I don't want to, and I won't do that."

"But it's not impossible for you to wear sportswear. It makes you look energetic, and -" Winter paused and continued: "-and you also look very good in sportswear... um..." Winter Si suddenly felt embarrassed and continued.

"Go on, don't hesitate." Elena looked at Winters.

Winters' right ear suddenly turned red and white. He took a deep breath and said, "You look beautiful in your sportswear, too."

The feeling in my right ear gradually recovered under the action of the ointment, but the intense pain came again.

"Are you telling the truth?" Elena looked at Winters strangely.

"What are you talking about? If you don't believe it, you can ask my sister."

"Sorry, I didn't say you were lying... It's just what you said just now that surprised me." Elena seemed a little embarrassed.

"Humility is a virtue, but confidence is also important," Winters said, rubbing his ears.

"Let's go, I'm hungry." Elena seemed to be in a sleepwalking state when she spoke.

"Are you okay?" Winters thought that the terrible disease in Elena had broken out again.He nervously raised his wand.

"No, I'm really just hungry - I swear" Elena smiled and looked at Winters.

On the morning of December 12th, it seemed that all the fourth grade students had set their alarm clocks for the same time.

"It seems you are the same, too excited." Harry's pale face looked like a ghost under the blue-white light of his wand.

"I now suspect that I didn't sleep last night." Winters' eyes felt like lead, but he just couldn't fall asleep. He looked at his watch and it was just 6 o'clock.

"It's useless to talk about it now. Lavender wants to see how my evening gown looks like - where is my evening gown?" Ron had already woken up and started looking for his evening gown. At this time, the Wind Rider brought Letters flew in.

"Mr. and Mrs. Eisen and Lydia will be here at 6 o'clock tonight at the latest - sorry guys, I have to go to the auditorium quickly. I still have 12 hours to prepare. Mary hates looking sloppy, especially at this time." Winters cheered up, got dressed and ran out immediately.

"Say hello to Mr. and Mrs. Eisen for me," Harry called.

Winters arrived at the auditorium and saw Elena sitting in the seat of Slytherin House. Her bright purple eyes seemed to be filled with bloodshot eyes.She saw Winters just smiled tiredly and reluctantly.

Aurora was drinking coffee. She was also exhausted, but her mental state was completely different from Elena.

"Have fun all night?" Winters looked at Aurora.

Aurora shook her head and said: "No, after Hermione returned to the dormitory yesterday, she said that Slyer and Karai were desperate. They couldn't create a spiritual guardian at all. The two of them could already create a physical guardian. But I just don’t know how to protect my soul.”

Winters: "Hermione's method doesn't work either?"

Aurora shook her head and said: "No, they even established an inner connection with the physical guardian angel they created, but they just couldn't change the spiritual guardian. By the way, I received a letter this morning, from my parents and Liddy. Arduino is coming. When will the communications room at Hogwarts be built - Hi, Slyer."

Slyer seemed to have lost his soul and didn't notice Aurora greeting him. He seemed to be getting shorter all the time.Elsa followed Slyer, and she looked at Slyer worriedly.

Elsa: "He will destroy himself if this continues"

"Where's Karai, I didn't see him." Winters didn't dare to think about what Karai might face.

"He-oh, my God" Elsa breathed softly.

Winters followed Elsa's gaze and couldn't believe that this skinny man with empty eyes was Karai.

Hermione stood behind Karai with a pale face. She wanted to comfort Karai, but she couldn't say a word.

"I...I can't stand it anymore, I'm going to the library." Winters felt like his whole body was twisted into a ball. He didn't have the courage to look at Slyer and Karai now.

"Then go ahead" Aurora nodded to Winters.

More of an escape than a solution to a problem, Winters often found himself reading a page for several 10 minutes.

"Your attitude towards Slyer and Karai is the greatest comfort to them both." An ethereal voice said.

"Luna... of course... you are right," Winters said uneasily.

"Is your dance partner Elena? She is a very contradictory person. She is very kind, but she pursues powerful power." Luna fiddled with the heavy tome: "Soul"

"I know, and it's a bit domineering."

"There may be more than that, but I'm not familiar with her." Luna took the wand away from her ear, then waved it at the tome and shouted at the same time:

"Page 136"

"Are you still perfecting your mother's experiment?" Winters looked at dozens and dozens of printed papers filled with various symbols.

"Yes - ah, here comes Krum" Luna looked past Winters.

"Hello Winters, are you helping Luna?" Krum asked without a smile.

"No...no, I just want to check some information," Winters said immediately

"I think today is not the time to work hard, why don't you go out and relax - Luna, the lake is frozen, do you want to go out and relax?" Krum asked softly.

"Of course" Luna said happily.Luna wished Winters a good time before leaving, and she left with Krum.

Winters looked at the empty library and said to himself: "Of course, I will have fun - in theory."

At 5 o'clock in the evening, Hogwarts was already bustling with people, and many parents of students had arrived. The Wesleys couldn't stop laughing when they saw Ron and Ginny's dance partners.

Neville looked at the people around him with a red face. In order not to embarrass his friends, Winters did not ask why.

Mr. and Mrs. Eisen and Lydia arrived at Hogwarts at 5:30 pm.The Eisens were both in formal attire.

And Lydia wore a light yellow dress, with silk gloves and pure white sleeves.Her hair changed from long, straight hair to a slightly curly look.

Lydia wears a small crystal jasmine-style hairpin on her head, which shines under the enchanted ceiling of Hogwarts.

Many boys around him looked at Lydia involuntarily, and Malfoy and Delk even looked at each other.

Aurora and Lydia's outfits are basically the same.There was nothing different except that she was wearing a light blue dress and not wearing a hairpin.Les had already put on a tuxedo, and he stood next to Aurora with a pale face.

"I heard that Winters' dance partner is your sister." Mrs. Eisen nodded to Les.

"Yes" Les looked very nervous.

"Don't be so embarrassed. It's already 6 o'clock now. You see, Winters is going to be the first to dance today, and he's not even nervous." Mary comforted Les.

But Winters clearly felt that he looked very ugly due to nervousness.

"Of course, this is not a difficult task - I mean compared to challenging the Poison Flame Dragon," Winters said pretending to be calm.

"Then go quickly, you are not even afraid of the Poison Flame Dragon. There is no need to be too nervous about this matter" Jack encouraged Winters.

Winters staggered back to the dormitory, where he was alone.He sat on his bed and stared blankly for a while, then took out the evening gown Jack had worn from his suitcase.He looked at himself in the mirror and saw that the clothes fit him perfectly.

After making sure the clothes fit him, Winters immediately took a shower, then put on Jack's tux and headed to the auditorium.The auditorium has been completely transformed into a dance floor.

He saw Aurora sitting next to Les in the auditorium, comforting him, Harry seemed to be playing Sudoku with Ginny, and Ron was talking to Lavender with a red face.Luna was wearing a pure white dress. She was happily chatting with Klum, while Klum was wearing a red uniform with a cotton cape on his shoulders.

What surprised him was that standing next to Neville was Marissa. She was wearing a gold and red dress and looked very dazzling.But I just didn’t see Elena.

"Is Elena not here?" Hermione was wearing a light pink dress, her hair was no longer messy, and Winters noticed that Malfoy seemed to be rusty.

"No, even if she doesn't come - why are you kicking me?" Winters glared at Hermione, but he soon understood what Hermione meant.He followed Hermione's gaze and turned around to see Elena standing not far from him.

Elena wore a platinum gold dress.She didn't wear any other decorations except a golden hairpin that represented a world snake on her head, but strangely, she seemed to be glowing, or at least her hair was glowing.

"Merlin's beard," Winters marveled.

"Don't be stunned." Harry walked over.

Winters plucked up the courage to walk up to Elena and made an invitation gesture.Elena smiled and put her hand on Winters's.

When the time on the clock in the auditorium was approaching 8 o'clock, Dumbledore shouted in an amplified voice:

"Let's get together"

Then came the voice of Professor McGonagall: "Warriors please enter."

Then beautiful music sounded and the dance began.

Winters felt his ears and face were heating up, and his movements became extremely stiff. He remembered only one thing, not to step on Elena.

Elena's bright purple eyes looked at Winters, and she said softly:

"You dance much better than I thought."

After the music ended, Winters also completed the task of dancing as a warrior. He found a chair to sit down exhausted. Just when he was about to order a steak, he saw the figure of Lisa Krall. She seemed very frightened.

Winters said to Elena, "Is there something going on with your mother? It may be about your father. I'll hold a seat for you."

Elena was stunned for a moment, and then left her seat with a fearful expression. After a while, she waved to Winters.

After Winters walked over, he saw that Lisa Krall's face was full of fear, the Eisens had sad faces, and Elena's eyes were filled with tears.Not long after, Elena's brothers came over.

"Is there any news about Mr. Kral?" Winters asked timidly.

"Not yet. However, the rescue order from the Auror Command has been issued, and the rescue operation will last up to 7 days. Moreover, considering that Locke is performing a high-risk mission this time, in order to avoid greater losses, the entire rescue operation may only be Lasts for 3 days." When Mrs. Klar spoke, she looked at her children with a pale face.

Elena looked at Winters and said, "No matter what the outcome is, I will thank you."
