HP: What if a time traveler went to Hogwarts?

As soon as December entered, the spirit of Christmas spread to everyone, but Shimaier found that they were excited about another thing. People who have a good relationship with Professor Horn always tell others that Professor Slughorn will hold a Yule Ball at Hogwarts this Christmas, which seems to be spread among students like an urban legend.

"Are we really going to have a Yule Ball?" Shimare and Tom were in the Room of Requirement. They always used this place as their secret space when Tom was not practicing spells, because it seemed that no one except them knew about this. place.

Shimeier believed that as Professor Horn's favorite student, Tom's information should be first-rate and accurate.

"Well" Tom casually took something and looked at it. The things in the Room of Requirement were not all discarded things. There were also many interesting things. "He has been planning for a long time. He is really good at making friends."

"So, only those who are invited by him will go?" Shimael felt sad, because with her potion grades and identity, it was absolutely impossible to receive an invitation from Professor Slughorn. "What about this Christmas?" I can’t live with you again.” Tom went to Avery’s house last year, and they didn’t spend Christmas together.

"I will invite you, Shimaier." Tom was obviously describing something that was very natural, but it aroused quite a storm in Shimaier's heart.

"Well, you really should invite me. I can't think of anyone else you can invite besides me, unless you want to attend the dance alone." Shimaier happily jumped to Tom's side. She rarely does it now. It was quite awkward to say such outrageous things to Tom. I accidentally pulled off a blanket next to me.

The dust that was raised made Shimael couldn't help but cough. When the dust cleared, he discovered that there was a very majestic and huge mirror in front of him, with the words "Eris Stella Ehru Aitwu" engraved on the top. Bi Kafulu Ayiteon Voorhees”.

"Mirror of Erised" After Shimael realized what the mirror was, he immediately approached Tom and covered his eyes. "Don't look."

"I know the Mirror of Erised," Tom said, feeling the warmth of Shimael's palm. "The Mirror of Erised can make people see the most urgent and strongest desires deep in their hearts."

"I don't want you to sink into the Mirror of Erised, Tom." Shimael waved his fingers to the blanket on the ground. After the blanket covered the mirror that almost reached the ceiling, he lowered the blanket covering Tom's eyes. hand.

"It's better to be charmed by me than by the Mirror of Erised." Shimaier held Tom's face inexplicably and said, even though she was on her toes.

"I know what I want, Shimael." Tom also lowered his eyes at Shimael. "I will not indulge in it. The Mirror of Erised will see my inner desire, but I will turn it into Reality."

"Okay." Shimaier let go of Tom and clenched his fist to savor the touch of his palm. "Since you invited me to the Christmas dance, I have to think carefully about what I will wear that day."

"You will receive a Christmas present," said Tom. "You don't have to prepare. I said I won't let you down."

Shimaier was ecstatic when he heard this sentence, "Have you prepared something for me? What have you prepared? How do you know my size? Are you secretly paying attention to me?"

But no matter how Shimaier asked Tom, he always said "it's a secret." He just said, "I'll find out on Christmas Day."

During countless sleepless nights trying to figure out what clothes Tom would prepare for herself, Shimeier would grit his teeth with dark circles under his eyes and say, "Tom Riddle, I hate you!"

When there was still a week left before the Christmas vacation, the principal announced the Christmas dinner at dinner.

"Everyone, please be quiet," Principal Armando said as he knocked on the wall of the cup. He waited until the hall gradually became quiet before he continued to speak. "According to Professor Slughorn's proposal, we decided to hold a Christmas ball. Of course, all students participated voluntarily. You can also go home. The participating students can just go to the deans to fill out the school forms. Of course, the participating students have to start looking for your dance partners. After all, there is only one week."

The hall cheered instantly, and there was a feeling that expectations were finally fulfilled. Shimeier saw a satisfied smile on the face of Professor Slughorn in the teacher's seat. He even winked at Tom, and Tom responded in return. A polite smile. Dumbledore was also applauding, but it seemed that he was more focused on today's roasted lamb chops.

Every day that followed, Shimeier's ears were filled with discussions about the Christmas ball.

"So who did you invite?" Caroline asked Alphard during the Stealing Squad meeting. "There are only three days left, Alphard, and you haven't said who you want to invite yet."

They sat on the edge of the black lake and ate directly on the frozen lake.

"Who invited you?" Alphard said, putting down the chocolate sundae.

"Who said I have to wait for others to invite me?" Caroline said dissatisfiedly. "I can also invite others. For example, I can invite you, Alphard Black. I invite you to attend the Christmas ball with me. Are you willing?"

Alphard was cold for a moment, then lowered his head and continued to pick at the chocolate sundae in his bowl.

All this was seen by Shimaier, and she shook her head helplessly, "Alfad, stop pretending, I see the corners of your mouth are grinning to the back of your head."

"How can I not!" Alphard said with a red face. Caroline also laughed when she saw Alphard doing this. "Then I order you, coward."

"Okay." Alphard scratched his hair in embarrassment. "Since you invited me incorrectly, then I will come with you." As if these words were hot on the tongue, he immediately took a few mouthfuls of the sundae in his mouth after speaking. Rise.

Shimaier looked at them and shook his head, sighing that it was great to be young.

On the night before Christmas, the students who were going home were leaving one after another, but two-thirds of the people in Hogwarts were still left, and many people were still looking forward to such an event. Party.

"Avery and I invited Lucretia and Walburga," Lestrange said to Tom, while Shimeier listened and felt that these two pairs were a perfect match.

"Where are the Rozier brothers and sisters?" Tom rarely asked other people, Lestrange said, "Of course they are together, but Abby asked me if you have a dance partner. To be honest, I have to ask this question all day long. I was asked at least ten times, and I said I didn't know. I think you should have it, right?" His eyes drifted towards Shimaier with a vague look.

"Yes," said Tom, taking a sip of mushroom soup.

However, Shimaier's focus was on the dance between the Rozier brothers and sisters. She asked Ailas, who was sitting diagonally across from her, "Why don't you find a dance partner?"

"I don't want to," said Ailas, but the hand under the table gripped the chair tightly. Abby noticed and put another piece of smoked fish on Ailas's plate, "My brother has to accompany me, because No one invited me,” she said.

"You can also invite others, like Carlo"

Before Shimael could finish his words, Alphard stepped on Shimaier hard under the table.

"Carol? Carlo went home." Lestrange did not realize that Shimaier was talking about Caroline, but thought it was Askaro from the Slytherin Quidditch team.

"Ah, so that's it. I confused him with Wynton Yaxley." Shimaier said smoothly and continued to cut the roast chicken in front of him.

"Idiot, I've been here at Hogwarts for three years and even the seniors can't tell the difference," Avery said. "But Yaxli should be quite popular with girls. Why did he end up with Selwyn, two guys together?" It’s so weird to dance.”

"Maybe Selwyn can't invite a dance partner, so let Yaxli go with him. Anyway, that's what he said," Lestrange explained. Selwyn is the core figure in their small group, and he is a very vicious person, which is exactly what Tom likes in him, while Yaxli has a completely opposite personality to Selwyn.

"They naturally have their benefits together." Tom looked meaningfully at the senior class, where Selwyn was giving his pudding to Yaxli.

Avery and Lestrange looked at each other. They didn't understand what Tom meant. They just thought it would be beneficial to their "goal" and continued to talk about what they were going to wear.

After hearing them discuss this, Shimaier realized that he didn't have anything to wear to the prom. He only had a change of school uniforms and two white dresses that he returned to a Muggle orphanage in the summer. There was nothing to wear to the grand occasion. clothing.

Tom on the opposite side seemed to see Shimaier's distress. He put down the tableware and said to Shimaier, "Don't worry, I told you not to consider it. I also said I won't let you down."

Early on Christmas morning, Shimael found Tom under the huge Christmas tree in the Slytherin common room and wanted to give him a package.

"Why don't you just give it to me?" Shimaier muttered and returned to his room holding the box wrapped in black packaging.

With anticipation roaring in her heart, she opened the box and found a red cheongsam inside, which suited Shimaier's Asian face.

Shimaier never expected that Tom would give her a red dress. If it were clothes, she would think that Tom would give her a black dress, because the mysterious and dangerous black is his tone. So does Tom see herself in red?

Shimaier tried on the unexpected fit, and couldn't help but look in the mirror and look at the mirror. If Animagus could turn into a plant, she would be a narcissus.

The dance started at seven o'clock in the evening. She, Caroline, and Alphard hid in the observatory and secretly ate something to fill their bellies. Shimaier cast a warming spell on them, so even on a snowy Christmas day, they showed up at the observatory to eat. Even if they are wearing thin clothes, they will not feel cold.

Caroline is wearing a slim-fitting white dress. With her long blond hair and fair skin, she looks like an ancient Greek goddess.

"A perfect match," Shimaier said, looking at Alphard and Caroline in straight suits. Alphard scratched his head again, and the tips of his ears were flushed. "My mother didn't want the Black family to be embarrassed outside, so she sent a A reasonably well-fitting suit.”

"It doesn't matter if you don't send it. You can set off me better if you wear it." Caroline tried to walk around in high heels to make sure she wouldn't fall. "But Shimaier, you have really good taste. This dress suits you very well." ,When did you buy it?"

"I also think it suits me very well." Shimaier fiddled with his hair and looked at Caroline and winked. "How about it? Will you fall in love with me?"

"Already love——ah!" Caroline suddenly sprained, and Alphard picked her up directly.

"My ankle is sprained." Alphard looked at Caroline's red and swollen ankle and said, "I'll take her to the hospital wing and meet her in the lobby later." After that, Alphard hurriedly hugged Caroline and left the observatory.

Although Shimaier was also worried that Caroline wanted to follow him, she was not a fool, and she had no interest in the profession of light bulb.

When Shimael guessed that the dance was about to start, he locked the observatory again and slowly went downstairs.

The cheongsam outlines Shimaier's youthful curves. It is very long and reaches to her ankles. It has mysterious dark patterns made of silk threads, which shine brightly under the light.

On her feet are a pair of ten-centimeter high heels, paired with the big waves that were carefully rolled in the afternoon, showing off her style.

Shimaier took a deep breath and turned the last corner and walked down the stairs. Tom was already waiting at the door. There was no impatient waiting on his face. When Shimaier came down, his eyes were locked on her.

"Look at me, are you fascinated?" Shimaier joked, covering his mouth as he stood a few steps away from Tom. The candlelight on the wall was not as flickering as usual, and the warm light shone on them, making them even more excited. Seeing themselves clearly in each other's eyes.

Tom stretched out his hand, and Shimaier also put his hand on Tom's palm.

"Do I look good today?" Shimaier proudly flipped her hair to show off, "I like your gift very much. It looks very good and suits me very well."

"It looks good," Tom said. "It's not just the dress."

They entered the hall together. The opening dance had finished and people were having fun on the dance floor with their partners. The appearance of Shimaier and Tom immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Shimaier enjoys these looks, not only because of Tom, but also because of his beautiful self. "They should be grateful that they can see such a perfect me today. This should be their best Christmas."

"This is my second best Christmas," Tom tilted his head and looked at Shimeier and said, Shimeier asked casually, "How long was the first best Christmas?"

Tom was silent for a long time, seemingly thinking, "It's first grade."

Shimaier's hand rested on Tom's palm, and they walked into the center of the hall naturally as if they were a pair made in heaven.

"Tom, you are finally here." Professor Horn, dressed in fine clothes, walked towards them.

"Professor" Tom shouted respectfully. "Originally I wanted to leave the opening dance to you, but you didn't come and I had to give it to Lestrange and Lucretia." Professor Horn secretly said to Tom, "Don't you mind if you don't have to dance with your daughter?" Oh, hello, Shimaier, hello." He said this before he saw Shimaier, "You are very beautiful today."

Shimaier nodded, "Thank you." In fact, Shimaier wanted to say that she looked beautiful every day, but when she saw Professor Horn talking to Tom immediately, she felt that it was not necessary.

She looked around boredly and saw that Hagrid had no companions around him. Indeed, there were no girls in such a big Hogwarts to dance with him, so Hagrid focused on tasting delicious food. Alphard and Caroline were sitting on chairs laughing. They didn’t know what they were laughing about. Anyway, Shimaier hoped that they could always be happy. The Rozier brothers and sisters were looking at him from the shadows, and Shimaier raised his eyebrows in that direction with interest.

After Tom sent Professor Horn away, the little Death Eaters gathered around him again. Shimael was already feeling bored, and the soreness in her soles made her feel uncomfortable every minute, so she looked into the hall again and found Professor Dumbledore holding a goblet to greet her.

Shimael was confused about Dumbledore's attitude, but still nodded in response.

She had a bad feeling, as if Dumbledore knew something, so Shimaier touched the ring thoughtfully to confirm its status.

The ring is now a transparent red color that matches her dress today.

Suddenly the noise in her ears seemed to stop, and she lowered her eyes to cover up her disappointed look.

She never belonged here, she was just a person who would leave at any time.

Suddenly Shimael wanted to escape from this space where she had no place for herself, whether it was in the group of small Death Eaters, using Hogwarts where Tom had just entered, or she wanted to leave here for a while.

Tom noticed something strange about Shimaier, grabbed Shimaier who was about to turn around and left, and then intertwined their fingers.

"Stay with me Shimael."

Tom's index finger accidentally touched the ring.
