[HP+Shenxia] Unexpected encounter

As Christmas approached day by day, the students' emotions became higher day by day, and Hogwarts was full of noisy crowds.

Hogwarts students and staff want to impress guests from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, and they seem determined to show the castle at its best this Christmas.The school was festooned with lights, the marble staircase was covered with everlasting icicles, and the twelve Christmas trees customary in the auditorium were decorated with baubles of every kind, from From shiny holly berries to live golden owls who can't stop hooting.The armor was enchanted so that it would sing Christmas carols whenever anyone passed by.

"Holmes!"

Aurora was discussing something with Elvira and Draco in the corridor, while Pansy and Blaise were listening and giving a suggestion from time to time. Aurora suddenly heard someone calling her name. She looked back and found that it was a Albert, the senior of Ravenclaw.

"Senior Albert, what can you do?" Aurora greeted him.

Albert smiled at Aurora, "Holmes, I want to ask you, do I have the honor to be your dance partner at the Christmas party?"

Aurora was taken aback for a moment, but she didn't expect that someone else would invite her to be her dance partner, and she was also a senior from another academy, but her dance partner had already been confirmed, so Aurora had to say sorry: "Senior Albert, thank you for your invitation, but Sorry, I already have a partner."

"It's okay, our Miss Warrior is too popular, I'm late." Albert shrugged. Although he was rejected, he didn't show any embarrassment. After all, everyone knows that Aurora is very popular among Hogwarts men. Popular, "May I ask which man is so lucky to be your dance partner?"

"Maybe you can see it for yourself at the Yule Ball? I think it will be a big surprise." Aurora blinked mischievously but did not say clearly.

"Okay, then I'll go and see who this surprising male companion is."

After saying goodbye to Albert, Elvira and Draco exploded.

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

"Who is who?"

"Didn't you still yell at us yesterday, don't you know who you are looking for as a dance partner? Why did you suddenly have a dance partner we don't know after just one night?" Elvira questioned her soul. what happened?As Aurora's roommate, she doesn't know anything.

Facing the questions from several people, Aurora smiled and said nothing, and said nothing, "You will know when the time comes."

On Christmas Day, people's emotions are mobilized to the peak, and people can be seen walking around happily everywhere.At seven o'clock in the evening, the students staying in school returned to their dormitories to change into their dress robes, preparing to attend this grand Christmas dinner.

However, most of the boys who hurried back to the dormitory were boys. Compared with the girls who disappeared a few hours ago, they only needed to change into their robes, and then combed their hair before they could show up.

At just 07:30, the foyer of the auditorium was already crowded with students and looked chaotic.Most of them came a little early to meet their dance partners from other houses.Of course, there were still a small group of people who couldn't hold back their excitement at all, so they went to the foyer early to wait for the arrival of eight o'clock-only then, the door of the auditorium would open.

Because Pansy and Elvira had warned in advance that they didn't need to wait for them in the Slytherin lounge, Draco and Blaise, as male companions, came to the hall early to wait for their female companions to arrive.

"I don't know how long it will take for them?" Draco was a little anxious. As one of the warriors, he needed to perform the opening dance. I hope Elvira will not be late.

"Draco, the ladies need to dress up and show up at the scene. As male companions, we just have to wait patiently."

Suddenly a figure wearing a dark red suit appeared beside them. According to their known friends, none of them were going to wear a red suit tonight, so Draco didn't want to pay attention to this person at first, but because this person's voice was special So familiar, so he subconsciously glanced at him.

"You are...Christie!" Draco looked at the dark red figure beside him in surprise.

I saw Christie wearing a dark red suit and a man's attire. Because of some makeup methods that Draco and Blaise didn't understand, Christie's facial features looked particularly three-dimensional. She had short hair tied in half and used hairspray Fixed, the whole person is chic and handsome.

"You, you, why are you dressed like this?" Blaise also pointed at Christie in surprise.

Christie shrugged, "I don't think there is any problem with this, after all, I didn't say that it can't be reversed."

The oaken front door was opened, and everyone turned to see Durmstrang's student walking in with Professor Karkaroff.Krum walked in the front, but stopped not far from the hall. He also had to wait for his female companion who hadn't appeared yet.

The time was almost up, and well-dressed ladies appeared one after another, Elvira in a crescent white dress, Pansy in a black dress with a queen aura, Sylvia in a yellow dress, Hermione in a lavender dress and dark blue Aurora in dresses.

Christie's suit is the dark red that represents Gryffindor. Originally, Aurora also wanted to choose Slytherin's green, but it may be because the two colleges are inherently incompatible. The combination of the dark red suit and the green dress skirt No matter how you look at it, it makes people feel a little weird. Aurora and Christie, who have Hua Guoxin, always think of the Northeast cotton padded jacket.Finally, at Mycroft's suggestion, Aurora changed the color of the dress to dark blue.

Aurora walked up to Christie with a smile and took her arm, "Now you know who my male partner is."

"I don't think it's a surprise, it's more like a shock!" Bryce rolled his eyes blankly, "I thought it was Professor Snape, the Snake King of our college." As Aurora's friends, they all Know about the relationship between Aurora and Snape.

Aurora also didn't say that Snape had a mission, "If Professor Snape is on stage, do you think our opening dance can go smoothly?"

Blaise thought about it, yes, except for those who have a good relationship with Aurora and know that the two are in a relationship, the students of other colleges, including their own college, would have to drop their jaws in shock, and they might step on the feet of their dance partners by making frequent mistakes in their dance steps. Woolen cloth.

At this moment, Professor McGonagall's voice sounded, "Now, warriors, please come here with your respective dance partners."

It was their turn to play, Draco and Christie stretched out their hands to Elvira and Aurora at the same time, the four nodded to Pansy and Blaise and walked in the direction of Professor McGonagall go.Immediately behind was Harry in a handsome tuxedo, leading a lady in a light pink robe with frills; Sylvia and a Hufflepuff senior; Cedric and Cho Chang.

The Christmas dinner that everyone was looking forward to was officially kicked off when the warriors from the three schools came out together.

After everyone took their seats in the auditorium, Professor McGonagall asked the warriors and their dance partners to line up two by two, and followed her in.They filed in and walked towards the big round table where the referees sat at the front of the auditorium. The people in the auditorium applauded enthusiastically.

The walls of the auditorium were covered with gleaming silver frost, the ceiling was a starry night sky, and hundreds of garlands of mistletoe sprigs and ivy hung.The four academy tables were gone, replaced by a hundred small lantern-lit tables, with a dozen or so people seated at each table.

There was no food on the shiny golden plate. Looking at the menu next to the plate, Aurora softly recited the food she wanted to eat, and then happily enjoyed the delicious Christmas dinner.

When everyone had finished eating, Dumbledore stood up and told the others to stand up too.And then with a flick of his wand, some of the tables whizzed away to the wall, leaving an open space in between.He also conjured up a high stage, attached to the base of the right wall, on which stood a drum kit, some guitars, a lute, a cello, and several organs.

As a high stage rises, the Weird Sisters surge onto the stage together.After they picked up their instruments and got ready, all the lanterns on the table were extinguished, and instead the dance floor became brightly lit.

As a slow, sad tune sounded, the twelve warriors from three schools and their dance partners slid onto the dance floor one after another.Enjoy the wonderful moment and enjoy the amazement of people under the eyes of everyone.

Slowly, many people also entered the dance floor, and the warriors gradually ceased to be the center of everyone's attention.Everyone was enjoying their own share of happiness, even the professors began to relax themselves, jumping up with each other, and the atmosphere gradually reached a climax.

As the last quivering note of the organ ended, the dance was stopped and the Weird Sisters were applauded enthusiastically.But this break is only a short 1 minute, because the sound of music came from the stage again, this is a new song that is much lighter than before.

"Do you want to continue dancing?" After the dance was over, Christie led Aurora away from the center of the dance floor.

A huge Christmas tree stood behind the teacher's bench, and Dumbledore changed the outer packaging of the gift box into red and green colors very appropriately.All the professors adjusted their clothes or accessories according to the occasion, except for the Slytherin Snake King who always looked the same.

Aurora looked at Snape who was still wearing a black magic robe, "I want to dance with the others."

Following the direction of Aurora's eyes, Christie saw Snape with the expressive eyes, and she teased, "I knew that you agreed to be my female companion because you intended to use me as a tool, and you still have to go to your dear after the opening dance." of."

Aurora gave her a speechless look, and then said seriously, "I know you danced the man's step to avoid Polti's invitation, but this is not a good way after all, what do you think?"

"It's impossible for me to talk to him." Christie's eyes were half-closed, making Aurora unable to see the emotion in her eyes, "I like to be free, the Polti family is loyal to Grindelwald, and Phyllis Polti He is the only heir of the Polti family, and he will also obey Greenwald in the future, and I can't stand being restricted everywhere with him."

"I don't want to become someone's subordinate just because of a man, let alone a man, isn't it good to be single? Why give up an entire forest for a sapling?" Christie smiled suddenly, "Go find you Go to Professor Snape, I'm going to dance with other young ladies too."

Aurora restrained her worry about Christie, and said with a smile, "It seems that tonight you will become the most annoying male companion for Hogwarts men, bar none."

"Hello, Professor Snape, may I have the honor to dance with you?" Aurora looked at the man in front of her who was standing straight and straight, with empty eyes, but from time to time she would pay attention to whether Moody was still standing beside her. suddenly felt that he was a little cute.

Hearing Aurora's teasing voice, Snape withdrew his thoughts and turned to Aurora, who was dressed in a dark blue dress and exquisitely dressed. He nodded slightly, "As you wish, Miss Aurora."

Snape held out his hand to Aurora, and as she put it in his own, pulled her onto the dance floor, and began to dance gracefully to the music.

As for that "Moody"... the time for a dance should not be lost, and besides, wouldn't there be Dumbledore by his side? If it wasn't for him, he would be the male partner of Aurora's ball now.Nepe believed that their honorable Lord Dumbledore would take this ambitious Death Eater seriously.
